I Don't Want to Be a Valkyrie

After Kiyohime left, Yae Sakura returned to Xia Ji's side.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine! Lord Yae, how are you? Are you hurt?" Xia Ji looked at Yae Sakura with concern.

"I'm fine! Alright, the matter is resolved. I'll take you home!"

"That Tsuchigumo..."

"It's gone!"

"Oh."

Half an hour later...

Finally... Xia Ji was sent home, and the commission was completed, earning 5 crystals.

It wasn't a small amount, considering how little a Great Yokai was worth.

As for Xia Ji's offer to have her father reward her, Yae Sakura directly refused. With hundreds of millions of gold coins on her, she didn't care about the meager reward from a mere noble.

However, Yae Sakura did ask Xia Ji to help boost her reputation. To become a famous Miko, she needed help spreading the word to gain renown faster.

Finally, Yae Sakura rummaged through her warehouse and took out a one-star USP45, handing it to Xia Ji.

"I'll visit you again. Take this for protection! With this on you, you should be able to handle ordinary humans and weak yokai. Practice your accuracy when you're alone."

Although Xia Ji was beautiful, Yae Sakura, who would eventually leave, didn't have any intentions of pursuing a relationship with her. However, they had met, and could be considered friends.

Yae Sakura discovered that the guns and cannons in her warehouse all had infinite ammunition... There was no such thing as running out of bullets.

With the USP45, Xia Ji should be able to deal with common bandits. As for anything else, that would depend on her.

"Lord Yae, are you leaving?"

Xia Ji looked at Yae Sakura with reluctance. Although they had only known each other for a day or two... Xia Ji deeply remembered Yae Sakura's care for her along the way.

"Yes! Take care, we'll meet again."

Waving goodbye, Yae Sakura put on her cloak and left Tanihara Castle directly.

After leaving Tanihara Castle, Yae Sakura felt a sense of freedom and ease. Before, because Xia Ji was with her, Yae Sakura had been traveling slowly. Now... Yae Sakura could travel as fast as she wanted, instantly appearing from the tip of one tree to another.
