Chapter 14 – Episode 14. Yokai (1)
Miyuki and I, having finished our bath, started acting as if nothing had happened again.
It was only natural.
My relationship with Miyuki was one that could never be spoken of publicly.
A friend’s mom who had sex with her son’s friend.
It was a manga story I really liked, but if it happened in real life, it wouldn’t just be a commotion, it would be a catastrophe.
On top of that, my relationship with Miyuki was, at its core, that of a victim and a perpetrator, or a slave and a master. Actually, it was a bit ambiguous.
It was like we were acting like lovers?
We showered together, acted spoiled, said we loved each other, and even had irresponsible unprotected sex.
‘Hmm. No matter how I look at it, we’re lovers.’
Thanks to that, our relationship was roughly… more than lovers, less than slaves? Hmm. That sounds a bit lame…
Anyway, that was about the extent of our relationship.
“Open your mouth. Aah~♥”
“What if Souta comes…”
“It’s okay, so~♥”
“Well, if you say so.”
Of course, Miyuki’s thoughts seemed a little different.
Anyway, after thoroughly ravaging Miyuki, I called my parents, or rather, my mother(s), and told them that I was staying overnight at Souta’s, then went to sleep.
For the record, I slept in Souta’s room, of course.
I wanted to go into Miyuki’s room and sleep with her, but if I did, I might have to have even more sex with Miyuki, and since I was out of energy, I just decided to sleep in Souta’s room.
After falling asleep in Souta’s room, I woke up early in the morning.
‘I must have been really tired. I slept two hours longer than usual.’
I usually only slept about four hours, but I guess because of yesterday’s sex, I slept a whole two hours more.
Thanks to that, I was able to wake up with a very refreshed face.
Anyway, after waking up refreshed and going to the bathroom, I went downstairs to the first floor, where I saw Miyuki’s back as she was cooking while wearing an apron.
A playful mood was triggered by that sight, so I quietly walked behind her and then…
-Grabbed!
I hugged her from behind and touched her chest.
Squish~
I enjoyed the soft sensation that made me go “Wow~” for a moment.
“Hyaa♥ T, Takuya-kun…♥ Did you sleep well last night♥?”
Even though I suddenly touched her chest, Miyuki didn’t scold me, but instead greeted me casually.
I smiled inwardly at her greeting and replied.
“I slept well. How about you, Miyuki?”
“I, I did too, of course—Hngh♥”
Before Miyuki could finish her sentence, I grabbed her chest even harder, stopping her words, and asked again.
“I slept well too. How about you, Miyuki?”
Only then did Miyuki understand what I was saying, and she answered with a flushed face.
“I slept well too, Master♥”
I seemed satisfied with that answer and let go of her chest.
It would be rude to bother someone who was working hard to make breakfast any more than that.
When I let go of her chest, Miyuki gave me a look that seemed a little disappointed, but I pretended not to notice.
‘I’m hungry.’
Actually, I was a little hungry too.
Miyuki started making breakfast again, but she was faster than before.
It was only natural.
‘Because I’m helping her.’
Because I was supporting her from the side.
The reason I was supporting her was partly because I wanted to eat breakfast quickly, and partly because I felt a little bad for Miyuki who was working hard alone.
But unexpectedly, my small act of consideration seemed to have pleased Miyuki.
【Status】
[Miyuki]
[Corruption: 65%]
[Lewdness: 42%]
[Obedience: 60%]
[Developed Areas▼]
[Scenario Progress: 64%]
Miyuki’s obedience had increased considerably.
‘Hmm. I didn’t aim for it, but is this a win?’
After a while of making breakfast with Miyuki, just as the food was almost ready, Souta woke up and came downstairs to the first floor.
“Ugh… good morning…”
“Good morning, Souta.”
“Souta. Breakfast is ready. Go wash up.”
“Okay…”
After that, well, we ate breakfast with Souta, and while Souta went to the bathroom to brush his teeth again, Miyuki came up to me and whispered.
“I’ll tell Souta-kun to come pick up his [left behind item] later. You can come alone then. Hehe♥”
At those words, I thanked Miyuki, and at the same time, I grabbed her big butt hard and said.
