Twins

Yuto, Haji, Charlotte, Genesis and Tatsuya went to the official tournament. The final battle was supposed to be between Caliel and Kiseki, originally. With Caliel gone, Revon replaced her.

Unlike the semifinals, the final would be played at the association's main stadium. It was located on a colossal airship. Obviously, walls covered the stand so that it would not fall. But they also had the function of becoming transparent, giving the city a view.

As it would start flying shortly before the match started, everyone needed to arrive early. Anyone who was late could not enter, except for who paid extra. When they sat down in the stands, the match was about to start. The announcer girl began to say:

— Welcome to the official tournament final! As everyone knows, an unforeseen event occurred and Caliel had to be replaced by Revon, the ninja! Without further ado, on the one hand we have...

Suddenly, something strange formed behind the announcer. It looked like a portal leading into a room. Two people came out of that portal. Immediately, everyone in the stands recognized them. As there were numerous nanocameras throughout the entire stadium, they approached the announcer's room to show the stands everything that was happening inside.

The first person to come out was Distortion, the fifth level 7. He had short black hair, military clothing, and purple eyes. He appeared to be over two meters tall.

The second was his twin sister, Unizard, the sixth level 7. She wore a purple wizard uniform and hat. She had orange hair and yellow eyes. She appeared to be nearly two meters tall, but a little shorter than her brother.

Both were the Boss's twin sons. Even his relatives didn't make it to level 7 due to favoritism, so everyone knew they were very strong.

As they were very tall, they had to look down while facing the announcer who had her back turned. She didn't notice the ominous aura until she saw that the entire bleachers fell silent.

She looked back, and before she could say anything, Unizard grabbed her by the hair and lifted her up. With a superior smile, she said calmly:

— My brother and I want to participate in the tournament. Now.

— But, Unizard-sama, we can't change plans at the last minute-

— Do it now or I'll kill you. Is it so difficult to understand your position?

— But…

The announcer looked at Distortion, who was staring at her with an even more frightening smile. There was nothing she could do against those two giants. He said:

— Come on, sis. This is not the right way to ask for something. We have to offer something in return.

He approached the announcer and said:

— Either you do as we say, or I'll explode your organs and make soup out of them for your family to drink. You choose.

Unizard felt uncomfortable with the unnecessary comment, but maintained her aura of superiority. She continued:

— If you understand, do your job.

— Y-Yes!

Unizard released the announcer, who soon began changing the details of the battle on the control panel in the room. Both twins watched the change of plans. When the announcer was selecting Kiseki's combatant, Distortion commented:

— Kiseki will be my opponent. I want to revel in the suffering of this fragile little creature.

— A-Alright, Distortion-sama!

— Hey, you're too tense. Are you afraid of having me around?

— N-No, sir! It's just that...

Distortion leaned close to the speaker's ear, as if he were going to tell her a secret. He whispered:

— I like you. Let's play later.

Unizard felt jealous:

— Hey bro, I thought I was your favorite.

— You are, sis. I don't mean that kind of "play". You understood what I meant.

— Even so…

— Come on, don't be like this. You know the only one who can really turn me on is you. But sometimes we need a little extra toys.

Unizard looked away, dissatisfied. She just commented:

— Well, if you're going to fight with Kiseki, I'll stay with Revon. But make sure you don't overdo it, brother.

— Me, exaggerate? Of course, I'm not going to promise such a thing. You know very well how easily I get carried away.

— Whatever. The announcer has already finished her work. Let's go to our places.

— "To our places"? We don't need such a thing. We can just show up in the middle of the stage and put on a show for everyone to admire.

Unizard lost her patience and stared at her brother with a lifeless gaze. She said dryly:

— Let's. Go. To. Our. Places.

— Whoa... You don't have to look at me that way. Did I do something that bothered you?

— Let's get out of here soon.

— All right, If that's what my little sister wants.

