Early morning at Yuragi-sou, Kimihito's room.
'White?' he thought about what he saw when he woke up.
Like yesterday, Kimihito immediately carried out his morning ritual activities. After getting up quietly without waking Yuuna, he washed his face to feel fresher and headed for the living room to have breakfast.
Since last night, Kimihito has continuously used his two techniques, Awakening Breath and Compass Needle. It felt like sleeping with Awakening Breath made his body fitter and more robust. Sensing such a change, he decided to continue using it non-stop, especially Awakening Breath. However, he might deactivate the Compass Needle at any time.
Clack
Opening the living room door, he saw Chitose was already there alone, enjoying her hot tea. "Morning Chitose-san."
"Morning Kimihito-kun."
"Wait a minute, I'll get the breakfast." As soon as he entered the living room, she immediately got the breakfast set for him.
"Itadakimasu."
Shortly after his breakfast came, Kimihito began to eat it quietly. With Yuragi-sou's calm atmosphere, it felt like he was at home here.
After finishing all his breakfast, Kimihito immediately headed out to do some practice today. Still the same as yesterday, he would train using the method he discovered yesterday. When he reached Yuragi-sou's entrance, he saw Sagiri who wanted to go out.
"Oh! Sagiri?"
Sagiri reflexively looked back after hearing someone familiar voice from behind him. "Kimihito?"
"Hmm? Are you going to practice?" he asked, seeing Sagiri currently wearing a white karate gi.
"...That's how it is. I always do it every morning."
Hearing her answer, he said, "How about we go for a walk together? I will also train in the hills near here." He thought it would be more comfortable walking with someone than alone.
"Oh! It's rare to see you going to practice here." honestly, this was the first time she had seen him practice wearing such clothes.
"I've been practicing on my own since yesterday."
"I see..." It was nice to have someone else train in the same morning as her. At least it made her less alone.
When they were about to walk out together, Sagiri could clearly see Kimihito's lean muscular body even though he was covered in a black long-sleeved T-shirt. She didn't expect that he would have such impressive muscles. At first, she thought the man beside her would be like Nonko who loves sake.
'With a body like that... Could it be that Yuuna already...'
"..." she subconsciously blushed as she stared at him while walking beside him.
Kimihito could sense that Sagiri was looking at him or his body, "What's wrong, Sagiri?"
"W-what have you done to Yuuna?!" she shouted suddenly.
"Ha?"
"A-anyway, I won't forgive you if you hurt Yuuna." her words summed up everything she had thought about earlier.
Hearing Sagiri's words made Kimihito want to chuckle, but he tried to hold it in and just smiled. "Well... After all, I'm Yuuna's host. There's no way I could do that." Despite saying that, he knew that Yuuna might be the one to blow him away with her poltergeist power.
After a few minutes of walking together, they finally arrived at a T-junction. Kimihito would take the path to the right towards the hill where he trained yesterday, and Sagiri would instead take the way to the left to where she usually trained.
"Are you going there?"
"I was going to my training ground yesterday." even though he can actually train in other places that are pretty spacious, he can't damage many places because of the results of his training.
"Then I'll be passing this way." she was still happy that there were residents of Yuragi-sou who also practiced in the morning.
***
It's been a week since Kimihito intensive training has passed. He feels delighted with the results obtained after a week has passed. In his week of training, Yuuna also always brings lunch every around one o'clock in the afternoon. So he can remember when she will come and chooses to rest.
This week his relationship with Sagiri improved. Now she more accepted him as a man in the same room with Yuuna. Besides that, he also knows her character better. Sagiri is a tsundere girl or rather a tsundere ninja girl. He even thought she would be suitable if she worked at Cafe Stile as a maid with the Tsundere personality. But of course, that wouldn't happen because she was a Chuuma Ninja.
Talking about Chuuma Ninja, Kimihito understands more about the 'secret' organization from Sagiri. In addition, every night, she will work as a Ninja to exterminate evil spirits. The Chuuma Ninja's duties may not only be that they are also tasked with protecting peace in Japan, especially between supernatural creatures.
Back to Kimihito, he is currently training hard as usual, and this is his last day of training. After practicing today, he planned to start training with Bomb tomorrow.
Unlike the first day of training, Kimihito now looks like he's only sweating a little. In addition, the movement of his Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist is also getting better and faster than when he first learned from Bang and getting faster.
Now Kimihito's movement looks very calm, like a quiet river flow. But in fact, every move he launches is deadly and always hits the opponent's vital parts. All his movements were like a river that looked calm on the outside but a deadly stream of water on the inside.
In addition to improving his martial arts techniques, all aspects of his combat have also improved. His speed increased, and it also increased his decision-making speed in battle. He couldn't fight at high speed when his mind was still average, and his reflexes were lacking.
His eyes, the All-Seeing Eyes of God, also increased. If a week ago, he could only use his eyes active skill for 3 hours and added Wiz's contact lenses to 6 hours. But now, he can use his eyes without contact lenses for 5 hours and 10 hours when using contact lenses.
While practicing, he suddenly stopped his movements and thought, 'That's weird.'
Suddenly, Kimihito felt an odd feeling. It was already around 1 pm, but he didn't see or feel Yuuna's arrival. Even though he didn't bring a watch or smartphone when he practiced, he knew it was already 1 in the afternoon. And by now, Yuuna should have arrived at his training place. He believed in it because Yuuna had always been like that for this week.
Silent in the middle of practice, Kimihito began to look up at the sky and felt the sound of the trees blowing in the wind. ' I don't know why I feel like something bad will happen.'
