Chapter 77: Kaede

(Ryoto's pov)

Kaede: "You know what? You are kinda cute. Shame that I need to silence you~."

She said with a blush. Kaede started to lose her grip on reality.

Ryoto: "I appreciate a compliment, but I would like it more if you were saner. Only I can be the crazy one in the relationship."

It's a lie, but joking helps me calm down. I may look calm on the outside, and I'm often am but right now, if I make a mistake, either Kaede, I, or both die today. I don't plan on dying or letting Kaede die, so I'll need to pull it off.

I'm not used to holding such big responsibility, but it seems that I'll need to familiarise myself with that feeling if I want not only to save Kaede but also stay with Lala together as I would need to be a ruler of an empire.

Right now, there is some distance between Kaede and me.

Ryoto: "Can we stop this meaningless fight right now?"

I tried to get through her for the last time, but I wasn't lucky this time either.

Kaede: "Hehehe~ It's not meaningless~ I'll kill you, and then I'll kill Koro-sensei~."

Ryoto: "I see. Then be ready for this."

I started making a circular motion with both of my hands. Two of my fingers were out, and the rest were closed. One of my arms moved behind my back while the other was in front of me. As I made this motion, blue lightning followed my two fingers, or more accurately, it came from them.

Kaede was observing me curiously.

Kaede: "What is it? Another one of your tricks?~"

Ryoto: "You can say that. I didn't show this to anyone before, so congratulations. You are my first in that sense."

Kaede: "Yay!~"

She clasped her hands together and smiled.

I didn't say anything and prepared to shoot out the lighting. I gathered energy, circulated it for a short while, and shot it.

The lighting travels at about 434 523 km/h. It's roughly 20 times faster than Koro-sensei, so Kaede nor anyone in this world was accustomed to this kind of speed.

Luckily for Kaede, I targeted the area next to her as she couldn't even react to it. I used this chance to reduce e the distance between us.

I started running towards her. She was shocked at the display of my powers but recovered quickly. Her tentacles rushed at me. Initially, I blocked all of the attacks but the closer I was, the more precise and dangerous.

I abandoned avoiding anything that wouldn't kill me. I blocked everything I could with Haki, but as the area I could cover with it was limited, I started getting wounded, but thanks to that, I was getting closer to Kaede.

15 meters... 10 meters... 5 meters...

I finally could grab her, but as soon as I grabbed her... *SPLASH* The tentacles pierced my shoulder, leg, and stomach. I used Haki to protect only the most vital places, such as around my heart, neck, and head. I was sure she would target at least one of these places, and I was right as I stopped tentacles that aimed .y heart and neck. Because of that, I couldn't protect my stomach.

I was starting to taste iron in my mouth, and usually, it's not a good sign.

Kaede: "Hehe, got you~."

Kaede was smiling and blushing. Is this how a yandere looks from a first-person view? Because that's terrifying and a bit hot but mostly terrifying. It's also not time to think with my dick. Time to save her.

At the same time, I heard some screams from behind the trees, but I ignored them as I focused entirely on Kaede.

Despite the piercing pain, I managed to smile as I brought her closer to me.

Ryoto: "Couldn't have said it better."

I then screamed with all my might.

Ryoto: "Koro-sensei, now!!!"

Kaede: "What are you-!"

She couldn't finish her sentence because she was kissed by me.

Koro-sensei: "Great work Yuuki-kun!"

Koro-sensei flew fast towards Kaede and me, and as I was kissing Kaede, he was carefully removing the tentacles from her neck.

10 HIT... 15 HIT... 20 HIT... 25 HIT... 30 HIT...

I wasn't planning on stopping until the tentacles were gone.

Koro-sensei: "Yu...un, Yuu...kun, Yuuki-kun!"

Ryoto: "Huh?"

Koro-sensei: "I think that's enough. *Cough* *Cough*."

Ryoto: "What do you mean?"

Koro-sensei didn't say anything and just pointed down. When I looked there, Kaede was lying in my arms, passed out.

Ryoto: "Oh, you mean that."

Now that adrenaline started wearing off, I was beginning to lose strength and was about to fall, but I was caught by someone other than Koro-sensei. Kaede slipped through my hands, but Koro-sensei caught her.

Ryoto: "Thanks Karma."

The usual smirk that Karma wore was nowhere to be seen. He was angry, clearly so.

Karma: "Why did you do it?"

Ryoto: "Is it really your question? I thought that you were smarter than that."

I tried joking a little, but Karma was still looking at me and angry.

Ryoto: "*Sigh* Some time ago, I noticed something at the back of her neck. I didn't know what it was until I fought Itona yesterday. I guessed that it was harmful to her, so I asked Koro-sensei for his help earlier today.

<Backflash>

Ryoto: "Koro-sensei, Kaede has tentacles at the back of her neck."

Koro-sensei: "WHAT!!!?"

<End of backflash>

Everyone around me thought the same thing, 'short'.

Ryoto: "I skipped some unimportant details, but that's basically what happened. He was the only one who knows how to remove them. Now that I explained myself, could I ask something in return?"

Karma: What is it?"

Ryoto: "I think k I'm bleeding out. Can you get me to the hospital?"

Koro-sensei: "On it!"

Koro-sensei grabbed me and flew at high speed to the hospital, but before that, he got Karasuma to avoid unnecessary questions there. He also changed to look somehow like a human.

Halfway through the way there, I lost consciousness.
