"Shinobu, are you alright? You don't look very well!"
After the Pillar Meeting adjourned, Shinobu, who was still kneeling in place and about to stand up, heard a voice coming from behind her. Turning her head to look, she saw Kanroji Mitsuri running up to her quickly with a wide smile on her face. Mitsuri squatted down, bringing her face very close, her tone filled with worry. "Shinobu, your complexion looks a bit pale."
"I'm fine," Shinobu said with a faint smile. She was about to stand up, but due to kneeling on the ground for so long, her legs suddenly went soft, causing her to stagger. Her entire body teetered on the verge of falling forward.
"Kya!"
In that brief moment of distraction, Shinobu only had time to hear a small gasp of surprise from Mitsuri beside her before realizing that a strong force was supporting her right arm, keeping her from embarrassing herself on the spot.
At this moment, Shinobu couldn't help but criticize herself for being too lax today, to the point where she couldn't even endure a standard kneeling posture for half a day.
Following the hand tightly gripping her arm, she looked up to see Giyuu, whose face was always calm and unbothered. His indigo eyes were staring intently at her. Even though she repeatedly signaled him with her eyes to let go quickly, the young man didn't show any reaction.
"Tomioka-san, could you please let go first?" Shinobu said with a smile, making a move to pry open the warm palm resting against her skin, only to find that no matter how much strength she used, his hand remained completely unmoving, firmly anchored there.
Although the other Pillars had already vanished without a trace after the meeting adjourned, leaving only the Love Pillar behind, Shinobu still didn't want Giyuu's unusual behavior at this moment to make others form any strange associations.
"...Kochou, last night..." Giyuu frowned slightly, looking down at the girl in front of him whose under-eyes still bore a hint of dark circles. Even though her orchid-colored eyes were currently rippling with a shallow, calm light, his mind couldn't help but recall the sight of the petite girl beneath him last night, her sparkling eyes brimming with boundless passion.
"Tomioka-san, I told you I'm fine." Shinobu curved her eyes into a stiff smile, discreetly giving Giyuu an elbow strike, deeply afraid that his usually unpredictable mouth would utter some shocking words.
After successfully blocking his words, she realized that his annoying gaze was still lingering on her, making her feel a sudden surge of heat as her smile verged on crumbling.
"Sorry, Mitsuri, I still have some matters to discuss with Tomioka-san. Let's have a meal together next time." Shinobu looked apologetically at her friend, who was holding her flushed cheeks and constantly sizing the two of them up with bright, sparkling eyes.
"Mhm! Go quickly, Shinobu!! Don't keep Tomioka-san waiting too long!" Mitsuri nodded her head vigorously. At the end of her sentence, she even puffed out her cheeks excitedly and continuously waved her hands to cheer on her close friend, making Shinobu cover her lips and laugh softly, feeling both helpless and amused.
After Mitsuri left the room with a flushed face, silhouetted against the warm sunlight outside, the spacious and bright Japanese-style room finally quieted down.
"Kochou... I'm sorry. I went too far last night."
Giyuu looked at Shinobu, who stood in the shadow of the paper sliding door, her face cast in dim, uncertain light by the shifting sunlight. As if possessed, he stepped forward to block the light beside the girl, enveloping her entire body within his shadow.
"If a person doesn't know how to speak properly, then they shouldn't speak at all. Don't you think so too, Tomioka-san?"
Upon hearing this, a vein throbbed violently on Shinobu's forehead. Seeing Giyuu's stubborn, completely unyielding, and characteristically indifferent demeanor, she sighed deeply in her heart.
With her eyes lowered, her toes unconsciously rubbed lightly against the floor. As the cold, crisp scent unique to the young man swarmed in from all directions, she slowly raised her head to meet Giyuu's eyes, which seemed to harbor a turbulent undercurrent.
For a moment, she recalled the events of yesterday in a bit of a daze.
The weather in early spring was always unpredictable, shifting suddenly between warmth and chill.
Even though the morning had been beautiful and sunny, once afternoon passed, the sky darkened. A continuous drizzle mixed with a biting cold wind suddenly poured down, catching pedestrians off guard and forcing them to find shelter from the rain.
