Chapter 21 – 21. The Widow Is Sticky!
I climbed the stairs of Yagitsune Shrine and looked at the worshipers.
Yagitsune Shrine was able to recover its worshipers thanks to my support.
It’s still not a great success, but it’s enough to make a living as a gentleman.
In this situation, if you don’t do something that will take extra money, you won’t starve to death even if you cut off your sponsorship.
“Welcome to Yagitsune Shrine.”
Climbing all the stairs, a part-time shrine maiden greets the worshipers with a smile.
Elsewhere, another part-time female shaman was in charge of fortune-telling, dealing with worshipers, and another cleaning staff was sweeping the floor with a broom and sweeping the shrine.
I didn’t go to the shrine like the worshipers, but headed to the house in the shrine where Yagitsune’s mother and daughter lived.
I rang the doorbell and waited for a while.
“Yes~ Who are you… Oh my! Mr. Roovelt!”
Unlike the first time I met her, Ayame Yagitsune welcomed me with her skin smooth and shiny and her hair tied in the middle of her straight hair with a white cloth braid to keep it from falling out.
She is tightly wrapped in a shaman’s uniform, but her voluptuous figure is still evident on the outside.
Really, who would think that on first look at this person she has an adult daughter.
Maintaining such beauty is only possible because Ayame Yagitsune was once a hunter.
Ayame Yagitsune who can handle her magical powers like Yagitsune Kagura.
But in the past, she had mediocre skills.
No, she was a hunter with slightly below skills.
Certainly stronger than normal people, but that doesn’t mean it’s uneasy to make money safely by defeating monsters in dungeons.
That’s why the gentleman couldn’t head to the dungeon to make money right away, even if the management was difficult.
In the first place, dungeons usually require an entrance fee unless you are an academy student.
The entrance fee is broken, and it is uncertain whether they will reap a great harvest, and she will leave Kagura alone if she does something wrong.
Because of such great worries, Yagitsune Shrine could not easily escape even if it fell into such a business crisis.
“Hello, Ayame-san.”
“Welcome! What are you here for today? Oh, did you come to see Kagura? That… I’m sorry. Kagura is going out to do her training now…”
“Are you practicing?”
“Yes. Kagura is going to enter the academy in March. She said she was going to train herself a bit more, so she left for another shrine.”
“Aren’t you doing it at Yagitsune Shrine?”
I think it will be better if you do it in a place where there is a god you worship.
“Ah, that’s… Kagura is very worried. If you want to help the shrine here, you won’t be able to concentrate, so I advised you to go to another shrine.”
“Okay.”
“I’ll be back in a month. I’m sorry, you’ve been looking for Kagura for so long.”
One month or so
Then, the only one left at the shrine is Ayame-san.
It’s a little disappointing not to be together, but it was a perfect situation for an intensive attack.
“No, Kagura didn’t have business today. Ayame-san has business to do.”
“To me?”
“Yes. Oh, may I come in?”
“Sure. Come in.”
Yagi Tsune entered her mother and daughter’s home and I sat in her reception room to greet her guests.
After a while, Mr. Ayame, who went to get tea and sweets, brought rice crackers and green tea and put them on his desk.
“Compared to what Rouvelt-nim usually eats, it’s nothing special, but if you don’t mind, please enjoy it.”
“No, I like that too.”
I chewed on a cracker and drank a slurp of green tea.
It’s okay if you eat this too.
“…What do I have to do, Mr. Roovelt?”
“Ah, yes. I looked around Yagitsune Shrine on the way up. It seems to be running really well. It seems that the number of part-timers has increased this time. It seems that the influx of worshipers is also good.”
Hehe, it’s all thanks to Rouvelt-sama’s support that I’ve recovered like this.”
“Yes. I feel really proud to support this gentleman. So…”
He paused a little and smiled as he spoke to Ayame-san.
“I’m relieved that I don’t need my support anymore.”
“…Yes?”
Ayame’s smile hardened.
“Hu, you don’t need sponsorship… What do you mean by that?”
“It’s literally. When I first came to this shrine, it was in desperate need of support. But now that it’s run like this, it probably doesn’t need my support anymore.”
“Uh, that… Well, please wait a moment, Mr. Roobelt. Go, if you suddenly say that…”
“Of course, I don’t mean to quit right away.
“Two, two months only…”
Ayame’s complexion is getting paler.
“After that… I’ll have to find another shrine or facility that wants my help. I’m really glad this Yagitsune Shrine has recovered…”
“Lou, Mr. Roovelt!”
