"Honestly, this whole thing became such a mess, and my equipment is broken." However, Nitori Kawashiro looked at the energy collected in the instrument. Although it wasn't much, it was enough for her purposes. Since this was just a preliminary test, the collected energy was sufficient for her research and development.
Nitori then looked at the others who had followed. Apart from Cirno, Daiyousei was blushing and wouldn't look at Kars, and Wriggle and Mystia were in a similar state. Rumia was lucky. Since she disliked sunlight, she had kept herself shrouded in darkness the entire time and hadn't witnessed the sight. However, this experience would likely be unforgettable for Daiyousei, Wriggle, and Mystia.
"It really feels like ages since I was like this." Kars looked at the much smaller Cirno and the others. Seeing them from this grown-up perspective felt quite different. "Right, I should go see Little Auntie Yuuka's reaction." This was what Kars was most looking forward to. He really wanted to see how Yuuka Kazami would react to his adult appearance.
"You should go back and change clothes first." Nitori reminded him. After all, he was only wearing a box to cover himself. Running around outside like that would quickly become news throughout all of Gensokyo.
"That's true. I'll head back then." Kars nodded, bid farewell to the group, and hastily flew back to the Scarlet Devil Mansion. When he flew back, Sakuya was stunned by Kars's attire.
"Young Master Kars? Why have you suddenly returned to this form? And why are you dressed like that?"
"I got help from Nitori. My clothes were ripped. Sakuya, please quickly get me some clothes."
"I understand." Hearing Kars's explanation, Sakuya didn't hesitate and quickly fetched him a suitable set of clothes to change into.
"I'm heading out now!" Sakuya watched Kars rush off immediately after getting dressed and sighed softly. Why did he suddenly turn back into an adult? His little boy appearance was so cute. Although his grown-up form was handsome, the little boy was still the best. I wonder when I'll get to see him as a little boy again.
Kars quickly made his way to the Field of the Sun, following his memory to Yuuka Kazami's usual sunbathing spot. Yuuka, who had been resting with her eyes closed, opened them. She sensed a powerful being approaching without concealing its strength. The person seemed quite strong, which made her feel intrigued. It's been so long since anyone dared to come here so blatantly.
"Little Auntie Yuuka!" Yuuka, who was considering how to handle the intruder, paused slightly when she heard the familiar title and the somewhat familiar voice. When she saw Kars, she recognized him despite the significant change.
"You… you grew up?" Although she knew Kars could grow up by sunbathing, he had grown up way too fast! How long had it been since they last met? He had gotten so strong already! Even on steroids, it couldn't be this fast!
"Yep! I used Nitori's technology to absorb much more sunlight than usual, so I grew up quickly!" After Kars explained, Yuuka asked a question that greatly concerned her.
"So, will you stay like this from now on?"
"Not necessarily. This form is because I absorbed enough sunlight. If I use up the energy, I'll revert to my little boy form." After Kars explained, he noticed Yuuka's smile suddenly became brighter than usual. He was slightly confused.
"Excellent, this is very good." Yuuka was utterly satisfied. She could feel the immense power contained within Kars. If he used this power to fight her, he might barely reach a level that satisfied her. By enhancing his combat abilities, he could potentially rise a few more levels. After a fulfilling fight, Kars would revert to his little boy form once his power was depleted. At that time, she could hold him again to rest and enjoy his company. Wouldn't that life be absolutely wonderful?
"Little Auntie Yuuka?" Kars looked at Yuuka's smile. It was a beautiful smile, but for some reason, he suddenly felt a chill and had an urge to leave. He couldn't understand why.
"Kars, do you want to play a game with me?"
"Hmm? Little Auntie Yuuka, you like games too? What kind of game do you like?" Kars asked curiously.
"Fighting games. If you play this game with me, I can also teach you how to become stronger." Slowly molding Kars into her ideal playmate would not only satisfy her craving for battle but also provide emotional fulfillment afterward. Yuuka suddenly looked forward to this future.
"Little Auntie Yuuka, you want me to fight you? Wouldn't that be… inappropriate?" Kars was hesitant. He didn't know how strong Yuuka was, but she sounded very powerful.
"No, not at all. In fact, that would make me very happy." Yuuka walked up to Kars. Looking at Kars, who was now much taller than her, she reached out and touched his body, which allowed her to better feel the power within him. The scorching hot and powerful energy made her eager to see what kind of surprise he could bring her.
"The better you perform, the happier I'll be. Do you understand, Kars?" Yuuka gazed into Kars's eyes. As their eyes met, Kars understood that Yuuka was serious. Given the situation, Kars felt he had no reason to object, as this would benefit him completely.
"I understand! Then, Little Auntie Yuuka, you better be careful!" Kars flew into the air, and the light radiating from his entire body made him look even more formidable. This was undoubtedly the sight Yuuka most wanted to see.
"You better satisfy me, Kars." Seeing Yuuka's slightly manic smile, Kars suddenly felt that this might not be a good thing after all.
