Chapter 589: Do you want to become a devil?
Touka knew that she had lost, so she let out a sigh and fell from midair since she was tired.
Tsukasa quickly caught her in his arms and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Un." Touka looked at Tsukasa, whose appearance had changed. Even though he was quite different from how he usually was, she could tell that it was him. Still, she blushed and hugged his neck affectionately. "You're so cruel."
Tsukasa could only laugh awkwardly since he knew what he did was quite too much, considering he almost got serious. After all, no matter what, Touka was still his girlfriend, and it was okay even if he pretended to lose or hurt, but even so, he didn't seem to hear dissatisfaction from her voice, and she seemed happy that he was alright, which made him realize how heavy her love toward him.
"Will you keep this appearance?" Touka suddenly asked.
"You don't like it?"
"No, no, it's okay. It's kind of new, and..." Touka was embarrassed since she wanted to do it with him on his new appearance.
"If you use this appearance tonight, I will also do the same tonight." He looked at Touka, who was dressed like a goddess, and felt his throat was dry.
"......"
Touka didn't say anything and only hugged him tightly, telling her to answer in a whisper shyly.
Tsukasa thought that he would have a good sleep tonight.

"Hey, my lovely disciple, am I seeing a thing?" Nangou asked with a loss.
"No, you're not an old fart. I see that too." Nene sighed and said, "He has become even stronger. I wonder how I can defeat him?"
"Don't dream. He is in the realm that it is impossible to be stepped on by a human now." Nangou also let out a long sigh, feeling he was old. "When we're still hesitating to jump into the sea, he jumps out and eats as much fish as he wants. No one in this world can match him unless..." He looked in the direction of someone and thought that this person should be the only person who could do something for Tsukasa.
Especially if that person was injected with a Lukifer.
Nangou believed that this person would create a miracle and defeat this demon king.
Yes, a demon king.
Nangou, Nene, Kurono, Edelweiss, and many others had already thought of him as a demon king. They knew what Shishio was doing and how dangerous it was, yet they could see him control that state perfectly and return to how it used to be so easy.
Excessive Awakening.
They knew that this was the state that he was in now.
Being a Desperado meant that one was standing on the boundary between a human and a devil. Because they were on that boundary, they were able to escape the fate of this world, becoming an existence that was impossible to be affected by fate, past, and future. They had become another creature that was different from normal people or the Blazers.
However, once they had passed the boundary, they would become a demon.
Nene had become a demon in the past, becoming an existence that passed the boundary. Usually, it would be impossible for one to return as a human once they had passed, but she could return. However, it was all thanks to Tsukasa that she could return.
On the other hand, Tsukasa could control this power perfectly without missing, which made them realize that he was already on the stage where everyone could only look him up.
While the four of them had a complicated mood, the rest was different.
"It's amazing! It's amazing! Wow! Sakra, Kugayama Tsukasa is so strong!" The host was so excited.
"....." Yuuzou looked at the host, who didn't understand anything, and fell silent. The existence of Desperado was a secret to the world, and it was impossible to announce that matter, so it was better to keep this matter quiet and let the host talk as he pleased. He knew that the host knew what was right or wrong, so he let him talk, and he just wanted to rest since he was afraid that he might die, considering his heart was so weak at this moment.
Still, Yuuzou was also wondering what was happening to Tsukasa.

"He's amazing, right?" Kiriko said proudly. Her mood was better since she knew that Tsukasa wouldn't marry Touka first. Still, she thought that it might be good to challenge him so that way, she could ask him to marry her first.
'Or should I ask him to impregnate me first?'
Kiriko was in a dilemma.
"Kiriko, do you know what that state is?" Stella suddenly asked.
"Hmm? That state? You mean his transformation?" Kiriko asked.
Stella nodded since she was curious.
"I am not sure." Kiriko shook her head and said, "I have never seen him using that transformation before, but I have to say that he is still handsome with darker skin."
"Yes." Stella was almost drooling, but she quickly shook her head. "Be serious! I am going to fight him tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, if you're curious, then just ask him. Anyway, you're also his woman. Even if you're going to fight each other on the final tomorrow, he'll answer you and might even help you to become stronger."
"....."
Stella knew that Kiriko was right, but how could she accept that?
"No, I think that it is better for me to do this by myself, not asking him, but help me, alright?" Stella looked at Kiriko and said, "You're the one who made Touka become so powerful, right?"
"That's right." Kiriko nodded, then looked at Stella and asked, "So, are you ready to become a devil?"
Unlike her usual calm expression, Kiriko showed a diabolical smile like she was on the verge of madness.
While Stella was quite stupified, she nodded. "Good, let me become one."
"Then, wait until later at night."
Kiriko nodded and wondered how strong Stella would be, and she couldn't wait until tomorrow's match, which was the final of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival.
