To Myself
She became even faster? Yose yells at her, "Hey! Be careful, if you keep doing that it will be bad for you!" Yose turns around to notice the sobbing sounds coming from the granny. "Please, help us..." she says between sobs. Yose immediately uses the talisman to get the old couple out of Naraka. He makes them go through the gate until it's closed again. He decides to stay in Naraka and make sure Yuki is unharmed. Meanwhile, Yuki yells before attempting to a slash. The slash connects with spider but her sword breaks in half. Yuki falls to the ground from the impact and looks at the ground. I'm out of talismans except for gate one, am I going to die here?
"Even if it costed my life, I would still try to help them without asking anything in return."
I will not watch you die, Yuki.
Yose walks in front of Yuki, he stands there to protect Yuki from harm's way. "Why are you still here?" she adds, "Why didn't you run away with the old couple?" "You said you have a legacy to look after. If you die, how are you going to do that exactly?" Yose takes a stance and speaks again, "I'll take it from here, create some distance." Spider begins it's attack once again.
Yose activates his metal arm, in a matter of seconds...The transformation has completed, the color turning same color as Yose's life-force energy. The spider curse stops the attack last second, starting to take a few steps back. The curse is afraid of his big shiny arm? Yuki thinks to herself. The spider curse is indeed afraid of Yose's metal arm. But not just the arm, but the aura emanated from it. Yuki is shocked by this, wondering if the spider has some kind of sense that allows it to pinpoint weaknesses in opponents. Yose walks forward calmly and confidently, his movements unhurried as he steadily approaches the spider. Yuki backs away from the spider as well, creating distance as Yose recommended. She can't help but be fascinated by his ability to stay completely calm in a situation like this, as if he has the situation under full control.
"I am sick and tired of having to face you creatures just to exorcise. What purpose does it serve? I don't get it, I will never get it. But if there is one thing I understand, I will be the one to stop each and every single one of you." Yose's words echo through Yuki's mind, her fascination growing with curiosity as she tries to parse the meaning behind them. She was born to fight curses and evil spirits, her family and ancestors had all followed the same path. The purpose behind it all, to protect those who cannot fight for themselves, was never a question for her. However, when faced with Yose's words, Yuki couldn't help but wonder if there was more to it than that. What could his purpose be, fighting curses and evil spirits? Yuki's thoughts are interrupted by the sudden sound of Yose's yelling voice. "I don't care anymore, I will exorcise you right here!"
Yose charges forward with a battle cry, his metal arm extended in front of him as he aims it directly at the spider curse. His attack is swift and powerful, striking at the spider with unbelievable force. As Yose strikes the curse, a bright flash of light fills the entire area for a few seconds. The explosion from the attack completely obliterates the spider, destroying it in an instant. Yose breathes heavily while walking back to Yuki due to the amount of force he had to unleash. Meanwhile, Yuki thinks to herself while watching him walk back to her. W-With a single blow...? She decides to speak, "Incredible, I have never seen something like this before." "Tell me you are not hurt." Yuki looks at him and answers right away, "I'm...not hurt" "Good." he says shortly and continues, "I don't consider my strength a gift, it's a curse." She walks close to him and steps on his foot. Yose immediately feels the pain speaks, "Ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,ow, stop! Are you doing it on purpose? You are doing it on purpose aren't you?" "No one, asked for your help." She continues, "I could've defeated that spider curse on my own." "Huh? Liar! You were about to die." "I was not about to die, you are seeing things." "Why the hell are you acting so tough all of a sudden, HUH?" Yose asks angrily while Yuki pouts and turns her head away.
