"Does it take this much effort to deal with a Demon-level monster?"
Kaguya was very angry right now. After all, there were too many huge breasts here.
The Deep Sea King's bisected body rapidly regenerated in the downpour.
Flesh buds sprouted from the two severed halves. The flesh buds intertwined, fused, and regrew into a complete body.
The Deep Sea King panted heavily, forcibly digging out the parts of his body still burning with black flames.
He wasn't an idiot. He could tell these women were not normal.
At this moment, he also realized that several of these women looked somewhat familiar.
Then, he remembered!
'They're Nishikawa Makoto's women!'
This was Hawaii, Nishikawa Nation's territory, but it was already a border area.
He never would have dreamed that Makoto's women would appear in such a rural place.
'Run!'
The Deep Sea King turned and charged toward the sea.
Kaguya raised her left hand, palm facing him. "Bansho Ten'in."
The Deep Sea King's feet had already touched the seawater, but his body was forcibly dragged back by an invisible force.
He desperately lunged forward. The seawater was right in front of him, but his body was flying backward.
Utaha took a deep breath and completed the Fire Release she hadn't finished earlier. "Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance!"
A spiral of flames spewed from her mouth. Each coil of the flame carried spatial cutting force, rolling the Deep Sea King's body into the fire column to be incinerated.
Under the double burning of Amaterasu and Blast Wave Wild Dance, the Deep Sea King's regeneration speed finally couldn't keep up with the destruction speed.
"That guy's regeneration is quite good. To deal with him, you need to take him out in one hit."
Makoto was already sitting on a lounger at some point, Pochita squatting on his knee. One man and one dog were both watching the show.
The Deep Sea King's pupils contracted violently.
Although he had already guessed that Makoto was almost certainly nearby, actually seeing him still scared him half to death.
'Damn it! You should have announced your identities earlier!'
The Deep Sea King cursed inwardly.
If they had identified themselves earlier, would he have attacked?
At that moment, Kaguya's deep purple Susanoo grew legs from its ribs where the lower body should be.
This was the fourth form, between the third form and the Complete Body.
Susanoo's left arm formed a bow and frame. The left hand held the bow, the right hand drew the string.
Amaterasu flames ignited on the bowstring, spreading along the arrow shaft to the arrowhead, forming a black flame arrow.
The Amaterasu arrow shot forth. The arrow pierced through the Deep Sea King's chest, exited through his back, and embedded itself in the distant ice.
Under the Deep Sea King's screams, black flames spread from the wound in all directions, burning his body to ashes bit by bit.
The few pieces of flesh remaining on the beach also turned to nothing under the Amaterasu flames' burning.
Chika was the first to applaud. "Amazing, Kaguya-san!"
The others also chimed in, sporadic applause ringing out for a while.
The Tailed Beasts inside the Poke Balls weren't too happy.
Although they had regained their freedom, whenever they saw the Sharingan or Wood Release, they still instinctively felt uncomfortable.
Makoto got up, walked to Kaguya, and reached out to touch her hair. "Good job."
Kaguya smiled slightly, finally gaining some consolation from this disastrous Hawaii trip.
Makoto's figure vanished from the beach, reappearing on the ice an instant later.
Yukino was still half-kneeling there, catching her breath.
"Can you still stand?" Makoto extended his hand.
Yukino kept her head down. "I'm fine."
She really wasn't in the mood to take that hand. It was too embarrassing.
Makoto withdrew his hand, offering no further comfort.
After all, any words at this moment would be an insult to Yukino.
The Deep Sea King's strength in the original work was set at peak Demon-level, but with the rain bonus, he might have been able to trade blows with low-level Dragon-level threats.
She hadn't experienced a battle of this level in another world. Losing wasn't shameful.
"Moeha, help with some healing."
Moeha walked up from behind. "Ptooey."
She spat a mouthful of saliva onto Yukino's face.
Yukino's expression went from confusion to shock, and from shock to anger.
Just as she was about to get angry, she noticed her body felt warm. The wounds from the Deep Sea King's attacks were healing rapidly.
