「Chapter 021」
“Oink! You came to see me!”
“Yeah. Let’s have a bit of girl talk today.”
Yesterday, after Kai-kun returned, he fell asleep with an indescribable expression on his face and left out early this morning.
My body finally started to move a while after Kai-kun left, but with nothing to do, I leisurely spent my time in our inn room.
And now Oink suddenly came to see me.
“Come in. I don’t have anything to offer, though.”
“It’s fine, is this bed…… could it be Bonbon’s bed?”
“Y-Yes?”
I suddenly felt a slight sense of crisis looking upon my now very feminine and beautiful friend.
Maybe I should be a bit more concerned with my own appearance?
“The same room……then……”
“Oink, what have you been doing up till now? I want to hear all about it.”
“Th-That’s right well, my current job――”
Hmm, should I ask her how to deal with Kai-kun?
I think I’m treated like family, but really――
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
“What’s wrong with this……”
I awoke from a slightly unpleasant dream this morning.
Though I couldn’t remember what happened, the dream disrupted my breathing and left my head in a fog. I left out early to get some air
Was it because of that trip into the mine, or was I just worried about what Oink had told me about my best friends?
In any case, breaking “her” had triggered my sword’s absorption ability and the effect had final appeared.
After all, even though she was no longer recognizable as a human, my system still counted it as a slain enemy.

I checked my status screen multiple times.
My long-term partner had evolved and gained a new ability.
Not only that, but two more ability slots were including in the changes to my weapon.
The number of titles had increased, and my dark magic had evolved into black magic.
What surprised me most was the new description attached to my weapon.
『Sword of Life Severing』
「The sins of the usurper have brought about a change in this magic sword. It can now rob curses, grudges, the deprived fate of the damned, and even the world’s reason. Will you one day steal all life?」
『Attack Power 666』
『Mana 666』
『Elemental Attributes: Darkness』
I was glad that the weapon’s offensive power finally went up, but the name and description were dangerous.
Above all else, the numbers were horrendous.
I needed to change those numbers with the assimilation ability as soon as possible.
After all, what my sword eat greatly effects its ability.
It was evident that it was now a cursed item.
There was also the effect of the ability I got.
『Resonance of Vengeance』
【When you defeat an enemy, your attack power will perpetually increase so long as you remain in combat. However, the longer this ability is active, the more corrupted your soul becomes.】
Scary.

It was a double-edged sword that was beneficial during protracted battles but carried major risks.
Fortunately, the disadvantages of this ability were canceled out by 『Dragon God’s Protection』. However, I still didn’t want to use it if I could help it.
Even though I already had an overwhelming amount of firepower, my weapon’s evolution only exacerbated the problem.
“Well, it’s still fun to get stronger.”
It wasn’t like my enemies would just disappear when I wielded the sword.
“But, it’s looking more and more like a weapon befitting a demon king.”
Initially, I liked the black, slender, and elegant appearance.
The now red tented black blade had a feather pattern, and the sword emitted an ominous black aura.
It was a suitable form for a cursed sword.
“Eh, it looks cool, though.”
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
“That’s why I think he doesn’t see me as a woman anymore.”
“……What a luxurious problem to have.”
“Did you say something?”
I told Oink about my troubles.
Maybe it was because I was overly affectionate with Kai-kun, but I don’t think he saw me as a woman.
He treated me more like a sister.
I thought she would have some good advice since she was a woman, but her expression was a bit worrying.
“First, I wonder if it’s because you’re too close. It’d be weird to suddenly distance yourself now, but why don’t you try acting more conscious of Bonbon in casual settings?”
“F-For example?”
“For starters, stop sharing the same room. However, frequently visit Bonbon’s room and sit a little closer to him……?”
“Isn’t that a waste of money?”
“Throw away such ideas.”
That’s difficult.
But it might be worth a try.
Kai-kun might suffer in various ways, but it might be good for him if we didn’t share the same room.
……Well, let’s look for equipment that improves my hearing.
“What are you looking at?”
“N-Nothing?! It’s not like that.”
“For now, we’ll take our time as we travel together. It’s probably going to be a tough road ahead.”
“……What does that mean?”
Suddenly, she spoke about something serious.
Was this something the two of them discussed yesterday?
I haven’t heard about it……
“I think it’d be okay no matter what happens with Bonbon. But if you don’t have someone to support you, no matter how strong you are, you’re heart can’t bear it.”
“I suppose so. I know how hard it is to be alone.”
“I see. Well, once I’m finished with my business, I’ll be there to support you. So don’t worry, I’m sure that Bonbon likes you, Rue. I can’t say why, but I’m absolutely certain about this.”
“R-R-R-R-Really?! Do you think Kai-kun likes me?!”
“At least your appearance.”
“What was that?”
Oh, he was stunned with I took off my robe for the first time.
Wasn’t that the universal “take me” sign? (T/N: One of the can’t flirt to save their life and the other one has some creator hang ups. Somebody getting pushed down before this relationship goes anywhere.)
“I’ll help, too. So please stay close to Bonbon, Rue. Even if――
Oink’s words suddenly became ominous.
Was she trying to test my resolve……
“Even if the entire world becomes his enemy.”