A portal opened behind them both and they walked backwards. Soon after, the portal closed. Even without them around, the announcer was traumatized. When Distortion said he wanted to play with someone, it wasn't a good sign. Her fate was sealed. With a broken spirit, she coldly said to the spectators:

— One more unforeseen event happened, and the final will be postponed. There will be two more semifinals before the big battle: Unizard versus Revon and Distortion versus Kiseki.

Haji, unhappy with all that, said to Yuto:

— This is unfair! They enter the last half and want to steal the spotlight!

— I know, but there's nothing we can do. Seeing them battling would help us a lot to get an idea of what we're up against.

— Yuto, are you defending those psychopaths?

Tatsuya interrupted the conversation:

— He is right. If we're going to defeat them, we first need to understand their powers and battle styles.

— But, that's not right…

— Haji, not everything in life is right. Sometimes, we need to make cruel decisions for the result to be worthwhile.

The first battle would be between Distortion and Kiseki. He was so looking forward to that moment of ecstasy and he couldn't wait his turn. About to start, the announcer said:

— Without further ado, we will start the new semifinals. The first battle will be between Distortion and Kiseki.

Both entered the arena. Since they were so far away, they couldn't see each other clearly. Kiseki already knew what kind of person that was. She shuddered, but started walking toward him. Distortion, in response, walked towards her, commenting:

— Oh, so you're approaching me? Instead of running away, are you coming straight for me?

— D-Distortion-sama, I can't beat you if I don't get any closer.

— Well then, get as close as you like.

Kiseki didn't notice, but their voices were being teleported through portals created by Distortion. He did it unconsciously, so he didn't even notice that they were too far away to hear each other.

Still scared, Kiseki stated:

— S-Sorry, Distortion-sama, but I can't take it easy on this battle.

— Why are you apologizing, Kiseki-chan? That's just how I like it. If you take it easy, it won't be fun to destroy you.

When they were close enough, Kiseki jumped towards him. However, she just flew right through Distortion, as if he wasn't even there. She didn't understand right away, but remembered the portals.

Distortion formed a portal in front of him and another one behind him. He also did it unconsciously, when a very strong impact approached.

As Kiseki turned back, a punch from behind pierced her stomach. Distortion formed a portal on his right arm and another behind Kiseki. Smiling, he said:

— What is it, Kiseki-chan? I know you are much more than that.

— D-Distortion-sama, I don't stand a chance against someone so far above me…

— It's hard to beat you when you flatter me like that. But you have this determined look on your face. Destroying you turns me on so much.

Kiseki rarely didn't have a look of submissiveness. She felt inferior to everyone, so expressions of joy or anger were unusual.

But at that moment, it was different. Those two tramps ruined everyone's fun by barging into the final and changing it at the last minute. She felt anger not only for herself, but also for everyone watching.

She healed quickly. She jumped again, but towards Distortion's legs. She slipped between them and kicked back one of them, trying to shake his balance. Once again, it didn't work because of the portals.

In response, Distortion grabbed Kiseki's foot and quickly spun her around. He threw her at the ceiling of the arena. When she collided with the hard surface, she got stuck there for a few seconds. Distortion took the chance to fire a black hole from his right hand. It increased in size and intensity along the way, until it completely erased Kiseki and the ceiling.

It followed for a long distance, swallowing the sky and clouds, but then fell apart, creating a huge vacuum. In order to be filled again, an intense wind formed around it. The stands and airship were safe, but anyone approaching that area would be pulled into the vacuum with enough force to strain their muscles and bones.

With 7-Up, Distortion was safe. Additionally, he formed a 360° portal around himself, isolating his body from the environment. When the void was filled, Distortion broke the barrier as well.

The ceiling was transparent, but it was noticeable that it had been completely destroyed in the arena area. The roof of the grandstand was intact, as a barrier separated it from the arena and protected the spectators.

