Chapter 1185 – 1185. 15Th Day
I headed to the detached building where Shibata had emerged. The fact that he had come out made it seem like no ordinary detached building. Perhaps a miko was inside this detached building.
‘Unlike the clean exterior, it’s a mess.’
The interior of the detached building was chaotic. Broken pieces of ornaments and trash were scattered everywhere. There were also occasional bloodstains. In the corner, there was a large bed. It was clear that Shibata usually stayed here.
Looking around, I narrowed my eyes. My intuition was telling me. There was something here.
‘First, should I open all the doors here?’
The door next to the bed was the right answer. When I went inside, there was another door.
It was a steel door. There was no handle. Instead, a card key was needed to open the door. It was a state-of-the-art facility that didn’t fit with a shrine. I tapped the steel door with the back of my hand and stepped back.
‘I can’t break it? I’ll need a card key.’
I went back and started searching the detached building. It was the place Shibata was guarding. Maybe there was a card key that Shibata used.
My hunch was right.
I found a card key neatly placed in Shibata’s desk. I took the card key and approached the steel door. Beep. The steel door opened.
I went inside.
There were people. They were wearing white gowns and masks on their faces.
“Who are you… Ugh!”
I killed the ones who seemed to be researchers as soon as I saw them.
There weren’t many of them. There were only four people here. After killing all the researchers, I slowly looked around.
‘I know this is a lab. I also know what they’re researching.’
There were many specimens in one room. Severed human bodies, corpses with swollen skin.
It was clear they had been conducting human experiments.
‘Shibata must be a successful product of human experimentation.’
I looked around the lab thoroughly. There was no miko.
After leaving the lab, I moved inside the shrine. I walked slowly, wary of enemies who might pop out from anywhere.
I found a corpse. It was a corpse wearing black clothes.
‘…It’s not the guy I killed. He didn’t even come this far in the first place… The cause of death is… a cut to the neck with a knife.’
And it wasn’t a long sword like the Japanese sword I had. Judging by the wound, it was a knife-length blade.
‘Hagawa Ryoko. She’s the one who killed him.’
I went further inside. I saw a few more corpses. Like the previous corpse, they were cleanly killed. There were no signs of a fight, so it was definitely an assassination.
‘As expected, a ninja.’
I walked forward, admiring Hagawa Ryoko’s skills.
I saw a wooden door that felt somewhat elegant. I didn’t approach it rashly and stared at the door. I focused my senses. I could feel a presence inside.
‘It’s too clumsy to be an ambush.’
If the purpose was a surprise attack through an ambush, they would have completely eliminated their presence.
The corpses outside and the presence inside.
‘It seems the situation is already over. Nakagami Risa and Hagawa Ryoko did better than I thought.’
I confidently opened the wooden door.
It was a large space decorated with candles. The ceiling was high, and there was an altar in the center. On the altar was a painting with complex patterns. It was probably a symbol of the mountain god that this shrine served.
What was important was not the altar, but the three beautiful women in front of it.
Two of them were women I had already held in my arms. Nakagami Risa and Hagawa Ryoko. Their clothes, standing proudly, were stained with drops of blood. They each held a hatchet and a dagger in their hands.
There was a woman sitting between them, forced to kneel.
She was a woman who did not lose her dignity even while being threatened by the two. Wearing a miko outfit, she stared at me with deep eyes.
The mastermind of Ookaruma Village and the miko of this shrine. Kaminoyama Kagura.
“You’re here? You’re later than I thought?”
Nakagami Risa said. The corners of her mouth trembled. It felt like she was holding something back. If you looked more closely, not only her mouth but also her body was trembling slightly. I stared at her lower body, her crotch. She was wearing hot pants, and there was a stain in the center.
‘She got excited while killing people. It seems like she’s already gone a few times… And it looks like she’s about to go again now.’
Nakagami Risa seemed to be very pleased with this situation.
“…Why did you come alone?”
Hagawa Ryoko asked me.
“Mori-senpai, Fudo-senpai, and Nebata-senpai are dead. The modified humans were not ordinary.”
“……What about Kyoshiro?”
“Wada ran away.”
“…Wada ran away? Don’t lie. There’s no way Wada would do that.”
“I told you the truth. It’s your freedom to believe it or not.”
“……If Wada is safe, then it’s fine.”
I tilted my head at Hagawa Ryoko’s words. Her reaction was weaker than I had expected. I thought she would react violently, even if she didn’t attack me.
I approached them.
“This is the second time we’re meeting, right?”
The miko was still calm.
“Yes. I didn’t expect to see you again in this situation. I am Kaminoyama Kagura, the miko of the Ookaruma Shrine.”
“I’m Sung Yujin. A Joseon person.”
Hagawa Ryoko flinched. She was the one who called me a Joseon person whenever she could. When I glanced at her, she avoided my gaze.
“You’re Korean, right?”
“Isn’t Joseon the same thing?”
