Dedicated to my brother.

Prologue. Sister.

A night that was hard to sleep, it was a sweltering summer this year for the remote countryside deep in the mountains.

In the atrium, which was covered in darkness, the treetops swayed in the wind, probably because of the strong wind. Nevertheless, the air in the room with the windows open was still stagnant.

I close my eyes, hazily gazing out at the orange night light, and slowly roll over.

Suddenly, my dazed consciousness was attacked by a gust of wind, and at a distance of less than five centimeters in front of my eyes, the sleeping face of a young girl with long hair appeared; it was my sister, who was sleeping peacefully.

Why was my sister sleeping here? My consciousness, and my body, were churning with violent impulses.

Originally, my sister should have been sleeping in her own room across the hall, but at some point she came to sleep next to me… I slowly got up and sat down on the blanket; due to the sweltering heat of the past few days, my sister wasn’t covered with a blanket, and her shrunken and petite form came directly into my field of vision. The white yukata she was wearing was slightly disheveled, and her neck and thighs gave off an incredible charm under the night light.

The reason why my sister’s sleeping position winks at my heart so much is because I have always been deeply in love with her. And this is not mere brother-sister love, but the love of a close relative that clearly violates morality.

My sister, who was physically weak from a very young age due to illness, was the jewel in the family’s crown. I, in particular, had always watched with awe the growth of her frail being, six years removed from me; later, when she reached the age where she understood the fragility of her life, she spent most of her time with me, her only playmate; I did not often go to the school in the village at the foot of the mountain, and after school I would refuse all the invitations of my classmates and without hesitation dart back to the home where my sister was waiting for me. Even later, I still did this every day for the sake of her, who was unable to go to school, so I never had any friends, but I had no regrets.

As time passed and I entered puberty, I began to realize that my sister was of the opposite sex from me. At first it was only a faint feeling, but as the days passed, it became deeper and deeper… It wasn’t long before we were faced with a major change in our lives – the

The parents died unexpectedly! This event fiercely shook both of us, brother and sister, and our family, which was originally full of warmth and love, was plunged into sorrow over this sudden and tragic news. For the sake of my younger sister, who could not yet understand the situation, I managed to endure my grief and get through it. However, many unexpected things happened one after another, turning the warm home into an empty and lonely house.

However, within six months of both parents’ recent passing, I was afraid to do anything rash, but now, a year later…

My throat made a muddy sound and I swallowed the saliva that had accumulated in my mouth. The unguarded and sprawled immature limbs stimulated my brain like a fiery sprinkle. The ungodly strands glowed with heat, and the serpent of evil began to stir. Feeling sharply giddy, I eased my hand out and, with trembling fingertips, touched the cottonwood fabric. I pinched it gently and quietly rolled it upwards. Stunningly beautiful white thighs were gradually revealed in the pale orange light.

In a gradual haze of awareness, even what I was doing was lost, just moving mindlessly… no, I’m afraid I was conscious at the time, just mesmerized by looking at my sister’s delicate skin! I rolled up the hem of the white, dirt-free yukata she was wearing, and spied a small, curvy, rounded ass.

“Mmm…mmmmmm…”

Unintentionally, my sister rolled over. Alarmed, I hastily retracted my hand, but I was being paranoid.

As if seducing me, my sister spread her legs in front of my eyes, and the peaceful snorting that slightly entered my ears indicated that the action just now was just an unconscious accident. However, at the meeting point of the legs that stood up on one foot, the forbidden garden that mesmerized my mind was revealed.

My sister, who usually wears only a yukata, was not wearing panties. The bare lower half of my body pinned my eyes tightly, and the python between my legs rose high with the desire to taste the forbidden fruit.

Even in the holy books, it is written that all human beings, ancient and modern, are unable to resist this temptation. But of course, having lived only nineteen years, I could not have reached a state of complete enlightenment, so desire began to move clumsily into action.

I was on the ground, slowly approaching my prey, which probably looked like a hungry beast to the casual observer! Of course, not only was I not thinking rationally about these things, but I was already dreaming, and nothing was stopping me.

I brought my face close to her smooth lower abdomen, the soft, tender hairs shaken by my panicked snorts. My eyes slid down slightly, and there was the clear, straight slit of flesh, forming an embankment of wintry flesh that reminded me of my sister’s pouty lips. I opened my mouth gently, and a tingling scent hit my nose, knowing it was the smell of ammonia, but not feeling dirty at all. I flicked my tongue out from between my tightened lips and licked my sister’s secret spot.

“Uh…uh-huh…”

My sister gasped weakly, momentarily alarming me, but after a few seconds I figured it out.

Yes, of course my sister craves this kind of thing, otherwise, why would she be lying beside me?

I continued to tongue that innocent secret part, craving the forbidden taste.

“Mmm…ahhhh…mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…”

Perhaps it was the joy that came from the comfort, the sweet, helpless breath that escaped her mouth, the sound that drove my consciousness wild. Would it make any sense for me to maintain my sanity at this point? Isn’t it perfectly natural for two people who love and need each other to become one? This thought completely dominated my head. Once I’d gone beyond this wall, all I had to do was to let my mind run wild in the world of desire.

I slung her slender legs over my shoulder and buried my entire face in the center of the garden. Breathing hard and deep, reveling in the scent that no flower compares to, the bottom of the undulating valley, after licking the secret cleft back and forth continuously, began to get slightly wet. If that’s caused by love juice, it means that my sister is also feeling excited, right? I thought so while sucking the droplets that overflowed from her body, frequently wriggling my tongue and making obscene noises as I kept sucking on the immature petals, what I wanted was her slutty nectar.

“Aaahhh…aaaahhh…mmmmmmmmmm…”

The sweet gasp that came to my nose entered my ears like waves lapping at the shore. Panting so hard, it can’t be that she hasn’t woken up yet, right? Or maybe she’s already ….

The hot, glowing strands had risen with the power of evil. The sweating body demanded this delicate flesh more than I could ever will myself. I placed my sister’s feet silently on the blanket, my body, dominated by evil lust, covering her pure, unsullied limbs.

“I…want…to have sex…to do comfortable…things…”

With a disorganized breath, the words hovering in my head came out. The words ‘want to have sex’ were like a spell on my body and mind as I roughly pulled off my T-shirt and casually pulled down my underpants, instantly breaking free of my restraints, the beast between my thighs flared up in a rough and furious manner.

With trepidation, I, who had no experience with women at all, pressed the murder weapon close to the poor secret lips. In a certain sense, it was a kind of solemn ritual, a calm reflection that ebbed and flowed in a different sub-space than rationality. I didn’t want this moment, which I had been daydreaming about for so long, to end after a flurry of fidgeting, just when-

“Brother…brother…”

My sister, who was only making gasping noises before this, suddenly called out to me. Even though it’s come to this point, I can only pull out in a wretched panic, my sister has really come to her senses, right…my mind is in chaos.

“Umm~Umm brother…” My sister called out to me once more. Whether that voice was a dream word or half-awake, I couldn’t tell. Bending down to look at her face, her slender eyelashes were fluttering slightly. However, the big, cute, dripping eyes weren’t open, but I had a deep feeling that I was being watched… Was it because I was doing a forbidden act that I had a delusion of being victimized?

After regaining my composure, I finally found the source of the sight. The sight looked at me with embarrassment, a half-shriveled steel rod dangling ugly, and a pair of timid eyes.

It was myself, reflected in the antique mirror that I had asked my mother for in order to make self-portraits and sketches! At the very moment of realization, fear struck me that I had done such a thing! And then, what my sister said shocked me even more.

“Ahhhh, brother… brother, faster…”

Why these words came out of my sister’s mouth, I don’t know. In fact, I don’t even know for sure if she is conscious or not, but there is no way for me to respond to her….

Chapter 1: The Takagihara Family

The train shakes suddenly. Waking up from a deep sleep, I scratched my hair, which hung down in front of my eyes, and looked blankly out the window. Outside the window was a bright green meadow and a treacherous rocky mountain range. I sighed alone as I looked out over the landscape with deep emotion.

“I can’t believe I fell asleep… I guess it’s probably because I didn’t sleep last night.”

My name is Toshihiko Takakihara, and I am a novice illustrator based in Tokyo.

Some people elevate me to the status of a new young conservative painter, and I have to gladly accept those boring adjectives in order to survive in a world where strength is the key to victory.

I should be working on the cover artwork for the sequel to the critically acclaimed game software “T☆BARI.Mk II” right now, but I’m far from Tokyo right now, and I’m on my way back to my hometown of Faoetake Village in T-Prefecture, where I grew up, and which I left three years ago.

To get back to Fasuyue Village, you have to take the national railroad, change to the private railroad in the countryside, and then get on a remote local monorail, which takes about one and a half hours to get there. The fact that a railroad was built in this village, which has a population of less than 800, despite being a small village in the mountains that has no connection to tourism and has only one round-trip train a day, is something I have always found amazing since I was a child; I had heard that the original purpose of the railroad was to move timber and other supplies during the war. I had heard that the original purpose of the railroad was to dispatch lumber and other supplies during the war, but after the war was over, it was said that the trains ran many times a day in order to allow the people of the city to make purchases directly, but now it is hardly used at all. This countryside railroad, whose operation was a miracle, had its glory days.

I left my job and traveled all the way back to this barren land because of a telegram from my hometown, which simply said, ‘Kimmy is critically ill, come home immediately’. It almost cut me to the heart, and that’s why I didn’t sleep a wink last night.

For me, the only thing I couldn’t let go of was the safety of my sister, Kimmy, who was dependent on me. Of course, I couldn’t be indifferent to the notification of my sister’s critical condition, so I hurriedly apologized to the vendor and packed my bag to go back to my hometown.

Gazing out the window, lost in emotion, I was suddenly greeted by a sweet, nasal sound beside me. A young woman who had slept beyond her position so that she was leaning on my shoulder awoke.

“Did you sleep well?”

I address her. The young girl with sleepy eyes and a face fit for a feather cut nods at me.

She’s Kusshave Jasmine, a college girl…I think! Actually, I met her three hours ago at the starting station of the mountain railroad bound for Hatsugatake Village; she said she was 20 years old, and was using her college vacation to travel around on her own. When she realized that I was a local, she took advantage of the waiting time in the waiting room to chat with me and asked me to accompany her to Fao Ogak village. She looked like a bright girl who was not afraid of the world, and at first I thought to myself that this girl was really annoying, but without realizing it, I struck up a conversation with her, and when I realized it, I actually told her everything about my reasons for returning to my hometown.

“Uh, how long have I been asleep?”

“For about an hour or so, I fell asleep too…”

“Yeah, wow, you don’t look too good. When I first met you, you looked dead. Ah, I’m sorry! My sister is in the middle of a critical illness, that’s only natural…”

Jasmine’s expression clouded over, and the tone of her voice became low as if she was worried about me.

“Don’t mind me, my sister’s health has been bad since she was a child, I’ve been prepared for this for a long time, and besides, I left my sister at home alone…”

As a matter of fact, I’ve been so busy lately that I simply forgot about my sister until the telegram came. No, it’s trying to forget about my sister, whose existence, in fact, is irreplaceably important to me.

“But blood relatives can’t be severed that easily, right? I also have a younger brother, so it’s clear that Takagihara-san must have loved his sister very much…”

I was speechless as she gave me a gentle smile.

“It is better not to repress it; in any case, the mere words of a telegram are not enough to know the whole state of affairs. It may be that you will be past the danger and even restored to health by the time you get back!”

“It’s good if it is, I hope its as good as it can be…”

“That’s right, submitting to your feelings is the best way.”

The gloomy mood that had gradually grown as Fao Yakamura approached me was dissolved by her bright words. However, in a part of my heart, I still had thoughts of how to face my sister before the hospital bed.

“We’ll be arriving at the terminal soon, right? The passengers of this train, only the two of us are left from the way…”

“People in the village don’t usually go out much, and of course, foreign travelers like you are even rarer, so why on earth would you want to go to the village of Fatsugatake?”

“Yes? Ah, this…is…it’s just…after talking to you in the waiting room at Shimodaira Station, it became interesting!”

“I don’t remember saying anything that would interest a young girl…”

“I want to go off the beaten path and be alone with my thoughts…”

“Randomly hitting on me because of that?”

“Oy? Uh, that’s because…never mind, I apologize if it caused you any distress.”

“At first it did, but now I should be thanking you instead, if this hadn’t happened I don’t think I would have ever come back, that was the original plan to leave the country, so I’m in a particularly bad mood, but it’s so nice to have someone to talk to!”

“Afraid to see your sister and both parents?”

I was silenced by her sudden question; indeed, I did feel uneasy about meeting again with my sister, whom I had abandoned and who was in a critical condition, but it was another matter for both parents.

Because, both of our siblings’ parents, are long gone from this world. Both mom and dad died four years ago, the year before I left the house. As soon as I fell silent, her eyes quickly changed without the slightest hint of urging me to answer, but I could tell she was waiting for my reaction.

When I told her that both of her parents had died in an accident four years ago, she replied softly, “I’m in the same situation as you,” and slowly moved closer to me. Was it because she felt a sense of kinship with the man she met by chance who was in a similar situation to her own? In any case, a steady, silent air passed slowly between the two of them.

Soon, the two-car antique diesel train, clickety-clacking over a small stream, arrives at the village of Fa Ouyue, a poor village in the deep mountains.

“This is the village of Fatsugatake… It’s the end of the line, but this station is too small!”

Getting off the train, Jasmine looked around and said, “Not only is it small, but the Fao Ouyake Village station is a simple, unmanned station. Although there is a maintenance and repair area for the trains, it’s almost always left to the starting station at the foot of the mountain, I explained to her, and she cocked her head in thought as she listened.

“Well, but isn’t the mountain road open too? Why is there no waste line?”

“Something is better than nothing, isn’t it human nature? And ah, I don’t know about these past few years, but I’ve never heard rumors of the Hatsugatake Village Mountain Railway being poorly run before.”

“It’s not likely to be backed by some rich guy, is it?”

“Maybe, but I seem to remember it being a jointly run business in the village.”

“But it’s too dead, isn’t it?”

“The people of this village are very closed off and become unnecessarily wary at the sight of outsiders, hence the reluctance of sightseers to come. But then again, there’s nothing to attract sightseers here at all.”

It is said that the birth of Faoetake Village began as a colony of Heike warriors who survived in Tanoura, and this is a legend that has been passed down throughout Japan. Fearing the attack of the Genji clan, the martial artists lived in shame and humiliation, and at an unknown time, they built this closed village society. Even after more than 800 years, the bad habits have survived to the present day.

I had traveled far from my hometown and was now considered an outsider. In the small area of the station, we were not greeted with warmth. In this village, where no one gets off the train, there is only a small square in front of the station, and there are almost no pedestrians coming and going.

“What are you going to do now? There are no inns in this village where you can stay.”

Also, we were on the last train back and the next one wasn’t until tomorrow morning. Not only that, there weren’t even any buses or taxis, and the nearest B&B was a three-hour walk up the mountain.

“No way! What a headache!”

However, she said it in a way that didn’t hurt her at all, and although I felt sorry for not explaining the situation in the village more carefully to her, I didn’t have the mood to take care of her because I was in a hurry to get back to my sister, who was critically ill, so in any case, let’s ask her if she would like to come to my house.

Jasmine blossomed into a smile, followed by a deep frown.

“But is that okay? You’re going to see your critically ill sister, right? It must be inconvenient if you bring a stranger home, right?”

Fair enough, but there’s no other way at this point, and I don’t think helping people has anything to do with what happened to my sister.

“I don’t mind, my sister will surely sympathize, she is a girl a thousand times gentler than the others. “

We threw our tickets into a tin can tied to a post, passed through the deserted ticket gates, and started on our way. It was a twenty-minute walk up the hill from the station to my house, and fortunately Flicka was wearing low-heeled penny loafers, with the result that it took less than ten minutes before we saw the wall of our old house, though we still had to walk three minutes from the wall to the door.

After walking to the front door, she made a strange noise and asked me.

“Yes? This isn’t really your old home, is it? What a big house! So you’re the young master here…”

“It’s not that, it’s just a big old house!”

The house is big, but I never thought I was some kind of young lord. In this village where land is worthless, families with large yards abound, and my old house is just a little bit conspicuous among them.

This home that I have spent nineteen years with has endless memories and fondness, but I have reasons why I must leave it all behind.

Jasmine looked at me, who stood in front of the door, with a questioning wink.

“What’s wrong? Hurry up and go see your sister!”

“I know, but a man who suddenly left without saying goodbye one day, who had been out on the prowl for three years, suddenly came running home…”

“This is your home, isn’t it? You got the telegram too, wouldn’t it be nice to say ‘I’m home’?”

Yes, I did receive the telegram, I should not be a guest here, the only question is, who knew my address in Tokyo? I didn’t inform them myself. Besides, I’ve never contacted this place since I left home.

“Hey, hey, don’t hesitate, go inside, aren’t you worried about your sister? What a rush!”

Before she could finish her sentence, she was knocking on the door and yelling.

“Excuse me! Is anybody there? Anyone?”

No one answered the door inside, she continued to knock several times without dying, and finally a low man’s voice came.

“Which one is it?”

“Your son is back, may I please open the door?”

As soon as Flicka finished speaking, there was the sound of a bolt being pulled. When the door opened, a tall and robust male stepped out. This serious-looking man named Hasegawa Tatsuzou was the driver who lived in the house before I was born.

Jasmine stepped back and pushed against my back. I twisted my body a little to hide my embarrassment, and Hasegawa wordlessly surveyed us with solemn eyes, to say something before I did.

“That…Mr. Hasegawa, I’m Toshihiko, have you forgotten me?”

“Didn’t forget!”

The answer was so cold that I couldn’t help but cower, almost like a scolded child. I felt embarrassed and aggravated, and he looked at me with an icy stare as if he had read my mind.

“What’s the matter with you?”

Dumbfounded, I could only stare at the indifferent man.

“Wait a minute! He came back to see his sister because she’s critically ill, and you’re asking him what he’s up to?”

After glancing at the interjecting Jasmine, Hasegawa once again stared at me coldly.

“Ms. Chinami, critically ill?”

“Isn’t it? I received the telegram ‘Gumi is critically ill come home immediately’ so I rushed back immediately…”

“No such thing!” 　”But the telegram did say Shizuko’s aunt’s name.” 　Shizuko was my aunt, who married into the Kanda family in Kobe, but the family moved back home due to the Great Hanshin Earthquake. The fact that I would leave my sister behind and leave home had something to do with the fact that I was slightly relieved that my aunt would be moving her family back.

“Anyway, please let me meet with Chinami, I’ll go back in peace when I see she’s okay.”

I refused to stop there, but Hasegawa’s expression was not at all moved.

“I thought you didn’t want this family anymore? And you don’t want Ms. Kimi either, do you? Besides, do you know how the person you abandoned feels? Have you ever thought about how Gumi-san is living these days?”

“Well…I certainly thought about it!”

Can this man understand the pain of having to leave my home without my sister? Does he think I haven’t felt any remorse for the past three years? But…

“So, why did you stir up the trauma of Ms. Chinami’s aliyah once again?” That’s the blind spot, what, exactly, did I run away from home for? He made me remember again-

“Go back to your world, it’s better for everyone that way!”

I was speechless, my whole body had lost its strength and I could hardly stand.

“Old man! What the hell do you want? Who are you in this family?”

Jasmine raised her voice and intervened us again, in a provocative-like tone that made Hasegawa’s eyes sharpen.

“I, the servant of this house!”

“Servants? Ha! Did you say servant? Why would the rightful heir of this family listen to the lectures of a servant!?”

Her personality seems to be quite tough and she looks like she’s planning to have a big fight as if she’s pissed off. Her opponent, on the other hand, was chillingly calm in contrast.

“So what do you, then, have to do with this family?”

The eloquent Jasmine couldn’t say anything; she had no ties to the family in the first place.

“You, don’t mind me, hurry up and let him go see his sister! It doesn’t matter if we can only see her safe and sound from a distance!”

The descending tones of anger would not escape Hasegawa’s ears, who seemed to have stopped taking her seriously. I thought to myself that I must at least aid Jasmine verbally, and pondered the proper excuse, in case I could not get inside the home, I must either brazenly disturb someone else’s home, or stride to a neighboring village.

“She…she’s my fiancée!!!”

I made it up as I went along, I had to say that in order to give weight to what she said, because, Hasegawa knew everything about the family from before, and normal lies wouldn’t be able to fool him. Since that was the case, the most straightforward way was to lie about the fact that she was going to be a family member, and Jasmine showed her surprise for a split second, but immediately took the opportunity to go along with what I was saying.

“I’m Jasmine Kusshave, but in three months, I’ll be Jasmine Takagihara…”

As if trying to see through our tricks, Hasegawa gazed at us cautiously. However, there was really no way back for us.

“Mr. Hasegawa, it’s all right if you don’t know, but I did receive the telegram, and even if there’s a mistake somewhere, or if it’s someone’s mischief, it doesn’t matter, it always comes down to this, I’ve brought her here, and won’t you even allow us to stay until tomorrow morning?”

“How nee? Will it bother you in any way if we go into the house?”

“I know, please come in!”

It seems that it was Jasmine’s words that made him change his mind, and no matter who it is, no one wants to be caught in the crossfire, right? There was nothing Hasegawa could do but agree to let us go inside.

Jasmine and I were led to a room in the premises in front of the lobby, a large four-and-a-half tatami-mat room used for the reception of visitors in general; the premises itself was like a large separate entrance hall, and on either side of the corridor connecting it to the lobby there were rooms for some of the servants.

Jasmine and I were more or less soothed mentally by the fact that my sister’s critical illness had not been positively confirmed. Upon entering, she began to sigh long and hard with emotion.

“That’s pretty grand, this building alone that connects to the lobby is the size of an entire metropolitan house, isn’t it? And it’s also unique in style!”

“I heard from my elders in the past that my family’s ancestors were Heike vassals who were defeated in the battle of Tanoura, and that they landed here eight hundred years ago!”

“A retainer of the Heike family? Eight hundred years? Wow, I can’t imagine!”

“I heard that until the early Meiji era, my family was the mayor of the village for generations, but then it was decided by vote, so now it’s just an empty shell! But when people from the village visit us, they still honor us because of our old relationship… It’s a wonderful thing, isn’t it?”

“You say that like you don’t care, it’s not easy to find a home with a maid nowadays, it’s like a dream!”

Dreamlike, I cried out in my heart. The days when I lived with my father, Ant, and Chinami were indeed like a dream, but the death of both my parents made the dreamlike days of Chinami and I a nightmare in an instant. I run away, but the nightmare still haunts me, at least for now.

“Have you gotten in a bad mood? Maybe what I said was too presumptuous!”

“Ah…no, it’s not…by the way, I was pushed to say that kind of thing just now, so don’t mind…”

“The fiancée thing? It’s okay, and it’s so much easier to do things this way… It was a shock, but it would be terrible if it was revealed!”

“That’s true, but if you’re going to pretend, keep pretending, it’s not like you’re going to stay long anyway, in the meantime I think it’s better to just muddle through. Excuse me, can you be my fiancée for a while? Of course I don’t mean to eat your tofu, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to, is that okay?”

My proposal caused a complicated look to appear on her face, we just met 4 hours ago, even if it was an act, it was too much to ask her to be my fiancée, but I couldn’t think of any other good way.

“Well, but, I have conditions…”

Her condition was that she should address each other as “Toshihiko” and “Jasmine”, which I of course agreed to immediately, and then asked her if she had any other conditions.

“Nope, that’s it, the contract is established, Jun~hikari~”

“Hey, hey, is that the only condition?”

I was a bit surprised when I guessed that there would be a lot of harsh conditions, so I reconfirmed. Is it possible to agree to something like being someone’s fiancée so lightly?

“Takakihara-san seems to be a very ethical person, so he won’t ask me to take a bath together or sleep together or anything like that, right? Then, let’s decide the details of the marriage contract quickly, shall we?”

“Yes, yes, according to what you just said, we’re getting married in three months right? Is there anything else that needs to be confirmed?”

“Well…like how we met in the beginning, and what we said when we proposed, etc.”

As Jasmine spoke and began to conceptualize the details of the fake engagement, I couldn’t help but be attracted to her, observing with interest her impressive appearance with her medium-length feathered haircut and lavender blouse. She exuded a sense of rhythmic good taste that was not at odds with the old-fashioned Fao Yakumura or the Takagihara family, but was not at odds with them. It’s her personality that makes her so special, as well as her ability to express herself while blending in with her surroundings as if nothing were wrong!

“That’s about it, hey! Are you listening?”

“Huh? Yes, yes…”

“What’s wrong with looking at people like that? Are you thinking about something you shouldn’t be thinking about?”

“Nosy!”

I look at her one more time and she twists her body. An even, slightly shy sway, her cheeks flushed and her lips, coated in light lipstick, quivered gently.

“But, your eyes are too serious, can you stop tingling at me, hey Toshihiko, I’ll… I won’t be able to stand it if you look at me like that!”

A slightly pouty expression, vaguely radiating shy sensuality, and then, finally…

“Ahhhh! I can’t! My feet are paralyzed!”

Probably not used to sitting on my knees and not able to circulate blood to my feet.

“It’s okay that you don’t have to sit on your knees.”

“Because, it’s my first time here, I get nervous…”

“Wow, even you get nervous, huh?”

“It’s too much! Am I that rude?”

Jasmine laughed and pretended to be angry, and with that, my demeanor eased, and at some point, the atmosphere between us had become as congenial as that of real lovers.

At that moment, the paper door leading to the corridor was pulled open with a crash, and a lovely young girl appeared. For a moment, my eyes glazed over, but upon closer inspection, I realized that she was my sister’s cousin, named Kanda Wang, who looked just like my sister.

“Toshihiko…sir? It’s been a long time!”

“Ah, it’s only been a few years since I’ve seen you, you’ve grown so big, I thought I recognized the wrong person!”

To cover up the embarrassment of thinking of her as a sister, I had to give her a couple of compliments and she got shy.

“Toshihiko-san feels like an actor in a serial too!”

“Yeah? I’m just a no-name illustrator!”

“So…can I come in?”

I nodded and invited her inside. Komoro, dressed in a cute light pink jumpsuit, asked me who she was after she gave Jasmine-san a light curtsy.

Jasmine and I looked at each other and she gave me mutual confirmation.

“Her name is Jasmine Scent, and she’s my fiancée!”

“I’m Jasmine, please tell me more!”

Jasmine smiled at her affectionately, while Komoro shyly returned the gesture.

“Let me introduce, she’s my cousin Kanda Wang, uh, I remember you’re 15, Kokusan, right…?”

“People are 16 years old in their first year of high school! She’s old enough to be legally married!”

“Yes? Sorry, sorry, but the law is about to be amended, and the marriage age will change then. “

“It’s okay now!”

Xiaowang sulked with her beak, it’s common for a girl in puberty to want to get married, so why not be happy about it?

“So, Hope, have you found someone you want to marry?”

“Oi? This… uh, um…”

The young girl was so ashamed that her speech became incoherent. She stole a glance at me, the expression of anxiety is very loveable, she always makes me even think of my own sister.

“By the way, Kotobuki, how’s Gumi doing these days?”

“Ginami? Seems to be okay, right? I’m not really sure, since she’s staying at the Buikan now…”

“The Other House? Why? Surely she’s still very sick, isn’t she?”

The soup shook in my chest again, when an elegant voice came from the hallway.

“Young Master Junyan, you’re back…”

The speaker knelt down in the hallway and lowered his eyes to look at us.

This woman with a steady aura… no, I should say melancholic feeling, is the daughter of the chief steward who followed my parents in their suicide after they passed away, Takano Sumie. Her mother died of an illness when she was a child, and she came to live with her father, who was the chief steward of the Takagi family, in the house five years ago. She was not only a childhood playmate, but also a big sister to me and Kimi.

At that time, she decided to go to nursing school in Nagoya, and I still remember vividly what happened when she told us that she was going to live there. The young Kimi cried non-stop and hugged Sumie and me tightly, asking us not to leave. The last time I saw Sumie was at her father’s funeral. The shock of his suicide did not break her, and she said that she would continue to work hard to become a good nurse.

Sumie, who had been through all of this, was now dressed in simple maid’s clothing and sat on her knees with all due respect.

“I’m back…”

“Then, I’ll take you to Gumi-sama’s place!”

“Ah, okay…so, Jasmine…”

As soon as I opened my mouth, Sumie immediately said, “Because it’s a patient, please ask young master Toshihiko to go alone!”

“Yeah, I’ll just wait here!”

“Your room is also ready, please wait there…”

Sumie asked Kotobuki to lead Jasmine, then asked me to follow her out of the room.

Hasegawa said that Chinami’s illness didn’t matter, so if that’s true, what was the telegram about? I asked Sumie in the hallway, and she cocked her head, telling me she wasn’t sure. Maybe I was being paranoid, I always thought she was hiding something.

“Yes? The driver, Mr. Hasegawa, also said he didn’t know…”

“Mr. Hasegawa is now the chief administrator here…”

Sumie’s expression became somber, perhaps because Hasegawa’s promotion was indirectly caused by his father’s suicide. I didn’t know how to respond, and at the same time, I was displeased with her overly humble wording; she had always spoken in a dignified manner since she was a child, but the way she did it now, she gave off the impression of being out of touch, and I only felt bored to listen to her. The Sumie in my memories wouldn’t call me young master Toshihiko, and it was possible to talk openly and honestly.

