The barrier around the shrine remained for three full days. For seventy-two hours, the shrine was closed to the public, leaving many pilgrims grumbling at the gates.
During these three days, Ethan and Ophis came to know every inch of each other. The sexy, black-haired mature goddess found all three of her exquisite "caves" thoroughly explored and developed by Ethan. By rotating between her mouth, her tight flower, and her sensitive rear, Ophis managed to keep pace with Ethan's relentless stamina.
While three days wasn't the limit for either of them, Ophis's injuries had stabilized, and her new body had fully integrated with her essence. Though she wasn't at 100% of her original peak yet, it was time to conclude this particular session. The outside world wouldn't wait forever.
The Kyoto school trip had officially ended. Thanks to Yasaka and Kunou's influence, Ethan's three-day disappearance hadn't caused a scandal. Once she realized Ethan was "busy," Rossweisse had taken the initiative to lead the students back to Kuoh Academy.
Notably, during those three days, the worldviews of Aika Kiryuu, Katase, and Murayama had been completely shattered and rebuilt. Aika, possessing significant magical talent, was taken under Rossweisse's wing for personal tutoring—a clear path toward becoming a member of Ethan's peerage. Katase and Murayama lacked that innate spark, so they were relegated to the pool of "future beauties" for Ethan's collection.
"Ethan-sama, Ophis-sama."
As the barrier dissolved, Yasaka, Kunou, and a group of shrine maidens immediately greeted them.
Ethan and the now cool, aloof Ophis walked side by side. All traces of their three-day marathon had been scrubbed away with magic, and they wore fresh clothes. Ethan looked normal, but Ophis's outfit was a bit... provocative. Ethan didn't have much "modest" female clothing in his storage, so a tight, short JK (high school girl) uniform was the most "normal" thing he could find.
"Ethan-sama, Rossweisse-san left a message. They have already returned to Kuoh," Yasaka reported. She led them to a private room for a prepared feast while the other maidens went to clean the "disaster zone" that was the cultivation room.
Ethan nodded and began to eat heartily. Ophis had no appetite; she had been "filled to the brim" for three days straight, both top and bottom. Ethan, however, had been the one doing most of the work and needed to replenish his stamina.
"Yasaka, there's no need for such formality," Ethan said with a smirk. "We are already 'one' in every sense of the word."
Yasaka blushed, her posture stiffening slightly. Kunou, back in her petite fox-girl form, was far more lively. She sat next to Ethan, pouting. "Exactly! Mother and I have already dual-cultivated with Ethan-niisama. It was my first time, why act like strangers?"
Kunou didn't know it was her mother's first time too, and Ethan saw no need to mention it. Kunou then shot a competitive glare at Ophis. If it weren't for this big-breasted woman, she and her mother would have spent the last three days glued to Ethan.
Yasaka was mortified by her daughter's boldness, but seeing that Ophis didn't mind—and even gave Kunou a playful pat on the head—she finally relaxed. She realized that even a legendary Dragon God was now "family" through Ethan.
