[N/A: don't criticize the quality of the first part too much, and although practical, I don't advise you to write a book using audio to text converter applications, and please, if you find any visible errors, let me know so I can edit later, stay with our 2nd taimanin heroine.
PS.: no 🍋🍋]
A few hours earlier, in the private room of Real (villain if the name is the same)
"Prepare well Rinko"
"Today we will receive a visit from someone who is in no way to be offended"
"During his stay he must be treated with the utmost respect, no mistakes are allowed, is that understood?
"Yes, Real Master"
not looking satisfied, he gives another order.
"To avoid unwanted events, all employees must evacuate the building, in Eden, only you two remain, and the Client."
"any other reservation that has been made while the guest is here is already unchecked,
we will be closed until further notice"
She looks at him doubtfully,
and a little skeptical of these measures, she asks her.
"Is that really necessary?"
He looks at her in displeasure, saying nothing with a serious face and speaks.
"Is it necessary? You ask...
The client this time is someone with a special status, the kind you can't afford to be offended by, and rumor has it he can even read the minds of those around him."
"And to show its importance
King Incubus himself spoke for him.
So no matter what happens, everything has to be perfect, you know?"
"Yes Master"
"Call Yukikaze and get ready, you took different shifts, but you were serving him all the time, don't let me down.
..........
.................
.................

Some time later
"Yukikaze, the customer is already waiting for you"
..........
.................
.................

[Rinko POV]
It seems incredible, all employees have been released in the building.
It's the first time we're alone, me and Yukikaze...
Now I'm in the monitoring room...
Even though I'm watching, I don't believe she could still smile like that, not after what we've been through.
There is really something strange, no matter how much I look at it, it doesn't look like a pleasure-seeking customer relationship, but it looks like newlywed life, for some reason it feels like I'm eating dog food...
........................
........................
No matter how many times I look, I can't believe that yukikaze has completely transformed in just a few hours, it seems like this girl from now, and the one from this morning, are two different people.
.................
.................
At the end of the afternoon, after more than 3 hours of "action", the yukikaze is finally at its limits.
It's time to get ready to take over when she passes out.

[n/a: I noticed, the quality of the text above is horrible, (audio to text converter) I never realized how embarrassing it is to tell the story step by step to be transcribed, I prefer to write it myself, it gets much better, but time to do this is short, but coming back, I realized, my goal here is not to write an epic story and oops, I would really like to do that, and I will in a few times, but my focus here is to change the fuck"*ng story , it's not about creating a perfect novel, so it's rushed content here, or just literally a summary (like the 2 stories I don't want to remember the name but I ended up remembering) that I put on to-love-ru, like, I don't have time to dedicate hours to writing, so back to the story...handwritten this time]
.................
..................................
..................................
.................
as I walk down the hall, my thoughts still wander about the subjects that the customer, whose name is Dawn, talked with Yukikaze in her moments of breaks.
they talked about a variety of things, from simple things about the taste of food, childhood memories, and old and forgotten desires, which I could consider the famous pillow talk, to bigger subjects about rumors of the war to come, to training advice , it is clear that the most serious matters mainly came from him.
and what left me in this state, there were times when he asked questions that seemed to be directed at me, and one of them is what left me in this situation distracted in my thoughts.
"How long are you going to stay like this?"...
"..."
"what is your goal?"...
"..."
"Is your determination just that?"..
"..."
"already gave up?"...
"..."
"As long as there's a will, there's a way"
"an unshakable will and enormous stubbornness, even if it seems idiotic, can generate miracles without size..."
As I walk down the hall, those words keep echoing in my mind...
"no matter how many times we fail, as long as we keep moving forward, we will surely reach our goal..."
"you know, there's a saying 'a man can be destroyed, but never defeated', I like that phrase, because it conveys the purest determination of humanity, the unshakable spirit, which is tempered by struggle and rises in the face of adversity ..."
over and over, why do I keep listening to them???
"As long as you keep fighting, you still have a chance to win, but the moment you give up the fight, and admit defeat, that's when you really lose..."
every word seems to pierce deep into my heart...
"if you're weak, no problem, just get strong... can't you? are you stuck? then look for a different kind of strength, master it, improve it, evolve it, if one new one isn't enough, look for two and so on. .. "
"'Fight and fight and fight again, until lambs turn into lions,' these were the words of a deliverer in ancient times, who made his name the stuff of legend..."
