My Life in the Multiverse
33 Yuki vs Lucifer

Seeing how Yuki stole the teacup by turning Maou's attention to the teapot, the real Yuki who became a thief before she died from an overdose inevitably watched from the afterlife in amazement and thought 'So this is how it works!'

Meanwhile, after Yuki 'calmed down' and stopped shaking Ashiya, he gave her one last angry look before she said "I'll remember this, bastard…"

"Ahum" Ashiya cleared his throat nervously and said nothing more, while Yuki turned to Maou and said, "By the way, back to our point. When I saw Emilia's reaction when you were dating Chiho, I knew they both won. I didn't follow the plan so I decided to look for the culprit myself, and I guess I found them..”.

Then, Yuki showed the video he recorded of Lucifer using magic, and Maou's eyes instantly turned cold while Ashiya shouted in disbelief, "No way, shouldn't she be dead already? I think Hero Emilia killed him when he attacked the church troops! And why is he with that bastard Olba?"

"It seems to me that my guess is correct.he somehow colluded with the church and faked his death after they promised some kind of profit.." murmured Maou before she looked at Yuki curiously and said, "But Yuki...How did you find them?"

"Oh; that's easy" Yuki leaned over as she held the phone closer to them with her right hand and showed them how she observed them from the store right across from the coffee shop they were in "I think if an attack is going to happen, chances are the attackers will be watching you closely, it was then that I discovered that the shop overlooking the coffee shop was the best location for it so I went there and found these two suspicious people" yuki's words made them see how the phone's camera started recording Maou and Chiho making Maou and Ashiya focus on her.

Meanwhile, Yuki's left hand was secretly doing her magic while the two demons were unaware of it. "Regarding why I think it was both of them in particular, I noticed that they kept staring at you with a strange look in their eyes, and the bald man looked like an asshole, so I thought he might be the one chasing you.”.

'You have no right to call anyone else a bastard' Ashiya thought as she looked into the frightening eyes of Yuki who was very close to their faces as she leaned over to show the video…

"By the way, now that you know the full story, I'm going back to my room to rest, it's really a tiring experience both mentally and physically" Yuki said with a tired face.

"Um you're right, but first I want to ask you, Yuki.. Are you really okay knowing that we are demons?" maou asked seriously, and the answer he would receive would determine whether or not he erased Yuki's memories to make his life easier for her...

"Huh, of course not, you two bastards almost killed me twice, but at least now I know that I have to be careful around the two of you so that I don't turn into a real ghost" yuki replied in a flat tone.

'No, even ghosts don't want to be compared to you and also don't want to be compared to you' Maou and Ashiya thought in their heads, and Maou was about to erase her memory when Yuki suddenly said with a sincere smile, "But you are mine. dear neighbor, and I think we will settle our differences well" this made Maou and Ashiya shocked and as Yuki left, Ashiya could not help but say, "My master is this alright?"

"This doesn't seem to affect him very much, so I think it's okay, plus we should really thank him for helping us figure out the identity of our attacker" Maou said as she recalled the look in Lucifer's eyes while he was observing him and Chiho and it made her worry...

"That's right, we have a lot of misunderstandings with him, but he seems to be a good and reliable man overall" Ashiya replied before she said "let me serve you tea, my lord"

Maou nodded at him and said "Surely" and extended his hand to the teapot that should be beside him but his hand only caught the air...

"What's the matter, my lord?" ashiya asked as she looked at Maou's discolored face as she realized there was a teacup that was also missing. "Our expensive tea set is gone! That jerk, he distracts us and steals it"

Said Maou and Ashiya just looking at him with a puzzled look before he said, "Now after you mention it, the man continued walking with his left hand hidden behind him until he left and continued to pretend like he was scratching his butt, but he might have acted that way to hide that heinous act!"

Maou was devastated by this costly loss, and Ashiya could only murmur, "I really want to know who the real demon is…"

Meanwhile, Maou's eyes flashed silently as she recalled the scene when Yuki was not affected by her sleeping spell but did not say anything as she thought 'I also want to know...'

*****

Back at her apartment, Yuki was enjoying the tea from her new tea set while thinking about her next action 'The second task required me to save Chiho.' and opened her system panel to check it again.

[Quest Task 2: Stop Lucifer's attempts at kidnapping Chiho to try to trap Maou into a trap for at least 30 minutes starting at 8am the day after the mall incident. Reward: + 5 for all attributes]

"It looks like this will be my toughest challenge, I remember that in the original anime Chiho and Emilia will come in the morning and some misunderstandings will occur that will cause Chiho to escape... How will my presence change? this event?" Yuki was really confused because he could let the incident happen as it was and he could only help them a little…

But he knows this system is cunning, and if it is said that he should be the one to stop Chiho's abduction, it means he might have to do it without any help!

"I really wish I was wrong in this" Yuki muttered before she recalled what Karma had told her and decided to check on the magic attributes and where they belonged.

