Chapter 82 - Past

I won't know when I'll update again since Monday would be the start of my 3rd year in college and I might be too busy to write but I'll try my best to post when I can.

I'll update Crimson Monarch more often than this since I have more content to work with but I'll still do everything I can to write a chapter.

Anyway, until then, enjoy this slice of life. Speaking of, the next chapter centers around it so as not to rush to the next battle arc.

11:00 Am

Shushu had always been sheltered by her parents and siblings. The only man that she interacted with on a daily basis is her father and even then she rarely interacted with her father due to his job. This made her extremely curious towards men and the moment he met the first boy, Yuuki Wakura, that caught her eye tried to seduce him and finally satiate her curiosity.

He was handsome and charming but his somewhat rough and sometimes scary vibe. She was surprised when he showcased unbelievable strength and was shocked to learn he has an ability despite being a man. Eventually, her impression changes the more she interacts with him, learning that he's more playful and laid back but also often gives motivation like their chief.

Shushu grew infatuated when he saved him during her struggle and taught her to be better. His training was rather brutal but he was patient and taught them a way that was easy for them to understand. She realized how weak she was the moment he trained with that person.

There were many things she found out about herself namely how naive her thinking and reliant she was using her ability. Yuuki was a man who thought outside the box and helped her discover things about her ability, learning that she can resize objects that she touches, not just herself.

Though she got training from their chief but most were body strength and the combat skills didn't suit her. This is where Yuuki shines despite having the ability to perform unique and unbelievable martial arts. Shushu learns a martial art called [ Ssamsu Taekkyeon ], a form of martial art from Korean martial art called Taekkyeon.

She was always being taught [ Silat ] since it best suited her way of fighting; having both long and close quarter combat helps her utilize every ounce of her strength. Shushu was far from being an expert considering she also trained in Bo Staff martial art called [ Hanryang Style Pumba ] but through the help of Yuuki was able to progress rapidly like her close friend Himari.

Of course, Shushu wasn't training all day or hunting Shuuki but also spent time to know more about Yuuki who she found out to be the owner of an extremely wealthy company that owns a lot of business yet he didn't brag and often acted like normal. She was shocked after finding out and was spoiled by him if she wanted to, but her desire isn't material, and spending more time with him is enough.

He learned a lot about himself from his family and his missing sister. She was happy that he was able to find him and be reunited since she couldn't understand how it feels to lose a family member.

However, it was a strange thing to learn that his sister has a relationship with him and this made her have mixed reactions. Speaking of, there are multiple women that have grown interested in him after the things he had done to them namely their chief, Kyouka, her friend Himari, chief Tenka, and many more.

She was unsure how to feel to see many women around the man that she was interested in but Shushu knew that she can't let her chances come to pass even if he might have multiple women because of the ability of their chief. It was frustrating at first but eventually came to accept it and form a relationship with him. Unbelievably, she was happy and can share things with them because most of those around him are her friends and comrade. In addition, he would inform them in advance if he ever adds more.

"Hey." A deep voice came and turned to see a tall young man with medium length black hair and two prominent white hair strands from his center hairline, at his widow's peak. He had a lean physique that wasn't too bulky nor too small exuding a manly fighter demeanor.

"You know I was just teasing about our bet." He said as they walked through the streets. Yuuki wasn't really intending to make her do things that she was uncomfortable with because they haven't been in a relationship that long; it's been three months or more.

"Or are you mad about Tobera-chan and Fubuki-san?" Yuuki asked, considering it was fine if they are still mad seeing him knock them up when they haven't completely established a proper relationship. Though he didn't expect Tobera to revive his seed, it was still his fault for being neglected and he refused to abort his child.

"Kind of? I'm not sure, to be honest, everything about you is strange, and using common sense won't work." Shushu bluntly said thinking about her feelings in the matter and didn't feel angry, simply perplexed.

"...you make it sound like I'm some kind of alien." Yuuki said, crossing his arms while Shushu blankly looked at him.

"Are you not? You did say you're from another universe." She gave a cheeky smile and giggled seeing his reaction.

"Then again if you want to compensate for what you did then let me be in control." Shushu saw the opportunity and didn't hesitate to take it. She was curious about how it feels when in control. Yuuki sighed and began to gently pull her cheeks.

"....you cheeky girl. Fine, just this once." Yuuki would have refused if he was his old self but he is different and happy to indulge them a bit. But won't do anything too drastic. Shushu simply giggled and wrapped her around his arms.

"To be honest, I was just thinking about it from the time we first met till now. I still find it strange that I'm in a relationship with someone who has other women and would have more in the future." Shushu said, making Yuuki look at her.

"Tell me honestly, why did you want to have more women?" Shushu was curious and felt there was more reason for it while Yuuki rubbed his chin and fought for an answer taking a few minutes to reminisce about his past.

