Chapter 26 - True feelings

Yachiho was trying to wrap her head around the fact that her body was flown away in the blink of an eye that she was barely able to see them move. it was nearly instantaneous and she almost couldn't move her body from the pain spreading through her body.

'What the hell….have you done out of nowhere!'

Yachiho thought of gritting her teeth until she instantly struck a pose and rewinded time. They were now back standing across each other. Yachiho released a breath which didn't go unnoticed by Himari

'She Tired...So she Turned Back time'

On the other hand, Yuuki seemingly unaffected by the time reversal and remembers it all having been brought back where Yachiho used her time reversal.

'I wonder how far this affects me?'

Yuuki thought to himself since it was like new information was poured in his mind the moment she reversed time like a memory. He concluded that it was due to having the same ability was able to not be affected by it, similar to Jotaro and Dio.

'Still, she managed to use her even after [ Branding ] well Himari already expected that if My Clone used my martial art then the fight was already over the moment she stepped on the ring.'

He thought to himself and continued to watch the fight. This time after getting the signal to begin, Clone Yuuki didn't do the same attack and jumped up in the air. His clone mostly listens to its master command. A clone is just a clone it doesn't have will nor Ego unlike the main body.

'Jumping into the air where you can't move was a stupid move.'

Yachiho thought as she pulled out her special handgun remodeled for Mato use.

'I'll Stop Time when they land and shoot them down.'

She thought pointing the gun at them while Himari anticipated this and immediately commanded the clone to attack.

"Now Yuuki!"

Yachiho Fired her gun at Himari and Clone Yuuki but they disappeared and reappeared and Used [ Branding ] as they struck Yachiho. She was shocked in disbelief but immediately struck a pose and Rewind time 5 Second's Ago.

'Not bad, still surprised she can move after that.'

Yuuki thought to himself, learning that she reversed time again. It was clear that she was slowly getting winded from the constant use of her ability.

'I Didn't expect him to kick the air to speed up, they got me by a hair.'

Yachiho thought to herself and she struck another pose and stopped time and the world went black and white again. Yuuki was aware of what was happening and tried to move, noticing that he was struggling but it was possible to move.

'Too bad, she won't be able to hurt them'

Yuuki thought as he watched her look for them but was shocked to see that they weren't there. She looked around and saw that they were out of her range in air.

'There changes their moves as I target them.'

Her face filled with frustration that her sister was actually close to winning. The 5 seconds completed and the time stop ended. Yachiho looked visibly a little tired and this was noticed by Himari.

'We made her waste an ability use'

She thought herself proud that her plan was working even though Yuuki can easily win if he goes all out but was only doing so to the extent that he has support. Not to mention, at the moment his base stats are lower than normal, still it wasn't much of an issue for him.

"Well keep going as planned Yuuki"

"Yeah!! Let's keep this up."

After they Landed Yuuki started to run circle's and make several after images around her. The speed was close or a bit slower than his [ Raiten Taiso ] and even more when he removed his limiter and used ultra instinct.

Everyone seemed amazed with varying degrees, from Kyouka proud seeing her friend showing what she made of, Shushu excitedly kicking Yachiho's butt while Nei cutely cheered with her banner sitting on original Yuuki's shoulder.

Tenka didn't seem bothered that her subordinate was on the losing side and more into the fact that Yuuki's clone was able to move that fast. Meanwhile her other subordinates were sleeping while standing.

"It's like he multiplied!!"(Nei)

"Blow! Her Away!!" (Shushu)

'He's pretty Amazing.'

Ginna thought and started to fangirl I've him like she did with the others while Original Yuuki and Kyouka just watched silently as the fight seemed to reach its climactic conclusion.

'She's only got a few uses of her ability left. Victory is ours as long as we make her waste her ability.'

Himaru thought to herself while Yachiho grinned at this knowing quite well what she was thinking of doing.

'....I bet that's what you're thinking right now, Himari!!! I've already seen through your plan!! I guess I'll just have to use my trump card. Now behold, your sister's strongest move!!'

Yachiho thought with a sinister smile.She reversed time once again and instantly struck another more chuuni like pose and stopped time. This time she stopped time for 10 seconds.

She looked at them suspended in the air away from her as she thought.

'If I only had 5 seconds you would be out of reach, but not now!! Prime Time!! By striking a supreme pose, the amount of time I can stop doubles!'

She started running towards them and shot several bullets at them. When the time stop ended, the bullets started going towards them at full speed which was noticed by the clone slave.

[ Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist ]

The clone instinctively moves, catching the bullet, shocking Yachiho and Himari as they land on the ground.

"Impossible! My growth is also that of a genius you shouldn't have been able to see through that!"

Yachiho was infuriated that her trump card was easily countered while Yuuki frowned that his clone actually use his martial art that he was most proficient in.

"Don't take it lightly on what I did, normally I don't use that kind of martial art but that's not important now."

He complimented her for pushing him that far and immediately prepared to use her time stop to continue their fight. Himari was amazed that he manage to save them from losing and appreciated his help.

