Chapter 14: Wow~ Jade Feet! Quickly use Evil-Impulses on her!
After helping Yotsuya Mico resolve her issue, Shirakawa returned home nearing midnight, pushing open the large flat's security door.
It wasn't empty like before.
Because
As he was about to change into his indoor slippers, a girl in a white princess dress with a red rose bow sat obediently on the floor.
She was leaning forward, pushing the indoor slippers towards Shirakawa.
Mary's fair face, with a touch of childishness, strained into a forced smile, because she felt this human's strength seemed to have increased.
"Shirakawa-sama, you're back..."
"..."
His gaze scanned the obedient white-haired loli before him. Even Shirakawa found it hard to imagine that this girl's identity was actually an urban legend.
Adhering to the rules.
She didn't leave while he was out running errands, and even found her place in the house, assuming the role of a diligent, white-haired maid?
Seeing Shirakawa fall silent.
Mary's heart couldn't help but flicker with anxiety. But upon careful reflection, she hadn't done anything outrageous. She asked nervously, "Shirakawa-sama..."
"What's wrong?"
"Did I do something wrong?"
And as the already petite girl sat in a frog-like position in front of Shirakawa, what caught his eye were her delicate jade feet.
They were like sculpted works of art, a pair of pristine white, tender, youthful skin. Her soft toes were like grapes, making him want to bite into them.
Tomorrow was the weekend.
Not having to go to school, it was indeed a good opportunity to refine magic and level up skills!
Thinking this.
Shirakawa shook his head gently, his tone cheerful, "No, I just suddenly thought of something... um, quickly use Evil-Impulses on her (fist bump)!"
"Huh?"
Before Mary could realize the seriousness of the situation, she felt her small body being lifted, leaving a chill running down her legs with the sudden void.
Moments later, gazing out at the bustling cityscape from the floor-to-ceiling window.
Her eyes were a little dazed, but as an urban legend, after being abandoned, her empty heart was filled, and the same applied to her body.
It was already heading towards ruin.
Although she was being treated very roughly (exorcism, no other meaning)... but if she could be treated like this every day, Mary felt from the bottom of her heart.
It seemed to be quite good.
She reached out a small hand and gently touched her abdomen.
Gritting her teeth.
"Please... Shirakawa-sama... exorcise me again!"

Refining magic is a persistent endeavor. Utilizing the 'Holy Sword User' profession's skills to refine, by the time the next morning arrived.
More than 5 hours had passed.
Staying up all night.
He didn't feel any physical fatigue.
Opening his eyes again, Shirakawa could clearly feel the magic flowing within his body. This mysterious energy, compared to when he awakened as a Holy Sword User.
Was significantly stronger.
Most importantly, this magic was constantly transforming his body. There weren't any significant changes in the short term, but with continuous refinement.
He had a faint feeling.
He could increase his basic attributes with the 'Holy Sword User' profession!
"This is... the effect of magic refinement?"
「You have accumulated 5 hours of magic extraction, gaining Skill Experience +300, Magic Refinement Lv4 (300/10000)」
「You have accumulated 5 hours of magic extraction, gaining Profession Experience +300.」
「Your skill 'Purification' gained experience +3000 (Lv3→Lv4)」
「Your skill 'Vigor' gained experience +3000 (Lv4→Lv5)」
Ignoring the meager experience from the profession level, it was the 'Exorcist' skills Purification and Vigor that, through last night's tireless work.
Successfully leveled up to level 4.
They were only one step away from max level. If there was a problem, it was that he couldn't continue to gain experience from Mary, the urban legend.
How to max out Purification, he still needed to consider properly.
Shirakawa climbed out of bed, sunlight streaming in through the room's floor-to-ceiling windows.
It felt lazy and warm on his skin.
He looked at the sleeping Mary. Sunlight splashed on the girl's fair, porcelain skin, seemingly a remnant of last night's frenzy.
He could still see a faint blush on her cheeks.
"Good morning, Shirakawa-sama."
Feeling the arm that was holding her being withdrawn, Mary gradually woke up from her sleep, but as she felt the sunlight bathe her.
She didn't feel any discomfort at all.
After greeting him, she sat stunned on the bed. Urban legends, compared to ordinary evil spirits, possessed real bodies.
As for sunlight...
It would dispel the resentment on their bodies. Mary rarely acted during the day.
Now being bathed in sunlight, she felt no discomfort at all, but a faint warmth instead. Her azure blue pupils were filled with astonishment.
"I..."
"Have I achieved Buddhahood?"
Facing Mary's confusion, Shirakawa shook his head gently, "Achieving Buddhahood is directly ascending to the Heavenly Realm. Your resentment has been completely purified by me."
She could feel the resentment being completely purified, but Mary recalled the conversation from last night, and her heart unexpectedly grew nervous.
The girl tilted her head, a flicker of complexity in her eyes.
"Then... Shirakawa-sama, are you not going to want me anymore?"
"..."
A Fiji Cup can still be used after being washed.
What's more, Mary was a beautiful girl after being purified. Shirakawa didn't answer directly, shaking his head, "I don't like the term 'sama'."
"Then..."
"Can I call you Master?"
The girl raised her head, her eyes filled with hope. If she really could, she wanted to serve Shirakawa forever.
"Of course."
He could use Mary to find other urban legends, helping him train his 'Purification' skill. Shirakawa said it somewhat awkwardly.
It's like having your cake and eating it too.
Anyway, leveling up is a gradual process. If he could encounter other urban legends and successfully unlock their entries, he wouldn't mind.
Getting out of bed and preparing to wash up.
Shirakawa opened the Dimensional Chat Group, ready to see if anything had happened last night. The first thing that caught his eye was a plethora of unread messages.
"So lively?"
He furrowed his brows, ready to do some casual peeking. But when Shirakawa noticed a strange profile picture in the group member list.
He instantly realized...
The Dimensional Chat Group, a new member has joined?