“That, don’t call me ‘young master’, it’s awkward! Just call me Junyan like before.”

“It is only natural for servants to honor their masters, and if it is your order, I will follow it, but if it is in my personal opinion…”

Orders? That’s a bit too petty, isn’t it? I couldn’t help but be confused. There was a gap between me and Sumie, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time, that I couldn’t understand. However, her stubborn personality is exactly like her deceased father.

“Well, I don’t want to order you around, so whatever!”

“Yes. Also, please call me Sumie too!”

“No, to me you’re ‘Sister Chengjiang’ and you’re not a slave.”

She was silent, her expression became more and more complicated, was she dissatisfied with what I said? I felt the atmosphere stiffen and hurriedly changed the topic. “Uh, when did Sumie-san come back?”

“I quit my job at the hospital a year ago and moved back here to take up a position as a maid, mainly in charge of household chores as well as taking care of Ms. Chinami.”

“In that case, how is Gumi’s condition? Didn’t you say she was staying at the Bekka?”

“She was already ill and is now on and off. The place where she currently lives is well-equipped and her condition is relatively stable, but she must still be careful at all times.”

“I see, but living too far away is also worrisome, what if a situation should arise?”

“There’s a call bell that connects there to my room, and I check on her every four hours, so you can rest easy!”

Every four hours? It was as if she didn’t take it seriously, but it was hard labor work, and Sumie had to do household chores and needed her own personal time, right? Not to mention, she paid for her own sleep.

“I don’t know what the best thing to say is, anyway, thank you for what you did…”

“Thank you, Master Toshihiko!”

With that, we made our way wordlessly to the atrium where Chinami’s place was located.

Although it is called an “atrium,” my garden is not a typical landscape garden; there are of course private houses and warehouses, as well as forests and hills, and it has a much larger area than a typical residential park. No matter the size of the house or the scale of the garden, it can be said that you can only find it in the mountains far away from the city. As Jasmine said, it is hard to find this kind of house in Japan nowadays.

The view of the courtyard, not much changed from when I left home, was something I was used to seeing since I was a child, and it was a place to play with my frail sister. At that time, we siblings played with flowers, trees, breeze and sunshine, and lived a carefree and happy life together with our parents.

From that day, yes, from the very day my parents died, my sister and I, and the family, were enclosed in a distorted time and space, and we became restless, anxious, irritable, surrounded and eroded by layers of panic.

That situation lasted for nearly a year, and that summer night, I finally couldn’t stand it any longer and laid my hands on Chinami. Even though I hadn’t gone beyond my last line of defense, the glimpse I caught of myself in the mirror drove me into an abyss of horror, and I ran away from home.

It’s not coming back, the old happy days, never again.

There’s no coming back. This family, I can never come back.

“Young Master Junyan, if you’ll excuse me here, please come in!”

Before the Buikan, Sumie said to me.

“If anything happens, please ring the call bell and I’ll be right over!”

I looked at Chengjiang’s other house behind me, a building that was no match for the main building in size or shape, plain and gray, full of the obscurity of illness. It was said that my great-grandfather had originally built it as a study hall, but it only left me with the impression of an isolation hut; in fact, my mother had fought her illness here for more than six years, and at that time I was so worried about my mother that I used to sneak here to see her, and my mother’s agonizing cries of pain and my father’s encouraging words would always be heard in the Bekan.

Soon after my mother got well, and when I returned home, I always felt that something was wrong, that in my mind, my sickly mother and my healthy mother, were not necessarily the same person. It’s funny, but I thought the difference was too great, could it be, that there were two of my mothers? I even thought so, and as a result, I did not mention this doubt to both my parents, because I was afraid, afraid that my mom…happiness…was lost….

“Young Master Toshihiko?”

“Huh? Ah… uh, I got it, thanks!”

After watching Sumie leave, I entered the Buikan in order to meet my sister.

As I looked around the room that my mother had also used, a young girl rose from her bed.

That’s my sister Kimmy, who I haven’t seen in three years.

As soon as I saw my sister, it was as if an electric current raced through my back, the temperature in my body skyrocketed, my heart was compressed, my brain almost burned, my central nerves were paralyzed, the view in front of my eyes lurched, my body broke out in a cold sweat, I had intense ringing in my ears and a headache, my throat burned, my lips and tongue were so dry I couldn’t squeeze out a single drop of saliva if I tried to moisten them. I fought for my life, wringing out a hint of hissing holes.

But in reality I only moved my lips slightly, not to mention the sound, even breath could not be exhaled. Despite this, the girl slowly turned to me in surprise, and her helpless expression instantly changed to one of amazement and then stillness. Then, as if in slow motion, and like ice melting into water, her expression gradually and subtly changed.

“Brother!?”

A sentence mixed with helplessness and harboring an outburst of emotion hit me straight in the head. The blood in my entire body flowed against the current, and only Chinami’s silhouette surfaced starkly in my hazy vision as my tear ducts were liberated.

“Brother…brother…brother is back!”

I, who had no talent, was almost on the verge of fainting, convulsing my body, unable to act according to my consciousness, but could only gaze at Chinami and gaze at her voice.

Then, I couldn’t support my body and was about to fall forward. Almost at the same time, Chinami, with her long hair flowing, flew into my arms.

“Brother! Brother! Brother!”

Sobbing uncontrollably, Chin Mei snuggled close to me, and I hugged her slender body. During these three years, Chin Mei has indeed grown up a lot, and there are a number of differences from what I remember, but the person in my wrist is indeed my sister Chin Mei, my favorite sister.

I had as much as poured out the thoughts that had built up in my chest and whispered my sister’s name.

“Kimmy…”

“It’s my brother’s voice, it’s my brother’s scent, it’s really my brother!”

Kagami, who was hugging me tightly, confirmed my presence with her whole body, and her sweet scent stimulated my nostrils. From her tightly-packed body, the burning body heat and intense heartbeat flowed into me like a flood, Kagami must have felt my body heat and heartbeat as well!

Between us, there was nothing but a shirt and a thin bathrobe. The soft texture of the developing body was squeezed into a ball by my chest. I felt the small, firm protrusion at the top, and the thoughts that had been suppressed since that summer night turned into an intense dizziness that came over me. I let the mountain of passion hit me, and hugged Chinami as hard as I could.

“You’re back, brother… Kimmy was worried… brother, you never came back after you went to the mountains…”

“Did you find Dad and Mom? You went looking for them, didn’t you?”

“Wh, what? What are you talking about?”

“Brother, I’m sorry, Qin Mei’s health is not good, not quite able to go outside, so I wasn’t able to accompany you to dad ant…”

Is her memory confused? Or…a cold sweat broke out on my back.

“What’s wrong? Are you sick too? You don’t look so good, you don’t think Ginmi infected you, do you?”

“No, no, I’m fine, it doesn’t matter!”

“That’s good, Gumi really doesn’t know what to do if brother gets sick too.”

“Don’t worry, you need to recuperate and get well soon!”

“Well, Gumi will recover her health as soon as possible and join her brother again… cough, cough!”

My sister started coughing and wasn’t able to finish her sentence… what was she doing with me? Kind of wanting to know and not wanting to know, kind of understanding and not quite understanding. I thought about all this while trying to call Sumie, but she seemed fine again.

Compared to being terminally ill, something of this magnitude has been a family affair since childhood.

“Anyway, it’s great that you’re healthier than I expected, but take care of yourself, I have to go!”

“Niinii, don’t leave Chinami alone again…”

Kimi pleaded with me as I walked out of the room, and I could only nod silently.

It was true that my sister was not in a critical state, and I was becoming more and more concerned about the telegram, assuming that it was a deliberate prank by someone, so who was it? None of my friends in Tokyo knew about my past, and neither my family nor my neighbors in the village could have known where I lived, so in that case, who was it? And for what purpose?

Perhaps because of the peace of mind, I began to think about the telegram in a borderline way. Unintentionally, I realized that Hasegawa was in my way, looking down on me with the cold eyes of a hell-bringer.

“You’ve accomplished your goal by seeing that Ms. Chinami is fine?”

There was no tone of voice, as if he wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible. In fact, I have no intention of staying here for long, but why does this man treat me like a plague? He was a good and silent man in his chauffeur days, and something must have happened here during my absence!

“Sort of, where’s Shizuko?”

“She’s gone out and won’t be back for a while!”

The sender of the telegram was Shizuko’s aunt, and I was expecting to find some clues from her, but she was out of the picture.

“Anyway, dinner is ready, so please go to the dining room!”

A fussy attitude. I shrugged and headed down the hall once more.

Chapter 2: Jasmine

When I arrived at the restaurant, Jasmine was already there waiting for me.

“Toshihiko, why are you so slow?”

“Well…there’s been a slight delay, why don’t you go in?”

“Because it’s hard to be alone. Just now, Kotobuki asked me a bunch of things too, so I guess I’m not wearing a bang…”

I’m getting a little anxious, I don’t know how I’m going to face Hasegawa if the story about Jasmine being a fake fiancée wears off. Anyway, let’s go to the restaurant first.

Inside the room, which was about the size of twenty tatami mats, sat his uncle, Yasuyuki Kanda, and his two children, brother and sister, Shingo and Komoro. Sumie traveled between the kitchen and the dining room, preparing dinner in silence.

As soon as he stepped inside, his uncle spoke first.

“Yo, Toshihiko, it’s been a long time, looks like you’re doing well!”

“It’s been a long time, and thanks to you, I’m doing okay, and everyone’s fit as a fiddle!”

“It’s ok ok, my son and daughter are very fit and my little brother is even fitter, hahaha!”

As if satisfied with the cheap joke he had made, his uncle began to grin widely. Of course, he was the only one who could laugh, and Jasmine even wore a visibly disgusted expression.

“But who sent the telegram? And wrote that Chinami was critically ill?”

“Kimmy is critically ill? There’s a limit to what you can joke about. I don’t know. Does anyone know? Shingo? Kotobuki?”

The Kanda siblings said in unison that they didn’t know, so presumably it really was a prank, right?

“Yes? However, the sender’s name is written as Shizuko’s aunt’s name…”

“She’s not here today, she won’t be back tonight, so you can ask her directly when she gets back!”

I wondered in my mind as I sat down at the table and Jasmine sat next to me.

“Never mind that, I heard you returned in triumph with your fiancée today, right? This is Ms. Jasmine, isn’t it? She’s a real beauty, not bad, Toshihiko, you’re really something!”

As I introduced Jasmine Fragrance and explained the recent situation, my uncle was similarly smiling, occasionally interjecting a boring joke, and enjoying himself all by himself. Contrary to the cheerful Uncle Kang Zhi, the atmosphere at the table was getting more and more awkward.

Not only was he middle-aged, but his uncle, who had already begun to age, had the same personality as his obscenely fat face, and I had never met anyone who could make everyone as unhappy as he could.

“But yeah, your job is going well again, and you’ve got a beautiful fiancée, and I don’t know why, but it paid off for you to run away from home!”

Which pot is not a pot. Looking at me who didn’t say a word, Hope scowled and interjected.

“Dad, it’s almost time for dinner!”

Komoro and Kimi were the same age, and they looked alike from a young age. Before I left home, when she was not yet old enough, she would come to play whenever school was closed. Unlike Kimi, she was always full of energy, and would often go with me to sketch landscapes and doodle on her own.

Shingo, sitting next to him, should be quite old already. Contrary to my family, the Kanda family seemed like the older brother was more thoughtful than the younger sister, and his metal-framed glasses and the sharp jaw he inherited from his mother gave him the impression of being nervous. He didn’t say a word, only kept glancing around from the corner of his eye, as if he was thinking about something.

“Dad, it’s time to eat! Brother Jun, no, Mr. Toshihiko and the others must be hungry too…”

“Ah, it’s my fault, I’m sorry, let’s eat! Don’t be polite, try to eat as much as you can, hey, Sumie, bring out more dishes!”

Sumie’s home cooking was extremely delicious, but once we saw my uncle’s face, Jasmine and I didn’t have much of an appetite.

“What’s wrong? Is Sumie’s cooking not to your liking?”

“No, it’s very tasty!” 　”Then eat more, anyway, you’re going to enjoy yourself tonight, aren’t you!”

Enjoy what? I regretted it as soon as it came out of my mouth, asking the question was nothing more than adding fuel to the fire, as can easily be imagined. Needless to say, my uncle put on a full, nasty grin and began to prattle on.

“When it comes to enjoyment in the middle of nowhere, there’s only one thing to do, of course, and I don’t need to tell you that it’s snogging! Wow, where did you learn that phrase? The terms young people are saying these days are really getting more and more interesting!”

“Uncle!”

“What’s there to be ashamed of? You’re married, it’s normal to do this kind of thing, right? Jasmine!”

Jasmine ignores him and he actually asks the more embarrassing question.

“By the way, what position do you guys usually like to do things in?”

“Wouldn’t it be embarrassing to say something like that in front of Jingu and Kotobuki? It’s rude to Jasmine too, isn’t it!”

“Do you want to say that I am sexually harassing? You don’t have to worry about these two kids of mine, they’re not kids anymore, and besides, isn’t it popular for young people in the city to have any kind of aided intercourse nowadays? It’s long since entered the era of free sex; how many men did Jasmine-chan sleep with before she met Junyan?”

My uncle was still grinning lewdly, in a provocative manner. My fists clenched unconsciously under the dining room table when Jasmine’s hand covered it.

“I’ve…three, slept with three men, and I wasn’t going to hide it in the first place, so what you think of me is your freedom.”

Her forced statement made me stiffen in shock.

“Wahaha! What a good honest girl, fantastic fantastic. Toshihiko, you won’t be able to find this kind of woman, let alone in three months, I’ll raise my glass to bless you now!”

Uncle grinned pleasantly. The sight of his grin gave me goosebumps and made me feel uncomfortable. To be honest, I wanted to run out of the house at once; now that I had confirmed that my sister was fine, and considering that I had falsely claimed Jasmine as my fiancée, there was no point in staying here any longer; moreover, I could not tolerate Uncle’s indecent and shameless words, and I even seriously considered whether I should simply take Jasmine and walk her to the neighboring village, but the reason why I didn’t do so was because of the antagonistic stance she had resolutely adopted towards Uncle, and since I had allowed her to get involved in this mess, I was obliged to take care of her. into this mess, it was my duty to look after her. At least until we leave together in the morning, I will absolutely protect her completely.

The delicious dishes made by Sumie were sadly forced to be tasteless, and finally the time for dinner came to an end.

“Toshiko, this is your home, you can stay as long as you like, stretch out your big stick and fuck Jasmine hard tonight, hahaha!”

Without forgetting to make another dirty joke at the end, my uncle walked out of the restaurant. Immediately after that, the Kanda siblings also stood up from their chairs, and Komoro looked at me as if he had something to say.

“Uh, Toshihiko-san, that…next, next time please teach me how to draw…”

“Ah, of course!”

“Wow, thanks!”

Beside the pleasantly smiling Komoro, the taut-faced Jingo spoke in a small voice.

“Lookout, let’s go, it’s time to use your energy!”

“Um… well, Toshihiko-san, Jasmine-san, I’ll be off!”

After the twisted siblings left, Sumie said to us.

“The room for the two of you, the one that led Ms. Jasmine forward just now.”

“Oi? Are we in the same room?”

“Yes, it is that one between my jackets. Mr. Konnichiwa instructed that that room would be most suitable.”

Damn Uncle Konnichiwa! I cursed in my mind. The room between my jacket is used to receive newlywed guests.

“Also, he said that the quilt was only one…”

“It’s really too…”

I was dumbfounded by my uncle’s well thought out and poorly thought out plan. He seemed to want me to bond with Jasmine no matter what, and I glanced to my side only to get an unexpected answer.

“I don’t care…”

Wait, but I care, I don’t know what she thinks, but having everything played out by my uncle makes me quite resistant. But then again, when I think of that summer night, I don’t want to go back to the room I used to live in and sleep alone.

After being confused for a while, I decided that for the sake of Jasmine, who had to stay at the home of a stranger, it was better to stay with her for the time being, and also, after a long trip, I was tired and wanted to take an early rest.

Politely declining Sumie’s lead, I left with Jasmine-hyang. On the way towards my children, Jasmine stole frequent glances at my face. From my standpoint, what happened to my uncle made me feel inferior, and frankly, I really don’t know how to face this.

“Toshihiko…uh, that…would you…would you look down on me?”

It was she who couldn’t help but speak first.

“How could I possibly look down on you? Quite the contrary, Uncle Kang Zhi spoke so excessively, and you didn’t budge a step. There’s no way anyone else would have had the courage to take that resolute attitude!”

What I say is true, and it doesn’t matter what happened in the past! Moreover, although we had known each other for less than a few hours, I thought that she was not a girl who would blandly say that kind of thing in front of others, and her spirit of posing a confrontation with her uncle won me over.

“One might even say I respect you. This is the place where I am between…”

In the eight tatami-mat-sized room, as Sumie said, there was only one quilt. We arranged our luggage appropriately and changed into the prepared yukata with our backs to each other, and wearing the loose yukata made us feel more relaxed. It should be, but in reality, even though I wanted to relax internally, I was all wrong instead.

“What’s wrong with you? Take it easy!”

“You’re the one, like you’re nervous.”

“Why am I nervous?”

“How would I know? But it just seems so intense.”

“What’s wrong with that? That, what are you going to do tonight? Ah, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mean it like that. “

“I know, you’re not that kind of man.”

The soft whisper seemed to hold some kind of connotation. I was more or less concerned about it, but it would be awkward to pursue it, so it was better to let it go. Seeing her thoughtful expression, I could only remain silent.

There was a stony silence, an atmosphere that didn’t match my jacket at all. Though the very fact that we, a pseudo-fiancé couple, are staying in this room is strange in itself.

It was just that I hadn’t even realized that I would be this idle after dinner. My uncle’s teasing crossed my mind and I mentally shook my head no at him.

It was only fair to say something, but, this time, it was Jasmine who spoke first again.

“Toshiko, want to go for a walk? Take a walk in the atrium and change your mood!”

“Ah, yes, of course, yes!”

After a fretful hitch, she finally regained her usual smile, and we stepped out of the atrium from the terrace and wandered at an easy pace through the garden under the face of the setting sun.

“This courtyard is so big, I’m so envious!”

“The size of the yard is not at all unusual here, and the surrounding mountains and fields all look like their own yards.”

“That’s why it’s even more enviable!”

“Yeah? I’ve lived in Tokyo for three years, and I’ve always felt more accustomed to living there than here, probably because it suits my personality better. Of course, the drinking water is much worse!”

At the end of the atrium, there was a large old warehouse building, and we turned back in front of it.

“As expected of a family with a long history, even the warehouse is so big, it can’t be a treasure trove inside, right?”

“Are you kidding me, daydreaming college girls all day, you watch too much TV.”

“Aye~ That’s too much, talking about me like that!”

Jasmine pouted slightly, but didn’t seem to be really angry, and immediately giggled at me again. She’s probably trying to sweep away the unpleasantness from dinner.

“But I still can’t understand why you left this place behind and ran off to Tokyo…”

Can’t understand? Yes, nobody understands, but I’m not very human in a sense. No, it’s not just me, it’s the people in this family, it’s the people in this village, I think everybody’s very human.

“I, ah, have been a bit different from others from before… I’ve told you about the death of both my parents, right? In fact, my dead mother has two completely different images in my mind…”

I think of my mother’s figure and my vacant eyes look away.

After giving birth to me, my mother was often bedridden, and since her condition never improved, even I, as her son, was seldom by her side. My father took care of my mother, and I was mostly taken on excursions by my father, Mr. Takano and Mr. Hasegawa in Sumie, so my memories of both my parents are quite vague, and I have almost no recollection of what happened before the first or second grade of elementary school, because I never even had a family photo taken.

However, after giving birth to my younger sister, Kimi, the situation changed drastically. My mother regained her health and took Kimi and me for walks every day, and as if we were trying to fill the gaps in parent-child communication in the past, we talked about everything between mother and son, and the family wholeheartedly cherished my younger sister, who had become ill as if she were a substitute for my mother.

Based on the affinity of being a fellow sufferer, I guess, I ranted and raved a lot. I’ve never said anything like that to anyone before. Jasmine also did not say a word, silently listening.

As we talked and strolled aimlessly, we came to the front of the Buikan at some point.

“What is this place?”

“It’s the Other House, where my mother used to convalesce when she wasn’t well. Now…the one who is recuperating is the sister…”

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a peculiar sound was heard from the direction of the other house. When I pricked up my ears, sounds that sounded like gasps and whispers came out of the house intermittently.

“What’s that sound? Ginmi? Is that Ginmi?”

“Oi?”

“It can’t be wrong that it’s Kimmy, is she moaning?”

I wanted to check the situation inside the private house, so I approached the door. At that moment, Hasegawa, who I hadn’t seen earlier, was in front of me.

“Mr. Hasegawa, you’re just in time, Gumi seems to be moaning…”

“You know that, don’t you? We put Sumie in charge of Ms. Chinami’s condition!”

“What a thing to say! Hurry up and let me in!”

“As you know, we are medically well-prepared, and there is no room for outsiders to intervene.”

Hasegawa was like a huge rocky mountain in front of me. This time, without Jasmine’s help, I fully realized the feeling of a frog being stared at by a poisonous snake. After staring at each other for a while, perhaps Sumie was inside healing Kotomi! I didn’t hear any more sounds.

“Go to your room!”

Hasegawa demanded it in a stern tone, and I had no choice but to comply.

Back in the guest room, Jasmine looked at me apologetically.

“That, I’m sorry about earlier, you were in front of the Bujinkan, I couldn’t help it…”

“No, he’s right, I can’t help Kimmy at all as an amateur.”

“No such thing, there’s a lot of things that you can’t do that aren’t yours, there’s so much you can do for Gumi!”

“It’s good if it is!”

Although I said that, I was afraid to see Kagami’s agonized expression. The main cause of her condition is not physical, but is caused by mental anomalies. When she has an emotional breakdown, she suffers from high fever and asthma, and in severe cases, she even vomits blood. Every time I saw Kimmy’s illness, it cut me to the core. I loved my sick sister more than anyone, and I wanted to stay by her side forever and take care of her for the rest of my life.

And because of that, because of that, I can’t run away!

“Hey, Toshihiko? Are you okay?”

Jasmine saw me moping and tried to relieve me of my sorrows.

“It’s times like these that call for a little drink. Come on, drink up! Drink up tonight!”

She took the bottle out of her luggage and filled the glass on the low table with the amber liquid, and I watched her movements blankly from the sidelines.

“Come on, cheers!”

Anyway, there’s only one quilt, so it’s nice to drink all night!

I gulped down my glass of brandy.

How long has it been? There’s not a drop left in the bottle.

Jasmine smiled dully, her drunkenness evident at first glance.

“What the hell, I’m talking to you. Hey, did you listen to me?”

Drunken slurring is also par for the course, she probably drank more than double the amount I did.

“Hikari! Is Regan listening to me?”

“I’m listening, but first you put your clothes on!” “What? What happened to my clothes?”

“The yukata’s untied and I see panties!”

“Wahahahaha! Rihon’s a pain in the ass, Hikari!”

Jasmine didn’t mind and started laughing maniacally. I didn’t know where to look, but I couldn’t help but take a peek at the slightly reddened skin and pure white panties that were exposed between her disheveled yukata.

“Shrimp? Are you peeking? You’re not going to stop?”

The words were becoming more and more unintelligible, and I no longer knew what I was saying in the last sentence, but what she was trying to say hit me right in the gut.

“Cut the crap, I’m drunk too, so don’t worry, I’m going to be a drunken bully!”

“Hahaha! Spicy Ri just four-four look ah.”

“You think I wouldn’t dare?”

She may have just been joking, but I don’t eat that shit, and with blood pulsing up and down my head, I can’t restrain myself, my body taking action faster than my conscious mind.

I put the softly shouted “Ya!” Jasmine incense pressed down on the quilt, undoing the already loose belt, grabbed the messy yukata snapped left and right to pull open, plump breasts, exposed in front of my eyes. Scarlet bright skin looks slightly moist red, is the relationship of drinking wine, right? In the center of the pink petals, the tips of the hard and high breasts protruded upwards.

“Toshiko, be gentle, yah…”

A low murmur is the sound of sobriety.

“What, not drunk?”

“Are you drunk? Drunk enough to do this?”

Me? What about me? What do I want to do? I asked myself, gazed upon by a pair of hazel pupils.

“I… It doesn’t matter even if it is…”

“Why?”

“Never mind, come on!”

It was sweet and helplessly seductive. That one word sent my feelings instantly into high gear, and I wrapped my arms tightly around the seductive limbs, dancing my fingertips over the smooth skin.

I directly felt the body temperature of a girl in her twenties, and moved my hands freely. Unconsciously but literally, ten fingers wriggled like individual creatures, rubbing the heavy breasts on one side and turning the trembling tips on the other.

“Ah, yeeh, yeeh~ Don’t just not touch the boobs…”

Obedient to Jasmine’s pleas, I left my right hand off my breasts and slid it down the smooth curve, over my belly button and onto the lace-adorned thin cloth.

While pressing down on the elastic lower abdomen, she pushed her fingers into the gap between the panties and touched the front of the dense forest. After tracing a circle of love on the soft bush, he went further down and immediately reached the secret slit in the hot flesh…

“Uh…ahhh…uhhhh, ahhhhh…uhhhh…”

As my right hand explored the secret realm of my panties, Jasmine’s mouth began to emit hot, wet gasps. Of course, my left hand didn’t stop caressing and playing above me, my lips and tongue were simultaneously sucking and licking the breasts and the tips of the nipples, and because of the slightly rough touching of her most sensitive parts just now, Jasmine’s body began to produce an honest response. The fingertips of my right hand were already wet and slippery with oozing love juice.

“Jasmine, it’s so wet already!”

“Uh-ah, don’t say it! I’m already, about to be unable to hold it in!”

“Whoa? Close to an orgasm?”

“No! You, you’re bad!”

I wasn’t pretending, nor was I trying to make her anxious, it was purely just an error in judgment, but instead I was so anxious myself that as soon as I picked up the upper part of her body, I slapped those soft, plump breasts as hard as I could from behind.

“Ah! It hurts~ Toshihiko, it hurts~”

Between my fingers, which were caught in the soft flesh, I could clearly feel the firm protuberance become even tighter and rise, and I continued to dance my fingers carelessly.

“Please, please, hurry up and stick it in…hurry up and come inside me…”

I nodded with a troubled breath and pulled down the thin cloth covering her lower abdomen, then pressed my burgeoning male very in my panties against the bare wet secret part.

“Ahhhh! So hot, so hot! Toshihiko’s… mmmm ah, ah, so hot!”

As a matter of fact, I had no experience with women at all, and I had no idea what to do at this point. As a result, the root was only idling around the secret slit, never reaching its destination.

“Ah, don’t make me anxious…um…or, is this your first time?”

I didn’t answer, pressing into my man-root without distraction. Jasmine looked away a little, her right hand gently helping my huge, high cock. My parting twitched with new excitement, following the lead and diving into the wet crack.

“Ummm..! Toshihiko’s is so big…ah, ah ah ah! It’s so thick~!”

“It’s so hot inside Jasmine Scent, so hot it’s melting, and, the slickness is creeping up, so, so good!”

Jasmine’s body, which was hot from the wine and pleasure, was like a burning furnace, and I was intoxicated by the alcohol and the first time I had intercourse, and my consciousness was becoming hazy, but my lower body continued to greedily pursue pleasure, and kept jumping around fiercely.

“Uhhhh! What, all of a sudden…uh-uh-uh-uh~! No, I can’t!!!”

Jasmine kept twisting her body like she was trying to break free in pain. Every time she twisted, the walls and lips of her flesh clamped down even more on the deeply buried rod, and the paralyzing pleasure raced across my back, so I repeated the self-indulgent roughness of my thrusts even more fiercely. With each thrust, twist, and friction, the combined area was plopping with the sound of lustful water, and the line of orgasm was just a little bit closer – the line of orgasm was just a little bit closer.

“Ummmmm…it’s coming out!!!”

“No, don’t! Can’t cum in it! Toshi, Toshihiko! If you’re going to cum, do it outside!”

I, who was bewilderedly listening to Jasmine-chan’s yelling, hurriedly tried to pull out my rod, but the pulling out motion couldn’t match the rhythm of the pumping, and as a result, my man-root ejaculated strongly while pulling out of my body.

“Uh wow! Inside, not inside~!”

I heard her frantic screams, but it felt like a distant sound, and with a large amount of cum released inside and out, Jasmine and I leaned on each other and lay back into the quilts.

“Oooh…oooh…that’s too much, I told you it wouldn’t work inside…”

“I’m sorry, I…it’s my first time…because it’s so comfortable, so…this…I don’t know what to do, it’s too late…”

Saying a bunch of humiliating excuses, the cock’s might from earlier disappeared, shrinking to a small size and drooping weakly with the rest of its whitish juices flowing out.

“Besides, you’re the only one who’s had an orgasm, and people haven’t…”

“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, I…”

“Never mind, good night!”

With those words, Jasmine picked up the scattered yukata and slipped it over her head. To me, this was simply the announcement that the fiancée game was over.

I berated and loathed myself. There was nothing for it but to walk away from her, and then only to crouch in a corner of the room, waiting for the dawn to come.

I woke up in a mortar and pestle next to the wall with a blanket over me at some point.

