Chương 208: Ch 208. Kotoko's First Time?

In the dilapidated and desolate shrine, Hoshimi endured the swelling pain in his body and asked, "Kotoko, who is she?"

Kotoko turned her head to look at Hoshimi. Seeing his pale face, she quickly walked over and pressed down on his shoulder. "Hoshimi, don't move. Take it easy and let the excess spiritual energy in your body settle."

"Hmm." Hoshimi nodded slightly and stopped moving, calmly sitting cross-legged to wait for the so-called flow of spiritual energy.

Seeing that Hoshimi had settled down, Kotoko withdrew her hand and answered his previous question. "Her? She's just a "yokai" who's bored. Don't ask too much; I can't reveal her identity."

"...," Hoshimi nodded, understanding enough not to pursue the matter of the shrine maiden further.

He closed his eyes, preparing to practice the onmyoji cultivation method for a while.

"Hoshimi, don't continue cultivating. Just let the spiritual energy naturally dissipate from your body," Kotoko advised.

"Hmm?" Hoshimi opened his eyes, looking at Kotoko in confusion.

Kotoko set her staff aside and sat down next to Hoshimi, leaning her head on his shoulder. She explained, "Don't continue cultivating. Once you've started on this path, undoing it can be painful. The path of an onmyoji isn't the best choice. I'll find a better method for you later. For now, just relax and chat with me."

"Alright, I understand." Hoshimi nodded obediently. Then he asked, "Kotoko, is it troublesome for you to find a cultivation method?"

"It's okay, just so-so." Kotoko's answer was somewhat vague.

From her usual chatterbox tendencies, this vague reply clearly indicated she didn't want to elaborate.

But this time, Hoshimi wasn't so easy-going. He wrapped his arm around Kotoko's waist and pressed her further, "Kotoko, explain more, won't you? Aren't we supposed to chat? A few words don't count as chatting."

"Hmph~," Kotoko pouted, poking Hoshimi's side. She reluctantly said, "Hoshimi, knowing too much isn't always good, you know. You should understand that."

"Haha~," Hoshimi chuckled softly and held Kotoko closer. He lowered his head and nuzzled her cheek affectionately. "Kotoko, do you think that with our current relationship, anything concerning you wouldn't affect me? In the realm of "mystery," ignorance is a sin, especially when it concerns the 'Goddess of Wisdom.'"

"Hmph~," Kotoko pouted and muttered, "Hoshimi, you're really eloquent—almost as much as me... No, just a bit less than me, since I'm the professional here."

"Okay, enough babbling." Hoshimi rubbed Kotoko's head and smiled, "Hurry up and answer my question. Otherwise, out here in this remote, desolate place, I might start having some naughty thoughts."

 

"?!" Kotoko's eyes widened in surprise, staring at Hoshimi.

"Hmm? What, did I say something wrong?" Hoshimi grinned mischievously, pressing his forehead against hers. "Kotoko, don't you enjoy being under the sky and on the ground? I think this place is perfect. It might give you a memorable experience."

"Hoshimi, are you joking, or are you serious?" Kotoko looked at him with an unusual glint in her eyes.

"Of course, I'm serious. Why else would I say it?" Hoshimi's hand slowly reached toward Kotoko's chest, showing he was ready to take things further.

"..." Kotoko's purple eyes gleamed with a strange light.

Without saying a word, she reached behind her for the zipper. She was wearing that classic white dress today. One pull on the zipper, and it would be "ready to eat."

"Zzzip—"

However, just as Kotoko pulled the zipper down a mere three centimeters, Hoshimi grabbed her hand.

"Kotoko, are you really going to do this?" Hoshimi looked at her in surprise.

Honestly, he hadn't expected Kotoko to be so serious about it. After all, this rundown, deserted shrine was far from an ideal setting.

For Kotoko, he didn't want to treat her so poorly. At the very least, he wanted to find a more romantic place.

Like Kotoko's home, their future wedding house, his home, or some other more memorable place.

"Tch~," Kotoko clicked her tongue. "What else? Why do you think I asked if you were serious?"