However, Kiseki was standing in front of him. Distortion looked for what kind of remnants of her life he had left. He noticed a pool of blood that formed on the floor when he pierced Kiseki's stomach. The blood cells counted as life dependent on the original body, and another organism formed to replace it. It was a kind of clone.

Kiseki, now refreshed and unharmed, rushed towards Distortion. She slipped under his legs again, but he'd seen to it. In response, he raised his right foot and stomped down hard on Kiseki's head as she passed.

It went through her head and into the ground. The hole was big enough for Kiseki's body to slide and fall into it. She fell in free fall while healing her head that had been disintegrated. In the sky and a few kilometers up, there was no way back to the arena.

Kiseki turned her attention to surviving the fall. When she was almost in contact with the ground, she closed her eyes. She opened them again, as she did not reach it. She looked down and was at a much higher altitude than before. The airship was below, and she was falling toward the arena. She realized that Distortion was still toying with her, teleporting her to the sky.

Once again, Distortion prepared to launch a black hole. He brought both hands together, forming a much larger sphere than before. He quickly threw it upwards.

Since it was so massive, Kiseki felt the gravitational force pulling her towards the center of the sphere. She quickly thought of a solution. She pierced her right index finger with her teeth and released the blood that flowed with maximum force, aiming at the ocean, which was far away.

She would try to create one more clone. To do so, he needed to throw the living blood as far away from the black hole's gravitational pull as possible. The blood drop's trajectory curved downwards, but out of reach of the sphere and the vacuum created by it.

Right after that, Kiseki had her heart pierced by yet another punch. She had been teleported again, and this time in front of Distortion, in the arena.

The void was still being filled, for it was so much bigger than before. Distortion created a portal above himself and Kiseki, whose heart was pierced by his left arm, isolating them from the void above.

Distortion's smile faded when he saw that Kiseki still had a determined expression on her face. She didn't stand a chance and she knew it, but kept trying. Slightly irritated, he said:

— Hey, isn't it about time you gave up? This is getting boring.

— I will never give up… Everyone was having fun, until you arrived…

— Oh, is that what keeps you determined? What a joke. We came here precisely to spice up the battles. Everyone is enjoying it, see?

Distortion looked to the stands for approval. Some people were very excited, while others were scared to death. Surprised, his smile faded again. He murmured:

— You've got to be kidding me. I could have killed everyone here, yet I'm trying to make things better for everyone. This is what I get?

Distortion bit his lip irritably. He shouted for all to hear:

— Bunch of ingrates! You know what?! I give up this battle!

Distortion pulled his arm that still pierced Kiseki's heart. He started walking towards the waiting room. Kiseki asked:

—Distortion-sama? Are you really going to give up?

— Of course I will! If no one wants me here, I don't want to hear about any of this anymore. You won. Are you happy now?

— This is not how a victory should be decided… Never mind the public reaction, we must finish what we started.

Distortion turned around, giving Kiseki a contempt look. He responded:

— Shut up. Don't piss me off. Who do you think you are to teach me what a fair victory is? You are far below me, and I could kill you whenever I wanted.

Kiseki shut up. Realizing that he had imposed his dominance, even in the midst of that humiliation, Distortion turned forward and started walking again.

Kiseki won via Distortion forfeit. After the battle there was a break. Meanwhile, Kiseki has repaired the entire portion of the arena that was destroyed, as well as restoring the sky air consumed by the black holes.

As her power had little reach, Yuto offered to help her by levitating her in the air. They had plenty of rest time, so it wasn't difficult to "sweep away" the imperfections. Admired, Yuto commented:

— Kiseki, you did very well.

— T-That's not true… I didn't deserve that victory…

— You deserved it, I can assure you that. If you didn't beat that scoundrel physically, you won psychologically. He left because he was in a bad mood with the public's reaction.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

— Well, maybe you're right...

Yuto stroked Kiseki's head, who smiled in response. He continued:

— Kiseki, since your battle is over, how about watching the next match with us?