"Because I want a big family and to be a better parent than my other life father ever did. Someone like my current father." Yuuki never thought about it and was somehow confident it was lust but he had matured enough that he came to realize that what he was seeking was a family.

It was different in his previous life as he was drowned in countless battles and hunger for combat. He was like a savage beast. Friends from the gang street weren't family because they also feared him. Only the children were not. Shushu noticed how he was talking more freely and less restrained, acting more vulnerable around them. She couldn't help but think that he became more appealing than before.

"....what kind of father did you compare to your current one?" Shushu couldn't help but ask out of curiosity while Yuuki tried to remember his past, finding some difficulty to remember since he only got a perfect memory after getting his wish.

"....I do not resent him nor do I care much about what he did but he was a man of few words and more of action. He was a war veteran and suffered from PTSD that caused him to be neglectful but did everything to help me as I was a bloodthirsty child who was driven by violence." Yuuki remembered the time he almost killed another elementary student after his outburst. He grew addicted to the thrilling and exhilarating feeling of fighting.

His akin to a savage beast at the time, an Asura. This is the time when his father became distant and after finding out, forced Yuuki to train.

"He helped me control my strength as I was a natural born fighter and frankly it made me more dangerous but I have more control." Yuuki was somewhat ashamed of his past and how he found himself in numerous nonsensical battles. Shushu was carefully listening and started to understand him more.

"After that, my father taught me everything he could despite how brutal he was and the only person I couldn't beat." He wondered if his father actually tried his best to show how much he loves him in the best way he could at that time.

"Perhaps it was his way of showing how much he loved me but I didn't know at that time." He guessed that having Lex Luther's intellect helped him realize a few things about his past. Shushu hearing this couldn't help but smile.

"I think so too, even if he wasn't the best still tried to be there for you." Shushu held his hand which made him smile.

"How about your mother?" She asked while Yuuki looked up.

"Frankly, my mother was a lot worse, she succumbed to depression and drinking after losing her husband to war. Even if my father was there, he wasn't the same person that she married." Yuuki couldn't remember much about his mother and only saw her drowning in sorrow. Shushu somewhat realizes how lucky she is to have two older sisters and parents that are alive and well.

"Though, my life isn't all that dark since after fighting in the streets for my enjoyment I was able to be part of MMA and able to enjoy my life." He was only for the fight and hardly cared about money.

"Oh, that's why you're amazing at martial arts? Wait, how old are you when you die?" Shushu was curious but wouldn't feel that bothered if he was mentally older.

"I believed I was around 29? Adding all my years of experience then I'm around 47. I've been in MMA since I was 18 and stopped around 27. Never went to college considering I wasn't a genius at the time." Yuuki said and among other combatants, he was undefeatable considering he has experience fighting people who play dirty. He left because MMA has too many rules but only been in it to improve and fight long enough until he got bored.

"Wow, you're old." Shushu bluntly said shooting an arrow to Yuuki's heart.

"You didn't need to rub it in, you know? It makes me sound like a pedophile." Yuuki crumbled at the thoughts and Shushu giggled.

"Heheheh~ I'm happy to be able to see you more relaxed and open." Shushu leaned closer to his chest while Yuuki nodded.

"Because I trust and love all of you. My life in this world made me realize and appreciate many things." Yuuki for the first time was flustered and didn't have to hide how he truly felt. It is strange but this is how he is now. He is open to those he trusts and loves while laid back and playful to those he is interested in and ruthless to his enemies.

"Ah~ I love you too, Yuukey!" Shushu getting all over him making those they passed by feel jealous, especially men. Yuuki chuckled as he spotted a place to grab some lunch since he let Nei and Jarvis take care of the 7th unit dormitory while they had their date. They sat down to eat and took their order before continuing their conversation.

"Right, you already told us about your big sister but what about your mom and dad?" Shushu wanted to know more about his family and was eager to meet them.

"Ah, the funny thing is my father was also a martial artist and trained me and my sister at a young age. He also served in the Japan Self-Defense Forces and assisted the Anti-demon corp before settling in with my mother." Yuuki finds that his parents were like his previous one but has a different outcome.

"Woah, really!? That sounds amazing!" Shushu was surprised that his father had been a soldier. The Japanese army had been redundant due to the rise of Peaches and the Anti-demon Corps but they still exist as a reinforcement.

"As my mother, she was a normal housewife that was loving and kind but strict and frankly scary if pissed." Yuuki warily smiled when she and his sister often scolded him for getting hurt. Shushu noticed how he seemed genuinely happy talking about his family.

"I can see you really love your family." Shushu felt happy for him and thought how much his previous life was on the opposite side of his current one. Yuuki smiled then soon their food arrived and the two enjoyed their lunch until they continued their date before returning to their dormitory where he was taken by Kyouka for some training.
