Chapter 60 - Tied Up

As an Azuma, Yachiho had excelled in many fields compared to her peers and her ability allowed her to become a vice chief of a unit in the Anti-demon corp.

It has only been nearly a month since they had the interunit matches and understand that Shushu was below in combat prowess compared to her fellow 6th unit, Sahara and yet the scene before her was beyond her expectation.

'How in the living hell did she improve this quickly!? What are those unorthodox moves she's doing!?'

Yachiho learned martial arts at an early age and even at the same level as Kyouka who devoted herself to honing her skills but can say she was above average.

However, she witnessed Shushu dish out a unique move and fought against Yuuki who also used a wide array of unknown fighting styles that countered an attack from Sahara who had superior power than Yuuki yet able to overwhelm with sheer skill alone.

'Wait, does that mean…Himari also.'

She turned to look at her sister who was nearby training and pondered if she also learned new things from Yuuki. Yachiho has a conflict of interest since she wanted her little sister for herself but also wanted Yuuki. Though, she didn't know it yet and was convincing herself it was a way to protect Himari.

Yachiho noticed his eyes and demeanor always change when fighting where the moment he seems carefree and full of opening to a cunning and skilled fighter. She had a circular radius on the ground that seemed to form around him the moment he seemingly held his guard and took a stance.

Meanwhile, Shushu and Sahara charged towards the clone who was prepared to attack. Shushu extended her staff and spun it around as she utilized a Bo staff technique.

[ Hallyang Style Pumba - 8th Verse: Beggar's Song Dance ]

By using a staff Shushu swings her staff around her like a sphere deflecting all incoming attacks and nearby enemies, thereby allowing her to attack from all directions. On the other hand, Sahara simply charges at the clone only for her to barely react and only felt her body in shock as it was hit by the clone's attack.

[ CQC ]

In the blink of an eye, the clone unleashes a devastating strike in a precise location that Shushu is barely able to block and Sahara could barely withstand even with her 3 minute boost.

"Extend! Ryuu Bang!"

The clone spun his body and evaded her attack then tried to grab it only for Shushu to shrink it.

"Shorten! Ryuu Bang!"

He then prepared to evade when she took a stances and began to attack the clone by thrusting the Bo staff and spinning it while he was simply black.

[ Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist ]

The clon then rushed towards Shushu to attack her but she was able to evade and kick his face but he simply followed the direction to lessen the force and quickly stepped back.

'Gaah…I didn't expect Yuuki-san to be this good but more importantly, Shushu improved a lot the last time we were together.'

Sahara was trying to recover watching the fight where Shushu used her staff and used it like a pole to increase the force of her kicks that sent shockwaves to the clone who parried and redirected the force.

[ Renewal Taekwondo - Screw Punch ]

Shushu saw his fist heading towards her face instantly shrunk herself and stabbed the staff on the ground before kicking his chin flinging him away as he stopped himself midair levitating in the air.

"I think you just broke my jaw with that one…"

"Well, I had a great teacher."

The clone smiled hearing this and suddenly sensed Sahara behind him about to punch his head but easily dodged.

[ Judo ]

As an immediate response was slammed in the ground causing a crack and held by the clone in place as she tried to escape only to suddenly shake when he stomped close to her head making her eyes go wide and saw him smiling.

"Nice try, Sahara but next time don't simply charge. If I was an enemy then I would crush your head.

Sahara felt sobered, realizing how close she was from getting stomped. Her increased durability would let her survive but still injure her severely. The clone then sensed an incoming attack and leaned back then planted his legs in the air looking at Shushu who saw this immediately prepared to block it.

[ Destructive Death - Disorder ]

In that moment, the clone lunges towards Shushu delivering a barrage of powerful shockwaves towards her.

[ Hallyang Style Pumba - 8th Verse: Beggar's Song Dance ]

Shushu tried her best but her defense was not enough and ended up losing and pushed her back. The moment she tried to recover was when his fist was inches away from her wave.

"You're doing unnecessary movement but I can say it's a lot better than before."

The clone extended his hand and healed Shushu then went to Sahara doing the same thing. Yachiho went over to them and said.

"What was all that? I have never seen that kind of martial art before."

"I made it myself. Hmmm, we'll continue for a few more minutes then you."

The clone pointed at Yachiho and said.

"I'll teach you a way to last longer using your ability. Being an Azuma shouldn't be a problem for you to learn it since Himari got the basics in only a few days."

He was uncertain if it has to do with her ability or being part of a prestigious family. His intuition told him that it was both along with her character.

"Then I'll do it in less time! As her big sister I can't get ahead of me."

"That's the spirit!"

The clone gave a bright smile causing a Yachiho blush then shook her face before they all continued to train giving her instruction on [ Total Concentration Breathing ] to at least help her last longer and use her ability a lot more.

Meanwhile the main body was standing surrounded by Kyouka, Yakumo and Tenka gasping for her and wincing from the beating that Yuuki gave them.

Of course, he was holding back and resulted in getting injuries but still stood unfazed by it. He controlled his lust for battle and didn't want to over do it.

Yuuki quickly healed them and they all continued to train until it was time for lunch and Yuuki went to prepare their meal.The girls were in the bath removing the soreness of their body.

"Ah~... My fatigue is melting away…"(Shushu)

"The strength of Yakumo's wind has gone up, hasn't it?"(Kyouka)

"If she got serious, I think she could level an entire city."(Kaiko)

"She's really respectable once you put aside her tendency to grope."(Yachiho)

"Well the chief has already taken care of that."(Himari)

She said while washing the back of her sister as Kaiko nodded then said.

"Speaking of, where did you get that cat because something tells me it isn't a normal animal.(Kaiko)

She pointed at the Byakko on the bath playing with Nei enjoying himself.

