I talked to the fox youkai sealed in the sword.

“Did you wake up while I was passing out?”

[A little before that.]

“Then right after I defeated the vampire?”

[It will be around that time. I saw you falling over and losing consciousness.]

It seems that splitting the vampire’s heart and drinking its blood helped him recover.

Absorbing the vampire’s blood, it didn’t stop at erasing the rust, it seemed to restore strength through it.

[Conversely, when did you realize that the original woman had awakened?]

“From the beginning. I thought you would know as soon as I woke up and saw you?”

I wondered how long you would keep your mouth shut, so I didn’t talk to you.

If I leave it as it is and there is a problem, I will be the only one who suffers, so I spoke first.

Watching the conversation continue, it seemed that he had no intention of rushing recklessly to steal my body like the last time.

“Aren’t you trying to swallow me into the mental space like before?”

[I haven’t been able to recover that much. I could only barely wake up my consciousness.]

It’s definitely recovered a lot, but it looks less than when I saw it in the treasure chest.

Even in the image space, it seemed as if they were forcibly using force.

It must have been difficult to recover all the consumed power with a power that is less than that of even one intermediate level vampire.

“It seemed that it didn’t matter if the blood wasn’t fresh.”

I don’t know who the owner of the red blood the vampire used to be, but it must not have been freshly spilled blood.

Furthermore, seeing that they drink even the blue blood that flows from the vampire’s heart, it seems that they are not obsessed with human blood.

[It tasted awful… .]

As if he didn’t want to think about it, he revealed his displeasure without filtering it.

He was like a child complaining about side dishes.

“There seems to be a difference in taste.”

[The vampire’s blood… It tastes like food waste. The taste of food waste that has been left unattended for several days and has a rotten smell.]

I don’t know exactly how old the vampire I defeated, but he must have had enough to eat since he was conditionally immortal.

If he were not a baron, but a viscount, he would have lived for over 100 years.

“My blood?”

However, what Yodo drank was not only the vampire’s blood, but also mine.

It was a pity, but it was just spitting blood over the sword.

[It happened while I was asleep, so I don’t remember exactly, but I guess it wasn’t too bad.]

And don’t ask irrelevant questions like how my blood tasted.

There were still questions to be asked.

“So what do you have to say to me?”

[that… Good luck in the future?]

Maegu’s answer was far from what I wanted.

“Please do well in the future? Is that all you have to say?”

[What more do you need to say?]

And it came out much more brazenly than I thought.

It was to the point that I felt the urge to throw the sword I was holding at that tone, as if I had done nothing wrong.

However, if you throw it, it only scratches the bottom and the scabbard, so it can’t do any damage to Maegu.

But it wasn’t that there was no way.

‘Do you want to check the performance of the talisman?’

Thanks to Eleanor’s generous rescue, the talisman had enough space.

A chance to test how effective it is on the same urethra.

‘For now, let’s be patient a little longer.’

However, I was prepared to use it immediately if it got on my nerves.

Whether he knew my feelings or not, Mae-gu kept talking.

[It’s true that the original girl threatened you, but didn’t you also get help from the original girl?]

“You mean in a fight with a vampire?”

[I was in a deep sleep at the time of the fight, but I understood roughly what was going on. If it wasn’t for the original girl, it would have been a tougher fight.]

As Maegu said, it is true that he relied on the performance of the yodo to a large extent while fighting the vampires.

“What does that have to do with you?”

I only used the function of the urethra effectively, but I did not receive direct help from Maegu.

It is said that this does not help at all to settle the grudge relationship between me and Maegu.

While fighting the vampire, Mae-gu woke up and helped, although the situation might have been a little different.

[It comes out quite shamelessly.]

“Who is to say?”

Mae-gu is talking to me shamelessly, but I still haven’t forgotten the grudge of that time.

The fight in which I even saw a kaleidoscope, trying to calm my mind and take away this body in the image space.

After fighting for a while, Maegu spoke first.

[I think we’ll be seeing each other for a long time. Isn’t there nothing good about raising the blade like that?]

see you for a long time? If you don’t like it, you can throw away this weapon right away.

It’s because Yodora is a rare weapon, so I’m carrying it.

If you don’t like it, you can always change it.

But what he said next was enough to make me panic.

[No matter what, we are bound to each other.]

“Wait a minute, what are you talking about?”

[Gongmyeongjizo (共命之鳥). To put it simply, the original woman and you are a community of destiny.]

“Why am I sharing a destiny with you?”

I know that some kind of contract is needed to borrow the power of a special weapon with an ego.

It was the same with the Holy Sword and the Demon Sword.

It was quite predictable that Yodo would do the same.

However, I have never signed any contract with Maegu.

“I don’t think I remember making a contract like that with you.”

[A contract does not necessarily have to be divided into words and written down.]

There was something in Maegoo’s words that came to mind.

From the past to the present, something thicker than the water used for contracts.

And what I did during the battle with the vampire.

“Could it be, blood?”

[You did remember. Your blood became the thread connecting the contract with the original daughter.]

I must have spilled my blood on the sword in the fight against the vampire.

Although it was spitting blood, it was definitely blood.

However, compared to the blood the sword absorbed from the vampire, the amount of blood I spit out was insignificant.

“If that’s the case, shouldn’t the contract be made with the vampire instead of me?”

[How about those who have already died and disappeared? Besides, blood is only a medium to the end. It is not something that can be contracted with just anyone.]

An object called the ‘Ego Sword’, which possesses an ego, rides on its owner.

If the unique sense called wavelength doesn’t match, they don’t pay attention.

And Maegoo and I have such a good wavelength that you can hear their voices even before you touch them.