"How long are you going to play the victim? Saying that you can't, that you can't, that you're afraid of this or that..."
it hits me as if a sledgehammer were hitting my conscience...
"you must wake up from this delusion that everything will get better, that it can't get worse... that you don't want to feel pain anymore..."
you think i don't know?? There's no escaping it, I have nothing left on the other side...
it's fine like this...
"As long as the Mind is free, you are never truly bound... for the strongest prison is not the one that holds the body, but the one that holds the mind."
.......................
.......................
something is strange, why haven't I arrived in the room yet??
"finally realized something is wrong..."(???)
"who's there???"
when I look around me, instead of the hall, I'm in a familiar place, back in school, in the training ground where we were trained to become a taimanin...
I look around but I don't see anyone...
'How did I get here???'
"you haven't found me yet?? it seems this time in this hellhole has taken your fangs out, hunter..."
"who?"
I look up and in surprise, I realize who is talking to me.
a cold look, a strong shine can be seen in his eyes, long hair tied in a ponytail, a figure with the same proportions as mine, but carrying a sword that I recognize well...
"You still don't recognize me?"(???)
"You are me??"
"..."
"no no no, I refuse to be compared with you, after all I am a taimanin, a sword that serves justice to cleanse the world of evil influence..."
"but you pass for nothing but a weak and cowardly woman, not the comparison between us"
"you don't know anything!!! don't you dare talk like you've been through this!!!"
"BUT I WENT THROUGH!!! EVERYTHING YOU WENT THROUGH!!!"
"and nothing embarrasses me more than knowing we went through the same things but unlike me you gave up, got scared, and chickened out!!!"
"and the worst, he became the obedient pet of those you should kill!!! he resigned himself to the situation and did nothing to change it!!!"
"I did what had to be done, and I'm fine with it."
*PAHH* bitch slapped!!!
"Hmm?!!!!"
[3rd POV]
with a slap, Rinko? played Rinko? in floor.
"WAKE UP!!!
YOU ARE A SLAVE!!!!!"
as an expression of surprise, to Rinko? didn't know how to react
"UNTIL WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO WORRY AND FIND EXCUSES TO NOT FIGHT!!!"
then Rinko? He got on top of it, raised his hand and went down... from one side to the other...
*slap*
"WHA--""
*slap* *slap*
"if you're okay with being a slave, THEN BEHAVE LIKE ONE!!!"
*slap* *slap*
even trying to defend yourself...
*slap* *slap*
"JUST BE QUIET AND TAKE IT WITH A SMILE ON YOUR FACE!!!
*slap* *slap*
even trying to defend herself, she seemed to make no difference...
"WHY AREN'T YOU SMILING???"
*slap* *slap*
"STO-"
*slap* *slap* *slap* *slap*
her screams to stop were the only thing she could get out of her mouth amidst the beating she was taking...
after a while, Rinko? stops to take a breath, giving the other who still trapped, a little rest.
"HAhh HAhh HAhh"
"why do you defend yourself? why do you ask to stop??"
"HAhh hah?"
"Act like the slave you are and just be beaten until I get tired of you and put you out of your misery..."
"!!!"
*slap*
grabbing her by the hair she lifts her head, so she can look into your eyes
"ANSWER ME!!!"
*THHUHH*
AAAAARRHHHHH (that scream)
and hard, she slams her head back against the floor
she gets up and goes to her sword that she dropped when she approached.
while Rinko? writhes in pain on the floor.
"we have the same strength..."
with sword in hand she approaches
"we have the same memory..."
one step
"we have the same experience..."
two steps
"but we made different decisions..."
three steps...
"you chose to surrender completely and serve your enemy..."
step
"I chose to keep all my feelings in my heart..."
step
"all hate..."
step
"all fury..."
step
"all my feelings..."
step
"and chose to endure..."
step... and stop.
to Rinko? she closes her eyes and grips the hilt of the sword tightly as if she is remembering.
"I waited for the right moment..."
"it can take a while, but I will always remembered everything I went through, day after day, and I talked to myself..."
"even if I can't live a normal life anymore, even if it's the last thing I do...but I'm the last one to suffer at their hands..."
