I Don't Want to Be a Valkyrie

"Thank you, Kikyo! Kikyo, you're truly the best!" Yae Sakura immediately went to Kikyo's side and hugged her.

"Let go of me! Let's get this straight! If I find out you've done anything to harm humans, I won't let you off the hook," Kikyo quickly pushed Yae Sakura away.

"How could I possibly! I'm a Miko too, how could I harm humans!! My duty is to slay yokai and fight for a better future for humanity!"

"Is that so... Remember your own words."

And so, Yae Sakura ended up staying in Kaede Village.

Time passed, and soon a year had gone by...

"Sister Sakura, Sister Kikyo is going on a commission to another village and is about to leave. Aren't you getting up yet?" Yae Sakura was sleeping when a little loli in a Miko outfit suddenly walked to her bedside. She looked at the fox ears on Yae Sakura's head, suppressing the urge to stroke them, and called out to her.

The little loli still remembered the miserable state she was in the last time she secretly grabbed Yae Sakura's fox ears while she was sleeping and got beaten.

"A commission? So early... I'm coming right away!"

Yae Sakura, who had been sleeping, immediately got up. Upon arriving in Kaede Village, Yae Sakura discovered that she could earn Crystals by taking on commissions with the villagers alongside Kikyo.

Although it was usually only one Crystal, and sometimes none if the difficulty was too low.

Commissions like escorting Xia Ji last time, which yielded five Crystals, were considered high.

But every little bit counts! In the span of a year, Yae Sakura often accompanied Kikyo on commissions. Not only did this lead to the villagers of Kaede Village fully accepting her half-demon identity, but she also earned nearly three hundred Crystals.

Combined with the Crystals obtained from slaying yokai, Yae Sakura now had about 1000 in her possession.

Wow... only a thousand Crystals in a year. I'm such a failure!

The main reason was that she hadn't encountered any Great Yokai since then. Great Yokai were, after all, a minority in this world.

As for missions, they were mainly commission missions. The bounty mission that started at the beginning was still not completed.

The mission to slay Great Yokai was completed. She was still short by a hundred for slaying ten thousand yokai.

This was because Yae Sakura had cleared out all the surrounding yokai, making them harder to find.

Chapter 16: Slaying Ten Thousand Yokai

"Kikyo, wait for me, I'm here!"

After quickly washing up, Yae Sakura hurried to Kikyo's side.

"Don't be so rushed, I haven't left yet. I really don't understand why you're so fixated on commissions," Kikyo shook her head, seemingly exasperated, as she watched Yae Sakura arrive in a hurry.

"What kind of commission is it this time?"

Crystals were mainly obtained from yokai and commissions, so Yae Sakura naturally wouldn't miss out.

For some unknown reason, it seemed like when she went on commissions with Kikyo, the system automatically put them in a team. As long as they completed commission missions together, there would be rewards.

"We just received a commission from Priest Touzheng to purify a hundred demons that are about to break free from their seal."

In another village, there was a famous priest named Touzheng. The temple guarded by Priest Touzheng sealed a group of yokai.