“Joseon is a country that has already disappeared. I have no prejudice against Korea. I hope you don’t misunderstand, Sung-nim.”
“You don’t have prejudice against people, right? Because you think everyone is equal under you.”
“……”
The miko did not deny it.
“Sung-nim. I have a question. May I ask you?”
“What is it?”
“It’s about your identity. I have thoroughly investigated the members of the Japan Festival Study Circle as much as possible. To minimize variables and control the village. Your background was ordinary. Your father is a section chief at a large company, your mother is a full-time housewife, and your younger sister is a middle school student. There was nothing strange about your upbringing either. But the Sung-nim I experienced myself… had combat power that I couldn’t believe even if you were a special agent of the Korean government. What exactly is your identity?”
It seemed she was really curious about my identity.
Well, it was understandable since my existence had completely shattered the miko’s plans.
“I’m an ordinary college student.”
“…Are you joking? That’s not a funny joke.”
“An ordinary college student who likes women.”
“……”
I took off my clothes in front of the miko and became naked.
My erect penis flaunted its existence in front of the miko’s nose. I could feel the miko’s breath on my penis. The miko’s face didn’t change, but her breath became slightly rougher.
“…You intend to violate me.”
“Since there’s a beauty like you in front of me… my penis got hard. You made my penis angry, so you have to take responsibility.”
“I have requested support from the outside. When the sun rises, the yakuza who have joined hands with me will come to the village armed.”
“So?”
“…Even if you go down the mountain right now, the yakuza will already be surrounding the mountain. There is only one way for you to return home alive.”
“What is that way?”
“To end it here. And forget what happened in this village. Nothing happened in this village. Everything you saw was a midsummer night’s dream. You and I have no relationship. We have never met.”
“Too many people died. I still see the face of Mori-senpai, who was the head of the circle…. Every time I see Mori-senpai’s empty seat, I think I’ll remember what happened today.”
I didn’t even remember Mori Masahiro’s face. All I could see now was the miko’s clean face. The thought of violating her made clear pre-cum form at the tip of my penis.
“…As an apology, I will give each of you 1 billion yen.”
1 billion yen.
Roughly 10 billion won in Korean currency.
It was an enormous amount of money.
‘Judging by how she can bet so casually… her business must be quite large. Is the Japanese government involved too?’
I looked at the two people on either side of the miko.
This world is a quest world. I wouldn’t care even if they gave me 100 trillion won, not just 10 billion. But they were different.
“Risa-senpai. What do you think?”
“Honestly, it’s a bit tempting. 1 billion is a lot. But… this woman can control the yakuza. What if she sends the yakuza to kill us later? If we die, 1 billion or whatever is meaningless.”
“I swear. The moment you accept my offer, it’s over. I will never retaliate against you.”
The miko said firmly. Her clean and calm voice made you believe her.
That way of speaking was also a kind of skill.
“Ryoko. What about you?”
I called her by her name. Hagawa Ryoko frowned and answered.
“There’s no other way. Even if we have the upper hand now… if the yakuza retaliate, there’s no answer.”
“Let’s accept the miko’s offer?”
“…You choose. You’re not ordinary.”
“Ryoko is right. You choose, Yujin. I’ll follow your decision too.”
The miko’s calm eyes wavered. One of her intentions was to induce internal strife with money. If opinions were divided, she could buy time. What the miko didn’t expect was their personalities.
Hagawa Ryoko didn’t like to step forward directly. She preferred to move behind the scenes like a ninja. That’s probably why she passed the choice to me. She also wasn’t interested in money.
Nakagami Risa wasn’t very interested in money either. What excited her was primal slaughter rather than money. She was currently infatuated with me. She would want to be with me in the future as well.
“We want safety. It’s too dangerous to accept your offer without thinking. We can’t accept your offer.”
“…I see. Are you thinking of informing the outside about what happened in the village and asking for help? I will be ruined. But you will die too. Because the yakuza will come before help arrives.”
“What if we take you hostage?”
“The yakuza aren’t stupid either. They’ll kill me and cut off the tail. Of course, they’ll take care of you too. And the yakuza will retaliate against your families as well. That’s the kind of people they are.”
“Is that a threat? Scary.”
I smiled and thrust my penis into her mouth. It was just when she was about to open her mouth to speak, so my penis went right into her mouth.
“Ugh?!”
The miko immediately pulled her head back and spat out my penis. It was short, but I clearly felt her soft lips and moist tongue.
The miko spat on the floor with a disgusted expression. My pre-cum was probably mixed in.
“Is this your choice? Fine. Let’s all go to hell together. If you thought I would beg you for my life… you’re greatly mistaken.”
“Don’t misunderstand. This is just a joke.”
I wiggled my penis. Nakagami Risa swallowed her saliva, and Hagawa Ryoko quietly glared at me.
“Since you don’t like the existing options, I have to create a new one.”
“……I’ll listen.”
“Include us in the business you’re doing.”
