A warm afternoon.

I lay stretched out on the veranda of the residence, enjoying the warm sunlight of the summer afternoon, dozing off.

It had been three days since I settled down at Fumika’s house. All I’d done here was eat the meals Fumika prepared. After eating, I would indulge in her body. When I got tired, I’d lie down anywhere and fall asleep. No productive activities. No troublesome worries, just lazy days. It was a honey-like freedom, only allowed to the body of a young child.

“…Yes. …You too, Tanaka-ssi. …Heh heh.” While enjoying my freedom and blankly looking up at the blue sky, I suddenly shot up at Fumika’s voice from afar. I looked around, searching for the direction of the voice for a moment. I found Fumika sitting across from a middle-aged man who appeared to be a worshipper, conversing in a corner of the yard.

“…No, not at all. …It’s what I must do.” In stark contrast to my extreme laziness, Fumika faithfully carried out her duties as a priestess. Even though the old, dilapidated shrine didn’t have many worshippers, She woke up every day at dawn to sweep the shrine grounds and meticulously clean the sanctuary. Not only that. She even patiently endured the trivial chatter of lecherous men who were only interested in talking to her, without even putting a single coin into the offering box. Truly, her hardships were immense.

“Um, Fumika-ssi. Actually, there’s something I’d like to ask…” “A request? If it’s something I can do…” “Would you perhaps go to the summer festival with me in two weeks?” “Huh? Oh, I…” See? As soon as she indulged him a little in conversation, he made a request like that. “I’m sorry, I… I’m not really into festivals…” She shouldn’t be like that. When refusing, she needs to cut him off sharply and draw a firm line. Of course, he probably knew she would be like this, which is why he dared to ask a widow on a date. I guess I’ll have to help her out a bit.

Fumika wasn’t only engrossed in her duties as a priestess. *Buzzing-♥* “Haaah…! Wait…!” Fumika, who had been troubled by the man, Tanaka’s, request, suddenly bent forward at the waist and let out a short moan. “Ugh?!” A strange sound had unintentionally slipped from her lips, and she was a beat late in hastily covering her mouth with both hands.

“Fumika-ssi? What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” “N-no, no, it’s nothing. Ughh♥ Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit… shivery… I think I might be coming down with a cold….” She tried to smile and make excuses for Tanaka’s worried questions, but her nicely flushed cheeks and subtly trembling voice showed that she was clearly not fine, no matter how one looked at it.

“That’s terrible. They say summer colds are particularly nasty, so wouldn’t it be better for you to get some rest? If it’s alright… should I help you back home?” Even from afar, I could tell those words were brimming with ulterior motives. His dark intentions were plain to see. Let’s see, how will Fumika react?

Stealthily, I walked out of the residence building and hid myself behind the main hall. Then, as I curiously peeked at the unfolding scene, I pressed the button on the small ‘remote control’ I had kept in my pocket. And then.

“I-it’s fine…! T-this much… it’s really fine…! Haaah♥♥” Three days and nights of training. Perhaps because she had lived with the vibrator inserted even on days without training, She had become extremely sensitive, and seemed precariously close to spreading her legs and screaming in climax if the line were crossed just a little more. Had he sensed the blatant female arousal emanating from her body beneath the thin summer priestess attire, thin enough to reveal her skin? Tanaka was also frozen stiff in place, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. All sorts of lewd thoughts and fantasies must have been churning in his mind right now.

“Y-your complexion is truly too pale, Fumika-ssi. I’ll help you back home, so please…” “T-Tanaka-ssi, wait…! I really…!” Just as Tanaka finally grabbed Fumika’s slender arm, attempting to help her up, I decided this was a good moment and dashed out from the corner, approaching them.

