21 Chapter 21
[Third Person's PoV].
Futarou and Tohru were in the middle of nowhere in an open field with no city or town in close proximity.
Futarou patted his Shusui, "Sorry Paimon, but I'll be using Chastiefol for this fight."
Futarou's pillow then started to glow before turning into a spear, which flew towards his hands.
Tohru's eyes widened, "A Holy Weapon! I couldn't even detect it while I was sitting on it."
"Cool, right?" Futarou smirked as he started wielding and swinging Chastiefol around before pointing it towards Tohru. "Ready when you are," he excitedly said, after all, he was very excited to fight a dragon. 'It's a bummer I wouldn't get exp from this.'
The ground beneath Tohru cracked as she shot towards him, appearing before him already swinging her fists.
Futarou blocked it with the staff of his spear, the ground sinking beneath them due to Tohru's strength and force.
He tried to kick her, but Tohru already jumped back before taking a deep breath and spewing fire.
Futarou swung his spear down towards the fire, splitting it in half before disappearing from where he was standing.
He appeared before her and started thrusting his spear rapidly, creating thousands of after-images of the spear. Tohru's own after-images then started to appear as she dodged all of his strikes.
She pulled out her claws, blocking a few strikes with them before trying to swing them at Futarou. Futarou released Chastiefol before taking her extended hand with both hands and judo-throwing her to the ground with enough force to crack it.
As she bounced off from the ground, she broke free from Futarou's grip, but as she did, Chastiefol came flying from Futarou's back, rushing towards her at great speed.
She leaned all the way back and watched as Chastiefol flew past her face. As she leaned back, Futarou appeared above her with his fist cocked back and surrounded by mana.
Tohru crossed her arms in front of her as Futarou's fist landed, sending her deeper into the ground. A giant crater formed due to Futarou's strength, while Tohru spat out saliva.
She quickly got her bearings together and wrapped her tail around Futarou, whipping him to the ground and tossing him. As he bounced up, Tohru spun around and smacked him with her tail.
Futarou crossed his arms but still skipped across the ground. Tohru disappeared from where she was standing and approached the airborne Futarou, punching him again.
She repeated these actions two more times before a tall shadow appeared, blocking the light around her. She quickly turned around but was hugged by a giant green bear with the same design as Chastiefol's pillow form.
"What the hell is this? Release me, you bastard–"
As Chastiefol's second form, Guardian, held onto Tohru, Futarou appeared and started throwing heavy punches on Tohru, the forces of the punches creating winds behind the Guardian.
Futarou saw Tohru's throat start glowing red, and all he could do was conjure a mana barrier as Tohru released a beam of red fire. The surrounding area started melting due to the intensity of her fire.
As the barrier was hit, Futarou kept sinking further into the ground as it started turning into liquid and lava.
"I said release me!" She growled before shifting into a dragon.
Futarou's shirt was melted off alongside his footwear before he could get injured by the lava; he jumped away just in time.
Tohru flew into the sky as she charged another beam of fire and aimed it down, knowing Futarou wasn't weak by any means.
Futarou, seeing this, changed Chastiefol form into its 4th form, "Sunflower". Its roots started digging into the ground as a giant flower began to grow. In the middle of the sunflower, light started gathering, charging up a beam the same way Tohru was doing.
Futarou gave it a fourth of his mana, realizing that his training with his magic had made it more deadly and causing more damage.
[-8,300 MP]
Futarou aimed the Sunflower with his hand, and both the Sunflower and Tohru released their beams of power towards each other, meeting in the middle of the sky.
A struggle of power then ensued, sparks of their power were created in the middle, each going back and forth trying to overpower the other.
Futarou watched that happen before crouching down to build power in his legs, the ground beneath him cracked as he shot towards the sky.
He immediately conjured a Rasengan, he used Mana Attunement to turn the Rasengan into fire.
[-1,000 MP]
Tohru felt the danger, if she moved she would be hit by the light beam and if she didn't she would be hit by Futarou.
But she didn't have a chance to think of a countermeasure as Futarou slammed the Flaming Rasengan onto Tohru's back, which sent her hurtling to the ground with the Rasengan right on her back.
The ground caved in due to Tohru's weight and the Rasengan pressing down on her. The Rasengan then exploded into a fiery dome engulfing Tohru and the area around her. As the dome started to dissipate, Futarou looked at the burnt grass and Tohru.
She was in the middle of the blackened crater on the ground sprawled out breathing heavily and black Ash covering parts of her face and body.
Futarou jumped down towards Tohru and squatted down beside her. When Tohru saw Futarou shirtless and with sweat glistening off his broad body, she blushed.
Futarou held Tohru's chin and asked in a teasing tone, "So, what does your pride say about becoming mine now?"
Tohru didn't say anything except attack Futarou, but it was a different kind of attack. She jumped onto Futarou, wrapping her legs around him before grabbing his face and kissing him roughly with a lot of passion.
Futarou's arms flailed around unsure of what to do as this was his first kiss in both of his life.
And with a smacking sound, Tohru disconnected their kiss, licking her lips and looking down on Futarou. "Does that answer your question?"
When Tohru got off Futarou, he slowly fell to the ground, covering his mouth with a hand, looking like a maiden who had just been taken advantage of.
"My first kiss... stolen... just like that."
Tohru watched in shock as a single tear escaped Futarou's eyes, even Paimon, who was watching from his sword in amusement, was in shock as well.
"I feel so violated..." Futarou closed his eyes and continued to cover his mouth as the tear rolled down his cheek.
Tohru started to freak out, thinking she had done something wrong. "No, wait, I didn't mean to..."
She stopped when she heard snickering and saw Futarou covering his mouth to stop himself from laughing.
"Sorry, sorry, your reaction was just too funny," Futarou said, dusting off his pants and wiping his tears from laughing.
Tohru blushed when she realized she had been had and started pouting. She crossed her arms and turned her head away.
Futarou just chuckled before ruffling her hair, summoning his Grimoire and using his spell to speed up recovery on both of them, turning them back to how they were before.
"There, better?" He asked with a smile.
Tohru blushed once more, seeing him smiling at her, and decided to forgive him, nodding her head. "So, how do we do the contract thing?"
Futarou put a hand on her head between her horns and started establishing a contract, which Tohru readily accepted.

Futarou looked at his system screen in shock before suddenly feeling Tohru start hugging and smelling him, "You smell nice."
Futarou sighed before he started patting her head, "Well, let's go home..." he said with a smile. Tohru nodded her head and transformed into a dragon for Futarou to climb on. After calling back his Chastiefol into a pillow, Futarou climbed on, and off they went.
