Since everyone had already agreed, Tatsuki didn't waste time.
In the blink of an eye, the Sacred Domain unfolded. Everyone present officially became members of the Chrono Clan.
Yumiko Miura widened her eyes in surprise. "I can feel… some kind of power flowing inside me!"
She took one step—
"Wah!" and instantly dashed straight into Tatsuki's chest.
Thankfully, he caught her before she slammed into the wall.
"Careful. You'll need time to get used to the ability," Tatsuki reminded gently, patting her head.
"Mhm… I-I got it." Yumiko stood up and straightened his slightly wrinkled shirt with an awkward little smile.
"…." Yui silently watched the two of them.
Yumiko quickly moved aside.
Tatsuki snapped his fingers.
Space inside the clubroom warped and stretched—and in an instant, everyone was transported into a strange new dimension.
Walking toward a nearby cabinet, Tatsuki opened its door and began explaining.
"I set up a dimensional gate here. Anyone registered under the spatial seal can pass through it into this parallel space."
"Here, you can train your powers freely."
"You probably already feel it—the Chrono Clan's ability lets you accelerate your own time while slowing the outside world. But be careful; without control, you'll end up like Yumiko just now."
"Amazing, a time-based ability!" Marin's eyes sparkled. "That means I'll never have to worry about oversleeping again!"
Eriri clenched her fists excitedly. "That means I can stay up even longer to finish my drawings!"
Miko Yotsuya even smiled faintly. "Then I can finally outrun the ghosts I see every day."
"…." Tatsuki sighed. I give them a power to manipulate time—and this is how they plan to use it.
He shot Eriri a glare. "No staying up late. Or I'll make sure you don't get a wink of sleep all night."
Eriri's face turned red; her small fang peeked out as she huffed. "Hmph! Then bring it on, let's see who lasts longer!"
Yukino rolled her eyes slightly. Eriri, that tone of yours is way too eager.
Tatsuki didn't bother arguing with the little pervert. I'll just have to 'educate' her tonight.
"This space is reinforced. Even if Yukino went all out, it wouldn't break. You can also use it as a shelter—it's completely safe."
He wasn't exaggerating. Among them, Yukino's power was the strongest—her ice magic nearly at Lv.5. Eriri, despite wielding Dragon-Slaying Magic, had trained less efficiently, hovering around Lv.3.
This sealed space could withstand even Lv.6 power with ease. As a sanctuary, it was perfect.
"Oh?" Yukino's eyes lit up. "Then this truly is the ideal training ground."
Tatsuki turned toward Yui. "Yui, do you want to become my Angel of Redemption?"
"I do! But… can I really?"
Her voice trembled with both excitement and fear.
"Don't worry. Just focus your thoughts on me."
"Mhm!"
Yui took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
As Tatsuki expected, he instantly felt her love radiating toward him.
"Ah—!"
Warmth surged through Yui's body. When she opened her eyes again, she was floating midair.
"Whoa!"
Startled, she glanced down—then saw the pair of pure white wings sprouting from her back. Her expression lit up with joy. "I really became an angel!"
Below, Yumiko looked up in envy. An angel… how beautiful…
"Come down, there's more to do," Tatsuki called.
Yui landed gracefully, retracting her wings and halo before standing before him with flushed cheeks.
Tatsuki transferred knowledge directly into her mind—the techniques of Haki and the Six Styles—then produced a strange gray fruit with swirling patterns.
"What's this?" Yui asked curiously, poking at it.
Tatsuki smirked. "Take a bite and you'll find out."
Without hesitation, Yui bit into it.
Her face instantly twisted. "Ugh—so bitter!"
"You have to swallow it," Tatsuki said calmly.
Hearing that, Yui clamped her mouth shut, teary-eyed, and forced it down.
"Haa… haa…" She gasped for air. "So gross! Tatsuki-kun, are you teasing me?"
"Haha, no. Try using your new ability."
"Eh?"
She blinked, then suddenly felt something awaken inside her. Her body lifted off the ground—this time without wings.
"This is the Float–Float Fruit," Tatsuki explained. "It lets you fly freely, and you can make anything you touch float."
"Incredible! It's like telekinesis!" Miko's eyes gleamed—this was the kind of superpower she dreamed of.
"Aww, Tatsuki-kun treats Yui so well," Marin sighed.
Yumiko also nodded in agreement. Clan, angel, superpower… he really does spoil her.
After landing, Yui hugged him tightly. "Thank you, Tatsuki-kun."
Tatsuki lifted her chin playfully. "Still tastes bitter?"
Yui nodded faintly. "Just a little…"
"Then let me rinse your mouth for you."
Before she could react, he kissed her deeply.
For a moment she froze, then melted into his arms, her hands wrapping around his neck as she kissed him back, losing herself in the moment.
Seeing this, the others quietly moved away to train their powers—none wanted to be the third wheel.
Yumiko glanced back once before leaving, her lips pressed together lightly.
…
Tatsuki and Yui didn't go further than that; just a long, tender kiss before he let her focus on mastering her power.
Later, Tatsuki left the parallel space and stepped into the Chaos Realm.
The Sin Realm had been reshaped by the Witches' hands. Now it looked… uniquely artistic.
Typhon, Minerva, Carmilla, Daphne, Sekhmet, and Echidna had together created a vast gray castle estate—decorated with plants, sculptures, and even magical beasts crafted by Daphne.
In contrast, Satella had built a pure black fortress—naming it the City of Shadows, perfectly matching her dark power.
Pandora, however, chose something different: a simple two-story house she called Love's Nest.
Tatsuki could only sigh at that one. He did want to experience Pandora's "Love's Nest"… but that wasn't today's goal.
He moved on to the Realm of Faith, quietly entering the sky-bright city built by Kayo Senju and her little angels—a city shimmering with divine technology.
He appeared silently, unnoticed.
His destination: Talulah's room. She'd been under reflection long enough; it was time to address her condition.
Inside the white-walled Room 717, Talulah sat motionless on the bed, lifeless as a doll.
From his talks with Kayo earlier, Tatsuki already understood—Talulah's mind was still imprisoned in guilt and self-condemnation.
Today, her caretaker was Enju Aihara.
"Tatsuki-oniichan!"
Spotting him, Enju ran up and leapt into his arms.
He caught her easily. "It's been a while, Enju."
She rubbed her head affectionately against his chest, inhaling his scent before pouting.
"What's wrong? Did someone bully you?" he teased, pinching her nose.
"Of course not!" she huffed. "But… Tatsuki-oniichan, did you do it with Kayo-oneechan?"
"…."
Tatsuki coughed awkwardly. "Ahem—why ask that?"
Enju puffed her cheeks. "Kayo said she did! So why can't Enju?" (T/N: She's talking about a kiss I think)
So that's what this is about…
He couldn't help but chuckle. "Of course you can, Enju. But… are you sure you want to right now?"
He gestured toward the bed—where Talulah sat, blank and silent.
Enju didn't care in the slightest.
The moment she heard his consent, her excitement flared; she grabbed his collar eagerly. "Right now!"
"…."
Tatsuki sighed helplessly. Well, I can't exactly deny her.
And so, he decided to give the little one the attention she desired—while the emotionless Talulah remained sitting silently beside them, like a lifeless doll.
