Oh!

The taste is not bad!

Ivan was satisfied with his evaluation. Even if his attributes were not good in the future, it would be good to stay at home and cook. Furthermore, he looked pleasing to the eye.

After eating a few mouthfuls of rice, Ivan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"… Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you want to eat together?"

Jiazhou Qingguang was slightly stunned. "As men of swords and sabers, as long as Master's spiritual energy is supplied, theoretically, we don't need to eat."

Ivan frowned imperceptibly. Why did he feel like he was food for them?

After carefully examining Jiazhou Qingguang, Ivan lowered his head and looked a little nervous. "Master, is it not to your taste?"

"No, it's quite delicious."

However, just as he finished speaking, Ivan heard a rumbling sound. He smiled at Jiazhou Qingguang, who was rather embarrassed. "Let's eat together."

Fox's Assistance licked its oily paws. "Master Jiazhou, you are now different from before. You have a physical body. Eating is a way to replenish your energy."

Jiazhou Qingguang was a little stunned. He pressed his stomach, which felt uncomfortable. Oh, so this is what humans call the feeling of being hungry.

Ivan got up and took a bowl and chopsticks. He put some rice in front of him.

Jiazhou Qingguang obeyed his master's order and sat obediently opposite Ivan. His stiff movements made Ivan uncomfortable.

"… Are you afraid of me?

I won't eat you. "

Jiazhou Qingguang quickly shook his head. "Of course not."

After that, he grabbed his clothes and lowered his head again.

Fox's Assistance wagged its tail. "Master Divine Inquisitor, Master Jiazhou must be feeling uneasy for the first time. After all, the body of a human is different from that of a saber. Most men of swords and sabers will feel somewhat uncomfortable at first. Please don't worry, he will get used to it after some time."

Human … body?

Ivan looked at Dao who had his head lowered. Suddenly, he reached out his hand and pinched Dao's face.

"M-Master?"

Jiazhou Qingguang was shocked and froze in place, not daring to move. He let Ivan touch his face.

His body temperature was a few degrees lower than that of a normal person, and the cool feeling was very comfortable to touch. His skin was delicate and smooth, and it was really a touch that only humans could have. Unconsciously, Ivan pinched his face.

"It hurts."

Ivan's hand froze, and he awkwardly retracted his hand. "Well, I'm sorry. Although I'm a cleric, my equipment gives me a lot of strength. Hahaha …"

Jiazhou Qingguang didn't really understand, but he knew that his master was quite strong.

"Well …" Ivan scratched the back of his head, feeling a little embarrassed. "Anyway, I want to apologize first."

Jiazhou Qingguang looked confused. "Master, what did you do?"

"Well … How should I put it? Because Fox's Assistance told me that you're all weapons, I neglected this point."

Fu Mourning God was a spiritual monster with a human body. He could feel pain, have feelings, and shed tears. Ivan had been thinking about weapons from the beginning, and had neglected this point.

"… So, I've reflected on my attitude. I shouldn't have seen you as an object. We should be companions."

Jiazhou Qingguang was stunned. His master said that he was a companion … What should he do? He was so happy.

Ivan glanced at his cross. Although he wasn't a member of the Warrior's Guild and didn't know much about swords and sabers, no matter if it was himself or the members of the other guilds, they wouldn't treat their weapons as inanimate objects. Instead, they would treat them as companions who had gone through thick and thin together.

To them, as long as the weapon was there, the person was there. If the weapon was broken, the person would die.

So, if the cross that he didn't know where it went was left in the original world, they would think that he had died.

"Although I don't know anything about swords and sabers, please guide me in the future, Qing Guang."

"Master!"

Jiazhou Qingguang excitedly held Ivan's hand. His eyes were moist. Ivan especially liked his pure red eyes. He couldn't help but pat his head, hoping to calm his uneasiness.

Ah … He called him master. Since that was the case, how could he let his sincerity go to waste?

"Okay, let's eat together?

I'm starving to death. "

Jiazhou Qingguang smiled. It was the first time that Ivan had seen him smile so warmly. His mood improved.

Sure enough, even if he was a weapon, after being given a human body, he began to understand human emotions.

Then … Then would he learn human deceit and hypocrisy?

Ivan suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

"Master?"

"Do you remember things from the past?

I mean when you were making swords. "

Jiazhou nodded. As he served Ivan food, he explained, "I've always remembered things from when I was born. I was born in the Edo period. It's been more than 500 years since then."

"Pfff —"

Ivan spat out a mouthful of soup. "What?!

Isn't that an antique, a national heritage!! "

Jiazhou Qingguang's mouth twitched. He calmly wiped the soup dregs off his face. It seemed that his master really didn't know anything about them.

Heavens!

Ivan was very surprised. This youth who looked younger than him was actually an old monster!

Compared to his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather … Uh, he couldn't count. Anyway, he was at the ancestor's age!

… Ivan felt that it was a little strange that such a senior was so respectful to him.

"Master, we swords don't care about age. As long as we can serve our master and be used by our master, that is our mission. Although it's not easy for me to learn, I can guarantee my performance. If master has any orders, please don't hesitate. I will definitely carry out master's orders."

