An Anomaly in the Divine Realm

Shuya the Way.

"Inoue- kun doesn't seem to feel anything?"

Tsuruko's expression was subtle.

"Well, I'll know the answer soon anyway, and as long as I don't think about those things, I won't have any problems."

Shuya twisted his wrist.

"That's enough for today. I don't think you're in the mood for cultivation anymore."

Shuya spoke to them.

"Then let's all call it a day."

After saying that, Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head and left.

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

"... goodbye."

After the Aoyama Sisters left, the Yukinoshita Sisters also left.

Shuya a moment, letting the wind blow on him, thinking to himself, "Could it be that Li Shuhong saw through my problem, which is why he left so quickly?"

He was unaware of the truth about himself.

Shuya returned home and forced himself not to think about it too deeply, simply waiting for the Bon Festival to arrive.

He slept well, and when he went to cultivate again the next day, everyone tacitly avoided mentioning the incident.

As time went by, Rena soon took the Quintuplets back to her hometown.

Three days Bon Festival, Shuya set off with Shizuka Hiratsuka others. Haruno pestered him to come along, Shuya figured that as long as she didn't enter the Divine Domain, nothing would happen, so he let her come along.

He booked four rooms at Rena's hotel so he could keep a close watch on her.

The journey went smoothly, Shuya and his group landed on the Small Island and checked into a hotel.

Shuya lazy to explain Shizuka Hiratsuka and the others' background to Rena's family, so he pretended not to know them and acted as if they were just tourists.

The Quintuplets were overjoyed to see Shuya and immediately pestered him to play with them.

After telling them not to play too wildly, Rena asked Shuya to play with them instead.

Shuya naturally agreed.

Shizuka Hiratsuka and the others stayed at the inn to observe Rena.

Shizuka Hiratsuka said, "Emmm, he really does look like an ordinary person."

Tsuruko laughed, "But she really is very beautiful. No wonder Inoue- kun likes her."

"Hmph, whether he really likes her or not is another matter."

Shizuka Hiratsuka said something, Tsuruko fell silent.

"You seem to have figured something out?"

Haruno asked curiously.

Yukino sighed, "Sister, don't ask anymore. You'll find out when the time comes."

Motoko nodded. "Furthermore, it's best not to discuss this privately in the territory of unfamiliar deities."

So what do we do now?

Haruno asked.

Shizuka Hiratsuka replied nonchalantly, "Whatever. Things haven't even started yet, so there's no point in doing anything. You can go shopping or have fun, whatever you want."

"Oh... Yukino- chan, shall we go for a walk?"

It doesn't matter.

The Yukinoshita Sisters went shopping.

"Then, Motoko, let's go check out the surrounding terrain."

"Okay, sis, I'll go!"

The Aoyama Sisters went to the back mountain.

Shizuka Hiratsuka went to a hot spring and drank alcohol.

Shuya excitedly led around by the Quintuplets, playing all day long.

In the evening, after having dinner with Shuya and the Rena, Shuya returned to his room.

As night fell, Shizuka Hiratsuka and the others arrived one after another.

Shuya first looked at the Aoyama Sisters: "I heard you went to survey the surrounding area today? What did you find?"

Tsuruko Aoyama shook her head. "Motoko and I took a look at the Shrine from afar, and sure enough, we couldn't get in; it's hidden away."

"Well, in that case, I don't need to confirm it later."

Shuya had originally planned to sneak into the Shrine at night.

Motoko said, "Besides... we didn't see any foxes either."

They've all gone inside the Shrine.

Shuya replied.

This happened the previous three times as well.

After the Aoyama Sisters finished speaking, Shuya looked at the Shizuka Hiratsuka and Yukinoshita Sisters and asked, "And what about you two?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka: "The hot spring is wonderful."

Haruno: "The street has a unique charm."

Yukino: "... I'm tired from walking."

Shuya: "..."

You guys are really here to have fun?

Seeing that they were too relaxed, Shuya reminded them, "You're all too carefree. Last time I triggered the chain's punishment mechanism; I wonder if there will be any dangerous changes."

"That would only happen after you enter the Divine Domain."

Shizuka Hiratsuka disagreed.

Shuya didn't try to persuade him further; he wasn't in the mood.

"Do as you please. As long as you don't try to attack the Shrine, most operations should be fine."

"... I'm going to soak in the hot springs."

Shuya left with a frown.

Shizuka Hiratsuka watched his retreating figure and sighed, "Seeing him looking so gloomy, I really want to punch him."

"Hehe."

Tsuruko smiled, then suddenly had an idea.

After apologizing to everyone, she left.

Shuya went straight to the hot spring, where no one would be around at this time, so he could soak comfortably.

Besides, there aren't many people in the hotel; it's not even full yet.

Shuya took off his clothes in the changing room and went into the open-air hot spring.

As he sat down to wash himself, his ears twitched; he heard footsteps that shouldn't have been in the men's locker room.

Then, the door was pulled open with a clatter.

Tsuruko Aoyama appeared, wearing a bath towel.

Shuya tell that she wasn't wearing a swimsuit under her bath towel.

Large swathes of her fair skin were exposed to the air, creating a striking and alluring effect against the backdrop of her long, black hair.

Because of the transformation of her aura, Tsuruko Aoyama's physique no longer resembles that of a high school student; she appears quite mature.

Her bare, pale white feet approached step by step, her private parts trembling slightly.

Shuya pondered for a moment and asked, "Miss Tsuruko, what's going on?"

"Let me scrub your back for you, Inoue- kun. Also, I think it's fine to just call me Tsuruko, given our friendship."

"Okay, Tsuruko why did you suddenly decide to help me scrub my back, Tsuruko?"

"I hope to help Inoue -kun relax and get in top form... Hmm, Inoue- kun, do you dislike having someone brush your back?"

"No," Shuya sighed, "To have a beauty like Tsuruko serving me is something I couldn't ask for more."

"Then why are you sighing?"

Tsuruko Aoyama knelt behind Shuya and skillfully used a towel to brush Shuya's back.

"I'm just in a bad mood."

Shuya squinted and enjoyed it:

"That's great. Tsuruko, how come you're so skilled?"

"I often bathe with Motoko."

"Is that so? Having siblings really makes things different for an only child like me."

Tsuruko Aoyama smiled and used a towel to brush his back.

Shuya caught a whiff of a delicate fragrance, which made him feel restless and distracted.

Tsuruko glanced down and smiled knowingly, "Oh my, Inoue- kun is really energetic."

"So-so."

Shuya felt he wouldn't lose out anyway, so he shamelessly refused to fire.

He simply pulled the towel over his head.

After Tsuruko finished scrubbing his back, she put down the towel, squeezed some shower gel onto her hands, and placed her slender, delicate hands on Shuya's shoulders, her soft, boneless hands sliding down his upper body.

"Hiss---"

Shuya was starting to feel the strain.

How can a girl's hands be so soft?

Tsuruko Aoyama also added a massage; as a martial artist, she was very familiar with this relaxing massage technique.

During the massage, Shuya felt a little drowsy.

Tsuruko helped him rinse off with water, waking him up.

Then, just as Tsuruko's hand was about to move again...

P. S.: I wonder if this level of content will get me banned?

Just as she was about to continue, Shuya grabbed her hand in time, preventing the world from being destroyed.

He said seriously, "Calm down, I'm only nine years old."

"How can a nine-year-old have so much energy?"

Tsuruko asked with a smile.

Shuya humbly replied, "It's nothing special, nothing at all!"

"Hehe, Inoue- kun is really interesting."

Tsuruko Aoyama came up from behind and gave Shuya a warm Shuya: "Good luck."