"Oh, that's part of Yuuki's ability called Byakko. He said it was part of his training since summoning his full power would drain him a lot quicker."(Kyouka)

"Seriously? I heard rumors about it but hearing from another chief does make it sound more convincing."(Kaiko)

"I don't think common sense applies to Yuuki."(Himari)

"I second that, as much as I hate to admit it I didn't expect his training to be a lot harder than I thought."(Yachiho)

"What did he do to you?"(Kaiko)

"He trained me on increasing my stamina and endurances by learning what he calls [ Total Concentration Breathing ]."(Yachiho)

She was embarrassed that the method would take her longer than she initially anticipated. Yachiho knows how to utilize her breathing in battle but Yuuki's method was more extreme and unrelenting.

"That's great! Yuuki mentions it increases a person's ability several fold. Even normal humans without peaches can fight low level shuuki with it."(Himari)

"Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"(Kaiko)

"I think it's more like we're underestimating it. Yuuki showed us the potential of his martial art."(Shushu)

"He taught me how to properly use my strength and realize there's a lot that I'm lacking. Yuuki haven't even used his ability apart from floating in the air and cloning to train us and the other chiefs"(Sahara)

Kaiko was surprised and couldn't help but gasp hearing how much a single man was able to contend with them.

"How many abilities does he have?"(Kaiko)

"No clue and he prefers it that way."(Kyouka)

She immediately said having no idea the full extent of his power. Kaiko simplet nodded glancing at Byakko that was being washed by Nei then Saki went up to the onsen and looked at something getting Sahara's attention.

"What's wrong?"(Sahara)

"Maybe she feels something is off, with how quiet Yakumo's been."(Kyouka)

"I think she's just waiting for us to leave the baths."(Tenka)

Kyouka leaning on the edge of the onsen while Tenka laid on it.

"Physical contact with girls is a high priority for the Chief, after all."(Kaiko)

'Pri…?'(Shushu)

Meanwhile, Yuuki was setting up the tables when he heard someone calling out to him.

"Heeeey, yooou!"

Yuuki looks at where the voice is and sees Yakumo tied up like a worm.

"Yakumo-san?"(Yuuki)

"Ten-san and Kyouka tied me up like this, but there's a reason for it."(Yakumo)

"Well, it's because you'd attack the other girls, so you were put in isolation, right?"(Yuuki)

"Listen to this. Kyouka threatened me, saying she'd be angry if I used my ability to free myself…"(Yakumo)

She explained then gave a deep sigh before making herself vulnerable, tempting Yuuki.

"So... Can you release me? This might be your chance to touch a girl~"(Yakumo)

"...No, I don't think I will. Not to mention, even if Kyouka's hadn't told me to, I won't untie you."(Yuuki)

"Oh, your loss."(Yakumo)

She teases him while Yuuki remains stoic watching her as she begins to crack her points and escapes.

"Well, I can still get out of these ropes without my ability."(Yakumo)

'She sure is something else.'(Yuuki)

"Hey,"(Yakumo)

She finally got her binding removed and stood up popping her bones into place and said with a smile.

"How about having a chat with Yakumo-san? Slave-chan🎶"

The 5th unit chief went closer to him and leaning forwards then said.

"I have something I want to ask you."(Yakumo)

"What is it?"(Yuuki)

Yakumo then got up to her ear and whispered.

"Is Slave-kun actually a technician who services Kyouka every night?"(Yakumo)

"Services?"(Yuuki)

"Sexual Services! You massage not only her shoulder but her breasts, maybe?"(Yakumo)

Yuuki thought about it more. They don't do it besides once a week since they are too busy training and handling the situation on Mato.

"No comment."(Yuuki)

Unless she becomes his then he won't share about it unless they wanted to share their relationship with him.

"Oh really? I would've been pretty interested in you if you were a technician."(Yakumo)

Yakumo smiled and began to place her hand on his body then said.

"Girls smell great and touching them is fun, but after taking a look at you, I started wondering how men are like…"

Her hands touched his face, intrigued at how Yuuki felt while he crossed his arms and asked something, wanting to make sure since manga isn't a reliable source unless it's about certain events.

"You don't have a lover?"(Yuuki)

Yakumo seemed surprised by the question then opted to smile and said.

"Nope, I don't think anyone has, with how busy they are."(Yakumo)

'That's where you're wrong but let's wait until the fruit is ripe.'(Yuuki)

He thought to himself like a beast looking at her next pret to devour and said.

"Then what is the change of heart?"(Yuuki)

"Honestly speaking, I only felt pity towards boys. Since they can't have special abilities except you. By the way,

How strong are you really? You've managed to fight all of us three chiefs even though it wasn't a fight to death. It was still shocking."(Yakumo)

"Have no idea."(Yuuki)

He doesn't know since it won't be one-sided at least considering Varvara still something he has no idea about.

"Oh well, keep your secret then. Anyway, as I was saying, I somewhat feel like I can loosen my guard around you. It's like a little brother Aura, I guess. How old are you again?"

"18. Are you an older sisterz Yakumo-san?"(Yuuki)

He was technically around fifty years old now, if adding his previous life. Yakumo immediately embrace herself and kissed the air and said.

"I am! I have so many little sisters. I chose this place as my source of income as the oldest sister. I used to mess around a lot with them, so I can't hold back on the skinship at all."(Yakumo)

"Okay…"

It was then Yakumo and Yuuki sensed everyone had left the onsen.

"Whoa! They're coming out of the bath! I'm going to appreciate their fresh out of the bath figures, so later!"(Yuuki)

She quickly left as Yuuki chuckled seeing her go.

'What a free person... She really is like the wind.'
