Thud!
"That's impossible!" Raynare's face turned pale, her legs so weak that she fell to her knees on the ground. Yusuke's words and expression were like a sharp knife piercing through her heart and twisting viciously. Staring at him with trembling eyes, she cried out, "I love you, Master! I love you so much! So much, much more than anyone ever could! I am ready to do anything, no matter how hard, to prove it!"
The impact of his statement was even stronger on Kalawarna. The blue-haired, buxom woman collapsed to the ground, powerless, her eyes seeming to lose all their light.
Yusuke stood up and approached Raynare. He knelt before her and gently touched her face. "I believe in you. However, my ability only works on those who love unconditionally, and you clearly do not."
He crushed their hearts even further with his next words. "The greatest proof is that I can't use my ability on you to grant you my skills."
Asia stared at Yusuke and Raynare with wide eyes. "Raynare-sama..."
"That's not true! That's not true! How could my love lose to others?!" Kalawarna clutched her head and cried in despair. She was filled with hatred toward herself. She hated herself for failing at the one thing she believed no one could surpass her in.
Her overflowing love for her master was actually less than some stupid sluts?!
[Kalawarna's submission + 1!]
[Kalawarna's submission + 1!]
[Kalawarna's submission + 1!]
[Raynare's submission + 1!]
[Raynare's submission + 1!]
[Raynare's submission + 1!]
[Kalawarna's submission: 90 (Dependent)]
[Raynare's submission: 90 (Dependent)]
After gaslighting the two fallen angels into believing they did not love him enough, Yusuke turned his attention back to the three women. "So, which one of the three skills will you choose?"
"I want the Dragon Slayer Magic! I want to smack the shit out of anyone who tries to hurt Yu-sama!" Aika answered immediately. She hated the feeling of weakness and helplessness from back then, so her desire for power was especially strong right now.
"Alright." Yusuke had expected this. It was a wise choice, one he would have advised her to choose as well if she had not. He held her chin and pressed his lips against hers, slipping his tongue into her mouth.
Aika's body responded before her thoughts could catch up, and she kissed him back. As she did, a mysterious light enveloped them both before fading away.
"Alright, it is done." Yusuke pulled away from the kiss.
The masochist stood in place in a daze as streams of information, along with an unfamiliar feeling of warmth, enveloped her. A new skill had been imprinted into her soul. Instinctively, she understood how to use it. With a single thought, a ball of pink flame emerged from her palm. The ball was the size of a basin, radiating intense heat.
"Amazing!" she exclaimed.
"Put away the fire. If you want to try your new skill, do it outside. Do not set this place on fire," Yusuke said as he patted her head in warning.
He then turned to the other two and asked, "Which skill do you want?"
"The Observation Haki… is that the one you used to dodge all my attacks last time, as if you were predicting them beforehand?" Murayama asked Yusuke after a moment of thought.
"Yes. Observation Haki is a skill that grants the user an extrasensory sixth sense. It allows them to sense the presence, strength, and emotions of others, as well as gain limited precognitive abilities," Yusuke answered her question. "Of course, to reach the level I just described, you need to become very proficient in it."
"Master, please grant me the Observation Haki." Murayama, satisfied with Yusuke's answer, declared her chosen skill.
She was a swordswoman, and her Sacred Gear granted her both power and speed. She did not lack attacking strength, and Dragon Slaying Magic did not suit her. She had no talent for magic either. It was better for her to focus on improving her swordsmanship and unlocking the full potential of her Sacred Gear. Among the three skills, Observation Haki was perfectly suited to her style.
"As you wish." Yusuke cupped her face with both hands and kissed her in a deep, wet kiss.
As their lips remained locked, the mysterious light appeared once again. When it finally faded, Murayama had gained the Observation Haki.
Tsubaki, on the other hand, fell into deep thought. She was strong in defense but mediocre in offense, so gaining the Dragon Slaying Magic would help balance her weakness. However, the Healing Touch was a rare skill. Healing abilities were extremely valuable and hard to come by, making the choice a difficult one.
"I also want the Dragon Slaying Magic, Yusuke-sama," Tsubaki decided, choosing to increase her offensive power instead. Healing was indeed important, but Yusuke already knew the skill, and it was unnecessary to have multiple healers in a fight.
There were also other alternatives for healing, such as the Phoenix's tears, despite them being rare and expensive.
Yusuke fulfilled her request, granting her the skill by kissing her lips.
"Both of us chose the same skill. We can help each other master it," Aika said when she saw that Tsubaki had selected the same skill.
She was still a newbie in the supernatural world and with magic, so she could benefit from Tsubaki's insight.
A huge burden was lifted from Yusuke's shoulders. He had been very concerned about his women's safety, especially Aika, who was weak as fuck. Now she had something to defend herself with.
'She hadn't shown any suspicious signs even after witnessing this,' Yusuke thought as he glanced at Asia, who was watching in shock. While she worriedly stared at Raynare, he finally let his guard down, certain that she wasn't a Yandere.
"Tsubaki, please take her to the guest room. She will stay here today until Raynare takes her to her place," Yusuke requested, pointing at Asia.
