"......"
Kurumi’s eyes widened in surprise as she stared at the Zero Hour Resurgence, now brimming with energy before her. It took a while before she shakily reached out her hand, slowly extending it towards the Zero Hour Resurgence.
The overflowing spiritual power ca from Kurumi’s fingertips, and she could feel it was real, not an illusion. This ant everything appearing before her was real......
"Miss Kurumi?"
Fang Zheng was surprised to see that tears were streaming from Kurumi’s eyes as she blankly stared at the Zero Hour Resurgence, letting the tears flow down her cheeks. But her expression was not one of overwhelming joy; rather, it was a complex mix of sadness, anger, and emotions that couldn’t be described with words or language. Hearing Fang Zheng’s voice, Kurumi’s body jolted, and then she stood up.
"Sorry, I’m a bit tired and need to rest."
After saying this, Kurumi turned around and walked out of the living room, not even glancing back at the Zero Hour Resurgence. Fang Zheng watched as the girl’s figure vanished into the shadows, then he shrugged his shoulders and retracted the Zero Hour Resurgence.
"Quite interesting, it seems she too has a story."
Fang Zheng had indeed noticed that Kurumi’s expression was unusual, but he was not surprised. Although Fang Zheng had confird that Tokisaki Kurumi was the "Nightmare" who had allegedly killed over ten thousand people, after interacting with her, he realized that Tokisaki Kurumi’s dangerous actions and expressions were just a facade.
She was definitely not the type who derived pleasure and joy from deep within after taking another life.
Compared to Anan and the Vampire realm’s lunatics, this girl was far too normal.
Moreover, Fang Zheng still rembered what Kurumi had previously told him.
As long as he could fulfill her wishes, she would devote everything to him, aside from her spiritual power.
That was a declaration made by soone with a clear goal and purpose, who would do anything for it.
"It seems the focus of this world might just be on this Elf Maiden."
Fang Zheng didn’t think that anything trivial could make an Elf Maiden decide to sacrifice everything. Clearly, she intended to do sothing significant that was likely connected to herself and possibly even this world, so she was willing to sacrifice everything for it.
Fang Zheng didn’t know what it was, but he believed that Kurumi would tell him.
And now......
"I should go to sleep as well......"
Yawning, Fang Zheng montarily pushed aside that matter, found a guest room, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Quickly, a night passed.
For Fang Zheng, each night was painful yet joyful, but this ti... it was obviously more surprising.
"Ester."
"Yes, Master."
Hearing Fang Zheng’s inquiry, Ester responded softly.
"...... Can you explain why you are lying naked on top of ?"
Fang Zheng, at a loss for words, looked at Ester lying atop him, not knowing what to say. Although he would find Ester sneaking under his blanket every morning, he had no way of stopping it. Unlike Yoshino, Ester was Fang Zheng’s Pact Spirit who would either reside in the Sword Emblem on his hand or accompany him physically.
So Fang Zheng couldn’t treat Ester like Yoshino and send her to another room to rest because Ester would always hide in the emblem, pretending to be dead at such tis. Once Fang Zheng fell asleep, she would sneak out under the guise of "serving by his bed." He had no choice but to let her be.
But this ti...... Ester’s behavior was even more intense than before.
After all, when you open your eyes and see a girl staring intently right at you, it could scare the life out of soone.
"......"
But this ti, Ester did not respond; her hands pressed forcefully against Fang Zheng’s chest, pinning him to the bed. Although Ester’s face was still expressionless, from her slightly puffed cheeks and slightly angry eyes, Fang Zheng could tell that the young girl was upset.
What had he done to upset Ester?
"Master, Ester is your Pact Spirit."
Just as Fang Zheng was about to recall whether he had ever neglected Ester, Ester suddenly spoke.
"Ester is willing to do anything for you, but you still haven’t completed the Oath Ceremony with Ester."
"Ah... sorry."
Only then did Fang Zheng rember that Ester had indeed ntioned before that Pact Spirits and their masters needed to complete a Kiss of Oath ceremony. However, after that, a series of events had unfolded, and Fang Zheng got preoccupied with gathering firewood and controlling the Abyss within himself, so this matter had been temporarily forgotten.
And after coming to this world... Well, Fang Zheng admitted, he indeed had forgotten about this matter.
"But, you kissed Yoshino and then you kissed that woman."
Ester’s voice remained calm, but Fang Zheng could feel her hands tensing a bit more, which made him think she wouldn’t be surprised if the Little Fairy pulled out a knife from behind. But why was Ester so fixated on kisses? Could it be... wait, no way...
"Kiss of Oath."
Ester stared at Fang Zheng, and said word by word.
"This is the official thod to establish an Elf contract, master, and you still haven’t engaged in this sacred vow with . It is my right because I am your Pact Spirit."
While saying this, Ester once again drew closer to Fang Zheng, staring at him intently.
And Fang Zheng read a clear ssage from Ester’s eyes:
It was supposed to be first...
This made sense, indeed. Originally, Fang Zheng had established a contract with Ester first and then t Yoshino and Kurumi. But now, he had already kissed both Yoshino and Kurumi, and Ester, up to this point, had still not kissed him... Well, that was also to be expected. Fang Zheng wasn’t the kissing fiend, randomly stealing kisses from girls. The kiss with Yoshino was unavoidable, while with Kurumi, it was a mont of excitent that he hadn’t restrained...
"So, master, are you saying that I have no charm?"
"Wait, I didn’t say anything just now, did I?"
"But I read ’this little girl has no curves and no charm, I’m not interested in kissing her’ in your eyes, master."
"No, no, no, I really didn’t think that."
Upon hearing this almost self-deprecating statent from his Pact Spirit, Fang Zheng quickly extended his hand, placing it on Ester’s shoulder, gazing at her.
"Listen Ester, flat chests are a rare resource!"
"...Really?"
"Absolutely, and I have to tell you, actually, I have a thing for lolis. Every ti I see those barely curved, smooth bodies, my Black Fla Dragon goes wild, you know? Elentary school girls are the best. I just can’t help myself! But you know, such acts are criminal in this world if done without consent, and could send to jail! So while I would really like to kiss you, I absolutely cannot do it without your consent!"
Indeed, even if Ester gave her consent, Fang Zheng would not do anything inappropriate to her; at most, it would be a light peck like the one with Yoshino. A more intense "adult kiss" like Kurumi’s would be too much for Ester at this point, in Fang Zheng’s view.
"Then..."
Upon hearing this, Ester stood up, gazing at Fang Zheng.
"Please, master, show your resolve, and let’s have the Kiss of Oath right here."
...Seeing the girl in front of him, Fang Zheng took a deep breath and then stood up.
If one dug the hole, it must be filled...
Thinking this, Fang Zheng glanced at the bedroom door not far away.
Shouldn’t soone be predicted to walk in and interrupt at this point?
Forget it, if it’s straightforward, it’s straightforward...
With that thought, Fang Zheng sighed and then bent down, closed his eyes, and kissed Ester’s lips.
The next mont, Fang Zheng felt a surge of power rushing throughout his body.
