“Lord Ling Qing, w-what should I do?”
“Shōbu, you are here.”
“O-Okay.”
As time passed.
Miyamoto Rei’s face turned red.
Takajo Saya, blushing with anger, scratched her hair and shouted: “Who can tell me what happened?!”
From inside the room, Ling Qing's voice echoed.
“Shut up!”
Their chatter was making it impossible for him to enjoy himself.
“Want to know what happened? See for yourself.”
Ling Qing bestowed three sub-groups upon the three of them.
The room instantly fell silent.
But just because the three stopped talking didn’t mean there were no other sounds.
…
Two hours.
“They…went out.”
Kiryuuin Shizuka whispered.
“I know!”
Takajo Saya’s face was flushed with shame.
Two hours.
Two hours!
Do you know how they spent those two hours?
That hateful guy.
He even brazenly said what kind of way he would use to manipulate them.
So shameless!!!
Now, they have completely understood everything through the sub-group.
Trading!
It’s all trading!
Miyamoto Rei lowered her eyes, staring at her skirt in the darkness.
She found herself strange.
Water had risen in her eyes when she heard those words.
She muttered to herself, “Can we trade too?”
“Huh?”
Takajo Saya expressed confusion.
“Do you think becoming like Sae, being… being like that, can make you strong? It’s impossible!”
Unless you train your body.
It’s not that easy.
Although doing that does indeed have some effect on strengthening the body.
But it’s far from enough.
Takajo Saya still chooses to believe in science.
She also believes that the Chat Group is probably some kind of alien technology.
Until almost an hour later.
“Good, you’ve all made great progress.”
The three heard Ling Qing’s voice.
They all stretched their heads towards the window.
They saw one man and two women standing under the streetlight.
The strange woman among them held an ice crystal bow, and without an arrow, condensed an ice arrow that she shot out.
Whoosh!
One arrow pierced through several approaching corpses.
Bang!
The ice arrow also exploded, spewing ice shards.
And Tōdō Sae swung her katana.
Clang!
She unleashed a visible blade of energy.
With one stroke, she sliced three or four corpses in half!
Takajo Saya rubbed her eyes: “What is that?!”
The two had become stronger with Ling Qing’s help.
【Name】：四方川菖蒲
【Level】：7
【Abilities】：「Ling Qing’s Blessing」、「Ice Crystal Archery」
The corpses in this world are also experience books.
Shōbu leveled up to 7.
As for Tōdō Sae.
Ling Qing gave her a blessing in accordance with their trade.
【Name】：Tōdō Sae
【Level】：5
【Abilities】：「Energy Blade」、「Tōdō Style Swordsmanship」、「Ling Qing’s Blessing」
「Energy Blade」: By wielding energy, one can unleash a powerful blade of energy.
This is the power Sae received after gaining his blessing.
Sae felt the surging power within her body.
“So strong.”
Unbelievable.
This power was merely acquired by exchanging her cheap body in the apocalypse.
However, Ling Qing frowned at Sae and said: “Sae, you seem to be suppressing your nature too much.”
四方川菖蒲 looked at her in confusion.
This woman, who was so bold when serving Lord Ling Qing, was suppressing herself?
She couldn’t see it.
“...”
Sae’s figure trembled slightly.
She was seen through!
Yes.
Tōdō Sae was suppressing her nature.
Or rather, she was afraid of her nature.
It wasn’t the kind of suppression she felt when being dominated by Ling Qing.
In middle school, Tōdō Sae had been targeted by a pervert on her way home from school.
But because she carried a wooden sword with her.
She deliberately let the pervert approach her.
When he got close, she used her wooden sword to seriously injure him.
She even broke his leg bones and shoulder blades.
It was actually excessive self-defense.
But considering the situation at that time, a middle school girl against a pervert.
The police naturally didn’t pursue Tōdō’s responsibility.
After that.
Tōdō Sae painfully realized she had a strong tendency towards violence.
When she hit that pervert.
She felt great joy and excitement inside.
She felt that she harbored an unforgivable darkness in her heart, that she wasn’t worthy of a girlish heart.
After killing the corpses just now, she felt that excitement again.
It was like the excitement she felt when used by Ling Qing with the High Times technique, exactly the same.
Therefore, Tōdō Sae held back, fearing what she might do.
Otherwise, she could have leveled up even faster.
Ling Qing saw through this, which is why he reminded her.
“You may have your reasons.”
“But the instinct to kill is fine as long as you face your enemies, isn’t it?”
He walked up to Tōdō Sae.
He lifted her chin.
He stared into her eyes.
“If you can’t find enemies, then become my sword, my enemies will all be your enemies.”
“!!!”
Tōdō Sae felt a certain impulse in her heart break free from its cage.
Her crystal-clear eyes shimmered with a hazy moisture.
Her body and mind seemed to become the shape of Ling Qing.
She is a bloodthirsty sword that will lose control, but as long as someone holds her.
That person…must be Ling Qing.
“Ling Qing-kun, please let me become your sword.”
As she spoke, the Chat Group displayed a new prompt.
【Ding! Tōdō Sae has initiated a trade request!】
【Trade Content】：Until exhaustion and dehydration.
【Ding! Please select the trade conditions!】
“So excited to become my sword? Then come.”
Ling Qing grinned.
【Ding! Trade begins!】
【Trade Partner】：Tōdō Sae
【Trade Content】：Until exhaustion and dehydration.
【Trade Conditions】：「Energy Blade」, 「Body Usage Rights Infinite Times」.
【Duration】：Until the trade content is fulfilled.
“Shōbu, go inside.”
“Eh? Y-yes, Lord.”