"Don't get cocky, you haven't won ye—"

[ Branding ]

Before she finished her sentences was once again receiving their attack at full force and tried to attack but she already reached her limit and Himari's as pointed her gun at her before firing. At that moment, Yuuki sensed something far away, turned to look at the direction and found something interesting.

"Heeh Things are looking heated, let's observe for now."

The dark haired woman wearing a Kimono, Shikoku arrives with two individuals alongside her.

"Our enemies Might Increase the more the merrier."(Shikoku)

"I'll handle it this time you already have your rampage with the third Unit or something."

Said by a tall and stocky humanoid Shuuki, he appears with what looks to be an almost mask-like face. He is dressed in more Japanese battle-styled clothing with the left side being black and the right being white. He wears long sleeves, gauntlets, black chest armor with a series of white outlines, and a half-black-half-white hat.

Next to him was a tall dark-skinned young woman who has long light hair, black eyebrows that are cut rather shor. A pair of antler-like horns sat atop her head. A pair of elongated ears, and black markings that cover her stomach. She is rather naked aside from the white armor that covers her abundant chest, waist, in addition to gauntlets and greaves.

'I wonder how I'll be able to take her.'

Yuuki thought to himself seeing the strong tan girl and decided to put it aside pulling back his clairvoyance in case he got spotted. Meanwhile back in the fight, Yachiho couldn't continue anymore and had won the fight.

"We have a victory! Winner is Himari Azuma!!"

Ginna announced the 7th unit cheered with Kyouka smiling proudly watching them be healed by Ginna.

Himari went to celebrate with her unit looking at Yuuki who smiled at her as he dismissed his Clone.

"Hey Yuuki."

Himari looked at him as he went to check on her.

"Yeah."

"Thank you for helping me."

"You're welcome, like I said you're my friend."

".... Only a friend huh."

Himari whispered under breath that was obviously heard by Yuuki pondering why she would say it when they hardly knew each other. He worried that his luck with them was high and how often he ran his mouth that made them feel special was likely the reason why she started to develop feelings.

She hated to admit it but Yuuki had grown on her and began to admire his skills and willingness to be a [ Slave ] despite how he often mentioned disliking it. Though, there is the reward that she can't forget and had almost a tattoo of hickey all over her body seemingly wanting to mark her and can't even take a shower without thinking about it.

Wasn't this moving too fast? Indeed it is but if this was a dating game then Yuuki had chosen all the right answers. Himari started having wet dreams of him ever since she rewarded him.

"Come On."

Before they could leave, Yachiho stopped them for a moment.

"Wait, Himari!"

The two looked back to see Yachiho as she said

"I admit you got stronger, I'll treat you properly so you can come to the Azuma Estate!"

Himari Looked at her for a second then at Yuuki and the rest of the 7th unit and responded with.

"Yachiho my home Is the seventh unit no matter what you say I am not going Back."

Like a person has been shattered their dreams and so was Yachiho as she just froze up on the spot as Himari Leave

'Not to mention I found someone I like.'

Himaru thought to herself looking at Yuuki walking beside him asking what he felt after the fight. Meanwhile, Tenka and the other girl, Sahara Wakasa, a beautiful amply well-endowed young woman who has short hair that has a hair ornament on the right side of her hair.

She is dressed in the same uniform, albeit hers is more altered, it consists of a navy blue sleeveless unit, a red belt, high-high boots, and what appears to be wrestling briefs.

":...So you Froze Up."

Tenka teases her a bit while thinking about Yuuki and how he was able to predict and catch the bullet quite easily. She wondered what kind of power he wields and how much he trained.

"Yacchi You See~the way you show your feelings is Odd~"(Sahara)

"It's harder than you think!"

Inside the dorm, Himari thanks Yuuki for helping her defeat her sister as she gives him his Slave reward and begins to Kiss him more intimately that Yuuki didn't need his emotional sense to know her feelings.

"It seems to have started."

Her face was rather adorable when Yuuki pulled her closer, which surprised her hearing the beat of his heart and said.

"Without you I won against my sister So Thank You."(Himari)

"Himari…"(Kyouka)

"These Words are not part of your reward, this is how I really feel."(Himari)

Yuuki was able to see her serious face that was more beautiful than her usual tsundere demeanor but it does have its charm especially when teasing her.

Himari then kissed Yuuki again and bit his lip but this time she didn't hold back normally and would look at him with disgust but her feeling was more straightforward and acting bold. Was this his luck? Is it the [ Probably Manipulation ]?

All he did was share a few words and trained with her yet the impact it gave to her was enough to change her entire view of him and her feelings blossomed into something else.

"That was…"

Her face was heating up filled with confusion and annoyance, not at him but rather on what she was feeling at the moment. Her common sense was telling her that it was normal to feel this way while her heart was being pulled hard each time.

Himari tried to deny it by every time his words of encouragement would resurface and reignite her feelings. It was eating away her mind trying to think why he was facing this dilemma.

"....why do I keep feeling this way towards you…ever since we started I can't rid you from my mind. Tell me…did you do something to me?"
