You successfully mastered the Protector Blade "Lie," becoming one of the six active Blade Wielders, and renamed it the Holy Lance of the End.
As a new member, after you left the Chamber of Secrets, the higher-ups in Izumo decided to place you on a team with Acheron, setting you on the path of slaying evil gods. For your convenience, Acheron also arranged for you to live in the apartment next to hers, making you neighbors. With her help, you quickly packed your things and moved into your new home.
News of you passing the trial and becoming a Blade Wielder spread back to the training grounds. Your mentor and fellow students were overjoyed, pooling their money to throw a celebratory banquet in your honor.
After bidding farewell to your old life, you were about to embark on your new journey when you heard the faint cries of a young woman coming from a nearby alley. You stepped inside and saw four grotesque demons with green faces and bared fangs surrounding a petite girl. The girl, her spiritual energy depleted, was teetering on the verge of collapse.
Without a moment's hesitation, you drew your sword and saved her.
The girl introduced herself as Asagami Fuuka, a novice onmyoji. She had been on her way to practice her craft when she was ambushed by the four demons. With her weak spiritual power and clumsy exorcism skills, she was quickly overwhelmed and nearly killed before you intervened.
The dark-haired girl was incredibly grateful and asked for your name and address, promising to visit later to thank you properly. You gave her your name but declined her request to visit, explaining your official position and entrusting the newly arrived security team to see her home safely.
Now, you stood at the scene, looking down at the four dead demons with a solemn expression. The moment you had slain them, you felt a vague, sinister aura rise up and enter your body. The phrase, "To bring together ten thousand true words, to cut out a dream with a single sword," echoed in your mind. You had a sudden realization that this incident was somehow connected to that very principle.
Just then, Acheron, having heard the news, rushed to the scene. The security team had already cordoned off the area, keeping the curious crowd at bay. Only you and Acheron remained.
"Miss Raiden," you asked, your eyes fixed on the corpses, "these demons... were they once human?"
The bodies were grotesque. Their skin was a dark, gnarled brown, their faces twisted into demonic snarls with green skin and sharp fangs. Pitch-black horns protruded from their heads. While they still retained a vaguely human shape, their massive frames had been shattered by the intense light of your attack.
"Mm," Acheron nodded, her own expression complicated and grave as she looked down at the bodies. "Besides the Protector Blades, there are many 'Cursed Items' also forged from divine essence. These weapons are sharp and possess magical abilities, though perhaps not on the level of a Protector Blade. However, the requirements to wield them are much higher."
"Using these items also risks divine contamination," she explained. "The risk is normally low, but if a wielder's willpower or body is weak, or if they are injured, the chance of contamination increases dramatically. And once contaminated, one's mind and body become twisted, their consciousness is lost, and they become a monster, much like an evil god."
"These four likely suffered such a fate."
[You look at the demon corpses on the ground, your expression extremely heavy.]
[You sense the distorted, malevolent will that has entered your body, and your expression becomes strange. In your eyes, the four seemingly dead demons are still wreathed in this evil energy.]
[Is this just some random occurrence? You look at the corpses, and a flicker of understanding comes to you.]
[Through the special network connecting Blade Wielders, information about the incident spreads quickly. The truth is uncovered.]
[Four famous swords, their wielders having paid the ultimate price, were forged with the aid of a certain evil god. They attempted a 'heart-cutting' ritual but overlooked the risks of the swords being in an incomplete state. As a result, they absorbed the full power of a divine remnant and were transformed into monsters.]
[As a result of this incident, the higher-ups in Izumo assign a new member to your and Acheron's team.]
[Her name is Mobius, a girl with beautiful green hair tied in twintails. The scabbard is her sword; to unleash her full power is to risk her life—she is a true assault specialist. An artist with a unique understanding of swordsmanship, her method of communication with you is... direct.]
[Your small team's primary duty is to deal with manifestations of malevolent will and respond to powerful evil gods. During city-wide emergencies, you are dispatched as a rapid-response unit to quell the chaos.]
[In one year, with the help of your teammates, you adapt to this new life. Through great effort, you repel an evil god who descended from Takamagahara and put an end to a series of devastating urban incidents. By fighting alongside Acheron and Mobius, your skills improve at a rapid pace.]
[You often venture into the wilderness to hunt down wielders of rogue Cursed Items, and your name becomes well-known among the other Protector Blade holders. They come to respect your achievements and acknowledge your strength.]
[With every new evil god you slay, you feel a 'relic' from your vanquished foe enter your body. Even without knowing the original owner, you can tell that these items resonate with your soul's will.]
[Your will has become more determined, and your power has grown stronger. You have ignited a deeper level of your Holy Lance's power—to wield this sword is to walk into the land of death with no hesitation. The moment it is drawn, its full power responds, unleashing a divine brilliance that surpasses what your physical body should be able to bear.]
(One Year Later)
In a year's time, your relationship with Acheron and Mobius has grown much closer. Once you all became familiar with each other, they no longer deliberately avoided the topic of your unique constitution. In fact, when summer arrived, you became the most popular person on the team.
[Also drawn to you is Asagami Fuuka.]
[The dark-haired girl you saved from the brink of despair has, over the past year, orchestrated countless 'coincidences' to get close to you. She has used every method imaginable, from borrowing your phone just to get your number to having classmates snap photos of you two in feigned intimate poses, all in an attempt to create opportunities to be near you.]
[You have a splitting headache from it all. You've hinted at your extreme-yin constitution to her many times, trying to gently reject her advances, but she pretends not to understand. Her efforts have only grown more intense.]
[You realize that letting this continue will only hurt her in the end. You decide that tomorrow, you will turn her down, clearly and definitively.]
[But on this day, Asagami Fuuka suddenly appears at your door. And there, in front of both Acheron and Mobius, she confesses her feelings for you.]
