Shushu

Miss Shushu!

We received a report from the commander.

She said the Azuma Banquet is over!

And?

Miss Himari's mother was the winner.

Well, she is the commander of the 9th Squadron.

It is what it is.

Did Himari give 'em the 7th Squadron special?

Apparently, she made up with the other Azumas.

They acknowledged how strong she is!

Seriously? That's awesome!

Yeah! There's nothing better than a happy family!

Wow, I'm so glad to hear it!

Yukki's spent the past five days glued to Himarin's side for training.

I haven't been able to approach him at all.

But now, it's my turn!

My plan is foolproof!

This time, I'm gonna win Yukki over no matter what!

Giving men and women that extra confidence boost...

Kawabata

That's right!

With the magic of summer!

Magic?

My heart sunk and I no longer feel hope for the future

It felt like time froze and now it's all over

Brooding and silent

The umbrella of my heart began to open

Still, I kept my chin up and went on

I won't ask you to comfort me

I want to grow strong and focus on what's ahead

But weakness crushes me

Meeting you is what filled my world with light

I didn't have an ounce of hope, and yet I could laugh

Ordinary conversations always brought me a smile

I won't say thanks 'cause you'll blush and laugh

But I'm thinking it

Can I move forward from here?

O light, come to me

Episode 7

Late Summer Slave

The Azuma Banquet participants spent the night at the Azuma estate.

It was time to relax and unwind.

Baths at home are the best!

Today was a wonderful day!

Hey, it just occurred to me...

What?

When we were kids, it felt like you were constantly by my side.

Yeah.

Aw, how cute! You don't even know that?

I guess you could say that.

Aw, how cute! You don't even know that?

Aw, how cute! You don't even know that?

Was it 'cause...

you were protecting me from Homare?

Not really.

You were a handful when you were little, that's all.

Thanks...

Big...

Big Sis.

You're in an awfully good mood, Yachiho.

Maia?!

Come wash your big sister's back like old times.

Excuse me?

Wild God of Extremities

The Great One

"The Great One."

An ability that controls a massive, sturdy pair of hands individually.

The hands can be invisible.

I won't take "no" for an answer.

Why the hell are you using your ability in the bath?!

I haven't lost to Himari yet.

I'll sneak into Yuuki's room to seduce him,

put him under my spell...

and steal him for myself!

Y'know, this is actually kind of embarrassing.

Let's get this over with!

He's gone!

You're a little too late.

Himari and the boy went to the other dimension with Fubuki.

To go over what happened at the Banquet.

They're working hard.

Lady Tovera!

I came here to mess with Yuuki Wakura, too.

How disappointing.

Yeah, well...

Head to toe, you look like a kid.

"Ephemeral," Tovera's ability,

Ephemeral

Azuma Years

allows her to suck

the life force out of others.

Tovera absorbs the life force from flowers to restore her youth.

By sharing the excess life force she has stored with others,

she can also accelerate growth and healing.

Talk about a freakish ability...

You were thinking something rude just now, weren't you?

No, of course not!

Still, damn that Fubuki.

Getting the jump on us like that.

And those...

are the inadequacies that I noticed during the Banquet.

You're especially lacking in awareness of your periphery.

I'll keep that in mind.

Thank you for the valuable lesson.

You're welcome.

Let's practice that again once we get home.

You got it!

Moving on.

Try Heavenward this time.

Uh...

Oh no! Did you just borrow him?!

Oops.

Well, as long as we're here...

perhaps I should ride him.

What?!

Wait a minute.

I was in the middle of using Yuuki just now.

I loaned him to her right afterwards, so his reward...

My mother-

Will Fubuki and I have to reward him at the same time?!

Eternal Chains: Slave

Human Bullet

My whole body feels heavy.

This is what loaning him is like.

I guess it can happen by accident.

All right then. Show me what you've got.

Roger!

Himari, can you handle a light sparring match?

Bring it on!

Here goes!

I'm not quite as strong or fast...

But...

I bounced off?!

It's like you're made of rubber.

Can you leap into the air and destroy that boulder?

I'm on it.

So high!

For the last part, consolidate your power into your arms.

That's insanely strong!

If we leverage your body's flexibility, it becomes a versatile tool.

Ugh, I'm exhaused.

I could really go for something sweet right now.

Okay.

I guess we're doing this.

I wondered why my body led me straight to the kitchen.

So this is your reward. You're all worn out, aren't you?

Mwah!

Be grateful I'm feeding you!

Come here.

It's your reward...

so there's no need to hold back.

Besides, if I don't do it, the reward won't end!

Your training is going to become more grueling from here on out.

Drop by the Azuma house every now and then.

I'll help you relieve some tension.

Oh, come on! It's still going?!

That's the spirit, Himari!

How indecent can you get?!

Now, Himari.

Where's your sense of compassion?

Miss Kawabata,

you have a magazine interview and photoshoot on your schedule tomorrow.

I'll send you the details again.

'Kay. Thanks a bunch.

Shiki Kawabata

Styling Outfits for Maximum Happiness

10 Habits for Enhancing Beauty

I wonder what they'll ask at the interview.

My goodness, you're stunning!

You passed the first round of prey auditions!

Whoopsies!

Big Sis Shikoku would say that making a scene is a big no-no!

The summer season has arrived!

Arrived?

Summer's nearly over.

Non, non!

My summer starts right now!

It's not often we get time off.

Let's kick back and enjoy a day in the normal world.

Too bad Himari couldn't join us.

Well, we can't afford to leave the dorm empty.

And you...

You haven't forgotten which squad you're in, have you?

I'm merely stopping by on my break.

I finished the floatie!

All right!

Let's go swim, Nei!

