By now, Yusuke can proudly say that he knows how to deal with a good portion of the Yanderes. Irina and Xenovia are not the particularly crazy type. On the contrary, they fall more on the tame side, though the two of them do seem a bit stubborn.
With his accumulated experience, Yusuke easily knows what to say and do to raise their submission value and keep them in line.
The two girls practically blue-screened for almost three full minutes before they finally recovered.
Irina's legs grew weak, and she let the weight of her limp body rest against him. With heavy breathing she whispered, "Darling..."
"Found him!" She was cut off mid-sentence by Yusuke. He glanced toward the area around the abandoned church and said, "Let's go before he runs again."
The fight between Kiba and Freed was fierce, and once it broke out, it immediately caught Yusuke's attention while he continued releasing his Haki.
"Really?" Xenovia blinked before exclaiming, "Yu, you are actually amazing!"
Yusuke was immune to being praised by beautiful women by now. He was about to run toward the fight when Irina and Xenovia stopped him. "Yu... Darling, if we run there, it will be too slow."
"And?" Yusuke asked.
"You are very fast. Can you lift us?" Their excuse sounded valid and reasonable, but the perverted expressions on their faces ruined the credibility completely.
"...Alright." Yusuke shook his head helplessly before giving in. These two clearly enjoyed it when he held them last time and wanted a repeat. He lifted Irina in a princess carry and had Xenovia climb onto his back.
With a light tap on the ground, he shot upward into the sky and flew straight toward the fighting scene.
Teleportation is one of the most convenient things magic has brought. Unfortunately, teleporting to a place without a teleportation formation usually takes time, often a few minutes. One needs to calculate the precise direction and destination; otherwise, the teleportation will fail. After all, no one wants to end up teleporting into a wall or a tree.
There are some exceptions. A few very skilled people can teleport extremely fast and do it in a short amount of time.
With Yusuke's speed, it was far quicker to just fly there directly rather than teleport.
"Yu, do my breasts feel good?" Xenovia suddenly whispered in his ear, pressing her soft chest against his back.
"..." Yusuke wisely chose not to answer that question.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of metal colliding rang out as Kiba and Freed exchanged blows at a rapid pace. Kiba was being pushed back slowly after Issei's boost wore off, and with the Excalibur Nightmare, Freed was taking the initiative.
[BOOST!]
Issei stood at the back, charging his Boosted Gear. This time, he was planning to use his Dragon Shot to blast the shit out of this sick bastard and that creepy tongue he kept sticking out.
"Tongue twister guy, you're actually alive?"
"Yusuke-san?"
"Yusuke Aoki?"
Suddenly, Yusuke's voice cut through the fight. Issei and Kiba looked up to see him hovering in the air, holding Xenovia and Irina.
"You know the great me?" Freed licked his sword. He was just a clone and didn't recognize Yusuke, the one who had killed the real Freed.
"The tomboy and the airhead, you two are here too! Perfect, I can kill you all this time, kyahahahaha!" Freed showed no fear, letting out his vulgar and obnoxious laughter.
"Irina, you go deal with him. I'm tired," Xenovia said, ignoring him. She tightened her hold on Yusuke and spoke to Irina.
"I suffered emotional damage. I'm not in any condition to fight. Why don't you do it?" Irina pressed her cheek against Yusuke's chest, refusing to move. She didn't want to leave her spot. Being in Yusuke's arms felt like heaven. It was so good, so intoxicating. How could she just casually give up on this incredible and blissful feeling?
"Two more girls? He's expanding his harem again! Damn it, I want a big harem too!" Issei glared at Yusuke, his eyes burning with envy. He clenched his fists and said, "At this rate, he's going to become the harem king before me!"
[Partner, stop it. Get some help...] Ddraig said helplessly.
"You two go deal with him." Black lines appeared on Yusuke's forehead. He didn't mind clingy women; he actually liked them a lot, but he also liked people who could distinguish between work and pleasure. He immediately let go of Irina, causing her to fall, then pulled Xenovia from his back and threw her toward Freed.
"Kyaaah! Darling, how could you do this to me?!"
"Yu! No! I still want to hold you some more!"
The two cried in despair as they fell, but despite this, they quickly adjusted their positions and rushed toward Freed mid-air. Irina drew her Excalibur Mimic, transforming it into a rapier, while Xenovia pulled out her Durandal.
"Dealing with so many Yandere quests at the same time is somewhat exhausting." Including Xenovia and Irina, Yusuke had seven quests pending. He was already stuck with no progress on the other five, and adding these two just complicated things further. The only good points were that the rewards were great, and the two girls were hot and cute.
[With great booty bitches, come great power.] The system gave him a single answer.
"WTF?! Aren't you getting the order wrong?" Yusuke nearly lost control of his Telekinesis and fell off.
