During dinner, Karin still looked melancholy.
However, when Aoba looked over, she immediately buried her face in her bowl, blushing.
For some reason, she suddenly felt Lord Aoba was more charming today. Every move he made caused her heart to flutter uncontrollably, leading her thoughts astray.
On the other hand, Aoba thought, "Has this little girl lost her mind? What is she scraping at an empty bowl so fervently for?"
Is today's northwest wind unusually sweet?
He didn't quite understand the world of young girls, so he simply had the servants open all the windows, allowing Karin to eat more.
Sigh, a considerate and kind man like him must be extinct by now.
After dinner, Aoba suddenly told Karin, "Come with me. I need your help with something."
Karin's heart started racing, and she whispered with her fingers, fidgeting, "It's so late. Is that okay?"
Aoba looked surprised, "Does it matter whether it's day or night for this kind of thing? We'll discuss it tomorrow if you prefer doing it during the day."
"No... No, let's do it now. I'm ready," Karin immediately stood up, her face flushed with embarrassment, thinking that doing it during the day would be too much and night would be better.
"Oh, if you're ready, then come over. Let's hurry, and it might be a bit tiring."
Karin, not sure what she was thinking, suddenly blushed as if she was drunk and began to stagger as she walked, almost bumping into the door.
Aoba was puzzled, wondering if she had caught a cold from the breeze during dinner.
"What's wrong? If you're not feeling well, we can do it another day. There's no need to force yourself."
Aoba kindly suggested that since testing the watch's capabilities wasn't urgent that day,
But Karin immediately perked up, straightening her chest, and said, "No... there's nothing wrong. I'm fine, let's... let's go!"
"Are you sure you can do it now?"
Karin nodded firmly but shyly asked, "Could you be a bit gentler?"
Aoba immediately refused, "No! If we don't go all out, we won't know where the limit is."
"Then... can we change the place? Here?"
"If not here, where else? Outside?"
Karin was shocked at the thought of going outside. She wasn't ready for that mentally, so she quickly said, "No need, here is fine. I understand, then... let's go."
"Alright."
After ten seconds, the air suddenly became quiet.
Karin couldn't help but look up and saw Aoba standing motionless a few meters away.
What's going on?
At that moment, Aoba also looked puzzled, "Why haven't you started?"
Karin was startled, pointing to herself, "Me?"
"Who else, if not you? Is there anyone else in this room? Don't dawdle. Hurry up so we can go to sleep."
Karin felt dizzy. So, Brother Aoba likes this kind of thing?
But it's so embarrassing...
Well, since Brother Aoba likes it, let it be.
Just hesitating for a moment, Karin closed her eyes and began...
"What are you doing? Does casting a sealing spell need to be this troublesome?"
Karin abruptly opened her eyes, stopped her actions, and immediately saw Aoba's impatient expression.
She was completely stunned!
"Sealing... spell?"
"What's wrong? Didn't I tell you before that I need a small favor? Playing sick, complaining about the place, pulling at your clothes, what do you want to do? Isn't this large training space enough for you to cast your spells?"
It was a misunderstanding!
Realizing this, Karin's mentality collapsed, wishing she could immediately find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Even her facial expression turned to one of grinding her teeth.
This passage, filled with fantastical elements and combat, is from a narrative involving characters using unique abilities or techniques reminiscent of those found in anime or manga. Here's the translation, including the Japanese version naming when applicable:
---
It just goes to show the old saying cuteness and sexiness are worthless in front of stupidity!
"Die, you soulless thing!"
"Kongō Fūsa!"
Shamed, Karin immediately exploded in anger!
"Damn it!"
Watching countless golden chains shoot out from Karin's body, Aoba was taken aback.
This was the first time Karin successfully executed this sealing technique?!
Even Karin, who used this move out of sheer instinct and anger, was wide-eyed in surprise.
So that's how it is!
Fully realizing the sensation of this moment, Karin soon had an epiphany and understood how to manipulate the bloodline power within her body to perform this technique.
Then Aoba was embarrassingly tied up in a spread-eagle position and suspended mid-air...
For sealing techniques, standing still in defense is the dumbest strategy.
But Aoba wanted to try out the function of his watch to see how it could neutralize the opponent's attacks, so he didn't dodge.
As a result, the 10% chance wasn't triggered, and he had no opportunity to dodge anymore.
Moreover, he didn't expect Karin to suddenly use the Kongō Fūsa (Heavenly Prison) move, which surprised him.
And what surprised him even more was when he tried to break free from these golden chains.
He found that he couldn't mobilize any chakra inside his body, as if it didn't exist.
He seemed to understand why this technique was so effective against the Tailed Beasts because the main body is a chakra life form that split (censored) from the Ten-Tails.
So, even if killed, they can resurrect, but if the chakra is sealed, it's equivalent to losing the source of power, naturally losing their imposing aura.
Moreover, he sensed that these golden chains completely sealed his chakra and suppressed his physical strength.
Indeed, it's quite impressive!
However, the suppression of the body could have been more thorough than the chakra sealing.
After careful thought, he had a guess: one is that the Kongō Fūsa (Heavenly Prison) itself focuses on suppressing chakra, and second, his chakra was too weak, but his physical strength too strong, so he felt this way facing Karin's seal.
After all, no matter what sealing technique, it has limits.
Just like in the original, when Karin unleashed this move to attack the Ten-Tails, she couldn't completely suppress it—only managed to restrict it to some extent.
Understanding all this, Aoba couldn't help but show a satisfied expression. Karin will become a good ally for him in the future.
The early investment is finally seeing returns.
"Let me down."
Karin lifted her glasses and turned away, pretending not to hear.
Aoba felt awkward, "Cough cough, stop messing around, let me down first."
He'd be confident in breaking free from Karin's bind if he were at full strength, but there's no need to make such a big fuss!
Besides, breaking the chains might even hurt Karin, so it is better to prioritize peace.
