Chapter 45 Eula: I Miss You So Much

"Fuck! Sooner or later, that little beaker is going to kneel down naked and sing 'Conquer!'"

The next morning, Kujo Tsumugi rubbed her aching waist, cursing unyieldingly.

Unlike other simulations, Tsumugi Kujo used her real body to enter the special scene, so the physical fatigue lingered even after exiting it.

However, Kujo Tsumugi was simply venting her frustration. With her sensitive physique that would make her cry at the slightest touch, no one wanted to be pinned down by her unless it was on the bed, sofa, or floor.

After satisfying her need to vent, Kujo Tsumugi took out the Calamity Queller and Bloodstained Set she had obtained from the system rewards.

Seeing the five-star relic emitting a soft golden glow, Kujo Tsumugi felt all the resentment that had built up throughout the night vanish.

Unlike in the game, five-star items in this world were extremely rare.

One-star items were common everyday things, such as sharpened kitchen knives, swords, guns, armor, etc.

Two-star items were the best among one-star items, with significantly better quality. For example, the weapons and equipment of the Knights of Favonius, the Millelith, and the Tenryuu Commission were essentially two-star items.

Three-star items were the best weapons and equipment that could be made by skilled craftsmen without relying on special materials. However, even then, the probability of success was very low. Kujo Tsumugi had emptied the Kujo family's assets, yet only managed to equip one-third of the hunter troops with three-star weapons.

Four-star items were out of reach for ordinary people. Only large families with decades or centuries of heritage could own four-star items. Of course, the super-wealthy merchants in Liyue likely had several in their collections as well.

Starting from the four-star level, items were imbued with magical powers by the ley lines. For instance, the four-star samurai sword Muramasa that Kujo Tsumugi currently owned was imbued with the "tearing" property by the ley lines. Any wound inflicted by it would cause extensive bleeding. If not treated promptly, death from excessive blood loss was likely.

As for five-star items, these were weapons that could only be wielded by great heroes worthy of being recorded in history.

The ley lines occasionally transformed the weapons and equipment used by some heroic humans during their lifetimes into five-star relics, such as the five-star Bloodstained Set in Kujo Tsumugi's hand now.

In addition to five-star items, this world also had a special category called divine weapons.

These were weapons that only the Seven Archons and their subordinates could wield, like the Calamity Queller in Kujo Tsumugi's hand.

However, due to the limitations of the ley lines, the highest equipment quality was capped at five stars. Thus, these divine weapons were also classified as five-star relics, but they were much stronger than ordinary five-star relics.

Kujo Tsumugi gently placed her hand on the Calamity Queller.

In reality, there wasn't a game-like interface that directly displayed the special effects of a weapon, but a Vision holder could obtain information about the special effects by injecting elemental power.

Hmm... The effect is 'Protect the Master.' It can automatically attack monsters that approach. I see, so that's how it works...

Kujo Tsumugi suddenly recalled seeing this effect in immersive mode. At that time, she and Boyang were hiding in the bushes. When a ghost suddenly attacked Mi Nu, the Calamity Queller automatically struck and killed the ghost. Back then, Kujo Tsumugi had thought Mi Nu initiated the attack. It turned out to be the special effect of the Calamity Queller...

"And the Bloodstained Set... A two-piece set effect increases physical damage by 15%. Just like in the game... The four-piece set effect is... Oh?"

Kujo Tsumugi was a little surprised.

"Four-piece set effect: Bloodstained. When the armor is stained with the blood of monsters, it absorbs the blood and restores the wearer's stamina. In a way, it's simply a magical weapon!"

"No, if the opponent is a monster, this armor is a divine weapon!"

This feature of the Bloodstained Set perfectly complements Katsuragikiri Nagamasa—a flawless combination.

Kujo Tsumugi gently stroked the bloodstained glove, then sighed slightly.

"It's a pity that my current enemies are humans. I haven't killed a monster in a long time."

"And this Bloodstained Set needs some modifications, especially with a few cracks on the back. Otherwise, the wings won't be visible." In reality, Kujo Tsumugi was a Tengu, and she heavily relied on her wings both in combat and in daily life.

"I'll have to find some time to practice controlling the Calamity Queller later."

Since the simulation system had never allowed Kujo Tsumugi to enter immersion mode after obtaining the Calamity Queller, she had no memory of how to use it and needed to figure it out on her own.

Just as Kujo Tsumugi was studying the Calamity Queller, there was a knock on the door of her room.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Kujo? I am Eula from the Knights of Favonius. According to the instructions of Captain Jean, I am here to deliver 5 million Mora."

"Come in."

With a creak, the door opened, and a girl named Eula with short ice-blue hair appeared at the entrance.

Today, Eula was wearing a neat and elegant knight's outfit, which caught Kujo Tsumugi's eye as she was used to seeing Eula in all kinds of skirts.

"Hello, Miss Kujo, I am... you... you...!"

At first, Eula performed a knight's salute gracefully and elegantly, but after seeing Kujo Tsumugi, she was so shocked that she collapsed to the floor, pointing at Kujo Tsumugi with a look of disbelief.

What's wrong? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?

Kujo Tsumugi rubbed her face subconsciously. There was nothing unusual.

"Ms. Eula, what's wrong with you?"

Kujo Tsumugi tried to comfort Eula, but her words seemed to hit Eula like a bolt of lightning.

"Even the voice is exactly the same... I understand now. I must have missed you so much that I started having hallucinations and auditory delusions... So that's it... I'm probably still in the confinement room..."

"Ms. Eula, are you really okay?"

Seeing Eula mumbling nervously, Kujo Tsumugi became genuinely worried.

Could this simulation system have driven Eula crazy?

When Kujo Tsumugi approached Eula, Eula suddenly pulled her into an embrace, holding her tightly.

At that moment, their faces were only a few centimeters apart. If Kujo Tsumugi slightly pursed her lips, their lips would touch. She could even feel Eula's warm breath on her cheeks.

"Even the scent is the same..."

Eula murmured as she gently rubbed her nose against Kujo Tsumugi's cheek.

"Um..."

"Shh…"

Just as Kujo Tsumugi was about to speak, Eula pressed a finger to her lips, signaling her to stay silent.

"Even if it's just an illusion... let me indulge a little longer."

With that, Eula lifted Kujo Tsumugi onto the bed like a princess, lying beside her and hugging her closely, their foreheads and noses touching.

"I've wanted to do this with you for so long." Eula stared at Kujo Tsumugi's face and gently caressed her, "If only you were still alive... Tsumugi."

Eula's words struck Kujo Tsumugi like lightning. A sudden realization dawned on her...

Could it be that... what happened in the simulation system has become reality?!
