Repeating Encounter of the Repeat Girl
Touta is seen outside at the port practicing his sword fighting skills while discovering a way to work on some new combo moves, like making those phantom blade things that appear around the sword and he thought it looked cool.
"And now for the finale!" Touta smirked.
Touta starts spinning around fast like a spinning top with the phantom blades following along for the epic combo he's about to pull off.
"Reverse River Slash!" Touta swung his blade up with the phantom blades going up as well with the idea to continue the slash sending the opponent flying or just slicing him in half.
"Nice!" Touta punched his fist in the air.
"Wow, now that's a sick combo I would definitely love to play in a video game." Ikkuu commented as he walks up to him with a short girl walking next to him.
"Hey Ikkuu, impressed with my moves because it just came to me when I was chopping some food in the kitchen this morning while I was helping up with the cook, sharing a few of my own cooking experiences." Touta explained the reason of the combo he just pulled.
"Whoa, that's an unexpected way to get an awesome idea like that." Ikkuu surprised.
"Yeah, that's just how awesome I am!" Touta smirked with his sword on his shoulder, and then he looks down seeing the little girl.
"Hey, aren't you that girl I met playing in the sand?" Touta asked.
"I see you already seen her, but this is the first time you two have actually met face-to-face." Ikkuu said.
"You know, I have seen her a few times but never really talked to her." Touta realized.
"This here is Kirie Sakurame. She may not look it, but she's actually a" But Ikkuu didn't finish the introduction when Kirie pulls on his white shirt to get his attention.
"Hey Ikkuu, I would like to have a moment alone with him." Kirie pointed at Touta.
Kirie is a young short girl. She sports long hair of light color, tied into a braid on the left side of her face, as well as on the back of her head. Kirie's attire is a school uniform-like, consisting of a cap with several flowery patterns on it, a cape-like dark top with a skirt and dark boots. She's also wearing glasses. Breasts sizes: A-cup.
"Huh?" Touta confused. He didn't know what this girl wants with him all of a sudden, but he can tell this girl doesn't really mean any harm and seems to know Ikkuu quite well from the looks of it.
That raises the question of her possibly being a UQ Holder, but won't know for sure unless he goes along with Kirie.
"Okay, if you want to hang out with me then I don't mind." Touta said.
"Are you sure? You two just met and all." Ikkuu asked, surprise to hear that Touta would agree to hang out with someone he just met.
"It's fine, you can just leave us alone and everything will be fine." Touta assured.
"Well, if you say so, then I'll leave her in your capable hands." Ikkuu smiled as he walks away going back to his own work.
"So, Kirie, is there something you wanna do today?" Touta asked.
"Yes, let's go to the capital." Kirie answered and walked away to a boat.
"Oh, the capital, huh? Sounds like you're into the fancy stuff." Touta commented.
Touta and Kirie got on a boat together then sailing off to the capital though along the way, Kirie hasn't said anything yet meaning that she could either be a silence type of girl who doesn't talk much or maybe she got something that she doesn't want praying ears to listen.
"Yo, I think we're far enough to have a private whatever you brought me out here for." Touta pointed out.
"Yes, I believe you're right." Kirie said, both stopping and took off her glasses.
"I finally have you alone, Touta Konone. You idiot." Kirie said showing a smirk and her eyes looking a little different too.
"Whoa, now there's a shocking twist that little Kirie just had a mood swing!" Touta surprised.
"Little! Don't you know I'm your superior in this organization? You're actually bold enough to call me little!" Kirie yelled, offended of this as she does not like being called little.
"Sorry, sorry, you just surprised me, that's all." Touta apologized.
"(But that doesn't confirms my guess that she is a member of UQ Holder and from how she said she's my superior, I guess that also means she's a higher rank member than me.)" Touta thought stated on this girl.
"Will you get your act together? Sit down." Kirie asked.
"Okay, I'm sitting down." Touta sat his knees down on the ground.
"Well, it looks like you listen to orders well, like a good little doggy." Kirie commented with her hands on her hips.
"(I don't know why, this one is a cutie when giving off such a demanding voice.)" Touta thought smirked at the little girl.
"Hey, what are you smirking for?" Kirie asked noticing that expression.
"I'm not sure if you wanna ask me that question." Touta said.
"Whatever, now I want you to bark like a dog." Kirie demanded.
"Woof, woof, you got it, cutie. Woof, woof." Touta barked like a dog while calling Kirie a cutie that seems to have made her blush.