Yuto showed the five people who were lined up in the stands. Noticing the embarrassed girl, Genesis also invited her:

— Kiseki-chan, I loved the face Distortion made when he realized you weren't going to give up. Why don't you sit with us?

— T-That… You guys are overestimating me… Wouldn't I be a nuisance next to you?

With her arms crossed and eyes closed, a typical tsundere pose, Haji replied:

— Why? You underestimate yourself too much. I've never seen you so determined before, so that defiant look was impressive.

— T-Thanks a lot, guys!

The last semifinal was about to start. In the combatants' waiting room, Unizard comforted her brother. He was still frustrated by the "defeat", so he needed someone who understood him. He complained:

— Little sis, no one in the stands applauded me.

— It's okay, brother. No need to worry, I will always be by your side.

Unizard hugged her brother, who was on the verge of crying. Although he called her "little sister", he had the profile of a younger brother.

When he didn't get what he wanted, he threw himself into his understanding sister's arms. She wasn't much better than he was, but she enjoyed comforting him. She was like a mother, lover and big sister all at once.

Distortion wiped away the tears and revealed a vengeful look. He commented:

— Sis, I will get revenge on these ungrateful people someday. I promise I will.

— Calm down, brother, there's no need to revolt. You know very well that if you get out of hand, you could decimate the city or even the world.

— You're right, I can't let myself get carried away. Although I wouldn't mind living just with you in our private dimension.

— Life is not that easy, brother. If we isolated ourselves in a dimension of our own, we would get bored of it at some point. We need to have a consistent source of fun.

— I fully agree! There's nothing more consistent than human suffering.

— That's the spirit, bro. Well, I have to go to my battle.

— Okay, sister. Win this fight for me, all right?

— Right. I wouldn't lose to a level 6 even in a dream.

Unizard and Revon entered the battlefield. The announcer, tired of all that, announced carefree:

— Well, the battle will now be between Unizard and Revon. But y'all already know that, so why do I need to say? I don't earn enough for that. So be it, the battle starts now.

Both slowly approached the center of the arena. Unizard seemed to have her guard down, as she had her hands in her uniform pockets. Revon began to surround and interrogate her:

— Why don't you attack me?

— I don't want to end the fun this quickly. I'll let you strike the first blow.

— You ruined all the preparation I had for my fight against Kiseki, and you still have the arrogance to keep your guard open?

— Sorry about that. Not that I care, actually. I just wanted to have fun. Am I to blame for this?

— You do not recognize your own crimes, witch. Well, at least I don't have to hold back against an impure like you, unlike Kiseki. I need to teach you a lesson.

— Oh yeah? I'm all ears.

As a ninja, Revon used a lot of dirty tricks. She started with a sweep, kicking Unizard's right leg. However, her leg went through Unizard's, missing it. Unlike Distortion, she didn't use portals for this. Her body dissolved in smoke that soon disappeared.

Surprised, Revon turned around. She saw that Unizard had the same pose as before, but she had "teleported". With a mocking tone, the mage commented:

— Where are you looking? I'm right here.

As she spoke, several Unizard clones filled the arena.

— What's the matter? Weren't you a ninja? I thought you knew how to make clones.

— That's a low blow!

— You're one to talk. You live by dirty tricks and want to teach morals. I'm still waiting for your lesson, midget.

— I'll shut your filthy mouth.

Revon didn't know which was the real Unizard. She used her tremendous speed and agility to strike each of the clones. They dissipated into smoke soon after being hit. Still mocking, Unizard commented:

— Come on, it's not that hard to find me. Use your brain. If you can get me to take my hands out of my pockets, the battle will start.

— Shut up, asshole!

Revon finally noticed that Unizard hadn't taken her hands out of her pocket since the beginning of the battle. Being underestimated by the opponent was the greatest dishonor she could feel.

