Yasaka who was standing in front of Tatsuya shook her head and sat beside him. They both were sitting quietly with their heads resting on the walls. Yasaka broke the silence and said, "Thank you" in a low voice but Tatsuya still heard her and looked towards her.
Yasaka who felt him looking at her looked back at him and smiled. Tatsuya was mesmerized by her smile but soon composed himself and asked, "why are you thanking me, it is us who should be thanking you for taking such good care of us." Tatsuya too smiled sincerely at her and now it was her turn to be mesmerized but she too composed herself.
Yasaka shook her head and said, "I am thanking you for helping and spending time with Kunou she seemed to be sincerely happy when she was with you all I have never seen her smile this much. That poor child doesn't have a father or brother to play with and I am mostly busy with my work so I am really grateful for all this."
Tatsuya who looked at Yasaka with sympathy said, "You don't need to be grateful to us, we as well your company a lot enjoyed and we can understand her situation well as both me and Miyuki have lost our parents and you don't need to worry about Kunou just like us she too have someone to depend on in the form of her mother and she really like you a lot so you should not blame yourself too much." Tatsuya said that and unconsciously patted her head.
Yasaka who recieved the headpat was a bit surprised but didn't rejected it and was enjoying it. It has been a long time since somebody was showing her affection and so she was savouring this feeling.
After sometime Tatsuya noticed what he was doing and immediately pulled his hand and quickly apologised to her. Yasaka was a bit disappointed when he retraced his hand but the embarrassed expression on Tatsuya's usually calm and collected face was a great sight to her and she decided to tease him furthe.
Thinking that she has teased the boy in front of her enough, she calmed herself down and said, "I have noticed it for a while and have been meaning to ask this but aren't you and Miyuki siblings, so is you having relationship with her alright?"
Tatsuya who heard her again got calm and said, "Even though we treat each other as siblings we are still non-blood related cousins so our relationship is ok. She has been living with me after her parents died and because of this we are very close as we are the only ones left in each others family and that closeness caused us to have feelings for each other, but I most certainly don't mind being in relationship with such a cute girl like her."
Yasaka smiled and they both started making som small talk until the others came back. When they came back Tatsuya was once again stunned when he saw them in their Yukatas. And the girls did their best to show their beauty to Tatsuya. Seeing them like that Yasaka chuckled and took a picture of them.
Miyuki wore a sky blue coloured Yukata which even though was simple but still complimented her beauty. Kurumi wore a blood red coloured one and even though it revealed quite a bit of her chest it still have her the aura of maturity which made her both beautiful and seductive. Kunou was wearing a pink coloured Yukata and she was looking way too cute.
Tatsuya came out of his trance and complimented each of the girls and it made them very happy.
They went to the festival after changing into their Yukatas and there too they all started eating. Seeing them like that Yasaka could only sigh but was still enjoying it along with them as well.
They also participated in many games and the vendors were very troubled because of them as they almost won most of the prizes and the vendors had to beg them to stop.
Many bold guys tried to hit on the girls but one glare from Tatsuya and they returned back without causing any trouble.
While the time for the fireworks was approaching closer Kunou was looking a bit restless. Tatsuya who noticed this looked at her and asked, "what happened?" Kunou was a bit hesitant to tell him but the sincere look of worry in his eyes made her unable to and she said, "I-I-I need to go to the washroom." The others who heard her had a sweat drop and were thinking why was she so hesitant to tell them.
Yasaka sighed and took her to the washroom. After a while the fireworks show started but there was still no sign of Yasaka or Kunou noticing this both Tatsuya and Kurumi got concerned and spread their senses to search for them. Once they found out Tatsuya immediately sent a message to Kurumi to protect Miyuki while he was gone. Kurumi wanted to retort but decided against it as she could see that Miyuki was enjoying the show and didn't wanted to worry her.
Tatsuya went to a corner and teleported to Yasaka's location. There he saw an old storehouse. He could feel many presences inside.He activated his byakugan to see what was going on inside but immediately frowned and ran towards the storehouse. He kicked the door open and saw many youkai in there. All of them looked towards the broken door and saw someone standing there.
A random youkai released his aura to scare the person but the person didn't flinched. Seeing this he got irritated and said, "Oi who the hell are you, how dare you come here do you want to die?" The person or more clearly Tatsuya didn't said anything and started walking towards them. Se of the youkai who saw this started to get nervous but most of them got enraged and started releasing their aura to scare him.
Tatsuya saw that the youkai were trying to intimidate him but it was all in vain. Tatsuya who started to get impatient thought that he should finish them soon. He released some of his aura and said while raising his hand, "Gale style: Lazer Circus". Numerous beams launched from Tatsuya's hand and started moving towards the Youkai at incredible speed.
The Youkai were still shocked and on seeing the human still not intimidated by them and felt the huge aura coming out of him were not able to move when the beam was launched towards them. By the time they realised it was already too late as the beam pierced through their chest killing all of them in process.
Confirming that all of them were dead Tatsuya moved towards the room in which he felt Yasaka's presence.
