Chapter 1: The Great Sword of the Ink Pupil
The entrance of a small village in the 16th district
"Ysu!" the girl's voice was full of surprise, staring at the people who were walking towards the entrance of the village step by step.
Dressed in flaxen leather armor, silver bracers, and ankle-hugging silver boots, the white cloak fluttering behind her, revealing the tip of her sword gleaming in the sun.
She grabbed her light blonde hair, stared at the girl in front of her with a pair of dark eyes, and moved the corners of her mouth to pull out a smile.
I don't think it's been a long time since I've laughed.
"Memi, it's you. It's been a long time. ”
"What, it's been ten years!" the girl named Meimi pursed her mouth in displeasure, but then she threw herself into the arms of the person in front of her and hugged her tightly.
Isu didn't push her away, but there was sadness in her dark eyes.
"What kind of dress are you, like those silver-eyed witches. Meimi let go of Izu, and naturally took her hand, "Where did you go in the first place, why did you suddenly disappear!" she stared at Izu's black eyes, "But it's good that you're back now......"
Isu looked away from Memi, and the shadows hit her face to create a beautiful line.
"You know what, there's another demon in this village? Her voice couldn't make out what kind of emotion it was, but she could feel the hand holding her suddenly increase in force.
"Impossible!" Memi exclaimed, "nothing happened in the village!" The strength in her hand increased again, "Isu!" Her eyes were clearly pleading, "You managed to survive in the first place." ”
"Of course I knew that if it hadn't been for the sudden appearance of the great sword, I would have died at the hands of the demons. But that's why I'm even more reluctant to let others feel that fear. Izuku spoke softly, "Even you." But ah......"
"But you're not a big sword, look at your own eyes, it's black! Your hair hasn't changed the same as it did ten years ago. Meimi seemed angry as she shook off Azu's hand, "You-" She was about to say something but glanced at the hilt of the sword behind Azu. Her expression became confused and frightened, "Are you the ...... of the Great Sword?" she stumbled back, "This can't be......"
"Meimi, why are you?" The shadow cast by the light blonde hair obscured Izu's eyes, and a little silver spread outward from the center of her pupils, and in a moment her eyes had become pure silver, and there was no longer the slightest black pupil that had been before.
And the big sword behind her back was already in her hand at some point, and it stabbed through Meimi's shoulder. Purple blood flowed down the blade, dripping onto the mud-yellow earth.
The villagers had already discovered the anomaly here, and when they saw Isu's silver eyes, they ran back to their homes and locked the doors and windows while shouting "It's a big sword, ......" and "The big sword killed ......".
"You obviously don't have silver pupils, not to mention that you clearly exude a seductive human scent!What the hell is going on!" Memi jumped backwards, ignoring the impaled arm, her face gradually twisted, and the clothes on her body were torn apart by the sudden change of her body, and in a blink of an eye, Memi had completely lost her human form, whether it was the sharp fangs in her mouth, her sharp fingers, or her blue skin.
At this time, Memi was a complete demon, and the wound on her arm was completely healed in this change.
"I didn't expect you to be the big sword who accepted the commission, I knew that I should have killed you at the first sight of you. I still want to treat you well and eat you slowly. Memi's voice wasn't as sweet and beautiful as it used to be, it was a kind of male hoarseness, "Maybe it doesn't hurt so much if you're eaten by your best friend, doesn't it?"
"That's a shame. As he spoke, the movements in his hands were not slow, and almost as soon as he spoke, he arrived in front of the demon and quickly swung the big sword in his hand. "But I felt your presence before I even reached this village, and if you wanted to do it in the first place, you're dead now!"
The great sword grazed the demon's arm, this time not simply piercing but the entire arm being broken.
"It's the first time I've seen a male demon like you, and it's the first time I've seen it turn into a human girl. ”
Between the words was the severed of the other arm.
"Ah......h "Don't ...... Don't kill me, I'm your best friend......"
But the glaring sword had pierced his neck and slashed his head.
"Do you know why I didn't kill you the first time I saw you?"
Drawing his sword, the purple blood on the sword was thrown away on the muddy yellow earth.
The demon had fallen to the ground, lifeless, and a distant head rolled to the ground.
"That's because- you don't deserve to die in Memi's body, so ......" Izu's sword was stuck behind her again.
A man walked out from behind the door tremblingly, holding a bag of black things. "It's ...... This is an agreed honorarium...... Please accept ......"
"Don't give it to me, a black monster will come over soon, just give him the money when the time comes. Izu looked at one of the many houses that had been her home, but had long since been replaced by another. The silver in her eyes faded and turned back to black pupils again.
Step by step, she walked out, just as she had come.
Meimi, I don't know what kind of pain you endured, I must have been scared at that time. The demon opens its bloody jaws in front of you, tearing your body apart and eating your internal organs with a strange force that a human body can't resist at all. It must have hurt, and no one will come to help......
Izuku thought, unconsciously squeaking his fist.
It's me who came too late, and you died at the hands of demons.
After my parents were eaten by demons ten years ago, I was taken away by the man in black. The only concern is you, my best friend, and seeing you again has become the only motivation to support my life.
But now......
The corners of her eyes moistened, and the sadness in her dark eyes fell into the sand along with her tears.
"I can't control my emotions......" Izuku wiped away her tears. Standing still, he waved his hand at the village, "Goodbye, then, Jasmine Village, and, Meimi." ”
I'm here to slay demons and have a small party with you. You have no idea how happy I was when I was chosen to be in charge of this area.
It's a pity that the goodbye ten years ago has become a farewell.
Now when we say goodbye,
You've become a demon.
And I, as a big sword.