[That's just what rizzless losers do. True rizzlers don't need great power to get great booty bitches,] the system said as if she were a wise old man.
"Freed, I will kill you in the name of Yusuke! I mean... in the name of the Lord!" Holding her sword high, Xenovia roared as a dense golden aura gathered in the Durandal before she slashed down and released it at him.
"May you rot in hell! Amen!" Irina thrust her rapier, and it extended rapidly as it shot toward him.
The two were in a very bad mood. This bastard showed up way too fast, and their date with Yusuke got interrupted. Today, he had to pay for that.
"Whoa! Scary! Scary!" Freed was genuinely scared this time. He frantically activated Excalibur Rapidly and hurriedly retreated to the back. As soon as he escaped the range of their attacks, he opened his coat and pulled out another sword.
"Excalibur Transparency!" Xenovia and Irina shouted the name of the sword at the same time, while Kiba glared at Freed. "Another Holy Sword!"
"Yusuke!" Before Freed could use Excalibur Transparency, reinforcements arrived from different directions. Rias, Koneko, and Akeno came rushing in together, while on the other side, Sona, Tsubaki, Aika, and Murayama advanced. From the air, Raynare, Kalawarna, and Asia descended.
"Kiba-senpai!" Koneko called out, staring at him. He had gone into emo mode and left their peerage, and she was slightly worried. After all, he was their comrade.
"Koneko-chan... Rias-Buchou... Akeno-Fukubuchou..." Kiba clenched his swords tightly, looking at his friends and comrades with complicated emotions. He hadn't expected to run into them so quickly.
"Yuuto..." Rias muttered. This was the boy she had saved in the past and even given his name. But her expression darkened the next moment as she looked away, staring at Yusuke. Someone who could betray her after everything she had done for him was not someone she needed.
Having been 'exposed' to Yusuke for months now, Rias had subtly changed, and not for the better. Especially after Akeno 'betrayed' her, she began to value loyalty above all else. Even if his intentions were good, Kiba had betrayed her, leaving Rias feeling deeply sad and disappointed. Right now, the only person in her peerage she could half-trust was Koneko.
Koneko might also be a Yandere and a love rival, but she rarely defied Rias when it came to Yusuke and even shared her 'precious' materials with her. It could be said that the two had a complex yet delicate relationship.
"Issei!" Not long after, two figures came rushing from the woods. They were Riser and Saji. The latter quickly ran to Issei and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I didn't really fight," Issei said, scratching the back of his head and giving a weak laugh. His eyes wandered past Saji and landed on the multiple women who had gathered. "Shit, they're all so beautiful! I'm so envious! This is the dream! This is the life! I'd give up everything to have a harem like his!"
'No, you are not!' Yusuke's ears twitched as he heard Issei's words and muttered in his mind. This guy was exactly the type who would probably be traumatized if his girlfriend cheated on him. If he had to endure even 1% of what Yusuke went through, he'd likely end up mentally broken.
"Riser? What are you doing here?!" Rias glared at him and asked coldly.
"Rias, don't misunderstand. I didn't come here for you," Riser said, instinctively taking a step back. He raised both hands while speaking. For some reason, a deep sense of disgust bubbled up from his heart when he saw Rias. After being betrayed by all the women in his life, he had started to feel repulsed by them. Suppressing these feelings, he quickly explained, "I came to this town to recruit new peerage members!"
He pointed at Saji and Issei, who stood by his side, and said, "Father has already spoken with your brother, Sirzechs Lucifer-sama, and your brother agreed."
According to his father and brother, since Rias had refused to take Issei into her peerage, Sirzechs Lucifer decided to give him to Riser as a form of compensation for what had happened.
The Phenex House may have only held a Marquis rank, but they wielded significant economic and political influence thanks to the Phoenix Tears. They had always been strong supporters of the Maou faction, in opposition to the Great King faction. Sirzechs Lucifer did not want to lose such a powerful ally, so he had already discussed compensation with them long before the match with Yusuke even began.
Sirzechs Lucifer also aimed to hit two birds with one stone. By having Riser take in Issei, he would not only appease the Phenex House but also draw Issei, the Red Dragon Emperor, into his faction. This way, even if his influence over the Red Dragon Emperor wouldn't be as strong as it would have been if his sister were his master, it would still be considerable. And with some effort, he could strengthen that influence even further.
"Onii-sama's permission? Why wasn't I informed of this?" Rias narrowed her eyes, feeling somewhat annoyed at being kept in the dark. Still, she wisely decided not to pursue the matter for now. All of this could wait until her plan succeeded.
She also didn't bother asking what he meant by new peerage members, since he already had a complete peerage.
"Hey, nasty devils, are you all done talking?" Freed suddenly interrupted with wild laughter. "Because someone wants to have a little chat with you!"