Perhaps because they had just sent off the last batch of fully healed swordsmen, the Butterfly Mansion, which had been chaotically busy for days, suddenly quieted down quite a bit. Gone were the scenes of swordsmen wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves during their midday rehabilitation training, and gone was the lively sight of the girls sitting on the veranda laughing and playing during a rare, leisurely afternoon.
The entire Butterfly Mansion was now so quiet that only the faint pitter-patter of raindrops hitting the eaves could be heard.
It was at this time that Shinobu returned to the Butterfly Mansion.
Shinobu's steps were light and swift, not disturbing the support crew members who were still resting inside at all. She calmly returned to her bedroom, carefully took off her haori to hang it on a nearby rack, and casually tucked a few damp strands of hair from her temples behind her ear.
Seeing that her uniform was also slightly damp, Shinobu stood in the room and pondered for a moment. In the end, she went to take a bath. Thinking that she could probably relax for a few days since her mission had just ended, she changed into a simple yukata and left her bedroom barefoot.
She pushed open the sliding door of the adjacent living room. Seeing that a small cluster of flames was still burning in the sunken hearth at the center of the room, Shinobu, on a whim, fished out a bottle of sake from a nearby low cabinet that Mitsuri had sent a few days ago. Half-closing her eyes, she gently shook the pristine white bottle, then placed it onto the small stove to slowly warm it up.
By the time the sake was sufficiently warmed, the wind outside had noticeably intensified. Shinobu slid open the living room's outer door by a small crack.
Sitting calmly on the veranda, she held a small sake cup in one hand, bringing it to her lips to take a light sip. As the slightly astringent taste flowed down her throat, she suddenly frowned and murmured softly, "So bitter."
By the time Shinobu finished drinking the entire flask of sake, the sky had gone completely dark.
She wasn't sure if it was due to the alcohol she had just consumed, but Shinobu felt her vision grow a bit hazy. A wave of heat seemed to course through her entire body, making her feel so uncomfortable that she stepped off the veranda, intending to let the cold wind outside sober her up a bit.
With one hand resting on the sliding door, the moment her foot stepped outside, she spotted a figure standing a short distance away on the pebble-paved path that led to the pond.
At first, Shinobu blinked her eyes in confusion, but once the person stepped into the light, she finally recognized him. A small smile curved on her lips. "Ara, Tomioka-san, good evening."
After finishing his mission, Giyuu had gone straight to the Butterfly Mansion out of habit, intending to undergo a comprehensive check-up. However, after waiting outside for quite a while without seeing a single person entering or leaving, he was just about to return to his own estate when he heard an extremely faint sound echoing within the courtyard.
Following the sound toward the backyard, Giyuu saw Shinobu standing in front of the brightly lit wooden veranda, calling out his name with a bright, cheerful smile.
Different from her usual, somewhat cool voice, her tone right now was sweet and soft, as if a feather were gently scratching against his chest. A tingling sensation shot straight up his spine, causing him to swallow involuntarily.
He couldn't help but step closer by a few paces, until he saw that she was wearing a thin, sheer yukata. In the blowing night breeze, the translucent fabric clung tightly to her exquisite curves. Even a man with immense self-control like Giyuu couldn't help but have his gaze stolen away by the captivating beauty before his eyes.
"Kochou, go inside." Giyuu forced himself to steady his mind. He slowly took off his haori, holding it out to her while deliberately averting his gaze to the side.
"Tomioka-san, you've only just arrived and you're already bossing me around like this, are you?" Although Shinobu felt a wave of annoyance, she still reached out to take the split-patterned haori that carried his body heat, holding it tightly to her chest with a faint smile on her lips.
In the end, Giyuu was still no match for the quick-witted girl. Without a word, he nimbly leaped onto the wooden veranda. Just as he went to pull Shinobu directly into the room, he caught a faint scent of alcohol on her. His eyes widened slightly in surprise. "...Kochou, have you been drinking?"
"Yes, Mitsuri gave it to me." Shinobu nodded with rare obedience, but the moment he grabbed her arm, she detected an extremely faint scent of cosmetic powder coming from his uniform.
