Chapter 65 - Tired

The next day, everyone had their Chief Assembly where every chief had been gathered. Ren was looking at her laptop where she was reading the report of everyone and how much they learn from exchanging pointers from other units.

"The results of our joint training seem to be great. Let's do it again when another opportunity appears."(Ren)

Bell looked at Ren and noticed something was bothering Ren that was clearly Yuuki who had been plaguing her mind after the humiliation that she had to endure despite how stoic she may look.

'Her mood looks reeeeeeally bad! The air. Become the air. So she doesn't notice me.'(Bell)

She tries her best to lower her presence and thought about Yuuki worried about what happened to him. Yuuki hasn't personally trained her and had been chatting being the light in her life.

He was her escape in the dreadful reality and Yuuki plans to change it once she visits their Unit or once he has time to visit.

"By the way, Kyouka."(Ren)

Ren called out getting her attention and said.

"Where is Yuuki Wakura? I gave you orders to bring him with you, did I not?"(Ren)

She wanted to get her revenge and discipline once more but unfortunately Yuuki was not present.

'Yuuki-kun. Did she get interested in you? ...That's going to be rough.'(Tenka)

"He's exhausted from the training with the tenth. He can't do anything in the state he's in."(Kyouka)

It was not even training and allout death battle resulting in Yuuki coming face the huge backlash from pushing his body and using [ Limit Removal ].

Not only that, the mental fatigue coming from his clone was astronomical that he had to rest even with his healing factor and tenacious nature.

"Slave-chan's got it bad huh!"(Yakumo)

Kyouka simply ignored much to her amusement while Ren was extremely disappointed that she didn't get the chance to discipline him but didn't lose hope.

"...I see. In that case, Bell, you will be staying behind."(Ren)

Bell felt like she was stricken by a lightning look at Ren then came to realization as she looked horrified while the Chief Assembly came to an end and Kyouka walked beside Tenka through the corridor.

"Kyou-chin."(Tenka)

"Hm?"(Kyouka)

"You learned how to lend Yuuki-Kun, right?"(Tenka)

"I did but didn't expect for things to be this way. Yuuki is unexpectedly exhausted."(Kyouka)

*Yeah. This is the first time I heard he's tired and I feel bad for him. If anything comes up, the sixth will help you, so please let him rest."(Tenka)

"I'll keep that in mind. I'm surprised you didn't ask me to lend him to you."(Kyouka)

*As much as I am curious about the result, I don't want to push our Yuuki."(Tenka)

Kyouka simply nodded, having a different sense towards those that had been with Yuuki and slept with him. She ponders if this is one of his hidden abilities and decides to ask him when she gets the chance.

"Chief Uzen."

A called out to them and made both Tenka and Kyouka turn around to see the 9th Unit chief, Fubuki Azuma..

"There's something I wish to discuss with you."(Fubuki)

============

Yuuki ponders how long has it been since the last time he was in a state where his body demands rest where every muscle fiber and bones ache in pain. He may be resilient and have incredible endurance doesn't mean he's invincible or unkillable.

He has limits and needs to keep in mind or else he would find himself collapsing, unable to fight and improve. Yuuki can clone himself and revive himself though it doesn't mean he can repeat it in a quick session.

At the moment, Yuuki was getting a message from Himari wearing his work out tank top. Himari had an amazing way of moving her hand that felt natural and already started to feel his muscle loosen up.

"Everyone has my thanks for taking turns doing this... I've recovered alot"(Yuuki)

"I want you to get back to work soon, after all... Don't forget you also have your training with me."(Himari)

"Yeah. Maybe we shouldn't hit him more often."(Yuuki)

"By the way, how did this happened anyway?"(Himari)

She simply giggled happy that her lover was enjoying himself and felt hot feeling his broad shoulders. Himari was simply thirsty and wanted him. As she was about to attack Yuuki heard someone.

"I'm back."

Hearing this immediately took Himari out from naughty thoughts and turned to greet the person.

"Chief! Welcome ba-"(Himari)

She turns around expecting it to only be Kyouka but is shocked to find Fubuki Azuma, her mother in front of her.

'She has finally come here...!'(Himari)

She stared down at her mother who had a cold gaze while she scowled, preparing herself for the worse.

"Step aside, Himari."(Fubuki)

Himari was pushed aside by her mother as Fubuki suddenly flipped Yuuki on his back then proceeded to sit on top of him.

"You're not used to handling the body."

She lifted her shirt before making Fubuki pause then looked impressed at his chiseled body that had been honed and refined in countless hours of training and dedication.

'Hmm?'

Fubuki noticed a scar on his chest and looked at Yuuki suspiciously but didn't say anything and decided to find the answer later.

She saw him but recalling he had clone ability made her suspicion clear but decided not to think about it since he is now serving the anti-demon corp anyway.

"This is not an ability but rather…"

She simply continued talking to Himari and place both of her hands in his chest then let her hands do the work.

[ The great Azuma's massage ]

"Uah!?"(Yuuki)

He was always curious what it felt when the former Yuuki experienced this and was not disappointed as his body's fatigue seemingly vanished and gradually felt better.

" …Damn, my fatigue is going away."(Yuuki)

"I'm continuing. Relax."(Fubuki)

She continued while Kyouka was observing how she had done it.

