Chapter 18 - Lively as ever

Quietly the two continued to relax on the warm water of the bathhouse where Kyouka was flustered when his "Hidden Weapon" pressed against her back close to her rear. She tried to occupy her thought and ignored it but couldn't since it was far too difficult.

However, he couldn't deny the warmth that his embrace was giving a comforting sensation that her body loosen up and feeling at ease. Yuuki saw that she leaned back even more into this chest while he kept his embrace until Kyouka decided to speak her mind.

"There's one thing bothering me….if you were sister what was about that Harem thing?"

Yuuki knew that this conversation would eventually come and frankly it was a selfish desire of his. He was a beast all throughout and can't be tamed that easily only by a specific kind of woman.

"About that…you'd probably find it weird but I always read manga typically fantasy since it's thrilling to me but I got really angry at the protagonist for choosing one girl. Before you think I'm some kind of fiend, here me out."

Kyouka disliked hearing this but wanted to know more about what kind of man Yuuki was.

'It's not like I'll fall for him, he's only my  [ Slave ] and…I already like someone.'

She thought herself trying to convince herself that she won't fall for him when she already has. Kyouka had been obsessed with the person that saved her and wanted to repay that person with everything including herself since he was the sole reason why he kept on living. His words were like mantras to her.

"Fine, I'm listening but it doesn't change the fact that it is a scummy thing to do."

"Judge me all you want but my sole reason is that I didn't like women crying."

Yuuki only applies if it's his allies and not his enemy because he would not bat an eye on their misery if he considers them as enemies. Kyouka became interested while Yuuki saw her perked and continued.

"It is just a personal bias of mine that If I have the capabilities to give each and everyone my love wholeheartedly then it would be great."

He was always annoyed by how harem Has the sense protagonist who doesn't realize their feelings and it is painfully obvious they don't mind.

"Won't the girl be jealous? How do you plan on spending time with each of them?"

"Because they trust me and I trust them. Jealousy would only be felt if you don't trust your partner and think he'll abandon you."

Kyouka can see the logic in his words but doesn't remove the fact that he wants to spend time with women and mingle with everyone.

"Hold on, I am not some sort of horny mutt—"

"You're not? You could have fooled me."

Kyouka sarcastically said while Yuuki decided to ignore her and continued.

"I won't seek every single woman I see, if they have mutual interest and are willing to be with me then great but never force anyone to be with me."

"Still, even how much you justify it seems unfair to the women around you?"

"True, I mean if one of them tried to mingle with another man then I'd be mad at them but that's where trust comes in. However, in the end if they choose to be with me then I'll do anything in my power to give them everything that they deserve."

Yuuki quite literally can give them what they want if the girls follow him. Wealth, power and time is on their side. He could make them immortal both mind and body since they'll eventually ascend to godhood

Kyouka somewhat felt the love and care from his embraces that she started to believe that he was able to do it. Yuuki showed that he is a well equipped and capable person who is a man full of integrity.

"Then if you were given a choice of who to save then who will you save?"

"None."

Yuuki bluntly said bewilderingly waiting for his reason since if he truly intended to have Harem love them the best he can then wouldn't he save them?

"Why?"

"Because I have my faith in them that they will be able to handle it on their own. I mean, if you became mine—"

"Not happening."

Kyouka shut him down immediately while Yuuki only teased her.

"For now at least."

"I'm sorry but I already have someone that I intend to give my life to because I owe everything to them."

Yuuki groaned at this thinking who could it be then realize that she most likely was talking about his alter ego, Kuro Oni. Her trauma seems to have made him like light in her life now forever fated to be with him. It was a strange thing but knowing people with trauma tend to be illogical and irrational.

"...Is it Kuro Oni?"

"Yes, you might think it stupid but I swore that I'll repay him after he had saved me and encourage me to continue living and to get strong."

Yuuki pondered how she could develop feelings for him when they hardly interacted at that time and guess she felt indebted to him. It can hardly be said to be love and more of an infatuation. Though this made it easier to slip into her heart then said.

"What if he's like me? I mean how can you have feelings for someone who only saves you and most likely already has multiple partners."

"Be it as may, I already made an oath along my dream for vengeance and becoming a commander."

Kyouka was stubborn and had some mental instability that Yuuki noted. He does hope her obsession and feelings for him become genuine.

"Well have it your way since I won't force you."

Yuuki said while his thought was entirely different.

'When but you already chose me.'

Kyouka still had inner conflict because she started to waver and fall into his arms unknowingly her heart was going toward Yuuki every time she thought of Kuro Oni.

"Anyways, as I was saying, the women who chose to follow me are strong and dependable women that are not damsels in distress. It would tarnish their pride if I don't have my faith in them."

Yuuki finished his explanation while Kyouka thought about his words and wondered if it was true that her savior would have a woman follow him but refused to give up and would push herself to stand beside him.

"For a perverted scumbag you have a lot of knowledge about how to handle that dream of yours."

"I'm a man of focus, commitment and sheer fucking will. Anyway, you think the rewards are over?"

"...I don't think so, try K-Kissing my neck and shoulder."

Kyouka is ashamed of what she is going through while Yuuki pondered if this is considered cheating when he's literally the same person and just different aliases. He didn't think too much since he's not sensitive but won't use his clone for leading his woman in the future.

