Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, a massive fireball with a diameter of dozens of meters formed in the sky. Controlled by Sora, it descended like a meteor from the heavens, crashing directly into the building!
BOOM!!!
The entire building shook violently, instantly engulfed in a sea of flames. If Sora hadn't been careful to avoid harming the ordinary people, that single strike would have been enough to obliterate the structure!
Although the people inside might have escaped, the multi-billion-dollar building wasn't so lucky. Even for a superpower family second only to MBI in the capital, this was a devastating blow.
"Higa Izumi, consider this a small punishment for now. Don't try to outsmart MBI again, or next time, people might die!"
Sora glanced coldly at the man in formal attire standing by the window, his face filled with rage. With a flap of his wings, he took off into the sky, carrying Shiina and Yukari with him.
"Higa-sama, the plan has failed! It's too dangerous here; we must leave immediately!" The secretary and a few Sekireis urgently advised Higa, who was trembling with anger.
The plan had seemed brilliant—forcing an alliance with "Demons and Death" would not only strengthen their side but also allow them to infiltrate MBI through Yukari's special status. However, they hadn't anticipated the sheer power of the Northern Ashikabi. He had set the building ablaze, taken the girls, and left them helpless to stop him.
"Northern Ashikabi… let's go!"
Higa's eyes were bloodshot, his handsome face twisted with jealousy and rage. But the threat to his life forced him to regain some semblance of rationality.
"Hahaha, burn it all! That bastard dared to lock me up? Burn his entire house to the ground!"
Yukari, who was naturally carefree, was overjoyed to see Sora burn down Higa's entire building. She forgot her shyness and began dancing in mid-air.
"Hey, hey, kid, calm down! If you fall, I'm not responsible!" Sora sighed, watching the girl who had no sense of ladylike restraint.
"Hmph! What's there to fear? You're my irresponsible dad; if I fall, you'll have to find me!"
With the danger gone, Yukari reverted to her tsundere nature. Perhaps she had come to terms with things, even starting to act coquettishly.
"Hey, brat, what do you mean 'irresponsible'? That's misleading!"
"Tch, what's misleading? It's the truth! What kind of dad abandons his wife and daughter for over a decade?"
"Huh? Kid, you need to be fair! I had no choice, and I came back to visit you often. You've never lacked for good food or fun on Earth!"
"Hmph! So what? With a dad like you, who turned into a shota to seduce his own daughter, I'm cursed for eight lifetimes!"
"And give me back the fatherly love I missed! Give it back!!"
"Oh, you little brat, it seems I haven't disciplined you enough lately. Fatherly love? Do you even need that?"
"Whether I need it or not, you owe it to me!"
"Tch, owe you nothing. Take this!"
"Wahhh… you hit me again! I'm telling Mom!"
"Your mom would sing 'Conquer' under me! Take this!"
…
The trio streaked across the sky like meteors, their bickering and teasing continuing unabated.
Shiina, hiding behind Sora, had mostly recovered. She occasionally peeked out, watching the two argue with a smile and a hint of envy in her eyes…
In the end, Sora didn't take Yukari and Shiina back to Izumo Inn but instead brought them to his own residence.
Yukari was a first-year student at Shintō Teito Women's University and had classes to attend. After forming a contract with Shiina, Sora had used MBI's influence to arrange a transfer for Shiina so she could attend school with Yukari.
The room wasn't large but was tidy and decorated with many girly accessories, exuding a youthful and lively atmosphere. Sora figured it was mostly Shiina's doing—Yukari's tomboyish personality didn't lend itself to such things.
Sora jumped through the window with the two girls, immediately pinning Yukari to the bed.
"Hmph! Kid, you've really pissed me off today. Looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson!" he said menacingly, looking at the defiant girl.
"W-what are you doing? I'm your daughter; you can't do anything improper!"
A flicker of panic crossed Yukari's eyes. While she admitted she liked Sora—a lot—the thought of their relationship made her hesitate.
She had wrestled with this dilemma countless times, even wishing she were her mother or anyone else. That way, she wouldn't face this painful choice.
Deep down, she knew their relationship was impossible, yet she couldn't help but go on dates and kiss him. Beneath her carefree exterior lay a heart full of pain and conflict.
"Don't worry, your dad is special. We're not related by blood."
With a sly smile, as if he had long known her struggle, Sora whispered something in Yukari's ear.
"No way, that's impossible!"
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Sora. If what he said was true, then this world and its people were nothing but…
Logically, she should feel sorrow for this world or herself. But for some reason, Yukari felt happy, as if a long-standing knot in her heart had been untied.
"Kid, you're beautiful today, just like your mom was in her wedding dress."
"So, I've decided—I'm going to devour you now."
Devour you… devour you… devour you…
Yukari's head spun as those words echoed in her mind. Before she could react, she felt his lips on hers.
She didn't struggle or resist, letting herself be swept away in a daze.
"Ah!"
Just then, a gasp came from the side—it could only be Shiina.
Shiina, being far more ladylike, had quickly gotten off Sora upon arriving home. She had stepped out to calm her racing heart.
As one of the room's occupants, she had intended to make tea for Sora. But upon entering, she was met with this scene!
Caught by Shiina, Yukari, who had been compliant, began to panic and struggle. Even she, with her thick-headedness, found this situation too embarrassing to be witnessed by her best friend.
But Sora had no intention of letting Yukari go, continuing to press her down.
And since Shiina had seen it, he might as well devour her too!
When Shiina came to her senses, her first instinct was to turn and flee.
But after taking just one step, she found herself unable to move.
Looking down, she saw a scarf had somehow wrapped around her, pulling her step by step back into the room!
This is the ability shared by Uzume. I used to think this ability was too feminine, so I didn't use it much. I never expected it to come in handy for something like this today!
In the end, under the extremely shy and nervous expression of Shiina, she was also pulled back onto the bed by Sora and pinned beneath him.
The sound of heavy breathing and moans filled the air, and even the moon blushed in embarrassment. With two cries of pain, the world lost two girls and gained two women.
This night was destined to be anything but peaceful…