Then she remembered that Moeha was a Heal-Heal Fruit user, and the treatment method was bodily fluids. She forcibly swallowed her anger.
Moeha looked at Yukino's injuries, found that one spit wasn't enough, coughed twice and prepared to spit another mouthful.
Yukino instinctively turned her head to dodge. She knew this was the treatment method, but this method was truly somewhat insulting.
Mai walked over from the side, formed hand seals, and green healing Chakra enveloped Yukino's wounds. Yukino finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The rain continued to fall.
The downpour poured. The charcoal in the grills had long been soaked through, and the ashes from the bonfire were washed everywhere.
Uzaki Tsuki shielded her eyes with her arm as she looked at the extinguished grills and scattered ingredients behind her, feeling a bit troubled.
"The rain is coming down so hard. Looks like we can't grill anymore... Everyone should go back."
"If you're worried about the rain, don't be." Makoto said.
Kiri, Toyomi, and others cast puzzled looks his way.
'What did he mean? Could he change the weather?'
Makoto turned his palm upward and pushed out his hand.
Translucent giant fist shadows appeared around his body, each fist the size of a building.
Following Makoto's motion, those fist shadows shot toward the sky like a storm.
Eighty Gods Vacuum Fist!
The fist shadows passed through the dark clouds, tearing the rain layer apart from the middle.
The clouds were parted to both sides by an invisible giant hand, revealing the dusk-colored sunset behind.
The ordinary Uzaki Family, and the Tailed Beasts in their Poke Balls, were completely dumbfounded.
'Was this even human?!'
The sky had cleared, but the second half of the barbecue party didn't last much longer.
After so many incidents, the mood was ruined.
Nayuta clapped her hands together. Wood Release: Row of Pillar Houses Technique.
A three-story wooden villa rose from the beach.
Nayuta was the first to push the door open and enter, then turned around at the entrance and announced:
"Makoto is sharing a room with me. The rest of you can go sleep in the other rooms."
Before the others could react, Nayuta shot Makoto a look.
Makoto understood her meaning.
It was the agreement from when they fought Otsutsuki Kaguya... ten dates. They can consider this Hawaii trip as one.
Makoto could only nod under the teary-eyed gazes of the other girls.
A week later, the graduation trip ended.
Everyone stood on the beach, facing the camera.
After the final group photo was taken, the shutter sound was drowned out by the sea breeze.
Two more people had joined the return trip... the Kotegawa sisters, Nanaka and Chisa.
They had decided to leave Hawaii and return to live in the capital.
This Deep Sea King incident had scared them badly. Although they had survived by the skin of their teeth, they didn't want to experience that feeling of being on the verge of death a second time.
Toyomi had tried to persuade them for days. The people were leaving, but the shop remained. They could come back anytime they wanted.
The sisters hesitated for a long time, but ultimately agreed.
On the way back, Chisa sat on the back of the Two-Tails, unable to resist looking back at the dive shop painted blue.
Her wish had always been to become an excellent diver like her late father.
Toyomi comforted her, "Once you learn superpowers and have the strength to protect yourself, you can come back."
Chisa was stunned. "I... can awaken too?"
Toyomi scratched her head. "I don't know either. But Chika says it's very likely if you stay close to the Commander."
The Kotegawa sisters looked at each other, completely bewildered.
'What kind of logic was that?'
But thinking about it carefully, it seemed true.
Look at all those beautiful girls packed onto the Tailed Beasts' backs... they had indeed awakened their superpowers only after getting together with Makoto.
One or two might be a coincidence, but could dozens be coincidence?
Chisa shifted her gaze away from Toyomi's face and looked out the window.
'So Makoto's 'thing' was the key to awakening superpowers?'
'Wait, then how did Yu, Beam, and those others awaken? Surely not...'
She quickly shook that thought out of her head.
Although after a week of observation, she felt that if Makoto wanted, Yu and Beam wouldn't say no.
But with so many beautiful girls around him who made even her feel inferior, surely he wasn't that desperate, right?