Not only that, but there was also a time when the image was connected, and blood was shed on the sword.

[On the contrary, isn’t it a strange situation that the contract with the original daughter is not concluded?]

“exactly. It is.”

[Yes, since we’ve been seeing each other for a long time. Shake off the past and start a new relationship… .]

“But as far as I know, contracts aren’t so simple?”

Magu’s words were right.

I somehow had an argument, and it was enough to convince me.

If I hadn’t had prior information, I might have been fooled.

“You’re trying to make a contract by getting stupid consent. He is shrewd and cunning like a fox youkai.”

[…] … .]

Mae-gu, who had been babbling like a mute who had eaten honey, stopped talking.

As Maegoo said, the string must have been connected.

To put it bluntly, the provisional contract before the main contract was concluded.

“As you said, we are not yet close enough to call it a community of destiny.”

[How to do that… .]

Strangely enough, this youkai is bad at lying.

He might hide or lie, but if you look at the way he speaks obediently.

Maybe there is a ban related to it.

“I thought I wouldn’t use it if I respected you. This won’t work.”

It will lubricate your conversation with this cheeky fox youkai.

It also relieves a little bit of grudge.

[I have a bad feeling about something… .]

Like a monster, his senses were quite sharp.

But after the water has already been spilled.

“One sheet at a time.”

What he took out of the bag was a bundle of amulets that looked magical at first glance.

There are many types of talismans, but this one is probably perfect for the current situation.

Exorcist (退魔符).

It is literally a talisman with the ability to cast out evil spirits and evil spirits.

This is known to have the same effect on Yokai as well.

[A piece of paper like that… .]

Red letters drawn in elegant handwriting on yellow paper react to my mana and shine.

Then, a pure white sword emerged from the scabbard.

I pierced the center of the amulet with my sword.

[Ughhh!]

Along with the sound of gripping, Maegoo’s moans of pain began to be heard.

There was something like fine smoke rising from the part the sword had pierced.

It didn’t seem like it would last that long for one piece.

Without hesitation, I removed another amulet and pierced it with my sword.

[Quaah

With two amulets, it seems that the pain has doubled.

The screams that came out were also louder.

Soon, the part where the smoke had risen caught fire.

The amulet burned without leaving ashes.

“That performance isn’t bad for a piece of paper, right?”

Assuming a friendly tone, I spoke to the sword in my hand.

I still have room in my exorcist club.

It should be fine to use five or six more in the future.

“There are still quite a few talismans left. Don’t you have something to say?”

[The original daughter was wrong. Stop it. I hate being sick.]

In the end, Maegu apologized first.

It was as if I had half-forced it.

It was a rather satisfactory achievement.

At least as long as you remember the pain you just suffered, you won’t think of cheating on me.

“Shall we go back to the contract for now?”

[Didn’t you have any intention of making a contract with the original girl?]

Maegu’s words were more cautious than before.

“If you didn’t try to clean up the past and apologized first, I wouldn’t have seen you hurt.”

[Are you saying it was a problem with the original girl’s attitude?]

“Shouldn’t we be following basic etiquette?”

[Huh, I didn’t think that the original woman’s status had fallen enough to hear such words from a young guy… .]

Maegu’s words did not carry on to the end.

It must be because the image of a bundle of amulets being removed caught my eye.

“What are you doing to that blue-eyed young guy? keep saying what you said I will continue doing what I was doing.”

[not. The mother-in-law made a mistake sorry.]

“It looks much better than before.”

[Are you thinking of making a contract with the original girl?]

“If a contract with you is helpful to me. So, first, tell me what the nine amazing abilities you mentioned are.”

[I will tell you. So why don’t you clean it up first?]

He took a few from the bundle of amulets he was holding and put them in his pocket, and put the rest back into his bag.

If I’m going to do something stupid, I’m going to use it right away.

“The ability to absorb blood that I confirmed while fighting vampires. Is that one of the nine abilities you mentioned?”

[Yes, it is the ability that the original woman calls <sucking energy>. There are eight other abilities besides that… .]

“Are there more?”

[The only ability that can be used right now is <Suppression> and one other ability.]

“Originally, you only have those two abilities, aren’t you cheating?”

[I’m not a big fox who has gone so far as to deceive you in the current situation.]

It didn’t seem like Maegu was telling lies.

Yodo’s ability that can be used right away is <Suction> and one more.

“If it’s not vampirism, but what we call suction. Are you saying it can absorb other things besides blood?”

[It is also possible to absorb the soul or formless energy itself.]

“That sounds like a blessing out of misfortune.”

Aside from the soul, intangible energy would mean mana.

It is said that it is possible to absorb magical power, internal energy, and aura.

“I couldn’t stop the vampire viscount’s sword skill?”

“Because the state is the state, the efficiency is a little low. It takes time to absorb the condensed energy… .”

It is said that it is not at a level that can be used in practice right now.

I was expecting nothing.

Of course, that’s right now, but it seems that the more power is restored, the higher the efficiency.

I know very well that expectations only lead to disappointment, so I decided to remember that I also have that ability.

“I’d like to hear an explanation about another ability that can be used other than <Absorption>.”

[<Indestructible>. It is a normal ability that does not break or bend the blade, and does not cause teeth to come out.]

It is said that only the main body, the blade, is applied to the <Bulguk>’s ability, and the handle and scabbard are separate.

With only half the blade, it was in a broken state, so I couldn’t trust it.

“Once confirmed. Then the next question.”

The explanation of the remaining seven abilities, memories of the past that remain even vaguely, and so on.

After Maegoo’s explanation and the verification that followed.

“It is already morning.”

The sun was rising.

And like a student, I had to prepare for school.

Somehow, it was only a week since I went to school.
