"Mr. Fang Zheng… are you alright?"
Looking at Fang Zheng, who was lying completely on the sofa, as if saying "I've turned into a salted fish who will die right here, so please ignore me," Yoshino couldn't help but walk to his side and quietly ask. Fang Zheng could only manage a wry smile and extended his hand to gesture dismissively upon hearing Yoshino's inquiry.
"It's nothing… Yoshino, I'm just a bit too tired…"
"...?"
Upon hearing Fang Zheng's response, Yoshino tilted her head in curiosity, while Fang Zheng himself didn't know what to say.
He had thought that the so-called "Kiss of Oath" was merely a formality. However, when the kiss actually happened, Fang Zheng realized that it was not so simple. The moment he kissed Ester, Fang Zheng felt the Sword Emblem on the back of his left hand suddenly turn into a black hole, greedily drawing out his power.
