Chapter 24.2

A special chapter from the second volume of the manga.

## Summary

Yuuki Wakura massages Shushu Suruga who has grown to giant size with Paradigm Shift. Yuuki asks why she grew giant and she replies that it allows him to better hit her pressure points.

Later, while carrying laundry, Yuuki runs into Himari Azuma who gives him more clothes to wash and asks when he starts his Slave training. Yuuki replies that he will start in an hour and Himari asks him to make her some ramen before then.

Yuuki continues to do more chores, bemoaning that there isn't enough time to do all of them. After finishing the laundry, he checks in with Nei Ookawamura who had been watching him with her Promise ability. She informs him that now would be a good time to clean the baths since no one is using them.

Later, Yuuki suits up in training gear and meets up with Kyouka Uzen, who has just killed a Shuuki, outside the 7th Unit dorm. Yuuki and Kyouka then engage in hand-to-hand sparring, but Yuuki remains mainly on the defensive due to Kyouka's intense assault. After finishing training, Yuuki tells Kyouka she can use the hot springs, but she replies she has a lot of paperwork to finish. Yuuki protests, claiming that Kyouka is working too hard, to which she replies that she took a day off three weeks ago (during which she only did physical workouts). Kyoka explains that she feels sick if she isn't kept busy and that Yuuki himself should rest.

Later, Yuuki gets a call from his classmate Hattori who asks how he is doing in Mato. Yuuki explains that he is being worked really hard and is finding it hard to stand out amidst all the incredible members of the Anti-Demon Corps. Abruptly, Kyouka appears and informs Yuuki that a swarm of Shuuki have appeared around a Gate. Heeding the call to action, Yuuki transforms into his Slave form with Kyouka riding on top of him.

Yuuki and Kyouka quickly arrive at the Gate and destroy the Shuuki that have gathered. Yuuki alerts Kyouka that some have gone through the Gate, which causes her to recall her traumatic past. In the human world, one of the Shuuki appears before a small boy, but Yuuki goes through the Gate and stops the Shuuki before it can attack. Yuuki tells the boy not to worry and he pulls the Shuuki back into Mato. Kyouka then destroys the Shuuki and the Gate breaks apart.

Back at the 7th Unit dorm, Kyouka receives confirmation there were no casualties from the Shuuki attack, which pleases her and Yuuki. Yuuki offers Kyouka a towel, but as the Slave reward activates, Kyouka begins to strip and tells him to wipe her down instead. Yuuki is hesitant, but Kyouka fiercely orders him to comply so the reward can be completed. As Kyouka strips to her underwear, Yuuki wipes off her sweat and Kyouka observes the reward is likely related to the "slave's" latent desires. She begrudges that she has had to give these kinds of rewards since making Yuuki her slave. As Yuuki wipes her, he notices that Kyouka is covered in small wounds and tells her she should take care of them, but she replies that are from training and she is used to them. Impressed by Kyouka's determination, Yuuki himself becomes determined to help her with his whole body and soul. After Yuuki finishes wiping, the reward is apparently finished and Kyouka gets up to leave. However, the reward is still active and Kyouka gives Yuuki a kiss, finally finishing the reward. Yuuki thanks Kyouka, but she says that giving a reward is no different than playing with a dog, though she is secretly still mortified by the experience.

Later, while Yuuki is cleaning dishes, Nei informs him that he has received a thank you letter from the human world, much to his surprise. Yuuki reads the letter and finds that it is from the boy he saved during the Shuuki attack. Yuuki is surprised, believing that the boy would have mistaken him for a Shuuki, but Kyouka suggests that, in that moment, he must have looked like a hero to the boy. Yuuki is elated and Kyouka declares that will continue to work to eradicate the Shuuki.