I think Jasmine covered it? Moving my gaze in the direction of the quilt, she was no longer there, and her yukata was neatly folded. She probably woke up before me and finished washing up.

A refreshing breeze brushed through the room and the sun had risen high in the sky, the clock on the wall pointed to 9 o’clock. I stretched and crawled out of the blanket and looked around, was Jasmine no longer there?

I hang my head again when I think of last night’s faux pas.

The object of my first experience, Jasmine, she probably hates me right now, doesn’t she? The original relationship between us was nothing more than a short-lived romance.

Obsessed? Am I obsessed with Jasmine? Is that why I made love to her? So, does that mean that love and sex can be equated? Can sex be justified whenever a man and a woman are in love? If so, what about love, which is superior to affection? As long as it is with someone you love, as long as they love each other, is the union justified?

The person I love is…me, the one I love…

“Good morning, Master Toshihiko!”

Hearing the greeting, I looked up to see that Sumie was kneeling in the hallway.

“Breakfast will be ready in a moment, please join us in the dining room!”

She hadn’t slept peacefully all night, but she didn’t change her strict attitude, as if she had locked herself in the cage called maid.　”Sister Chengjiang, please, can you talk like you used to? I feel so rusty now!”

“I…I’m no longer the Sumie of old, I’m now in the capacity of a servant…”

I have absolutely no idea why she is so stubborn.

The only thing I can say with certainty is that something must have happened to change Sumie during the time I was away from home, that’s all.

“What’s troubling you? I will do my best to help you as long as I can.”

Sumie looks frustrated, it seems like it should be safe to assume that she’s having troubles. But I can’t pry into her privacy at will, so I have to wait for her to say it herself… Will she really confess everything to me?

“But young master Toshihiko will return to Tokyo, right?”

I cursed my own foolishness. It wasn’t just Sumie who had changed, but I myself was completely different from before.

“I’m sorry I said something irresponsible.”

“Please don’t mind.”

A stony atmosphere dominates between us, and it’s been like that since yesterday… was it really the wrong decision to come back? If it hadn’t been for that telegram…

“Sumie-san, it seems like Gumi was very upset last night, right? But, I can’t do anything to help Ginmi even here, so I thought I could at least help someone else!”

This is from the bottom of my heart, but it sounds like a lie.

“Ah, no, I’m sorry, let’s just say I didn’t say it right, I who was afraid to face everything and ran away lacks the conviction to say anything right now, Ginami will be a pain in the ass.”

“I see, then, I’m going to the dining room, and young master Toshihiko, please eat in the dining room as well.”

I arrived at the restaurant five minutes later, but no one else was there, probably because I slept late and everyone else had dined, right? Anyway, let’s wait for Sumie first.

By the way, where did Jasmine go? Could it be that she’s still angry about last night and left first? If that’s the case, then the fiancée thing might be revealed, and the uneasiness and anxiety of isolation stabbed my stomach in bursts.

“Toshihiko!”

The fierce voice came, causing me to jump and turn around to see that my aunt and uncle Shizuko had returned.

With a sexy body and dressed in gorgeous designer fashions, at thirty-six years old, my aunt is still youthful and beautiful, and no one would doubt that she is only in her twenties. That’s why I don’t call her “Auntie Shizuko” but just “Shizuko”.

Shizuko and Hasegawa are together and seem to have just returned from a trip. Judging by the expressions on their faces, it’s possible that Jasmine’s affair has worn off.

“Where the hell have you been? I haven’t heard a word from you in three years! Niinii even asked me to take care of you and Gumiye, but you really don’t listen! And I heard from Hasegawa that you finally showed up and ended up bringing your fiancée back, didn’t you?”

Sure enough it started, and I was prepared for it.

“You’re the heir to the Takakihara family, you shouldn’t just bring back a random little girl of unknown origin and suddenly say you want to get married, right? Is she clean? She’s not making a pass at you with an ulterior motive, is she? Isn’t that right?”

“I…don’t quite know what you mean…”

“I’m asking you if she’s spying on the family’s property!”

Shizuko asserted with a bite. I did some mental math, it looks like Shizuko thinks Jasmine Kouki its my fiancée.

“Jasmine-chan isn’t that kind of girl, what happened at home, I never mentioned it to her before coming here…”

When it comes to property, we have more or less some money left, as well as dirt her and a house. But I don’t think anyone would think twice about this poor countryside.

“Really? But it’s too sudden, isn’t it? Shouldn’t we at least have contacted you beforehand? Because we don’t even know where you live…”

“Don’t know where I live? Didn’t you send me a telegram?”

I explained to her the contents of the telegram and the sender.

“I didn’t send any telegrams, I didn’t ask for them to be sent, and, by no means, could I have made such a nasty joke as that Chinami was critically ill!”

Shizuko flatly denies it, she doesn’t look like she’s lying, and I can’t think of a reason for her to lie, so who the hell was behind that telegram?

“So who the hell is it?”

“I’m the one who wanted to ask you, anyway, I just got back from a business trip, so we’ll talk about it later!”

After Shizuko finished speaking, she walked out of the restaurant with Hasegawa.

Who exactly sent the telegram? There should be no more people related to me, Chinami, and the Takakihara family. The Takakihara family, originally, was a family with very few relatives.

I was deep in thought when I suddenly heard the voices of a man and woman from behind me.

“Phew! Good morning, Toshihiko!”

“Good morning, Toshihiko!”

It’s Jasmine and Uncle. I was so much more relieved to see her that I didn’t expect to dig my own grave…

“I didn’t see you when I woke up and thought you’d run off in a huff.”

“Whoa? Did you piss her off? It couldn’t be the inability to get an erection, could it? There can’t be any other reason why a couple would suddenly not get along in one night than that, hahaha!”

There’s not much difference between giving up and not being able to get an erection, right? Uncle Yasuyuki’s reasoning was also technically correct, and I could only stare at him with resentment.

“Toshihiko isn’t that kind of person ooh, uncle.”

Jasmine said, I was dumbfounded for a second, what is the situation now? I thought Jasmine and my uncle were incompatible with each other!

“So, come and eat. The brats are off to school for summer tutoring, and Jasmine and I have been waiting for you to get up for ages…”

We were casually gathered around the table as Sumie, who had stepped out of the kitchen, was setting up the meal.

“Toshihiko, it’s a nice day, you two can go to the mountain springs.”

“You mean Hime Mikado no Izumi?”

“Well, yeah, yeah, that’s the perfect place to take a little girl. Even the people in the village rarely go there, and you can get a wild cannon shot to the hilt, wahahahaha!”

I had reached the point of impatience with my uncle’s shameless nastiness. However, unlike last night, Jasmine just blandly pretended not to hear it. I was amazed at how well Jasmine adapted to the situation and decided to follow her example.

“I’m going to talk to Shizuko today.”

“With Shizuko? No, we can talk anytime we want to, can’t we? Let’s go to the spring first! Don’t waste time being young, doesn’t the saying go that if you’re young and strong and don’t get laid, you’ll be sad in your old age? Wahahahaha!”

My uncle told more boring jokes and enthusiastically urged us to go to the stream.

“What happened between you and Shizuko?”

I found it interesting and pretended to ask a question carelessly. I knew that the couple didn’t have a good relationship, and the two of them together would be out of place for anyone who saw them, right? Rumor has it that Shizuko was forced to marry by her father, my grandfather.

“Stay out of my business and go do what you have to do!”

My uncle’s face did not change, but his tone seemed displeased. When I wanted to pursue the matter, Jasmine unexpectedly showed solidarity with my uncle.

“Is that mountain spring beautiful? I want to go there so much!”

“You see, Jasmine wants to go. You two go have a painful time!”

Reinforcements drove in, and my uncle began to heckle again. I looked at these two uncomfortably, thinking that I need to think of a proper excuse to get out of it, and, I had one more thing on my mind, yes, about the telegram, who the hell was it, and what was the purpose of sending it to me? If I talk to Shizuko, I might be able to find some clues. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.

“But I have to go back to Tokyo, so I want to discuss this with Shizuko quickly.”

“Ah, but it wouldn’t hurt to interrupt a little longer, would it?”

It took me thirty seconds to understand what she meant by that. I must have repeated her words at least six times in my mind. After finally understanding what she meant, I didn’t know how to answer.

“In fact, I have just been walking in the atrium, and then I deeply felt that this is really a good place with clear mountains and beautiful water, and I always feel that it is a pity to rush back!”

“Well? Toshihiko?”

Uncle boasted triumphantly. However, if she were to stay, she would have to continue to falsely claim to be my fiancée, and that would be too risky, but she seemed to be fully aware of that.

“Yeah? True enough, but I have a job…”

“Oi? Is another week okay? Or three or four days, you need to loosen up once in a while, it’s hard on your body when you’re busy working every day, okay?”

I was at a complete loss for words, and if there was no one around, I would have immediately asked Jasmine Kagimasa what her intentions were. Suddenly, Shizuko’s words flashed through my mind.

Jasmine, spying on the family’s property? How is that possible? It can’t be, can it?

“Miss is right, just stay for a while, you haven’t had a nice chat with Kimmy yet, have you? As I said yesterday, this is your home, don’t mind anyone!”

My uncle looked at me, who could never refuse, and persuaded me. The expression was still the usual cheeky smile, but the voice had an irresistible magic.

“May I?”

Step by step, I was forced to put up a white flag in front of the odd pairing of Jasmine and my uncle.

“Well…in two or three days…”

“Really! Toshihiko, thanks! Well, let’s hurry up and go play at the mountain springs!”

Jasmine was as excited as a schoolboy, but there seemed to be a sense of emptiness.

“Toshihiko, you don’t think you have something on your mind, do you? Could it be that you don’t want to be with Jasmine?”

Just like yesterday when Jasmine and I accused Hasegawa, this time it was Jasmine and Uncle who pointed the arrow at me instead. Having been told that, there’s no way I’m not going to agree.

Hime Mikizen no Izumi is reached after a twenty-five minute climb up a steep mountain path.

We walked in silence for fifteen minutes, and for my part, I didn’t like the idea of her joining forces with my uncle in turn. Sensitive as she was, she seemed to notice, but I was still tempted to ask her what she was planning to do.

“Just say whatever you want to ask!” Probably unable to resist the silence, Jasmine suddenly opened her mouth.

“I really do like it here, so…and I know I’m sorry for doing this, but I want to stay a few more days…”

“Been drugged by your uncle, have you?”

“Not at all! We were just talking, and I was going to say that coming here to play was just enough to be able to do it without having to see him…”

“Then it’s okay to do lo with me here too!”

Jasmine stopped and stared me square in the face.

“Are you kidding me? You really think I’m that kind of woman?”

“There’s no way I can think otherwise, I’m sinking to the bottom of the barrel because of yesterday and you’re still…”

“That’s your bad, isn’t it! The sex man’s nature is completely revealed, and sex is all about your feelings, and you’re still cumming inside even though I said I was going to cum outside!!!”

Criticized by her unmercifully, but I couldn’t refute it.

“You’re responsible if you get pregnant from this!”

The last sentence, I think, was more or less in jest, for I saw the expression on her face as she held back at the tone of her voice. She realized this as well, and hurriedly stepped forward before finishing her sentence.

It seems that Jasmine’s mood isn’t as bad as I thought it would be, so I’m always relieved.

“Wow! This is the Hime Mikazen no Izumi, huh? It’s so beautiful! I didn’t realize it was so big, it’s not just a spring, it’s a big lake!” Jasmine exclaimed as she gazed at the spring.

“It’s so beautiful…the water is so clear, it’s perfect for location shooting! It’s great that Japan is so vast! I can’t believe there’s a place like this that hasn’t been featured on TV or in magazines!”

There is a legend about this mountain spring. It is said that the pioneers of Fao-dake village, the fallen warriors of the Taira family, decided to offer sacrifices to pray for the protection of the mountain god in order to escape from the crusade of General Minamoto; it goes without saying that the sacrifices were of course beautiful young girls, and the one who was chosen at that time was the daughter of the chief, named Takakihara Ibuki, who was an ancestor of mine. It seems that she was summoned by the god of the mountain and threw herself into the sea, so the Ibuki Strait in front of us and the name of the mountain, Fao-dake, are named in honor of Ibuki. Also, the place where she bathed before she jumped into the sea is this Hime Mikado no Izumi.

“The beauty of this place has remained unchanged for eight hundred years, and it is said that this spring is a mirror that always reflects the beauty of Princess Ibuki, who became a sacrifice, never stagnating or drying up, and that it is the holiest of places for the villagers.”

Jasmine seemed interested in what I was saying, gazing at me with a twinkle in her eye.

“Wow~ That’s why the outside world isn’t allowed to know about the existence of the Hime-Mikoto no Izumi, right? But is it okay for me, an outsider, to come to this place?”

“What does it matter? It’s not like we’re here to pollute the spring!”

“Uh…I brought my swimsuit along…” said Jasmine, patting the bag hanging over her shoulder.

“Don’t worry, both Chinami and I used to come swimming all the time, and Chinami used to pee in the water, so some people say that she’s in bad health as a punishment for stealing pee, but she’s actually naturally frail. But why did you bring your swimsuit?”

“Because…I want to play in the water…do I have to swim naked?”

“It’s not that, I’m asking what you’re carrying for, a trip to the beach if you don’t run into me?”

“Geez, swimsuits are a necessity in the mountains, and they’re used in rivers, lakes, hot springs, and here, too, right?”

I looked at Jasmine with a little admiration, living in this breathless society full of friction and disconnection between people, her proactive and enterprising attitude towards life deserves to be a model for everyone.

“I’m going to change in the bushes over there, wait a minute, no peeking!”

Jasmine winked and shook her index finger at me before trotting off into the nearby bushes.

She changed into a two-tone, high-cut swimsuit and stepped into the cold, clear spring water.

“Wow! It’s so cold and cozy! Why don’t you join us? It feels so good!”

“It’s not like I brought my swim trunks…”

“Just get naked, boys have so little to cover!”

“Ah…”

“Ahahaha, you’re so cute when you’re shy!”

Jasmine smiled as she splashed through the rippling water, frolicking with nature; she was just the right girl for the outdoors, a wonderful figure that harmonized wonderfully with the landscape around her.

I sat in the shade of a tree, gazing at her gorgeous swimsuit pose, lifting her long, wet hair, exuding the siren-like spirit of the springs in Western legends, and thinking that one day I would like to draw a picture of her as a model, and this thought welled up in my mind.

I was unconsciously mesmerized by the spirit of the spring, and felt my lust begin to rise, the sensations of last night resurfacing within me, heat emanating from my lower abdomen, and a hardness beginning to throb in my pants, and I couldn’t help but want to taste the delicious fruit of Jasmine again.

“What’s wrong with you, Toshihiko?”

Sensing my unusual sight, Jasmine approached me, the words ‘I’m going to eat you’ almost coming out of her mouth.

“Toshihiko?”

Picking up where last night’s frenzy left off, I pushed her down and she gazed at me, a look of wonder on her face as her bouncy breasts popped out after removing the strapless swimsuit she was wearing.

“I, for one, can’t bear to look at you anyhow!”

“Toshihiko…”

There was no anger or rejection in her pupils; I saw only surprise, shyness, and a little timidity, which was my own interpretation.

Last night had something to do with the wine as well, and it really was my first time, and it all seemed like a dream that happened big time, but now it’s awake and fully aware of what I’m saying and doing.

“I…I want to hold you…”

“This kind of thing, suddenly…”

“You seduced me first!”

I lay on top of her, stroking her soaked skin, a cold sensation unlike yesterday’s, my right hand probing for heat and climbing up my thigh, my left hand burrowing under the armpits by the back of the boldly cut swimsuit.

“Ah, Toshihiko, no…”

A murmur too small to be heard, like a refusal, her body responds more visibly than it did yesterday, writhing in time with my hand, indicating my next direction.

“The mouth says no, but the body doesn’t resist!”

“I wasn’t resisting it, I just, wasn’t mentally prepared for it…”

“So, the physical preparations have been OK!”

I rubbed Jasmine’s breasts with my left hand while sliding my right hand into the crotch of my swimsuit.

“Ahh! How…ahhhh…uhhhhhhh!”

Drilling my fingers under the snug fabric, in the center of the wet slit, drawing circles against the soft wintry flesh that entwined heat and moisture, I eased my index finger in between the soft lips.

“Mmmmmmmmmmmm! Ahhhh…”

After burying the root of my finger, I matched the rhythm of slow and sharp, delicate stirring, mentally unprepared Jasmine, reflexively swayed her body lustfully, following the command of the finger rubbing against the wall of flesh, the orchestra of the female body played a slutty and passionate concerto.

“Yikes! Hmm! Toshi, Toshiko, Flower Heart… touch my Flower Heart too!”

After removing my bathing suit to reveal my crotch, I caressed her between her thighs with both hands, Jasmine’s wet secret part, exposed to the daylight.

“Come on, stroke my flower center, inside me, it’s so hot it’s melting!”

Two fingers had already been accommodated in the slit, and next I used my left hand even more, carefully lifting open the secret bush that had become a wet plain, and then finding the target bud, I deftly turned it with my fingers, at which point Jasmine’s body seemed to jump upwards as if a few million volts of electricity had flowed through it.

“Ahh! It’s so good, it feels so good, Toshihiko! Come again! Caress me again!”

I had read on some program that the center of the flower is like a male rod of steel to a woman, and after gazing wide-eyed at the secret part embossed in the bright summer sun, I realized it was true, the little skin-covered organ was erect and engorged with blood, and I plucked at the skin and licked it in one big gulp, and then nibbled on it with my lips, sucking, pulling, and twirling it around with the tip of my tongue.

“Yi-yah, no, I can’t~ I won’t be able to stand it if I’m being made like this!”

After doggedly attacking the center of the flower and the secret slit, a large amount of mucus overflowed from inside and outside the gap between the fiercely spasming soft flesh, and the wildly swaying waist made it almost impossible for my fingers to keep up.

“Faster…stick it in, your rod…in my little hole…”

Jasmine shakes her hips and spits out vile words; what I thought of as a formidable and bright and fastidious college girl is still a slut in the end.

Of course, it wasn’t an image disillusionment; in fact, my man-root had become even more erect.

It was time, I judged, pulling out the burgeoning rod in my pants and jutting into the shivering secret lips, the wet inner walls, smoothly welcoming the angry rod as I added force, screwing into the deepest part with a single breath.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

Jasmine’s body, so lubricated that it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is melting, and also sucked in my fierce penis, with delicate walls of flesh to give a delicate baptism, erect and over-sensitive male root, completely become a prisoner of this perfect pleasure, I was intoxicated with Jasmine this bottle of fine wine, focusing on dancing the dance of joy in the flesh.

“Uh-uh! Ah, ah! Aah! Yikes, harder, harder! It’s so hot, so hot! It’s melting, it’s melting!”

Moaning like anguish, Jasmine, twisting her body several times as if to escape, each time the walls of flesh and soft lips clamped down even more on the rod buried deep within them, and a paralyzing rush of pleasure flowed through the tendons of my back.

Trying to control not to explode, I stabbed fiercely into the deepest part of my secret hole, the heat and the slime, merging us tightly into one, the end of the expectation, just a small step away.

“Ahhhh, ahhhhh! It’s so good ~ it feels so good ~ it’s going to go, it’s going to go! Ahhhhhhh! Ahh! Cum inside, cum inside!!!”

Caught up in the frenzy, she asked me to cum inside her, contrary to yesterday, and perhaps because of the shared sense of oneness needed to climb to the very top, I accelerated the beat of my pumping and sprinted towards the tipping point of orgasm.

“Uh-oh! Gonna cum!!!”

“Uh-ah, uh-ah! Come on! Together, orgasm together!!!”

I pressed my full body weight on Jasmine and penetrated deeply, when the front end of my rod, which I finally couldn’t hold back, erupted with a ferocious breath.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh~! Toshihiko~!”

The wild screams of passion souped up in my ears and my mind went blank.

Afterward, it was sunset when we enjoyed the afterglow of our orgasms with each other and embarrassingly began preparations for the return trip.

“Toshihiko, how did I do?”

The sudden questioning bothered me for a long time, it’s hard to explain this kind of thing in words, Jasmine Xiang saw that I couldn’t say anything and smiled as she held out her hand to me.

“Never mind, forget it, let’s go back!”

Jasmine and I were shoulder to shoulder as we made our way back together.

Sumie greeted us at the door. Was she worried about why we weren’t back yet?

“Welcome back, dinner will be served soon, please wait in the dining room!”

“Hmm? Thanks!”

I thanked them frankly, not because the barrier in my heart had disappeared, but because I had been influenced by the scent of jasmine and had become much gentler towards others.

“Then, I’ll go ahead and prepare dinner for Gumi-sama!”

“Ah, what’s Chinami’s condition?”

As soon as Sumie said that, it occurred to me to ask about Chinami’s situation, and I was a little embarrassed.

“Nothing has changed…”

Probably also because of what happened in the morning, I felt like there was something she was having trouble saying, like she wanted to say it but couldn’t.

“If there’s something you want to say, you might as well say it!”

“Yes, miss has been hung up on young master Junyan all day today…”

When she finished, she stole a glance at Jasmine, which made me less than comfortable.

“Uh, I’m going to be interrupting here for two or three more days and will check on her again!”

“By all means, then, if you’ll excuse me!”

Sumie left quickly, and after watching her back, Jasmine looked at me with a complicated expression.

“What’s wrong?”

“Does she hate me?”

“What a silly thing to say, it’s hard to find people in the world who hate you!”

It’s not flattery, it’s from my heart, and even though I’m having sex with Jasmine, her image in my mind is still flawless.

“Because, I think she’s cold to me!”

Are you happy that I said that? Mentally, I was expecting a reaction, but she didn’t even listen and said something I didn’t even think of.

“Could it be that she likes you…”

“You’re imagining things too much, she’s a person with a strong sense of responsibility, she’s probably following through on her position as a servant too much, and with the whole Gumi thing…”

Jasmine didn’t seem very receptive to what I was saying, but since it wasn’t a big deal, I changed the subject.

“Whatever, hurry up and get in there, I haven’t had lunch today and I’m starving!”

“Yeah, I’m hungry too!”

The suggestion was immediately agreed to by Jasmine, and in any case, we walked quickly into the house in order to fill our empty bellies a moment sooner.

When I arrived at the restaurant, my uncle and I had already started to eat, Jasmine and I apologized for being late and took our seats, this time it seemed that we could have a good taste of Sumie’s delicious cuisine.

“You seem to be having a good time, you must be hungry, eat, eat!”

“Yes, thanks to you, I’m going to start!”

We all knew what he meant, and that was originally the truth, plus being hungry wasn’t wrong at all, so I answered appropriately and started moving my chopsticks.

“Well, you’ve got a good appetite, I couldn’t wait for you guys to come back, I was thinking that it would be nice if I made bento for you guys to take with you, but then I thought, Toshihiko just needs to enjoy Jasmine’s big, hearty dish, and Jasmine would be full just from drinking Toshihiko’s food!”

I almost spewed out the dish in my mouth, and after I managed to swallow it, I glanced at Jasmine Hyang next door, who was moving her chopsticks as if nothing was wrong, like nothing was wrong at all, and I was trying my best to pretend to be calm as well.

“By the way, didn’t see Shizuko anywhere, did she say anything about me?”

There was still no sign of Shizuko at the table, and having broken my promise to find her and talk to her, I, who wasn’t quite ready to meet her, was slightly relieved at this point.

“Shizuko said she was going to the village party, she said she’d talk to you the day after tomorrow!”

“She seems busy!”

“That woman, who puts her work before her family, we rarely eat together at all, but thanks to that, I’m able to take it easy!”

My uncle then tried to follow up by asking us what we had been doing at the mountain spring, but we subtly she changed the subject, and finally had to die and start telling a series of dirty jokes.

Despite feeling pity for Jingu and Komoro, who had to listen to these words every day, Jasmine and I decided to bow out first.

“What the hell, I was going to get you a drink!”

I was both bored and afraid that he would use it for an article next, so I resolutely refused.

“We have something to do later!”

“Wahaha! Out of order, out of order, this is much more important, you really should exercise after a meal to help with digestion, go go go go!” Uncle laughed disgustedly and let us go.

We returned to the room and changed into bathrobes, there was still only one quilt, but it no longer mattered, Jasmine Xiang had likewise no longer minded my presence as she changed, and my relationship with her might have evolved from that of an unmarried couple in disguise to that of a real boyfriend and girlfriend, or was this my personal illusion? What did she think in her heart? I want to understand her feelings, in short, the mood is not too happy.

I looked away from Jasmine, who had pulled open the paper door to cool off.

Grass shaving jasmine fragrance, double ten years old female college students, both parents have left the world, family only left a younger brother, use the summer vacation period of the university, travel alone, past male experience, there are three men, this is all I know of her, I want to know her a little more in depth, but more than that, I would like to know what she thinks of me.

Come to think of it, she did say she wanted to go to a place where she could be alone and think about what she wanted to think about. About college? About family? Or about men in the past? The three guys she slept with, what kind of guys were they? Are any of them still in a relationship? No way, if she had a boyfriend, she wouldn’t be having sex with another guy, so this trip is a so-called lost love trip? Anyway, I was jealous of those guys I hadn’t met before, so I made up my mind to ask about it.

“Yesterday, you said in the train that you wanted to be left alone to think right?”

“Ambiguous? Did I say something like that?”

“Well, you said, what was it about?”

“Uh…no big deal…”

The intentionally evasive answer piqued my curiosity even more.

“Wow, is it… something about an old boyfriend?”

　 “Ambiguous? Why all of a sudden…? I’ve never had a boyfriend!”

“But didn’t you say you slept with three men?”

Jealousy drove me to say something rash, and suddenly, Jasmine’s expression clouded over.

“That…I don’t want to talk about it…”

“Dumped? Traveling because of a broken heart?”

“I don’t want to talk about it, I don’t want to talk about it…”

She shook her head vehemently, and I knew I was being egregious, but my mouth didn’t know how to restrain itself.

“I wanted to know more about you because, well, we’re engaged…”

“That was fake, wasn’t it? Everything is an act, isn’t it?”

“Is it an act for you to make love to me too? At least, I can’t do it, I mean it, Jasmine, I want to make love to you…will you?”

Not knowing what to do, I hugged Jasmine tightly, time passed quietly, Jasmine was still silent, she did not want to speak.

Finally, after what seemed like an interminable four minutes, Jasmine’s vermilion lips twitched slightly.

“I…I don’t hate you either…”

It was the utmost of her heart.

“Thanks, that’s enough!”

“Sorry…”

“It’s okay, go to sleep!”

We cuddled up and fell asleep.

So dark…

Here, what is this place?

Wind? It’s the wind, and, there’s the sound of water…?

By the way, this is Hime Mikado no Izumi.

I, uh, came to play with Jasmine. Jasmine? Where’s Jasmine?

“Ahahahahaha! Look!”

Laughter…laughter full of joy, lovely laughter that I miss, is it jasmine scent?

Suddenly bright in front of her eyes, the young girl in the soaked yukata, was?

“Brother! Come on, it’s cold, it feels good!”

Gumi! Why? Jasmine will turn into Ginmi?

“Brother! What’s going on? Let’s play together!”

This, this is…a memory from before? Or…a dream?

“Brother, come on, come this way!”

Huh? Okay, Kimmy, I’ll be right there.

I faced Katsumi, and my consciousness was attracted to her, and in an instant, the scenery unexpectedly changed, the spring disappeared, and what emerged instead was an old Japanese room, a quilt spread out on a tatami mat, and Katsumi, who was lying on her back with her breasts half-naked, gazing at me.

“Mmmmmm, faster…brother, come on…”

My consciousness was shocked horribly, and, accelerating explosively with the speed of being adsorbed over, I burst in a straight line towards the pure femur with the gateway wide open.

I wailed involuntarily and mournfully.

Awakened by the shock of my own screams, I broke out in a cold sweat, barely able to catch my breath.

“Huh? So it was a dream? But… it’s too scary…”

Horror? Why? What about the dream with Chinami? Isn’t it a memory from before? Then why do you feel scared?

No, wait a minute. Did I really have a dream about Kimmy? I thought I saw Jasmine too, right? But why can’t I calm down?

I shook my head and slapped my cheeks to clear my head, wiping away the confused images, and closed my eyelids tightly, then slowly opened them again, long after the paper door had fallen silent and dark in January.

After looking around the room again, I realized that Jasmine was nowhere to be found. Did she go to the restroom? I sat on the quilt and waited for her to come back, but she never showed up.

The antique pendant clock in my room, was pointing to three o’clock in the night, and I was becoming increasingly restless, even the dream I had just had was pointlessly agitating me.

Getting lost at home would be ridiculous, but it’s possible in my house because the size of the house and the number of rooms are comparable to a medium-sized onsen hotel, and the size of the courtyard is even more impressive… Going to look for her? I cheered myself up and stood up.

Late at night the house was as sleepy as a greedy sleeper, so quiet that it made my heart grow fuzzy, and I looked in the direction of the dining room, starting from the bathroom and the restroom, but I couldn’t find her.

Perhaps pacing the atrium, I thought. Walking to the atrium bathed in the bright moonlight, the crystal-like moonlight encompassed the courtyard, where the night dews glistened and took on a fantastically serene appearance.

“It’s a view I’ve been accustomed to since I was a child… ah, I’ll have to go to Jasmine to get it…”

After deep emotion, I returned to my original purpose.

On a walk with Jasmine, what interests her most?

