Watching Yurikawa disappear in a puff of smoke, Shiyu Kasumigaoka remained calm.

She was used to this sort of thing.

She was aware of the rumors about her at school, and could only say that rumors were a frightening thing, becoming more and more outrageous as they spread.

She had simply rejected a confession, but it had been blown up to the point where she was seen as a man-eating demon.

At most—she was a bit sharp-tongued, which some people couldn't handle.

Pushing open the door, she saw the two sitting very close together, eating their lunchboxes, and felt a sense of unease.

This rooftop used to be her private space.

Now that there were two more people, she naturally felt a little uncomfortable.

However, Shiyu Kasumigaoka didn't say much, and simply found an empty space to eat her bread and milk.

After all, she wasn't domineering enough to drive others away in the name of seniority just to occupy this place.

But every time she glanced at Riku and Yotsuya Miko, eating their fill of dog food, her milk and bread suddenly lost their flavor.

"God, when will my Grace be updated?" Yotsuya Miko whispered, "I really want to see if I've improved."

"Uh…" Riku chuckled, "It won't be that fast, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Yotsuya Miko was a little disappointed: "Okay, then."

The two whispered to each other and quickly finished lunch.

Shiyu Kasumigaoka's expression flickered, and she wondered, "God? Are they playing some kind of kinky game?"

Her black silk legs shook, and her eyes gradually became playful.

She didn't expect that there were people in her school who played such elaborate games.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to go home.

"Kato, see you next week."

"Riku, see you next week," Megumi Kato said calmly, responding softly.

Riku picked up his bag and left the classroom.

Over the past few days, he had become familiar with Megumi Kato.

Of course, they had only become less estranged, and their relationship hadn't progressed any further.

"God, I've already told my mom, and I can go to Chiba tomorrow."

Passing by the neighboring class, Yotsuya Miko naturally joined Riku, drawing a resentful look from Yurikawa.

She was clearly her best friend, but Miko hadn't gone shopping with her in the past few days.

"Miko is so biased, don't tell me he's not her boyfriend!"

Yurikawa puffed out her cheeks, like an angry pufferfish.

Of course, she didn't intend to disturb them, after all, they were already high school students, and it was quite normal for Miko to have a boyfriend.

"Then I'll order the materials and tools for forging and have them delivered there," Riku asked Miko for her address and quickly placed the order.

Sakura Country wasn't big, and if he ordered now, the delivery would probably arrive in Chiba tomorrow.

Returning home, Riku became a hands-off shopkeeper, living a life of eating and waiting to die.

After dinner, he accompanied Miko to hunt evil spirits as usual.

Now that he only had one Familia member, Riku naturally cherished her very much, afraid that Miko would be in danger.

The next day.

Riku and Yotsuya Miko took the train to Chiba.

Although Chiba was close to Tokyo, it was different from the bustling city of Tokyo with its tall buildings. There were many backward small villages with low Japanese-style houses.

Yotsuya Miko's grandparents' house was in a small village. Because the two elders had passed away and there was no one to take care of it, the yard was overgrown with weeds and looked dilapidated and desolate.

Standing on a high place, Riku looked at the village. A dozen small houses were scattered in the countryside, some dilapidated and some relatively well-preserved. There were almost no people in the village, and it was as quiet as a ghost village.

Even evil spirits were less common than in the city.

Seeing this scene, Riku and Yotsuya Miko could only roll up their sleeves and clean up the yard.

After an hour, the yard finally looked decent.

5. Grace Update, Active Miko (Fifth update, asking for flowers)

After waiting for a while, the delivery arrived.

"Please sign for it, sir!"

One ton of steel, one ton of coke, and a set of forging tools, totaling 150,000 yen.

The bulk of this was naturally coal and steel.

Unlike the mainland, Sakura Country relied on imports for various materials, and the prices of steel and coal were relatively more expensive, but one ton was only a few hundred yuan more expensive than in China.

Yotsuya Miko and Riku moved the things to the yard and quickly set up a blacksmith workshop.

"So heavy!"

Yotsuya Miko began to doubt her life, "Can we really turn these iron bars into swords?"

Forging was really too difficult for a young girl.

In fact, if he hadn't become a wild god, Riku wouldn't have done such a thankless thing at all.

"Don't worry."

At this time, Riku looked relaxed, lit the fire, and began to try forging.

As the clanging sound rang out, sparks flew, and the steel bars began to deform, gradually turning into a sword-shaped blade.

Having merged with his other self in this world, and becoming a god, Riku didn't know how strong he was.

Most importantly, because of the skill manifestation, he seemed to have been forging iron for decades, and every hammer blow was just right.

Even though it was his first time forging, he wasn't clumsy at all. In a short while, the steel bar turned into a three-foot-long sword, with a cold light. With a slight shake, it cut off a tree as thick as a wrist.

