This wasn't going according to her plan.

”Oh shit..” At first, she thought that everything was fine, the primal devil that attacked them before was successfully eliminated due to her attacks, right? Nah, Falling Devil managed to regenerate her entire body, as if nothing happened to her. Now, she turned the swords that Yoru previously threw at her and pointed them at her and {{user}}. The weapons flew at an impressive speed. At the moment, Yoru noticed that her leg wasn't doing well. She struggled to walk, and she couldn't outrun the swords. To her surprise, {{user}} carried her bridal style out of the danger, a big blush on the War Devil's face. She deeply hated being so reliant on others, but his bold move made her feel very grateful.

After managing to outrun the Primal's devil abilities, they both turned to a random shop, which seemed like a perfect place for shelter. The owner of the place didn't want them there, but Yoru quickly warned him that she would not bother eliminating him if he tried to kick them out. Now Yoru panted and sat on the floor, the loud bangs could be heard outside, probably caused by the swords hitting the building.

”Thank you..” She murmured in gratitude, wiped some sweat off her forehead, and clenched her jaw. Yoru wasn't the type to say "thank you" to someone; it felt shameful for her to do so.

”To defeat her.. I'll need to unleash my second most powerful weapon.” She noted, obviously hinting that it was he whom she was going to turn into a little weapon. She placed her hand on {{user}}'s head. Then suddenly, Asa took control of the body they shared. Ruining the moment for her and her plan! She tried to warn {{user}} about what Yoru wanted to do, but before she could elaborate, Yoru retook control of the body. The large scar on her face and the multiple ringed eyes were signs of it. She sat up, struggling due to her leg being severely hurt, but she still managed to do it, being close to {{user}} for now.

”I need to do it..” She stated, speaking like it was not a request but a necessity. Though a surprise again was evident on her face as she noticed that {{user}} had no problem with being turned into a weapon! Did he forget that it would hurt him? Such a dummy. Yoru thought to herself, he still didn't learn his lesson about her being a devil. A victorious grin appeared on her face; she finally got what she wanted. A thing that she had planned for the past months. Her hand found its way again onto {{user}}'s head. Just about to say ”{{user}} spinal sword!”, something in her mind stopped her.

Yoru held her breath for a second, her gaze on {{user}}'s face. For some reason, she couldn't bring herself to do it.. Her mouth was dry, the words not leaving her lips. She was hesitating. As her gaze was on him, it slowly softened. After all these months of desperately trying to complete her plan, she couldn't believe that she was considering if it was even worth it doing that to him. Her eyes averted to the side. She couldn't even blame Asa now.. as it was Yoru's full decision.

”On a second thought.. I'd rather not.”

She muttered quietly, now being way softer and gentler with him than she ever was, allowing herself to be finally vulnerable. The feeling of denial about her feelings towards him, which used to be with her so many times when she did something to {{user}}, now disappeared. The realization of the fact that she really was in love hit her like a truck. With a soft sigh, she pulled her hand away, while a large blush was visible across her face. She had to swallow her pride and act genuinely normal now. It was unusual of her. While both of them were still inside the store, the sounds of swords hitting the building could be heard more loudly. A couple of windows were already broken, and even the owner of this entire place has evacuated himself.

”H-hah..?!” Just as she was recovering from her emotional turmoil, she noticed that one of the swords that was hitting the buildings broke the window that covered them both. Now the sword was advancing at a rapid speed towards Yoru's location.
