Murayama's Sacred Gear, Amethyst Night, has the main ability of boosting both strength and speed.
As a Knight, her speed was already the fastest among Sona's peerage, and when she activated her Sacred Gear, it increased even further, making her the second fastest after Yusuke and surpassing Kiba. Her strength also grew, making her stronger than all the Rooks, including Koneko, if the latter wasn't using Touki.
This wasn't just because of her Sacred Gear's boost, but also thanks to Yusuke's Master's Blessing, which increased her stats by a full 50%.
Right now, it wasn't only Murayama who was powerful. Aika, who had never encountered supernaturals before meeting Yusuke, had become very strong as well, far surpassing Irina and Xenovia thanks to Yusuke's skills, the various boosts, and her training over the past few months.
"Who are you?" Xenovia's eyes flashed with shock amid her burning fury. She couldn't believe someone had actually blocked her Durandal!
Murayama smiled grimly at the woman causing a commotion in her and Yusuke's home. Stepping forward, she pushed her back and said, "I'm Murayama, Yusuke's first woman, the one who took his virginity."
[How sad... she doesn't even know your first woman was that flat-chested ego balloon who ghosted you for a month.] The system snickered in his mind. There was nothing she enjoyed more than watching these Yanderes tear each other apart.
'Why are you bringing up those disgusting memories?' Yusuke scowled inwardly, feeling filthy just remembering that woman from his past life.
"!!!" It was as if her mind had become Hiroshima, a nuclear blast tearing through her thoughts and leaving nothing but chaos behind. Her vision went completely dark, her body trembled violently, and she almost collapsed. Yu! Her Yu! He had slept with another woman! He wasn't pure anymore! Why? Why hadn't he waited for her? Why did he have to sleep with some random woman?!
Even though Yusuke didn't know she existed, Xenovia still felt betrayed. This was supposed to be their fated encounter, their destined love. Once she defeated her rival Irina, she should have been able to claim Yusuke for herself. But now it all felt like a lie.
Yusuke, her Yu, already had a woman, and from the looks of it, more than one. That slut had even claimed to be his first woman!
No. She can't blame Yusuke. He did nothing wrong. It must be these sluts who deceived him and lied to him. Maybe they even forced him. The Yu that she knew is a gentle and caring person. They must have done something to make him fall for their tricks.
With that justification in mind, Xenovia's eyes widened, thin red veins spidering across them. She clenched her sword so hard her knuckles cracked, "AGH!!!!! I will kill you! I will kill you all! How dare you defile my Yu, my husband!"
"Here we go again, another one in her delusional phase," Murayama chuckled disdainfully. She could see her former self in this busty tomboy, shouting 'My Yu-kun' at every turn. Why couldn't these women be smart like Tsubaki and Sona and just accept the reality that Yusuke is the one who owns them, not the other way around?
"We just need to beat some sense into them. These stupid bitches don't know that Yu-sama doesn't like being called that," Aika said. She sidestepped and kicked Irina, who had just stood up, trying to attack her furiously.
Irina reacted just like Xenovia. Fueled by fury, she ignored the pain and charged at Aika, trying to kill her. Unfortunately for her, Aika's Observation Haki was at level 3. She could easily predict every attack and slam the shit out of Irina.
Aika felt she was being very merciful by not even using her Fire Dragon Slayer Magic. Well... the main reason she wasn't using it was that she didn't want to damage the house.
Swoosh!
Murayama moved nimbly in a zigzagging motion, spinning around Xenovia. When she stopped, multiple wounds covered Xenovia's body, blood gushing from the cuts before she blacked out and collapsed.
"Yu-kun, you don't have to worry about these two. That masochist and I will teach them." Murayama said to Yusuke with a wide, creepy smile.
"Let's take them to the basement and give them a tough education," she told Aika, who had finished off Irina, speaking impatiently.
"Don't order me around, broken faucet!" Aika grabbed Irina by the collar, dragging her across the floor. She glared at Murayama, speaking in a disgusted tone.
"Hmph! I won't bother bickering with you!" Murayama snorted disdainfully. She held Xenovia on her shoulders and walked toward the elevator, followed by Aika dragging Irina across the floor. As she stepped into the elevator, she suddenly thought of something and said, "Asia-san, can you please lend us a hand and heal them?"
Asia's body stiffened at being called out so suddenly. At first, she thought she had been caught red-handed stealing glances at Yusuke. Upon hearing Murayama's request, she answered timidly and followed them, "Y-yes!"
The poor girl had no idea that most people here possessed Observation Haki and had long since noticed her little actions.
Yusuke didn't budge as he watched the scene. He was actually a bit surprised. "Is it okay to leave these two to them?" He was used to handling all Yanderes on his own, so it felt strange that without him intervening, the Yanderes were subdued so effortlessly.
