Three days had passed, and the vacations were about to end.
But there was nothing to be done; good things never last.
Despite this, Yuki didn't feel down. There might be another opportunity, perhaps next time with his entire family in the shinobi world. After all, Yuki wanted to see Tsunade in a swimsuit, those vast sacred lands would be a treat. There was also Shizune, whose assets also belonged to him since Tsunade had sold her before. Yuki had high expectations for that.
However, Yuki sighed; this was still far off. Not to mention, he had to respond to Yuno's messages like crazy. Keeping both body and mind occupied always made rest days better, but Yuno was shortening his life.
Fortunately, the vacation was lively, playing with Shu and Souta. Yuki played pranks with the girls, involving Shu and Souta in some dirty jokes.
Needless to say, spying and many other activities made the trio lively, but unfortunately, Ayase caught them easily. This left both Shu and Souta speechless since Yuki always escaped at the last minute, causing the duo to face the girls' wrath.
Yet, this also made their trip more interesting and fun, as both groups got along well.
Another thing that kept Yuki busy was...
"Kurumi Tokisaki: A hybrid, part spirit and part human, interesting, interesting..."
And, of course, Kurumi. Since joining the chat, Yuki took the initiative to send her private messages. There were many things to ask; his curiosity was piqued. Over these three days, they talked about many things, their worlds, and themselves.
"Yuki Uchiha (Champion): Um!... That's right... Impressive, isn't it?"
"Kurumi Tokisaki: Eh~ very impressive indeed, Yuki-san. This only increases my curiosity about your taste, Kihihi."
"Yuki Uchiha (Champion): Hahaha, I like it. Your jokes are always so funny, Kurumi."
"Kurumi Tokisaki: I'm not joking."
"Yuki Uchiha (Champion):..."
This also happened; after so many messages, they discovered that their compatibility was very high. It wasn't clear if it was due to Zafkiel or some other external factor, but they felt comfortable messaging each other.
So much so that even Kurumi stopped calling him 'Champion' and started using his name.
However, this also made Kurumi learn more about Yuki. So much so that she was impressed; Yuki was very powerful. If he came to her world, he was close to being a living nuclear bomb.
That's why Kurumi always joked about wanting to eat him. After all, in Kurumi's eyes, Yuki was a delicacy. However, Yuki was sweating a bit about that.
Because he knew Kurumi could eat him if he wasn't careful. But at the same time, he understood her. Unlike him, who could use Zafkiel using chakra, Kurumi used her life force as a catalyst. This girl must have an incredible hunger.
But despite all this, they got along well. Although Yuki was nervous at first, now he had high expectations of getting to know her, and the same could be said for Kurumi.
But that's another story. After finishing his conversation with Kurumi, Yuki now looked at Souta walking in front of him.
"So? Where is this 'Impressive Place' you talked about?"
With his hands behind his head, Souta looked at Yuki with doubts. Although Souta was still somewhat upset that Yuki was Inori's boyfriend, in the end, he gave up. It's not like he was in a position to criticize their relationship. So, he just shook his head in disappointment. These were the dreams of a fan.
"Don't worry, we're almost there."
As for Yuki, he raised an eyebrow. Today was the last day of their trip, so it was the day the mission would take place. That's why, with a couple of tricks, Yuki succeeded in separating Souta from the group.
"Alright, we're here."
"Really? I don't see anything."
Looking around, Souta saw nothing impressive—just several trees and a bench. This place was empty, with only the small sounds of insects.
So, Souta couldn't help but look at Yuki with doubts. However...
"Sorry, I'll make it up to you later."
"Eh?... Ugh!"
Without hesitation, Yuki drew his void. Souta, on the other hand, was surprised to see Yuki attacking him. However, Yuki was very fast, so in the end, he only roared a bit before falling unconscious.
"So, this is you..."
Looking with interest at Souta's void, Yuki rubbed his chin. It was a camera with wings on the sides.
"Well done. Now we can continue with the mission."
Satisfied, Gai emerged from the bushes.
"Hm, just as I thought, this would be a piece of cake."
Behind Gai, Argos also came out. They had been watching the duo and knew the target was secured.
With Yuki gaining Souta's trust, it was easy to bring him to this isolated place.
"I guess so."
Sighing a bit, Yuki tossed the void to Gai, who received it without hesitation.
"Are you sure you don't want to join us? There might be information you're looking for."
"Yes, I want to enjoy this last day."
Shaking his head, Yuki didn't want to miss this relaxed day. After all, seeing the girls in yukata was better than doing missions.
"Alright."
Looking at Yuki for a moment, Gai sighed. Although he wanted Yuki to join them, he couldn't do anything if Yuki refused. But it was also fine; Yuki fulfilled his part of the plan by extracting Souta's Void, so the rest depended on him.
Looking at the Void in his hand, Gai nodded. This Void had the power to open anything, which was very useful for their mission.
"Then we'll see you. I hope everything goes well."
Taking Souta by the neck, Yuki waved his hand in farewell.
"Hm, count on it."
Agreeing with his words, Argos and Gai also moved. They didn't want to waste time.
"Well, now we just have to put this guy in a bed."
Looking at Gai and Argos walking away, Yuki sighed. He really didn't want to do this mission.
After all, this mission was destined to fail. However, Yuki still fulfilled his part.
So, looking towards the distant Oshima temple, Yuki shook his head.
"Little mole, you'll get a big surprise."
Muttering these words, Yuki took Souta back to the mansion.