"So amazing!"

Yotsuya Miko praised.

The weapon made at random was simply more powerful than the legendary divine weapon.

Riku smiled: "This was personally made by a god!"

As he spoke, he used the dry wood from the old house to make a sword hilt and scabbard and threw them to Yotsuya Miko.

"Miko, this is your weapon, give it a name."

"Let's call it Spirit Slayer," Miko drew her sword, and saw the blade was like a clear spring, reflecting her cheeks, and couldn't help but feel excited, "I'm going to try the sword in the village."

With the sword, Yotsuya Miko naturally couldn't sit still.

Riku didn't stop her, but took another steel bar and started forging again.

One sword blank…

Two sword blanks…

By the time Yotsuya Miko returned, Riku had already made nine sword blanks, waiting only to be fitted with sword guards, hilts, and scabbards to harvest nine swords.

Seeing Yotsuya Miko return, Riku put out the fire and ended the forging.

"How was it?"

"Very useful!" Yotsuya Miko was very happy, "With this sword, even those ghosts several meters tall can be beheaded."

"Don't rush, let's update the Grace first, and then I'll teach you how to wield the sword."

Yotsuya Miko's eyes lit up: "Are we updating the Grace?"

"Yes," Riku nodded, "I also want to see how much you've improved."

Yotsuya Miko couldn't wait, went into the house, and exposed her back.

Riku took out a spare steel needle, squeezed out a trace of blood and dripped it on Miko's back. Immediately, Miko's Grace data appeared.

Yotsuya Miko

Endurance: I0→I6

Dexterity: I0→I5

Agility: I0→I6

Magic: I0→I66

Magic: []

Skills: [Yin-Yang Eyes] (omitted) [Demon Slayer] (omitted)

"The ability value has increased by more than a hundred points in two days, that's really amazing!" Riku praised, copied the ability value, and handed it to Yotsuya Miko.

Yotsuya Miko took it, and her eyes fell on the magic column: "Magic has increased so much?"

"Your Yin-Yang Eyes are always on, constantly consuming magic, so naturally it grows faster," Riku explained, "At this rate of magic growth, if you awaken another magic, your attack power will soon become very strong. Come on, I'll teach you swordsmanship."

Yotsuya Miko put on her clothes and came to the open space.

"These sword techniques are summarized from the sword techniques of various countries. Although they are not extraordinary, they are enough for you now."

Riku explained, and began to explain the moves one by one.

Yotsuya Miko listened, asked questions from time to time, and her learning progress was rapid.

Having received the Grace of God and opened up the potential of her body, Yotsuya Miko's learning ability was naturally incomparable to ordinary people.

In a short while, she had learned a set of swordsmanship and went to practice on the side.

Riku watched for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and turned to fit the forged swords with hilts and scabbards.

Riku didn't finish his work until dusk, and harvested nine swords.

And Yotsuya Miko, the basic swordsmanship has become very skilled.

"We should go back, there won't be any trains if we're late," Riku wrapped the nine swords in cloth for easy carrying, and cleaned up the forging workshop with Yotsuya Miko before embarking on the road back to Tokyo.

"God, let's continue to kill ghosts tonight," Yotsuya Miko said with great interest after dinner.

Having updated her Grace, Yotsuya Miko felt the improvement of her physical fitness and was full of enthusiasm.

"Okay," Riku nodded, "Let's continue tonight."

He would naturally not refuse if his Familia wanted to improve.

In the alley.

Yotsuya Miko used her sword style and rushed towards a three-meter-tall evil spirit. With a flash of cold light, the evil spirit's arm was cut off.

Killing ordinary evil spirits was like breaking bubbles.

Killing this evil spirit, Yotsuya Miko felt the difference. The long sword seemed to have cut into a rubber tire.

If it wasn't for the sharpness of the sword in her hand, and she was still using a fruit knife, she probably wouldn't be able to cut it.

"You can see me?"

"Roar!"

The evil spirit roared, its eyes flashed fiercely. Even though one of its hands was broken, it was not afraid at all, and grabbed Yotsuya Miko with the other hand.

Yotsuya Miko dodged nimbly, changed her sword style, and slashed at the remaining arm of the evil spirit again. With a flash of cold light, the evil spirit's arm was cut off again.

Swish swish swish, with a series of swords, the evil spirit was directly cut into a human stick.

The intelligence of evil spirits is not high after all, they just rely on their tall bodies and are not good at fighting at all.

Yotsuya Miko was already used to killing ghosts, and with her skilled basic sword style, killing evil spirits was naturally easy.

With the last sword, Yotsuya Miko jumped up lightly, and with one sword, the evil spirit was cut in half and turned into ashes in a scream.