Oh yeah, it’s a warehouse, and she said there might be treasure…

“Warehouses? Treasure trove? Could it be…”

She would talk about the treasure, it must be the influence of the TV program, it can’t be related to spying on the property, after thinking about this I feel a little relieved, slowly wandering in the direction of the warehouse.

When I arrived at the warehouse there was no sign of Jasmine either, so I paid attention to the dark surroundings and raised my guard to look for it.

Suddenly, marvelous sounds came into the ears.

What is it? What do I hear?

It was almost like a sound coming out of the ground, and I thought it was a human voice.

Human voices? Where the hell is it coming from?

In the warehouse? Who’s inside the warehouse? Jasmine?

To confirm the faint, strange sound, I lifted my step and walked into the warehouse.

There was no illumination in the house except the moonlight that filtered in through the windows, and I waved away the heavy stench of rust as I walked out into the warehouse, still not a soul in sight.

“Is anyone there? Jasmine? Are you there?”

There was no answer, I pricked up my ears and the incredible voice was gone.

For the sake of caution, I made a careful tour of the warehouse, but I still didn’t find it, and I wondered in my mind, but I could no longer hear the kind of sound that I had just heard.

“What the hell, never mind, since I can’t find Jasmine, I’ll just go back!”

I actually could have checked out the other halls, but the thought of the dream wrapped me up and I walked out the door after looking around the warehouse one more time.

When he returned to his room, Jasmine was actually back.

“Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you for ages!”

“I’m going to take a shower because I can’t sleep in the middle of the night!”

“Yeah? I went to the bathroom and there was no one there!”

“Yes, I’ve been washing it for ages!”

She ruffled her hair as she spoke, the fresh scent of shampoo being strong evidence.

“So did you go out into the atrium to cool off before your bath?”

“Ambiguous? Ah, yes!”

“It probably happened to be a mistake, because after I looked at the bathrooms, I went to the atrium, too!”

“I suppose…”

Jasmine nodded, probably as sleepiness and weariness kicked in, and she dozed off, while I gazed on, never getting tired of watching her a thousand times.

Chapter 3: The Garden

How long has it been since then? This morning Chengjiang came to call me for breakfast again.

“Good morning Sister Chengjiang, you want to have breakfast? Isn’t it still early?”

“Because today Young Master Jingo and Miss Komoro are also going to summer tutoring…”

“Wow, students are tough, but here’s a laid-back college girl.”

Jasmine was still asleep in dreamland.

“Should I wake her up?” Sumie said, debating whether or not to wake Jasmine-chan.

“It’s rare that she sleeps so well, so just ignore her.”

In order not to hinder her peaceful sleep, I softly walked out of the room. As a result of waking up in the middle of the night, my stomach had already sent out a warning signal of a vacuum, and in the past two days, my appetite center was literally in a state of skyrocketing and plummeting, but the delicious food made by Chengjiang had gradually made my appetite grow.

“Is it okay not to be with Ms. Jasmine?”

“Well, I’m starving, and even if I wasn’t, eating your cooking is more important than anything else.”

“Ah, thanks.”

It’s rare that Sumie’s voice changes tone, and even though her expression doesn’t change, she still feels the irritated tone. Was she embarrassed by what I said? I was much happier, as if I saw the old Sumie coming back. In that case, I wanted to tease her, properly speaking, I wanted to bully her, I wanted to see Sumie’s brighter expression.

“But the person who can marry Chengjiang is so happy. Sister Chengjiang is a great beauty, and you can have a great meal every day, its enviable!”

After making the wisecrack, I knew my attempt had backfired. For some reason, she became pensive.

“I have no plans to get married, I only wish to serve the Takamigahara family here for the rest of my life, that is my wish, and to carry on my late father’s legacy…”

“Why do you have to say such period theater lines? It’s not that I don’t know how you feel, it’s just that it’s ridiculous in modern times!”

The expression on her face became even more depressed; what reason made it necessary for her to be confined to this home?

“Is it… for Kagome? You said you were worried about her…”

She just raised her sad eyes, not intending to speak. I’m also half responsible for Chinami’s situation. As a result, we couldn’t say anything else and returned to the original topic.

“Let’s go to the cafeteria…”

Entering the restaurant, I ignored my uncle’s jokes while concentrating on my meal.

Though occasionally concerned about why Kotobuki was staring at my face, I finished breakfast in less than ten minutes and quickly left the table. Despite the dirty jokes I’ve been accepting as commonplace, the mere sight of Kotobuki, doing what he did with Jasmine makes me feel guilty, and I feel guilty about Kagome…

After stepping out into the hallway, Hasegawa seemed to be waiting for me outside for a long time.

Shizuko called him, I can guess. She waited for me all day yesterday for nothing, her heart must not have been very comfortable, and auntie has been extremely attached to this kind of relationship from before.

“Mrs. Shizuko is looking for you. She’s waiting in her room, so please go quickly.”

Sure enough, I guessed right. I nodded and went straight to Shizuko’s room.

The house has been remodeled for a long time, and the corridors are so intricate that they look like a maze, and the number of rooms is so large that I can’t even count them. The structure was a fusion of Japanese and Western architecture, which I now see as tasteless. It’s crazy to think that they’re trying to combine Japanese and Western architecture. Our family mainly used the Japanese-style rooms, while the Kanda diners lived in Western-style rooms for practical reasons, and originally Shizuko had lived in a Western-style house before she got married, so it was in keeping with her image. Regardless, there were still more than enough empty rooms, and the room Shizuko was living in now was the same one she used before marrying into the Kanda family.

I stood in front of her room and moved my muscles a little, with the wistful expectation that I might get a little clue about the telegram later. Even if everyone at home said they didn’t know, I did receive the telegram, and telegrams don’t send themselves.

More or less nervously, I walked into the room, and in the air-conditioned room, the scent of brandy and black tea faintly wafted. Shizuko sat on a chair with a unique style, lifting up her long wavy hair and looking at me with those serious phoenix eyes, her sight seemed to carry a bit of indifference, she was indeed not happy about me going to the spring to play.

“I heard you went to Mountain Springs yesterday?”

As I imagined, bringing up the mountain springs was done, and there was nothing to do but apologize.

“Yes, meant to say sorry to you first.”

“Well, never mind, it’s okay. Talked to Ginmi yet?”

“After talking a little bit, it’s coming along better than I thought it would, and I’m much more at ease.”

“Yeah, she’s not critically ill.”

“Just mentally…still not good?”

“Yeah, well, back then she cried for three whole months after she found out you were gone. Then from the fourth month until today, it’s been like this…”

That’s right. My heart was tangled up in a knot, and Shizuko’s eyes, clearly blaming me.

“Why can’t it wait until we move back?”

The reason I left home was the result of struggling to find a solution under the troubles. Even now I think it’s the only way, but how did it affect Chinami? Did I push Gumi to the brink?

“I-I thought that I would become useless if I continued to stay at home, that’s why I had to leave home, and I thought it would be good for Kagome as well…”

“But you’re back.”

Shizuko said slowly. Of course I came back, but that was because of the telegram, and without that telegram I would have had no intention of going home.

“It’s because of that telegram, I don’t know who recalled me…”

“And why bring your fiancée back with you?”

Shizuko looked at me coldly, and I had to find an excuse quickly.

“Just by chance, because she said she wanted to come with me…”

“Yes?”

Her vision grew colder and colder. I’m confused, what does she really mean? Was she suspicious of Jasmine and came to spy on me?

“What are you trying to say?”

Shizuko crossed her legs with a swagger and picked up the teacup on the low table, bringing it to her mouth in a graceful motion.

“Well, first of all, I’d like to ask you what you really wanted to do when you ran away from home, and why you didn’t hear from me for three years, and then why you came back to the house, and finally what you’re going to do in the future.”

Stupid question, I think so.

“It’s too easy, as I just said, I left home because I thought I would become useless if I went on like this. I didn’t contact my family because I felt guilty for leaving without a word. As for the fact that I would come back it was because I was tricked by the telegram that Kimmy was critically ill…”

I paused when I said that, since I was most concerned about the telegram, but Shizuko seemed to want to know my next instructions quickly, so she raised her nervous-like pointed jaw and urged me to continue.

“What about later, it’s because Jasmine loves this place so much that I want to stay until she’s satisfied before returning to Tokyo…”

It’s best to do so as soon as possible, despite the growing closeness with Jasmine, she’s really a fake fiancée. Confessing my heart to her didn’t get a positive response either. Moreover, whenever I’m at home, my mind is stirred by Chinami, and perhaps sensing my thoughts, Shizuko snorts a couple of laughs.

“Hmph, that’s a vague answer… Since Jasmine likes it here, you’ll want to come back someday after you go back to Tokyo, won’t you? Do you want to move back in the future too?”

“Nothing like that, at least I don’t plan on living here.”

“Whoa? Didn’t you get a fake telegram and run back?”

Provocative words, almost like looking for a fight with me. I got a little angry and couldn’t help but raise my voice.

“What exactly do you want to say? What do you want me to do?”

“You are a troublesome and capricious fellow, and have not thought at all of this family and the people in it; put yourself in the place of these people who have been made to suffer by your arrogance!

“I didn’t mean that…”

“Of course you didn’t. It’s precisely because of your lack of self-awareness that you’re even less able to clean up the mess. Really, brother and sister in the same mold!”

“It’s nothing to do with Ginmi, is it!”

“Shut up! In the end, you and your brother are still the same!”

I was overwhelmed by the sudden change of topic. Why the sudden mention of father? I couldn’t grasp the true meaning of the words.

“Anyway, I hope you leave soon and don’t come back!”

Shizuko yelled hysterically and the talks had to end. I can say that I, who was driven out into the hallway, was completely unable to accept this ending and could not help but be angry. What was the meaning of my aunt’s overbearing attitude? Even if I tried to think calmly, it would only add to my anger.

“Sheesh! What the hell were you thinking!?”

After casting an indignant glance at my aunt’s room, I strutted away with a great stride, when-

“Yaaaah!!!”

The young girl who was hit on the head by me at the corner of the corridor fell heavily along with the bucket. From the fact that she was wearing a maid’s outfit, it seems that she’s probably a servant in the house, but this is the first time I’ve seen it.

“It hurts! You don’t know where you’re going, do you?”

Personality seems to be quite good and strong, fell to the ground and still in a ferocious tone of voice to me angrily, not pay attention to the front should be both sides of the fault, but I was completely overwhelmed by her aura.

“Ah, I wasn’t paying attention for a moment, sorry…”

“If the things in the world can be solved by a word of inattention, then the police department can close its doors!!!”

The young girl turned a deaf ear to my reparations and looked at the overturned bucket with an expression of despair, the corridor having long since become a watery swamp.

“Ah, it’s all your fault! The hallway is flooded… I’m so sick of it… I almost finished scrubbing, and I’m about to go to the grocery store… I hate it!”

The young girl threw herself helplessly into the air, and the only thing I could do was apologize.

“I’m really sorry! Let me help you if I can?”

“Nonsense, of course you’re going to help! You’re the reason we’re like this!”

I was dumbfounded, but not before saying what I had just found out-

“But that…”

“What’s going on? I won’t spare you if you try to escape!”

“No, it’s the Red Roo-Pu, I saw it…”

“Aren’t you awake? Can’t you see I’m scrubbing the floor! Where did the carrots come from!?”

She didn’t seem to notice. But after she dropped a bite, her skirt rolled up. The pink bikini panties printed with a red rosette pattern were visible to me.

“That…in the skirt…is it because it’s wet?”

“In the skirt? What a silly thing to say! There’s no red in a place like that…”

Speaking as if she finally understood what I meant. She immediately closed her mouth and jumped up with amazing vigor, her cheeks red as a fruit and became much more honest.

“You…straight…saw it?”

“Ah, sort of!”

Her attitude suddenly changed, and she angrily raised her middle finger and cursed at me.

“Idiot! Big pervert! Pervert!!!”

“I’m sorry I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, by the way, do you work here?”

“You should know that when you see it! I’m a servant here! It’s a part-time job!”

“Ah part-time girl, my name is Toshihiko, Toshihiko Takakihara, please teach me more!”

“Takakihara Toshihiko? That, that’s…wouldn’t that be, the Takakihara family’s…young master Toshihiko? Oh, wow! What, what, what? I, I, I, I…I…I’m called called Aoki, Sonazono Sonoko~!”

The working girl’s whole body trembled, almost like a thousand faces, and her expression changed dramatically.

“Where’s that unforgiving authority that you had just now? Say your name again!”

“Yes..! I’m the only daughter of the South Side Model Shop, my name is Sonoko Aoki, I’m eighteen years old, a junior in high school, I’m still a virgin, and I’m looking for a boyfriend!”

“Oi? The daughter of the Aoki model store, huh? I used to go to your house to buy plastic models.”

“Yes! I remember, doesn’t young master Toshihiko remember me?”

At her words, I began to try to remember. The owner of the Aoki model store was a kindly tall man who always smiled whenever I went to buy a model and told me something that only a modeling fanatic would know, but I couldn’t recall that he had such a daughter.

“But you’re pretty funny, just asking for your name and telling me all about your privacy yourself!”

“Oy? Ah, I’m so sorry for saying something redundant!”

“No, it’s okay, and I’ve seen the lovely red rooibos too!”

Sonoko once again turned red as she tugged at the hem of her skirt.

“Hahaha, what’s on your mind is really written on your face. Anyway, I’ll help you scrub the floor, anything else I can do to help?”

“But, Toshihiko… no, young master Toshihiko, that wouldn’t be very nice…”

“It’s okay, I want to apologize too. By the way, can you not add the word ‘young master’?”

“But the people here say that you must add honorifics to it…”

“Who said that?”

“It was Ms. Sumie, she taught me a lot…”

It must be hard for the girl if she’s the one teaching, right? I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

“Uh, did I say something bad?”

“No, no, let’s hurry up and get it over with anyway, let me know if anything else comes up…”

“So, I’m going to buy tokusatsu at the Kindo Kujuro store later, if you can, would you please accompany me?” Sonoko politely she said.

“Well, of course it’s good, this kind of errand is so easy!”

“Great, there’s a lot to buy today and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to carry it alone!”

“Then I can just about help, let’s hurry up and finish scrubbing and go shopping!”

We quickly got organized and walked out of the house.

“But is it really okay? Young Master Toshihiko is bringing his fiancée back with him this time, right? If we don’t say something to her first…”

Just as I walked out the door, Sonoko asked me about Jasmine, she didn’t question my relationship with Jasmine at all.

“Jasmine’s sleeping, and I’m not in the best of moods and want something to do!”

“That’s true, but it’s rather lucky for me!”

“Me too, and now there are carrots flying in front of my eyes!”

“Young Master Toshihiko!!!”

Sonoko’s red-faced tantrum again was so expressive. At some point, my anger at my aunt and uncle had disappeared, and my mood was so light that I was beaming.

“Hahaha! Let’s go.”

“Ah, yes!”

Sonoko told me that she was going to the grocery store in front of the station, which was the center of the village, to buy daily necessities. Before I was born, there was only one grocery store in front of the station, and this store, Kindo Kujuro Shoten, had a wide range of goods, from daily groceries to electrical appliances, which it did not know how to get.

The road leading to the station is the same road I traveled with Jasmine the day before yesterday. It’s about 20 minutes from home, and it’s the same road I left home on three years ago.

The two of us were surprisingly kindred spirits, and walking the rugged trails seemed as easy as hiking. Sonoko, with her bright personality, struck me as a miniature version of Jasmine, and since she was still young, always active, and had no Takakihara family blood, she was in some ways the perfect escape from reality.

After walking around for five minutes, probably because my attitude had been so easygoing, she started mentioning marvelous topics.

“That…young master Toshihiko might find it harsh, but I think everyone in the Takagihara household is a bit strange which.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, the weird part…Mr. Yasuyuki is especially obvious and so nasty! All the pornographic and cheap jokes, and looking at me with lustful eyes!”

I thought to myself, “No way! That’s the kind of person Uncle is, and recalling the way Garden wrestled, the carrot I had just seen burned strongly in my brain. As a result, am I in the same boat as my uncle?

“That…and I’m in no position to talk about him…”

“Young Master Junyan is bright and easy to get attached to… oops, so shy to say such things…”

Shyly lowering her head, she immediately raised it again and returned to the topic of conversation.

“But Mr. Yasuyuki is different, how can I put it? It’s like being raped by him with his eye kozo. Just being stared at by him gives me goosebumps, I can’t believe he’s Mrs. Shizuko’s husband!”

It was conceivable that the uncle was not popular. Sonoko began to analyze the characteristics of the people in her family in her own point of view, in great detail.

“Mrs. Shizuko also has the disadvantage of being condescending and bossy, Young Master Jingo always has a stern face, can’t understand him at all, among the servants, Miss Sumie, although she’s a beauty, is gloomy all year round, Mr. Hasegawa is silent and feels so scary, the only one who’s most normal is Miss Kotobuki, isn’t she? But, she’s not too normal either…”

“What place?”

“Sometimes with trepidation. Maybe I’m just being paranoid, she seems to be afraid of Young Master Jingo. Young Master Jingo’s care for her seems to be at an abnormal level…”

I hesitated for a moment not knowing how to react, the relationship between Shingo and Kotobuki was almost like a replica of me and Gumi.

“And… Kagome-sama’s illness, I think that was mostly just a heart condition…” said Sonoko, her expression stiffening momentarily as she looked at me with extreme guilt.

“I’m sorry! Miss Chinami is young master Toshihiko’s sister, and I was… I was too inattentive!”

She really didn’t mean any harm, but I couldn’t help but be sarcastic.

“The police department can close its doors if a word of inattention will do the trick, right?”

“Yah, I’m so sorry…”

Whether or not I wanted to ruin the relaxed atmosphere that had been so easily created all depended on my attitude. I certainly wouldn’t be that insensitive.

“Heh, it doesn’t matter, it’s also true about Kimmy, you’re so observant.”

More or less mellow, but I didn’t care. After a few minutes, we arrived at our destination.

The station in front of the barren land was still silent. It’s hard to find a lively place in a village with so few inhabitants and so few visitors.

During the time I spent shopping in the garden, I viewed the scenery of the neighborhood, a landscape that is exactly the same as it was three years ago, not only since I learned how to do it, but I’m afraid it hasn’t changed since even longer ago! The nostalgic scenery, at the same time, gave me a sense of psychological oppression. It tells me that I am still in a nightmare. Even now, I still have a dreamlike delusion that I am here. How am I going to face these blank years with Kimmy?

“I’ve kept you waiting!”

The bright voice awakened my awareness of being in a place between dream and reality.

“Well, I’ll mention it.”

“Yes, thank you!”

Immediately after lifting the two large paper bags under the ground, the tendons in my hands sank and were pulled downward, and I couldn’t help but cringe.

“Wow, this is heavy!”

“That’s right, it’s hard for a weak woman to carry it home, can you lift it?”

“It’s okay, let’s go!”

We embarked on the way we came and began to head for home. On the way home it was the opposite of the way we came, with me taking the initiative to open up to Sonoko.

“But yeah, I’m rather new to you working at my house.”

“Well, there are a lot of reasons…”

I had no intention of asking her about her background, but she looked up at the sky for a moment and began to explain herself.

“As you can imagine, my family’s business has been in the red every year. It turned out that there were very few children in Fasuyue Village, and it was a big mistake to open a model store. Dad opened the store purely based on his own interests, and purchased a large number of fine toys from overseas, which ended up in the store, and could not be sold at all! A middle-aged man sitting in a pile of toys and playing with them excitedly is no different from an elementary school student!”

While Sonoko is quite angry, I empathize with her father’s lifestyle. No matter who you are, no matter how old you are, you want to still be able to live in an environment stacked with your beloved items; it’s not called a Peter Pan complex, it’s an attitude to life that holds true to your beliefs.

“That’s true, but I think it’s his ideal life…”

As soon as I said that, Sonoko shook her head vigorously.

“Provided it doesn’t cause trouble for the neighborhood! But my father took on a huge debt because of it, and I’ll come to work part-time to pay it off…”

Suddenly, my uncle’s smug smile appeared in my mind. Could it be that the debtor was Kang’s uncle? I asked her again, and she replied, “How do you know that?”

“Just a guess, but there should be plenty of work-study opportunities on better terms if it’s just to pay off your debt, right? I may not be too tactful, but you’re not supposed to be working part-time because you’re being held as collateral for a debt, are you?”

“You thought so? I would have thought so!”

There was a slight hint of despair in her face, did this girl easily bear this ancient custom? Sumie was the same, wasn’t she? Strangely enough, the people of Hairy Ogakura had a tendency to follow ancient customs excessively.

“But Mr. Yasuyuki said that if you can make young master Toshihiko fall in love at first sight when he comes back, you can become a member of the Takakihara family, and only then will the debt be cleared!”

“Uncle actually said something like that!?”

I was taken aback and angry at the thought of him pulling these shenanigans in the dark.

“But it’s hopeless, you’re engaged, and Mr. Konnichiwa didn’t even tell me!”

“Don’t take everything Uncle says seriously!”

I felt that my uncle’s words had a tricky meaning. “When Toshihiko came back”? Does he mean this time? Or was he just saying that? No, wait a minute. He didn’t know I was coming back, did he?

The inability to let go is as heavy as an object carried in both hands.

I was relieved to finally see the door of my house. Honestly it was really heavy labor, and it was a real struggle for me to make a career out of drawing, as my lack of exercise on weekdays had led to a decline in my physical strength.

“Still okay? Let me get it from here?”

Sonoko probably couldn’t stand to see me gasping for air, the twenty minute trip took nearly twice as long with the heavy lifting, and she offered to help me several times along the way, but it wouldn’t have been manly to ask her to help.

“No, I’m going to stick it out. “

“Then, please take it to the warehouse.”

“What! The warehouse?”

I thought I’d be fine when I got to the foyer, but I couldn’t help but yell.

From the entrance to the warehouse, a distance of about 300 meters, it was hard to reach the oasis, but it turned into a mirage again. I know the feeling. However, since we’re here, let’s just hang on a little longer!

As she struggled to lift the paper bag, Jasmine appeared through the door with an expression full of anger and yelled at me with her first words.

“Toshihiko! Where have you been!!!”

“Go…go shopping…”

“It’s too much! To leave me alone!!!”

Jasmine is furious, but I don’t understand the reason for her anger at all.

“Why are you so angry? Aren’t you the one who said you wanted to stay a few more days?”

“What, those two things don’t matter! You want me to face that asshole old man all by myself? And have the cheek to have fun with little girls yourself!”

“What did you say! It has nothing to do with Sonoko at all!!!”

I felt like Jasmine was being irrational and couldn’t help but be indignant.

“That…I’m sorry, I’m the one who asked Young Master Junyan to accompany me to go shopping, please don’t blame him!”

In the midst of the touch-and-go scene, Sonoko intervenes to round things off, but it only backfires as Jasmine starts saying nasty things as if she’s offended.

“What? You’ve already tricked this sister into getting your hands on her? It’s true, compared to a flabby tigress like me, a young and tender little girl is much more favorable!”

“Shut up! What the hell are you talking about!?”

“I’ve had enough! I’m the woman no one wants anyway!!!”

She jogged into the house after dropping the sentence. Sonoko, full of apologies, made amends to me who stayed speechless for a long time.

“I’m sorry for causing you to be misunderstood by her…”

“No, don’t you care!”

“But… ah, I’ll just take these things, please go back to your room and rest.”

“It’s okay, I’m more comfortable with you.”

She was relieved to see me force a smile and took the opportunity to change the subject.

“Is that so? I’m actually scared of that warehouse because sometimes it seems like I hear strange noises. It’s probably just an illusion, but it’s so scary…”

Is that the sound from last night? It’s probably really scary for such a spirited girl to say scary. I decided not to say anything about last night in order not to deepen her fear.

“The more you think it’s scary, the scarier it gets, and it’s okay if you don’t think about it.”

“Exactly right, I think so too!”

I had been talking more and more quietly, but now I seem to have the courage to do it again.

I purposely acted cheerful and urged her to head to the warehouse.

The stagnant air in the warehouse is full of rusty smelling moisture, and the stagnant air is slightly wafting with an odor of stench, what kind of smell is it? I sniffled and tried my best to hold back my sneeze. Is it normal to have a foul odor in a dusty warehouse? Anyway, I put aside the odor in my mind for now, and arrange the items as Sonoko said.

“Thank you, I really appreciate your help!” Siege bowed to me.

“This little thing doesn’t count…ouch!”

All I wanted to do was pose, but who knew that when I put my foot out, I’d bump into the garden and send her tumbling.

“It hurts!!!”

“Sonoko, I’m sorry!”

I fell on top of her and jumped up in a panic, half-kneeling and holding out my hand. Sonoko grabbed my hand and sat up as well.

“Ah, uh, young master Toshihiko, did you mean it?”

I wasn’t, of course, merely tripping over her feet, but the thought of being watched by her as if confessing my guilt came to me.

“How? I…maybe I’m under the magic of the carrot?”

Sonoko’s cheeks blush, then she whispers to me in a shy voice.

“Young Master Junyan, I…I like you…”

I was confused as she began to profess her feelings.

“I fell in love with young master Toshihiko when I was a child, and for me as an only child, young master Toshihiko was the ideal older brother, a sentiment that formed into an adoration day by day…”

It’s almost like the world of teenage comics, I thought to myself, but then I realized that I was already attracted to her, or maybe, I was simply trying to escape reality.

I shrink closer to Sonoko, close enough to where I’m about to touch her lips.

“Toshi, Master Toshihiko? No, I can’t…” gasped Sonoko, squirming as she let out a gasping sound.

“Why? Don’t you like me?”

“Because…because…young master Toshihiko, Ms. Jasmine-chan…”

Looking at her, I felt the urge to tell the truth, so I briefly explained the whole story to her, emphasizing that it was a lie in response to the evolution of events.

A half-hearted expression surfaced on her face, but she didn’t resist my embrace as I pushed her down onto the creaking floor, then peeled the maid’s uniform from her toned limbs and gazed out at the tiny red wicker bikini panties. I swallowed and covered my fingers in the panties, her young limbs having lost their strength and spread wide and defenseless.

“Yaaaah, no, a place like this…no, don’t…”

The resistance of the murmuring voice, extraordinarily ignited my dark anger. The lust that the jasmine scent made me comprehend rose up between my strands with divine power after knowing the joy of pleasure.

“Are these carrots of magic? I’ve been manipulated by it.”

“Uhhhh! Aah, Master Junyan, no!”

“No, I want to taste the Garden’s delicious juices!”

In the end, perhaps I could have sex with any woman other than Kimmy, as long as it would give vent to the desires I couldn’t vent to my sister, that thought crossed my mind. Regardless of all that, I longed for warm, soft muscles and boiling carnal desires, my body and mind in fervent need of the young girl in front of me.

Pressing down on the soft bulge of the panties, the bouncy touch reached my fingertips, and after a moment of rubbing, the warm wetness began to leak outward.

“There’s already juice leaking out of the garden here, and if it continues to get wet, it’s going to flood the carrots!”

“Yah, something that embarrassing…don’t say it…”

I continued to intensify the stimulation of my fingertips, and the surface of the fabric gradually became wet as if it were bubbling with droplets.

“It’s almost like it’s boiling… it’s hot, it’s soft, it’s juicy…”

“Aaaaah, aaaah, you can’t rub it like that!”

I became wicked, doggedly playing back and forth with the tender little hills of my panties, slipping my fingers between the cracks of my healthy, firm thighs and rubbing them upward.

“It’s overflowing, it’s going to overflow, the carrots will be soggy!”

“Then take it off…”

The tearful complaint made me smile with satisfaction, curling my panties around my fingers and slowly pulling them down, the carrot garden below hiding the lush grass and the spring of water that welled up from the source.

“Ah, so shy, yuck, don’t look like that, don’t stare there…”

“So, how about a touch?”

“Aaaah, yah, no way! That place… haven’t even touched myself…”

Directly after touching the soft wintry flesh, the fingertips were entangled in nectar.

“So good, my fingers are covered in your nectar!”

“It’s so embarrassing… mmmmm… the more embarrassing it is, the more it overflows…”

The tip of the middle finger, tangled in mucus and wet, probed into the fiery fountain, clenched together in the virgin’s secret lips.”

“Uhhhh! Aaaaahhhh, no fingers in here… oooh…”

“Sure is tight, since it’s Sonoko’s first time, isn’t it, can I go in?”

“Well, yes, I’ll do anything if it’s Toshihiko…”

This statement made my high arched male very much more thriving.

“Sonoko, I’m going in!”

“Yes!”

I wrapped my arms around her waist and slammed a breath of hot meat into her, and she clenched her teeth, gasping in agony as her virginity was taken from me. Inside her, it was nothing short of a warm, slippery, clenching paradise that reacted immediately and violently to just the slightest movement. The walls of untouched, unsullied flesh withstood the pumping of the foreign object, gradually becoming aware of the task the gods had given her.

“Ahh! Ahhhhh! Yikes, that’s too intense! No, Sonoko won’t be able to take it if we move like this!”

“It’s so, so cozy, Sonoko, I can’t stop!”

I had begun to push my loins roughly.

“Ah, it’s hot! So hot! So hot it’s melting! There, in the body, and in the brain, it’s so hot!”

I didn’t take into account that the other party was a young girl for the first time, and over and over again, I fiercely stabbed deeper and deeper, churning inside. The love liquid mixed with the blood of the broken claw dripped in time with the pumping of the rod.

