"Mmph!!!"
Sensing her teeth being parted, Sakurajima Mai, who had been immersed in the wondrous feeling of her first kiss, opened her eyes.
But she quickly closed them again.
Her mind went completely blank.
She allowed Lin to take whatever he wanted.
Three or four minutes later, Lin released Sakurajima Mai, who was now limp in his arms, her eyes hazy and her pretty face flushed crimson.
Sakurajima Mai gasped for air.
Like a drowning person who had just been saved, she desperately breathed in the fresh air.
"How did it feel?"
Once Sakurajima Mai had recovered a bit, Lin leaned in close to her ear and asked with a soft, smiling whisper.
"I-It was… average…"
Hearing this, Sakurajima Mai felt her face burn. The shyness in her heart erupted like a volcano as she gave an answer contrary to her feelings.
As she spoke, she lowered her head a little.
It seemed she was afraid of Lin seeing her completely flushed face.
"Ah!!!"
Suddenly, she let out a sharp gasp.
Her pupils trembled, her gaze flickering.
Her face was so red it looked as if it might start dripping.
It turned out that after hearing her answer, Lin had opened his mouth and gently nibbled on her soft, sensitive earlobe.
"Still feel average?"
After biting her earlobe, Lin asked again into her ear.
"No…"
Sakurajima Mai's pretty face was beet red.
The shyness in her eyes rippled like water.
She buried her head directly into Lin's secure-feeling chest, where she could faintly hear the powerful, surging beat of his heart.
"Let's form the contract."
Just then, Lin's voice sounded again.
"Form the contract…"
Lost in her bashfulness, Sakurajima Mai was taken aback for a moment.
She lifted her head to look at Lin, a trace of curiosity appearing in her eyes.
"How do we do it?"
"Like this."
Before the words had even left his mouth, Lin captured Sakurajima Mai's red lips once more, then activated his King's Clansman ability.
"!!!"
Sakurajima Mai's eyes slowly widened.
Her eyes trembled, a look of shock inevitably surfacing.
She felt an invisible electric current pass from Lin's lips and tongue into her body, spreading throughout her.
It was a pleasant, tingling numbness.
Her vision seemed to blur for a moment.
A large green sword hung high in the sky, seemingly wreathed in electric arcs.
This was the Green Kingship, the power of Change.
Just like Yotsuya Miko and the others, she faintly saw Lin, seated high upon a throne, like a supreme god-king.
These visions flashed by in an instant.
Then, Sakurajima Mai felt the tingling power within her gather in an embarrassing place.
In her lower abdomen, it formed a source of power.
Wisps of a strange energy overflowed.
Spreading from her lower abdomen to the rest of her body.
Her mind seemed to become sharper.
And her body filled with vitality.
"What is this…?~!"
Sensing the changes in her body, Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but look at Lin, her eyes filled with deep surprise and curiosity.
Lin smiled slightly.
"We just formed a clansman contract. So from now on, Mai, you belong to me forever."
"Through the effects of the clansman contract, you will share my eternal lifespan, remaining forever young and immortal."
"Forever young?!"
Sakurajima Mai's eyes lit up at his words.
She was, after all, a normal girl.
The first thing she latched onto wasn't sharing an infinite lifespan, but the fact that she could remain forever young.
After all, spring returns but people age. Once you grow old, no matter how devastatingly beautiful you were in your youth, you will eventually lose your luster.
A moment later.
"Wait…"
It was only then that Sakurajima Mai belatedly realized something was off.
An eternal lifespan, ageless and immortal!
And he could share it with others!
She instantly sat up straight, looking at Lin in disbelief.
"Can you really do all that?"
Lin nodded lightly. "Of course."
"That's just too incredible!"
Sakurajima Mai exclaimed subconsciously.
"I'm starting to suspect you're not a psychic at all, but an omnipotent god."
The psychics she imagined couldn't do what Lin did.
Usually, it was just controlling fire, lightning, water, wind, and the like.
Or things like clairvoyance, mind-reading, and hypnosis.
"You wouldn't be wrong to think that."
The corner of Lin's mouth curved up slightly.
"Actually, when I'm not being modest, Mai, you can absolutely think of me as a 'god'."
The difference between his current strength and abilities and that of a 'god' was probably just the lack of an element like 'divinity'.
But he had the Myriad Phenomena Cards.
If he really had to, he could borrow the power of 'divinity' to play the part of a god.
"Huh?!!!"
Hearing this, Sakurajima Mai's eyes trembled as she stared wide-eyed at Lin.
Her alluring red lips parted slightly.
The shock in her heart was plain on her face.
Looking at the stunned Sakurajima Mai, Lin smiled and said more.
"So from this day forward, you, Sakurajima Mai, are the shrine maiden who will serve me, this god, for eternity."
"The shrine maiden who serves a god…"
Sakurajima Mai's eyes flickered at his words, a strange feeling blooming in her heart.
To think she could actually meet a god.
And that god was her husband.
From now on, she would share an infinite life with a god, forever young.
Since Lin was a god…
Did that mean He had sensed her dangerous predicament and sought her out specifically to save her?
To think that she had been chosen by a powerful and handsome god.
As this thought crossed her mind, Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but feel a sense of being greatly 'honored'.
After all, this was 'Lord God'.
As these thoughts ran through her mind, Lin stood up, extended his right hand to her, and said with a smile,
"Come on, I'll take you to my divine realm, a world called the Mirage Realm, so you can get used to the power I've given you."
"…Okay!"
Sakurajima Mai slowly returned to her senses, her eyes filled with anticipation. She stood up and took Lin's right hand with her left.
A Gate of Mist manifested before them.
Lin and Sakurajima Mai, fingers intertwined, stepped into the Mirage Realm together.
After the two departed.
The concealment ward that had enveloped the entire park dissipated along with them.
Meanwhile, in the Mirage Realm.
Lin and Sakurajima Mai appeared on the summit of a high mountain.
From there, they could look down upon everything before them.
When she saw the beautiful scenery of green mountains and clear waters, ripples of amazement spread through Sakurajima Mai's eyes.
"How big is this world?"
After calming down a little, Sakurajima Mai looked at Lin curiously.
Lin smiled. "Right now, the Mirage Realm is close to half of Earth's surface area, about 250 million square kilometers."
"It's that big!"
Sakurajima Mai was astonished.
That was half the size of Earth.
Lin said, "And this is far from its limit. The Mirage Realm can grow to a maximum of one hundred times Earth's surface area combined."
"!!!"
Sakurajima Mai's red lips parted at his words.
She was so shocked she was momentarily speechless.
One hundred times the Earth's surface area—just thinking about it was staggering.
After all, in her seventeen years of life, there were still many places in her own country she hadn't been to, let alone the rest of the world.
"Come on, I'll take you somewhere else to test out your power."
As Lin's voice fell, a Space Card manifested, taking him and Sakurajima Mai to a verdant meadow.
He began to teach Sakurajima Mai how to control the spiritual power inside her body.
Half an hour later, at six in the evening.
After her beginner's training session ended, Sakurajima Mai sat on the grass, with Lin resting his head on her rounded thighs.
After placing a grape in Lin's mouth, she suddenly thought of something and asked hesitantly,
"Lin, do you… have other clansmen?"
