"Miko-neesan, you've just started using Psychic Exorcism, so you must use it cautiously."
"The ability consumes a fair amount of energy."
"You also need to pay attention to the distance, or you'll just waste your strength."
"...Mhm, mhm."
On the small road at night, the girl held the little shota's hand, looking like a pair of siblings. But their conversation was completely reversed. The little shota issued one careful instruction after another. The girl, in turn, resembled a younger sister, nodding obediently in response.
Her gaze was still somewhat unfocused. Tonight's events had unfolded too quickly. She still hadn't fully processed everything. Compared to the fact that Asa was an Incubus, the incredible fact that she had mastered Psychic Exorcism was, along with the insatiable feeling and the faint afterglow still lingering on her body, far more memorable.
However, her maidenly reserve and Asa's young age created a conflicting sense of guilt in her heart.
Asa looked at Yotsuya Miko's face and vaguely sensed the internal struggle she was having.
"Miko-neesan, I already told you I'm a grown-up Incubus!"
"You saw for yourself, too..."
Miko turned her head away shyly. Asa was certainly big.
"Besides, all of this is a necessary step for you to learn how to exorcise, Miko-neesan!"
Hearing this, Miko paused, then suddenly felt a sense of clarity. Yes, that's right! It's all for the sake of learning exorcism! She had only just mastered Psychic Exorcism, so she would need to practice much more to improve!
The girl, having had a taste of the forbidden, was very eager to improve!
"Oh, right, this is today's payment." Miko solemnly took out several bank notes, which looked to be about 50,000 yen.
Asa accepted it without hesitation. Although, considering the evening's activities, he felt like he had earned this money by selling his body.
Miko walked Asa to the station. As she was debating whether to see him all the way home, a black sedan slowly pulled up beside the two of them.
The car window smoothly descended, revealing an elegant and charming face: Mrs. Yukinoshita.
"Auntie Yukinoshita..."
"Asa-kun? Why aren't you home yet at this hour?" Mrs. Yukinoshita's cool voice carried a hint of sternness. She then slightly furrowed her brows, scrutinizing Miko, who was standing next to him.
Miko's body instantly stiffened upon hearing Asa's address. She knew Asa's background: he grew up in an orphanage and had only recently been adopted by the Yukinoshita Family. That meant this beautiful woman was Asa's official guardian!
This realization instantly panicked Miko, who had just committed mischief with Asa. Especially as she was being thoroughly examined by the imposing Mrs. Yukinoshita, she felt the nervousness of a daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law.
"This is Miko-neesan, Yukino-neesan's classmate. I came to play at her house."
"H-hello, Auntie Yukinoshita!" Miko stammered nervously, bowing stiffly to Mrs. Yukinoshita.
Yukino's classmate? Is Yukino getting along so well with Asa-kun that he's already visiting her classmate's house?
Mrs. Yukinoshita's narrow, beautiful eyes narrowed further, her gaze lingering on Miko for a long moment. Only when cold sweat began to bead on Miko's back did Mrs. Yukinoshita shift her attention.
"Asa-kun, get in the car. We're going home."
Asa opened the car door and turned to wave goodbye to Miko.
Miko watched the luxury car drive away, finally allowing her body to relax and letting out a slow sigh of relief.
"Yukino-senpai's mom... she's terrifying!" This was the first time she had felt such an overwhelming aura from such a beautiful woman.
"But, I won't back down!" Recalling her time with Asa, Miko clenched her fist in determination.
....
Back to the Yukinoshita Residence.
In the car, Mrs. Yukinoshita remarked, "That Yukino girl, really, just leaving someone on their own like that!"
"Well, I wanted to go myself, so it's not Yukino-neesan's fault."
"By the way, Auntie Yukinoshita, you must be tired after a long day of work. Let me give you a massage!"
Mrs. Yukinoshita was slightly surprised but didn't refuse Asa's kind offer, leaning her body slightly towards him.
Mrs. Yukinoshita was wearing a figure-hugging black dress today. While it showcased her elegance, it also accentuated her perfect figure. As Asa pressed her long, fair shoulder and neck, he could clearly feel the soft, supple skin of Mrs. Yukinoshita, which was no less smooth than a young girl's.
Mrs. Yukinoshita didn't have high expectations for Asa's massage; she just didn't want to reject a little shota's kindness. However, the moment Asa's small hands began to press her shoulder and neck, her body gave a slight tremor. Each press brought with it a strange sensation. It was, quite simply, very comfortable. The fatigue accumulated over the past two days rapidly melted away.
Unconsciously, she parted her lips and let out a soft moan.
Mieko, sitting in the driver's seat, listened to the subtle sounds emanating from the back and her expression became increasingly strange. But she dared not ask or speak.
....
At the Yukinoshita house, Yukino sat alone in the living room, holding a book titled [One Hundred Ways to Deepen Bonds with Younger Siblings] and reading it carefully. Haruno was a college student who only came home on weekends. Mrs. Yukinoshita, of course, was even more unpredictable, sometimes not coming home even on weekends. So, for the most part, Yukino was alone at home.
She had originally thought she could maximize her affinity with Asa during their exclusive time together. But she never expected Hoshino Ai to suddenly appear and cut into her time. This gave her a significant sense of crisis. So, today she had specially gone to the library to pick up this book. She planned to seriously study a strategy.
"For instance, bathing him and playing with water; these are children's natural tendencies..."
"Like sleeping with him and telling him stories before bed..."
"These methods are suitable for children under ten. The younger the child, the easier it is to cultivate affection..."
Yukino's cool, beautiful face blushed slightly as she read the methods, but her eyes were thoughtful. With her intelligence, her subconscious immediately deemed these methods unreliable. But then she thought of Asa.
"No matter what, I'll try it first..."
"Why isn't Asa-kun back yet..."
Just as the thought crossed Yukino's mind, the front door opened. She happily stood up, only to see her mother walking in, holding Asa's hand. The faint smile that had just curved her lips instantly vanished, and she sat back down.
Mother and daughter locked eyes, and the air seemed to freeze slightly.
Asa sighed internally; the relationship between mother and daughter was too stiff. He had no choice but to break the awkward silence by greeting Yukino.
Yukino was about to put her plan into action when she heard her mother speak.
"Asa-kun, go to the bathroom. I'll run your bath."
The words stuck in Yukino's throat. I thought of it first... I even ran the hot water already...
Watching her mother lead the obedient little shota into the bathroom, Yukino fell silent.