Shinobu didn't resist at all along the way, allowing him to drag her inside. She watched Giyuu's back as he closed the sliding door. The moment he turned around, she stepped forward to grab his collar, tilting her head up to gaze at the fleeting embarrassment in his eyes.
"Why does your uniform have the scent of a girl's makeup powder on it, Tomioka-san?"
"It was a demon disguised as a courtesan."
Feeling her chest pressing tightly against him, Giyuu turned his head away uncomfortably, not wanting to look into the eyes of the flushed, dazed girl before him.
"So Tomioka-san, you personally went to lure the demon out, did you?" Shinobu didn't understand why she was clinging so stubbornly to this clearly insignificant issue right now. She shook her head hard, attempting to wake her incoherent self up.
However, seeing Giyuu's indifferent look as he refused to say more, all her rationality went up in smoke, and the fire in her chest blazed up once again.
The smile on Shinobu's face became increasingly sweet.
She suddenly used her strength to push the unsuspecting Giyuu to the ground, straddling his waist in one fluid motion. "Did you have to get this close to catch that scent?" She slowly lowered her body, half-lying over his firm frame.
"Kochou, stop fooling around."
For the first time, Giyuu realized that a drunk Shinobu could be this difficult. Propping himself halfway up, he wanted to pull away the girl who was clearly heavily intoxicated and squirming wildly on top of him.
However, he discovered that her yukata had come undone at the front at some point, the entire right sleeve sliding down past her elbow.
At this very moment, all he could see before him was a patch of fair, snowy skin, accompanied by a faint, delicate fragrance that drilled straight into his nose.
"...You're drunk." Giyuu felt all the blood in his body rush straight down to his lower half. Looking at her increasingly close, beautiful face, his voice grew hoarse. His slightly trembling knuckles gently tugged at her hem, still trying to make a final struggle as he closed his eyes, just about to pull her collar back up.
He heard her exceptionally soft, sweet voice ring out right beside his ear, "Tomioka-san."
Giyuu slowly opened his eyes, only to see Shinobu tilting her head with a bright smile, her hands actively undoing the sash tied around her waist.
Without any hesitation, she threw open her robe, instantly exposing her snow-white body in its entirety before him.
"So, do you want to be stained with my scent?"
This was the final straw that broke the rationality Giyuu had been tightly maintaining.
Shinobu only felt a sudden bout of dizziness, and then her back rested against a bundle of soft fabric. Blinking her eyes, she looked up at Giyuu, whose expression was hard to read, only able to faintly glimpse a dangerous storm brewing deep within his eyes as the dark color in them grew heavier.
Only now did she feel a lingering fear, parting her lips slightly to catch her breath, but all her subsequent words were blocked by his long, deep kiss.
One could only hear short, faint whimpers occasionally escaping from her as their lips and tongues intertwined, which were then stolen away in the next instant as he, with a rare display of force, parted his mouth to take her soft lips into his own, plundering all of her breath once more.
"Mmm... nh..."
Shinobu's cheeks were flushed crimson, a pool of shimmering tears overflowing in her eyes, her lips and tongue long conquered by Giyuu's hot, wet tongue.
Tilting her neck halfway back, she trembled violently all over the moment her soft chest was fiercely kneaded by him, the low moans escaping her mouth becoming increasingly sweet and soft.
Meanwhile, Giyuu took advantage of the moment when the girl beneath him was slightly dazed, cupping her fair, tender cheek with one hand to deepen the kiss even further.
He first gently kissed over her full lips, and then, a bit clumsily but still completely irresistibly, darted his tongue into that sweet-scented little mouth, tightly entangling with her lips and tongue.
For a time, even their breaths blended closely together, no longer distinguishable from one another.
The increasingly sweet and honeyed sounds from Shinobu reaching his ears caused the darkness in Giyuu's eyes to instantly deepen.
His free left hand slowly caressed the smooth, soft skin of the girl beneath him, gliding from her slender, straight thighs, circling a few times at her slightly sunken waist dimples, and then continuing all the way up along that slender waist, unhesitatingly reaching for the full softness of her chest.