Okay!

They've got perfect figures!

I saw Commander Ezo that one time.

She was gorgeous, too.

Let's get out there with them, Yukki!

S-sure!

The commanders have me beat in combat power,

but I'll make up for it with skill and a proactive attitude!

No backing down!

Well, it's time I get back to work.

Okay. Good luck out there!

That was fun!

I can't wait to get Big Sis back to normal so we can have a blast like we did today.

Guess who!

Shushu?

Ya knew it was me right away, huh?

What's the matter?

Now to hit him with my new technique!

Selective Paradigm Shift!

Only my boobs get bigger!

I was waiting for the shower...

but you were taking too long.

S-sorry for making you wait!

It's all yours!

It's working! The vacation's loosening him up!

Summer magic is incredible!

I came up with a whole bunch of romantic plans in preparation for today!

I won't let him escape!

Great view, huh?

Shushu.

Everything in Mato looks the same, so it hits even harder.

So true!

Y'know, us two watching the sunset like this...

It's like we're a couple.

Your collection of romance manga in your room got bigger.

Been reading too much?

Huh? You noticed that?

You mentioned before that you weren't really into romance manga.

Oh, well...

Guess you could say I'm at that age!

That makes sense.

It does?

You've gotten even cuter lately, Shushu.

Oops, time's up.

I'd better head to practice.

All my plans went down the drain!

Yukki!

I get the feeling this has happened before!

Yukki! You dangerous, dangerous man!

I gotta get stronger...

at my ability and at playing mind games!

All right, let's start our session.

Miss Kyouka, let's practice Heavenward!

Heavenward, huh?

That form is less efficient and takes too much of a toll on you.

Think of it as a last resort.

This form is your baseline.

But-

The way I see it...

Heavenward didn't lose to Fubuki because you lack experience with it.

It's too powerful, and you couldn't control it on your own.

Oh...

Which is why you'll be able move effortlessly with more training,

even in Heavenward form.

Got it!

For now, I want to practice different kinds of long-range attacks.

Long-range?

One of the Eight Thunder Gods had wings.

We should anticipate our enemy being able to fly.

Ah.

All I can do right now is throw rocks at them.

I have an idea. We'll test it out.

First, we get warmed up!

Yes, ma'am!

Were you always this fast in your normal form?

I got faster 'cause of training!

No, it seems like more than that.

I've been transforming into my Whirlwind form a lot lately,

so my body feels lighter for some reason.

Wait a minute...

Whirlwind.

Shining Star.

Iwatooshi.

Phoenix Wings.

Killer Fang.

Human Bullet.

The more I loan him to the others, the stronger his normal Slave form gets?!

My normal Slave form gets stronger when you lend me out?

Reward in

Progress

Exactly.

Your muscles are retaining the benefits of the various forms

you take on with the others.

Which makes it an even more valuable approach.

That being said, if you're against it-

In that case...

it might be a good idea to loan me to the others more often!

Yeah, probably.

Miss Kyouka-

I didn't mean to cut her off like that.

I wonder what she was going to say.

In retrospect...

it was the same when she slayed the Unihorn.

During important battles,

Miss Kyouka always uses this katana to attack the enemy herself.

You're one hundred percent dedicated to your master.

I ought to be more like you!

And if that means working with the others...

Let's do this!

Now then...

Today, we'll be taking turns riding Yuuki Wakura.

What?!

Yuuki Wakura, lie down over there.

Yes, ma'am!

Well, here I go...

Flex your abs.

L-like this?

Yay!

It doesn't hurt when I sit like this, right?

Just relax.

I'll teach you a lesson, Yuuki Wakura.

That's it, well done.

Um, am I too heavy?

Aw c'mon, don't be a lazy bum!

Am I doing this right?

Hey, are you listening to Miss Yakumo?

What a horrible dream...

Why?

What's with this awful ache in my chest?

Yuuki?

Miss Kyouka!

Perfect timing!

For what?

About the whole "lending me out" thing...

I...

changed my mind!

Emergencies are a different story, but I don't want our baseline to change!

I want to keep working with you!

Earlier, I...

I thought I had no choice if I wanted to get stronger.

But it bothered me...

Patrols or battles or whatever else, I want to do it with you!

The reason my life looks the way it does is because of you!

Besides, there's barely even a difference after one of the others borrows me!

I didn't notice until you said something!

Yuuki...

But more importantly, my training sessions with you are usually way more-

Yuuki!

It's about time!

That's exactly why you're my slave!

Yeah!

All right, let's get training!

To come up with a new technique!

These chains exist as part of my ability.

I should be able to extend them now that I'm more familiar with Yuuki.

Let's make it happen.

Got it!

Yuuki!

Okay!

This light...

That could come in handy for all sorts of things.

Reward in

Progress

You did a fantastic job tonight, Yuuki.

We have more options in combat now.

I'll keep up the good work!

Was that a conch?!

I think one blow means there's an emergency of some sort.

Three blows?!

That signal...

The Eight Thunder Gods!

Store this one, too.

Just a few more 'til we hit our goal!

And boy, am I starving...

Love beam!

Wanna know and wanna do, wanna touch

These feelings pouring out of me just won't stop

Sweet, so sweet, let me in with your body darling

I'll domesticate you, time for a reward

With the heat from skin on skin overlapping

It's fully charged

Now ready to launch!

Shoot from my hand now, love love beam

Aim for your heart now, love love beam

Bridging the gap between us

And firing from point blank

Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay!

You won't escape my love love beam

To the ends of the Earth, love love beam

Yeah, love is what changes the world

Dye it all heart-colored, even the darkness

Aw, our Himarin's grown up so much, hasn't she?

At what?
