Chapter 584: DEM

"Ohhh!"

Tohka was excited. Ever since the medical exam ended, Yuki told her they now had a house to live in. For Tohka, who didn't understand the concept of a home, this was thrilling. It was the first time she felt accepted.

She was the first to enter and explore the house...

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, I'm the one who agreed to give you asylum..."

The house the spirits were occupying was Kotori's. Initially, Yuki didn't want to do this because Kotori gave them asylum to keep an eye on them. Yuki wanted to move freely, but after learning about the first spirit's capabilities, he abandoned that idea. It was better to have Kotori nearby, and it would help build trust between them...

Besides, if he wanted to escape, he could create a clone...

"If that's what you want, I'll gladly live with you..."

"Please do, and don't forget our deal..."

Kotori frowned and warned. Yuki shrugged and headed straight to the kitchen.

"Since it's a special day, I prepared something for you..."

"Hm?"

Kotori doubted whether this spirit could cook. She glanced at Kurumi, but Kurumi smiled and followed Yuki to the kitchen. It seemed this couple was very close...

...

Half an hour later, Kotori was speechless. The plate in front of her was empty, her eyes sparkled, and her cheeks had a crimson tint. Her palate was still savoring the exquisite taste...

She looked at the male spirit before her in shock. She never thought such a person could exist. One bite was enough for her to feel the sensation of high-quality food, something her stomach hadn't experienced before.

"Yuki! Yuki! I want more! It's delicious!"

Tohka was drooling as she asked for more. As a spirit, she had never tasted anything so good before, her eyes were stars, and her gluttonous stomach seemed like a bottomless pit, making Yuki's lips tremble...

"Alright, but this will be the last one. It's nighttime, and you need to sleep."

"Um! Um!"

Tohka nodded vigorously. All she wanted was to eat. Kurumi beside her laughed, her expression softening.

From one perspective, the four of them seemed like a family: Tohka as an innocent maiden, Kurumi as an older sister, Kotori as the boss, and Yuki as the center of them all.

(Maybe it's time to retrieve it...)

This vision of fragile happiness made Kurumi sigh internally. She, who had died in another timeline, lamented her weakness.

In the end, she couldn't help her man, leaving Yuki to bear the mission's weight. Although he was stronger, compared to the first spirit, he was still weak. She needed power and knew where to find it...

Hours passed quickly, and in the middle of the night, Yuki opened his eyes. It was time to act...

"Yuki... Yuki... Yuki..."

Just as he was about to switch with his clone, a pair of breasts covered his face. Tohka, who had thrown a tantrum over the rooms, ended up sleeping with him. Although the conflict between Tohka and Kotori was intense due to morality, Tohka won because Yuki promised not to do anything to her. Only for this reason did Kotori agree to let them sleep together. Of course, if it ended so easily, it would be a miracle. After all, as a guardian, Kotori watched them, visiting the room every hour.

Tohka, on the other hand, was quite mischievous when sleeping, holding him like a hugging pillow. If Yuki weren't heavy, she might have thrown him out of bed. But this didn't stop her from holding him and murmuring his name...

Sighing, his body flickered and switched with his clone...

"Sorry for the delay..."

"Hihihi, don't worry, Danna-sama, I didn't wait too long..."

On top of a building, Yuki emerged from the shadows, and Kurumi was already waiting. Kurumi, knowing the difficulties he was facing, didn't make it hard for him. She knew someone like Yuki, whose aura was very attractive and addictive, would draw girls like Tohka, moths to a flame. Although the flames hurt, they couldn't stay away, so she let Tohka have him for the night...

"Let's go then..."

"Yes, let's rescue this new 'Sister'..."

Both sinking back into the shadows, Yuki had already marked the location of the next spirit...

Pacific Ocean, DEM Private Island, Neryl Island...

On this island, within a research center, scientists in white coats and soldiers were attentively watching a woman with short ash-colored hair.

"Still no response?"

"No, the specimen still shows no signs of inversion."

This woman was in what looked like a mechanical chair, with several cables attached to her body.

She was a spirit that DEM had captured for research.

"Inversion seems harder than we thought. Even with all that pain, we still can't invert her."

One of the scientists lamented. They had tried multiple methods to invert this spirit but failed, leaving them helpless...

What they didn't expect was that outside the facility, high in the sky, two people were floating gently...

"This is it, I can feel her. Sister is down there..."

With how sensitive Yuki was to spirits, his Sephira crystal sent out Reiryoku waves when close...

"After all these years searching, I finally found her..."

Kurumi smiled. Sister was considered the second confirmed spirit. After all, Kurumi herself was the second spirit, but to humans, the second spirit was Nia Honjou, aka Sister... 

(TN: Me???😳😳)

This spirit had been captured by DEM years ago and had been treated as a guinea pig ever since. Kurumi had been searching for her for some time because her angel, Rasiel, the omniscient book, might have information about the first spirit. But now that Yuki had arrived in this world and Rasiel couldn't find the first spirit, Kurumi no longer needed Sister, but Yuki was different.

Sister, the bearer of Rasiel, had a more versatile version of Rasiel than his own. This intrigued him. Now that all spirits were on his hunt list, Yuki wanted to start with Sister...

"DEM? What a crazy tech company, daring to capture spirits. Humans, no matter the world, are always curious, and often that curiosity costs them their lives..."

"Hihi, that's how humans are, Danna-sama..."

"You're right, no need to talk to them..."

Yuki's eyes glowed with coldness as his spiritual power increased. It was time to show these foolish humans that some beings shouldn't be touched, especially spirits. Each one was important to Yuki. Kurumi found it amusing...

"Ara, does Danna-sama need my help?"

"Unnecessary, just stay here and enjoy the show..."

As he said this, Yuki fell like a cannonball. Meanwhile, in the DEM base, the soldiers were like headless chickens, running everywhere...

Yuki didn't hide his spiritual energy; instead, it was like a beacon in the dark, leading the DEM satellite to find him. Consequently, the entire base went on high alert. This was Yuki's purpose, to make them feel despair...

*BOMMM*

Yuki fell like a meteor. The island trembled from his impact and the shockwave, waking the birds that inhabited the island, sending them flying in terror...

DEM soldiers acted quickly, and so did the mages, each using high-tech CR units. They had received the news of an invader and had to neutralize it...

They were quite confused about why a spirit was attacking them, but they also wanted to know which spirit was foolish enough to do so. This base had enough mages to repel several spirits at once.

Unfortunately, the spirit they faced was not normal...

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Gurētoaisuraion" (Great Ice Lion)

*Puff*

A cloud of smoke exploded, and then a gigantic shadow rose...

*ROOOAAARRRR*

A monstrous nightmare roared. The moment of despair had arrived...
