Momo and Diluc entered Himiko's house for the second time. Izuku opted out of it since he knew he'd be ignored by Himiko regardless.

"Hey honey. You brought some friends over?" Her mother asked.

"Yeah! I brought over Diluc and Momo again!" She replied.

Diluc was quite surprised to see Himiko's mother again, her sleeves were up and the scars that were previously quite fresh and prominent, have since faded quite a bit.

Izuna simply smiled at the boy who talked some sense into her.

"Go have some fun upstairs with your friends, I'll bring up some food." She spoke. The three of them entered Himiko's room.

Nothing had changed since the last time they were here. The only discernable difference was the monopoly board on the coffee table in the middle of her room.

"Let's play!" Himiko said while pointing at the board.

Of course, being the man who got one of the worst possible abilities, Diluc's luck was subpar. And when I say subpar, I mean Momo got both of the dark blue properties and Diluc stepped on them every time he went around the board. Most of the money used to purchase the houses on those properties were from Diluc's deflated wallet.

Regardless, the game went on. Diluc was the first to lose as there wasn't a turn in which he didn't land on a property. The game was between Momo and Himiko.

Himiko had a couple of sets across the board with one or two houses on each property. While Momo had two dark blue properties that could end Himiko in a heartbeat if she landed on them.

The game went on much longer than expected. Himiko slowly drained Momo's money while anytime that Himiko got a significant lead, she'd land on a dark blue and they'd be back in a stalemate.

After almost 3 hours of playing monopoly, they all agreed that it was a draw between the two of them. Diluc was glad to finally see them done with the game.

Diluc went ahead and summoned his dagger in order to replenish the now empty jar of blood before Himiko stopped him.

"Uhhh... You don't have to do that anymore. Just let me smell you sometimes, ok?" Himiko asked.

"Hold up! I'm the only one that's allowed to smell him!" Momo argued.

Diluc felt it was quite weird. Momo was fine seeing him cut his own wrists but she wasn't fine seeing other women inhale his scent?

"Awww. C'mon! He smells so good!" Himiko replied.

"Yeah... he does..." Momo replied, embarrassed.

Instead of intervening verbally, Diluc simply picks up Momo and gets ready to leave this situation. Momo responded by hugging him.

"Wait a second!" Himiko shouted. Before he could turn around, she pulled him closer to her where she inhaled as much as she could. She was about to do it again when Diluc left the room and the house, waving to Izuna on the way out.

'I need to shower more.' Diluc thought. Not to get rid of a bad stench but to get rid of a good one, that's new.

The both of them soon arrived home, they found Izuku working out in the garage as he usually does and girls watching a drama show.

That night, Diluc challenged the dancer once again. He was already sick of seeing this giant and was about ready to kick its ass.

The first phase passed by without Diluc taking a single hit, his dancing was simply too OP.

The second phase started with Diluc shooting a couple spells at her while she transformed. This wasn't anime, he wouldn't stand by while the dancer decided to power up. She certainly wouldn't wait for Diluc.

Thus, their death dance began. The dancer engaged with a Beyblade combo which consisted of the dancer spinning while slashing multiple times.

'It's astonishing how she doesn't get dizzy from that.' Diluc thought. After her combo was over, he took his chance and attacked her with a simple slash to her chest plate. Despite the fact that it was a small slash, it was done by a massive great sword, the dancer felt the attack.

In retaliation, the dancer sent out a slash of her own. However, through the use of his dancing, he dodged the attack and once again landed one of his own.

What followed was a whirlwind of attacks from both parties. The flowing, graceful slashes from the dancer endangered Diluc's life, time after time. However, that didn't stop him from returning with his own strikes, ones that continued to strip away at her health.

For every one strike the dancer got in, Diluc managed to connect 10. She was both faster and stronger than him, so he had to use his brain to predict when she'd attack and where, then dance his way out of the way and return a strike of his own.

Not only was his body exhausted from dancing in the middle of a fight, but it was also mentally exhausting from having to predict the dancer's moves like Lelouch.

Lastly, Diluc wasn't able to heal during the fight. Pontiff's left eye was the only thing keeping him alive at this point and even that wasn't able to activate regularly since he had to pause his attacks to evade.

Pontiff was only difficult because he knew everything Diluc had to offer, the Dancer was difficult because Diluc had no time to think or heal, it was a constant balance between life and death.

Eventually, Diluc was able to get her health down to about 3-4%. However, Diluc himself was only one attack away from death himself.

Now was their final bout.

Both the Dancer and Diluc charged at each other. The Dancer's prancing in time with her chaotic rhythm and Diluc's was alike a barbaric beast trying to act graceful.

This time, instead of dodging and counter-attacking, Diluc simply attacked.

The Dancer's blades pierced his body without resistance. The only solid blow she had gotten on him in this fight.

However, Farron and pierced her side and the dagger which had been imbued with Soul Greatsword had pierced her skull.