"W-Wait... Tomioka-san... mmm..."
Blushing furiously, Shinobu noticed his calloused palm—hardened from years of wielding a sword—constantly fondling her chest. When that slightly rough texture grazed her skin, it brought an indescribable rush of pleasure. It made the girl, who had never experienced intimacy before, somewhat restless, unconsciously arching her body to rub directly against his chest.
Her faint, tiny voice involuntarily carried a soft, sweet quality that made one's whole body go numb.
When Giyuu finally released her lips and tongue from their tight entanglement, Shinobu, her face completely flushed, gave him a sharp glare.
"...Kochou, I'm sorry, I can't wait any longer," Giyuu said in a low, husky voice.
He felt his entire body grow heated from her glare. Seeing her softly exhaling breaths, her full chest trembling with every breath she took, Giyuu's breathing hitched. Instead of stopping, he deliberately gave the full swells of her chest a powerful squeeze.
Giyuu's gaze fell upon her perky, pink nipples. His eyes darkening, he leaned down to gently nibble at that rosy pink, while his right hand similarly didn't spare the other side, fiercely kneading it. Once it reached a certain point, he swapped sides, causing the overwhelmed girl to pant for air, whimpering and whining as broken moans spilled from between her teeth.
At the same time, Giyuu quietly slipped a hand into the seam of the light white underwear she was wearing, effortlessly tugging the garment down a bit. Right then, Shinobu felt a sudden wave of chill hit her lower body, making her instinctively clamp her legs together to stop him from invading further.
However, once things had gone this far, there was no turning back.
How could Giyuu allow Shinobu to back down at this point? His mind was completely filled with the image of the exquisitely seductive girl beneath him, causing his breathing to grow heavier. His left hand had already beaten his thoughts to the punch, dipping deep into her thin underwear.
Upon touching her flower petals that were already leaking a bit of moisture, he hooked his long finger, plunging a single digit into that narrow thicket.
"Mmh?! Tomioka-san... there... no... mmm..."
When Shinobu felt a foreign object invading her lower body, she twisted uncomfortably, her legs trying to close together again, only to be forcefully blocked by his knee wedged between them, leaving her unable to move. With her cheeks flushed crimson, she bit her lower lip, desperately trying to restrain herself from making any more shameful sounds.
However, she didn't expect Giyuu to heavily bite her lip. Caught off guard, she parted her mouth. The deep kiss that suddenly blocked her left her mind entirely blank and her limbs weak. She even involuntarily wrapped her arms around his neck, her fingertips tightening slightly when she touched his equally scalding skin.
While kissing her, Giyuu pushed his finger deeper into her passage, gently teasing the inner walls to relax the tight entrance a bit.
Once the moist interior could fully accommodate one finger smoothly, he immediately slid a second finger inside, pressing his finger pad against her opening to slowly caress it.
At this point, he felt her body trembling slightly as she panted uncontrollably, the sweet fluids flowing from the narrow passage already nearly soaking her thin cotton underwear through.
The girl, clearly fully aroused, had her entire body covered in an alluring flush. The sight of this beautiful picture instantly made Giyuu's throat itch, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. Swallowing with difficulty, he thrust both fingers deep inside simultaneously.
When they brushed against a plump little nub, he pressed down slightly with his fingertip, hearing Shinobu suddenly gasp as a rush of slick fluid slowly overflowed along his knuckles.
"Tomioka-san, you're so cunning... you haven't even taken off a single piece of clothing."
Shinobu, who never showed weakness in front of him, saw that he was still fully clothed while toying with her, throwing her into a mix of shame and anger. Even though the waves of heat constantly surging from below were about to completely submerge her, she still refused to admit defeat. With a flushed face and slightly trembling hands, she unfastened the hidden buttons on his uniform one by one.
Giyuu watched Shinobu struggle stubbornly with his uniform despite her body shaking violently and the low whimpers never once ceasing from her mouth, causing a flash of tenderness to cross his eyes.