“Sister, so you were here!” At my voice, Tanaka was startled and quickly pulled his hand from Fumika’s arm. “Fu-Fumika-ssi, this child…?” At Tanaka’s question, Fumika glanced at me before speaking. “Oh, that… this child is the son of an acquaintance… I’m looking after him for a few days.” It was a fairly plausible excuse for one thought up on the spot. But Tanaka’s expression was somehow strange. Should I say he looked deathly pale? His lips were trembling as if he had discovered some monster.

“C-could it be that rumor is true…” “Tanaka-ssi? What’s wrong?” “I, I! I just remembered I have a very urgent matter, so I must be going! Excuse me!” Watching Tanaka leave the shrine in a panicked rush, almost fleeing, Fumika tilted her head, wondering why he was acting like that. Looks like the rumor has already spread.

“What could be so urgent that he had to leave in such a hurry…?” Fumika still seemed to have no idea why, but well, there was no need to tell her. “So? What were you going to do if that man tried to take you inside the house all the way, Fumika?” When I asked her, teasingly, Fumika’s lips parted slightly for a moment. Soon after, she softly rubbed her lower abdomen with her hand and met my gaze.

“…Of course, I would have refused. The only one who can do as he pleases with my body and mind is… only Master…♥” Once again, a dense and lewd aura began to swirl in her calm eyes. I grabbed her chest and questioned her as if interrogating her. “Really? From your expression, it looked like you were on the verge of spreading your legs if he had just pushed a little more?” “Aah… Master is such a tease…♥”

“If you want to prove your sincerity, serve me right here, right now.” As I said that and pointed with my finger at her lower body, which was swollen as if about to burst, Fumika’s face flushed red. “Haaah…♥ If Master says so…” As Fumika swallowed the saliva pooling in her mouth and reached out towards my pants.

“Fumika Unnie~! I’m here~.” At the sudden familiar voice, Fumika and I simultaneously turned our heads. “Honoka…?” Fumika asked in surprise, looking at the red-haired woman who was entering the shrine grounds and cheerfully waving at us. She hastily hid the hand that had been reaching for my pants.

“Long time no see~. How have you been, Unnie? …Huh? Little Yuu is here too?” “Hello, Honoka Nuna…” “I told you so many times to come visit the shop, but you never showed your face, and here you are?” *Tsk.* I was happy to see Honoka, but the timing was a bit unfortunate. If only she’d come after I had already gotten off.

“Huh? But why do you look like that? Are you sick?” “Not really…” At my attitude, Honoka tilted her head, then chuckled casually and patted my shoulder. “So? Why are you here? And where’s Akari?” Fumika answered for me. Upon hearing the explanation that a way to turn me back to normal, just like with Akari, would soon be found, Honoka exclaimed in surprise.

“Oh~ It’s good that you can return to normal. Though I don’t think this state is so bad either.” “I think so too… *Cough*. But Honoka, what brings you here?” At Fumika’s question, Honoka scratched the back of her head as if only just remembering her reason for visiting. “Ah, well, you see, the summer festival is finally in about two weeks, right? We’re thinking of setting up something at our shop during this festival, and I was wondering if Unnie would like to do something with us.”

“During the festival? What would I do?” “Well, our products are mostly simple and kid-focused. So, I thought if we displayed shrine-related products together, it would round out the selection a bit.” At the somewhat concrete proposal, Fumika also composed herself and began to listen attentively to her story.

“…So?” “If it’s alright, I thought, what if we displayed and sold things like your shrine’s talismans or omikuji together in one corner of our shop?” At the straightforward and appealing proposal, Fumika was momentarily speechless, blinking blankly.

“Of course, no need for rent or anything like that. If we make a profit this way, it would be good to put it towards your shrine’s operation, wouldn’t it? …How about it?” Honoka, who seemed to have finished her proposal in her characteristic frank manner, asked in a timid voice at the end, observing Fumika’s reaction. *Pfft.* At that sight, Fumika, who had been listening attentively, burst out laughing.