“Toshihiko rubbed against the inside, ahhhh! Already, it’s dying…”

Perhaps it was because of too much intense thrusting that Sonoko’s senses seemed to be starting to become paralyzed; it certainly wasn’t a case of frigidity, but rather of being able to experience sexual pleasure for the first time, but for the first time.

“It’s so strange, Toshihiko, it’s my first time… and yet it feels so good… ahhhh, so good…”

The tight fleshy jug that bore the rod also squirmed demurely as it felt the taste of officialdom.

“Toshihiko, Sonoko, is that okay? Do you feel comfortable?”

“Ahhhh! Wonderful! It’s so cozy! I… have…”

Even as I was about to succumb to the pressure of urgency, I pushed myself, and in one breath, I accelerated the tempo of my pumping and launched into a final sprint.

“So happy, I’m already, already out of my mind, so comfortable! It feels so good!”

“Sonoko, I’m going to cum!”

“Good! Shoot where you want!”

I pulled out my soon-to-explode manhood against my smoothly curved lower abdomen, and in an instant, an eruption of scalding hot semen fiercely impacted the delicate flesh, and consciousness was catapulted high into the heavens.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

She was limp for a while after her intense first experience, and after seeing the pale red liquid that dangled down to her thighs and the floor, she hastily straightened her clothes and bowed her head in Pei’s hurt.

“Badass, young master Junyan is badass…”

She stood up, muttering under her breath. I regained my sanity after liberating my desires and loathed my nastiness, perhaps too late, but I couldn’t help but apologize.

“I’m sorry…I…”

“Young Master Toshihiko is a big dummy! No matter how much you like someone, it depends on the time and place! Besides, I’m a virgin!”

She paused, took a deep breath, and emphasized aloud again.

“V.I.R.G.I.N, virgin, you know!?”

I nodded wordlessly.

“How can a girl’s first time be done in such a gloomy place!!!”

“I know, don’t scold me again, is my image of me broken?”

“You don’t get it at all, thanks to the fact that I’m having so much pleasure! But a rare first experience in such a not at all romantic place!”

“Ouch! You nerdy goose! Don’t let girls say such things anymore, okay!”

After Sonoko finished speaking she walked out of the warehouse alone outside, leaving me, bewildered, to ponder the significance of her words.

Chapter 4 – Clarifying the River

When I stepped out of the warehouse, the blazing summer sun had begun to slant in the west, and the noon hour had long passed, so I missed lunch again today. However, if I think about it in terms of my uncle’s model, I did enjoy a delicious carrot dish called gardens.

I squinted at the warehouse, listening to the cool breeze that rushed through the mountains and forests, and the elegant melody that harmonized with the breath of majestic nature, and for a moment it reminded me of the marvelous sound I had heard in the early hours of the morning, and the strange sound that Sonoko had heard, too. This long-lost home is full of incredible mysteries.

I wanted to be alone for a while and began to wander aimlessly around the atrium, and after wandering for a while in the subtle music of the intense sunlight and the cool breeze, the figures of three women flashed through my mind.

Kimmy…Jasmine…Sonoko…

In fact, who do I really want to…do something with?

Unable to reach a conclusion, I stopped thinking and sighed.

Go back inside! As I walked back, a young girl ran in my direction.

It was Komoro, with the hem of her pale pink one-piece dress fluttering in the wind and clutching her soi sketchbook to her chest, as if she had just returned from summer tutoring.

The way she holds her sketchbook as if it were a beloved treasure reminds me of her when she was an elementary school student and was always running after me.

“Hope, is summer counseling over?”

“Well, just got back, so, wanted to talk to Toshihiko-san.”

“Sure, but why call me ‘sir’?”

“Oy? So what’s the best way to call it?”

“It’s fine as long as you don’t add honorifics, just call me ‘Jun-brother’ or ‘Jun-hiko-brother’ like before.”

“Because, it always feels childish…”

“Yes? But I hope to always be called that by you.”

“If Toshihiko-san…Jun-brother says so…”

She still doesn’t forget to add.

“But I’m not a child anymore, and I’m not Jun’s sister…”

“Ah? Ah, yes, I know, Kotobuki has long been a young lady of the Pavilion, and my sister is only Gumi.”

“Really get it?”

“Really, really, really well understood!”

I was more or less joking, causing Hope to puff out her cheeks.

“Bummer! I’ve got big problems I need your help with! You still don’t get it at all!”

“Sorry, sorry, so what did you want to talk to me about?”

“That…actually I…uh, this…”

Komoro was shyly playing with the sketchbook on her chest, and I suddenly felt that my cousin’s shyness was really cute. The more I looked at her, the more she looked like Kimmy. She seemed to have struggled a lot to get her beautiful fine hair cut into a shoulder-length doll’s head, and if I had to find any other difference, it was probably that kind of healthy beauty with a slight plumpness to it!

“You’re not allowed to laugh!”

“Sure. Have I ever laughed at something you said before?”

“Uh, well, I said, I want to be a cartoonist…”

I unconsciously opened my mouth wide.

It’s a surprise that Komoro wants to be a manga artist. Is he influenced by me?

“Since Toshi-san is an illustrator by profession, I wanted to ask you to teach me…”

“Ah, that’s certainly fine, but are you serious?”

“Uh-huh! Although I may not be as talented as Toshi, I want to be famous too, so we can have a book signing or an exhibition together! Is that okay?”

Since I also draw for a living, I’ve heard a lot about the woes of so-called manga artists and so on, and the world isn’t as simple as she imagines it to be, so can Kotobuki really survive in the world of manga?

“You seem troubled? Can’t you?”

“No, but, do you know what I do for a living?”

“Well, Jun doesn’t use a pen name right? I probably have all the game softwares, posters, or magazine covers that have your name on them. And often boast to my classmates at school that the artist of this is my cousin…”

I see, I don’t think Shizuko or Yasuyuki’s uncle would have ever seen that kind of east side, so I didn’t think about it, but my name came out a lot.

Perhaps the person who sent the telegram got the information about my place of residence from the same source.

“Wang, have you told your aunt and uncle about all this?”

“No, what happened to Jun’s brother was a secret I kept to myself, so I didn’t even mention it to Chinami… ah, I’m sorry!”

Komoro apologized to me and bowed her head, meaning she was the only one who knew? I smiled softly at her with an apologetic heart.

“That’s okay, it’s much easier for me too, ah, then again, are you going to show me the drawings in the sketchbook?”

My hand went to the sketchbook that Komoro was holding, and she seemed hesitant to let me see it.

“Ah, well… not yet…”

“Wanda!”

Shingo, who had a bad face, stepped in between us.

“Brother?”

“Have you reviewed today’s lesson? You’re the worst at math, aren’t you? If you don’t get there soon, you won’t have time to study for tomorrow’s homework, so sympathize with your teacher’s hard work, okay?”

Shingo’s harsh words demoralized Kotobuki.

“Komoro, go review, and I’ll teach you well about drawing another time.”

“Uh, okay, see you later, Jun-bro!

Komoro smiled and walked back inside, I wanted to go back with her but just as I stepped out my feet I was stopped by Jingu, who stood with a surprisingly serious expression, standing as if he wanted to say something.

“What is it, Jingo? Looking for me?”

“Want to talk to you, is that okay?”

The nervous teenager made a sound that seemed to twist out of the depths of his throat in agony.

“Yeah, well, go in first?”

“Can’t! I don’t want…my sister to hear me, so please here…”

You can’t let your sister hear it? Obviously not a mere thing.

“Dad…Dad and Mom don’t get along, you already knew that, didn’t you? They’re only a couple in name, they’ve been separated for years!”

Once he opened his mouth, he gushed as if he had broken free.

“Dad’s personality is horny, and mom doesn’t listen, so he hides many strange women in the warehouse every day, doing unsavory things. Mom, not to be outdone, got involved with Tanigawa, the head butler…”

In other words, the sound heard in the middle of the night, the sound that made Sonoko’s heart tremble with fear, was actually the gasping sound of a woman who was involved in a desultory affair with her uncle!

“The Kanda family is almost finished, and even Wang and I, we don’t know if we’re mom and dad’s biological children!”

It happened so suddenly that I was dazed and speechless for a moment. Who’s child are Jingo and Xiaowang, I wonder? I hadn’t heard anyone mention it.

“What are you talking about? Of course you are Shizuko’s children!”

“It’s true that I was born from my mother’s pregnancy, but, according to my father, I’m actually Hasegawa’s child, and Kotobuki wasn’t even born to my mother!”

This is ridiculous. I can’t believe this is happening.

“No way!”

He crouched in agony.

“Toshihiko, help me! If this keeps up, I’m really going to violate Xiaowang! I can’t resist the urge in my heart when I think that there is no blood relationship between me and Xiaowang! I love her! I’ve loved her more than anyone since before!”

Sonoko was right. His excited feelings overwhelmed me like a flood.

“You… would surely understand if it were you, right? This is the kind of thing that no one can discuss except with you who has the same trouble!”

Every word of Jingo’s turned into a sharp blade, digging into my wretched heart.

“There’s no need to hide it! You like Kagome, don’t you? I know that very well! Toshihiko, please tell me, what should I do?”

What can I say to him who cries? That he should run away like me? No. How could I say such a thing?

“You’re brother and sister, you can’t engage in transgressive behavior!”

That’s just saying it in a nice way, but it’s also a wake-up call for me.

“Of course I know! But if I were really my father’s child, I would still have nasty blood running through my veins! The child of that lascivious beast who uses women as a means of venting his spleen, and the arrogant sow who has no shame in having an affair!”

“No such words!”

I did my best to calm his high-pitched agitation, but it couldn’t restrain the agitated, pining teenager, who pressed forward to get an answer from me.

“Why not? It’s the truth! Come on, tell me and teach me exactly what to do!”

Shingo hid his face and cried, and I had to come up with a clear answer that he could accept, and could say only the same thing.

“Anyway, you can’t be looking for death because of what happened to Hope…”

“What! I don’t need you to tell me that!”

He ran off after shouting angry curses at me, probably too disappointed in me.

I had no choice but to stand there powerless.

I compared the Kanda siblings to myself in my mind. Shingo and Kotobuki are simply a replica of me and Chinami. For some reason, what happened with Sonoko came chasing back from my mind, and I tended to think in a self-mutilating way, breaking into the memories of last night’s dream.

When I woke up last night, I realized that I had a nightmare, and the truth of the nightmare, I’m afraid, was Ginmi. Ever since both her parents passed away four years ago, Ginmi is the nightmare that lurks in reality.

Left on earth with my sick sister, I could easily have modeled my situation as the final doom of a man and a woman drifting to an uninhabited island, where reason was the only hope left. But my mentally depleted sister innocently needed me, not asking for a physical relationship, of course, but loving me purely as a sister, and craving my love at the same time, but I was still very young, and my mind was all too immature.

Girls’ puberty is the period when physical changes are most significant, and I began to harbor impure imaginations about Kimmy, who was gradually exuding femininity. Yes, I was a bad brother.

If Sumie had been at home at that time, things might have been different. However, she was living in Nagoya at the time, and only came back for the New Year’s Day and New Year’s Eve.

The only time I was able to cope calmly was for the first six months or so, because Mr. Takano, Sumie’s father, was still alive. However, since Mr. Takano committed suicide without leaving a note, the only people living in the house were our siblings and Hasegawa.

Hasegawa had traveled frequently since the death of both parents, and I heard that it was to reorganize my father’s business, but I originally didn’t know much about my father’s work, and he never mentioned it at home, and I didn’t think to ask.

When I became interested in painting and aspired to make a name for myself in the industry, my father did not object, but was proud of me and supported me together with my mother. It is because of the understanding and support of my parents that I am where I am today. These two parents are no longer alive.

During the six months before I left home, I was trapped in a daily nightmare of daydreams, and could only catch my breath in a deep sleep. When I learned that my aunt and uncle’s family from Kobe were moving back, I was anxious with anticipation and despair, expecting my aunt and others to become my new yoke, but despairing that I would not be able to get my hands on Kagami.

Then, that summer night came, and in a flash, I was about to violate Chinami!

In the end, I left the house before my aunt and uncle’s family returned. It was a desperate choice: to violate Kimmy and go to hell? Or should I hold on to my shattered rationality and go crazy?

Caught in the labyrinth of thoughts can not move, I feel anxious and bored, thought first walk around the neighborhood, let the mood stabilize it! I didn’t realize that the more I paced back and forth, the more it added to my worries, and I couldn’t calm down at all.

I walked between the trees and leaned against the cherry blossom tree, which was said to be three hundred years old, and looked up at the sky, taking a big deep breath, a ritual I must do every time I was reprimanded by my parents. But they were gone, and I had abandoned the family three years ago, and in spite of that, I still wanted to do it.

After a while, my mood finally settled down, and after taking another deep breath, I stepped out of the bushes. At that moment, Sumie passed in front of me, pushing Chinami in a wheelchair, and instantly, my mind was again escaping from reality. I couldn’t think of anything other than Katsumi, and everything else was eliminated from my mind, so it’s true that I love my sister Katsumi from the bottom of my heart.

“Brother! It’s Niinii! Sumie, it’s Niinii!”

Gumi called Sumie as a matter of course, I was slightly surprised and watched the two of them, has Gumi even changed her personality?

Kimmy didn’t notice my worry and innocently invited me.

“Brother, come play? Come play with Chinami?”

“Play? To play what?”

“Gumi wants to keep talking to brother for a long time, okay? Let’s talk, okay?”

“Young Master Toshihiko, may I ask you to accompany Ms. Chinami on her walk?”

A walk? I asked as if in a dream, the scene in front of me seemed to be spinning out of control, and I felt almost like I was in a drunken trance.

“Would you please try to avoid the sunlight and walk the lady around the atrium for about thirty minutes?”

“Shall we go for a walk? Let’s go for a walk together, shall we?”

Kimmy’s begging reverberated in my head, and it was even darker in front of me, and my consciousness began to cloud as I involuntarily responded to her.

“Ah, yes, I’ll keep you company…”

“Wow, brother, thanks!”

Once I made a decision, my mood was inexplicably calmer because I had finally opened my heart. Whatever the reason, I wanted to see Kagami’s happy face, but then Kagami said something I couldn’t understand.

“Sumie, you can go now!”

“What are you talking about? Isn’t it like the old days, when the three of you took a walk together?”

“No, Gumi wants to walk with her brother!”

Is it possible that Kimi hates Sumie? No, it can’t be. We’ve been good friends since we were kids. What happened during my absence?

“Young Master Toshihiko, could you please push Ms. Chinami’s wheelchair instead of me?”

“But, Sumie-san…”

“I have other things to do…”

“You’d better hurry up!”

“Yes, Ms. Chinami, then, please!”

With a lingering feeling of not being able to let go, the two of us, brother and sister, went for a walk together, and, nearly halfway around the atrium, Chinami didn’t say a word, just a peaceful smile on her face and the occasional humming of an unknown song on her lips.

At some point, I began to gaze at my sister with pity.

I couldn’t help but open my mouth to ask Gumi as I was about to walk through the circle of the atrium.

“What’s the matter? Wasn’t there something you wanted to tell me?”

Kimmy suddenly became mournful and began to stammer.

“Gumi has a lot of things she wants to say to Niinii, but as soon as she sees Niinii’s face, she doesn’t know what to say… It’s so weird, Gumi… Is it weird?”

“It’s not weird! There’s nothing strange about Kagome!”

I solemnly denied it to her, but it added to her uneasiness.

“But Gumi has really changed… Because Gumi is sick, her breasts are swollen, and the bottom of her stomach sometimes pricks… Gumi doesn’t seem to be the same Gumi as before…”

Broken Content. Kimmy mistook the growth of her flesh for sickness.

“Niinii, will Chinami become like Sumie?”

No, that’s not an illness, it’s evidence that Chinami is becoming an adult and will be just like Sumie as a matter of course, I wanted to say that, but she went on.

“Ginmi, I’ve been waiting for my brother to come back so much that I couldn’t sleep, and I had a dream! In the dream, Katsumi and Niinii were both naked. Why? Are they going to the spring? Or are they going to take a bath?”

Chinami frowned and then giggled, as if to drive me over the edge.

“And then ah, after my brother called out to Ginmi, he hugged Ginmi tightly, and then kept licking Ginmi with his tongue again… It’s weird, isn’t it? Is Katsumi that good? But then you licked the bottom of Katsumi’s stomach, and Katsumi said, “It’s dirty there,” but then you said, “Katsumi’s place is so beautiful,” and licked it even more!”

My sister looked into the distance and continued as if recalling the incident three years ago. My mind became foggy, and it was dark before my eyes. Was Chinami awake that night? Was she blaming me for my crime? Was she trying to crush my dying heart without mercy, so that I wouldn’t be able to get up again? I felt like a convicted criminal.

“But then Gumi became very comfortable and said, “Brother, it’s so comfortable,” and then her brother said, “If you make love to me, you’ll be more comfortable.” Gumi wanted to be more comfortable, so she kept saying, “Make love to me, make love to me,” but her brother wouldn’t make love to me, and then the dream was over! When she woke up, her brother was still not there, so she cried, and her pillow was so wet, and her bottom was wet, too.

The words “make love to me, make love to me” kept spinning in my head.

Stop! Stop, stop, stop it now! This is not my Kimmy!

Just as he was about to collapse, a man appeared in front of him.

“Gumi-sama, it’ll be bad for your health if you don’t go back to your room!”

“Don’t! Chinami wants to be with brother!”

I stood frozen in frustration as Hasegawa easily took the handle of the wheelchair.

“Naru…brother, brother come along to the room…”

Gin…Mai? Is that really Katsumi I’m seeing? Is it really my Chinami? That question delayed my answer, and before I could speak, Hasegawa had already interjected.

“That’s not going to work, it’s time for Gumi-san to take a nap.”

“Gumi doesn’t want to go to sleep, she doesn’t want to wake up without seeing her brother!”

After yelling, perhaps due to over-excitement, Chinami suddenly coughed, whereupon Hasegawa pushed the wheelchair without a second thought.

Taking Chinami, who called out to me with tears in her eyes, Hasegawa walked toward the Buikan, leaving me alone and walking toward the house with a feeling I couldn’t calm down.

With a heavy pace, I walked towards Ginmi’s former room, maybe there I could understand the reason why Ginmi became like this! No, even if she’s not Ginmi I feel doubtful, uneasiness and agitation, as well as the black cloud of doubt, low and heavy over my heart.

Chinami’s former room was tidied up so neatly that not a speck of dust could be seen.

Hoping for some clues…

There’s not even a clear purpose, it’s just looking for “something.” o

Anything to find “something”.

After searching the room, I found many letters in the drawer of the closet, most likely written by Chinami, right? I took out several pieces of paper and read them carefully, word by word. The titles of the letters were all written ‘For my brother’, meaning they were addressed to me.

‘To Niinii: Niinii, how are you? Gumi cries every day, and she’s very sad since her brother is gone, so please come back to Gumi’s side sooner, brother.’

‘To brother: Gumi cried today too… brother, when are you coming back? No one told me, when will Gumi wait? Come back soon, brother!

”To my brother: Gumi is sad because, no matter how sad, she can’t cry tears, my brother is not there, very sad, but no tears, why? Gumi is so sad, so, very sad!”

‘To Niinii: Do you hate Katsumi? Do you hate her so much that she won’t come back? Did you bully her? Why do you hate her? But Katsumi loves you!

”To Niinii: Niinii please don’t hate Gumi, Gumi will be a good boy, Niinii will listen to everything Niinii says, Gumi doesn’t know anything, she didn’t see anything, please don’t worry Niinii, come back soon!”

”To Niinii: Niinii, I’m sorry, please forgive Gumi, Gumi really didn’t see anything, so please don’t torture Gumi anymore, after Niinii’s absence, Gumi feels like she’s dying every day, please, please come back sooner!”

These letters are like a spell binding my heart. Is this the reason why Kimmy has changed? Is it because of me? But what should I do? If I’m around Ginmi, I’ll surely end up in a ghostly hell. Please, don’t blame me anymore! Don’t make me do what I did that night again! I gripped the letter tightly, my heart churning with pain, almost going mad.

After returning to his senses, he realized that someone was behind him, and when he looked back, he didn’t know when Sumie was already standing there.

“Have you read the letter?”

She asked in a voice devoid of angst. I bowed my head and nodded to her.

“Well, I made Gumi so sad, but I… ∶”

“Do you regret it now? Or…”

A cold tone laced with reproach rushed into my ears, and a hasty realization began to defend itself.

“It’s true that Chinami needs me as her only family, but I can’t think of her as a mere sister, and I’m afraid that if I take one wrong step, I might violate my sister…”

“Just such as these? No other reason?”

“Other reasons?”

“Yes, about the death of both your parents…”

Death of both parents? What is Sumie trying to say? Does she know something?

“What are you talking about? I didn’t leave home because of that! Even now, I want to get my hands on Ginmi! As long as I stay at home, I don’t know what I’ll do to Chinami! You wouldn’t understand, would you? Right? You can’t possibly understand!”

“Yes, because I’m a woman and I’m in the position of being violated, I wouldn’t understand how young master Toshihiko feels in any case, I don’t understand how it is possible to be in love with Ms. Chinami and then to sleep in the same bed with another woman without caring about it!”

“Don’t say it, don’t say it!!!”

Manipulated by my passion, I pushed Sumie down onto the tatami mat, and lying horizontally, she stared straight into my eyes with an expressionless face.

“Do you want to violate me? Use me as a venting object to replace Ms. Chinami?”

It was a bolt from the blue. But to be said so in this condition…

“I’m not a decent man, just a lousy one! There are times when I can’t stand it…”

I, to Cheng Jiang, her melancholy eyes, black hair tied up with a yellow bow, the beauty mole in the corner of the eye, slightly thick cherry lips, white tender skin, the chest vaguely glimpsed on the smock, the disordered soft mounds at the bottom of the skirt, fleshy thighs, in all charmed my heart.

“When I was able to treat Chinami as a sister, it was because you were there, and the moment you were gone and Chinami started to become feminine again, I… why did you have to go to some Nagoya!”

“Liar, you’re lying to yourself, you never noticed me in the first place, how long do you want to keep lying to yourself? To protect yourself at the expense of others…”

Shut up, I don’t want to hear it! Don’t say it again!

“Stop it!!!”

I grabbed the bodice of the smock and pulled it violently from side to side, the buttons snapped and popped out, and the lavender bra that encased my ample breasts was violently displayed. At the same time I saw a phenomenon that made my eyes widen, hidden under the white smock on the soft muscle, longitudinally and endlessly carved some kind of reddish pain marks.

“What, what kind of trace is this? A rope? Is it…a mark of being tied up? It can’t be left by SM, right?”

I couldn’t help but laugh mockingly and maniacally at her as I imagined her lewd state.

“Ha ha! Hahahaha! What the heck, how dare you lecture me, you yourself are not enjoying yourself with SM conditioning! Laugh me to death! Hahahahaha!!!”

The tatami mat on a motionless Cheng Jiang, not the slightest refutation of my filthy words, just bite tight trembling lips, eyes slightly moist, I boasted victory like she whispered to mock her.

“Heh heh heh! I didn’t know that Sumie-san turned out to be a masochist and that’s why she came to work as a maid? Surprisingly, she’s a perverted woman who only delights when she’s trapped by her master. hahaha!”

My body is filled with pitch-black desire to take Sumie…to play with this woman at will! I want to completely humiliate her!

“Hey, lowly bitch! Come and lick my rod! It’s your specialty anyway, no, your mouth, how’s that?”

I immediately pulled down my pants and pushed my manhood, which was filled with carnal desire, to the front of Sumie’s face. Without hesitation, she climbed up my manhood with the tip of her tongue, looking extremely pleased, in fact, her skillful tongue play was not only skillful and thick, but also full of love.

“Why don’t you say something like, “Master, please tie me up and play with me as much as you want”? Or, “Sumie likes to be tied up for sex”?”

“If young master Toshihiko…”

She closed her mouth around the rod of fury and spat out soft words.

“I would say if young master Toshihiko was the master, but, my master is…”

Words tinged with sadness brought my consciousness back from the world of madness.

“Sister Sumie…what…what exactly happened?”

“I can’t say, please perceive for yourself…”

The voice shook with pain. I imagined the bitter chicken she had traveled all the way, and began to loathe my own foolishness, Sumie’s pain, precisely this matter.

“Sister Chengjiang, I… I said shameless things…”

“It’s okay, don’t you mind!”

Sumie continued her fiery oral technique, taking in the ball sack, blowing and licking the steel rod, then sucking on the root as the man-root fiercely surged and jiggled high. Then, under her deep-throated sucking, the high-tempered-to-the-limit realization erupted, and the furious rod convulsed, ejecting a huge amount of hot, thick goo.

“Uh-huh! Ah, uh-goo, goo goo goo goo…”

Making grunting noises as she drank the white liquid, she carefully sucked and licked my steel rod, cleaning it up, and not only that, but began to take off the disorganized clothes on her body.

Traces of ropes can be seen everywhere on the voluptuous limbs under bras, skirts, and panties. There is a marvelous lust in the tragic situation that makes you want to avoid your eyes.

“Young Master Toshihiko, what would you do if…out of my own hope?”

“No, that’s impossible!”

“I am an ugly, lowly woman, tainted in mind and body, would you love such a woman? Would you still hold her after putting aside desire and sympathy? Will you heal my parched heart?”

The still undulating tone of his voice asked me, who couldn’t help but be alarmed.

“Don’t say it! Don’t say such sad things anymore, the Chengjiang sister in my heart has never changed from before to now, is the most gentle, virtuous and perfect woman! Not ugly at all! She’s not cheap at all! Her body and mind are as clean as white paper!”

I was on the verge of tears hearing her say such sad things.

“So, ugly, lowly women, defiled in body and mind, are not qualified to be held by you!”

This is simply self-abusive language, why does she push herself so hard!

“It’s not! I, because it’s Sister Sumie…I want you!”

“Young Master Toshihiko, please embrace me…”

The murmur of a whisper held warmth of feeling, and her request that I…

I reached out and leaned over her breasts to acknowledge the softness of the touch, and as the pink, plump breasts seemed to melt into my palm, I realized that both of my hearts were beating fast.

“Mmmmmm, Jun… young master Junyan! Aaaah, please rub as much as you want…”

My ten fingers had long since wandered to rub between my plump breasts, gasping sweetly and boiling my spirit and flesh even more, what kind of noises would she make later? The mere thought of it made a great deal of blood flow in between my femurs.

“Aaaaahhh, just rubbing my breasts, it’s, ah, flowing out there…”

While kneading my breasts with my left hand and rotating the tips, I reached out with my right hand and slid it down my thighs to my lower abdomen, where the secret garden below was already wet with dew, turning it into a warm wet plain.

“Already, already, can’t hold back, hurry up…”

Instead, I tried to make her anxious, drawing circles with my fingertips on the warm, wet, soft flesh, occasionally pressing my fingertips inside the twitching secret cavity, and the skin, which had been colored only by the rope marks at first, gradually tinted to a cherry color, and the perfect limbs of her body twisted sultrily as her breathing began to change to moans.

“Ah, ahhhhh! Toshihiko, come in my…”

She doesn’t refer to me as “Young Master Junyan”, perhaps it’s the mutual desire for each other’s affection that has broken her stubborn notion! I’m very relieved, but of course, I don’t want to give it back to her yet, so I’ll let her worry about it for a little while longer. In fact, I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but once I see such an adorable Sumie, I can’t help but want to do something bad.

My hands left no room to explore every corner of her seductive flesh, vermilion lips, flushed cheeks, plump breasts, firm nipple tips, tender abdomen, fragrant lower abdomen grass, crystal wet between the femurs, rounded buttocks, drooping juicy thighs. It was as if I wanted to take all of Sumie into my hands, enjoying the softness to the fullest.

She finally seemed overwhelmed by my caresses and pearly pleaded with me.

“Please…please, stick your…in…mine…come…”

“Ahhhh, yes, I’m going in!”

“Please, Toshihiko…”

After spending a lot of time caressing her body, I hurriedly pulled down my own pants and pressed my steel-straight, fiery hot rod against the wintry slit that had become wet from spewing out a lot of love nectar.

“Ahhh! It’s in, it’s in, Toshihiko’s in Sumie!”

Parting the soft lips of thick flesh, the rod zip zip zip zip zip zip invaded deeper, Sumie’s body has been transformed into a wet sticky burning furnace to entertain me, trembling and writhing walls of flesh gently wrapped around the male root, bringing me into the sea of sensual energy.

“So big, so thick, this, this is young master Junyan’s…? Ah, ah, so great! Great comfort!”

“Sumie’s inside is also so comfortable, hot and wet, it’s perfect!”

“Thank you, thank you, Sumie is so happy to be complimented by Toshihiko, again, again, harder, drive Sumie crazy!”

I supported Sumie’s writhing body, raised my back and started to gyrate. She also swings her hips herself to increase the pleasure.

“Ahhhh! Harder, harder! Ahh! Rub my boobs too…”

“Well, I’ll give you the utmost pleasure!”

As Sumie hoped, I jabbed my waist and rubbed her breasts.

“Into the innermost part, the body, the inside of the body, by Toshihiko thrusting in! Uh-ah! Again! Harder! Come on, fuck me harder!”

She skillfully danced the dance of the flesh to the beat I was playing, both gracefully and passionately, as we enjoyed each other’s pleasures and were entwined in a visceral heat.

