71 CHAPTER 70 (1/2)

As a long time passed, Yumine was able to wake up and open her eyes,

”What the? Where...am I now?”.

She felt that her arms were spread hanging. Her wrists were bound in chains as well. Not only that, she witnessed that she was at a ruined place where the air didn't flow. Through her eyes, it looked-like a crude torture dungeon of some sort. As there were whips, ropes, candles, and all sorts of things that would be used in a BDSM roleplay at the sides. Yumine tried to break away from the chains yet, to no avail, the shackles were strong. In turn, she just sighed with an irritated look,

”Darn...”.

Sooner or later, the cold metal door opened and a hooded male with gold embelishments around his cloak approached her close. The mysterious figure held his own hips and greeted her with a familiar voice,

”Rise and shine, Yumi...”.

Then, he pulled down his hood and Senku's face was revealed for Yumine to see.

As Yumine saw Senku's face she couldn't believe her own two eyes,

”You?”.

Senku nodded. After that, Yumine became furious and blurted at him lots, while she was struggling from the chains,

”WHY SENKU? WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS?!”.

Yumine tried to force herself out by clenching her fist and casting out her powers. Sadly, nothing came out as her divine powers were nullified as well. After that, the only thing she could was just to express more hatred at him,

”WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!”.

Senku just facepalmed and laughed like a sarcastic maniac. Afterwards, he held her lower chin and said close to her gorgeous face,

”Let's just say you're in my...LIST OF GODDESS SLAVE CANDIDATES.”.

Yumine looked down and disappointed,

”So Miro was correct all along huh...”.

Senku walked left and right repeatedly, while he was talking to her,

”Yeah, for a muscle-brain Fallen, he's got sharp intuition. To be honest, I was just on the verge of making plans.”.

Then, he stopped and facepalmed again with a hilarious grin on his face,

”But, I just found you and Miro sleeping on the ground. So I just took both of you in. Heheh! I wonder why were you two sleeping outside...”.

Then, Senku praised himself in front of Yumine close to her face,

”AM I LUCKY OR WHAT?”.

Yumine just looked away,

”Does that also mean...”.

She looked at him with a fierce look straight in the eye,

”You're the MASTERMIND behind the things that had happened before?! Even ORI'S ABSURD CASE?!”.

Senku walked away for a few paces and looked at Yumine again,

”PARTIALLY yes, I am the mastermind of what happened before. Yet, I'm just FOLLOWING THE ORDERS given to me by the REAL MASTERMIND. In my own way that is...”.

Yumine expressed more filled with rage,

”Ugh! And here I thought you were truly a respectable divine being!”.

Yumine tried to pull herself away but, it was all futile. Senku just sighed and explained to Yumine in brief,

”That was before, my dear Yumi. But, respect and kindness won't beget you to fulfill your ambitions.”.

Yumine was convinced with a haughty grin,

”Heh! So that's why...”.

After that, Senku asked her,

”Also, I have a proposition for you?”.

Yumine twitched her left eyebrow,

”And if I don't want to cooperate!?”.

Senku brought out a mobile tablet from his left hand. Then, he revealed the screen for Yumine's eyes to see,

”Oh you don't even wanna know what I'll do MORE to your PRECIOUS PET Fallen...”.

From the screen, she was witnessing that Miro was shackled with lots of chains at another torture room. Not only that, he was battered and had swollen bruises all over his face and body. Even his Fallen uniform was ripped apart. It's as if he was tortured recently as the wounds were fresh and he was slathered in blood. Thereon, Yumine cried tears of immense pain for the sad state of her lover,

”Miro!”.

The grinning Senku threw the tablet away and squeezed Yumine's cheeks forcefully.

”So, what will it be? MY DEAR Goddess Yumine?”,

Senku dared her. The chilling silence was coursing through the air, as Senku was glaring at her. Although, Yumine had stopped resisting. She just looked away with hopelessness in her eyes,

”Alright, I'll cooperate with you...and your so-called ambitions...”.

Senku masked a satisfied grin. More so, he removed his hold on her, as his ears were clapping from Yumine's pitiful response,

”I'm glad we had an understanding...”.

As if she was a begging slave already, Yumine pleaded with all her heart and soul,

”Just don't hurt Miro anymore please!”.

Senku didn't respond but, he just gave her a short kiss on her flawless cheek. Even though it was a kiss, Yumine hated it since, it came from the diabolic Senku. Soon, Senku went a few meters away and stared at Yumine from head to toe. He licked his lustful lips and brought out a whip coursing with energies of distortion and chaotic elements. Yumine just averted her look and accepted her fate. After that, Senku said with evil glee,

”NOW LET THE CREATION OF A DISTORTED GODDESS BE—.”.

Suddenly, his smartphone rang from his pocket and made him to pause. He looked quite annoyed but, he took up the call instead,

”Yes, what is it my dear Lua? What?!”.

Then, Senku looked frunstrated, as he was on the phone,

”But you already had—that's ugh!”.

Soon, he pinched his own forehead, since he was pretty much stressed,

”Alright fine...I'll get you another stuffed toy then...and you don't like Ieva acting like a disciplinarian? Geez alright alright...I'll get your mom now okay...”.

Then, he hang up on the call. As for Yumine she tilted her head, as she was dumbfounded by the unusual conversation of Senku's. Senku held his own hips and sighed, while he was looking at Yumine,

”Guess you're pretty lucky Yumi...as my DAUGHTER wanted me to buy another stuffed toy and yes she's kinda a spoiled brat. So see ya...”.

Later on, Senku left the cold torture room although, he was muttering with a frustrated look. As the impregnable door was shut tight. Yumine was able to breathe in. She recalled the previous things that had occured,

”I guess my skin was saved thanks to that bizzare call...”.

That moment, Yumine remembered something that struck her attention,

”Wait...Senku has a daughter? And Ieva was with her too? That's new...Though, I wonder who's the real mother though...”.

Meanwhile, back at the mocha-themed cozy room at Mai's inn, Ira sneezed out of the blue, while she was playing a two-player video game with little Nassus. Both of them were focused on the flat screen tv. While they were mashing the buttons from the game controllers they were handling. She tried to taunt little Nassus, as if she was going to win the game,