"Alright, that was my fault. I shouldn't have provoked you with such a question," Hoshimi immediately admitted his mistake.

Indeed, one can never predict the "Goddess of Wisdom," Iwanaga Kotoko, with common sense.

In this situation, most other girls would have been flustered or angered by Hoshimi's words. But with Kotoko, she was ready to face it head-on without any fear, as if she didn't mind Hoshimi actually making a move right here.

"Hmph! As long as you know you were wrong." Kotoko zipped her dress back up, leaned on Hoshimi's shoulder, and resumed answering the original question. "Hoshimi, didn't you just ask if it's troublesome for me to find a cultivation method?"

"Yes." Hoshimi nodded slightly.

This was something that concerned him a bit. Owing favors can be quite troublesome, as too many debts could make one feel constrained.

He was carefree, but not heartless. He couldn't easily disregard someone's goodwill. Therefore, it was better to clarify some things.

In other words, if the feelings were clear, he could return the favor when necessary, and continue enjoying life without interference.

Not like with Kasumigaoka, where issues of guilt left him constrained.

Speaking of which, the date with Kasumigaoka last time had already brought the progress of atonement to 75%. One more date should complete it, allowing him to tease the lovely "defeated" female writer again.

Oh, right, Kasumigaoka was now a new, popular writer, no longer a struggling one.

Yes, it would be even more satisfying to bully her in that state. He already had a plan in mind.

"Hoshimi, who are you thinking about?" Women and girls alike possess an extraordinary intuition for certain things.

The moment Hoshimi's expression changed, Kotoko keenly caught the subtle difference.

She squinted her eyes, the purple hues hiding an underlying sense of danger.

"It's nothing; I was just waiting for your answer, Kotoko." Caught in the act, Hoshimi's expression remained calm as he pulled Kotoko closer.

If caught, don't panic. Confession will lead to leniency; denial will only make things worse.

"Is that so?" Kotoko stared at him for a while, choosing not to pursue it. Instead, she answered, "I am the "Goddess of Wisdom." I have certain obligations as well as rights. For me, finding a cultivation method isn't troublesome; it's just a matter of saying the right words."

"But..."

The twist came as Kotoko took Hoshimi's hand, playing with his fingers while continuing:

"But..."

Chương 209: Ch 209. The Cup Itself is Not Valuable

"But after finding the cultivation method, the most important and troublesome part is how to obtain it in exchange."

"Some ordinary cultivation methods are not valued by the youkai, so they just give them away. However, for those more precious cultivation methods, acquiring them isn't so easy."

"Generally speaking, those more valuable cultivation methods are only in the hands of great youkai. However, under the current backdrop of declining mysticism, the great youkai who still remain in the present world often do so for specific reasons, situations, or unfulfilled wishes and obsessions."

"If I want to obtain valuable cultivation methods from these great youkai, I'll most likely need to listen to and resolve their wishes or obsessions, which isn't simple at all."

"But..."

Another twist came. Kotoko smoothed out Hoshimi's palm and began to write and draw in his palm with no particular pattern.

"But don't worry. I am the 'Goddess of Wisdom,' not the 'Goddess of Battle.' Those great youkai know this well. The wishes or obsessions they would want me to resolve are definitely tricky mental problems. As for those involving brute force, they certainly wouldn't come to me for help."

"Alright, I'm done." Kotoko turned to look at Hoshimi. "So, Hoshimi-senpai, now that you know how hard it is for me, how will you repay me?"

Hoshimi blinked, withdrew his hand, and placed it on Kotoko's waist. "Kotoko, how about this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hoshimi suddenly tickled Kotoko's side.

"Ugh~ Haha~" Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Kotoko first groaned slightly in pain, then scrunched up her face and couldn't help but laugh.

"Hoshimi~" Kotoko endured the ticklish feeling and gave Hoshimi a coquettish glare.

Hoshimi grinned widely, revealing his white teeth, smiling brilliantly. He didn't stop but instead intensified his tickling of Kotoko's sides.

"Ugh~~" The ticklish sensation and slight pain on both sides made Kotoko twist and turn like a mermaid.

