Inside the rental house.
After Sakurai Saki finished explaining what had happened—
The white-haired ghost girl pouted, like a big White Cat with ruffled fur. She glared at Ms. Jinguji, who was sitting on the sofa. "Shiro is not a pet!"
She was refuting what Sakurai's mother had just said.
"Her combat power is almost zero, and she can't be summoned without a medium." Tamaki observed the ghost with a critical eye. "If you're going to raise a shikigami, sweetie, Mom suggests you get a different one."
According to Tamaki, this type of shikigami was usually only used by novice miko and onmyoji—no different from a pet.
"But sweetie, you don't need a shikigami for combat." Her tone softened. "So raising a pretty one seems fine too~ This little ghost is really beautiful." Jinguji Tamaki smiled, giggling like a beautiful fox spirit.
"Of course! Shiro is very beautiful!" Yakumo Shiro said, putting her hands on her hips.
So stupid. Shiro, your intelligence is not very good. You get lost after just one compliment.
"But no matter how beautiful—sweetie, you wouldn't have depleted yourself like this, would you?"
Jinguji Tamaki looked at him with a worried expression.
She had felt strange since yesterday. In the past, there had been situations where Sakurai Saki encountered dangerous superpowers that were difficult to suppress. At that time, Ms. Jinguji had actually considered abandoning her pure miko body to help him. But Sakurai Saki had absolutely refused, locking himself in his bedroom. The two had no blood relationship, and worldly ethics couldn't interfere with them—but he had still resolutely refused.
Tamaki had originally thought Sakurai Saki didn't like doing those things. As a result, after not seeing him for a few months, his Yang energy had shrunk from the size of a balloon to the size of a ping-pong ball.
"Mom, I…" Sakurai Saki lowered his head on the sofa, his face flushed—rare for him. To have his mother point out such a thing, he still had some shame. The most important thing was that he had indeed been indulging excessively recently. This was all Hayasaka Ai's inner personality's fault. Even a cow that plows too much gets tired. Being used by her mouth and tail every day… cough, in short, it was all her fault.
"Tonight, sleep with Mom." Jinguji Tamaki said firmly. "Mom will help you replenish your energy."
Otherwise, if he kept depleting himself every day, his studies and life would be affected.
Yakumo Shiro heard this and asked curiously, "Eh eh! What are you going to do? Shiro wants to know!" As she spoke, she secretly ran behind Sakurai Saki and haunted him. "Tell me Tell me"
Shiro's head peeked out from beside Sakurai Saki's face, acting spoiled and rubbing her soft cheek against his. The two hadn't had intimate contact for a long time. Yakumo Shiro was very happy now.
Her question made Sakurai Saki's face even redder. His mother was talking about some strange ways of replenishing magic.
"Dual cultivation—a secret technique of Shintoism." Jinguji Tamaki had no qualms about this. Why be shy about a proper cultivation method?
"Dual… dual cultivation? Eh!!" Yakumo Shiro's originally exquisite, cute face instantly turned crimson. She frantically let go of Sakurai Saki, then hid on the ceiling and disappeared.
Ms. Jinguji chuckled a few times at the sight.
Dual cultivation methods are certainly not that kind of… It's just taking off clothes to increase contact area. According to some scumbags, it's just rubbing on the outside—no need to go in.
"I definitely won't agree." Sakurai Saki was helpless with his mother. Did she know what she was saying? To replenish magic by hugging her adopted son—she actually said it.
"Alright. I won't force you, sweetie." Jinguji Tamaki was completely submissive to Sakurai Saki. She would not refute anything he said. Even if Sakurai Saki did something illegal, Tamaki would not resist him—she would even welcome it.
After discussing Yakumo Shiro, Sakurai Saki simply gave up and prepared to call out Shinobu. It's going to rain, and the mother is going to marry. There's no point in delaying.
"This is Sakurai calling Shinobu. Shinobu, please respond if you hear me."
"This is Donut. My Lord, code name Shinobu needs five donuts to wake up."
"Sakurai received. Donut, please connect to Shinobu quickly. The situation is urgent."
"Roger! Beep beep, buzz buzz." A yawn. "Hmm (Yawn) My Lord, why do you call me? I seem to have heard in my dream that you said you would give me ten donuts" A tired voice, full of childishness.
"My mom is here."
"...?" Shinobu hesitated for a few seconds. Then, through the shadow, she observed Jinguji Tamaki: her exquisite beauty, amber eyes, and the iconic tear mole at the corner of her eye.
This black-haired woman…
Not an ordinary person. Beyond that, Shinobu couldn't see clearly, but the other party's strength was even much greater than her own at her peak.
"Is this my Lord's mother? Are you serious?"
"Adoptive mother." Sakurai explained. How could a high school student's mother be so young?
"..."
Shinobu was silent for a moment, then crawled out of Sakurai Saki's shadow and sat in Sakurai's arms.
"Who is this?" Jinguji Tamaki was puzzled. Ms. Jinguji truly couldn't understand who this blonde loli in front of her was. Could it be that her adopted son had such a hobby? "Sweetie, Mom suggests you… um, of course, it's not bad, it's just…" Tamaki stammered.
People's preferences can be strange, but they can't be illegal.
Sakurai's face was full of black lines as he explained, "This is a vampire. Her age is—"
Just as he was about to say Shinobu's age of over five hundred, Shinobu's voice covered him: "Hello, Grandma! I am Daddy's daughter!"
Her voice was milky and childish. She looked to be about seven years old.
Next, Sakurai Saki found his mother's expression becoming very interesting. Ms. Tamaki was first shocked, then overjoyed for a few seconds, and finally, for some reason, sighed.
"Mom, I'm not married, and I haven't secretly had a child with you." Sakurai Saki had probably guessed her thought process just now. Having a daughter → married → didn't invite me to the wedding → doesn't love Mom anymore.
"Grandma~ Shinobu's mother abandoned Daddy and ran away." Shinobu covered her eyes and made a crying sound. "Daddy is a useless stinky man. He can't even keep his wife."
Sakurai Saki reached out and pinched her cheek from behind. "If you talk nonsense again, you won't get to eat tonight."
"I won't say~ nonsense." Shinobu said indistinctly.
Jinguji Tamaki covered her red lips and giggled a few times, extremely happy. She had been pretending just now. How could her son, who had lived in Kyoto a year ago, have such a big child?
Then Sakurai Saki explained to her his encounter during Golden Week—and the reason why he had saved Shinobu.
Next, after eating and resting for a while, Sakurai Saki finished the Five Sisters' next teaching plan and prepared to rest.
At night, Sakurai Saki slowly opened his eyes.
He turned his head and saw his mother sleeping beside him, her breath as faint as an orchid. The temperature was very high now, so they each covered themselves with two thin blankets. Since they weren't doing dual cultivation, she had suggested sleeping together as a second-best option.
Sakurai Saki still couldn't feel desire for his adoptive mother. He wasn't that perverted.
Suddenly—
Gurgle~
A strange breathing sound came from beside his ear. Sakurai Saki followed the sound and saw Shiro sleeping on his chest, her drool already wetting his pajamas.
"Sweetie~" Ms. Jinguji mumbled in her sleep.
Attracted by her call, Sakurai Saki turned his head. He observed his mother's beautiful face and, finding that she was still sleeping soundly, sighed in relief.
This body is getting worse day by day.
He really wished he could go back to the time when he wasn't close to women.