Ayame-san got up from her seat and approached me very impatiently.
“Now, wait a minute! Wait a minute! Please! Please don’t cut off your support!”
I understand why Ayame-san is so impatient.
But now he pretended to be embarrassed.
“Ah, Mr. Ayame? Why are you like that?”
“That’s…! That’s really it! It’s really dangerous if Mr. Roovelt cuts off his sponsorship! It’ll go back like before!”
“Yeah? What do you mean?”
“Oh, actually… I recently took out a loan to set up a statue of Yorugitsune-sama. I still have two years left to pay off the loan. But after Rouvelt-sama’s end, I’m in real danger!”
Just like when we first met, Mr. Ayame stutters and makes a desperate expression.
Perhaps because of the tension and sense of danger, she hugged my arm even more, and Ayame-san’s voluptuous breasts wrapped around my arm.
Oh, it’s cozy.
“You loaned out that much? What were you thinking…”
Of course, I already know that Mr. Ayame took out the loan.
“That’s right, it was premised on Mr. Rouvelt’s continuous support. If the sponsorship is gone, ah, all part-timers will have to be fired, and the cleaning staff will have no choice but to be fired! So please…!”
“It’s okay, Ayame-san. Even so, customers don’t drop off like before. Even if you fire at least one part-time shrine maiden, you’ll be able to manage the business well.”
Quality of life will decrease.
“That, that’s… Ha, but you don’t know what’s going to happen in the world, Mr. Rouvelt! Just like the first time our gentleman was in trouble! Another such thing…!”
After a while, Ayame-san’s grip on my arm became stronger.
Ah, the sneaky pressure… Good night!
Sexual arousal and happiness made my face a little red.
Now is the right time.
“Ayame-san! Please stay away!”
With a bit of force, I dropped Ayame-san.
“Ahhh…!”
Now, from Ayame-san’s point of view, he must have been shocked because he felt that I had fallen out of love and forcibly removed it.
It shows Ayame-san a glimmer of hope.
“I understand what Ayame said. Ending sponsorship… I’ll have to think about it some more.”
“I-really!”
I quietly avoided Ayame-san’s delighted attempt to hug my arm again.
“Huh? Lou, Mr. Roovelt?”
“That… Ayame-san. I’ll try again, so please don’t stick too hard.”
“Ah…! I’m sorry. I-Did I be so rude? Did I get offended? I’m really sorry! But please donate…!”
“No. There’s no way you’ll fall in love with Ayame-san. It’s just…”
“Just?”
When Ayame-san looked at my face with doubts.
I slightly averted my gaze so that I could see her blushing cheeks better.
“That… I’m no longer a student, I’m an adult. What Ayame-san did just now is a bit… Stimulating.”
“Yes?”
For a moment, Ayame-san didn’t understand what I meant.
But after a while, Ayame-san’s face turned slightly red.
“Huh?! Yeah? Huh? No way? For a woman like this…”
“That… Ayame-san. You don’t know yourself. Ayame-san is young and beautiful enough. Looking around you, you would believe that she is Kagura’s older sister.”
“Yes!?”
“So, no matter how urgent you are, please refrain from hugging my arm like you just did.
“Ah… That… I’m sorry, Mr. Roovelt.”
Ayame’s face turned red.
“That’s right. Rouvelt-sama is now an adult like Kagura, and he’s that… Man. I’m a little new to what I was doing just now, I had no idea. But she called me, an auntie, ah, beautiful. Thank you.”
“No. Kheum, I just said the truth.”
“Yes, actually…”
Okay, Ayame-san is also shy.
With this, you must have known enough that your beauty is valid for me.
I got up from my seat with an air of embarrassment.
“I’m not in the mood to talk any more today. First of all, I understand Ayame-san’s situation. Regarding future sponsorship, we’ll talk again tomorrow morning. Is that okay, Ayame-san?”
“Ah, yes, yes! Tomorrow… I’ll be waiting for you tomorrow, Mr. Roovelt.”
“Then I’m just…”
She nodded, bowed her head, left Yagitsune Shrine and returned home.
“Are you back, young master?”
“Yes, Rize.”
Rize welcomed me inside the mansion.
“Is that why you came with Yagitsu’s mother and daughter?”
“You said you were going to lay paving stones.
“I see. So… Did you lay the paving stones well?”
He smiled confidently at Rize’s question.
“Sure.”
I can’t wait to see what Ayame-san will look like tomorrow.