Enraged, she increased her speed gradually. To make things easier, Unizard didn't create any more clones. It was then that she noticed an irregularity: only one of the clones was close to the barrier that separated the bleachers.

That figure was looking directly at Yuto. He got scared. He thought she was about to attack him. But she just stared with a soft, mysterious smile.

Revon ran straight up to that shape and did a flying flip. However, she flew through it like any other clone. She put her feet against the barrier due to inertia. Before she could leap back, Revon was kneed in the gut. Feeling a lot of pain, she turned her head forward. It was the real Unizard. Stepping on Revon's head and forcing it down, Unizard said:

— I haven't had to use my hands yet. I thought a ninja liked to take fights seriously. By the way, why haven't you used your powers until now?

— I don't need them to defeat a dirty witch.

Unizard stomped harder, making a hole in the ground. She got irritated with the comment and decided to give Revon one last chance:

— Are you underestimating me? If you don't use your powers, I'll finish this.

To escape being trampled, Revon lifted her legs and spun them in the air like helicopter blades. As her body was facing downwards, she bent backwards to perform this maneuver.

She used her hands to push off the ground and jump. She landed her legs around Unizard's neck and began to squeeze. Also, she made all of her arms and legs invisible so her opponent couldn't grab them to defend herself.

With her left hand, she used her index and middle finger to pierce Unizard's eyes. She wrapped her right arm around her head and forced it to the side, trying to break the enemy's neck as she strangled her.

It all worked. She was blinded for a few seconds, her neck crushed and her head thrown back. While being attacked, Unizard took her hands out of her pocket and tried to grab Revon's legs, but couldn't touch them, as they dodged every second.

As a ninja, she knew that was enough to kill any human, no matter how resistant. To get away from a possible desperate attack by Unizard, she got off her shoulders and jumped back.

Unizard stopped her arm movements and stayed in the same position for a moment. She closed her eyes, which were bleeding profusely. Her head was directed towards Revon, but she couldn't see her because of the destroyed eyes.

Unizard placed her hands on her head and moved it back to its original position. She turned back and her eyes were completely healed. Surprised and afraid, Revon backed up a few steps. Unizard chuckled as she said:

— You were the first opponent that made me bleed and feel pain after a long time. Congratulations.

— How are you still alive?! You were supposed to be a human, not a demon!

— Nice try, but I won't let you beat me. Now that I've got my hands out of my pockets, let's fight seriously. My turn to attack.

Unizard charged at Revon in less than half a second, even though they were tens of meters away. She tried to punch her stomach one more time, but Revon became completely invisible. She looked around and saw no sign of her. She said:

— Well, if I can't find you, I just need to destroy the entire arena.

Revon sensed that statement was not a bluff. If that demon really used a devastating attack, it would kill even the spectators.

Revon couldn't risk anyone dying because of her, so she undid the invisibility. Unizard soon found her, as if she already knew where she was from the beginning. The mage made a proposal:

— How about if I just use 7-Up? You can use your powers, while I use only my physical one.

— That's not fair!

— I'm giving you an advantage. My 7-Up is level 7, while yours is 6. We'll be on equal footing if we fight like this.

— Alright... I accept the challenge.

Revon had no choice but to accept whatever advantage her opponent gave her. She braced herself in her position. Unizard waited for her to move.

Revon jumped towards her quickly, landing a punch, which was parried by Unizard's arms. She was pushed back, opening space for one more attack from the ninja.

She moved forward again, with more speed than before. Unizard instinctively made a kicking motion with her left leg, but Revon dodged it at the last moment by sliding her own legs to the ground as she curved her body backwards.

When Revon was close enough, she turned her right leg invisible and kicked upward, hitting Unizard's groin. She was thrown to the ceiling of the arena, breaking a part of it.

While Unizard was on the ceiling, Revon jumped up to strike her again. She was about to throw another punch, but Unizard predicted her trajectory. She tried to elbow her in the back and missed.

