Chapter 2

**Pros and a Pro** is chapter two of the first volume of the manga.

## Summary

At Kaminoge High School, Hattori and Suwa discuss the news that Yuuki Wakura has begun working in Mato as a caretaker. The two pity his bad luck, but they are then approached by Kyouka Uzen who asks them where the principal's office is. The two are smitten by her beauty and she explains to them that she is Yuuki's "Master". Hattori and Suwa change their attitude, instead becoming envious of Yuuki.

Outside the 7th Unit dorm, Yuuki takes pride in having made the building sparkling clean, but then looks out despondently at Mato's stormy landscape. Suddenly, a Shuuki emerges from the ground and tries to attack Yuuki, but is blocked and disintegrated by a barrier. Yuuki is surprised by how close the Shuuki emerged and Nei Ookawamura arrives to check on him. Nei explains that the 7th Unit is located at the Southwestern Demon Gate, and so many Shuuki are prone to showing up around them. Nei further explains that Mato is divided into eight different directions and each Unit is assigned one section of it. Yuuki thanks Nei for helping him to understand Mato.

Himari Azuma arrives and irritably orders Yuuki to make lunch for them, including Kyouka. After Yuuki asks if a caretaker is responsible for making food as well, Himari angrily tells him he should be grateful for being allowed to live in the same place and eat the same food as them.

Later, as Yuuki enthusiastically prepares food, he suddenly feels as if he is being watched, but sees nothing.

As the 7th Unit members have their meal, Shushu Suruga, Kyouka, Nei, and Himari (reluctantly) praise Yuuki's cooking skills. However, they then give him the additional chores of cleaning the dishes, baths, and vacant rooms, which frustrates Yuuki. He confronts Kyouka about this, explaining that he thought he was going to help exterminating Shuuki, but Kyouka merely replies that Shuuki can go a week without appearing. Displeased, Yuuki tries to argue further, but is stopped as Himari holds a sword that has grown from her arm up to his neck, intimidating him to stop his complaining. However, she is stopped by Kyouka who states that, although she understands some of them may not be happy with having a male caretaker, Yuuki is valuable as a caretaker and for Kyouka's ability. With fury in her eyes, she says that she will handle Yuuki herself if he misbehaves and the others obediently comply.

Suddenly, Nei acts strangely and Kyouka asks if she has seen something. Shushu explains to Yuuki that Nei is clairvoyant. Nei stumbles around with her eyes closed, but then informs the others that a gate has appeared five kilometers to the north. Kyouka orders them to depart in three vehicles.

While Himari and Nei ride a jeep and Shushu rides a motorbike, Kyouka intends to ride Yuuki to the gate site. As Kyouka presents her hand to him, Yuuki readies himself for the upcoming fight (while also anticipating the reward that will follow). He kisses Kyouka's hand and transforms. Kyouka and Yuuki quickly catch up to Himari, Nei, and Shushu and even surpass them. Nei and Shushu are impressed by Yuuki's form, but Himari says he just looks like a monster.

Upon arriving at the gate, Yuuki wonders where the Shuuki are, but Kyouka tells him their mission at the moment is only to examine the gate itself, which is a large black hole-like object. Kyouka explains that gates like this appear randomly and may transport human civilians to Mato or Shuuki may use them to get to their "mortal" world. However, the gate should disappear after a few hours. Yuuki is curious about Kyouka's phrasing of their world as the "mortal" world, and Kyouka replies that Mato does feel rather hellish and there are many lingering mysteries surrounding it.

Suddenly, a huge swarm of Shuuki appear, heading straight for the gate, and Kyouka remarks that the existence of the Shuuki is also a mystery. Yuuki prepares to fight, but Kyouka stops him as Himari and Shushu have arrived and she elects to let them handle the Shuuki. A trio of Shuuki then appear behind Yuuki and Kyouka, and Yuuki easily defeats them. Meanwhile, Himari and Shushu handle the other Shuuki. Himari grows a machine gun from her arm, firing it at the Shuuki, while Shushu grows to giant size. Their abilities greatly impress Yuuki.

With the Shuuki defeated and the gate gone, Yuuki reverts to his human form. He eagerly anticipates his reward, but Kyouka merely pats him on the head and gives him a candy. Yuuki is disappointed, but recalls that he only gets a reward fitting of the work he performed. He is struck by exhaustion from the transformation, but manages to rejoin others.

Back at the dorm, Himari asks if he is tired, but Yuuki insists that he is fine and so Himari orders him to do more chores. As Yuuki performs his chores, he becomes even more frustrated, beginning to wonder if he is truly needed. He then sees Kyouka in a training session with Himari, and he concedes that the others are not merely lounging around while he works. Suddenly, Yuuki feels a huge tremor and the 7th Unit dorm barrier activates as an army of Shuuki surround it. The 7th Unit members take action as Shushu once more grows to tremendous size. Riding on Shushu's shoulder, Himari considers that Shushu can only maintain her size for a short time and Himari herself is limited with her weapons, and so the dorm may be in danger. However, Kyouka, now riding the transformed Yuuki, orders them to divide their efforts, each taking one section of the Shuuki army. Kyouka and Yuuki go into action and tear the Shuuki apart, greatly impressing Himari. She concedes that Yuuki should be Kyouka's slave.

The 7th Unit manages to defeat the Shuuki, but they are all worn out. Kyouka stands before Yuuki again and appears to be about to give him another candy as a reward, but instead she puts it in her mouth and gives him a deep kiss, moving it to his mouth. Kyouka becomes angry, realizing she has to act like his lover again. She reminds Yuuki that she has no control over her body during the reward and she must provide a fitting reward that corresponds to the slave's desires. She then strips down to her underwear, calling Yuuki a pervert. She then shoves his face into her breasts and Yuuki happily feels his fatigue melt away.

Once the reward is complete, Kyouka gets dressed and Yuuki asks her if she really is okay with giving him that kind of reward. Kyouka replies that she will do it so she can eliminate Shuuki. She then reveals to Yuuki that she was also a victim of a Mato disaster, the Gassan Oisawa incident, of which she was the only survivor. Yuuki recalls the incident, in which the Shuuki destroyed an entire village. Kyouka says that, while some people think the Shuuki and Peaches should be studied, she only wishes to destroy the Shuuki and spare other people the suffering she has gone through. And, to do that, she must become stronger. She then comments that her dislike towards Yuuki is surprisingly low. Also, as proven by Yuuki's strength, they have good compatibility. She then dismissively says that what she does with Yuuki is no different than bathing with a dog or cat and thus it is nothing for her be upset about. Despite her dismissive attitude, Yuuki is pleased. Kyouka also remarks that she is aware Himari has been bossing Yuuki around and she will address that so Yuuki is not worn out when it comes time to battle. Yuuki is satisfied that Kyouka does, in fact, need him.

Later, while cleaning outside, Yuuki happens upon Himari and Nei bathing naked in the hot springs. He is shocked and embarrassed, but they do not see him. However, he is then confronted by Shushu who spied on him by shrinking her body. She reveals that she has taken a picture of Yuuki "peeping" on Himari and Nei. She threatens to show the photo to Kyouka unless Yuuki becomes her slave.