“Toshihiko! I, I can’t, I can’t, I’m leaking, I’m leaking!!!”

“Uh-huh…me too…”

“Give me hot lava! Inside…inject it into Sumire!!!”

My angry rod expanded even more grandly, and all of a sudden, Cheng Jiang also climbed to the top.

“Uhhhhhhhhhhhh~!!!”

She curled up and let out a siren cry that went straight to her nostrils as she fired for the second time after inside her mouth, a huge amount of thick goo spilling out from deep inside her.

Until the leaping of the rod rested a little, we remained together as one enjoying the afterglow.

After five minutes, Sumie gently left my body and wiped my rod clean with the lavender panties that came with my bra before putting the dirty underwear back on. I watched her movements with unblinking eyes, and she looked back at me with moist eyes.

“Junyan, thank you… I’m still an ugly and lowly woman, a woman whose body and mind are defiled to the core. Yet, you’re still willing to love a woman like me, to embrace me without desire or sympathy, to heal my parched heart…”

Still the tone of sadness. Helplessness and despondency tightly bound my chest.

“So, you need to stop saying such mournful things, and I’ll be more… to you in the future.”

But she just interrupted me with a smile, an extremely sad one.

“Toshihiko, I love you too, but I’m not qualified to accept your love, I’m a woman who sold her spirit and flesh to the devil, and I can’t live an ordinary life anymore!”

“What do you mean? Tell me okay?”

“I am a female Rakshasa now, and I must survive in a world of madness and hatred in the future as well, the day I accomplish my purpose will be the end of my life, and it is precisely because you are willing to love such a woman that you want to involve you even less. No, it’s that I can’t involve you, we’ve long been people from different worlds, so I wish you happiness…”

She said no more, just hugged me tightly before immediately letting go, taking two, three steps back, tears streaming down her cheeks as they came out of her eyes.

“You are the one I love, and I want you to be happy more than anyone else, and I will pray for you as long as I live.”

As a result, she stopped making intimate gestures. Frustrated with a sense of powerlessness, I could only leave behind Sumie, who had carefully cleaned up the mess, and left Chinami’s room alone.

Chapter 5: Shizuko

I walked down the hallway breathlessly, wanting to take a cold shower to cool my mind.

Without thinking, I pulled open the glass door of the dressing room, and that’s when my heart poofed. She was wearing orange underwear, her back was turned to me, just in time to take off her cute cut bra, and under her bikini panties, her delicate and rounded buttocks were slightly raised, permeated with the sexy scent of youth; the sound of the door opening made Xiao Wang shrink up, and as the hooks and clasps of her bra were completely open, the shoulder straps slipped off her shoulders as she moved, and the cups partly fell down, so her small but firm breasts were caught by me in the act of looking at them.

Kotobuki stood still after she let out a small cry of “Oi”. Her expression was one of surprise and shame, but at the same time, I felt that it contained something like a joyful smile, only, a sharp cry of sadness escaped from her lovely lips.

“Yaaaah!”

“Yeah, sorry!”

I closed the door in a panic, but the half-naked posture of Komoro was still burning in front of my eyes. Her body, which was in the transition period from a young girl to an adult woman, displayed rounded and subtle curves, and the immature sex appeal unique to an adolescent girl struck me right in the head, ah, of course, not only in the head, which is a man’s sad nature.

“That sucks!”

I was mortified she looked up at the ceiling, greatly embarrassed, only to hold my head on the spot.

I’ve only just had sex with Sonoko and Sumie, but my femur doesn’t know how to get tired, and instead of trying to cool down my mind, I ended up with my whole body sizzling.

Anxious to find a place to rest, I ran down the corridor, worrying that I had nowhere to go, and when I passed near the guest room, I bumped into Yasuyuki’s uncle, who was wearing an evil grin on his face.

“Yo Toshihiko, I heard there was a big fight with Jasmine, right?”

“It has nothing to do with Uncle!” I answered him coldly with a bored expression.

“It won’t be okay, you both need to relieve your boredom, right? How about it? Want to keep me company?”

Normally, I wouldn’t want to deal with my uncle, but at this point in time, I might as well be possessed of something. What my heart longed for the most was Chinami, but I repeatedly had sex with the women around me. I’ve been avoiding reality ever since I returned home, and even if in the end this feeling of self-disgust will make the spirit verge on insanity, I think it’s the result of course! Since there’s no reason to refuse, and it’s more normal than meeting up with Jasmine, Sonoko, Sumie, and Kotomitsu, I nodded my head.

“Yeah…”

“Hmph, then, follow me!”

I followed him. My uncle walked out into the atrium, shook his fat body and continued on, then stopped in front of the warehouse.

“Do you know what this warehouse is really for?”

I shook my head speechlessly, were there any real or fake uses for the warehouse? My mind crossed over to what Shingo had said.

“This warehouse was used by your father, and your father’s father…no, it has been used by the family masters since it was built, and as for now, the user is me.”

Uncle proudly states, does he feel proud that he knows the secrets of the warehouse? Or did he think he was the new master of the family?

“Let’s go in first!”

My uncle, who was even more cheeky than usual, walked into the warehouse with light, eerie footsteps without asking me what I wanted to do.

The warehouse still stagnated with rust-scented humidity and a faint odor floated through it.

“What a big warehouse! And it’s full of rags. I also thought about the significance of this warehouse. Then I investigated it a bit, and I found out a very interesting fact… Your clan’s secret… it’s not that serious, but it’s something that can’t be publicized…”

He said it in a very serious way, and it seemed that there was, indeed, something unseemly about it.

Uncle walked towards the interior of the warehouse, then stopped in front of a pillar and kept his toes on the floor, a marvelous hollow ringing sound that echoed through the vast house.

“How? Got it? This is the only place that sounds different, right? It’s the basement, there’s a secret room down here! And when I found it, there was a huge but surprisingly light wooden box pressed against it… Never mind, it doesn’t matter… let’s go down and see!”

I didn’t care about any family secrets, but I was attracted by my uncle’s mysterious words and decided to follow him into the basement.

Upon opening the door disguised as a floor, there was a damp, disgusting stench that wafted through the warehouse, the same stench that smelled like shit and urine. My uncle urged the frowning me downward, and below the door, there was an ancient wooden staircase leading down into the darkness.

After walking down the creaking stairs, my uncle said he had to get ready and disappeared into the darkness. I had never known a basement existed in my life, so of course I had no idea what was in the darkness, so what was going to happen later?

“To show you my collection, the carnival opens when the lights come on!”

A dirty laugh came from the darkness. Overlapping with the unpleasant echo, an indistinct woman’s moan also entered the ear. This, I’m afraid, is the same original voice that struck fear into Sonoko’s heart as last night’s!

With a clicking metallic sound, the intense light suddenly made my eyes go dizzy.

Soon, after getting used to the brightness, seeing-

A young girl lay on the stone-built floor, her trapped and bound skin covered in abrasions, and she was moaning feebly as a wooden rod was thrust into her upper and lower holes.

I turned my face back, not wanting to look at the ghastly light, only to have another victim enter my eyes.

The young girl here, with her secret part hanging high and trapped, has a hose inserted into her ass hole, which seems to be flowing in with a large amount of water, making the young girl’s belly swell up like a pregnant woman.

“Welcome to my castle, heh heh heh, how’s my collection?”

The beast of desolation, as Jingu called it, came toward me with a cheeky grin.

“You, you’re crazy, you’re insane!!!”

“On what basis do you say that? Where is the definition of normal? Can you definitively assert that you are normal?”

“To, at least, I wouldn’t do such a thing!”

“So what? Inside you, dirty desires are swirling, but think about it, is it really dirty? The benchmark of judgment in your mind is nothing more than rational morality, the definition of which is so conventional and uninformed, and you dare to say that you are not giving up your right to think and are in self-imposed bondage?”

My uncle’s subdued words even made me even think about my feelings for Chin Mei and what he had done with my aunt. I faltered and couldn’t help but step backward.

“Toshihiko, you’re from this world too, you fully possess our qualifications and qualities, just like your two parents and clansmen, imagine what your parents did here, your father even with Shizuko…”

“Liar! It’s so uncharacteristic! You make it sound like you’ve got me all figured out!”

“It’s clear to me that you ran away from home because you were afraid to face who you really are, right? You ran away from home in fear of the nature that lurks in your heart, am I right?”

“It’s not! It’s not!”

“It can’t be wrong, but I’m not blaming you, it’s just a good thing that you’re discovering who you really are, it means the liberation of your spirit and opens the door to a brand new life, and yes, I used to be the same way…”

My uncle began to tell stories of his old days, which were nearly forty years ago.

The Kanda family in Kobe lived next door to a poor family, but there was a cute little girl who always called her uncle “neighbor brother” and was very close to him. Her uncle, who was still a teenager at the time, was very fond of her and violated her, and it is said that he took the girl’s virginity by brute force and poured the pleasures of adulthood into her weak and immature body in abundance.

“That girl’s hair hadn’t even grown back yet before she rolled her eyes and had an orgasm!”

My uncle, who sniffled proudly, startled me as he continued.

“However, the girl then committed suicide, and it was then that I realized something, that I was the one who could influence the life and death of others! Of course, it’s not fun to go to the end of the road every time. Later, I used money to achieve my desires, so far, I have bought dozens of women as my toys. The women you see, to put it bluntly, are only willing to be my toys for the sake of money, and this is the so-called GIVE AND TAKE it.”

He’s crazy, this man is an absolute maniac! Moreover, the women here were even willing to endure abuse for money alone! The blood in his body couldn’t help but flow backwards.

“I’m tired of playing with these, it’s almost time to go find new toys to play with, so I thought I’d ask you to come along this time to establish a new order for this world, what do you think, to assist me?”

“Cut the jokes! Don’t treat me like I’m the same as you! Of course I refuse!!!”

After cursing under my breath, I climbed the steps without looking back, trying to return to the normal world as soon as possible.

“Wahahahaha! Toshihiko, I’ll wait for you to come back to me, anytime! You’re of this world!”

The voices of the uncle and the woman transformed into the demon’s lordly screams, coming after him from behind.

I ran out of the warehouse, panting hard, a cold sweat breaking out on my forehead and all over my body, a stabbing pain in the back of my head. Adjusting to the tumultuous breathing, I nearly fell to my knees.

The sun had long since set in the west, the full moon hung high in the night sky, and the wailing of the maidens still echoed in my ears, it was a nightmare. No, no, this is reality, the voices I hear now are not the voices of the warehouse underground, where are they coming from?

I pricked up my ears and realized that the source was the back of the warehouse, and what was there?

To identify the source of the sound, I carefully walked around to the back of the warehouse.

And that’s when the last thing I wanted to see was the sight of-

The teenager crouched down in front of the young girl, whose back was pressed against the trunk of a large tree, and pulled up her one-piece dress, rolling down her kapok panties, his fingertips, playing with the young girl’s lower abdomen.

“Brother, brother, don’t! Brother, stop!”

“Hmph! Is Wang’s pussy so wet already? A woman’s pussy gets wet when she’s turned on by molestation!”

“That’s not true… no, Hope… there’s no excitement at all…”

“Then why is it wet? Did you steal a pee-pee?”

Thin silver filaments glistened in the moonlight on the slime-wrapped fingers.

Komoro and Jingo, the brother and sister of the Kanda family, fell into the situation that Sonoko was referring to. Hiding behind the shade of a tree, I drooled as I watched things change.

“No, no, I didn’t steal the pee-pee, brother, stop it…”

Suffering from both verbal and fingertip insults, Komoro cried through her tears.

“Hahaha, yeah, it’s not peeing because you often masturbate while looking at Toshihiko’s picture, which means doing lewd acts with Toshihiko, right? You imagine being molested by Toshihiko and your pussy gets wet, right?”

“No, no, don’t say anything like that!”

“Why can’t I, but Toshihiko can? You’d let Toshihiko do it if it was him, right? Shake your own ass and say please do it with me!”

What is he…saying?

“No, Hope won’t say anything…”

“Crap! Of course I won’t let you talk! Hope is mine alone and will not be given to anyone else! You’re mine!”

“, A.A., brother!”

Tears of despair streamed from her eyes as she endured the insistent play of a wildly aroused Shingo on her dirt-covered lower abdomen. After a while, Shingo began to cover the strokes with his hands, and Kotobuki’s resistance gradually turned to panting.

Brother and sister in incestuous love, and the thought that this dismal light would come to me at some time or other made it impossible for me to look on any longer. But neither was I in a position to run between the two and force them apart, and my reason wailed that there was no other way but to run away.

I stumbled to the atrium and knelt helplessly.

It’s crazy that everyone in this family, every…

An uncle who uses money to play with women for pleasure, a brother and sister who indulge in forbidden lust…

But it’s just the Kanda family, isn’t it? Or maybe the Takakihara family is in the same boat? My uncle’s voice echoed in my head.

My people, my two parents, my father and Aunt Shizuko, the sickening blood of the Takagihara clan?

What about me…myself?

I stumbled to my feet and headed for the house, no, I started running wildly.

I went straight to my old room, the place where this nightmare began, and conversely perhaps the only place I could inhabit. The memories of my childhood, before the nightmare, must have soothed my soul.

As I ran past the front of the locker room, the light was on inside, and there was no sound of a shower or water. Instead, there were indistinct, suspicious female voices and Shizuko’s high-pressure, angry words, and I stopped in my tracks and strained my ears to listen.

“Well? Almost time to be honest?”

What?

“Uh-uh…mmm…oooooh…”

The sound just now? Could it be…Jasmine? I quietly walked up to confirm the situation.

The dressing room held two pieces of clothing, one for Shizuko and the other a yukata worn by Jasmine.

“Hmph! You’re so tough. Let’s see how much longer you can be tough.”

“Oooh…mmmmmm…yahhhh…”

What, exactly, was Shizuko doing? Although she didn’t quite dare to peek into the bathroom with a woman inside, she couldn’t help but secretly open the bathroom door.

There were two naked bodies facing each other in the white smoking bathroom, Jasmine and Auntie.

“Hmph, let’s see how long you can hold back. Watch me!”

” ohh.hh., ohh. wah wah wah wah~ Oh. A.!”

“Speak quickly! What was the purpose of coming here! Throwing yourself at Toshihiko for what, exactly!?””

Auntie looked down at Jasmine, who was paralyzed on the floor, and questioned her with a sadistic grin. Jasmine gritted her teeth and endured, her hands tied behind her back with leather gauntlets, her sensitive parts were being roughly played with and she moaned in agony as tears poured down her face, her beautiful breasts jiggling with every twist of her body.

Witnessing this unpleasant scene, the back of my head felt as if it had received a painful beating, and at the same time, I was seething with anger.

I am the only one who can protect Jasmine in this crazy home! It is my duty to guard her. No one can defile her!

I jumped violently into the shower.

“Shizuko! What are you doing!?”

“Oy vey, Prince Charming has made his debut!”

My aunt only gave me a slight glance and immediately turned back to abusing Jasmine Scent, simply not giving me a second thought.

“Let go of Jasmine! She’s not like the others in the house and has no intentions!”

“Whoa? Oh, yeah? This girl gets her pussy rubbed by me and a big puddle of nasty juice hangs out, her mouth is full of hardness on top, but her mouth is quite uncharacteristic on the bottom… surely you know more about this kind of thing than I do?”

“Auntie!”

My aunt suddenly gave me a hard stare.

“Auntie”? Don’t call me that!”

“Whatever, let go of Jasmine!”

“You don’t seem to know where you stand, do you? Watch what you say! If I don’t like your attitude, I’ll break this girl’s pussy!”

“Uh-huh! Yah, wahhhhhh!”

Auntie made a fist and pressed it into Jasmine’s secret slit, making a gesture to lemon her fist in, almost hard enough to drill her wrist in.

I had no choice but to acquiesce to what my aunt said.

“I see, what do you want me to do?”

“Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! That’s right, wouldn’t it be nice to be good from the start? Take off your clothes first!”

“For, why?”

“Cut the nagging and do as I say!!!”

I had no choice but to start undressing, humiliated by the fact that I was already hot and alive between my thighs, the look of which was seemingly obvious from the outside of my bottoms. My aunt quickly leaned over to me, completely naked, and once I was naked, she gazed at my erect manhood without looking away.

“You’ve got a naughty little brother too! But it’s great, it’s just like Axeman’s brother, come on, lie down, on your back of course, uh huh huh…”

My aunt, who was smiling in a bewitching manner, kept licking her lips with her tongue and laying on my lower abdomen, holding the male root that was rising up to the sky with her hands as if she was lovingly holding it.

“Shizu, Uncle Shizuko? What’s to be done?”

“Told you to call me Shizuko, wow, huh, it’s majestic, it’s still throbbing, uhhhh, the touch… it’s exactly the same as Brother Axeman!”

After licking the tip of the steel rod with her tongue, she took the whole rod into her mouth.

“Don’t, stop! We’re nephews and uncles!”

“How many times do I have to tell you not to call me aunt and uncle! There is no blood relationship between us at all! The same goes for brother Axeman!”

My aunt bit down lightly when she finished, and sharp pain stabbed through my entire body.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuga! Waaaaaahhhh~…”

Wailing, I was immediately rewarded by my aunt’s thick tongue play, a lustful, entwined tongue, wet and lubricated with saliva. I was forced to taste the magnetic flavors of pain and pleasure, tension and relaxation, and horror and delight, and I could do nothing to resist.

But neither my father nor I are related to Shizuko? In other words, we’re not related to each other as nephews and uncles?

Maybe it was because she was used to the taste of oral sex, her tongue technique gave me immense relief, uncle and nephew, as soon as the shackles of blood relatives were lifted from this forbidden affair, my thinking stopped moving at the same time, and my uncle and nephew’s tongue, etched into the deepest recesses of my body, the magnetic flavor of obscenity.

“Uh-uh, uh-goo, ah-ha, brother…brother Axeman…uh-uh…”

She took my man-root, as if it were her father’s, her own brother’s man-root, and was thrilled. What is the ulterior motive between father and aunt?

“Already, it’s already so… ah ah, clear juices are leaking out, and uh ah, my pussy is hot and getting wet too!”

The voluptuous aunt, lustfully swaying her willow waist, hot in the act of oral sex, so beautiful! Am I mesmerized by this slut? Or was I just confused by the steam in the bathroom? In tandem with the blowing and sucking beats, the internal pressure of the mouth rose sharply.

“Can’t help it? Ahhhh, give it to me, make me drink tons of hot, thick goo!”

“Goo wah, goo ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah~!!!”

The volcano erupted violently as it was sucked by her mouth.

“Uh-poof! Mmmm coo coo…mmmm coo, coo coo, mmmm…”

The intense spurting ended, occasionally drooping like a seizure with the remaining thick juice, but still Auntie refused to take her mouth away, sucking up every last drop, pressing to carefully lick up the goo that had attached itself to the steel rod.

“Whew, that was delicious and, well, so refreshing…”

I’m afraid she had the intention of making me rise again. Despite the massive ejaculation I had just finished, the manhood between my legs was still hot, quickly turning into a reddish-black burning rod.

My aunt sat up and sank deep into her waist, and her erect rod was easily swallowed into the delicate jug of flesh. Not only did I not resist, but I was mesmerized by the subtle sensations.

“Uh, ahhhh! Brother, brother, uh-goo, uh-oh, stick it in, ah! So thick, so big! Ahhhh! Brother’s rod is so thick and long, it’s so good!”

I was completely dominated by her aura and all I could do was enjoy it and wriggle my body.

“Ahhh! Ahhhh! Rubbing in Shizuko’s flesh! Aaaah! So hot! So hot! Ahhhhhh! So good!”

With every dip of her waist, deeply sheathed in the meat pole, the deepest part of her body slammed into the tip of the steel rod.

“Into the innermost…uh wow! Into the innermost part! Yay, yay! Can’t help it, can’t stop! Brother, Shizuko’s going to burn!”

The lashing of my waist became more intense, the tightness of the walls of flesh, the stretching and pressing of the soft lips, and also a breath of air to reach the very top, my back was like an electric shock of pleasure, so that I could not help but roll from side to side.

“Ahhh! Ahhhh! Is Shizuko’s pussy comfortable? Does it feel good?”

“Uh-uh, Shizu, Shizuko! I…can’t…help it anymore!”

“Ahhhh! That’s right! Call me Shizuko! Call my name again! It’s going to leak! Shizuko is going to leak when I’m called by my brother’s name!!!”

She had completely confused me with my father, and what had happened between them was beyond my ability to think about, and now, I wanted to spit out a high-tempered fire of only lust inside of Shizuko.

“Ahh! Ahhhh! So, so cozy! It’s leaking, it’s leaking! Leaking~!”

Shizuko, before she climbed to the pole, rocked her hips frantically, and the deep lassoing coupled with the gyrations made my femur hurt like it was going to split. But it was another kind of pleasure, my consciousness, already manipulated by her in the palm of her hand.

“Goooooo! Shoot, shoot out~!”

“ohhohhohh.！！”

Spewing hot, thick plasma deep inside, Auntie climbed to a supreme orgasm, leaping secret lips, strangling all the semen without a drop left.

Possessed by sensual indulgence, one or two ejaculations could not satisfy me, so we remained joined, once again voraciously enjoying the wonders of sex.

In hindsight, the white smoke that filled the bathroom might not have been mere water vapor, but smoke produced by stimulants with hallucinogenic effects. I had indulged in my aunt’s ripe flesh again and again in a frenzy, and the large amount of thick liquid released each time was enough to prove it. My aunt took my thick liquid, straightened her back and forgot to moan loudly, and the endless carnal acts catalyzed obscene desires, and I fell into a trance of dorsal virtue.

Chapter 6: Berserkness and Abomination

By the time we were liberated, it was late at night.

Jasmine and I stumbled back to the guest room, both exhausted.

“Jasmine, are you okay?”

“What about you?” Jasmine, who had a wooden expression, finally spoke.

“I don’t know how to apologize to you, it was my fault for bringing you to a place like this, this home is cursed and the people who live here are crazy, that’s why I ran away then! Jasmine, I’m sorry, I really am!”

I didn’t know the truth about blood relations, but the forbidden experience of having a near-rape with my aunt made it impossible for me not to loathe myself. I began to disbelieve that I was normal, and if I continued like this, I would become like Jingo in violating my own sister.

I guess I shouldn’t have come back after all. If I hadn’t come back, this wouldn’t have happened to me, and Jasmine must have felt the same way.

“This home is cursed, the people who live here are crazy, that’s why I left home…”

I stare at Jasmine’s face.

“Jasmine, let’s run away, let’s run away together, didn’t you say you wanted me to be responsible?”

“Oi? That’s…”

“I’ll take responsibility, it’s my fault for subjecting you to such cruelty, so let’s run away, both of us, and live together in Tokyo!”

It was almost like I was begging her. In order to escape this hell on earth and find myself again, I needed someone to back me up. I wasn’t strong at all, and without Jasmine’s presence, I think I would have fallen into a bottomless pit.

Moreover, I am not in a state to be able to walk out of this house openly, but on the contrary, it is fit for me to shrink and run away in the night, and on the morrow there will be all kinds of obstacles to test me again, and the only way to run is to take advantage of this night.

“Toshihiko, I…”

“You’re not going to say no, are you? You won’t say you want to refuse, will you? No, I won’t let you say it! You’re my fiancée, as good as new, and I won’t let anyone else have you! No one can contaminate your body!”

I hugged Jasmine tightly.

“Jasmine, I love you, let’s get married!”

“Toshihiko…” said Jasmine with a troubled expression in my arms.

“I-I’m not the woman you think I am…”

I was speechless, but the kind of woman she was was not the issue, as long as she loved me and accepted my love, I didn’t care about anything else, even though it was wishful thinking on my part.

Jasmine shivered in the crook of my arm for a long time before whispering to me.

“But, I love you too…”

I hugged her tightly once again; we were no longer betrothed in disguise, but truly unmarried!

“Jasmine, go get ready, tonight the two of us will escape…”

After embracing each other for a while, we started to pack up quickly.

We waited for an opportunity and quietly left the guest room.

Through the silent corridor, safe and sound, we were almost at the entrance hall when Jasmine suddenly swallowed. Ahead of us stood a figure.

“Who?”

The one who appeared from the shadows was Sumie.

“Sister Chengjiang, can you please get out of the way? We need to get out of here!”

“Two together?”

“Yes, Jasmine and I, the two of us are going back to live in Tokyo!”

My words clouded Sumie’s eyes.

“It should be Kagami-sama who accompanies you, shouldn’t it? Are you going to abandon Ms. Chinami again? Are you really cruel?”

Her words were like a sharp blade in my throat, what to do? I was troubled.

Even if I ask Jasmine to marry me, I still can’t give up Katsumi. As long as Jasmine is around, I won’t think twice about Katsumi, right? Besides, it’s better for both of us to take care of Katsumi together.

Jasmine would surely understand, for she had known the anguish of my heart when we first met.

“I’m taking Chinami with me too, Chinami is my most important sister, I can’t leave her in a home like this, Jasmine-san, is that okay?”

She didn’t answer, just nodded softly.

“I’ll go bring Chinami, sorry, wait for me outside the door!”

“Toshihiko…”

Jasmine looked at me uneasily, and I gave her a thumbs up, cheering her on.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be right behind you, hurry to the door!”

I ran into the atrium and darted the closest distance to the Bujinkan.

“Chinami, wait for me!”

I’m running to Gumi right now, running to get Gumi back, which is very exciting for me.

As soon as I arrived at the Buikan, I called out to Kimmy.

“Gumi, Gumi, asleep?”

No answer.

“Ginmi! Kimmy!”

Even though I raised my voice, there was no response. Were you sleeping too much? I went into the private room.

The lights in the villa went out and were plunged into darkness. Chinami’s room was also dark, and there was no sign of Chinami in the room, which was vaguely illuminated by the moonlight streaming in through the window.

“Kimmy? Where have you been? Ginmi! You weren’t there? Ginmi!?”

Still no answer.

“To where?”

I touched Chin Mei’s quilt, there was still a trace of warmth, she should have been sleeping here just now, so now she? Suddenly, Yasuyuki’s grinning uncle crossed my mind.

“Could it be… an uncle?”

I didn’t want to imagine that my uncle had laid hands on Chinami in any way, but I couldn’t rule it out, especially after hearing what Jingu had said.

“Go to the warehouse and investigate!”

Strongly suppressing the uneasiness that welled up in my heart, I rushed to the warehouse.

The warehouse was silent and isolated in the low-hanging night.

“Chinami, here?”

I’ve long since lost the sound of Wanda’s voice. Those two, what happened to them in the end? I can only pray that they don’t go to the worst possible end, and now I don’t have time to worry about Kotobuki.

As I approached the door of the warehouse to open it, the bushes next to me… Suddenly the scent of jasmine appeared.

“Jasmine! What’s wrong? Didn’t I tell you to go out first?”

“I’m…worried about you…”

I don’t know what she’s worried about me for, but in any case, it’s also dangerous to let her walk outside the house alone again now, and if she’s found out by her uncle and mother, she’ll not only incur unnecessary misunderstanding, but may also be treated harshly.

“I can’t help you, by the way, Ginmi isn’t at the Buikan, I thought maybe she’d be here, do you know where she is?”

I deliberately didn’t mention my uncle, pretending to bring it up offhandedly, and she frowned bitterly.

“It’s okay, I’ll just go in there and find out!”

Not wanting to let Jasmine’s scent bother me anymore, I turned my head and gazed carefully at the warehouse.

“I-I’ll go with you!”

I nodded my head vigorously, it couldn’t have been better because we were going to be living together in the future.

“Okay, let’s go!”

The warehouse remains an unoccupied dump.

“No one is.”

“Damn it! Where did Ginmi go! Ginmi! Katsumi!!!”

I yelled and screamed to relieve my anxiety about not being able to find Kimmy.

The darkness of the warehouse souped vainly back to my screams, when-

“Did you hear something?”

“Oi? Uh, I don’t know…”

Jasmine tilted her head, but the sound of Gummi’s voice did come into my ears. There was no one in front of me, but I was sure it wasn’t a hallucination, so where was it coming from?

There’s only one place where a human voice would come out, and that’s where it is!

“It’s under the floor, it must be the basement!”

I glanced at Jasmine, and she had an extremely sad look in her eyes.

Kimmy’s voice was indeed coming from under the floorboards. I lay on my back, half-frantic, desperately searching for the entrance, which I clearly remembered perfectly during the day.

Finally, I found an unnatural hollow plank.

“There! This is it! This is the entrance to the basement!”

I easily uncovered the boards and the entrance to her lower chamber immediately appeared. I immediately jumped into the secret cavern with its wide open mouth, and after walking down a short flight of steps, I came to the stone-built confined space. This place is a symbol of the Takakihara family’s crazy and lewd side. The basement, which is quite deep inside, has dimly lit light bulbs hanging everywhere, presenting an otherworldly world where light and darkness are confused.

Kimmy’s voice was still audible, and I called out to her in the direction of the sound.

“Kimmy? Where are you? You’re there, right?”

Suddenly, a strong light struck me, and I was dazzled by a strong direct frontal light.

Soon, after my eyes became accustomed to the light, the form of a young girl sitting miserably on a tricorn was reflected in my eyes.

“This, this!?”

The young girl in an open yukata with an expressionless face bound and biting the long hair that hung down to her face in her mouth was Kagami!

Bastard! It’s an abomination! Why is this happening! I burst into tears of remorse.

“Kimmy!”