"Okay then, now let me step on your face." Kirie said.
"Wait, what?" Touta puzzled on that last one and grabbed Kirie's foot with one hand.
"Let me step on your incompetent face! You idiot!" Kirie tried to push forward, but she can't move any further as Touta's physical strength is far stronger.
"Sorry, but I rather not let anything bad happen to this handsome face or else Yukihime and Karin won't be able to recognize me." Touta chuckled with a shrug.
"But then again, you trying to step on me is giving me a great chance to see your underwear." Touta poked one finger on Kirie's underwear to the top of the pussy causing the girl to let out a moan.
"You moron! How dare you try to lay a hand on an innocent girl like that!" Kirie yelled angry, but another moan came out.
"The pink color seems like a good color for your black outfit, and it feels soft too." Touta commented, unfazed from the angry shouts of Kirie.
"Stop! Stop touching me from down there if you know what's good for you!" Kirie yelled again.
"Okay, if you say so." Touta smiled.
Touta then flips Kirie in the air fast that she spins for a couple of seconds or so until the Vampire-Devil caught her in his arms and drip her down like they were doing a dance.
"So, you like to boss others around as part of your charm?" Touta asked in a flirting tone.
"Be silences! I have the right to step on your face six times!" Kirie struggled effortlessly to break free from Touta's hold on her.
"Six times, that's it?" Touta puzzled of what she means by just stepping on his face for six times.
"Yes, you fool! You failed to protect me six times already! You're completely incompetent!" Kirie proclaimed angry, and her cheeks are also blushing harder too.
"Hold on, are you saying that we actually met six times?" Touta asked, now really confused of this girl.
"Just put me down already!" Kirie demanded.
Deciding that he had enough fun with this girl, Touta puts her down on her feet and just gave him an angry pout.
"Okay, now I wanna know for real. You said I failed to protect you six times even though this is my first time meeting you today, what gives?" Touta asked.
"That's why I said we need to talk, you idiot." Kirie picked up her hat.
This was it, this was the moment that she has to tell Touta about what she really brought him all the way out here tell him everything.
"Listen up here, it's serious. Things are about to get very re" But suddenly something sharp and fast slice through her hair and throat halfway.
"It's sooner than expected…" Kirie gasped as she fell, Touta caught her.
"No, Kirie!" Touta screamed.
"What the fuck was that!" Touta summoned her sword and attack the culprit by piercing through the shoulder of a shoulder revealing himself to be the creepy guy with the eyepatch.
"What the… Aren't you the guy I punched two days ago?" Touta asked shock to see him.
"Damn it, you managed to get me again…" Xingzi Chao said before coughing up blood.
"I think I'll try slicing off your arms so you don't pull a stunt like that again." Touta angered, but he felt a hand on his chest and looks down to see Kirie barely alive.
"N-No, just f-forget about him. Take my hand, please." Kirie begged as she held her hand to him.
Touta didn't know what was she thinking right now considered that she is on death's doorstep and about to die at any second, but his inner devil instincts are telling her to trust this girl and he took her hand.
"Don't worry, whatever is going on I promise you'll be average!" Touta promised.
"Good, this should…" Kirie said before closing her eyes to take her final moment.
But then suddenly Touta is now standing with Kirie who is kneeling in front of a small sand bump with a stick standing up and a little fire is lit, he looks around to see that he is back on the UQ HQ in much shock and confusion.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa… What the Hell just happened?" Touta asked looking around the area.
"This is the same HQ, but how did I get here and why does the sky looking like it's morning again instead of the afternoon?" Touta asked as he looks up at the sky.
"Oh man, don't tell that was all a dream… right?" Touta wondered, but his devilish soul was telling him that everything is real including the moment that Kirie died.
"Wait, Kirie, let me see your neck!" Touta moved closer to Kirie.
"Hey, don't grab me like that! I still haven't given you for that stunt with my underwear!" Kirie stated as Touta look at her cut closer.
Touta's eyes widen when he saw that her neck doesn't have the big cut that she got from that creepy shadow guy, it almost like her neck just healed instantly or something else entirely.
"Man, it's almost like the cut on your neck was reverse." Touta said.
"Wow, you were able to guess right despite being an incompetent idiot. All I did was just turn back time a little." Kirie revealed what happened to them.
"Holy Hellfire! Turning back time… But how? I didn't think something like that was even possible, even with magic!" Touta gasped.
"Well, it did and you held my hand and we both went back to this very moment of this very minute." Kirie stated pointing down at the ground.