Tsubaki glanced at the blond nun and approached her with a serious expression. She adjusted her glasses and introduced herself. "My name is Tsubaki Shinra. May I know your name?"
"I-I am Asia Argento. N-nice to meet you!" Asia stuttered, flustered by Tsubaki's strong aura.
"Alright, Argento-san, please follow me." Tsubaki turned and walked out of the living room.
Asia glanced at both Raynare and Yusuke one last time. Holding her bag with both hands, she followed after Tsubaki.
Once she was out of sight, Yusuke stepped closer to Raynare and Kalawarna and patted their heads. "Don't be too depressed. I believe in your feelings for me. You just need some time to discover them, right?"
"I know how deep your feelings for me are, so you should have faith in yourself. I believe in you."
"Master!" Raynare and Kalawarna grasped Yusuke's arms, staring at him with hopeful eyes. In their dark world, he looked like a radiant light that dispelled all their shadows. Tears began streaming down their faces.
"Thank you!"
[You actually managed to push them this far! Tsk, tsk! You are getting better and better at manipulating people!] The system commented on his deed with sharp sarcasm.
'They still need some time to reach the same level as the others,' Yusuke thought silently. He had used the skill granting to plant this seed of self-loathing in the two women, deliberately nudging them to push themselves, to force them to lower their bottom line even further until they reached the same level as Aika and Murayama.
And what better way to do that than to make them doubt their own love? All of them, being yanderes, held an absolute belief that they loved their chosen person more than anything, that no one could love him more than they did, and that only by being with them would he truly be happy.
Challenging this belief would force them to do anything to prove the depth of their love to him, and more importantly, to prove it to themselves.
Yusuke had conceived this idea the moment he considered granting his skills to Aika and the others. After all, even if the restrictions for granting the skills were lighter, he would still make the same claim.
"Come, I'll give you both a reward to cheer you up," Yusuke said, unfastening his pants. His erect meat stick, stimulated by tongue-kissing three beauties, appeared before the two women, casting a long, thick shadow over their faces.
"W-we can have sex?!" Kalawarna's hand moved instinctively, feverishly tracing the thick veins.
"Nope," Yusuke said with a smirk, shaking his head. "You are only allowed to take it with your mouth. Now, give your master a good blowjob."
...
"You can spend the night here until Raynare-san is free and can take you to your lodging place," Tsubaki said, then closed the door of the room.
Asia placed her bag on the ground and took small steps to the bed before collapsing onto it. "Haah! That was strange!":
"Yusuke-sama, what kind of man is he? Why do I feel like my heart is going to burst just from seeing him?"
When she saw Yusuke in the park, her heart skipped a beat at the sight of him, but she didn't know what to do. Raynare seemed extremely close to him, and she was afraid that if she showed any strange behavior, Raynare would lash out at her.
She was just an orphan who had been kicked out of her church. She had never attended school, had no money, and no skills. She didn't know how to interact with people and was deeply terrified of the outside world.
So, despite wanting to keep staring at that man called Yusuke, she didn't dare do so openly. Especially when she felt his sharp eyes on her, she became even more timid, afraid of attracting attention. Yet, it still felt good to be looked at by him, with those deep eyes of his.
Though, for some strange reason, she felt very uncomfortable watching him flirt with Raynare and other women.
"Yusuke-sama," Asia curled into a ball, pressing her hand to her chest. She closed her eyes and whispered in a very faint voice before drifting off to sleep. She had traveled halfway across the world to come to Japan and was utterly exhausted.
Because of the yanderes he had encountered so far, Yusuke had developed a misconception about how his Unique Trait worked.
The effect of his trait on special women differed. Some would develop an intense obsession instantly, while others with stronger willpower and minds would gradually develop that obsession over time, especially if they remained exposed to him.
Asia may have been weak, timid, and shy, but she possessed a strong faith. Her resolve was far stronger than that of the other girls, which is why she hadn't immediately turned into a full-blown yandere.
Though that was only temporary...
...
"Why do I have to go to school in the first place? Damn it!"
Monday came again. Yusuke walked to school with a lazy expression, barely awake. He had hardly slept over the weekend. On Saturday, he had been on a date with Sona and got very little rest, and Sunday had been just as exhausting. The three women had tried to repay him together and ended up having sex until morning.
Fortunately, his physique was incredibly strong. Otherwise, he would have collapsed by now. To maintain a harem of yanderes, one needed a body capable of sustaining it.
"So sleepy, I wish I could just skip school," Aika yawned, leaning against Yusuke's shoulder. Her eyes were half-closed, dark circles visible beneath them. She, too, had barely slept.
The other girls were in the same state, and the group walked on, constantly stifling yawns..
On the way, they met Rias, Akeno, and, surprisingly, Koneko as well. Their appearance instantly wiped the sleep from the girls' eyes, and they stared at the trio like hens protecting their chicks!
...
After school, Yusuke went to the Occult Research Club. He hadn't become an official member yet, but he had been given permission to come and go as he pleased until he decided whether to join.
"Akeno-senpai, you're the only one here?" Upon entering the clubroom, Yusuke saw Akeno lying on the sofa, one leg dangling to the floor while the other was bent. Her long hair was scattered messily, and her breasts swayed slightly with each breath.
"Yusuke-kun~!"
