Chapter 58: Bold

"Incredible... It's more beautiful than I thought."

Murmuring, Segai examined the multiple security cameras. He also witnessed Yuki colliding with the Endlaves, but he was astonished when Yuki's body disappeared. The high speed at which he moved compelled Segai to watch the footage in slow motion.

He was incredibly fast!

There was no doubt; he was a superhuman.

The first on the planet. Segai's fake eye spun wildly in response.

"Yes! This is what I wanted!" Raising his hands, Segai couldn't help but be fascinated by Yuki's existence.

-------

[How on earth did you do that?]

"Is that something you'd ask now?" Approximately 10 kilometers from GHQ's base, Yuki rested. The internal doors were a significant burden on his body. Despite using only one gate, Yuki felt awful; a small part of his body even began to crystallize. But it was expected – internal gates literally caused his chakra to explode.

Yuki wasn't worried; he knew a break would restore him.

[You're right... But seriously, you're an idiot.]

There was a bit of warmth when Tsugumi uttered those words.

[What could we do If you really get trapped in that cage!?, you'd be a guinea pig! Understand?! They'll kill you to uncover the secrets of your body! Do you get that?! ... You're a fool.]

Despite always being a cheerful person, Tsugumi was very angry. She watched as Yuki was reckless, even though she knew he wasn't weak and definitely not an ordinary person. She couldn't help but worry. After all, she was afraid that the little figure she always found in the kitchen in the mornings would disappear.

"Don't worry, there's no way I'll let myself get captured... At least not today. I have a date with a very beautiful lady; I wouldn't be a man if I kept her waiting, don't you think?"

Yuki smiled at the end of those words, although hidden by his mask, he still glanced at the small robot Funell.

[Idiot...]

On the other side, Tsugumi couldn't help but blush, wondering how this guy had such a sweet mouth and how he could find the right moment for it. She was genuinely starting to fall for that sweet talk.

But that didn't seem so bad; it felt really good.

"Are you ready?" Looking at Gai, Yuki assisted. This was their meeting point. Taking the unconscious Kenji from the floor, Yuki followed Gai.

Gai looked at Kenji and couldn't help but shake his head; he genuinely sympathized with his situation.

Gai, like everyone in Undertaker, watched as Yuki carried Kenji like a sack of potatoes and took him out of there.

Especially when Yuki increased his speed, it was at that moment when Kenji's body couldn't withstand the wind pressure and he fainted. Not everyone had Yuki's absurd physique, after all.

"Yuki..." looking at him with worried eyes, Inori inspected his body before letting out a sigh of relief. She knew about Yuki's body condition; all that physical effort Yuki put in wasn't a joke, especially since Yuki's body crystallized every time he used his powers.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Nodding, Yuki looked at Inori, who had an expressionless face, but Yuki could see the concern in her gaze. This warmed his heart.

"Okay..."

Bringing her body close to Yuki's, Inori rested her head on his shoulder.

A little surprised, Yuki raised his eyebrows before smiling; he understood what Inori wanted.

Removing the Anbu mask, Yuki allowed Inori to bring her face closer before giving him a warm kiss on his lips.

Due to the slight height difference, Inori leaned a bit before kissing him. This was the first time Inori took the initiative; she wanted to follow Yuno's advice and catch the enemy off guard.

It's a shame that Yuki wasn't caught off guard, but Yuki wasn't going to say no to this.

Although it was short, Yuki tasted the sweet flavor of Inori's lips. Separating a bit, Inori, a bit embarrassed, looked away; she no longer had the courage to look at Yuki.

*Cough, cough*

"Do you mind?" faking a cough, Gai looked at the lovebirds and felt hurt. He didn't know since when, but Inori was changing, gradually showing the qualities a girl her age should have.

However, seeing this, Gai couldn't help but vaguely remember a pair of kids from his childhood, a pink-haired girl and a brown-haired boy.

"Umm."

Still embarrassed by how bold she was, Inori didn't look at Gai even once. This made Yuki smile.

"Yes, let's go!" Taking Inori's hand with his, Yuki walked towards Gai. This was a very rare sight, as one arm carried Kenji, and with the other, he held Inori's hand.

As for Tsugumi? She watched everything since Funell was present. She observed everything in silence. Although surprised by Inori's boldness, Tsugumi also understood it, like Inori claiming what was hers.

Her eyes shimmered a bit before smiling bitterly; she was jealous.

------

The sky had darkened.

While GHQ was in chaos and for Guin the worst day of his life, as they discovered he uploaded the virus.

Undertaker was happy; they celebrated the success of this mission. No one was injured, and there were no casualties. It was the first mission in which there were no sacrifices.

"Yukiiiii! This is all thanks to you!"

Placing a hand on Yuki's shoulder, Argos smiled widely. He was drunk, and he wasn't the only one; 90% of their members were drunk.

"Hey~ Gai... Gai..."

Even Ayase was drunk, making Tsugumi sigh.

Although they initially wanted to give alcohol to Yuki, Tsugumi didn't allow it. Yuki was too young, making many disappointed.

"Yuki~" But this didn't stop Inori from drinking; she tightly embraced Yuki's body, burying her face in his chest.

Seeing her, Yuki just smiled. Releasing stress and celebrating a victory was the best they could do.

After all, they were terrorists, and now they had to be cautious around everyone because of their presence.

"Alright, let's go to sleep."

Looking at her flushed face and sleepy eyes, Yuki carried Inori in his arms like a princess. Of course, Inori didn't resist; on the contrary, she hugged his neck tightly.

Watching the couple leave, Tsugumi followed them with her gaze before doing the same with Ayase, taking her to her room.

-------

Laying Inori on her bed, Yuki affectionately stroked her head.

"Yuki... I... I..."

With heavy eyes, Inori looked into Yuki's eyes. There was something she absolutely wanted to say, but the words wouldn't come out.

"I... I..."

"It's okay; we'll talk tomorrow."

It's a shame her body was so heavy and tired that she couldn't help but close her eyes.

"Sleep, my beautiful lady."

Kissing her forehead tenderly, Yuki covered her with the sheet. It was unusual to see Inori drunk, but it wasn't an unpleasant sight. After all, Inori looked vulnerable and defenseless.

It was a pity, but Yuki couldn't stay with her tonight. There was a lady still awaiting his visit.

With that in mind, Yuki turned off the lights and left the room.
