Chapter 205

When activated, the hilt extends a sharp blade.

It's roughly on par with Yukimura's from Ma Gui's unit.

But Yukimura has three tachi, and each one is only B-rank.

The tachi Li An created for Sanba Rika has only one blade, yet its grade has reached S-rank!

The hilt's design was modeled after 2B's weapon White Contract from NieR: Automata — it's quite beautiful, and very suitable for a girl to use.

"Let's see how it feels, whether it suits your hand." Li An tossed the hilt to Sanba Rika.

Sanba Rika took the hilt with a beaming smile, then flicked her arm.

A crimson-black blade extended from the hilt, looking incomparably sharp!

She swung it a few times and felt this blade was even tougher and sharper than her own kagune.

"What grade is this Quinque?" Sanba Rika asked.

"S-rank!" Li An answered with a smile.

"No wonder it's so sharp — I really like this Quinque, thank you!" Sanba Rika retracted the blade and said, toying with the hilt.

Li An smiled but said nothing.

Over the next few days, upon learning that Li An Society knew swordsmanship, Sanba Rika clung to him and pestered him into teaching her swordsmanship.

Li An had nothing to do, so he agreed.

So the two of them went to an empty lot every day to practice swordsmanship.

Under Li An's tutelage, in just three short months, Sanba Rika's swordsmanship had already reached major completion.

With the boost from the Quinque and swordsmanship, Sanba Rika's overall combat power had already reached S-rank.

But she wasn't satisfied — next she began trying to coordinate by using her tail kagune while fighting with swordsmanship.

During these three months, Li An also signed in for 92 wooden treasure chests.

Adding the 8 wooden treasure chests left over from before, that made 100 wooden treasure chests.

Li An synthesized them into a bronze treasure chest, and his accumulated bronze treasure chest count also reached 5!

He only needed 5 more to synthesize a silver treasure chest.

He wondered what a silver treasure chest could synthesize.

That day, after Li An finished teaching Sanba Rika and the two of them were returning from outside, they discovered another ghoul.

It was a little girl, who looked quite young.

The little girl stood outside a high-heel shop in the mall, both hands pressed against the glass of the display counter, staring at a pair of red high heels inside.

Her small eyes were filled with anticipation.

"This scene looks a bit familiar — could it be her?" Li An seemed to think of something and immediately grew interested.

"Do you know her?" Sanba Rika asked curiously.

"I don't, but I think she could become your companion!" Li An said with a smile.

Sanba Rika said nothing — clearly, she trusted Li An.

After these few months together, she knew Li An had been helping her all along.

Although Li An was a bit of a flirt and unreliable in how he did things.

She had indeed survived because of him, and her strength had rapidly improved in a short time.

Li An walked up to the little girl and asked, "Do you really want it?"

The little girl turned to look at Li An, first nodded, then shook her head and said, "I don't have any money... at all."