Revon dodged once more by spinning her body backwards in the air. Her legs hit Unizard's head, which was thrown towards the arena's barrier.

The mage slid down until she was sitting on the floor in a defeated position. Revon stopped in front of her, staring at her. Unizard commented:

— I can't hit you. Well, I should have seen it coming when I proposed that I wouldn't use my power.

— So you admit defeat?

— Sadly yes. Fighting, I realized that you are much more skilled than you seem. I underestimated you.

— That's not fair. You gave me a lot of advantage. Why?

— I do not know for sure. Maybe I wanted to show off, but I just got embarrassed. Well, I give up.

Unizard got up and walked towards the waiting room. She turned her head back to deliver one last message:

— Thanks for the fight. You sure made your master proud.

— Thank you, Unizard-sama.

Revon bowed to the level 7. Her respect for her grew after the battle. Unizard faced forward again and resumed walking, waving her hand. Surprised, the announcer announced:

— What a turn of events! Yet another combatant has given up the battle at the decisive moment! The victory goes to Revon!

In the waiting room, Distortion looked worried. When he saw his sister coming in, he began to question her:

— Sis, why did you also give up?

— I made the mistake of promising not to use my power. In fact, this was on purpose. Yuto, the guy that our father talked about, was in the stands.

— Yuto? Wasn't he killed by Wisedroid?

— Those were fake news. He wouldn't die that easily if our dad is so worried.

— Why didn't you kill him if he's a threat to the association?

— Don't you remember that our father said he would be useful to kill Zenith? She's a headache for everyone, and we'd move up some ranks if she died.

— Good thinking, little sister! That's actually a great idea! Was anyone else suspicious there?

— Beside him were two people I recognized. One of them was the android maid who was spying on us on the day of the meeting. The other was our half-sister Haji.

— Oh, that daughter of Wisedroid? And Haji-chan?! What is she doing here?

— I don't know. But if our dad didn't even mention she'd be here, he probably didn't want us to know it.

— Now that we know that, we don't have to do what father says. We can kidnap her to use as a bargaining chip.

— That's a great idea, maybe we'll even gain more powers from her. But we need to get rid of Yuto before that.

— That won't be a problem, little sister. When we are together, nothing stops us.

— Naturally…

— You're a little pensive. Did anything else happen for you to give up the battle?

— Well, maybe. My opponent had more principles than us.

— What are you talking about, sis? We don't need principles. When we have each other, everything will be fine. Everything we do will be justified.

— You're right, brother...

When the "final" was over, Yuto and his group left the stadium. As it was an airship, they had to wait for it to land. It was late and the sun was already setting.

When they reached the parking lot to get into Tatsuya's car, Yuto seemed to be bothered by something. Haji noticed right away and asked:

— Yuto, did something happen?

— It's nothing… it's just… don't you think it's weird?

Everyone focused their attention on Yuto, to hear what he had to say. He continued:

— Anelise said that she and Malungo would be talking at the hotel for a long time. They lost that match and haven't contacted us until now.

Tatsuya gave a slight smile and replied:

— Oh, is that your concern? There's nothing wrong with that, they're young.

— You say that as if you were an old man.

— I already have a son. When you have one too, you'll understand what I'm talking about.

Yuto blushed, finally understanding what Tatsuya was implying. Red-faced and looking away, he said nervously:

— T-That doesn't matter now! Why don't you go ahead and see how they are doing? Those two never got along very well, as far as the last few days could tell.

Charlotte, who was still ecstatic from the battle, said with a twinkle in her eyes:

— Don't worry, Ishikawa-san! Genesis-chan and I are going to tell them everything we saw in this incredible battle, and that they shouldn't have missed a single second of it!

Genesis made a gesture that seemed to sync with Charlotte's, as if they'd been practicing the pose for days. With a smile as refreshing as hers, she said:

— That's right, Yuto! We're going to lecture them! See you later then!