"I see. So that's how you move your hands."(Kyouka)

"This is a technique born to heal the fatigue that builds up from having little time to rest."(Fubuki)

She explained the technique that Yuuki instantly memorized as he simply enjoys her hand works then Fubuki called out Himari.

"Himari. The "Azuma banquet" will begin soon."(Fubuki)

Himari's face sweatdropped and anxious upon hearing her mother's words.

'The "Azuma Banquet"...! The battle to decide the next head!' (Himari)

"After seeing the first unit's change of chiefs, Mother said it is time for Azuma to begin its next era. Normally, I would succeed as her Daughter, but there, strength as an Azuma will be the determining factor…"

Fubuki twisted Yuuki's body where he had the chance to feel her all over him. He could feel his bones cracking and release its tension.

"The Azuma Banquet will be held in five days. We'll be taking days off to gather in the Azuma residence. I've talked to the chiefs of each unit about this."

She had her legs wrapped around Yuuki and continued to help ease the burden on his body. Himari was watching her mother be all over her boyfriend and felt slightly annoyed by it. Though, she was confident that Yuuki will desire to pursue her because she knows him quite well but didn't think too hard because her mind is in another place.

"Wait a second!"(Himari)

Fubuki shifted her gaze and coldly glared at her daughter hearing her tone.

"I'm not going. I don't even want to see the Azuma House. Go ahead and do it! Whoever becomes the next head has nothing to do with me!"(Himari)

Her mother finish her massage and stood up looking straight at her who didn't back down despite her tense expression.

"Himari... Won't you take a bath with me?"(Fubuki)

Himari couldn't help but lean back in surprise hearing her request.

"No thanks!"(Himari)

Fubuki sighs, then kneels down and suddenly grabs Himari by her right thigh touching it.

"Hyah!?"(Himari)

"You have good muscles. You've been developing them well. But you still suffered severe injuries. Your weaknesses become lethal when they really matter. The number of people who will get hurt protecting the weak Himari will grow, similar to what happened to Yachiho."(Fubuki)

Yuuki frown hearing this but the emotion that Fubuki had was clear and didn't say anything believing that Himari can handle herself.f

"Don't decide that by yourself!"(Himari)

"If you keep on fighting, before you drag the Azuma name through mud... As your mother, I will put you down."(Fubuki)

Fubuki released her pressure into Himari as the other felt that her words were not empty and will become a promise while Yuuki stood up walking to Himari's side as he saw her clench her fist tightly then said.

"If you don't want that, participate in the banquet... And show your strength" is what you're saying...? Fine! I've planned on bringing the Azumas to their knees, anyway!"(Himari)

Fubuki impressed by how far her daughter had come, glanced at Yuuki who had his arms crossed then said.

"I'll be looking forward to especially how Wakura-san praise you for having a talent that I supposedly wasn't able to see."(Fubuki)

Himari glanced at Yuuki happy that he thought highly of her and stepped forward holding her shoulder then said.

"It simply because all of you are narrow minded."

They were surprised at his tone but it's to be expected coming from Yuuki then continued.

"Like the old saying goes, "The razor blade is sharp but can't cut a tree. The axe is strong but can't cut hair. Everyone is important according to their own unique purpose. Never look down on anyone, unless you are admiring their shoes."(Yuuki)

He unleashed his own pressure that surprised Fubuki and felt familiar, finally was 80% confident that he was who she suspected he was and simply smiled. Time passes and Fubuki leaves the 7th unit as Tenka, Shushu, Nei, Himari, Kyouka, and Yuuki in the main room.

"I haven't talked with people from the ninth unit much."(Shushu)

"You don't have to if it's not for work."(Himari)

"They're a great family with strong ties to the history of the Anti-Demon corps... Worth mentioning is Tobera-san, who was formerly a Commander. Is she a demon, or a human…"(Tenka)

"You sure get along with the Azumas."(Kyouka)

"They left their precious daughter in my hands, after all. So I'm also good at things like getting along with my neighbors."(Tenka)

She winked at Yuuki and gave a bright smile in response.

"You're really amazing, Tenka-san."(Yuuki)

"...You seem to be in much better shape, Yuuki-kun.(Tenka)

"My form with the commander made my mind go completely blank…it was kind of great fighting myself."(Yuuki)

All of his girls look at him worried and worried that he might do something careless again.

"Lending is going to be difficult if there's a chance the form he takes is dangerous."(Tenka)

"You're absolutely right! I'm no longer going to lend him that easily! I believe it best to focus on his current form! That's the best path."(Kyouka)

"Relax, I believe it has to do with the person you lent it to that affects the outcome."(Yuuki)

"You only said that because you want more girls to be around you."(Kyouka)

"I won't deny that. However, I am just saying. Anyhow, I think I'll be alright when I'm fully healed during the joint training. Also thanks to Fubuki-san, my body became relaxed and it was really amazing."(Yuuki)

Yuuki mentions it then realize what he had done and look at the girls who looking at him.

"I've seen her hand movements. I think I can do it too."(Kyouka)

"I will also learn it, as a chief."(Tenka)

"Nei also wants to master it!"(Nei)

"Me too, me too."(Shushu)

"Wait—"(Yuuki)

The next thing he knew he was on the floor where Tenka took his right leg and Kyouka raised her left while Shushu was on top of his chest and Nei on his right hand. Meanwhile, Himari didn't join the fun and was lost in her thoughts.

"...she wasn't egging me on when she said she'd put me down. The Azumas will do it."(Himari)
