After watching Kiyohime leave, Yae Sakura finally returned to Xia Ji's side.
"Are you all right?"
"I'm fine. How about you, Lord Yae? You weren't hurt, were you?" Xia Ji looked at Yae Sakura with concern.
"I'm fine! All right, it's settled now. I'll take you home!"
"That Tsuchigumo..."
"It's gone!"
"Oh."
Half an hour later...
At last... Yae Sakura had sent Xia Ji home, and the Commission Mission was complete. Five Crystals.
That was actually not a small amount. After all, even a Great Yokai only gave that much.
As for Xia Ji's offer to have her father reward Yae Sakura, she refused outright. She now possessed hundreds of millions of gold coins; the meager reward from some noble was beneath her notice.
Still, Yae Sakura had Xia Ji help spread her reputation. To become a famous miko, she naturally needed people to promote her so she could gain fame more quickly.
In the end, Yae Sakura searched through her storage and took out a one-star USP45, handing it to Xia Ji.
"I'll come see you again in the future. Take this to protect yourself! With it on you, you should be able to deal with ordinary humans and weak yokai. Practice your accuracy more when you're alone."
Although Xia Ji was very beautiful, Yae Sakura knew she would eventually leave, so she had never considered anything happening between them.
Still, they had met by chance. They could be considered friends.
Yae Sakura discovered that all the guns and cannons in her storage had unlimited ammunition...
There was no such thing as running out of bullets.
With a USP45 on her, Xia Ji should be able to handle ordinary bandits and the like.
As for everything else, that would depend on Xia Ji herself.
"Lord Yae, are you leaving?"
Xia Ji looked at Yae Sakura reluctantly. Though they had only known each other for a day or two, Yae Sakura's care for her along the way had left a deep impression on Xia Ji's heart.
"Yes! Take care. Until we meet again."
With a wave of her hand, Yae Sakura put on her cloak and left Tanihara Castle.
After leaving Tanihara Castle, Yae Sakura immediately felt relaxed and free on her own. With Xia Ji beside her before, she had traveled slowly.
But now... Yae Sakura could go as fast as she wanted.
From the tip of one tree, she instantly appeared on another.
