"Can you tell me why I should accept you?"
Hoshimi Aya tried to get information out of it.
"Heh! Why? Why so many 'whys'?
We should be one, we should be inseparable!
And you! Why won't you accept me!"
"We would be almost invincible together!"
"As long as you accept me, you can have endless power!"
"Instead of being like this! Indecisive!"
"As long as we have power, no one can bully us!"
"As long as we have power, no one can make us sad!"
"As long as we have power, we don't have to act according to others' whims!"
"As long as we have power, we can do whatever we want!"
"Come on! Hoshimi!"
"Draw your sword! Let's stand at the pinnacle of the world together!"
After speaking, the Nine-Tailed Fox began to roar madly at the sky, and at the same time, black Fox Fire started to appear on Hoshimi Aya's body.
"Don't even think about it, I can't draw the sword!"
"Just give up!"
With that, Hoshimi Aya tried her best to suppress her hand from drawing the sword.
The Nine-Tailed Fox stopped roaring, baring its fangs and glaring at Hoshimi Aya.

Inside the room
Ling and Zhe borrowed an iron hook from Uncle Goen next door and hooked it onto Hoshimi Aya's hand that was holding the demonic sword, preparing to drag it out.
"Brother, will doing this hurt Aya?!"
Ling stood by and asked Zhe.
"Sister, we can't worry about that now. Let's separate Aya from the demonic sword first!"
As Zhe prepared to forcefully separate Hoshimi Aya's hand from the demonic sword, the black flames on the bed suddenly became more vigorous, even burning along the iron metal.
Seeing this, Zhe quickly threw away the object in his hand.
"It seems metal can also burn!"
"What should we do now?"
Zhe said with a headache, looking at the burning iron hook.
They truly had no options now.
"...Eous, we can only rely on you now!"
With that, Ling looked at Eous not far away, then carried Eous to the bedside.
"Eous, we're counting on you!"
"Just take the demonic sword from Aya's hand."
After speaking, Ling patted Eous's small bottom.
"Mmm-hmm-hmm! Leave it to me!"
"Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm! I will definitely get the sword!"
With that, Eous was about to get on the bed to grab the sword, but Zhe stopped him.
"Sister, The Hollow's commission still needs Eous. Let 06 do it."
"Or Number 18 can also do it."
Zhe pondered.
Given their current conditions, repairing a Bangboo would definitely take some time to save up for.
And Eous still needed to go to The Hollow; it wouldn't be good if he broke.
"You're right, Eous, quickly go downstairs and call up Number 06."
"Time is tight, never mind, I'll go myself."
With that, Ling ran downstairs and then carried Number 06 up.
"Number 06, don't worry."
"If you get burned, we will definitely find a way to fix you!"
"Aya is in your hands!"
With that, Ling patted 06's small bottom.
Just as 06 was about to get on the bed, Zhe stopped him again.
"Sister, wait, has the fire gotten smaller?"
With that, Zhe pointed at the fire on the bed, which had clearly shrunk by a circle.
"It really has!"
"06, wait a bit longer."
"Perhaps there's still a turn for the better."
With that, Ling stared intently at Hoshimi Aya on the bed, and Zhe, 06, and Eous did the same.
Gradually, the black Fox Fire on the bed receded until it disappeared completely.
And Hoshimi Aya on the bed let out a murmur and woke up.
"Hmm..."
"What happened?"
Hoshimi Aya sat up and immediately noticed Ling, Zhe, 06, and Eous staring at her, asking in confusion, somewhat puzzled why they were looking at her like that.
Suddenly, Hoshimi Aya noticed that the quilt and pillow on the bed were burned beyond recognition by something.
Aside from herself, there was nothing intact on the bed.
"Aya, how can you still ask 'what happened'?!"
"Do you know what just happened?!"
"Didn't I already tell you not to sleep with the sword!"
Ling reprimanded Hoshimi Aya, at the same time throwing the demonic sword, still in Hoshimi Aya's arms, to Zhe.
Then she recounted what had just happened to Hoshimi Aya.
Hoshimi Aya listened to Ling's words and lowered her head in self-reproach, no longer daring to meet Ling's gaze.
She was just sad because Ling and Zhe had deceived her earlier, so she thought of comforting herself by holding the sword, never expecting to cause such a big disaster.
