Ch.295Temple! (6)

“AAAAARGH!!! IT’S HOT!!! I’M GONNA DIE!!! FUCK!! IT’S HOT!! DAMN IT!!!”

The seven-foot ghost screamed loudly while desperately clutching at its burning body.

“I told you to guard.”

I had warned it.

But… it couldn’t have guarded anyway. My attack was too fast. With its pathetic physical abilities, it was only natural that it couldn’t block it. Well… it was just unlucky.

Crack-!

I casually snapped its neck.

“Come at me. I’ll send you to your sister. Free shipping, of course.”

Swoosh-!

I held my sword horizontally. It was an application of the Thousand Mind One Heart style that Kana uses. After taking a powerful step forward, I thrust at the enemy. I couldn’t recreate it perfectly, but I could follow it to some extent.

Using this against a moderately strong opponent is how I improve. Can’t use it against truly strong enemies anyway.

“Y-you bastard…!! How much are you going to underestimate me?!!!!”

The seven-foot ghost lunged at me with a body tackle.

But I could see its trajectory completely.

BOOM-!!!

I strengthened my body with the Blazing Stance and kicked off the ground to close the distance.

KWAAAANG-!!!!

With a sound like a bomb exploding, my beloved sword Tomato pierced through the seven-foot ghost’s body.

“Th-this can’t be…!”

The seven-foot ghost’s body was completely impaled by my thrust.

Crack-crack-crack-!! Crack-crack-!

From the heart where my sword had pierced, cracks began to spread.

Crackle-! Snap-!!

KWAAAANG-!!!

The seven-foot ghost’s body shattered into pieces and scattered.

Swoosh-!

The ghost’s death was certain. The thick fog that had surrounded the area began to clear immediately. With this, the yokai was defeated.

“Phew… Ms. Aiko. Are you hurt?”

I asked, looking at Ms. Aiko.

“No… fortunately.”

Ms. Aiko nodded.

“To think the evil spirit dwelling in this temple… could be defeated so easily.”

Ms. Aiko muttered in surprise.

Well, I had plenty of questions. Why was such a dangerous yokai in this temple, and how did Ms. Aiko know about its existence… things like that. Plus, I needed to thank Thumbs-up Man.

However, my number one priority was just one thing.

“Up we go.”

I immediately picked up Ms. Aiko in a princess carry.

“W-wait!! Shota-kun…! I’m heavy!”

Aiko exclaimed, squirming in my arms.

“Huh? Did I hear something?”

I said with a sly smile.

“Really… saying such nonsense…”

Aiko said that but still nestled comfortably in my arms. No woman dislikes being told she’s light.

“We can talk about the details later… everyone’s sleeping now anyway.”

I smiled and kissed Aiko’s forehead.

“Let’s enjoy ourselves, just the two of us. Okay?”

I said, looking straight at Ms. Aiko.

“Hehe… ❤”

Aiko nodded with a flirtatious sound.

Afterward, Aiko and I thoroughly mixed our bodies in front of the Buddha statue.

As for Thumbs-up Man… I decided to let him go home for now and properly thank him later.

——–

From the darkest depths of dawn until the day began to break, Aiko and I intertwined our bodies.

“Shota-kun… we should go back to the original bedroom soon.”

Aiko said with a whine.

“But I don’t want to leave my beautiful Aiko-noona…”

I said, nuzzling against Aiko’s voluptuous breasts that seemed to flow downward.

“Really… such a spoiled boy…!”

Aiko seemed to feel feminine pride in being attractive enough to keep a man captivated.

“But… I’ve committed a sin. With a man I’m not married to… and stealing the man my daughter likes…”

Pressed as close to me as possible, Aiko sighed.

Now that her desires had been somewhat satisfied, her sense of guilt seemed to be resurfacing.

“All of this… was caused by me.”

And Aiko continued with a bitter expression.

“I became a monk… decided to abandon my life as a woman and devote myself to Buddhism… but in the end, I was just suppressing my desires. My base feminine desires overflowed and ended up awakening the yokai dwelling in this temple.”

Aiko said.

“I… was defeated by my desires.”

I quietly watched as Aiko said this.

And just as Aiko closed her mouth, I immediately sealed her lips with mine.

Smooch❤ Chu❤

Even while troubled, Aiko hungrily stole my lips.

“Sh-Shota-kun…”

Aiko’s face flushed slightly.

“Don’t hold back.”

I said just one thing.

“Don’t hold back…?”

“Forcing yourself to suppress your desires is just another way of being controlled by them. Ms. Aiko, you’re human, and you’re a woman. If it becomes too hard to bear… call me.”

I said.

“N-no… this is just a one-night relationship…”

Aiko said hurriedly.

“Is that so? I think I’ll keep thinking about you, Ms. Aiko.”