[Magic: Rated current 10]

[Magic determines the power of your spell, and your balanced magic core gives you an initial value of 10 once it is formed. Further upgrades require the host to make his magic core harder and bigger]

[Core balanced magic: Provides +200% effectiveness for all dark and light spells. Ability to regenerate Mana through negative and positive emotions. More effects are not available for now.].

[Mana is the kind of energy stored in the magic core. Right now, the host's reserve was equal to 10 times their magic. Can be improved when the host learns how to perfect mana or enhanced magic nucleus]

"Wow, to think I'm going to get a +200% increase in my spell, this alone is crazy!" Yuki was very happy with such gains, not to mention other things like replenishing his reserves using negative and positive emotions!

"I have to learn about how to train my magic core and mana refinement in the future." Yuki muttered to herself before she finally decided to put her only skill point on her dark shield spell.

'Hopefully, this will increase my chances of survival' and he saw the description of his spell turn into

[Dark Shield (2/10): Active skill that creates shield around target and absorbs 80 > 140 (+50% Magic) next elemental damage while active (Not working against physical attacks), Dark Shield prevents the application of all disables. Lasts for 5 seconds or until shield runs out | Charge: 80 > 100 mana | Cooldown: 20 > 18 seconds]

'Good, with my magic core balanced effect, I should have a shield that can absorb 435 damage points' thought Yuki before she started making preparations for tomorrow. That is to get a steel pipe and make a handle with duct tape and hope for the best.Nah he has to prepare even more!

*****

The next morning, Emilia came to check on Maou and asked him about her recovered strength and whether she was being unkind, and a scene similar to the original story takes place when she tries to leave in a hurry and ends up falling down the stairs... she hesitates to go to Yuki because of how depressed she was yesterday so she ends up talking emotionally with Maou about why she is being nice to the people of this world regardless of her identity. as the demon king.

And hearing her apologize for her actions made all of Emilia's pursuits lose their meaning as she kept yelling at her emotionally for killing and torturing her people and killing her father until they were suddenly interrupted by Chiho who came with Ashiya after he went to the pharmacy to buy some goods to treat Emilia.

And she quickly bites off the misunderstanding and begins to flee in tears until Shiba Miki's owner comes and warns them about her being targeted and shows them that she knew about their identity before he left and after that, the earthquake struck again…

"We have to go save Chiho" Maou said as she started running but when she got to the door of her apartment, a barrier suddenly blocked her way, and no matter what they tried to do to leave, nothing works!

"What the hell is going on?" Emilia said worried that something would happen to Chiho if they remained stuck here and Maou just shook her head, "Oh, I have never seen this kind of high-level barrier in my entire life"

And just then, a ghostly figure started walking through their room while holding a steel pipe in his hand and Maou immediately called him "Yuki, please save Chiho"

Yuki could see the urgency in his eyes and see the barrier blocking them, he thought 'So this is what you're playing, the damn system. now I'm really screwed...' Before he nodded towards Maou and he saw Emilia's worried expression as he quickly said, "Are you crazy, asking her to do such a thing?"

But she then sees Yuki ignoring her and starts walking away from them which makes her yell with teary eyes, "NO, Yuki stopped!"

But he did not stop, and after leaving Rosa Villa, he looked at the time on his phone and saw that it was already 8:10 am…

"20 minutes more huh" Yuki murmured before she started chasing Chiho and before long she saw Lucifer talking to her while saying

"I really appreciate you falling into despair.." Yuki noticed that she absorbed the negative emotions around Chiho to recover the mana as she stood in fear in front of him.

And a passerby who witnessed this finally could not bear it and approached Lucifer to tell him to stay away from Chiho but found himself propelled by something that emerged from Lucifer's back, wings like a dark angel…

"It's time to hunt, and you'll be good bait... The time for me to surpass the demon lord has come..." Lucifer said as he spread his wings, ready to start destroying everything but a terrifying voice suddenly cut through him as someone appeared behind the frightened Chiho

"Yo we'll see you again"

Chiho recognizes this voice quickly turning around and sees that it is Yuki, who makes her tears start to fall as she hides it behind her weak body to protect it…

"Oh, you're the interesting guy from the underground mall huh? You are completely safe ... Unfortunately, I am useless to you so you must die" Lucifer said before he suddenly dashed towards Yuki at a terrifying speed and raised him by the neck.

However, Lucifer did not see any fear in his eyes as Yuki only had an evil smile before he seemed to bite something in his mouth and blow it into Lucifer's face, causing him to appear, it caused a red powder to appear which caught Lucifer off guard and touched his eyes…

"AAAAAA" Lucifer began to shout as he released Yuki and held her eyes with both hands as he felt it would melt due to the heat he felt…

"Heh, serve you right" said Yuki who had just blown away the powder of spiced chili that she could find on the market in this demon's eyes before she too suddenly froze and her face flushed like a tomato and felt the inside of her mouth it would melt but she held it back and turned to Chiho with her now swollen lips and barely said "Les go" and began to drag him away as Lucifer continued thrashing on the ground while holding his eyes and shouting

"I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO KILL YOU"