“Is this my reward?”
“Yes♥ Please do♥”
Having resolved the issue of funding, I said goodbye to Souta and immediately left his house.
Because I still had too much to do.

About three hours had passed since then.
During that time, I had been wandering around all sorts of places and had successfully acquired various farming items.
[Aphrodisiac x2]
[Stamina Booster x3]
[Health Recovery Potion x3]
[Strange Map]
[Pocket Watch (but it seems to be broken somewhere)]
There were some items that didn’t make much sense, but this harvest was not bad.
No. Actually, it was too good.
Because there was still one ‘really good item’ I had gotten this time.
I looked at the tattoo on the back of my hand, which vaguely resembled a heart, and held back a smile.
It was only natural. This tattoo was, in fact…
[Tattoo of Rebirth (Saves you once when you die!)]
It was my spare life.
Did it seem like too much of a fantasy item to suddenly appear in modern everyday life?
From the moment an aphrodisiac that made women masturbate uncontrollably appeared, it was already fantasy enough.
Actually, it wasn’t that I didn’t understand these thoughts.
‘I was quite surprised when I first saw it.’
I was also very surprised when I first got this item.
Why did such an item exist in a modern setting?
The answer was surprisingly simple.
‘There are also fantasy-based Tsukuru RPGs among the ero-villain’s games.’
That’s because there was a Tsukuru RPG based on fantasy among the games made by the ero-villain.
Perhaps that was why these items were appearing.
From the fact that there was an elixir (panacea) in the store I saw last time, this was only natural.
‘Still, getting a spare life is really good luck.’
Of course, even if I thought that, getting this spare life was a great thing.
Some might say, what’s so great about that?
But those who know the fear of death would know how great this item was.
As I looked at my precious spare life with affectionate eyes, I realized that it was almost lunchtime, and I remembered the promise I had made last time.
‘And come to think of it. I should go to the shrine.’
That was the lunch appointment with Tachibana Misaki, the self-proclaimed girl with the ability to see ghosts, and a friendless loner.
Thanks to Miyuki, I didn’t have to worry about initial funds, but the more money, the better.
Thinking that, I got up from my seat to buy a lunch box to meet Tachibana Misaki, the protagonist of [Genius Exorcist Misaki ~ The Genius Exorcist Never Submits to Yokai].
I secretly hoped that the lunch box I had last time would be there again.
Personally, that lunch box was really delicious.
***
A little while after Takuya left his spot.
A large crow landed where Takuya had been squatting.
The crow, which looked like a different kind of bird to anyone who saw it, looked around the spot where Takuya had been.
“Caw, caw, caw.”
It cawed a few times towards the sky.
-Whoosh!
It disappeared from the spot.
Not just flying away or moving somewhere else. It literally disappeared from the spot.
As if nothing had been there in the first place.
.
.
.
.
.
Beep. Beep.
“Thank you. Please come again.”
I successfully got the same lunch box I had last time, and I left the convenience store with a smile on my face.
If I hadn’t gotten it, I might have committed a ‘faux pas’ to the convenience store clerk out of disappointment.
Having gotten the lunch box, I headed to the shrine with a happy heart.
No. I was about to head there.
“Huff! Huff! Senior, am I not late?!”
“You’re late, you idiot.”
“Haha. R-Really?”
Before I saw a female high school student with a familiar back, who was probably a convenience store clerk, rushing in and apologizing profusely.
‘What is it? She looks familiar?’
Looking at the back of that woman, I thought for a moment that I had seen that high school student’s face somewhere.
A ponytail, healthy-looking tanned skin, and a high level of energy that didn’t seem like that of an ordinary person.
Ah, I really feel like I’ve seen her somewhere?
I was sure I knew that woman, but I couldn’t remember where I had seen her.
It felt like I had seen her in one of the ero-games, but maybe not…
‘I don’t know. Is it just my imagination?’
I had seen so much subculture that I might have just mistaken a similar character for someone I knew.
After worrying for a long time, I eventually decided that it was probably just my imagination and headed back to the shrine.
I couldn’t shake off the uneasy feeling.