Yuuki did as told and began to kiss her neck that caused her to moan from the sensation of his tongue and how it glided through her skin. He was giving her hickey as she marked her shoulder until red patches were seen and Kyouka started to get excited

"Damn pervert making me do this shameful act…"

Kyouka denies the pleasure she was receiving, blaming it on Yuuki who knew that she doesn't mean what she says. After a while the two finished making out and Yuuki went off to rest until it was dinner time and started to make dinner.

'I wonder if it is too early to reveal myself to Kyouka? Maybe it's best until I meet the Eight Thunder God in a hidden village run by my sister?'

He thought to himself pondering his next course of action until he heard someone shout at him.

"Yuuki-san, isn't that pot too Hot!?"

Nei was worried for his safety while Yuuki smiled at her.

"Something like this won't hurt me but thanks for worrying, Nei-chan. I was just a space out than normal since there's a lot going on."( Yuuki)

" Please sit. Nei will do what she should as your superior.

Nei said as she put her hands on her waist. She wasn't wearing her uniform and was in her home clothes. Yuuki was a little confused but he did as she told and sat down on his knees.

She brought her hands up and put both her hands on his head as she started patting and moving her hands through his hair. It somewhat reminded him of his mother who patted his head that he enjoys as much when he fights. Yuuki never had parental affection since parents aren't the best.

"Tough enemies appeared there, and you saved Shushu-Chan and Himari-San. You must be tired."

She said in a calming tone as Yuuki found it soothing and only time he would act vulnerable like a tamed beast since Nei was too angelic.

"My cooking might be simple but I can also do it, so I'll switch with you today!"

Nei said as Yuuki found her as a kind girl and surprisingly mature for her age. To be fair she experienced that an 11 year old shouldn't and that is to lose both her parents from the Mato disaster.

"Thank You but let's do it together and teach you some things about cooking."

"I'm Just Doing My Job as Your Superior."

After that, the two made dinner for everyone and while in an unknown location. Inside was Yuuki's sisterz Aoba who had attacked the 7th Unit sitting on the One-Horned inside a cave-like place as she drew a simple drawing of Yuuki's face with her hair on a rock.

"That was Yuuki for sure. He grew up so much and looks so handsome! But how did he get so strong? I have no idea of what will happen if I deal with this poorly. I'll have to look deep into this but I need to test the girls' loyalty if they are going to stay with Yuuki's side."

Aoba won't easily let someone join her brother harem when they are weak to fight her and would judge them accordingly.

"But, we can just live in Mato if we need to. I'm happy to see him again!"

She said with a happy smile and imagined her brother conquering more women being by his side through it all.

======

The next day, it was usual where Yuuki would spar, train and spend time with nei who he continues to teach while she's not at school. He had a lot of pent up stress in his mind that he had to head for training somewhere where he demolished a small mountain having increased his stats appropriately exchanging them for two abilities that he intended to copy later.

Yuuki was in the bathhouse and was about to get out but before he could he sensed someone coming inside even when he put up a sign saying that a male, is inside when someone dated entered and already knew who it was.

"You look worried, my slave!

Shushu exclaimed as she hugged me from behind. Of course it would be her

"First off, I'm not your slave and second, what are you doing here?"( Yuuki)

"You see I forgot to thank you for having my back. So, thank you for saving me."

"You don't have to thank me for that.

She gave him a smile while Shushu was adamant in her gratitude.

"Lemme wash your back as thanks!"(Shushu)

"Careful now, I let you off last time or else you'll awaken a beast."

Yuuki warned her growing tired of her teasing while Shushu boldly ignored his words.

"Ah! Are you going to turn around? Cause I'm completely naked~~"

"Just stay quiet and let me wash you back."

"Okay that's it. Come here."

Yuuki turned around surprising Shushu who didn't expect him to retaliate and slipped into that ground where Yuuki was on top of her. Shushu became flustered when looking at his face, taking a good look at her body.

"You Really Are Naked, how bold."

"W-Wait what are you doing,"

He slowly leaned closer while Shushu felt her heart pounding seeing his lips then didn't expect that he would actually steal a kiss from her and felt his hand move inside her. The cave between her thighs became itchy as her hands moved on their own scratching it while Yuuki's hand moved around her boobs causing her to moan.

"Hyah~♥️ Yuuki…don't stop."

"WHAT THE HELL ARE TWO DOING!?"

A scream was heard as the two as cock locked by Himari who was naked while Yuuki smirked seeing this and said.

"Nice~"

"OKAY YOU'RE DEAD."

Himari emanated a terrifying aura that In that moment a dust cloud in the shape of Yuuki was left as he booked out of the place leaving Shushu sexually frustrated.

'I can't believe we did that…. I'll make sure he'll take responsibility!"

Shushu thought to herself having an innocent and maiden heart thinking "first time is the last time"kind of relationship. Though her future relationship with Yuuki is eternal. Suddenly he heard a chainsaw from the back and saw Himari running towards him while shouting,

"So the Day to twist it off Has Finally Come"

"Hey I already had a plack but you completely missed it!"

Yuuki was messing with her, having already dressed since it was easy when he had his [ bracelet ]. After they arrive at the entrance was when suddenly a Portal appeared and two women came out.

"Hello. The 7th Unit looks as lively as ever."
