Chapter 254: Chapter 253 Durandal stepped forward and grabbed Hanachirusato’s hands

"Lady Durandal?"

"Shut up! The subsequent steps no longer require you. The filth has been absorbed by me. Next, I need you to cooperate with my actions."

Durandal stepped forward and grabbed Hanachirusato’s hands, injecting her own power into Hanachirusato’s body. This was a power fused with filth, which could maintain Hanachirusato’s existence while also changing Hanachirusato’s physical condition.

[Durandal, didn’t you say...]

"Shut up, now is not the time for you to speak."

Durandal interrupted Raiden Makoto irritably. Hanachirusato couldn’t see Raiden Makoto and thought that Durandal was saying these things to him, and for a while, he didn’t dare to ask anything.

"You are the only Shrine Priestess (Head Priestess) who knows about the Grand Narukami Shrine Cleansing Ritual. The Shrine Priestess (Head Priestess)s of Grand Narukami Shrine may not accept you, but I will not."

Durandal grabbed Hanachirusato’s cheeks and looked straight at his mask, and said.

"Although this filth has been dealt with, new filth will appear in the future. I don’t believe that the Shrine Priestess (Head Priestess)s of Grand Narukami Shrine can handle this problem. I have no interest in helping you deal with it every time something happens. You do it yourself!"

"Since you have accepted my gift, then from now on, you are my Shrine Priestess (Head Priestess), you are my person! Do you understand?"

"You... Your Shrine Priestess (Head Priestess)."

Listening to Durandal’s somewhat domineering declaration, Hanachirusato’s heart calmed down inexplicably. This was the first time someone had said such a thing to him.

Could he think that Durandal needed him?

"I... I’m not worth you going to such lengths, I’m not Lady Kuzuhara..."

"Don’t mention Kuzuhara, you are just you! Hanachirusato! If you say that you have a connection with Kuzuhara again, I will punish you. A punishment that you cannot accept, understand?"

As her person, Durandal could punish him however she wanted, and Hanachirusato had no reason to refuse.

Ugh! Hanachirusato was shocked by Durandal and didn’t dare to speak nonsense anymore, very worried about the punishment in her mouth.

At this time, a rhombus-shaped gem emitting a verdant light appeared from Durandal’s chest. Under Durandal’s control, it entered Hanachirusato’s body.

Originally, Hanachirusato, who was already running out of strength, clearly felt his body gradually recovering with the entry of the rhombus-shaped gem, even recovering better than his initial state.

"This is..."

"This is a life gem I made based on filth. It has the power to completely overcome filth. Once you get close to filth, that power will eliminate the filth, no matter what attacks the filth launches, it will be useless."

The gem that Durandal gave to Hanachirusato was different from those of Rosaria and White Oriole. This was a gem that she made based on the characteristics of filth, specifically for dealing with filth.

Of course, in addition to dealing with filth, it can also give Hanachirusato some abilities, which he needs to develop himself.

Hanachirusato stroked the position of his chest. He felt very unreal. He was clearly about to disappear, but Durandal gave him new power, allowing him to continue to exist in this world.

Suddenly, Durandal reached out and grabbed Hanachirusato’s mask, taking it off.

"Du... Lady Durandal, what are you doing? Please... Please don’t look at me now."

Born from filth, although he had human characteristics, his face was pitch black, like a monster. This was also the reason why he was unwilling to take off his mask.

He reached out and covered his face, not wanting Durandal to see that kind of self, to see that ugly self.

"Idiot, take a good look at yourself now."

Durandal took out a mirror from the storage space and threw it to Hanachirusato, so that he could take a good look at himself now, whether it was still the same as before.

Hanachirusato took the mirror, and after a strong psychological struggle, gritted his teeth and pointed the mirror at his face.

"This... This is..."

Not the appearance he initially presented through the reflection of the water surface, but a girl, a very cute short-haired girl.

Is this his current appearance? Unbelievable, clearly... clearly it wasn’t like this before.

"Since you are my person, you must be better than others in appearance. This is also considered a side effect of the life gem, it’s nothing big."

Nothing big? That’s not true! This is of great significance to Hanachirusato, very great! He was so surprised that he couldn’t control his tears, and they flowed out with a crash.

"Thank you, Lady Durandal. Really... Really thank you very much."

"... Hmph. I don’t need your thanks, and wipe away your tears, your current appearance is too outrageous."

Raiden Makoto looked gently at the interaction between Durandal and Hanachirusato. Originally, she thought that Durandal would watch Hanachirusato disappear, but she was not disappointed. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

A knife mouth with a bean curd heart, clearly unforgiving on the mouth, but so gentle.

She somewhat understood the reason why Durandal was able to attract Shenhe. Facing such a Durandal, who wouldn’t be captivated?