Because he was worried and uncomfortable with Yuuna who hadn't come yet, he immediately activated his eye skill to check her condition.
Crack
BOOOOM
Just now, activating his eye power to look at Yuuna, Kimihito suddenly shot straight at high speed towards Yuragi-sou. Since he was now on top of a hill, it made him easier to get to Yuragi-sou further down.
"Tch... Wait for me, Yuuna!"
***
Yuragi-sou, before Kimihito, paused training.
"So that's the place… There's indeed a sinister aura coming from there…" muttered a man with the appearance of a monk while looking at Yuragi-sou from the outside.
The man is seen carrying a kind of stick in his right hand and a smartphone in his left hand, which opens a photo of a young man walking on the street with a book and a pen floating and a terrifying white figure beside him.
***
Meanwhile, in Kimihito's room. Yuuna seems to be preparing to go to his training place. She is currently preparing all the equipment that she will bring there.
"Lunch box... water bottle... chopstick," she muttered as she checked everything she was about to bring.
"Hmm... If I'm not mistaken, this is Kimihito's last training..." saying that, she remembered his words and felt a little sad because it was her last day preparing lunch for him.
Clack
When Yuuna was contemplating that, suddenly the room door opened. Since no one had ever entered here other than her and Kimihito, she assumed it might be another resident of Yuragi-sou. Besides, Chitose had also previously said that she would go out for a while right after they prepared lunch for him.
"Eh?"
Instead of Chitose, Kimihito, or the residents of Yuragi-sou arriving, there was a mysterious man dressed as a monk. Somehow she felt uncomfortable with the man's presence.
Cling
"Hmph!"
The mysterious man pointed his wand at Yuuna, and instantly his whole body was wrapped in a kind of blue light emanating from the man's wand.
"W-what is this?! Who are you?" she shouted as she tried to untie the blue light binding his body.
"I am Sekkan Tsujishouten, Gouma monk of the Gudon Clan."
"Gordon? Uh? Sorry, can you repeat it one more time?"
"...A poor spirit that still roams in this world. I will use my technique to make you rest in peace!" As soon as he finished saying that, the blue light seemed to bind Yuuna even more tightly.
"Aaargh!" she screamed in pain. Besides that, the entire edge of her clothes was torn apart.
Looking at Yuuna who was rippling in pain, Sekkan said, "You little girl! Don't you want to rest?!" he shouted.
"My best expulsion technique is forced rest, leave this world before you become an evil spirit, go to heaven and reincarnate again, you are free to choose your path again later!" he said to Yuuna who kept screaming in pain.
"Haa… haa… haa… No… I want…"
"Hmm?"
"I still want to be in this world. There are still many things I want to see and do!" instantly, her memory of Kimihito and others appeared in her mind.
"I still want to live together with Kimihito!"
CLANG
There was the sound of a window shattering behind Yuuna. LIt turned out that a black shadow caused the glass window to crash. Indeed, the black shadow was Kimihito coming straight through the window. Because the windows in his room were all closed, he had to break one of them.
'Better to come here sooner than regret later.' he thought as he continued to use the power of his eyes to observe everything going on in his room.
Since Kimihito already knew what and why it had happened, he quickly retrieved the dagger hidden in his room, an item he had first obtained from his gacha, the Inverted Spear of Heaven.
After getting it, he immediately slashed the blue light that bound Yuuna.
Bzzt...
In the blink of an eye, the blue light disappeared. Yuuna's pain from being bound by the blue light also disappeared.
"Kimihito!"
Sekkan was taken aback when his technique suddenly disappeared or instead was neutralized. "Why?! Why is my technique... How come? Who are you?!" he shouted angrily at Kimihito who suddenly appeared in front of him, and he was sure that Kimihito was the cause of all that happened.
"Who are you? You're not a spiritual expert! Why was my technique neutralized? Why are you interfering?!" a series of questions came out of Sekkan's mouth.
Meanwhile, Kimihito, still silent, started to look at Sekkan and said, "I'm just someone who can't stand still when I see other people get hurt, especially if that person is someone close to me. "
"Kimihito..." Yuuna became stunned after hearing Kimihito's words. She was happy when she was considered as someone close to him.
On the other hand, when Sekkan heard Kimihito's words, he immediately became furious, "For the living, there is nothing more immoral than siding with the dead!" he shouted while attacking Kimihito with his stick.
"Ha? The living, the dead? Who cares!"
'Very slow.' Kimihito thought as he easily dodged all the attacks from Sekkan.
After a while, Kimihito felt bored dodging all attacks from Sekkan. The current situation was like he was fighting a boy who was attacking him with all his might and perfunctory. It's a boring fight if he keeps dodging until his opponent runs out of stamina.
Jab
"Guargh!"
Feeling bored, Kimihito immediately launched a light punch to Sekkan's stomach. It wasn't that he didn't want to hit him with all his might, but if he did it, he was sure that Sekkan would really die. He didn't wish Sekkan to die and then become a ghost and bother him.
"Ki-Kimihito!"
"..."
Looking at Yuuna still floating beside him, he noticed her hands were shaking slightly. "Yuuna, are you all right?"
"Um."
" Don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you..." he said, holding her soft hand as he looked into her red eyes, trying to calm her down.
"Sob… sob… sob…." After Kimihito said that, suddenly, a sob was heard.
"W-why are you crying?"
"Hwaaa... Thanks... Kwimihitwo... HWAAAA..." she said as her tears kept flowing.
Kimihito smiled hearing that, then stretched out his hand and stroked her head gently to calm her crying.