Quietly pressing against that little nub a few more times, Giyuu felt the moist, warm inner walls slowly contracting. Taking advantage of the fact that the passage was already sufficiently lubricated, he quickly added a third finger. In addition to confirming that the narrow path could accommodate him, he continuously stimulated and pressed against her core.
After a few times, he saw her body tense up, suddenly letting out an extremely short cry. The moment her flower passage instantly gushed out a large amount of fluid, his fingers were also soaked entirely.
"Ah... th-there... no... ah!"
Shinobu was completely overwhelmed by the lust continuously delivering itself from her lower half. The burning sensation spreading through her entire body made her almost lose herself in it near the end.
Even after that heart-pounding climax concluded, her shoulders were still shivering, her body collapsing limply onto his haori, her consciousness—which had already drifted far away—unable to return for the time being.
Seeing that she was still immersed in the afterglow of the previous wave of pleasure, Giyuu immediately stripped her underwear completely clean.
After hooking her fair, slender legs around his waist, he pulled down his own waistband, pressing his member—which had long been swollen, hot, and clamoring—against her narrow entrance.
A rare hint of restraint leaked from his hoarse voice, "Kochou, bear with it."
"Ugh—it hurts...!"
Tears welled up in the corners of Shinobu's eyes. Before she could even complain about him talking absolute nonsense, a piercing pain drilled straight up. The moment he thrust inside, she felt an illusion as if her lower half were about to be torn apart.
She was in so much pain that the tears pooling in her eyes finally spilled over, completely clearing her previously hazy consciousness in an instant.
Seeing her delicate face contorted into a tight frown and her cheeks completely covered in tears, Giyuu immediately stopped his movements. Although slamming on the brakes at this moment was incredibly difficult for him, causing a few drops of cold sweat to break out on his forehead, he still endured it.
Lowering his head, he gently kissed away the tear tracks on her cheeks while using one hand to lightly stroke their point of union, hoping to alleviate her pain.
It wasn't until he felt Shinobu's tense body gradually relax and the pain on her face fade away, replaced instead by a few soft, sensual moans, that Giyuu finally exhaled a long breath. With a resolute expression, he pushed his lower half a bit further into the narrow passage.
"Ha... nh, ah..."
Once the pain slowly subsided, the stretched, full sensation in her lower body made her feel like that previous wave of pleasure was flowing back. Along with his slow and steady thrusts that hit deep inside time and time again, that wave of heat made her pant continuously, and her legs wrapped tightly around his firm waist involuntarily squeezed tighter.
Giyuu felt that her sweet, soft whimpers right now were like inescapable aphrodisiac incantations ringing in his ears, making his lower half inexplicably grow even more scorching hot. His usually indifferent face now flushed with a hint of crimson.
Holding her slender waist, he thrust into her inner core at alternating speeds, sometimes going so deep that a hint of a sob involuntarily leaked into her voice.
"Mmh... Tomioka-sa... ah... no, I'm going to... ah!"
Her desire, which had already been stimulated to the point of exploding again, accompanied Giyuu's countless fierce conquests and his repeated grazes against Shinobu's extremely sensitive spot. It left the girl with the corners of her eyes flushed red and her eyes brimming with tears, wanting to tell him to slow down a bit.
However, she didn't expect Giyuu to suddenly deliver a powerful thrust, causing her entire body to stiffen, completely collapsing limply into his arms as she lost all her strength.
Looking at the dazed and out-of-it state of the girl in his arms, Giyuu suddenly leaned down and began to knead her highly erect nipples.
Just as Shinobu flushed and wanted to stop his hands from exploring further, she felt the part of him still buried inside her swell by a fraction once more.
She widened her eyes in sheer disbelief, looking at him with a mix of shock and suspicion, only to see that although his face still held its usual cold, composed expression, the dark crimson at the corners of his eyes betrayed his current state.
Giyuu's deep blue pupils, heavily tinged with lust, were staring unblinkingly straight at her.
Seeing this, Shinobu struggled to get up, but she was directly pinned down by him. The words of protest she had intended to voice instantly transformed entirely into sweet, soft moans.
"Sorry, Kochou... I don't think your scent has completely rubbed off on me yet."
