Chapter 586: Why does it seem so immoral?
Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu
After school.
Seiji headed over to the Juumonji mafia group's residence and explained to Hisashi about training in the Domain.
Hisashi fell silent when he learned that the demons there might be connected to Hell and influence him negatively. But, he then broke out into laughter.
"I've already been through the real Hell. Who cares about some Domain?"
"I apologize for treating you like an experimental subject." Seiji was truly apologetic.
"Kaede and I are definitely the best choices when considering that we should be more resistant against Hell's influence. And since it's an experiment, simply me going alone will be sufficient." Hisashi adjusted his eyeglasses. "This is a reasonable arrangement. I understand how it is. There's no need for you to apologize."
Seiji could only smile in response to Hisashi's smile. "I shall prepare a full set of equipment for you, and then contact you about the time for the training."
He then asked about how little Anna was doing. Hisashi told him that everything was well and that the artificial intelligence Anna was being an excellent financial advisor for his investments.
Kazuhiko Haiga was also living a quiet and peaceful life, just like an ordinary otaku.
Seiji said goodbye after chatting for a while.
Later that night, he contacted Hana and explained the basic situation about Kazufuru to her.
"You've even gathered a transgender individual to make your harem even more abundant. Congratulations~"
"That's not it at all!"
'I really did start a harem, though… but I don't dare to tell her that.' Seiji felt rather guilty inside.
"The important part is her Domain ability. If those demons have no negative influence on the Awakened, it means that we have a great training grounds for cultivation that we can enter and exit freely at any time. It'll be far safer to train there than in a Spirit World," Seiji told Hana seriously. "It's a great thing for such an individual to become our teammate. In exchange, we need to help them separate from each other and obtain any relevant information to this process."
"Split a soul in half and separate them into two individuals… I think it's impossible. It's not like humans are earthworms." The cat-eared hat girl on the computer screen folded her arms.
'I've already used that analogy, dear younger sister.'
"Natsuya also said that it would be impossible. But, I'll still try my best. That's what I promised."
"…Fine, I'll see if I can gather any information on this. But, don't have too many expectations."
"Thank you. Also, I intend to take Hisashi Juumonji with me to train in the Domain. I need to prepare a full set of Spiritual Equipment for him."
Hana also agreed to help provide the Spiritual Equipment.
If Hisashi could train in the Domain and improve his strength without receiving any negative influences, then the entire Knight Order could cleanse the Domain as a daily training, leveling up as if they were playing a dungeon RPG game!
This was really important to him. Seiji wanted to hurry and start Hisashi's training to see how it would go.
After finishing the discussion with Hana, Seiji went to the living room to pour himself some tea.
He saw little Reo with an earpick, seemingly wanting to use it.
"Harano onii-chan, could you please help clean my ears?" She made such a request when she saw Seiji.
"Sure."
Seiji sat down and had Reo lay down on his lap as he used a clean earpick to carefully and gently clean out her ears.
Cleaning a loli's ears and seeing her react to him putting something inside her gave him an indescribable feeling.
Seiji entered her as gently as possible in order not to hurt her.
Reo felt that it was incredibly comfortable to lay on her Harano onii-chan's lap as she enjoyed his careful service. Her entire expression became soft and cute.
Shika arrived at the living room to see this scene, causing her to blink.
After Seiji finished cleaning Reo's right ear, he blew gently on her ear before he switched over to her left ear.
After he finished cleaning her left ear, Reo still didn't want this to end and wanted him to clean his ears for a while longer.
"They're already plenty clean. Continuing to pick at your ears will be bad for you."
Seiji coaxed her to get up from his lap and go back to the bedroom to sleep as early as possible.
Shika silently watched him.
"Would you like to try as well?" Seiji indicated at her with the earpick.
Shika blushed slightly as she nodded.
And so, Seiji continued his ear cleaning service for his adopted younger sister.
Shika instantly felt incredibly comfortable when she felt her Brother Seiji reaching inside her and gently moving around.
