Chained Soldier (魔都精兵のスレイブ)

Well, well, how precious.

- Your hand. - Huh?

Uh.

Well, it's just as I thought all along.

He's like a cute little puppy.

This woman, she doesn't look anything like her,

but she reminds me of my sister.

This is the Supreme Commander

in charge of the Demon Defense Force.

Ren Yamashiro.

I'm heading back now.

Keep an eye on them until the recovery squad gets here.

Roger.

It may seem like her ability is the power of flight

based on the way she moves,

but that's only a fraction of what she can do.

They underestimated her, and it killed them.

They're human, aren't they?

Peaches only grow in Mato in Japan.

I wonder if they came here to steal them.

We periodically supply peaches to other countries,

but I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted more.

Mato invites bloodshed.

It's a dangerous thing.

Thank you for dropping us off, Kyouka!

It's really helpful.

No problem. It's on our patrol route.

The commander's meeting went a lot faster than I expected.

A consequence of the Supreme Commander

investigating the attackers herself.

It seems like we'll be having meetings

more frequently from now on.

It's likely there will also be more joint missions

between squadrons in the future.

How are your students coming along in their training?

They are passable, I suppose.

I do train all of them under the same conditions, of course,

but they're only human.

Although they can't hold a candle to you, Kyouka.

The way you take down Shuuki unarmed is incredible!

Will you practice with me sometime?

Sure, I would like that.

Really? I can't wait!

Each of the commanders is strong in their own way.

And Miss Myouga,

she's really spry for someone her age.

While she was a commander,

she served as a mentor to whip the younger members into shape.

I'm guessing Fubuki from the 9th Squadron

will do that from now on.

Oh, and another thing.

I understand why people are so intimidated

by the Supreme Commander.

You know, Yuuki, you're on her radar now.

What do you mean by that?

The Supreme Commander is very fond of animals,

especially dogs.

What about the other commanders?

Do any of them seem to stand out to you?

Hmm.

Actually, the newly titled commander from earlier.

She just reminded me of how talented you are.

She really looks up to you.

Really?

So you're a flatterer now?

No, I really mean it.

That's nice.

You know you've been scrubbing yourself

for a really long time, Shushu.

Hmm? Have I?

The commander's meeting finished early.

This is my chance!

Time to go play in Yuuki's room.

Hmm?

Huh?

You seem exhausted,

so let Nei help you out with things.

I appreciate it.

Nei is your senpai, Mr. Yuuki.

It's her job to help.

Well, thank you, Senpai.

Big Sis...

I had another long, productive day.

Sneaky.

And freeze!

Carefully.

Step one: Infiltration, complete!

Yuuki, come, let's play.

I'm going to be aggressive today!

Figured as much.

Suppressing my powers allows me

to sneak through the barrier.

Oh, and look, who just so happens to be here.

Sleeping like a baby.

The perfect opportunity to nab him and scram.

[attack thudding

Don't you dare touch Yuuki!

How bold.

You aren't even a commander, are you?

And you're challenging me?

Back off, you gatecrasher.

You're one to talk, hussy!

The woman who fought Rairen...

Don't you lay a finger on him!

Why don't we settle things down?

You came here to see him for a reason, right?

Well, so did I.

Let's avoid a fight and settle this a different way.

Huh?

Whoever's the best at seducing him is the winner, okay?

You're on.

What?!

So you're not going to give it a try?

Get over here.

I can do this.

Wait a minute.

Something doesn't feel right here.

My body feels heavy.

And another woman touching Yuuki?

Tenka would never let that happen!

They should be under my spell now.

There's no escaping it in such a small space.

That's it, come to me.

One wrong move and the illusion breaks.

Stay calm and wait for them to get close.

Of course, a little illusion wouldn't fool a commander.

Enough tricks!

You know, that's the second time you've hit me.

I will remember this night.

My poor Yuuki, are you all right?

Tenka?

Why are you two in here?

Everything's fine.

One of the Eight Thunder Gods snuck into your room.

What?!

Completely inexcusable.

I had no idea anyone was here!

I'm glad you kept me safe.

Thank you.

Actually, the first person

to arrive on scene was Shushu.

I was the reinforcements.

Thank you, Shushu.

You can count on me!

I'll always protect you, okay?

I'll just sneak in again some other time.

I reported the incident to HQ.

Until the barrier gets reinforced,

we'll sleep together.

This will be fun!

It's like a slumber party!

Guess I should've expected this.

We'll take turns keeping watch.

Goodnight!
