Chapter 44

**A Slave's Master** is chapter forty-four of the *Mato Seihei no Slave* manga.

## Summary

Yuuki Wakura and Kyouka Uzen sleep together per the condition's of Yuuki's Slave reward. Unfortunately, Yuuki cannot sleep due to the anxiety of being with Kyouka, which she discovers. If Yuuki does not sleep, his fatigue won't go away and the reward won't be fulfilled. In order to resolve this, Kyouka grabs Yuuki and begins to stretch his body in painful positions. She tells him she is doing it to remind him that she is his master. He protests that he already knows that, but she reminds him of how he listened to Aoba Wakura's orders instead of her. Yuuki apologizes and tries to concede, but Kyouka sees that he is resisting. She deduces he must have suffered wrestling moves from his sister as well. Kyouka puts Yuuki in a headlock and he becomes unnerved as to how he is able to accept this before passing out.

Yuuki awakens later to see Kyouka sleeping beside him. He blushes at the sight of her and then gets up and bows to her, thanking her for helping him sleep and curing his fatigue. He notices that one of her breasts has slipped out of her bra and he covers her up with the blanket.

Two days later, while Yuuki is doing housework, Kyouka reports to him that the other Anti-Demon Corps members will be discharged from the hospital the following day. Yuuki is delighted and Kyouka comments that the 5th Unit has great healers. Yuuki admits that he has been thinking about all the issues that came up with his sister and the Humanoid Shuuki. Kyouka informs him that she and Tenka Izumo made a report about the incident, but omitted the identities of the Humanoid Shuuki and their goals. Kyouka says that she and Tenka will deal with the Onmyou Agency. Invigorated, Yuuki he will thoroughly clean the dorm and a make a delicious meal for everyone. Kyouka is pleased and tells him they will go back to training when everyone has returned.

The next day, Yuuki awakens and finds Tenka on top of him. Yuuki becomes flustered, but Tenka tells him to calm down and claims that she only came to show him she has made a full recovery. She says when she came to tell him, he was already sleeping and so she lied on top of him. Abruptly, Yuuki grabs her and then shouts his gratitude for everything she did for him. Having expected a romantic confession, Tenka is somewhat disappointed, but accepts his thanks. Suddenly, Kyouka enters and finds the two in a compromising position. Irritated, Kyouka reminds Tenka that she should be busy with the reports that accumulated during her absence. Tenka concedes her point and says they will meet again at the Chiefs' Assembly. Once Tenka leaves, Kyouka confronts Yuuki claiming that she saw how relaxed he was being so close to Tenka. Believing that he still doesn't know who his master is, Kyouka declares that they will begin training.

As Yuuki and Kyouka begin their training outside, Kyouka informs him that they will be busy once the Chiefs' Assembly begins. And so, until then, their training will be intense.
