Y/N settled in her new home, which was surprisingly spacious and had a personal hot spring. With the healing properties of the water and her weak body, it is no wonder why Ubuyashiki gave her this role. Though she wanted to dip herself in the warm soothing waters to end the day, her name was called from outside.

"Y/N!"

She rushes to open her door as the voice sounded distressed.

"Y-Yes, Kotetsu?"

"T-There's-"

"Message for L/N Y/N! Message for L/N Y-"

She roughly grabs her crow, frustrated at how loud it can be. Her hands open the letter, reading the content. It notified her that there was a demon lurking quite near to the Swordsmith village and that she has to take action as fast as possible. Suddenly, a loud crashing sound was heard. She rushes and comes face to face with a hideous demon that trashed objects around.

This is bad. My blade is still with Kanamori-san.

Just across the street was Haganezuka's place. He rushed out after hearing the sound, making immediate eye contact with her.

"Haganezuka! Throw me a sword!"

He did not want to but it was necessary. His hands grab his newly made blade, throwing into the air for her to catch. The blade turns into a gradient, from purple to yellow, and she holds a stance in front of the demon.

"Oh~ I'd love to lick the blood of such a lovely young woman!"

The demon's hand forcefully strikes towards her but was blocked from the sword. Haganezuka's heart nearly dropped after spotting a slight crack. The two clashed limbs and weapons, her light body swiftly flying from roof to roof. Y/N jumps down towards the demon, trying to land a cut in the demon's neck but this demon was too fast. Her knees make contact with the ground and a being was felt behind her. The demon had rotting skin and it licked it's chapped lips. Her reaction saved her from having a crushed skull, body flying backward as the demon locks eyes with her.

"Astro breathing, Second form: Supernova blast!"

Her body moved in the air at ease, seeing things move slowly. The blade she had in her hands slash across the demon's neck, emitting bright light when in contact. Y/N's body lands softly onto the ground, hearing the struggling noises from the demon. Out of a sudden, her body was hit from her waist with a bruising force, sending her flying into a rock. She spits out blood, nearly losing consciousness.

I definitely cut its head!

She then saw its head moving around its body as if swimming through water.

"I'm not that easy to kill. I have to admit. Your blade is so beautiful, I remember seeing a similar one in the hands of one of my victims."

Her eyes widened, getting up quickly before striking again. To no avail, its body kept regenerating. The demon was laughing hysterically at how weak she looked but it did not understand that it was only due to her naturally weak body. Y/N licked her lips, tasting the metallic of blood.

Urgh... I knew it. From walking here since morning, I've used up most of my energy.

She shuts her eyes and takes a deep breath.

"Astro breathing, Seventh form: Planetary striking wave!"

It seemed as if her blade disappeared but it sliced the demon's body into many chunks before flying back into her hands. More blood was coughed, her eyes starting to water from the pain. Yet again, the head moved. It was able to grow big and small. The slices she made barely touched its neck and she was nearly her limit. Out of the blue, a huge heavy rock gets thrown at the demon, crushing it under. Her head whips towards the direction and stares at a certain hot-headed man.

"Y/N, ARE YOU WEAK, HUH?! SLICE ITS HEAD OFF SO I CAN GO BACK TO WORK!"

She drags her feet, hand clenching on her chest. The demon looked terrified when she lifted the blade, slicing it down. Its head decapitated from the body, slowly disintegrating. Haganezuka rushes to her, grabbing the sword of her hand. He collapses on his knees, looking at the once beautiful blade full of scratches and cracks.

"My beautiful sword! How dare y-"

Her body thumped onto the ground as blood spewed out of her mouth. She trembled in pain, hand clenching harder onto her shirt as her body curled up into a ball. From behind, Kanamori shouts,

"Get her into the hot spring immediately!"

Haganezuka mumbles but picks her fragile body up at ease. At a public hot spring, he was about to dump the annoying woman in before the chief whacked him hard.

"You can't just dump her in with her clothes on!"

"And you're expecting me, a man of class, to strip this damn woman?!"

Y/N's body laid on the cold floor as the swordsmiths argued on who to remove her clothing. Her hoarse cough stopped their bickering, her once bright eyes growing dull. Haganezuka, frustrated, heads to her and rips her clothing just to leave her in her undergarments to save her some decency. He lifts her body and dumps her into the hot spring. Kanamori's eyes widened at his rough action,

"Haganezuka! What if you made her condition worse?!"

"Look at her. She's slowly getting back to her usual state."

He was right. Her body no longer looked cold and her cheeks were starting to turn pink. Y/N flutters her eyes open to meet all 5 of the swordsmiths looking at her. Kotetsu cries,

"Y/N! Are you all alright?!"

She reached over to pat his head,

"Yes. Thank you so much. Who brought me here?"

Everyone pointed at the guy who stood in the background with his arms crossed.

"Thanks, Haganezuka. I owe you."

"You owe me a month's worth of Dango. Got it?"

"Yeah, yeah."

The 4 males kept staring at her, Haganezuka looking away, which got her a bit uncomfortable. She looked down at herself and her face flushed red. Y/N's arms went to cover herself, the fabric that covered her skin was turning transparent.

"YOU PERVERTS! STRIPPING ME AND NOW STARING AT ME?! GET OUT!!!"

All the men ran away, giggling at your embarrassing state. Before all of them left the scene, Kotetsu shouts,

"HAGANEZUKA WAS THE ONE THAT STRIPPED YOU!"