"I WILL KILL EVERY LAST OF THESE FUCKERS!!!!"
Rinko? on the floor she looks at the other one, and she doesn't know how to answer...
"So, you must have figured it out..."
"we are inside your mind"
"and from this training camp, only one of us will come out..."
she raises her sword and prepares to bring it down.
"!!!"
"Farewell, slave, I have monsters to kill..."
and cuts towards her neck.
*tin*
[POV return]
looking at the sword coming towards me, time seems to stop...
'Is this how I'm going to die?'
'Even after sacrificing so much to live... is this how I'm going to end up?'
'maybe it's better to end this nightmare already'
'a fitting end for someone who gave up, a coup de grace, after all, the weak have no rights...'
("Is your determination just that?"..)
'What else can I do? I have nothing more to lose...'
blood covers my vision turning it reddish
'Exchanging my meaningless life for a strong one is the best...'
tears fall from my eyes without even realizing it...
("already gave up?")
'It's fine, isn't it? I don't need to suffer anymore...'
("An unshakable will and enormous stubbornness, even if it seems idiotic, can generate miracles without size...")
"!!!"
("As long as you keep fighting, you still have a chance to win, but the moment you give up the fight, and admit defeat, that's when you really lose...")
'because I still remember his words...'
'Even though I don't want to, even though I've already given up, why are you still trying to encourage me??'
("How long are you going to play the victim? Saying that you can't, that you can't, that you're afraid of this or that...")
'you don't know me, you have no reason to save me, in the end, I'm just a sex slave, who drowns in pleasure to try to forget that I failed, that even though I trained to be strong, I ended up becoming weak.. .'
"Do you really think so?"(Dawn)
I look to the side, and I still see hallucinations...
[Dawn POV]
"I took the trouble to find a timeline where you weren't fooled into getting Stockholm syndrome, thinking you were going to, I don't know, bounce back, have an epic struggle with yourself, reaffirm your views , and settle the difference
I even prepared a hot dog, popcorn and soda to watch the show...
and what do i see? a pathetic scene of a woman letting herself be beaten, and giving herself up to death, just because she doesn't want to feel pain again..."
'hmm. I'm really pathetic...'
'and why haven't you let me die yet? even after I accept this, why?'
"Really? Do I need to have a reason to help someone?"
"when you have a power that allows you to do everything, but your own body can't withstand using it, it's incredibly frustrating, I have to watch even my thoughts, or I might end up blowing up the entire planet unintentionally.. "
"!!!"
"What? Do you think it's easy to know that so much bad is happening, and at the same time, having to look on and do nothing, because if you do, something worse will happen?"
"there are many more things between yours and the earth than just space"
"Honestly speaking, I really don't care which Rinko dies or which Rinko lives, my purpose tells me that it needs to be "Rinko", any of the infinite possibilities of "Rinko" that exist, I just need one and only one of all of it, and it doesn't matter who it is."
"you don't know about her past, and I consider it even worse than yours, if it weren't for her choices to become strong, she would have killed herself a long time ago, she doesn't have a younger brother, instead of losing her parents in an accident, during the taimanin revolt, she saw the death of her parents and younger brother, while she couldn't do anything to change that, later, Yukikaze, who became a family to her, a little sister she owes protect...
unfortunately, to find her mother, they stayed to do the mission, anyway, the problem is that Yukikaze didn't have a childhood friend, she didn't have a promise that held her back....
as they couldn't break her spirit, because she didn't have any emotional pillars, they did the same thing to her mother, erased her memory, and turned her into a toy and a weapon, more like a child does with a toy, the one you surrendered does with those who lose your attention...
after more than 1 year as slaves, they put her to fight for vip customers, a show in the underworld, main fight, mother vs daughter...
