“…”

Kuang San widened her eyes in surprise, looking at the Zero Hour Lost Child who was full of strength again. After a long while, she stretched out her hand tremblingly and slowly reached towards the Zero Hour Lost Child.

The overflowing spiritual power came from Kuang San's fingertips, and she could feel that this was real, not her own illusion. In other words, everything that appeared before her eyes was real...

"Miss Kuang San?"

Fang Zheng was surprised to find that Kuang San actually had tears in her eyes at this moment. She stared blankly at Lingshi Lost Child, letting the tears flow down her cheeks. But her expression was not like she was crying with joy. On the contrary, it was a mixture of sadness, anger and a complex expression that could not be described in words. When she heard Fang Zheng's voice, Kuang San's body trembled suddenly, and then she stood up.

"Sorry, I'm a little tired and need to take a rest."

After saying this, Kuang San turned around and walked straight out of the living room, without even looking at Lingshi Mizi again. Fang Zheng watched the girl disappear into the shadows before shrugging his shoulders and taking Lingshi Mizi back.

"It's really interesting. It seems like this is also a person with a story."

Fang Zheng certainly noticed that Kurumi's expression was a little strange, but he was not surprised. Although Fang Zheng had confirmed that Tokisaki Kurumi was the "nightmare" who killed more than 10,000 people in the legend, after contacting her, Fang Zheng had already discovered that Tokisaki Kurumi's dangerous actions and expressions were just her appearance.

She was not the kind of person who would feel joy and happiness from the bottom of her heart because of killing other lives.

Compared to Yharnam and those crazy people in the vampire world, this girl is too normal.

And Fang Zheng still remembered what Kuang San had said to him before.

As long as I can fulfill her wish, she will give me everything except her spiritual power.

It was a pledge made by a man who had a clear goal and purpose and who would do anything to achieve it.

"It seems that the focus of this world probably falls on this elf lady."

Fang Zheng didn't think that it would be some trivial matter that could make an elf girl make such a decision to give up everything. It was obvious that she was going to do something, and it was very likely that what she was going to do was closely related to herself and even the world, so she was willing to sacrifice everything for it.

Fang Zheng didn't know what it was, but he believed that Kuang San would tell him.

And now...

"I'll go to bed too..."

Fang Zheng yawned and put the matter behind him for the time being. He then found a guest room and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Soon, a night passed.

For Fang Zheng, every night was filled with both pain and joy, but this time... the situation was obviously more unexpected.

"Esther."

"Yes, Master."

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Esther responded softly.

"…Can you explain to me why you are lying naked on top of me?"

Fang Zheng looked at Esther lying on top of him speechlessly, not knowing what to say for a moment. Although he would find Esther crawling into his quilt every morning, Fang Zheng had no way to deal with it. Esther was not like Shiono, she was Fang Zheng's contracted spirit, usually either in the sword emblem on the back of Fang Zheng's hand, or accompanying Fang Zheng in a physical form.

Therefore, Fang Zheng couldn't put Esther in another room to rest like he did with Yoshino, because Esther would always hide in the emblem and pretend to be dead at this time, but when Fang Zheng fell asleep, she would come out in the name of "sleeping with him". Fang Zheng had no choice but to let her do whatever she wanted.

But this time... Esther's performance was even more intense than before.

After all, when you open your eyes and see a young girl staring at you right in front of you, it is enough to scare a living person to death.

“…”

But this time, Esther did not answer. She pressed her hands hard on Fang Zheng's chest, pinning him down. Although Esther's face was still expressionless, Fang Zheng could tell from her slightly puffed cheeks and angry eyes that this little girl was angry.

What had he done to displease Esther?

"Master, Esther is your contracted spirit."

Just when Fang Zheng was about to recall whether he had neglected Esther, Esther suddenly spoke.

"Ester is willing to do anything for you, but you haven't completed the oath ceremony with Esther yet."

"Ah... sorry."

Fang Zheng then remembered that Esther had indeed told him before that there was a vow ceremony to be completed between the contracted elf and the master, but a series of events happened after that, and Fang Zheng's mind was full of burning firewood and controlling the abyss of his body, so he put the matter behind him for the time being.

And after coming to this world...well, Fang Zheng admitted that he had indeed forgotten about this matter.

"But you kissed Yoshino, and then you kissed that woman."

Esther's voice was still calm, but Fang Zheng could feel her hands exerting some strength. If this continued, Fang Zheng would not be surprised even if the elf pulled out a knife from behind. But why did Esther hesitate to kiss him? Could it be that...wait, that's not possible...

"The Kiss of Vow."

Esther stared at Fang Zheng and spoke word by word.

"This is the formal method of making a spirit contract. Master, you have not yet made this sacred oath with me. This is my right because I am the master's contracted spirit."

As he spoke, Esther moved closer to Fang Zheng again and stared at him intently.

And Fang Zheng could also read an unmistakable message from Esther's eyes.

Obviously I got there first...

That was indeed the case. Fang Zheng had signed a contract with Esther first, and then met Yoshino and Kuang San. But now, he had kissed Yoshino and Kuang San. On the contrary, Esther had not kissed him yet... This was natural. Fang Zheng was not a kissing demon. He would go up to a girl and kiss her. Yoshino was helpless, and Kuang San was excited and couldn't control herself...

"So Master, what you mean is that I have no charm?"

"Wait, I didn't say anything just now."

"But I saw in your eyes, 'This little girl is skinny and unattractive, I'm not interested in kissing her at all.'"

"No, no, no, I really don't have such an idea."

Hearing his contracted elf's almost self-abuse statement, Fang Zheng quickly reached out his hand, pressed it on Esther's shoulder, and stared at her.

"Listen carefully, Esther, flat breasts are a rare resource!"

"……Yeah?"

"That's right, and I have to tell you that I'm actually a lolita complex. Whenever I see those smooth bodies with only slight curves, my black flame dragon will go berserk, you know? Elementary school students are so great, I can't control myself at all! But this kind of thing is a crime in the world, and if you do it without someone's consent, you will be sent to jail! So although I really want to kiss you, I absolutely cannot do it if you don't agree!"

In fact, even if Esther agreed, Fang Zheng would not do anything excessive to her. At most, he would just have a brief kiss with her like he did with Yoshino. In Fang Zheng's opinion, it was still too early for Esther to have an "adult kiss" like Kurumi had.

"So……"

Hearing this, Esther stood up and looked at Fang Zheng.

"Master, please show me your awareness. Let's kiss each other here."

…Looking at the girl in front of him, Fang Zheng took a deep breath and then stood up.

I dug a hole myself, I won't fill it...

While thinking, Fang Zheng glanced at the bedroom door not far away.

According to the setting, shouldn't someone come in and disturb us at this time?

Forget it, if you don't want to use routines, then don't use routines...

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng also sighed, then he lowered his head, closed his eyes, and kissed Esther's lips.

The next moment, Fang Zheng felt a force flowing through his body.