Lying on his lap, feeling his warmth, and enjoying his service… was truly wonderful.
Seiji felt a sense of accomplishment when he noticed that Shika's expression also became soft and cute!
He went in slightly deeper as he gently and softly moved around.
"Ahh enn~~" Shika couldn't help but moan cutely.
He moved around again.
"Uuu…"
Alright, everything was clean now.
Seiji blew on her ear.
Shika instantly went numb as her body trembled and her face reddened even further.
Seiji felt an even stronger sense of accomplishment upon seeing the look of addictive pleasure on his adopted younger sister's face!
He switched to the other ear and continued.
It was so comfortable that Shika moaned out loud again.
Seiji entered her gently and stopped right before reaching the farthest point inside and used the perfect amount of strength, even better than earlier.
Shika felt hazy, as if she was floating and having a beautiful dream.
She wanted this sensation to go on even longer. Yet, this beautiful feeling soon ended.
"Brother… let me help you do it as well."
Shika sat back up and said that with a red face.
Seiji instantly felt his own ears starting to itch when he heard this.
"Alright… thank you." He handed her the earpick.
He lay on Shika's legs and felt her softness as he inhaled her faint fragrance. He then experienced an indescribable sensation of comfort.
A lap pillow plus ear cleaning was too wondrous!
Seiji's expression also went soft all over.
He felt reassured, comfortable, and blessed as if he was having a beautiful dream, as if he was in heaven…
…Even though they were doing something pure, why did it seem so immoral?
That surely had to be nothing more than a mistaken impression. Seiji decided not to think about it and simply enjoyed himself.
After the pleasurable experience.
"You made me feel really comfortable," praised Seiji.
"Same to you, Brother."
"Let's do it for each other again next time."
"Yeah."
Thursday was a day of inclement weather.
Dark clouds filled the sky and a chill permeated the air. This caused people to recall that winter hadn't completely left them.
Seiji received a phone call from Natsuya at almost the exact same time as the previous morning.
"Last night, not a single one of the Spirit World locations transformed into a Spirit World." Natsuya told him important new information. "This is the first time such a thing has happened ever since Spirit Worlds appeared."
Seiji remained silent as he mulled it over.
"This helped to remind everyone that Spirit Worlds are still an unknown phenomenon. It's possible for them to disappear at any time." Natsuya sighed. "But, after experiencing Spirit Worlds, the Spiritual Ability users won't easily accept the Spirit Worlds disappearing."
Seiji understood what Natsuya meant.
Those who made sacrifices when exploring Spirit Worlds, those who obtained benefits from Spirit Worlds, and those who planned on going to Spirit Worlds… it would be impossible for such individuals to simply say "Let's forget about it" in reaction to the Spirit Worlds' disappearance and not care anymore.
If Spirit Worlds really stopped appearing, people would gradually be forced to accept the new reality even if they didn't want to.
But what if the appearance of Spirit Worlds was something manmade and controllable? In that case…
"If the Spirit Worlds are actually being controlled by someone, this is the timing that the controller will appear soon."
The game's free-to-play trial period, or beta test, was now over, and the game developers were now going to charge money… Seiji figured this situation was akin to such an analogy.
"The controller is probably the Soul World faction. My guess is that they'll make an announcement such as demanding to stop all investigations of the Midnight Incident if people still want to go to the Spirit Worlds," Seiji extrapolated.
"That's quite possible. Apart from asking for overlooking this incident, they might even request even more conditions," Natsuya stated softly.
Spirit Worlds were something that contained far too many potential benefits for Spiritual Ability users to ignore.
All factions would definitely act to steal these benefits if they could. But, the harsh truth was that it was impossible for them to steal the benefits… no, it was that other factions didn't even know how to steal them!!!
In this situation, the true controller of the Spirit Worlds had the absolute advantage. Using Spirit Worlds as a bait to make other factions ignore the Midnight Incident was completely possible!
A little more than two months had already passed since the Midnight Incident on New Year's. Was the Soul World faction… finally about to reveal themselves in public?