It seemed like I would be visiting the temple regularly.

“I’ll help release all your desires, Ms. Aiko.”

I said.

“Really… if you keep saying such things to a child’s mother… I’ll revert to being a young girl.”

Aiko whispered cutely while nestled in my arms.

“What’s wrong with that? Making a little sibling for Aki wouldn’t be bad, right?”

I asked Ms. Aiko.

She was a beauty too precious to let go, and she seemed like she’d raise children well. I heard a cry from my genetic units. A cry that I shouldn’t let this woman go.

“Mmm… a baby… I should think carefully…”

Yet Ms. Aiko continued to snuggle against me, maintaining our skinship. It was a declaration of her desire to do more with me.

“We’ll think about it if you get pregnant!”

I immediately pinned Ms. Aiko down.

And so, Aiko and I spent a dreamlike dawn together. Only when the sun was about to rise did I quietly return to my original room. My girlfriends were… sleeping peacefully. I slipped inside as if nothing had happened.

Ding-!

Since I was already awake, I just opened my status window to check the contents.

‘Your relationship with Aiko has deepened.’

‘Suppressing desires isn’t the only answer. By affirming her desires, you’ve become her true confidant.’

‘Communication Max Reward: Inoh’s Combination Formula has been unlocked.’

The effect of maxing out my communication with Aiko was displayed. Hmm. We did get closer than I expected. With this, I could make a new psycho-robot for Sasits. Really… is there anyone who treats Sasits as well as I do? Just… loyalty!!

Anyway, morning came and everyone woke up.

———

Sunday morning. Today’s duty was again assigned to me and Aiko. My other girlfriends offered to help, but… I said I’d do it (sweet).

“Alright! Then Monopoly!!”

Tina immediately brought out the Monopoly board.

“This is it!!”

“Morning Monopoly? Can’t resist!!”

Everyone started setting up the Monopoly board right away. Seriously. How much do they love Monopoly?

Ms. Aiko and I began preparing breakfast. Actually, curry would be the simplest, but… it seemed a bit much to have it two days in a row. So we decided to make a Japanese-style home meal based around grilled fish.

And while cooking, I reached for Ms. Aiko’s hand and interlaced our fingers.

“Oh my… people might see us.”

Ms. Aiko smiled and playfully slapped my hand.

While cooking, Aiko and I secretly played with each other’s hands, savoring our deepened relationship.

——–

During the meal, Aki stared intently at Aiko.

“By the way… Mom. Your face is strangely glowing? You seem to be in a good mood.”

Aki said.

“Oh my… is that so?”

Ms. Aiko looked slightly flustered.

“Ah. Maybe it’s because I slept well yesterday? My condition feels strangely good.”

Ms. Aiko quickly covered up with a mischievous smile. Knowing the truth, my face turned slightly red. Last night was… good. I found myself reliving the afterglow. There was a time when I wondered why go for a MILF when you could have a young woman, but I soon repented. MILFs had their own unique flavor.

And… we continued the temple stay with a schedule similar to yesterday’s.

Soon, everyone saw the state of the main hall. The Buddha statue where the yokai had dwelled was completely shattered.

“Mom!! What happened to this?!”

Aki made a tearful face.

“Ah… well… it seems that because it was so old, it finally broke.”

Ms. Aiko covered it up with that explanation.

“Ah… I guess so. This statue is older than me after all.”

Aki immediately accepted it. What a good daughter who trusts her mother’s words…!!!

“We’ll still meditate here. The Buddha statue itself isn’t what’s important.”

Ms. Aiko smiled and sat down. There was a kind of reverence in her posture.

“Buddha doesn’t dwell in statues. Buddha is in everything.”

Ms. Aiko said.

“Ooh… you sound like a real monk!!”

Umi exclaimed with shining eyes. Well, she is a real monk.

“Now, everyone clear your minds… and calmly think about what you’ve gained from this temple stay. If precious relationships have deepened here, be grateful for them and cherish those connections. Understand?”

Ms. Aiko set an example as the head monk.

Somehow… she was the model of a true monk, but it lacked persuasiveness coming from a female who had enjoyed a wild night with me yesterday.

I couldn’t help but smile at how cute Aiko was.

Anyway, the temple stay was successfully (?) concluded peacefully. I had maxed out the communication and achieved everything I wanted.

“Shota! Come again!!”

Aki was eager to create opportunities for an after-meeting with me.

“Sure.”

Finding Aki cute, I patted her head.

“There he goes with his male behavior again…”

Even the tolerant Eri seemed a bit exasperated.

‘And…’

Looking at the temple hall in the distance, I recalled Ms. Aiko’s feminine body. Soon… I should visit the temple again. Becoming a devout Buddhist wouldn’t be bad. I found myself wanting to read the Tripitaka deep inside Ms. Aiko’s body again.
