"Thank you, Kikyo-chan. Kikyo-chan, you're really the best!" Yae Sakura immediately rushed to Kikyo's side and hugged her.
"Let go of me. Let me make this clear first! If I find out you've done anything that harms humans, I won't let you off." Kikyo hurriedly pushed Yae Sakura away.
"How could I! I'm a Miko too, how could I possibly harm humans? My duty is to slay yokai and fight for humanity's bright future!"
"Is that so... Remember what you said."
And so, Yae Sakura took up temporary residence in Kaede Village.
Time passed, and before long, a year had gone by...
"Sister Sakura, sister Kikyo accepted a commission from another village and is about to leave. Aren't you getting up yet?"
Yae Sakura was sleeping when a little loli in Miko robes suddenly came over to her bedside. Looking at the fox ears atop Yae Sakura's head, she called out to her while fighting the urge to rub them.
The little loli still remembered how miserably she had been beaten after secretly grabbing Yae Sakura's fox ears while she slept last time.
"A commission? So early... I'll be right there!"
Yae Sakura immediately climbed out of bed. After arriving in Kaede Village, she had discovered that doing the villagers' commissions with Kikyo could actually earn her Crystal.
Though she usually only received one Crystal, and there was even no reward at all if the commission was too easy.
Even commissions like escorting Xia Ji last time only gave five Crystal, which was already considered a lot.
But small gains added up! Over the course of a year, Yae Sakura often followed Kikyo on commissions. Not only had the villagers of Kaede Village completely accepted her identity as a Half-Demon, she had also earned nearly three hundred Crystal.
Together with the Crystal she earned from slaying yokai, Yae Sakura now had nearly a thousand in her possession.
Wow... Only a thousand Crystal in an entire year. I really am a failure!
Mainly because she had not encountered another Great Yokai since then. Great Yokai were a rarity in this world, after all.
As for missions, they were mainly Commission Missions. There had only been that one Bounty Mission from the beginning, and it still had not been completed.
The objective of killing a Great Yokai had been completed, but she was still one hundred yokai short of killing ten thousand.
That was because Yae Sakura had already cleared out all the yokai nearby, making them difficult to find.
"Kikyo-chan, wait for me! I'm coming!"
After quickly washing up, Yae Sakura hurried over to Kikyo.
"You don't need to rush like that. I haven't left yet. I really don't understand why you're so obsessed with commissions." Watching Yae Sakura rush over in such a hurry, Kikyo shook her head helplessly.
"What commission is it this time?"
Yokai and commissions were her main sources of Crystal, so naturally Yae Sakura would not let one slip away.
For some reason, whenever she went on commissions with Kikyo, the system seemed to treat them as though they were in a party. As long as she completed a Commission Mission together with Kikyo, she would receive a reward.
"I just accepted a commission from Priest Touzheng. He wants us to purify the Hundred Demons that are about to break free from their seal."
In another village, there was a renowned priest named Yuanzheng. A group of yokai had been sealed within the temple guarded by Priest Touzheng.
