Anime Crossover: I, the Shadow King, slaughter my way through DanMachi!

Ryu shook her head: "I believe in Mr. Yingping, but..."

She hesitated, looking at the bottles of precious medicine. "These are so valuable, don't you use them yourself?"

Ying Ping waved his hand and said with a relaxed smile, "I still have stock of things like this, so don't worry, please accept it."

"Consider it a thank you for helping me out at the tavern last time, and for buying me water earlier..."

Upon hearing this, Liu's elven ears twitched slightly.

She looked down at the medicine, and finally sighed softly, "Since you've put it this way, and I happen to need it, then I'll gladly accept your offer."

She carefully placed the bottles of medicine into her small handbag.

Seeing that the other party accepted it, Yingping finally showed a satisfied smile.

The rain continued, and the two sat on the haystack, starting to chat idly.

"Speaking of which, what did Miss Ryu do before becoming a shop assistant? Was she an adventurer too?"

Yingping pretended not to know and asked.

Ryu's gaze became slightly unfocused: "Yes... I used to be a terrible elf."

Her voice carried a hint of self-mockery, "It wasn't until I met Hill and everyone else at the tavern that my life gained some light..."

Yingping didn't press for details, but simply listened quietly to Liu's speech.

As they chatted, Liu couldn't help but relax, and her eyelids began to feel heavy.

She tried her best to stay awake, but the exhaustion from the past few days made her yawn.

"Excuse me, Mr. Yingping... I might need to take a nap first..."

She said somewhat shyly.

Yingping nodded: "It is indeed getting late. You should get some rest. Do you need me to leave for a moment?"

"It's okay, it's raining outside, you shouldn't go out."

Ryu gently shook her head, then curled up on the haystack and closed her eyes.

"Alright, then I'll stay here."

Sweet dreams, Miss Ryu.

Yingping gazed at her peaceful and beautiful sleeping face, then leaned against the door to rest, while also observing the situation outside.

"....Thanks."

Liu turned her back to Yingping, turned over, and whispered something with a slightly flushed face.

Chapter 49 Sacred Oath, the Moon Goddess Becomes Her Attendant! [Requesting Flowers]

Early the next morning.

The morning sun pierced through the clouds and shone on the damp grass.

All the adventurers in the camp were ready to go and gathered in the central open space.

Artemis stood on a protruding rock, her high blue ponytail swaying gently in the morning breeze.

She looked around at the crowd and called out in a clear and firm voice, "Brave adventurers, thank you for answering my call and coming here!"

"Because time is of the essence, and you already know the details, there's no need for further pleasantries."

"Today, we will split into two groups—"

She pointed to the vast sea of ​​trees shrouded in dark red in the distance:

"Hermes Familia and all other Familias, please be responsible for attracting the outer Entresian larvae and ensuring your own safety. As for the Hestia Familia..."

Her gaze fell on Ying Ping, and she said loudly, "You will come with me to delve into the ruins and face the most powerful enemy."

A commotion arose in the crowd.

Someone asked, "Why is it that only the Hestia Familia can enter the ruins? Why can't we?"

Artemis explained, "Considering the difference in combat strength, and the fact that only I can open the gate to the ruins, the Hestia Familia is the most suitable group to enter and access the ruins..."

She paused, then continued, "As for Mr. Yingping, the leader of the Hestia Familia, he is also the only one who can wield the divine weapon, the Orion Spear."

After hearing this, everyone had no objections to Artemis's arrangement.

Yingping stood at the very back of the line.

He distributed the Book of Experience to Elena, Chizuka, Takina, and Kokkoro.

"This is...?"

Irene looked at the golden book in her hand with a puzzled expression.

"Open it and you'll instantly level up."

Yingping explained with a smile.

"Om~"

As the four books were opened at the same time, a dazzling golden light enveloped the girls.

"Unbelievable, power is surging forth...!"

Chizuka looked at her hands in surprise.

Takina gripped her longbow tightly, her eyes gleaming with excitement: "I feel like I could beat ten of my past selves right now..."

Kokkoro was overjoyed: "Master, I have learned new barrier magic and resurrection magic!"

Yingping smiled and patted her head: "Well, congratulations. From now on, Coco will be able to help everyone even more."

Just then, Yingping noticed that Artemis had finished her pre-battle mobilization.

He strode toward the goddess and said, "Artemis, come here for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Yingping briefly explained the matter of the "Sacred Oath".

I thought they would consider it, or that I would be rejected, but I didn't expect—

"I am willing."

Artemis answered without hesitation, her eyes shining with determination: "Let's make the pact now."

Ying Ping paused for a moment, then said, "Wait, are you sure? This means you..."

“I know what this means.”

Artemis interrupted him, "But I have already made up my mind."

The two found a secluded corner, and Yingping took out the [Sacred Oath] that was radiating golden light.

"What do you need me to do now?"

Artemis asked.

"Take it, and then..."

Before Ying Ping could finish speaking, Artemis had already grabbed the contract crystal and held his hand at the same time.

"Is this okay?"

Artemis smiled.

The crystal suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, enveloping the two of them.

[The sacred oath is being concluded...]

[Subject of Detection: Artemis]

Trust Level: 100%

[Favorability: 100%]

[Contract established!]

As the light faded, a faint golden crescent mark appeared on Artemis's forehead before disappearing.

[Attendant: Artemis]

[Level: Sealed (Current LV1)]

【Traits: Divinity Preservation, Arcana Mastery, Hunting Proficiency】

[Gained new skills: Moon Goddess's Arrow, Moonlight Barrier, Moon Slash]

Artemis felt the new power flowing through her body, her eyes sparkling with surprise: "Orion, my body now has a physical form, I can survive!"

"It actually...it succeeded?"

"Has a goddess truly become my servant?"

Yingping opened his mouth, his expression one of disbelief.

Artemis tilted her head, her high blue ponytail swaying gently in the wind, and asked happily, "What's wrong? You seem more surprised than I am."

"yes..."

Yingping took a deep breath: "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, after all, you're a genuine goddess..."

"So what if I'm a goddess? No matter what, I'm your servant now."

Artemis interrupted him with a smile, saying gently, "That's wonderful, Orion. From now on, I can stay by your side forever."

Yingping snapped out of his daze, looked at Artemis, who had a blissful expression on her face, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips: "Really? I'm happy too."

But then his expression turned serious: "However, Artemis, it's best to keep this a secret for now."

"Because I really can't be sure how other gods would react if a goddess became a human's servant."

"I am still too weak. To put it bluntly, I am just a toy in the eyes of you gods."

"You gods have sealed your divine power so that you cannot use it in the mortal realm. But once your divine power is unsealed, it would be easy for you to destroy humans like me."

Artemis shook her head gently, her eyes sparkling with understanding: "That's not how it is, Orion."

"And you don't need to look down on yourself like that."

"This world needs heroes; the gods will not easily turn against humanity."

"Even if a god were to attack you at all costs, Hestia and I would fight to the death to protect you."

Upon hearing this, a touch of emotion appeared on Ying Ping's face: "Artemis..."

"Yes, I will be careful to keep the contract a secret about this matter. I won't even tell Hestia."

Artemis smiled and placed her hand on her chest: "Rest assured, I swear in the name of the moon goddess."

Ying Ping breathed a sigh of relief, then asked with concern, "Since becoming my attendant, have you felt anything special? For example, physically... is there anything that's bothering you?"

Artemis shook her head again, her silver-blue hair swaying slightly in the morning light.