"Hoshimi~~ You ungrateful man~~ Ugh~ Haha~~ I've done so much~~ And this is how you repay me~~ I... ugh~~"

Kotoko laughed and shouted while fighting back, trying to tickle Hoshimi's side in retaliation.

"Weak, weak. Kotoko, your attack is truly weak." Hoshimi withdrew one hand to defend and easily grabbed Kotoko's slender arms.

With one hand holding Kotoko's wrists, he pulled her arms up over her head.

In this position, Kotoko was forced to straighten her back, and her flat chest was pushed forward.

"Ugh~~" With her hands pulled above her head and her back straightened, she lost control over her body.

The sense of being controlled or, rather, helplessness made Kotoko's cheeks inexplicably flush red. She squirmed slightly, seemingly trying to break free, but in reality, this only added to the allure.

Looking at the petite Kotoko, who was easily overpowered, Hoshimi felt a slight itch in his nose. He instinctively leaned closer to Kotoko.

When their faces were less than a finger's width apart, Hoshimi stopped and met Kotoko's gaze.

Their red and violet eyes reflected each other, creating a strange and somewhat ambiguous atmosphere.

"..." Feeling a hint of shyness, Kotoko closed her eyes and slightly raised her delicate neck, her intentions clear.

With his breath turning warm, Hoshimi didn't hesitate and directly responded to Kotoko's gesture...

In the desolate, abandoned shrine, the lips of the young couple touched...

...

A long while later, on the path down the mountain, Kotoko, her face blushing, held Hoshimi's arm as she complained.

"Hoshimi-senpai~ My dress and stockings are all covered in dust. What do you think we should do?"

"Go home and change, what else?" Hoshimi replied lazily.

In the abandoned shrine, the dust was thick. During their earlier kiss, Kotoko accidentally fell to the ground.

At first, caught up in the passion, neither of them noticed the dust issue. By the time they realized it, their clothes were already covered in dust.

The two spent quite some time patting the dust off each other but couldn't completely clean it. So, they had no choice but to leave the shrine in their dusty state.

"Ugh~" Kotoko pouted and poked Hoshimi's side with her finger in a grumbling manner.

Hoshimi didn't mind since Kotoko wasn't using much force anyway; he treated it as a free waist massage.

After a while, feeling it was pointless, Kotoko withdrew her hand. She hugged Hoshimi's arm and leaned her weight on him, attempting to use this as another way to "get back" at him.

Unfortunately, Kotoko's petite body was light, posing no burden to Hoshimi. On top of that, she was missing a lower leg compared to others, making her even lighter and less intimidating.

"Kotoko, when will you show me how you handle conflicts between humans and youkai?" Hoshimi suddenly asked as they continued walking.

"..." Kotoko was startled. She turned her head slightly, her eyes dodging as she replied, "Hoshimi, why the sudden interest in human-youkai conflicts?"

"Ha~" Hoshimi yawned and casually replied, "I want to test whether my dream techniques work on youkai. If they do, it might be quite fun."

"..." Kotoko didn't respond.

The two continued walking down the mountain, their footsteps echoing unevenly on the stone-paved path.

After a long while, Kotoko sighed, "I understand. I'll take you to try it when there's an opportunity."

"Hmm, sounds good." Hoshimi replied and didn't say anything else.

He half-closed his eyes, looking somewhat drowsy.

For some reason, he felt a bit sleepy after the spiritual energy dissipated. It wasn't a strong sleepiness and could easily be suppressed.

Speaking of spiritual energy, Hoshimi suddenly remembered something.

He nudged Kotoko's side and curiously asked, "Kotoko, what's that teacup I used for cultivation earlier? Is it some kind of treasure?"

Kotoko pouted disdainfully, "Treasure? Not at all. It's just an ordinary cup with some years on it and a hint of Tsukumogami potential. It can hold spiritual energy, but the cup itself isn't valuable. What's valuable is the spiritual energy inside the cup."

"That tiny amount of spiritual energy is worth at least 5 million yen. If used as a cultivation tool for you, you could drain it in less than ten days."
