Chapter 588: I Need to Do It Myself

The next morning, Kotori opened her eyes. She was quite tired from everything that had happened in the last few days. Ratatoskr's reports and the presence of Yuki kept her busy late into the night. She barely wanted to get out of bed, but since she now had other residents in her home, she forced herself to get up...

"Good morning. What would you like for breakfast?"

"Good morning, Kotori!"

"Hmm?"

To Kotori's surprise, when she came down from the second floor, Yuki and Tohka were already awake. Both were sitting at the table while Yuki pulled different dishes from his shadow.

Kotori blinked in surprise. She was used to being alone at home, so this felt a bit strange. Nevertheless, she still sat down.

"Good morning to you too..."

"Do you prefer waffles or cereal?"

"Eh? Ah, cereal is fine..."

"Yuki! Yuki! I want both!"

"Okay, Tohka, just wait a bit..."

It was indeed a strange morning at the Itsuka residence. A boy with two beautiful women, one of whom had a mini black hole in her stomach. Still, the three of them had a pleasant morning.

Until a few minutes later, Kotori frowned. As she was still half-asleep, she had forgotten something important.

"Where is Tokisaki?"

That's right, Kurumi had been missing. Kotori scanned the area but found no traces of Kurumi.

"Kurumi? Oh, don't worry about her, she'll be gone for a while..."

Yuki replied casually, but Kotori abruptly stood up at this.

"What did you say?!"

Kotori couldn't believe it. It had only been one night, but Kurumi had already escaped. This made Kotori break into a cold sweat. She had guaranteed that she would keep an eye on Yuki and Kurumi. Both spirits were time bombs in the world, and if not for Kotori, Kurumi, an evil spirit, might have ended up in jail. After all, Kurumi had killed over 10,000 humans, and Kotori was her overseer. Although she lacked confidence in her abilities, she decided to trust Yuki because this male spirit seemed to have information about her missing older brother...

(I got too comfortable! Damn it!)

Kotori felt like hitting herself for being so naive and believing Yuki's words...

"Where is she!?"

*Bam*

*Creakkk*

Hitting the table in fury, Kotori fiercely interrogated, but her blow caused Tohka's cereal to spill and fall to the floor, breaking the bowl.

"Yuki... my cereal... Yuki..."

Tohka's eyes welled up with tears, and she began tugging on the hem of Yuki's sleeve, hurt by the sight of her spilled food.

"It's okay, don't cry. I'll prepare more for you..."

Yuki sighed and pulled another bowl of cereal from his shadow.

"Don't ignore me!"

Kotori grew even angrier. Her fist began to tremble, and if it weren't for Yuki's danger, she would have been ready to hit him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you. As I said, Kurumi isn't here. To be exact, she isn't in this world..."

"Huh?!..."

Kotori was still confused, but Yuki continued talking.

"That's right, she's now in a different dimension, so you don't have to worry about her killing humans. She had her reasons for leaving..."

"A different dimension..?"

"Have you heard of the Neighboring World?"

---------------------

"Danna-sama, I need your permission... I wish to leave..."

This happened minutes after Yuki destroyed the DEM Satellite. Kurumi approached Yuki, who had Sister in his arms. Kurumi looked slowly at this woman and then at Yuki...

"Leave? Where to?"

Yuki frowned, not understanding why Kurumi wanted to leave now, let alone where she intended to go.

"Danna-sama, I am weak in my current state..."

"..."

Instead of answering Yuki's question, Kurumi sighed and clenched her fist. Learning that she had died in another timeline made Kurumi reflect on the future.

Even though she controls time, she knew the future is unpredictable and cannot be foretold, even with Zafkiel.

Therefore, she desired power, wanting to be stronger. Knowing that even if she accumulated all the spiritual power of all humans, it still wouldn't be enough to kill the first spirit hurt her pride.

She, who was stronger, was still powerless...

But she couldn't be blamed. Kurumi's spiritual power is one of the lowest among the spirits. She is originally a High Epic, while Tohka is a Low Tectonic, almost reaching the middle level.

The energy level was different, and the only reason she is dangerous is because of her time angel. Still, Zafkiel requires large amounts of energy, and although she is a Medium Technician, stronger than Tohka, she knew she could become stronger.

After all, the reason she had the lowest spiritual power of all the spirits was because she gave up part of herself...

Her Demon King....

Since Kurumi witnessed the power of Yuki's Demon King in the world of Toaru, she had been thinking about reclaiming her other half, which she had discarded...

Now the time had come for her to go after her Demon King. The danger in her world was quite high, and she didn't want to worry Yuki.

"I need power. I don't want to be a burden to Danna-sama, and it's time for me to reclaim it...."

"..."

Yuki remained silent, but he already knew what Kurumi meant...

"You know I can't let you go like this. We don't know if the first spirit might attack. I won't risk her attacking you..."

Yuki shook his head. It was too risky for Kurumi to separate. He didn't even know where the first spirit was, and if it attacked Kurumi while she was defenseless, she might not be able to protect herself and could die again, or worse, her soul could vanish...

"Danna-sama doesn't need to worry. The Demon King is in the other dimension, the Neighboring World. Besides..."

Placing a hand on her chest, Kurumi smiled and slowly lowered her neckline, revealing the partner's mark on her chest...

"Danna-sama is with me..."

That's right. Since he received information from the other timeline, Yuki made sure to send one of his clones to Kurumi's partner mark, as the crown couldn't protect her against the first spirit. He hoped his clone would serve as cannon fodder for Kurumi to escape if the worst happened.

Yuki definitely wasn't going to risk his wife's life....

"We are currently under Ratatoskr's care."

"Oh? That's true, but I'm sure Danna-sama will help me find an excuse..."

Kurumi brought a hand to her lips and laughed. At the same time, she approached Yuki and rested her head affectionately on his shoulder...

"Please, Danna-sama, let me go. I need to do this myself..."

The grudge Kurumi held against the first spirit was so great that she wasn't going to rest until she killed her with her own hands...

"...."

Yuki slowly closed his eyes and considered his options. The possibility of Kurumi being in danger was low. With the first spirit's personality, if she had the option to attack, she would have already done so. But perhaps she couldn't because of his other 'self' from the other timeline, so Kurumi was safe for now. Even so, Yuki didn't get complacent. His shadow flickered and surrounded Kurumi. His Time clones quickly hid in Kurumi's shadow and the partner mark. He wouldn't let her go without an army of his past selves...

"The Demon King is strong. You must be careful. Even if you are stronger, you might face some challenges if you want to dominate it..."

"Yes, I know, Danna-sama..."

"You must send me a message every day."

"I will, Danna-sama.."

"Also, I will be watching through Rasiel. I won't allow more than that..."

"That's fine, Danna-sama..."

Kurumi snuggled up to him and began to kiss him. As always, her husband was so kind that Kurumi couldn't help but love him...

"Take care... If things go wrong, you must run. Use the Chat Room and leave this world..."

"Yes, I promise I will run if something happens..."

Kissing deeply, Kurumi and Yuki parted after a few minutes. Both took different paths, and Yuki could only sigh. Unlike Kurumi, who discarded her Demon King, the other spirits still had the danger of inversion, which gave him a headache just thinking about these inverse spirits. After all, the power of such spirits is more than double that of their normal state...

If Kurumi managed to subdue her Demon King, her strength would increase significantly, perhaps even breaking through to the next level....

TN: hmm her inverse mode where she has white hair...?

Also send some hot kurumi pics that I can use as cover picture...