I don't need to talk about how it ended, Rinko stayed strong, endured everything that could happen, with a smile on her face regardless of the situation...
but after losing her only family yet again, she realized that just putting up with it wouldn't change anything, that just obeying wouldn't change anything, she was a slave after all...
so, she made the decision to avenge her sister's death, avenge all the humiliation they received during that time, avenge those women who passed through this same place, against those who caused this situation, and ensure that if no one would fight for them, she would become the avenger...
at that moment, all psychological and emotional prisons and reasons that held her were broken, because she had a change of mentality, she would no longer be the slave that she was until then, she would no longer be the weak and pathetic victim who can only look at disgrace falling on those around, e.g. do nothing...
and what a change...
if you saw the change that took place in her spirit at that moment, it looked like a dim candle in the midst of the gale, but when she built up her resolve, that candle turned into a blaze that shone as bright as the sun...
though it was out of revenge, it doesn't change the fact that her Spirit shone brighter than anyone...
looking further into the future, while she waited, she not only served the customers, but each time she got stronger, she couldn't train, the more she did the daily routine her training, she couldn't control her body with her own will, the more she could using command loopholes to prepare, until she succeeded, and when that happened, the more you had to see, she annihilated the entire organization single-handedly, and when it was all over, after the emptiness that comes with the completion of revenge, she managed to recover."
"???"
"you ask me then, why don't you choose her??? she's not the Rinko who ended her journey, she's the Rinko, the day after burying her Little Sister...
as I said, she already has a path to follow, unlike you, who don't even know what you wants to do...
you didn't witness the death of your parents, you didn't have your dead brother in your arms, you didn't have to watch your sister being killed in front of you and not being able to do anything,
you are not her, even if they are the same, each future happens only once, even though there are thousands of possibilities, there is only one "you"...
And no matter how I look at you, telling you that you want to die, that you've given up, that you don't care, those tears on your face tell me otherwise..."
"so I ask you, what do you want?"
*sniff*
' I want to live!!!
I want to live with my family,
I want to train and become strong,
I want to rescue the innocent from the hands of these people,
I don't want to die having so many regrets!!!'
(Finally, that candle at the end of the rope, turned into a mighty fire...)
(whew *wipes sweat off forehead*... thought this wasn't going to work, what a stubborn girl that is, as usual, women are utterly unreasonable, you can't try to understand them, rule set in the beginning of time, don't provoke a rage woman, or else you will suffer for life!!!)
(If you're going to make an example, unlike Yuki who just stopped walking, and just needed a push, Rinko, not only stopped on the way, but after she stopped halfway, she decided to change direction and leave the road, further increasing the difficulty of retrieval, as always human minds are Pandora's boxes, they are simply too complicated in the simplest way.)
[3rd POV]
*tinnn* (metal to metal)
just before the sword reaches her neck
Rinko blocked the sword with her own, dodged it and, stepping out of the sword's reach, rose to her guard.
"hoo?? those eyes you have now are not the same as a few moments ago, what has changed in you?"
"I really wanted to give up and let you take my place, but I realized that if I did, I would just be running away from my problems...
and worst of all, I would not have the pleasure of cutting off those responsible for my situation."
with a smirk, which only served to make her puffy face even worse, but without even caring, she's laughing, like a happy child,
after being trapped,
for the fist time, Rinko smiled,
Rinko finally made a decision,
the decision not to be the damsel in distress, but to once again become the taimanin (anti-demon ninja), who was danger personified.
"Even if I die, I won't die without a fight!!!"
with a similar smile, the other Rinko also prepares.
"Show me what you're capable of, Rinko!!!"
the two rush forward at the same time and engage in combat once more, but this time, there doesn't seem to be a difference in strength...
[Dawn POV]
'now yes, that's what enjoying a good show is'
'two worthy fighters, putting their ideals and desires to the test in an epic struggle to secure them.'
'now I can eat my popcorn and hot-dog with satisfaction, nothing better than a sword fight with women, in a world of Hentai logic, there are no cuts on women, bodies immune to many things, but with clothes that tear only with the wind ...'

[A/N: I confess, this second part was much better written, the difficulty was much longer to write, but it was easier to imagine the scenario and the lines...
sorry I'm late, unless I get a donation salary, there's no way I can focus on writing even if I want to,
On the bright side, I finally passed the exam and became a lawyer (my home country), I just hope they don't take up too much of my time like when I work in the industry.
This taimanin series (it came from the guess of someone whose name I don't remember now, he had asked for shiranui, but, to keep a closed plot, I chose to start with Yuki and Rinko, and then for others later on, I'll mix about 2 more or 3 heroines hehehe...
I must conclude in 2 or 3 more chapters, or 4 to 5 if I'm going to put the other heroines from other stories of the same shared world.
In the end, thank you to those who have been following the series.]
