"Ayaka!"
"anata~"
In their first duet, the accompanist Jack and she called out each other's names.
Together, the two pushed the music to a climax.
[Ritual Achieved]
[Love and Marriage Indicator: Kamisato Ayaka]
[Reward Dispensed]
Their first collaboration, poured with heart and soul, received the approval of the Sacred Sakura Tree, the arbiter.
The first stage of the Love and Marriage ritual was completed.
Therefore, Jack also received a phase reward.
A small crack appeared directly on the god's eye he had put away, revealing a 1/5 area of Electro element.
At the same time, he could feel that he had gained some authority over Aralia Element Power.
But now was not the time to care about this trivial power; instead, he needed to properly care for the great contributor to this ritual, Miss Kamisato Ayaka.
"We succeeded, Ayaka."
"Really? Phew, good thing it succeeded on the first try."
Kamisato Ayaka's heart rate had not yet calmed down.
After all, doing such a sacrilegious thing in front of the Sacred Sakura Tree, the object of Inazuma's faith, felt somewhat thrilling no matter how she thought about it.
But she not only did it, but she did it with such abandon.
The madness just now made her feel like her waist was about to break.
Jack understandingly reached out and pressed on Ayaka's side waist, and the healing Aralia Element energy began to spread.
"Absorb this Aralia Element essence I'm giving you well. After the first digestion, it should increase your strength by at least twenty percent."
"That powerful?!"
Ayaka looked at Jack…'s lower body in surprise.
Thinking about whether to ask for more.
That way, if she became stronger, she could share more of Jack's burdens.
"Ahem, strength is something that cannot be rushed. Just slowly digest and absorb it. Too much at once can cause over-nutrition, just like a certain blonde Traveler."
Jack stopped Ayaka, who was transforming into a succubus.
Little Angel Ayaka was enough; there was no need for a second succubus like Lumine.
However, just as the two were intimately licking each other, unexpected footsteps approached.
"Guuji-sama!!"
Kamisato Ayaka felt her heart almost leap out of her chest, and she was about to bow and apologize.
Jack pulled her back.
"Don't worry, I used an Aralia Element barrier to mimic the surrounding floor and environment. She can't see us now, not even our voices or scents."
"Is, is that so?"
Kamisato Ayaka carefully watched Yae Miko, who was walking down the corridor in a single robe; indeed, the latter seemed not to have noticed them, her gaze sweeping around.
She knew that Yae Miko also had feelings for the Traveler.
During their last meeting, Yae Miko had revealed this information as an exchange.
So, meeting with her superior's beloved and desecrating the sacred tree she guarded, right in front of her superior.
This strong sense of immorality brought Kamisato Ayaka an unprecedented joy.
She turned to look at Jack.
"anata, how about we… do it again?"
"Oh, you, you've become naughty too."
Jack's Aralia Element Power had been permeating the surroundings, so how could he not know the little schemes brewing in the young girl's heart?
He tapped Kamisato Ayaka's forehead, then lifted her up to his front, embracing her.
The joyous melody began again.
...
"Thunderous Wabi-Sabi!"
"All-Encompassing!"
Boom!
A fox-shaped heavenly lightning descended, directly covering the entire central courtyard.
Then a male voice came, and a golden shield appeared out of thin air, blocking the heavenly lightning.
Since they had been discovered, Jack directly removed the Aralia Element barrier, and the scene of him and Kamisato Ayaka desecrating the Sacred Sakura Tree appeared before Yae Miko.
Thump!
Yae Miko's eyes widened.
It was like a heavy hammer striking her heart.
Am I still dreaming?
No! That's not right! This is reality!
"Heh heh, little Ayaka, I didn't expect the Traveler to conquer you on his first day in Inazuma, and even bring you to a place like this to do such a thing. What, are you trying to declare your sovereignty to me?"
"No… it's not like that, Guuji-sama, we are… we are completing a ritual!"
"Hmph! What kind of ritual requires a man and a woman to do such sordid things to complete? Do you think I've been Guuji for five hundred years for nothing?"
Yae Miko didn't want to hear her excuses, but instead looked at the only man present.
This scoundrel, where are you putting your hand? You're still rubbing! If you keep rubbing… if you keep rubbing, do you believe I'll cry for you to see?!
"Alright, I won't rub anymore then."
Seeing Yae Miko's tearful gaze, Jack removed his hand from Kamisato Ayaka's outer armor, and with a wave of his large hand, he produced two robes to cover himself and Kamisato Ayaka.
The commotion he and Yae Miko caused was quite loud; it might attract other shrine maidens soon.
Yae Miko, however, suddenly reacted, frowning and saying, "You can hear my thoughts?"
Jack smiled and raised his hand, condensing a ball of Aralia Element Power: "Now I can also use elemental power. It's just some superficial application, nothing worth mentioning."
"Heh, so you rely on this ability to make all women dance to your tune?"
"Not really, I rely on two other things."
Yae Miko wanted to hear his opinion and asked, "Which two?"
"Sincerity!"
"And it!"
Seeing the direction Jack pointed.
Kamisato Ayaka, who had just experienced its power, blushed.
Yae Miko, on the other hand, spat.
"Shameless fellow."
Thump! Thump! Thump!
From afar, a flurry of footsteps approached.
Jack directly said to Yae Miko, "Your people are here. Ayaka and I will hide for a bit."
Then, the grass element power spread, and their figures vanished again.
Yae Miko clutched her chest, feeling a painful surge of anger. "Is this your crude elemental application? You only do sneaky things, hmph!"
"Lady Guuji!"
"Lady Guuji! We heard an explosion and woke up. Has something happened here?"
Dozens of shrine maidens, both young and old, who resided at Narukami Shrine, walked over.
Only a few deep sleepers remained in their quarters.
"It's nothing. Just some petty monsters who dared to invade my Narukami Shrine. I have already exorcised them."
"As expected of Lady Guuji! So powerful!"
"Do you need us to clean up the battleground?"
Upon hearing the words "clean up the battleground."
Yae Miko's imagination, honed by years of reading novels, instantly conjured up a scene of Jack and Kamisato Ayaka in a fierce battle, making her feel utterly flustered.
"We'll talk about cleaning up tomorrow! You all go back and rest!"
The group of shrine maidens looked around, feeling that their Lady Guuji seemed a bit off today.
But due to Yae Miko's usual prestige, they dared not provoke this great Yokai divine attendant, so they all obediently retreated.
About ten minutes later.
After confirming everyone had disappeared, Yae Miko walked towards the central courtyard.
"Hey! Little one, how long has it been? You wouldn't be pulling our Kamisato Family's young lady into some ceremony again, would you?"
Her words fell, and no one answered her.
Yae Miko's expression instantly darkened.
Gone?
Or…
"Migu!"
Just as she was pondering, an arm emerged from the void and directly pulled her in, startling her into letting out her true fox cry.
Subsequently, Yae Miko also vanished within the concealment of the grass element barrier.
