━Clang.

A sudden sound came from the door behind Tirpione, who was clinging to me.

“Ken, will you be my master?”

She looked up at me with familiar eyes, the same gaze I had seen often before.

Those eyes reminded me of Laphne’s when she saw me as prey.

The eyes of someone filled with desire and greed.

“Master... means...”

“It refers to the owner of the magic sword Tirpione.”

Of course, that’s what it meant.

I placed my hand on her shoulder to gently push her away and looked her in the eyes.

“Uh, Tirpione, you may not know this, but if you come with me, we’ll be attacked by monsters… That’s just how magic swords work.”

If I left this house while owning Tirpione, a horde of monsters would swarm in.

How I knew this was unclear, but I played it off as the characteristic of magic swords.@@novelbin@@

What mattered was that my life was at risk.

No matter how strong I had become through my diet, facing a horde of monsters would surely be fatal.

Yet, to my surprise, Tirpione chuckled softly.

“How wise of you.”

Then, she looked up at me with a gaze full of admiration.

It felt as if she were a fanatic lost in a cult.

I couldn't comprehend how she could evaluate me this highly in such a short time.

“But it’s alright, Ken. If you don’t leave, there’s no danger.”

“Pardon? What do you mean…?”

“All you have to do is stay with me.”

Her lips curled into a subtle smile.

That greedy smile seemed to gaze at me intently.

No way…

I pushed her aside and rushed towards the door in a panic.
