Predicament

Parasite Arc 6

Miyuki strode to Tatsuya's side and bestowed upon him a kiss, freeing him of all the restraints that held him back.

Torrents of Psion coruscated around Tatsuya, relentlessly blinding eyes. He was not afraid of showing it off, as it only made him seem more majestic and invincible. He proudly exhibited it until the Parasites were convinced that it was not an illusion before calming the raging Psions down it.

"Miyuki, use Cocytus on them before they self-destruct." Tatsuya requested.

"Yes, onii-sama." Miyuki did not only unlock Tatsuya's full potential, Miyuki too was free from all the shackles since she did not have to dedicate half her magic powers to seal Tatsuya's magic.

Physically, nothing changed. It was their souls that were frozen, with no way to thaw it, unable to die or live. Stuck between the two states, they could only stand still like statues. In a flash, the battle was won.

"How did you find out that I was here?" Tatsuya asked.

"I had Fujibayashi-san help me out."

"The Electron Sorceress? I thought she was on my side, not yours."

"She's neutral."

Tatsuya sighed, he considered himself lucky that Miyuki had come here on her own accord to help him out since the battle would have become rather messy if she did not show up. However, he did not like to expose Miyuki to even the slightest bit of danger, especially when he had no means of defending her.

"Miyuki, I appreciate your help but you shouldn't follow me next time. It is too dangerous, especially since I do not have any means of defeating them."

"That is why you need me, I can help you."

"You can, but I do not want to expose you to danger."

Miyuki twirled around, "not a single scratch, there isn't even a speck of dirt," she said while smiling.

"But—"

"You lied to me." Miyuki's mood suddenly worsened as she cut Tatsuya off.

"You contacted Oba-ue?"

"I wanted to get her permission before heading here, but apparently it was not needed."

Tatsuya lowered his head, unable to match Miyuki's gaze. He felt bad every time he lied to Miyuki and this time wasn't an exception. He felt worst after Miyuki found out, hoping that Miyuki would understand his rationale behind lying to her.

"You are overprotective of me, onii-sama. I am strong, my ability is comparable to any descendant of the 10MC. I might even be stronger than Mayumi-senpai, so why don't you let me join you?"

'Is it true? Am I overprotective of Miyuki?' Tatsuya doubted himself. All he knew was that he had done a good job of keeping Miyuki safe, but never had he thought that he was keeping her too safe.

"Onii-sama?" Miyuki snapped Tatsuya out of his daze. It was rare for her brother to be in a daze, no, this may just be the first time she had seen him in a daze.

"Sorry, let us talk more about this when we are home. For now, I have to do some cleanup."

"We are not done yet. Make sure your weekend is free. Both days, completely free. No excuses, no compromises." Miyuki said as authoritatively as she. She was desperate to get some time alone with him to separate him and Mayumi for a while. She felt that they had been spending way too much time together recently.

Tatsuya really wanted to negotiate with Miyuki to attempt to bring it down to a day. However, his instincts told him otherwise. He would rather leave it at that, he knew that his sister could dish out something worse than that considering her authority over him.