“Hey. I was talking seriously…” “Heh heh. I’m sorry. Thank you for coming to talk, Honoka.” “Heh heh. As long as you know, it’s fine.” “By the way, it’s unusual for you, Honoka, to open a booth. You’ve always hated such troublesome things.”

“Ugh, don’t even mention it. My parents told me to participate in something this time. They’re off on an anniversary trip, relaxing, and yet they want to meddle with their daughter like this, I don’t know why!” “Now that you mention it.” Fumika, who had been smiling as she watched Honoka grumble with puffed-out cheeks, opened her mouth as if something had just occurred to her.

“Speaking of the festival, it just occurred to me that Mr. Kondo hasn’t visited at all. He always visited the shrine around this time.” As that name came from Fumika’s lips, Honoka replied with a disgusted expression. “Unnie, why do you care about a person like that? Just ignore whatever that lecherous old man does, wherever he is.” “Honoka, you shouldn’t say such things, even if he’s not here.” Despite Fumika’s scolding tone, Honoka paid no mind.

“Did I say anything wrong? I don’t understand how that man is still in that position, you know? I heard he’s been cooped up at home lately and hasn’t come out at all, and I just hope he never comes out for the rest of his life.” It seems the scene she witnessed three days ago was quite shocking for her. Let’s hope he never even comes near the shrine for the rest of his life.

“Anyway, that’s all I wanted to talk to you about, Unnie. Think about it carefully and contact me.” The moment Honoka finished speaking, I decided this was my chance and cut in. “Then I’ll go down with Honoka Nuna too! That’s okay, Fumika Nuna?” “Huh? Oh, y-yes, of course. Yuugun…” Yet, Fumika’s face, as she said that, was filled with regret and disappointment. I was disappointed too. It would have been good if I could hold her one last time. Well, it can’t be helped. There will be another chance next time.

“What, are you coming too? Then hurry up~ If you’re late, I’ll leave you behind~.” “W-wait, Honoka Nuna!” It was at that moment, as I was about to follow Honoka down from the shrine. I was absentmindedly fiddling with the vibrator remote control in my pocket. And I accidentally pressed the activation button.

“…Ah.” *ZZZZZZZZ-!!* “Ooooh…?!♥♥ N-noooo…! Aaahh! It’s coming…! It’s coming again…!” It was only a brief delay, but it seemed fatal for Fumika, who had become sensitive to her limit. *Splish-splosh-♥♥♥* Fumika, who had plopped down on the spot, twisted her whole body violently, gushing out an enormous amount of water. Her priestess attire’s lower half and the floor instantly became soaked. The vibrator, which had been vibrating inside her, weakly fell out and rolled across the floor.

Honoka, who had been blankly staring at the unbelievable sight, hastily covered my eyes with both palms. “Heugh…♥ *Hiccup*…♥” Fumika was gasping for breath from shame and embarrassment. But through the gaps in her fingers, the remnants of excitement and pleasure were clearly visible on her faintly seen face.

“N-no, Honoka! This…! It’s not like that…!” Fumika, who had been dazed for a while, belatedly came to her senses and tried to make excuses. But before that, Honoka let out a small laugh and cut her off. “Mmm~. I understand everything, Unnie. Since your husband passed away so early and you’ve been alone all this time… you’re a woman too, how lonely and hard must it have been for you every night? Isn’t that right?”

“U-ugh…?!” Though not clearly visible, Fumika’s face must have been stained bright red like a ripe tomato right now. “Well then, I’m really going to go now! Unnie, get plenty of rest and take good care of yourself! Got it?”

Honoka gave her a wink, then grabbed my hand and pulled me along. Led by her, I left the shrine behind, turning my head to glance back at Fumika. Fumika was still sitting on the floor, unable to properly adjust her wet clothes, and continued to stare blankly at Honoka and me as we moved away.

Hmm. Seeing that, I feel a little sorry. I’ll apologize properly when we meet next time. Now it’s time to conquer the third heroine.