She didn’t answer either, just looked at me with moist eyes.

“You have indeed returned, Toshihiko, welcome to my kingdom!”

Sitting across from Chinami on the tricorn, the naked Uncle Konnichiwa said to me as if nothing had happened. I was shaking all over with anger, did uncle…to my Chinami…take Chinami’s purity!

“What the hell are you trying to do! Let go of Chinami!”

“Why? Does Gumi have a disgusted look on her face? Look, she’s even pleasurably drooling sweet juice!”

The wooden horse glowed from being stained with the wet, moist liquid, and maybe the liquid did seep out of Gumi’s body, but so what!

“Damn it, cut the crap! I’m going to kill you right now and save Kagome!”

My brain rose up with anger, and I was filled with indignant murderous intent towards my uncle, but he didn’t mind my anger, and he was still talking under his breath.

“Heh! How brave! Is this the noble love of brother and sister? It’s not, it’s ugly and distorted forbidden lust, wahahahaha!”

“Shut up! I’ll kill you!!!”

The rationality in my head seemed to snap and I stood up, ready to charge at him in one breath.

However, just as I took a step, I suffered a sudden and strong blow from behind.

My consciousness, plunged into the deep darkness…

So dark…

Voices? A sound? What sound?

The sound of water?

Like, so cozy…

Here, where is it?

Himeemae no Izumi? Or, my room?

Gin…Mai? That’s right. Katsumi?

“Uhhhh… brother…”

Upon regaining consciousness, I almost fainted.

Because Gumi is sucking my manhood right in front of my eyes, this kind of thing, this is a dream, right?

No! It wasn’t a dream, Katsumi was indeed there, opening her mouth to take in my manhood, and, with it towering high between my legs, I fell to the floor unable to move with my hands trapped by a belt.

My loveliest Chinami, holding the raging rod of fury tightly in both hands, took the root with her cherry mouth and licked it back and forth all over the place with the tip of her tongue. The area around the attractive vermilion lips and the fine white fingers were wet with my secretion and her saliva.

There was no skill in Kimmy’s behavior, it could only be described as a passionate, loving sucking of the rod, but it was her passion that gave me the highest pleasure.

“Gin, Gummi…ah! Oooo…stop, stop!”

“Mmmmm coo, mmmm…it’s…brother, brother’s flavor…”

Chinami seemed to be unable to hear what I said, I don’t know if it was the act of blowing and sucking in the heat too much, or pretending not to hear, but just concentrating on greed for the meat stick.

“Ugh! No, stop it, Kagome!”

I called her desperately. I don’t want this! Don’t think of me as Jingo! Please, Chinami, if this keeps up, I’ll sink into lust for you.

As if my mind had been read, a vile, maniacal laugh rang out from the basement.

“Wahaha! Toshihiko, what a beautiful view… I’m sure you must be very satisfied that your heart’s desire has been realized.”

I struggled to turn my head to look at the source of the sound and was once again amazed at the dismal scene that was also playing out about four meters or so away from me.

“Am I right?”

The young girl was forced to crouch down with her uncle’s cock in her mouth, and the other woman, hanging from the red brick wall, was completely naked, with nothing on her body except her bondage belt and white stockings, which was extremely lewd and humiliating.

“Son, Sonoko! Sumie-san!?”

“That’s right, Sumie has been…this girl on the other hand is today’s newly captured prey, she was a virgin until yesterday, but she’s quite talented, hey! Swallow it all!!!” After his uncle finished speaking, his ugly steel cannon then erupted in fire.

“Ummm pfft! Guhh, cough cough, vomit~” Sonoko coughed in agony, spitting out a large amount of sticky, white, cloudy liquid from deep in her throat.

“Tch! Looks like you need more coaching on how to swallow cum, but it’s barely enough to take on the job of dissipating a morning erection.”

My uncle, who sniffled arrogantly, turned his face toward me.

“How about you try it too?”

“Shut the fuck up!!!”

“Heh, right, you’ve already tasted this little girl’s magnetic flavor anyway!”

The brainy, middle-aged man, after pulling his ugly, shriveled man-root out of Sonoko’s mouth, operated the ceiling skid steer and pulled the voluptuous, beautifully-bodied female, clad only in bondage straps and white stockings, to himself.

“Sumie is my dedicated maid, a faithful servant, and a slave who follows my orders with joy, from the care of her food, to the care of her rod. Not only that, but she loves it when I play with her like this… a dirty woman, right? Right, Sumie? Answer!”

The uncle, who was playing vigorously, stabbed her secret part even more fiercely, and Sumie, who was panting bitterly, arched her back sadly.

“Ahhh! Ah, yes, Mr. Yasuyuki! Sumi, Sumie, loves, Mr. Yasuyuki’s, thick, big, meat stick, ah-oh, coo ah, ah!!!”

“Heh heh heh! So obedient, are you shaking your ass like that, are you asking me to do something? Be clear and specific!”

Without letting up, he continued to doggedly toy with his prey with the murderous weapon of desire and words.

“Sumie, please, Yasuyuki-san, punish Sumie’s putrid little hole with a meat stick…severely! Ahhh! Harder, more harshly!!!”

Sumie kept uttering shameless words and twisting her waist fiercely in pursuit of greater pleasures, which was a sight that one could not bear to see.

The uncle, who laughed wildly and contentedly, illustrated proudly.

“Elegant and noble women are what they are when they strip away the veneer of disguise! Of course, it takes months to teach to this point, but no matter what kind of woman it is, if she steps into it, the next step is the same!”

“You…lied, this is a fake, isn’t it, Sumie!?”

My shouts were drowned out by my uncle’s taunts.

“The lewd look of your childhood playmate has struck you, hasn’t it? But your sister’s quality is pretty good too, yo!”

“Wh…what did you do to her!?”

Is this man responsible for my Katsumi being like this? Did he instigate Katsumi?

“Sort of! But don’t be mad, you’re the most important guest in my kingdom, so I have to give you the best hospitality, and by the way, ask Jasmine to join in later and have a luxurious game of threesome with you!”

The uncle who was playing with Sumie’s body snickered, and his words reminded me of the Jasmine scent that I had forgotten all about.

“Jasmine? By the way, where’s Jasmine?”

I turned my face to look around and spotted her, trapped by the twine and lying across the floor next to the wall, her eyes closed tightly and she didn’t move, and she didn’t respond to being called.

“The little girl resisted a little, so I punished her a little, and she seemed to pass out!”

I hate to imagine the pain she suffered when she lost consciousness.

“You are not human! As Jingo said, you are a filthy beast in human skin!”

“Oh, thanks for the compliment, oh Sumie! You’re getting turned on by Toshihiko, aren’t you? The tightness is better than ever!”

Yasuyuki accepts my anger without a care in the world, while torturing Sumie’s femur without mercy.

Trapped and bound all over her body, she couldn’t break free at all, and could only twist her body to endure it.

“Yeaaah! Ooooohhhh! Uhhhhhhhh!!!”

“Sumie, be quiet! I have something very important to say to Toshihiko right now, understand? Huh? Hey!”

“Naruku! Uh…uhhhh! Oooh, yes…”

Sumie replied with a pained gasp on one side, no longer making a sound, and Konichi, with a dominant look on his face, laughed with smug satisfaction.

“Next, it’s time to talk about the purpose of recruiting you here, I want to turn this mansion into an unending city of carnal desires, right now it’s only limited to the basement of the warehouse, but slowly, all parts of the house will be served by sex slaves, and I’m going to be the lord of this city of carnal desires. Then again, I intend to turn the entire village of Hairy Ogakure into a worldly paradise of official power at my disposal!”

“This, this kind of thing, how is it possible!!!”

“Of course it’s possible! With the power of the Takakihara family, everything in this village is within my grasp!”

“You’re nuts! You’re crazy!”

“Do you really think so? Oh, you haven’t yet realized your own destiny, and the overwhelming power of the Takamigahara family…”

My…destiny?

“However, there are two people who prevented me from reaching this great plan: Shizuko and Hasegawa. Those two, before Shizuko married me, they committed adultery in private, and this matter of Shingo being born to Hasegawa is not an empty rumor, even Shizuko, in order to cover up Hasegawa’s relationship with Shingo, the whole person has become meaner, humph! It seems that I’m condoning adultery!”

This, how can…

“Anyway, ever since your parents died, Shizuko, who thinks she’s a direct descendant of the Takakihara family, has been getting more and more arrogant, and has completely looked down on me, so I had to get help from you, the heir of the pure and proper Takakihara family!”

“So, the person who sent the telegram was…”

“Correct answer, the reason why you ran away from home, the whole family knows exactly in their hearts, so I think you would have rushed back immediately if you knew that Chinami was critically ill, of course, it cost me more or less money to find out where you lived!”

Tsk! I turned out to be a hare that fell into a trap!

“As I expected, you’ve traveled a long way back to the village of Hairy Ogakure, so the next step is just to seize the moment and pull you to my side! Hahaha, Shizuko is anxious because she knows that she doesn’t have the blood of the Takakihara family running through her veins!”

“Wh…what?”

“She was left on the doorstep of the Takakihara family for six-year-old Axeman to find, and Axeman’s father, Takakihara Hyoe, picked her up and adopted her as his adopted daughter, brother and sister without blood which! History often repeats itself!”

Shizuko, an abandoned baby? So, she and I have no blood at all? Is that true?

“What Shizuko is most afraid of is your presence, because you are the rightful heir of the Takamigahara family, the son of the axeman! Originally, because you left home, if nothing big happened, there was no need to worry about you coming back, but this〃 big thing〃 happened, they didn’t know about my ploy, and when they saw that you suddenly appeared and came back with your fiancée, they panicked all of a sudden, and I was shocked by the original fiancée, but it doesn’t matter, for me, as long as you landed here, it’s a success, and in order to achieve my goal, my ace in the hole is Gumi! “

Gummi!

“Mmm, mmm, brother…uhhhh, uhhhh…mmmmmmmmmm ahhhhh…”

Without stopping, Kimmy continued to suck on my manhood.

I stared blankly at Chinami as Yasuyuki’s note came into my ears.

“Kotomi is closer to Shizuko and Hasegawa than to me, and since you’re not here, they plan to take advantage of the situation to control Kotomi. It doesn’t really take much thought to realize that enlisting the nominal master of the house is of course necessary, so I countered with Sumie, whose job it is to take care of Ginmi’s living. The results of that are now before your eyes.”

“Damn it, you, how dare you…”

Son of a bitch! He dared to do this to my Chinami!

I was so angry that my vision dimmed, not only from anger, but also from the intense arousal running upward from my lower body. Gumi’s focused oral sex caused my rod to swell to its maximum limit.

“Come on, enjoy yourself! Experience this forbidden magnetic flavor, and join me in controlling the Takakihara family, and the Hatsugatake Village!!!”

Konnichiwa’s cocky scream echoed loudly through the basement.

“Awwww, brother’s flavor… mmmmm… so delicious, choru…”

The secretion oozing out of the glans was licked into Chinami’s mouth, and just the sight of it almost made me explode.

“Uh-uh, Gin, Ginmi…”

“Brother, give it to me…give it to Kimmy, more and more…”

How should I respond to Kimmy’s innocent request? Should I let the flames of desire burn? Or should I hold on to what’s left of my reason?

I barely managed to maintain a shred of sanity and had to make her stop! I can’t take Chinami with me into the demonic path of her prison.

“Gin, Ginmi, please, don’t, listen to me, don’t, don’t do this again!”

Chinami looked at me with an incredulous expression.

“Why? Gumi wants more…more of brother’s delicious…choru! Give it to Ginmi, more…”

“Chinami, why don’t you listen to your brother? Oooh…brother, it’s so sad…oooh…”

Teardrops slid down my cheeks, and I didn’t know to myself if they were tears of sorrow or tears of joy, but they seemed to have an effect on Chinami.

“Brother…brother?”

“Chinami, please go back to the way you were before and revert back to being my Chinami…”

“Brother?”

“Chinami, at this rate, brother will hate you…”

“Brother, you hate… Ginami?”

“Love you, brother loves you the most, but, now…”

I don’t know what to say, no matter what happens, it should be impossible for me to hate Chinami. But now I don’t know how to say it.

“Gumi doesn’t want to be hated by her brother and won’t do anything he doesn’t like anymore…”

My plea seemed to be understood by Chinami as she stopped her movements and looked at me with serious eyes. I glanced sideways at Yasuyuki, who was so focused on violating Sumie that he didn’t notice our movements at all.

It’s now! The time has come, I made up my mind and whispered quietly into Chinami’s ear.

“Hurry up and untie me…”

“Hmm! Gumi will listen to Niinii… Gumi is a good kid, right? Niinii won’t hate Ginmi anymore, right?”

Kimmy smiled brightly, and to my eyes, it was like the smile of an angel.

“Yeah, Ginami’s my favorite!”

“Gumi’s favorite brother too!”

Chinami swooped in to hug me and gently untied the straps that bound my hands.

I stood up and swooped down on Yasuyuki, who was delaying his abusive behavior.

“Asshole! You beastly bastard!!!”

Focusing my entire weight on my right fist, I swing a deadly blow.

The obligatory right hook hits him in the side of the face! Konnichiwa somersaults backwards and falls to the ground, the blow was enough to rob him of his consciousness.

After I undid the restraints on the limp Sumie who had been subjected to a harrowing abuse, I rushed to Jasmine-chan’s side. Her breathing was still calm, and there were no particularly serious traumatic injuries.

“Jasmine! Pull yourself together! Jasmine!!!”

Jasmine opened her eyes and looked at me.

“Jasmine-chan, are you awake? I’ll untie you in a minute!”

However, it was very laborious to untie the twine from her body, but I finally managed to loosen the fly.

Just then, I felt a hair-raising, intense killing intent and couldn’t help but look back.

“Toshihiko! I’m going to kill you!!!”

At some point, Kang Zhi had regained consciousness. He grasped the axe in his hand and glared at me with vicious fury, and a terrible murderous aura seemed to be transformed into a scurrying flame on his body.

I hurriedly grabbed Jasmine’s hand.

“What’s Ginami going to do!?”

Jasmine asked as Chinami sat on the floor, watching the whole thing unfold, along with Sumie and Sonoko, we were positioned in a straight line just separated by Yasuyuki. If we go first, the three of them will undoubtedly become tributes to the blood sacrifice, but right now I don’t even know if I can get out of this crisis, at least I have to make sure Jasmine is safe first.

“It doesn’t matter, run away!”

I immediately made a decision and took Jasmine’s hand and darted outside.

Running out of the warehouse, we looked back warily.

“Kill you! I’m going to kill you! Toshihiko! Stop right there!!!”

Yasuyuki was naked and coming after us with an axe, maybe I hit him too hard when I punched him in the face! His expression of rage and loathing seemed to be in a state of madness. I’m afraid he can’t see any east but me in his eyes now, which is good for me, at least I don’t have to worry about Chinami’s safety.

“Get outta here! He’s really going to kill someone! Anyway escape out of the house first!”

“Uh-huh!”

We ran out of the atrium, and I turned back often while keeping an eye out for Jasmine, who was coming up for air.

“Toshihiko~ Can’t you hear me when I tell you to stand still!!!”

“Are you kidding me! Who’s going to stop!!!”

In order for him to not be able to poison Chinami, he had to use a diversionary tactic as much as possible. There’s no time to think about what to do after that, but basically that’s the best plan.

“Jasmine, this way!”

I grabbed Jasmine’s hand and pulled her toward the trail.

It was a race of endurance as we ran desperately through the mountain trails at night, calculating that we would have to play hide-and-seek to wear him down and then see an opportunity to trap and tie him up.

The neighborhood is one I’ve been used to playing in since I was a kid and couldn’t be more familiar with, which would be far more beneficial to me.

It should be…it is….

Ahead of us came the sound of gurgling water.

“Finish NNN! Took the wrong road! There’s no road ahead, it’s a cliff!”

“What!?”

I hadn’t traveled this trail in three years and it was now dark, rendering my sense of direction useless. Ahead of us were steep waterfalls and deep stream valleys.

This path of no return is my own choice, and is tantamount to digging my own grave.

“Gahhhhhh! Toshihiko, it’s time for you to die!”

Yasuyuki came after him from the rear, truly tenacious beyond his years!

With our front cut off by nature’s obstacles, there were only two ways left viable, either to fight him hard with our bare hands or to find a place to hide.

Chapter VII – Komoro

Yasuyuki is a super-energetic weirdo, relatively speaking, I am an illustrator who is not athletic enough, and Jasmine is already out of breath, so if I take the approach of fighting with him, it would be too much bravery and not enough strategy, so it is wise to hide.

“It’s still early in the day, and he can’t see us clearly, so find a place to hide!”

I urged Jasmine Scent and crept into the grass at the edge of the bluff.

The thick grass was always able to hide us.

The sound of the water from the falls should drown out our breathing, and all we can do now is hold our breath and assimilate with nature to hide the trail.

“It’s useless to hide! Hahahahaha! Come out and die!”

Kang Zhi laughed rampantly as he seemed to have entered a state of complete insanity.

“Gahhhhhh! I’m going to find you and chop your dick into pieces! Wahahaha! And the female will play with it until she dies, then cut off her flabby meaty hole and soak it in formalin!”

Jasmine gasped sadly in fear of his intimidation and clenched her body.

“Toshihiko, I’m so scared…”

“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you, don’t pay any attention to what that kind of crazy person says.”

I cheered Jasmine on, who knew it would be redundant.

“Whoo-hoo? There it is, right? You guys are there, right? Gahahaha, there it is, right?”

“It’s over!”

In this situation, it was not easy to counterattack, moreover, considering Jasmine’s safety, it was not possible to act rashly. This was the worst state.

“It’s called hiding your heads and your tails, and you can’t escape! It’s time to despair!”

There is nothing more to be done with the laughter of Konnichiwa’s boastful triumphs that press directly on our nerves. I recalled a scene from a manga I had read in my early childhood.

The teenagers who were attacked by the monster in the school each recited that they were chairs, and ended up actually becoming chairs, and finally survived the crisis. Nowadays, can we be as safe as the students in the manga?

The killing atmosphere approached step by step, the vicious and cruel killing intent triggered a cool chill, and Jasmine Xiang’s whole body shivered continuously.

All of it. Is that the end of it?

I have long been aware of death, and even thought that it would be better to jump into the valley with Jasmine rather than die at his hands. I was not passively seeking death, but rather trying to find a way to live in the land of the dead.

Just in the nick of time –

“Whooah! Woah woah…”

Came the wild screams of Konnichiwa and the sound of crumbling earth and sand, pressed into a dead silence.

“What… happened?”

I looked around and carefully crawled out of the grass.

Yasuyuki was gone. After carefully investigating our surroundings, we found that near the grass where we were hiding, there were traces of a road collapsing towards the bottom of the valley.

Is it the trail he fell on? A footstep?

“Saved? Was that sound just now the sound of him falling off the cliff?”

Hearing me talk to myself, Jasmine timidly steps out of the grass as well.

“Is it okay? We’re saved? The man…dead?”

“Fell off a cliff. I don’t think he’s still alive.”

“Yes?”

She couldn’t quite put her mind at ease yet, whispering to herself.

“He did all the bad things even when he was alive, and this is what he deserved…”

I looked down into the dark abyss and thought this was the most fitting downfall for a man enamored with the power of darkness.

His death also means a new beginning, for me, Jasmine, and Sumie. For all evil and threats have vanished from this world.

I stepped firmly on the ground and gazed at the jasmine scent.

“Let’s talk about our destiny, about what’s to come…”

“Oi?”

“This incident has made it clearer to me that I shouldn’t stay here, so as I said last night, we’ll go back to Tokyo and the two of us will live together!”

When I finished, I embraced her tightly into my arms, and in the crook of my arms, Jasmine emerged with a confused expression.

“Ginami, what should we do?”

I was a little troubled and sighed deeply.

Originally, it was because Sumie’s words shook me up that I decided to take Chinami away, but who knew it would get out of hand. Otherwise, we would have been on our way to the town below the mountain by now.

“Gumi is a big problem, but I can’t help her after all, and even if I take her back to Tokyo, she’ll still have to be hospitalized, and it won’t be happy for her at all!”

Chinami is my beloved sister, and that will never change, but a sister is just a sister, and will never become a beloved woman.

And, my arms are scented with jasmine.

“The Takamigahara family has Sumie, and while she used to be sort of a minion of her uncle, that beast is no longer around, so I think my sister can be entrusted to her, and Sumie is one of the few people I can trust unconditionally.”

Jasmine’s expression, however, was somehow more somber, still recovering from the shock? Or, was there another reason?

“What’s wrong? Do you hate me?”

“No, I like you, but…”

Her expression was unmistakably mournful as she jerked her body out of the crook of my arm.

“I am not qualified to receive your love.”

“What, why are you saying such things all of a sudden?”

I panicked, expecting her to absolutely say yes, it was so unexpected!

“I’m…employed by Yasuyuki…”

The suddenness of the comment froze me in my tracks.

“He wanted me to monitor if you were getting ready to come back to the Takamigahara’s, and to seduce you when things didn’t look right, and I…I’m just as much of a sex slave to Yasuyuki as Sumie is!”

This is too much! I only guessed that there might be some hidden agenda, but I didn’t realize it was so…

“It’s true, I was the one who knocked you out in the basement, too…”

To a stunned me, she proceeded to spit out the truth.

“Told you I had a brother, didn’t I? He supplied my brother with drugs that turned him into a virtual invalid, and for us, who have no parents, both the money my brother spent on drugs and the cost of treating him was a huge vantage point that was impossible to pay, and with that, Kang Zhi threatened us…”

She paused and shook her head vigorously.

“No. In retrospect, that guy had evil intentions from the beginning. He made my brother an invalid in order to freely ravage my body! And I gradually let him play with me…”

My whole body trembled with indignation, and the staggering truth prevented me from thinking of any proper words to comfort her.

“When I said I had sex with three men, I meant Kang Zhi and two of his hooligans. A few of them, using my brother as a threat, together trashed my body. It was the same when they came to the Takakihara house, and they also defiled me when I reported what had happened with you, but of course, in order not to be found out by you, they just asked me to masturbate in front of him, or to suck his cock…”

Jasmine lowered her head, and I wasn’t going to blame her.

“This kind of thing…this kind of thing is not your fault at all! You have no reason to blame yourself! You had no choice and were victimized!!!”

Jasmine stepped closer to me and looked into my face with moist eyes.　”Thank you, Toshihiko, but I can’t forgive myself for my wrongdoings, even if you understand my suffering!”

“Jasmine, I…”

She gently reached out and pressed her fingers to my mouth.

“STOP! Don’t say it again, I know you understand me, because you are originally a gentle person, but your gentleness is a heavy load for me…”

She shook her head lightly and continued.

“I love you, I think, I do, but it is precisely because I love you that I cannot live with you, and I do not wish to revel in your love and forget that I am sinful!”　Eyes so moist that it seemed as if they were about to drop large teardrops at the slightest blink gazed at me.

“I’m wilful, aren’t I? Going to hate me? It’s okay, just hate me!”

“I wouldn’t…”

“I want you to be happy, more than anyone else!”

“So let’s pursue happiness together, shall we?”

I say this with immense tenderness, but…

“Sadly, the person who can make you happy isn’t me. Toshihiko, go discover your truth, okay? Promise me!”

Perhaps because of the pent-up frustration in her chest, Jasmine lost her strength and collapsed into my chest. But it was as if I was trapped and tied up, I couldn’t even move my fingers.

“Ah, Toshihiko, I’m sorry!”

Her tone of voice had a refreshing sound to it.

“I am so grateful to have met you, and it was so very happy to be in love with you, it was like a dream. But the dream has woken up and Cinderella can no longer spend time with her prince. Goodbye, Toshihiko, my prince…”

When she finished, she slowly left my chest and stood smiling in the cool night air, overflowing with satisfaction and relief. There was no going back, I felt it deeply.

“You know it, right? The prince will find Cinderella for sure…”

“Oh, that’s a fairy tale…”

Those were her last words, and Jasmine smiled and walked away from me and then, never looked back.

I just silently watched her back until I couldn’t see her anymore, still not moving a muscle, just gazing in the direction Jasmine was moving away from.

After a while, my heart was like digging a big hole in the ground before I walked forward slowly.

After an aimless walk of faith, he came to Hime Mikado no Izumi.

Was it the memory of Jasmine that drove me here? I can’t come here with her anymore, can I?

I was mesmerized as I gazed at the mysterious Izumi Eternal. The tears that came out of my eyes, dripping down the crystal clear water, and the phantom of Jasmine in her bathing suit, confused my vision.

Jasmine…incense?

I swallowed, and in my hazy vision, figures immersed in spring water did appear. Was that an illusion?

No, it’s not, and it’s not jasmine-scented either.

Ibuki…Princess? Could it be…the maiden of legend? I wiped away my tears and stared.

The young girl’s back resembled Chinami’s, as if she was purifying herself with spring water.

“It’s Komoro?”

I was finally able to confirm that the young girl was my cousin, Komoro.

“So beautiful, exactly like the legendary princess!”

The splashing water, lapping against Komoro’s completely naked and immature limbs, flickered and reflected the light. The beautiful scene in front of me made me look away.

Unintentionally, Komoro turned around and spotted me.

“Yaaaah, who is it!?”

“Ah, it’s me, Toshihiko.”

“Jun?”

Knowing it was me, she approached me from the water and…

Hope collapsed at my feet, tears streaming down her face.

“Little, little Hope, what’s wrong with you?”

“I, my body, is defiled!!!”

I’m afraid she’s referring to what Shingo did to her! As a result, Komoro was still violated by him, and a sense of guilt gripped me… if, at that time, I had stopped him…

Komoro wrapped her arms around my waist and I didn’t know what to say to comfort her.

“What to do, what to do? Brother Jun, what should I do! The filth of the body, no amount of washing, no amount of washing can clean it!!!”

“No, Hope, you’re very clean, I can’t take my eyes off you from just now!”

“Really? It’s true? Brother Jun, I, am clean?”

“Well, I swear it’s true. But what a budding illustrator says might not be very believable…”

“No, it won’t! What Brother Jun said, I will…”

“Thanks.”

After teasing her with a smile, she finally calmed down a bit.

“I should thank you. Brother Jun, would you like to accept a gift from Xiaowang?”

“A gift? What gift?”

Hope pulled my feet to make me sit down, then pulled her man-root out of my pants and carefully started sucking and licking it. Having seen her naked, my dick had already taken on an uncontrollable semi-swollen state, and was responding quickly to her dexterous tongue play.

“Woahhhh, Hope, what are you doing!?”

“This is, Little Hope’s thank you gift, Brother Jun, please accept Little Hope…”

“Wang!?”

“Love you, Brother Jun. I’ve loved you since I was a kid!”

She confessed to me out of the blue with her rod in her mouth, and this unusual situation caused my consciousness to become cloudy. Reality and the memory of Ginmi’s blowjob were intertwined in my mind, and I stared blankly at the innocent girl in front of me, her small mouth full of my rod, enthusiastic about this act that was probably the first time I had ever done it. The way she was desperately trying to make me feel comfortable was really commendable.

“Uh-huh, Jun-brother, do you hate Little Hope? Do you hate it when Little Hope is contaminated?”

“No, it won’t…”

“Then, please enjoy Little Hope, and comfort the filthy Little Hope with the one of Brother Jun!”

I wanted to comfort her, and that was all I could do for her, only to accomplish what she wanted.

Is this mere sympathy? Repentance for yourself? Or because she looks like Kimi? Am I replacing Kimi with her? I peered into the depths of my heart.

In my memories, there was always only Ginmi, but that was because we were siblings growing up together. Somehow, the memory of Kagami was healthy and lively, and my mind only has the impression of her when she was in good health… Was that really Kagami? Is that really Katsumi? Was Katsumi that healthy? Am I remembering her wrong?

I, I love Kotobuki too! From a long time ago…maybe, maybe I’m replacing my love for Kotobuki with Chinami.

So, I lowered the completely naked Hope onto the grass and slowly pulled her slightly shocked legs apart, leaving her lower abdomen exposed to the dawn’s morning light.

“It’s so beautiful here in Hope, and it’s a nice light red color, and it’s getting progressively wetter just looking at it, so cute.”

“Ahhhh, Jun-brother, Xiaowang is so shy…”

Komoro spits out a shameful gasp, and at this point, I think Komoro is really cute.

“What does Koban taste like?”

I pressed my face close to the pubic mound, which still had only young hairs growing on it, and tenderly kissed the quivering slit.

“Uh-ah! Mmm, ahhhh, yikes! It tickles…”

I had just been violated by Jingo, but it was still like a clear spring, with transparent droplets rolling out and glistening in the morning sun. I greedily sucked on the endlessly overflowing love juice with my mouth.

“Ooohhh! Toshi, Brother Toshi, ah! Ahhhh! It feels so good…”

“Hey, hey, Hope’s a little, salty here…”

Maybe it’s the smell of blood left over from just having my melon forcibly broken. While I was thinking this, my cute cousin whispered to me with a red face.

“I’m sorry for peeing out slightly because Wanda was so comfortable…”

So it’s the smell of pee. A liquid as clear and transparent as spring water moistened my throat.

“It’s okay, I don’t care if it’s yours, I’ll lick it clean for you again.”

“Hmm! Jun, Jun-brother, you can’t… this, it’s dirty!”

“How can it be dirty? Komoro isn’t dirty at all!”

I buried my face in my smooth lower abdomen and licked up the gushing liquid.

