Chapter 25: Heart Necklace
( Yuuki's POV )
Today is my day with Yashima and what she wanted to do is cook together, she looks good with an apron, I haven't had many opportunities to see her cook because of my daily training, and that gives me ideas for the night.
Yuuki: Yashima, do you like to cook?
She and Mitsuha are the best cooks in the house, Mitsuha cooked for her and her sister when they lived alone, but I don't know what Yashima did before we met.
Yashima: Yes, I like it a lot, I started because I thought my future Ashikabi would like that, and then it became my hobby, If I had known the tastes of my ashikabi I would have practiced my desserts more.
We prepare a small banquet and Yashima asks me for my opinion on all her dishes, everything she prepares is delicious but if I say that it will be the same as not saying anything, my opinion is not really useful when she is much better than me but still she listens to everything I have to say.
Yashima: Yuuki, what kind of worlds will we visit on our travels?
Yuuki: umm, I'm not sure, these could be completely different or almost equal to this world, I'm sure the next world will be very similar to this one, why do you ask?
Yashima: I would like to visit a world where I can improve my cooking skills.
Hilda told me that there is an infinite number of different worlds, There are definitely several worlds that meet Yashima's requirements.
Yuuki: yes, that sounds interesting.
Yashima: only if we have time, we have other more important things to do after all.
Yuuki: If we don't have time then I will create more time and I also want to visit such a world.
Yashima: thanks Yuuki.
I mean it, for now, I can't control time but when my body can handle my abilities stopping time will be easy.
Yashima: ok, it's time for dessert.
YES !, now I can give many opinions and suggestions.
//////////
Yashima and I headed to the MBI building for my daily visit with Uzume and Chiho, Chiho is such a sweet girl that a powerful urge to protect her grows inside me every time I see her in almost the same way as my sekireis, Now I understand why Uzume did everything to protect her even though she is not her ashikabi.
*Ring ring*
My thoughts are interrupted by the familiar sound of my smartphone, I think I should change that ringtone, when I looked at the screen I saw a new message from Minaka.
| Good news Yuuki.
After several preparations the stage for the last fight of the third phase is ready, show up tomorrow at port number three and wait for further instructions, hehe I can't wait to see the eight most powerful ashikabis in the capital |
Yashima: something wrong Yuuki?
When Yashima sees me standing staring at my smartphone with a serious look, she asks me with concern in her voice.
Yuuki: no, it is nothing important.
Minaka I hope you have not planned anything too crazy, I know six of those 'powerful ashikabis ', I wonder who will be the last ashikabi.
//////////
Yuuki: Hello girls, how are you?
Chiho: hello Yuuki.
Uzume: hi.
I walk over to Uzume and put my hands on the sides of her head and our noses are almost touching.
Uzume: w-what are you doing Yuuki?
Yuuki: just making sure you've been resting.
Uzume: O-ok
I check on Uzume in case she tries to cover her bags with makeup, but she looks good, more than good from the moment I saw her I noticed that she was an attractive woman but looking at her closely she is gorgeous,
a smile appears on my face and Uzume's face turns redder than before.
Uzume: N-now what?
Yuuki: nothing, thanks for becoming my Sekirei, Uzume.
Uzume: W-why are you saying that all of a sudden, Yuuki.
Chiho: hehe Uzume looks cute when she blushes.
Chiho laughs when she sees Uzume's state and in revenge, she approaches Chiho and whispers something that makes her blush, I change the subject since the two of them were silent for a few seconds.
Yuuki: Chiho, I have a surprise for you.
Chiho tilts her head cutely and looks at me in confusion.
Yuuki: My aunt Takami finally allowed me to bring you something to eat, Yashima's food is delicious, I guarantee it.
We brought some of the food that we prepare and when we start to eat, the joy on her face is obvious, there is no comparison between hospital food and Yashima's food, and when we got to the desserts they were surprised that I had prepared several of them.
Yuuki: Chiho, something came up so I won't be able to visit you tomorrow.
I inform Chiho about my mission tomorrow and she is quiet for a few seconds before answering me.
Chiho: ok, do not worry I'll be fine.
I thought that she wouldn't care but she wasn't saying what she was really thinking.
//////////
Yashima and I headed to restock our refrigerator because after our banquet there were no ingredients left for dinner, but before I take Yashima's hand and go to a specific store.
Yashima: Yuuki, what are we doing here?
Yuuki: I just wanted to give you something to show my appreciation.
The place where Yashima and I are is a jewelry store, the gift I wanted to give Yashima is a necklace, the one that catches my attention was one made of silver that has a hollow heart, perfect to be modified later.
I show the necklace to Yashima and she turns around and moves her hair to the side so I can put it on her.
Yuuki: Do you like it?
Yashima: it's beautiful, thank you Yuuki.
I do not forget to buy other necklaces for my other sekireis and while we are still buying Yashima continues looking at hers with a smile.
//////////
When we returned to our house the girls received their necklaces with a smile.
Sitting on the roof of my house I look at the sky, although you can not see anything but a cloudy sky, but I know that that is where my reward is, 'Kouten '.
While I was thinking that the time to leave this world was getting closer, someone leans against my back.
I turn my head and I see Yashima with her eyes closed hugging me, My sekireis can feel all my emotions so it is impossible to hide my worries from them, I hold Yashima's hand and continue looking at the sky.
