Unwanted Visitors

After filling up her stomach, Yuki carefully went upstairs and entered their bedroom where she saw Fumiko sleeping there with a peaceful look on her face. Yuki didn't even realize it herself that she was just standing there at the door and admiring Fumiko's sleeping face. When she saw that she was sleeping comfortably, she just smiled and entered their bathroom to change her clothes to a more comfortable one. Once she was finally done, she carefully entered the bed without waking up Fumiko.

When she was finally lying down beside her, it was as if Fumiko instinctively knew that someone was beside her, she reached out and hugged that person like a pillow with a beaming smile on her face. Yuki just let her do what she wanted, she even wrapped her arms around her body and also closed her eyes, and it only took her a few minutes before she fell asleep soundly with Fumiko by her arms.

The morning then came and Fumiko was the first one to wake up, but when she smelled a familiar scent near her, she instantly opened her eyes to only see Yuki with a calm sleeping face. She smiled internally and tried to keep her emotions together as she hugged Yuki to ease all of her emotions, she missed Yuki so much after being separated for more than a week, and now that she was here, all the stress that she had been feeling was swept away as she hugged her to her heart's content.

"Sorry that I took so long." Suddenly, Fumiko heard a gentle voice over her ear, but before she could look up, she was pressed into Yuki's chest. But instead of complaining, she just accepted all of it with a smile on her face as this was what she wanted the most, the care and love of the woman she loved.

"It doesn't matter to me, as long as I know that you are safe and come home to us, it's more than enough for me, just remember to always keep yourself safe while you are out alone," Fumiko said as she slowly looked up at Yuki before closing it and pecking her lips.

"That's a promise that I will never break. You guys are my real home, so I'll definitely come home. As for the last one, you guys can always come with me, I don't mind it. But I'll only allow it when I know that you guys would be safe, so do me a favor and grow strong, alright?" Yuki reassured while requesting something from her and when Yuki saw her clenching her fist, she didn't need to hear any more confirmation from her.

She then went up with Fumiko still in her arms, she offered to go to the bathroom first, to which she accepted, and even though she was reluctant, she still got up to wash her face. Yuki on the other hand just went up and went straight to the kitchen to cook some food for themselves, and while she was cooking she felt something was wrong, she felt a sudden spike of Mana around her before it completely disappeared like it wasn't even there.

"Fumiko! Can you finish what I'm cooking? I'm just going outside for a few minutes to catch some unwanted beasts that have gone close!" Yuki acted as if nothing was wrong and asked if Fumiko could finish their breakfast.

"Yeah, sure! Just leave close the heat, I'm about to be done anyway." After hearing her confirmation, Yuki removed her apron and left their house to investigate.

She felt that something just tried to pry into the barrier that she set up, but when it backfired, they flew immediately as if they were afraid that they were gonna get caught. When Yuki walked to where the spot was, she saw burned marks on the ground which only made it obvious to her that someone really tried to do something. Someone tried to destroy the Barrier that she set up.

The Barrier that she set up was running because of the Magic Circles that she applied to them. Normally, any person would be able to enter the barrier without any problem, but when someone has a bad intention of coming inside. They would get a shock of lighting through their body which can cause severe damage to their body and that is what most likely happened there.

Someone with bad intentions tried to get in but they were stopped by the Barrier, so without any more choice. They were left with no choice but to try to destroy the Barrier to enter, but what they didn't expect was for the Barrier to completely negate their attacks by absorbing it for itself.

"Bunch of rats trying to do something huh, you better be out of my range, or else~" Yuki smiled as she snapped her fingers, and when Yuki felt that she hit something with her attack, she smiled internally as she then disappeared from her spot.

"You didn't think that I would be able to catch you, huh? Well, that's too bad~ I am more cunning than you think, now can you care to tell me why were you trying to enter my Territory?" Yuki asked the man who was clearly paralyzed and was shaking on the ground because of the pain that he was feeling, but it wasn't just him. There were four more people that were in the same situation as him.

"We don't know anything! We were just passing by when we suddenly passed by your territory and we felt that there was a barrier between us, and because of it we thought that it was left by some mysterious old master, so we decided to break it open. Please believe us, we are merely passing by your territory!" The man shrieked at the thought that his and his comrade's life were in the hands of Yuki.

"Oh, passing by? Then tell me, why were you even there? Are you a party of Adventurers who took a quest and that quest coincidentally was near my house, is that what you're telling me?" Yuki asked with a smile as she decided to give the man another chance to say the truth. She already knows that it wasn't the case and he was lying to her, but such childish tricks won't work on her.

"Yes! That is exactly what happened! So please, let us go now. I have already explained everything to you, young lady!" The man pleaded for mercy, but when he was met with those indifferent and cold eyes, his body shivered in fear.

"I'm going to give you another chance to tell me the truth. I'm going to count to five and if you still don't tell me the real reason, I'm going to kill you." Yuki warned in a cold voice as she then took out her Cosmic Dragon Sword and began counting.

"1…" But when those words came out of her mouth, blood splattered everywhere. When the man saw what happened his whole body went numb in fear, as he just saw one of his comrades being decapitated by the woman in front of him.

"2…" The same thing happened, another one of his comrades lost their life.

"3-" Just as those words came out, so was her Sword slashing down, but instead of hitting the flesh, it met something hard. Yuki who saw this didn't show any reaction as she still killed her next victim.

"Stop right there! Don't you think that is enough!? How can you kill someone so cruelly?" A woman stepped forward and stopped Yuki's sword, but to no avail, as she wasn't able to save the person

"Who are you?" When Yuki finally killed the third person it was only when she looked at the beautiful woman in front of her. But in her eyes, she was no different from anyone she met. Absolutely ordinary.

"My name is Fei, Sou Fei! And I'm here to save these people from your hands, you are killing them like their lives don't matter, what did they even do to you, woman!?" Sou Fei asked in an angry tone as she raised her sword against Yuki.

"How can you be so sure that they haven't done anything to me?" Yuki asked with an indifferent face as she was amused by this woman in front of her, she was so daring to try and stop her from doing what she wanted.

"That…" Sou Fei stumbled when she was asked that question because, in reality, she couldn't answer that question. She was merely wandering around when she heard screaming and whe she decided to go and check it out, she saw the scene where Yuki was mercilessly killing them, and because she couldn't accept that such a thing was happening in front of her, she decided to take matters into her own hands.

"See? You don't even know the anwer to that, so back off." Yuki said as she just walked up again to the remaining survivors and asked again.

"Are you willing to tell me the real reason why you are trying to invade my territory now? Because if you don't… I can still do something worse than this~" Without waiting for an answer, Yuki chained another person using her Ice Manipulation before doing something that Sou Fei wouldn't be able to erase from her memories even if she tried.

All four limbs of the poor woman were chained, but the worst thing was that all four of her limbs were being pulled by all different locations. It didn't take long for her to give up and her body was divided into five different parts. It was a bloody mess, blood got everywhere, but Yuki simply held an umbrella and used it to protect herself from all the blood.

"It's raining quite hard today, isn't it?" Yuki smiled and casually remarked.
