Arriving before Kyouka and the others, Naoki handed Himari over to Shushu, who had already reached out with a worried expression.
"Don't worry, she's just mentally and physically exhausted." Naoki said briefly to calm the atmosphere.
He then turned his gaze toward Kyouka, scratching the back of his neck, feeling a slight twinge of guilt.
"Commander Uzen. About my harsh words during the fight... I apologize. It was all an act. I didn't truly mean to insult you or the Seventh Unit. I just—"
However, Kyouka cut him off before he could finish the sentence.
"There's no need to apologize, Naoki. I know exactly what you were doing. You deliberately backed her into a corner to provoke her emotions, forcing her to surpass her own limits."
"The methods were crude, but the results are undeniable. Himari showed an extraordinary performance, even managing to mimic a Commander-class Peach Blessing—something that was previously impossible for her. For that, I actually want to thank you for opening the path for her."
Kyouka extended her hand sincerely. Seeing this, Naoki marveled internally.
(So generous and wise... No wonder she holds the role of the main heroine in this world.)
Naoki accepted her hand, and they shared a firm, respectful handshake.
Next, Naoki stepped toward Yuuki, who was still sprawled on the ground. Beside him, Nei—the elementary school girl—stared at Yuuki with an expression of deep concern. The sight made Naoki shake his head slowly. He felt that the "lolicon" label was simply predestined by fate to stick to Yuuki.
Within his mind, the Nehemoth slot on the Qliphoth Tree diagram glowed brightly. Naoki activated «Ephemeral».
(Note: Transience has been renamed Ephemeral)
He channeled the vitality he had previously absorbed from the surrounding flora into Yuuki through his palm.
*SHINNN!*
A soft green light flowed from Naoki's hand, enveloping Yuuki's body in the warmth of pure life force. The healing effect was instantaneous; the bruises on Yuuki's face faded, cracked bones knit back together, and his stamina was restored in a matter of heartbeats.
Within seconds, Yuuki opened his eyes, feeling completely refreshed. He scrambled to his feet, looking around in confusion.
"Eh? I... I'm alive?"
"Of course you're alive, lolicon." Naoki teased while helping him up.
Seeing that things had settled down, Kyouka looked at Naoki and Ryunosuke.
"You all must be exhausted. Rest inside the Seventh Unit headquarters for a while. After all, your comrade, Sahara, is still in the shower there. We can talk more comfortably once you've settled in."
Naoki nodded in agreement, while Ryunosuke followed behind, still trying to process the madness he had just witnessed.
In the Seventh Unit's living room, the previously tense atmosphere slowly began to thaw. Naoki, Ryunosuke, and Yuuki sat in a circle on the sofa—a small reunion for three former classmates. Kyouka and the other members wisely gave them space, allowing the boys to talk in peace.
However, the peace was short-lived.
The sliding door snapped open with a soft jolt, and Himari stepped in, radiating a mix of shame and fury. Her body moved stiffly, as if invisible strings were controlling her like a marionette. Naoki immediately realized what was happening; this was the side effect of «Eternal Chains».
Once a slave completes a task, the user must provide a reward proportionate to the labor performed. This is mandatory; the user cannot resist the urge to reward the slave. The nature of the reward typically depends on the slave's innate, subconscious desires. For instance, most enslaved Shuuki simply want to be fed, so raw pork is sufficient. However, in Yuuki's case, the rewards were more intimate and sexual, usually involving close physical contact and kissing.
"H-Himari? What's wrong? Your face is so red."
Yuuki started to get nervous as he watched Himari approach him without a word. Under the amused gaze of Naoki, who was leaning back on the sofa, and a bewildered Ryunosuke, an incredible sight began to unfold.
"Argh, my body... it won't stop!"
Himari's voice trembled between rage and overwhelming embarrassment as her hands began to undo her own buttons. Seeing this, Ryunosuke swallowed hard, his face filled with raw lust.
Himari, now completely nude, stepped forward and sat directly on Yuuki's lap.
Her consciousness was crystal clear. She felt every inch of her skin touching Yuuki's, yet she had zero control over her actions. Her greatest anger, however, wasn't directed at Yuuki—she was somewhat used to this forced "lewd" ritual when they were alone. Her fury exploded when she realized there were two other men in the room.
"Hey, you two! What the hell are you looking at?!" Himari screamed, her face crimson to the tips of her ears. "Get out! Leave right now! Have you no shame, watching something like this?! This is our private business!"
Contrary to her screams, her hands began to gently caress Yuuki's face, pulling his head toward her for an intimate kiss on the neck, fulfilling the demands of Yuuki's exhausted subconscious.
"Daga Kotowaru (I refuse)!"
Naoki narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp and direct. The corners of his lips curled into a thin, condescending smirk—arrogant and triumphant. He raised a hand to his face, resting his chin between his thumb and forefinger to emphasize the rejection.
"One of the things I love most is saying 'NO' and refusing people who think they're so powerful."
As for Ryunosuke? Since Naoki wasn't leaving, there was no way he was going to miss out on free fan service. He didn't even blink. This was the first time he had seen a woman's naked body from such a close range.
"Stop staring at me with those disgusting eyes! I'll gouge them out!" Himari threatened again, her voice shrill with frustration as her body pressed even tighter against Yuuki, creating intimate friction.
"And you, Naoki! Stop smiling like that! Get out! I swear I'll blast you with a laser cannon if you aren't gone in one second!"
Realizing his sister-in-law was on the verge of a total mental breakdown from having to perform the Reward in front of an audience, Naoki finally stopped teasing her and stood up. He patted Ryunosuke on the shoulder, who was still frozen like a stone statue.
"Come on, Ryunosuke. I think we've seen more than enough. If we stay, we might actually not survive to see tomorrow's sun." Naoki said casually as he dragged Ryunosuke out of the room.
The moment the sliding door shut tight, Himari turned her full wrath on the closest target.
"And you, Yuuki...! Stop imagining things in that perverted brain of yours!" Himari whispered into Yuuki's ear, her breath ragged between the forced, lingering kisses. "Why does the reward have to be like this in front of them?! You really are the worst guy ever!"
Inside the now-sealed silence of the living room, the atmosphere grew heavy with the scent of passion forced by Kyouka's Peach Blessing. With no more words of protest or debate, Yuuki fully surrendered to his instincts, realizing that the only way to free Himari from her body's shackles was to accept the reward wholeheartedly.
Himari, her body still under the absolute command of «Eternal Chains», moved with an increasingly bold and intimate rhythm on Yuuki's lap. The barrier-free skin-to-skin contact created a searing heat, triggering biological responses that could no longer be suppressed. Yuuki met every touch with equal intensity, letting his fingers explore the smooth curve of Himari's back, pressing her body closer until they seemed to meld into one.
The reward progressed to a much deeper stage. Himari buried her face in the crook of Yuuki's neck, delivering demanding, wet kisses, while the movement of her hips created a rhythmic, highly provocative friction. Yuuki responded with heavy, labored breaths, his hands now gripping Himari's thighs tightly, helping her find the position that most satisfied his subconscious instincts.
The intimacy reached its peak as Himari began to perform more explicit acts, guided by the deep-seated desires stored in Yuuki's cellular memory. There was no hesitation in their movements; every caress, every small bite, and every stifled moan became part of an ancient, primitive exchange of energy. In the silence of that room, only the sound of frantic breathing and the intense friction of skin could be heard, marking a ritual of recovery wrapped in a forbidden intimacy.