“Ahh! So comfortable! Jun’s brother’s tongue, it’s so comfortable, Xiao Wang can’t stand it anymore!”

The tiny hips shook before her mouth overflowed with warm holy water. I drank it into my belly in one gulp as she continued to dribble out the rest of her piss with each shudder.

Soon the shy and panting young girl, once again, murmured softly to me.

“Brother Jun, come in…”

“It’s too early to serve you with your fingers this time.”

Hope’s body curled up into a ball after I pressed my palm against the lovely secret lips.

“Ahh! Ahhhh, no! Don’t move like that! Yikes! Jun!”

Playing with the softest parts of me, I simultaneously moved my hands to the vibrating chest, picking up the tips of the full breasts to stimulate them. Her well-proportioned flesh began to spasm with a shudder. I inserted my middle finger into the gap between the soft lips, stirring the narrow trail of mountain springs.

“Ugh! Ah, fingers can’t come in, ahhhh, can’t stir…”

I ignored her pleas and instead shoved in a second finger, and after flipping the quivering walls of flesh in the hot, wet fountain, Hope began to sob.

“Please, no, don’t bully Hope!”

“It’s not bullying because Wang is so cute. And I like Little Hope, that’s why…”

“Really? You really like Kotobuki? More than Kagome?”

I don’t know how to answer, right now I only have Komoro in my eyes, completely forgetting about Chinami, but maybe just for now.

As if she understood my mind, she shook her head lightly.

“It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have to answer, you wouldn’t do such a thing to Chinami, would you? You wouldn’t do this kind of comfortable thing for Kimi, would you? Because it’s Kotobuki, because you like Kotobuki, you do it to Kotobuki, right? Brother Jun, please, please, I beg you, I beg you, Xiao Wang do what I won’t do to Qin Mei, put Brother Jun’s that, put it in Xiao Wang’s there, and love me well, even if I will get pregnant, it doesn’t matter!”

The past can’t be undone, the future is anyone’s guess, we only have the present, and the only thing in my eyes right now is Xiaowang.

“Well, Hope, I’m going in!”

The high, swollen man-root, pressed against the immature secret part, and then, slowly, indeed, sank down into the mysterious fountain.

“Mmmmmm, ooohhhhhh!”

“Does it hurt?”

“No, it doesn’t matter, because it’s Toshi-brother, even if it will hurt, I’m happy. So go deeper, go deeper into Koho, Koho wants Brother Jun to feel comfortable too…”

“Komoro, ah ah ah, Komoro!”

“Uhhhhhhh, uhhh! Ooohhhh!”

A bitter moan was spat out between her loving lips, and although she wasn’t a virgin, her lower body hadn’t yet developed to the point of being able to welcome my manhood smoothly, and after burying it halfway in with great difficulty, I sank down with a breath of air and plunged to the very bottom. The fierce rod pushed through the tightly pressed wintry flesh, rubbing against the gusting walls of twitching flesh, and invaded directly into the deepest part of the body.

“Ah, ah, ah, it’s coming in! Brother Jun, it’s coming in, it’s so good! Jun-brother’s thing, rising up inside Komang’s stomach, Jun-brother’s that, throbbing!”

Komoro, who had incorporated the pulsating rod in its entirety, was intoxicated in a trance. Her watery skin colored pink, her body shook slightly, her developing breasts kept swaying, and in time with my wild beats, Komoro’s limbs began to dance as well.

“Ahhhh! No, no way! Jun-brother! Don’t move like that!!!”

“It’s not like I’m the only one who’s moving, Hope herself is shaking.”

“No, it can’t be! I’m rocking on my own? Ah, yes, it’s true, it’s so embarrassing, my hips automatically started swaying…”

Red-cheeked Komoro, covering her face with her hands and blushingly pouting lips, whispered to me in a tearful voice. I’ve never found her so adorable, and I’m so glad I was able to bond with her.

“Ahhhh, I can’t, it’s so good, Brother Jun’s one, it makes me feel so good!”

The swaying of her hips became more and more intense, a frantic dance of limbs that played a lustful beat, and the pleasurable pleasure she felt was made clear by the sound of viscous water emanating from the union area. “Ah, ah, ah! Brother Jun, is Xiao Wang’s… comfortable?”

“Mmm, ah, mmmmm! It’s so tight and adsorbing!”

“Ah! So happy! Brother Jun, Brother Jun! Little Hope, Little Hope is going to ascend!!!”

“Uhhhh! I can’t either!”

“Cum inside Little Hope, cum inside Little Hope! Little Hope’s dirty bottom, with Jun’s brother’s thick juice, wash it clean!!!”

Komoro before extinction, her hips swinging wildly. Not wanting me to pull out my rod, it really makes me feel incredible, she wants me to cum inside her no matter what, her body clenching desperately.

I did as she hoped and reached the tipping point, my high, swollen rod erupting with huge spurts of burning goo.

“Ooohhh, Hope! It’s coming out!!!”

“Yeaaah! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

I don’t know how long I was asleep after the passionate encounter.

After groping for hazy memories, he remembered embracing Komoro, who had reached the top of the mountain, and passionately kissing each other deeply, but he couldn’t recall anything after that.

“Komoro? Komoro?”

There was no answer, and I sat up my upper body from the grass and looked around, still no sign of her.

As he stood up in a panic, his fingertips touched something.

“Isn’t this… isn’t this Hope’s sketchbook?”

I picked up the sketchbook and lifted the cover.

The first thing that caught my eye were the words 〃My Favorite, Brother Jun〃.

When I continued to turn down the page, there was a portrait of a certain character on every page, and that character, drawn in the style of a girl’s manga, was most likely me.

When I saw the last piece of paper, my heart was hit like a tangle.

In marvelous red ink, it says “Goodbye”!

I searched like crazy for the whereabouts of Xiaowang, but found nothing. I had no choice but to embark on my return journey with my sketchbook in my arms in remorse, hoping in my heart that Xiaowang had gone home first.

Chapter 8: Love and Truth

When he returned to the front door of his house, he saw Sonoko standing in the doorway.

“Ah! Young Master Junyan! It’s not good! Things are bad!!!”

From the way she panicked, I think she must have found out about Yasuyuki’s uncle’s death.

“Uh, I know, it’s about Uncle Konnichiwa, isn’t it?”

“No, it was Young Master Jingo! Young Master Jingo was stabbed to death!”

What did you say? Shingo was stabbed to death? Then…shouldn’t…

“The house is a mess right now, Mrs. Shizuko and Mr. Hasegawa are both inside the living room, and I, having just had that happen, don’t know what to do…”

“Where’s Hope?”

“I can’t find her in the whole family!”

Sure enough, when Komoro said that her body was defiled, it actually had a double meaning; the red letters on the sketchbook were, I’m afraid, written in Jingu’s blood, meaning…

“What became of you? What about Ms. Jasmine? And the man?”

“Jasmine left, and Uncle Yasuyuki fell off a cliff and died…”

“It’s true, but what should I do? I can’t believe I’m involved in this kind of incident at my part-time job!”

“Sonoko, calm down! Anyway, contact the hospital first.”

“Tried that, but the phones don’t work, there’s no way to contact the outside world!”

“Tsk! There’s no way out of the house, Sonoko, please go to a nearby neighbor’s house and borrow a phone, then you go back to your own house first and don’t come back until the incident is over, got it?”

“Okay..! Then I’ll go, I’ll take care of the rest!!!”

Sonoko hurried outside.

I gazed at the mansion once again, how many lives had to be sacrificed to this family? Starting with the original Princess Ibuki, the next eight hundred years have been anything but peaceful; even in modern times, regardless of the fact that both of my parents and Uncle Yasuyuki died horribly, and that Mr. Takano, Jingo, and Komoro are abnormal, I don’t believe that the Takakihara family has been cursed, and that all of it is due to the selfishness of mankind.

If it was me yesterday, I would have done nothing and run away, right? But now I’m different, I’m going to stay here until I find out the truth of what Jasmine said.

I took a deep breath, clutched Hope’s sketchbook, and walked through the door.

As Sonoko had said, the dead Jingo lay sprawled in the living room, with a crying aunt and uncle sitting on their knees, and Hasegawa, who had a sullen expression that screamed surprise.

Kagami’s absence was understandable, somehow Sumie was nowhere to be seen.

“Jingo! Jingo! Open your eyes, open your eyes!!!”

“You can’t die! You can’t leave Mommy first!!!”

My uncle’s mother had fallen into a semi-crazed state, and Jingo, with a knife in his chest, lay motionless in the crook of her arm.

“Jingo he, already?”

Hasegawa nodded speechlessly. He who usually had a poker face would also show his inner feelings like his own son died which.

“Who? Who did this! I won’t spare him! I will absolutely make him pay for his life!!!”

I started to think about whether or not I should show them the sketchbook in my hand, which had “Goodbye” written in Shingo’s blood, which couldn’t have been more tragic.

However, I was also responsible for Shingo’s death…if I could have been more serious and enlightened when he came to me for advice…if I could have stepped in and stopped Shingo when I witnessed him violating Kohang…but, I couldn’t even save Kohang’s life.

Jasmine, please, give me strength.

“The person who killed Jingo is mostly no longer in this world, I think she must have been in too much pain after being raped by Jingo and did this on impulse…”

The sketchbook gave them too much excitement, and in any case I got to the point and gave an approximate account of what had happened.

“What? What did you say? Could it be…”

My aunt slowly stood up and seemed to finally understand what I had said.

“Komoro? Komoro killed Shingo? Is that true?”

“It’s cruel, but I’m afraid I can’t be wrong.”

“Komoro, you cursed witch! How dare you kill my beloved Jingo! If only I hadn’t adopted her, if only I hadn’t adopted that ominous witch, the cursed son of a demon…”

Hope, is she adopted? What’s going on? It’s not her child?

“What the hell are you talking about?”

“Say what? Brother Axeman, you’re the one who asked me! And now you’re asking me! Whoa, whoa ah! You, you’re not Brother Axeman!?”

“Yeah, I’m Toshihiko, and the axeman is my father.”

Perhaps the shock was so great that it confused her memory, but what did she say her father had asked her to do? My aunt stared at me with skepticism, the corners of her mouth crooked menacingly.

“Toshihiko? Ahaha! Is that the brat born from the first rotten bastard I slaughtered? Heh heh heh, even the second rotten bastard was sent to the West with Brother Axeman!”

“Shizuko, that’s enough, he doesn’t know anything!”

Hasegawa stopped her. What did he say I didn’t know about?

“Yeah? Heck, so what!”

Her eyes were filled with hatred and anger, and something within her seemed to be growing at a frightening rate.

“It’s because you came that everything changed! That’s right! You shouldn’t have come back! You shouldn’t have come into the world! Everything is your fault!”

Excited, my aunt pulled the small knife from Jingu’s body and pointed the blade at me.

“Disappear! Disappear from the world! You don’t deserve to exist in this world!”

“Shizu, Shizuko! Don’t be impulsive!”

“Go to hell! Go to hell! Die!!!”

With clear murderous intent, she barreled toward me, bursting with resentful emotion that transformed into an abhorrent incantation hitting me straight in the ear.

“I’m going to kill you! Kill you! Kill you!”

I rushed out into the hallway and met Sumie, who was holding Chinami’s hand.

“Brother?” Kimmy’s eyes widened incredulously.

“Young Master Junyan, this way! The consequences will be unimaginable if we don’t escape quickly!”

The mournfulness that was present before last night was no longer visible in Sumie’s voice, and she seemed to have freed herself from Yasuyuki’s spell and returned to her original self. I was urged on by her and hurriedly ran in the direction she pointed.

Running out of the house, we ascended the mountain path with Chengjiang as our guide.

I held the hand of the painfully gasping Chinami and asked Sumie.

“Going somewhere?”

“Don’t ask, run faster!” She said decisively, picking up speed even more.

“Chinami, run faster, endure even if it’s hard!”

“Haa, haa, well, Gumi doesn’t care when she’s with her brother…”

“They’re coming after us! Run!”

When I looked back, my uncle and mother were holding the blood-stained knife and chasing after her with the aura of a malevolent ghost. Hasegawa also followed. Although the climb was too hard for the weak Chinami, life was more important than everything, so I encouraged Chinami and continued to run forward with Sumie in the lead.

Sumie ran into the forest path on her way into the deeper part of the forest.

Despite feeling a serious threat to my life, I looked out over the ancient trees that flowed across my field of vision, noting Kimmy’s breathing and feeling the warmth of her skin. My consciousness began to wander into the ambiguous realm between the past and the present, as well as between dreams and reality.

At some point, we stepped onto an incredibly neat forest path inside the forest. Without hesitation, Sumie kept running deeper and deeper into the forest path, and together with Chinami, I desperately chased after her.

Soon, the deep forest dons the end of the line.

Like a fairy tale, a beautiful landscape unfolded before my eyes. Shrouded in brilliant sunlight, the breeze gently swayed the thousands of purple and red flowers, the strong odor stimulated my nostrils, and my whole body was flooded with a comfortable feeling of dizziness. For a moment, the view mesmerized Kagami and me.

“Haaah, haaah, wow, that’s beautiful…”

It’s as if the scenery is nostalgic from memory, and by the way, it seems…

“This is… the flower field that Gumi and I used to visit when I was a kid?” Sumie said heavily to me who was talking to herself.

“Yes, and it’s the source of the Takakihara family’s wealth, the poppy fields!”

“Poppies? Poppies, they’re an ingredient in marijuana, right?”

“Exactly, the Takakihara family has been involved in poppy cultivation since the old days, and drug-related illegal trade is exactly what the Takakihara family is in business for!”

I looked around again, and this is indeed the place where I used to play with Chinami.

Our siblings’ paradise is a field of poppies! Our family has always been involved in the drug trade. This, this is unbelievable!

“I know you don’t want to believe it, but it’s true. The Takakihara family has always dominated the village of Fatsugatake with the great benefits of drugs, and the villagers have received favors from the Takakihara family to keep the secret. Even the railroad that was built in the middle of nowhere was for the purpose of transporting marijuana. The people of this village are unusually vigilant against outsiders, again to protect this shared secret, and no matter who it is, no one wants to lose the benefits that are at their fingertips; to the villagers, the Takakihara clan is the absolute dominator, the source of wealth!”

Sumie finished with a serious and pained expression, and then, continued in a slow tone.

“At least, that was the case before your two parents were in charge. Your parents, who attempted to cut off the vices of the Takakihara family and the village of Fatsugatake, were killed for it, and that too from the complicity of the village people and the Takakihara clan!”

Murdered? Complicity of villagers and families? The only relatives of Takagihara are the Kanda family. Both of my parents, they didn’t die in a car accident?

With a serious look, Sumie gazed at the stunned me, she…didn’t lie to me, there’s no way she could have lied, so it’s really the truth then lo!

“How is that possible? This kind of thing, it’s too much!”

I couldn’t speak, and suddenly felt a chill run down my back as I jerked backward.

“To actually come to a place like this, huh? It just so happens that this is the most suitable place to be your burial place!”

A sinister smile surfaced on my uncle’s face and she glared at me angrily like a female ghost, her murderous intent was practically the same as Kang Zhi’s.

Straight, she killed them? Both of my parents, died at her hands?

“Shizuko! Did you really kill my parents?”

A cold smile spread across his aunt’s face.

“Hmph hmph hmph, that’s exactly right. The first underling, your mother, died by my hand!”

“Why? Why would you do such a thing?”

“That goes without saying! Because I hate her to the bone. How dare Brother Axeman betray me twice, marrying another woman twice when he knew I loved him!”

Twice? Married twice?

“My father remarried?”

“That’s right! The first time I married Haruyo, a village girl, and then after I killed Haruyo, whose body became weak after giving birth to you, I married my sister Kikuyo, who was pregnant with twin bastards from who knows where! Ahhh! Those hateful sisters!!!”

Father remarried? I see, no wonder I thought there were two mothers, so there really were two, my father never mentioned this to me, but…

“So, for that alone, you killed her!?”

“No, it’s not!”

Hissing hysterically, my uncle’s mother began to recount the love-hate drama between her and both of her parents that I was unaware of.

“I loved my axeman brother more than anyone else, and forced my brother, who had married Haruyo in spite of me, to give me an explanation. At that time, I thought it would be better to be a concubine, but my foster father, Hyoe, saw me. My foster father was furious, saying that there was no way in the world that a younger sister would insist on marrying her brother, and he scolded and beat me severely! This is so unfair to me! There is no blood relationship between me and my axeman brother! Not only that, but my adoptive father forced me to marry into the Kanda family… Are you kidding me! Why should I marry that old pervert and waste my youth!”

The pent-up depression of more than twenty years was vented in a single breath, and I was completely overwhelmed by the intensity of her emotions and could only be a mere spectator.

“Self-destructive, I had sex with my driver Hasegawa, I gave my virginity to my axeman brother so it’s okay, but didn’t want to help Yasuyuki have a baby! When Hasegawa found out about it, he was very gentle with me, and we had a secret affair and gave birth to Jingu. However, at the same time, Brother Axeman met Kikuyo, who had been raped by a man and was pregnant, in the town below the mountain, and out of pity took her in as his step-wife, which I was most angry about! Is my sister not worthy of sympathy? Not only that, but later Kikuyo gave birth to twin sisters, and after realizing that one of them was weak, she left the healthy one to be raised by me!”

This sentence, for me, was the one with the greatest force of impact… If Kagami and Komoro are twin sisters, then Kagami and I… aren’t siblings?

“That bitch, Wang, even killed Jingo! It’s an abomination! Why did the gods make me carry so much misfortune!”

I was so lost in thought that I felt as if my aunt’s mournful cries were coming from a distance, and nothing else mattered! Such thoughts swirled around in my head, but Sumie roared at Shizuko with an expression that could not be pressed.

“You think you’re the most unfortunate person in the world? It’s so ridiculous and arrogant! Do you know how many innocent people have been sacrificed because of your arrogance? The master and mistress of the Takamigahara family, and also, my father was forced to die by you! You’re the witch!”

She seems to know everything, and the fact that all of us Takamigahara family members were gathered here seems to be part of her plan.

“You, the Kanda family, along with Hasegawa and the village chief, conspired to kill Mr. and Mrs. Takakihara, and within less than a year, forced my father to commit suicide! The culprit of all the events is this field of poppies! And not satisfied with that, you used drugs in an attempt to manipulate Chinami in order to take over everything from the Takakihara family!”

“What? You guys did that to Chinami?”

I looked at Chinami in surprise, and Chinami looked back at me with a look of incomprehension of what was happening.

Chengjiang’s denunciation continues.

“Shizuko and Hasegawa indulged in their personal affairs, and Yasuyuki and the villagers killed my most important father! Before my father died, he sent me a letter accusing me of all the conspiracies, and I realized that you are all ugly devils! The reason I returned to the Takakihara family and willingly became Yasuyuki’s sex slave was all for today! In order to take revenge on you, I gave up my old self! And, I already want Yasuyuki’s blood!”

Kang Zhi? So, he didn’t fall off the cliff by himself, but Chengjiang pushed him off? Unexpected facts came to light again and again, shaking my mind one after another.

“What’s left is you and the villagers. All the hatred, I’m going to end it here!”　After she finished speaking in an awe-inspiring voice, she lit the lighter she took out of her pocket and threw it into the poppy field. The tiny flame of the lighter turned into a huge tongue of fire in an instant, bursting into bright red sparks and burning the entire field. The red lotus fire that consumed the source of wealth of the Takakihara family and Fao Ogatake Village was like the flames of Sumie’s vengeance.

“Yeesh! What are you doing!!!” The aunt let out a wail.

“Hasegawa, put out the fire! It’s burning! It’s all burning!”

“It’s too late, didn’t you notice when we came? Chengjiang has been sprinkled with gasoline for a long time!”

“What? How can you still say you’re full of it? Jingo’s dead! The only thing we have left is this poppy field!”

“Shizuko…”

“Don’t! Don’t! Please, don’t burn my poppy fields! Don’t take anything more from me!”

Ignoring his uncle and mother, who were constantly retreating due to excessive panic, Sumie pounced on his uncle and mother like a rabbit, gripping a short sword in his hand that he had taken out of nowhere.

“Kill your father!!!”

Sumie, who had deeply stabbed her short sword into Hasegawa’s chest, opened her eyes wide in surprise.

“Why? Why don’t you duck, Daddy!”

Dad? Hasegawa is, Sumie’s…?

“You… sure enough, know…” said Hasegawa in a calm voice without moving a muscle.

“Well, my foster father’s letter told me that you were my real father, and that because you were from out of town, and your love with my mother was hardened and broken up by the village people, Mr. Hatchetman took pity on you and hired you as a chauffeur. My foster father asked me not to hate you, that’s what he wrote, but, I…”

“Your mother, Miyako, loved me from the bottom of her heart, she didn’t care about the contemptuous glances of the villagers who hated outsiders, and I loved her, and you are the fruit of our love…”

Hasegawa interrupts Sumie’s whimpering words and begins to state to her, with tender eyes, that it was his unknown past.

“Cruelly, the people of the village forced us apart, and Miyako, who was six months pregnant, was forced to marry into the Takano family, and Mr. Axeman took pity on me and hired me to be the Takakihara family’s chauffeur. Soon after you croaked, I watched you and Miyako live happily ever after and felt content in my heart, even if I couldn’t be your father, even if I couldn’t be a family reunion, I still felt content…”

“So why?”

“After Miyako left this world, a dark, evil, and violent feeling stirred in my chest, perhaps a regret for not being able to protect Miyako, transformed into a strange, crooked thought; having sex with Shizuko was also to permanently seal my feelings for you, but ironically, when the Axemen advocated the destruction of the poppy fields, the villagers, who were usually distant from me, came back to plead with me, most likely because I was close to Shizuko. back to plead with me, mostly because Shizuko and I were close! The more important reason is that I’m an outsider.”

Hasegawa’s injuries should have been serious, but he smoothly continued to speak, his eyes seeming to gaze into the distant past.

“The person who led the plot against the Takamigahara family had to be someone other than a villager, so I was chosen by them because the Axeman couple had been kind to me and were less wary of me. Of course, I refused, but my life was threatened as a result, the villagers would not spare disobedient outsiders, and having once experienced it myself, I was forced to accede to their demands; on the other hand, I secretly felt superior, and if I succeeded I would stand at the apex of the whole village, and this is what you call it, that I indulged in feelings of hatred. The terrible thought of revenge against the village imprisoned me like a spell, and I sold my soul to the devil…”

“So you killed them? Not instigated by Shizuko?”

“It has nothing to do with Shizuko, it’s all personal from start to finish…”

Hasegawa let out a breath, a trickle of blood running down next to the corner of his mouth.

“Your adoptive father, until the end, remained loyal to the Axeman couple, and, never thought I would do anything to betray them. After it was done, forcing him, who had learned the truth, to commit suicide was also part of my revenge plan, as the man had left my Miyako to die, and he had failed to save the ailing Miyako, plus my insults, taunts, and slurs, which were more than enough for the responsible man…”

After a rare emotional high-tempo, Hasegawa was out of breath.

“Sumie, when you returned to the Takamigahara family and fell into Yasuyuki’s hands, there was nothing I could do about it…I know very well…that I am to blame for this day coming to pass! This…is the ending I wished for, so live well and move on to your…happy life…”

The intermittent words made Sumie keep shaking her head and sobbing like a willful child.

“Father, like you, I was sold to the devil, body and soul, and was put under the compulsion of vengeance. There is no forgiveness for a woman who preys on her own father…”

“Cheng…Jiang…”

These were his last words on his deathbed. Hasegawa, holding his own daughter, stood upright and died, and Sumie fell to her knees and bawled as she hugged the remains.

“Daddy! Daddy!”

I looked at the two men blankly, no one was right or wrong, indifferent thoughts swirled around in my mind, and out of the corner of my eye, I looked to see my aunt and uncle, who were equally indifferent as I was, suddenly start to let out a loud laugh.

“Ahahaha! Burn it! Burn as much as you can! Burn them all! Burn them all!”

All that she had was taken away from her, causing her uncle’s spirit to go into delirium.

“Disappear! Everything, the past, the present, the future, all of them, all of them, disappear! Hahahahaha…”

She stepped into a field of burning poppies and was engulfed in tongues of fire in the blink of an eye.

” ohh hahahahahahahaha ……” A shrill, maniacal laugh came from the flames, and only for a moment, after which there was no longer any proof of her survival to be heard.

Death! This ominous word of horror made me timid and fearful, and roused my dulled thought-sense.

“Cheng, Chengjiang! Run away quickly! If you don’t hurry you’ll get caught in the fire!”

“No, I’m not leaving…”

She hugged Hasegawa’s body and didn’t move a muscle.

“The body and mind sold to the devil must be cleansed by the fires of hell…”

“Don’t talk like that! You can atone for your sins by living!”

Even Hasegawa, even your father told you to live!

In response to my words, Sumie just shook her head lightly, not moving a step, and then, grimly, bid me goodbye.

“Toshihiko, Gumi hasn’t reached the point of anesthetic poisoning yet, let her recuperate for a while and she’ll regain her health, so you’ll have to discover your happiness, with Gumi…”

“Sumie! Sumie!!!”

Then a fierce fire separated me from her.

“Brother, it’s so hot. What happened to Sumie and the others?”

I was in a trance when I suddenly heard Chinami’s call, and I couldn’t help but shed tears of sadness and look straight at Chinami.

“Sumie she… wow! Chinami, run!”

“Run to where?”

“Hurry up and follow me! If we don’t escape from here, we’ll never have a future either!!!”

“Brother, it’s so scary, Shizuko and Hasegawa look like when dad and mom died ooh!”

Sh, what?

“Gumi, does that mean you saw what happened when mom and dad were killed?”

“I don’t know, I just saw mom and dad taking a nap in the flower field, I just saw them all red and napping!” A timid Kimmy, tears streamed down her face when she finished.

“Bastard! To actually do such a thing!”

It turns out that the use of drugs on Chinami was not only to utilize her, but also for the purpose of closure!

“Brother, don’t scold Gumi, Gumi will be a good boy! Don’t leave Gumi again!” Gumi, who didn’t understand the situation, pleaded with me while crying.

“It won’t! I won’t! Go with me! Come with me and pursue our happiness!”

“Really? You won’t leave Kagome? Not leaving me again?”

“Of course, of course it’s true, so hurry up and come with me!”

“Uh…uh…”

I grabbed Chinami’s hand once more and pulled my legs out and ran wildly away from the karmic fires of hell.

final chapter

We ran as fast as we could and arrived at the Himegomae no Izumi.

It seemed that the exhausted corn fields on the opposite hill had been completely burned down, and it was time for the villagers, who realized that something bad was happening, to panic and try to put out the fire. Sumie’s plan was really well thought out and perfect, no matter how anxious the villagers were, it would not help.

“Kimmy, are you okay?”

I calmed down and gasped as I questioned Ginmi, then looked at my sister who was nodding her head lightly, pondering in my mind how to explain to her everything that had happened. Of course I didn’t want to tell all of it, in fact it would be better if she didn’t know, but I couldn’t leave it out completely, so I waited for Ginmi to adjust her breathing before cautiously opening my mouth to her.

“Chinami, I have something important to tell you, so listen carefully. Sumie, Komoro, Jingo, Shizuko, Uncle Yasuyuki, and Hasegawa, all of them are dead!”

“Dead? Like mom and dad? Never see each other again?”

“Well, never to be seen again, just the two of us!”

Kimmy’s expression became even more confused.

“Well, but what about the sister who was with my brother last night?”

“Jasmine Scent? She’s gone far away, but maybe there’s still a chance of meeting up?”

If Jasmine is really Cinderella and I’m the prince, then I’m sure I’ll meet again, but in reality, I’m not confident.

Next, there was one more important thing to say to her.

“Also, Chinami and I, we’re not really brother and sister…”

“Oi? Ginmi, not Niinii’s sister? I don’t want it, Gumi wants to be brother’s sister!”

Ginmi pouted, the identity that lasted for so many years, if it was overturned overnight, no matter who it was, it would be unacceptable, right? Of course, the problem lies in how I’m going to look at Ginmi in the future, so I slowly and succinctly, explained to her.

“Chinami, I like you, but brother and sister can’t get married!”

“So, if Chinami isn’t brother’s sister, can she be brother’s wife?”

“Hmm , which one does Ginmi like?” 　Ginmi thought for a moment and looked at me with her head half lowered towards the top.

“Niinii, can Gumi be capricious for a bit? Won’t get angry?”

“No, you tell me.”

“Well, Chinami, still wants to be her brother’s sister…”

Gumi’s smile brought me a double emotion, that of reassurance and discouragement that the one who was really capricious was actually me.

“Yeah, right…”

I whispered to myself, and Kimmy blushed and whispered on.

“But can’t we be together if we want to be brother’s wife too?”

I could barely breathe from the pressure in my chest, my whole body twitched slightly, and I could barely even stand. What Chinami said completely crushed my feelings, there would not be another girl in the world who could make me love her so much.

The sound of Jasmine’s soundshake echoed in his head.

‘The person who can make you happy, sadly, is not me, Toshihiko, go and discover your truth! Go find out your happiness, promise me?’

Jasmine, I, probably, found my reality.

I hugged Gumi and tenderly kissed her lovely lips.

“Brother…mmm…mmmmm…”

Let’s pursue happiness together! Gumi, even the share of the dead, pray for them together. Gumi, I love you, I love you more than anyone!