— See you later, the three of you!

Charlotte and Genesis turned around and walked towards the hotel. It was a long way away, so the whole purpose of going ahead was lost when they could have gone by car instead of on foot. Yuto, surprised by that synchrony, muttered:

— Since when are they such good friends? Wait, why don't they go by car?

Tatsuya replied:

— Friendships like that form overnight. They probably want to walk to talk longer.

— I see… Actually, that doesn't make sense.

— Now, why are you kicking us out of nowhere? You're not just worried about those two.

— What are you talking about?

— Was it because of Unizard staring at you?

— W-Well, that's not exactly it...

— I think you already know this, but I'm pretty strong. Those twins won't lay a finger on you as long as I'm around. You can trust me.

— …

A woman was trying to start her little yellow car nearby. As it made noise every time it failed, Yuto found a loophole to escape that situation. He walked to the car window to ask what was going on:

— Girl, are you in trouble?

The woman got scared, afraid that it was a robbery. In fact, she looked like a young teenager. She had slightly dark skin and short black hair, with eyes the same color. Hesitantly, she replied:

— Eh? I-It's nothing young man! No need to worry...

— If you can't start your car, you won't get home in time, will you?

Feeling pressured and looking away, she said in a submissive tone:

— I don't have any money with me…

— I'm not asking for anything in return. Let me help you.

When she looked back at Yuto, he was gone. Suddenly, the car began to levitate. On top of it, Yuto shouted:

— Tokihito-san, Haji, go ahead. I need to sort this out here and then I'll catch up with you.

Haji, irritated by this sudden attempt to escape, shouted:

— Get back here, idiot! Why do you want to run away from us so badly?

Also confused, Tatsuya just sighed and said:

— Come on, Haji. Again, my role is to protect you.

— Don't you think Yuto is acting strange?

— For sure. But he must have a reason for not telling us what worries him.

Now in the sky, Yuto, who was on top of the car, bowed his head towards the window. The woman was startled by all that and looked directly at Yuto. He shouted for her to hear:

— Where do you usually go to fix the car?

— P-Please put me down!

— Calm down, I won't let you fall. Just point me to the spot and I'll take us there in a minute.

The woman remained distressed and hesitated for a few seconds, until she gave in and pointed with her finger at a house under construction. Yuto thought that the difference in perspective was affecting the finger's trajectory, but he flew over there.

He landed on the street, next to a construction site. Yuto got down from the roof of the car and, with a calm smile on his face, tried to comfort her:

— It's over, lass. Was this exactly where you had pointed?

— Y-Yes… Thank you, young man.

A worker who was working on construction saw that strange scene and ran to the car. With a worried look, he asked the woman:

— Honey, are you okay? Did this guy do something to you?

— No, dear… He only brought me this far.

The man had a beard and was very manly. He turned to Yuto, who looked nervous about the situation. He approached him and, with an angry look, said:

— If you've done something to my wife, I'll kill you.

The woman reiterated:

— Love, he just used his power to make the car fly. It's not a big deal.

— What do you mean it's not a big deal? Back in my day, there were no flying cars.

The woman tried to calm her husband down, but her heart was still racing after that experience. She got out of the car and said to Yuto:

— Lad, this is my husband. He is working on this project, but he is also a mechanic.

The man, who was suspicious of Yuto, smiled, unconcerned. With a tone of friendship, he reinforced what his wife said:

— That's right, comrade. If any car of yours gives a problem, just call me. I arrive on time, especially for those who helped my wife carry this old can.

— Thank you, sir. Well, I think I'll be on my way.

Yuto turned his back and started walking. The girl, now smiling next to her husband, said:

— Boy!

Yuto turned around again.

— Thanks!

Yuto smiled, as if he had just completed a grandiose mission. He responded:

— You're welcome, lass.

Yuto started walking again, waving his hand. He was calmer now, as well as satisfied.