Ivan blankly wiped his mouth. Oh, right. They were too much like humans. He forgot that they were originally swords.

It was really … difficult to distinguish the boundaries.

"… To be honest, I'm a little troubled now."

Ivan opened his tool bar and took out a towel to help Jiazhou Qingguang wipe the places that he had dirtied. "You guys are no different from humans. I don't even know what to think of you as."

It was Ivan's first time meeting such an ambiguous existence between a weapon and a human. Moreover, after a conversation, if the youth hadn't mentioned it himself, he would have forgotten that the youth's original form was a sword.

"Master …"

Ivan covered his mouth with his index finger and smiled. "I don't really like humans because they are hypocritical, hypocritical, and full of lies and deceit. So, I don't want you to lie to me. I … don't want to guard against my own weapons."

"I won't!" Jiazhou Qingguang's gaze was resolute. "You are my master. I will never betray you!"

Ivan's smile became even gentler. "Mm, but I think you might have your own little secrets. You can choose not to tell me, but you must never lie."

Jiazhou Qingguang bowed respectfully to Ivan. "I, Jiazhou Qingguang, will never lie to master."

"Mm!

Then let's continue eating. "

It seemed that Ivan had become very talkative after the conversation. After dinner, the relationship between the two warmed up. Ivan pulled Qing Guang aside and asked him about many historical matters.

"Master, you should rest." Jiazhou Qingguang was a little helpless. He thought that his master wasn't easy to get along with, but in fact, he was talkative to the point of being a chatterbox. His choice of words … uh, was a little rough. It felt like he was ruining his delicate face.

"Mm … but I still want to hear more from you. It's very interesting."

"I can continue to talk to you tomorrow."

Ivan agreed. He carried the snoring Fox's Assistance into Jiazhou Qingguang's arms. "Let's go to sleep."

Jiazhou Qingguang followed behind Ivan. When they entered the office, they stopped at the door on the second floor.

It was Ivan's first time entering his own room. The gorgeous and beautiful door was empty. It seemed that he would have to spend money to buy something.

It's fine. I'm not short of money anyway. I'll just buy it tomorrow.

"Qing Guang, aren't you coming in?"

After a while, he realized that there was no movement behind him. He turned around and saw Qing Guang standing at the door with his head lowered.

"Without master's permission, we can't enter the interrogator's room."

"Eh … is it a barrier? Mm, it doesn't matter. Come in."

As if agreeing with Ivan's words, Jiazhou Qingguang felt that the invisible barrier in front of him disappeared. He hesitated for a moment, but still stepped into the room.

Seeing that he came in, Ivan didn't care. He opened the closet. There was only a set of bedding inside.

"Hmm … looks like we have to sleep together."

When Jiazhou Qingguang heard this, he quickly bowed and said, "Master, this is not in accordance with the rules."

Because Honmaru only had one sword, the position of valet naturally fell on him.

Seeing that his master didn't seem to understand, California Clear Light hurriedly told Ivan the duties of the valet while helping him lay out the bedding.

"Hmm … I understand. But Honmaru is very safe here. There are no other swords."

Ivan pointed at himself, then pointed at Jiazhou and the fox sleeping soundly in his arms. "It's just the three of us. Don't mind it."

Jiazhou Qingguang was still very hesitant. "I'll go back to my room to sleep."

The swords had their own rooms. Under the guidance of Fox's Assistance, they toured it. There was nothing inside. It was empty and cold.

"Aiya, what should I do? It's my first time here. I'm a little nervous and can't sleep."

Ivan, who was lying in the quilt at some point, blinked at Jiazhou Qingguang and lifted a corner of the quilt. "Maybe there will be new people in the future. You will have fewer and fewer chances in the future."

After familiarizing themselves with each other, Ivan knew that swords were actually very dependent on their master. After all, they relied on their master's spiritual power to materialize. They would subconsciously get close to people who had the same spiritual power.

In other words, the reason why Jiazhou Qingguang had been so careful before was to figure out his preferences and try to get close to him in his own way.

Jiazhou Qingguang really wanted to crawl into his master's quilt. Since Ivan had said so, he would be unreasonable if he refused. He took off his equipment, wore only a shirt and boxer briefs, and crawled into the quilt a little nervously.

The single bed was not big. It was a little crowded with two men lying in it. Naturally, skin contact was inevitable.

Ivan noticed that Jiazhou Qingguang dodged backward and thought it was a little cute. He suddenly thought of his little disciple, so he pulled him into his arms.

"In the past, you would have to sleep on the floor."

Jiazhou Qingguang blushed and lowered his head. "It's okay."

Ivan was too lazy to care about him. He was not going to let go anyway. He looked at the neatly stacked equipment and touched Jiazhou Qingguang's hair. Oh, it felt very comfortable.

"Let's go to Manya tomorrow. We have to buy a lot of things. Pajamas, bedding, toiletries. Aiya, it looks like we have to buy a lot."

Ivan did not say a word. Jiazhou Qingguang nodded silently and secretly noted it down. As he spoke, his voice became softer and softer, and then it was gone.

Jiazhou Qingguang raised his head and pursed his lips into a smile. His master had fallen asleep.

He carefully rubbed against the warm embrace.
