Chapter 68

**Slave and Late Summer** is the sixty-eighth chapter of the *Mato Seihei no Slave* manga.

## Summary

Although it is late summer, Yuuki Wakura, Kyouka Uzen, Shushu Suruga, Nei Ookawamura, and Tenka Izumo go to the beach for their summer break. Kyouka regrets that Himari Azuma cannot join them, but Tenka points out that they cannot leave their Units unattended. Kyouka counters that Tenka herself is not part of the 7th Unit, and she replies that she is only here as a normal break.

As Kyouka and the others have fun, Shushu jealously observes Kyouka and Tenka's gorgeous buxom figures (she also recalls Yakumo Ezo's great figure). In an attempt to get closer to Yuuki, she grabs him and requests that he play with her. Shushu contemplates that she will make up for the "strength" difference between her and the Chiefs with technique and assertiveness.

After a fun-filled day, Tenka departs and Yuuki rinses himself in a shower stall. As he bathes, Shushu comes up from behind him and covers his eyes. Shushu is pleased that he is able to guess that it is her right away and she uses her Paradigm Shift to increase her bust size. Under the pretense that she was waiting for him to be done with the shower, Shushu turns Yuuki around and seductively presses her large breasts against him. Flustered, Yuuki flees and apologizes for taking so long in the shower. Shushu becomes fired up, believing her plan is working.

Later, as Yuuki watches the sunset, Shushu joins him. Yuuki remarks how Mato has a similar view, which Shushu agrees with. Shushu then comments how the two of them watching the sunset together makes it seem like they are a couple. Yuuki is surprised by her comment, but dismisses it as due to her being a fan of romance manga. Shushu is surprised by his observation as she only recently got into romance manga. Shushu sheepishly suggests that it is because she is at "that age", which Yuuki agrees with as he believes that Shushu has gotten cuter. His comments overwhelms Shushu with emotion. Yuuki suddenly gets a call on his phone and excuses himself as he has to go train. Shushu realizes her plans have failed and that this very same situation has happened before. She believes Yuuki is a truly terrifying man.

Elsewhere, Yuuki meets up with Kyouka and transforms into his Slave form. He suggests that they use his Skyward form, but Kyouka refuses as it drains too much energy and they should only use it as a trump card. Kyouka reasons that Skyward lost to Fubuki Azuma not because of a lack of training, but because it was too much power to handle. She believes that if he trains more, he will be able to use Skyward more freely. Kyouka climbs on Yuuki's back and informs him they will work on his long range attacks. Since the Eight Thunder Gods can fly, they have to be able to account for airborne enemies. Yuuki starts with a warm-up, but Kyouka notices he is moving much faster than usual. Yuuki believes it is a result of his training, but Kyouka thinks there is more to it. Yuuki considers that he has been using his Whirlwind form a lot and thus his muscles have become more acclimated to it. An astonished Kyouka reaches the conclusion that the more she lends the stronger Yuuki's base form gets.