"Let them be. They need a reality check before we can talk to them," Tsubaki stepped over. She held his hand, giving it a light squeeze. Kissing his cheek, she whispered, "You don't have to shoulder everything on your own. We are here for you, Yusuke."
She had promised to help him and support him in everything, and she intended to keep that promise for her entire life. If Murayama and Aika hadn't made a move, it would have fallen to her or Sona, or perhaps Raynare and Kalawarna.
"..." Rias watched everything with distant eyes. Subconsciously, her fists clenched tightly. She had never expected that the two humans who had been so weak not long ago that they couldn't even resist a simple hypnosis spell had grown this strong.
If these two were this strong, then what did that make Akeno, Sona, and the others?!
Even Koneko had grown stronger, while she remained the same.
'I can't allow myself to fall behind! I need to grow stronger! Yusuke! I won't let anyone take him from me!!!' Rias gritted her teeth, her azure eyes blazing with determination.
"Kokabiel has started making moves. It's clear he's planning something in this town," Yusuke said, sitting on the sofa. Almost immediately, Koneko appeared in a flash on his lap. He habitually patted her head as she spoke, "Although I don't know why Freed didn't take the Holy Swords from the church duo, we need to prepare for the worst."
When Yusuke arrived, he found the two swords still in the hands of Xenovia and Irina, and there was no sign of Freed or Kokabiel. It was strange, since according to Xenovia, their main target should have been the Holy Swords. They should have attacked first to steal the Excalibur Mimic and Destruction.
They hadn't even finished off the two girls.
So was this really about the Holy Swords, or was it something else?
"Regardless of his motive, since he came to this town, it's entirely justifiable for us to kill him," Sona said calmly. She turned to the other Yanderes and asked, "If we work together, we can do it, right girls?"
They had been training diligently over this past period to master their new skills, and they felt more confident in their own strength.
"Yes, even if it's Kokabiel-sama, if he so much as annoys Yusuke-sama, I'll kill him and rip his wings off," Raynare said, nodding seriously. She used to worship the leaders of the fallen angels, but now she was ready to kill them all if it meant pleasing Yusuke.
"The problem is how to make him show up. This bastard, despite his strength, has been hiding all this while," Tsubaki said.
"Yes, if only we could understand his goal," Kalawarna added.
"Isn't it easy? We already have two baits with us," Sona smiled, her smile somewhat ominous. "Since Kokabiel made a move because of them, it is entirely possible that he would expose himself once more because of them as well."
"You mean use the church girls as bait?" Rias narrowed her eyes and asked. She didn't want to be left out of the conversation; after all, this town was her territory.
"Yes. If this method fails, we can only split up and search for him separately," Sona said.
...
Bang!
"Ahh!" Xenovia's figure was sent flying like a rocket, crashing against the thick wall. She slid down it and hit the ground, blood spraying from her mouth as the Holy Sword Durandal slipped from her grip.
"Weak, too weak, yet so arrogant!" Aika sneered at her, pink fire swirling around her. It had been an hour since she and Murayama started educating these two girls, and by now, they had already switched opponents multiple times.
"Damn it! Damn it! How could this be!" Xenovia tried to stand but collapsed to her knees. Using Durandal for support, she glared at Aika, her eyes blazing with hatred and fury.
"Please don't move," Asia said as she ran to her, her voice soft and timid while she used Twilight Healing to mend her injuries.
"...Thank you," Xenovia said, glancing at Asia with a complex expression. As a follower of the church, she knew about Asia's past and had once looked down on her, but now, after being healed by her multiple times, she felt genuinely grateful.
"Hmm," Asia let out a soft hum, lowering her head. No one noticed the hidden gleam flashing in her eyes. She had been keeping up this act for so long just to lower everyone's guard. No one knew she possessed the Incinerate Anthem.
Only by making sure no one saw her as a threat could she find a chance to steal Yusuke.
"Kyaah!" With another cry, the bloodied Irina was sent flying by Murayama, rolling on the ground and stopping right next to Asia's foot. The latter quickly began healing her, asking with concern, "Are you okay?"
"Yes... Sorry for troubling you, Asia-san," Irina said with a weak smile. Her and Xenovia's Church battle suits, tight black outfits, were utterly shredded and damaged. By now, both of them were barely covering their bodies.
"How stubborn. You still haven't learned your lesson?" Murayama strode toward them, staring arrogantly. "All of us are Yu-kun's women, not the other way around. Anyone who tries to hurt him or monopolize him will be dealt with by us first!"
"Darling is mine! He can only be mine!" Irina grew agitated again. Healed, she stood up and glared at Murayama.
"Bullshit! We met Yu-sama much earlier than you two, stupid cunts! Where did you even get the audacity to say something ridiculous like that?!" Aika snarled at her; she and Murayama were clearly Yusuke's first women!
Suddenly, Xenovia stepped forward, gripping Irina's shoulder and speaking gravely, "Irina, stop!"