"Whoa, Touta! Is that you!" Ikkuu called out.
"Oh, hey there, Ikkuu!" Touta greeted, trying to act natural while trying to calm himself down on the inner.
If what Kirie just said is really true and that they did go back in time to this moment, then it would also mean that Ikkuu nor the others would know anything about this, but he also knew that Kirie may hold all the answers.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were helping Kuroumaru with inventory?" Ikkuu asked surprise.
"(Inventory? But that was… Hold on, does that mean we want back to when I was still helping Kuroumaru!)" Touta thought realized shock.
"Oh, he just finish helping and now we're going to the capital together. Do you mind taking us there?" Kirie asked.
"Oh, sure." Ikkuu puzzled of this little scene.
Karin just appeared at the front only to see Touta going onto a boat with Kirie and Ikkuu which for some reason, she found this to be a little found in her thoughts and decided to go with them on the boat to the capital.
"(How odd, Touta should still be helping Kuroumaru with inventory and yet says that he's "done" but I know it's not true.)" Karin thought looked to see Touta having a talk with Kirie though couldn't hear what they're talking about.
"Hey Karin, do you have any information on what Kirie's abilities might be?" Ikkuu asked, he's been about that for some time and now wants to know from his senior.
"I don't know the full detail, but I remember hearing that she predicts the future and that she is the type of immortal who is able to avoid death because of them." Karin explained what she knows about Kirie's powers so far.
"Predict the future, huh?" Ikku muttered to himself, feeling like there is more to this story than meets the eye.
"Seriously? No magic at all?" Touta gasped softly.
"Yeah, any monkey can perform that trade. This is a special power that only I possess." Kirie said as she started to explain what her power is.
"The sand mounts I make work as my safe points, they're affected as long as the fire burns. It active automatically when I died and take me back to my most recent safe. I can also bring back someone else's soul with me as long as I'm touching them at the same time." Kirie explained.
"No way, that sounds so amazing!" Touta complimented.
"That's the power of true immortality. Held by UQ Holder Number 9, Kirie Sakurame! Ready!" Kirie smirked introducing herself fully.
"Oh man, that sounds like the coolest OP immortal power I have ever heard of!" Touta amazed with this girl of how her power almost sounds like something that only happens in video games.
"It doesn't matter if the enemy is strong or fast or can kill you in an instant, you can just do it all over again and try to come up with a plan to finish the enemy off!" Touta stated of what he understands so far.
"That maybe true in some point, but… Dying sucks and hurts a lot, you know." Kirie said angry.
"Oh, I see…" Touta said sweatdrop, this girl must not really like using her ability a lot. Must be an only emergency thing.
"But wait a minute, why didn't you just grab my hand to take me back?" Touta asked.
"I tried to, dummy. Since the second time I die, but each time you would just…" Kirie explained that Touta would suddenly run off all six times that Touta just suddenly runs off to beat up the shadow jerk leaving her to die.
"How incompetent could you possibly be!" Kirie yelled angry.
"Oh man, can't believe I've been such a bitch leaving you like that. Sorry, I promise I won't do that again." Touta promised.
"Now that I think about it, there must be a reason why you wanted me to have a chat alone. Something happened during the first time today, am I right?" Touta asked, looking a little serious.
"Yes, I thought it would be best to warn you of what I saw during my first playthrough. Because you're the focus of everything that's about to happen." Kirie revealed.
"Focus on me, huh?" Touta now knew there is something going on, or what's about to happen soon and Kirie is here to warn him.
Once they got to the capital, Touta and Kirie walk together alone separating themselves from Karin and Ikkuu, walking into the same alleyway.
"The first time happen to be a coincidence. I rarely have to leave Headquarters, but I had to go up to the orbital elevator for the first time in a while, there was a share-holders meeting. It was being held at the top of the tower and I needed to attention." Kirie explained about the first time.
"The top of the tower but isn't that like fucking expensive to get on. You must have a big savings." Touta impressed.
"That's when I ran into you back at HQ, when you were practicing your sword skills." Kirie revealed.
(Flashback, First Time)
"The top of the tower but isn't that like fucking expensive to get on. You must have a big savings." Touta impressed.
(Flashback End)
"Yes, that's what you said, and you followed me there too." Kirie said.
"Yeah, that is something I would do." Touta chuckled.
"But that's when we went all the way to the gate and "He" showed up." Kirie said, about to reveal the big even that happened.
