Chapter 1089 Tokyo Illusion Part 27

YUHI

'I want to make sure she lives a comfortable life.' The main reason for this must be due to his lingering regret from the seventh life. Even though he had wealth, it was mainly supplied from the girl's parents since he worked for them. He did have his own separate means of income, but he tried to avoid doing much work as a witch doctor. Since most of those jobs would have involved female clients and he didn't want her to be uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was fate that their wedding ceremony ended in a disaster. If they actually got married then, he would have had to rely on her for money and that wouldn't have felt right.

"Since we will be working together. I'd like to ask. Terashima, what kind of abilities do you have?"

Yuhi turned to Sumire who gave him an approving nod.

"Just fire?"

He summoned wind from his other hand and made the red flame change into a black one.

"Ah, that's why the boss is concerned. You have a healing flame, and a destructive flame."

"Yeah."

"-and Sumire has her flames, and the blood ability." Toh paused. "There is something else right, beautiful?"

"I think I have what Lucifer has. Darkness."

Toh frowned. "What the Lord has beautiful isn't just darkness but the touch of death."

Yuhi's eyes widened, alarmed hearing those words.

"He can switch between the two, his normal darkness won't do much other than give you an infection. But when he uses the other darkness, the touch of death, he can kill with a single touch."

"I suppose that explains why he wears that cloak, and those gloves.?It also explained when we were walking around during the festival he was trying to take isolated paths."

Yuhi paused, focusing on the 'festival' part, that sounds like a date. Although Hino mentioned that Sumire wasn't being mistreated, Yuhi assumed that Lucifer kept her locked up the entire time. Although they spoke about Lucifer in great length when he returned, she still hasn't told him everything that has happened.

He simply assumed that the events were too traumatic for her to mention.

Sumire lifted the cup to her lips only for Mashima to take the cup and put a straw inside.

She laughs softly. "Thank you."

"We can't tire your pretty hands beautiful."

Damn, that was smooth. Why can't he think of things like that? Yuhi exhales deeply. Hino is right, he really is bad at romance. But can anyone really blame him? Other than Sumire, he has never loved anyone else.

"Is there something that triggers the touch of death? It would be good to know."

At those words Mashima paused.

"Or is that too much to ask already?"

Mashima shakes his head. "Truthfully, I can't answer right away because I'm not exactly sure."

"Even though you're his closest subordinate?" Yuhi questioned.

Yuhi noticed even with Mashima disrupting and disagreeing with him, Lucifer didn't get mad. But, when Nagawa spoke up, Lucifer immediately stopped him. The only difference between the two is Mashima treated Sumire well and continues to do so. While Nagawa has proven that even if he loves Sumire, he will hurt her whenever he gets the chance.

Toh sighs. "Even if I am, there are secrets the Lord keeps to himself. Beautiful, you pointed out that when his pupils turn black he switches to his beast. Is there anything else you recall from your past lives with him?"

"Mm, there are a few things. But, I only noticed this stuff in the fifth life. That was when the curse was getting out of control."

Yuhi frowned as he recalled something. When he met her in the sixth life, her arms were covered in dark bruises and so was her back. At?the time she explained that they were wounds she sustained in her last life and due to the severity they passed onto the next.

"Did he hit you?"

Sumire bit her bottom lip. "Yuhi-"

"Tell me now, you were so vague about it before, but I already suspected it. Tell me."

Sumire slowly nodded her head. "The hitting started in the fourth life. He was slowly transforming into the beast, and occasionally during his transformations I would get caught in the crossfire."

Before he could get angry, he heard a loud thud sound and noticed that Mashima had punched the edge of the table.

"That bastard, that fucking bastard. What happened to all his grand talk about keeping you safe?" Toh exclaimed.

"Toh, it's not his fault. He was-"

Toh shakes his head. "You can't tell me that it was nothing. Even if you ignore the physical pain, wounds of the heart cannot vanish. Do you not realize Sumire? You dislike being touched. I'm sure there is another reason, but the Lord certainly contributed to it."

At those words Sumire who was struggling to maintain a neutral expression burst into tears. "I know, I know what he did was awful. But he was in so much pain and I don't think it helped that I married another."

Yuhi had to speak up then. "You married another?"

Then Sumire explains how Lucifer had a brother, how that brother was also interested in her. How that brother raped her on her wedding day and continued to do so.

"It went on for at least two years. During that time Lex was very busy with work, so I don't think he realized how we hadn't been spending much time together intimately. Eventually I told him, but by that time the damage was done. I couldn't stay in the spirit realm even after Lennon was punished. So Lex decided for both of us to move to the human realm, we lived a good life there until a witch expressed their interest in Lex, things went downhill from there."

"What about this brother?" Toh trailed off. "If you mentioned him after that topic, is he-"

Sumire nodded. "I married him in the fifth life, but I was engaged to him in the fourth."

Yuhi truly didn't know what to say. How could she marry that piece of trash? 'I know Sumire has a kind heart, but she herself has said on many occasions that she isn't a saint. It's hard to believe that she would forgive someone who did something bad to her-' Yuhi paused in mid-thought. Actually, it's not hard to believe considering how she treats Nagawa after everything that has happened.

Still, there must be circumstances he doesn't know about.
