In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

Xia Mu slowed down his chewing speed slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips as he thought of a girl with a determined look in her eyes.

"Yes, Ms. Natsuki. Although that child's grades have dropped a bit recently, Mikiko has always trusted her. With her recent hard work, she should do very well. After all, Ms. Natsuki tutored her before, so Sayuri certainly won't disappoint you, hehe..."

Mikiko chuckled as she spoke, and suddenly a certain image flashed through her mind—

The scene of Sayuri and Natsuki massaging her in the room while she was studying, the unprecedented comfort she felt, seemed to linger in her mind. She suddenly realized that it was from that moment that she had developed a faint affection for Natsuki...

Thinking of this, Mikiko couldn't help but rub her legs together, feeling as if a switch had been turned on in her heart, filling her with a strange feeling, and even the blush on her face became more delicate and alluring.

"Is that so...?"

Natsuki muttered to himself, thinking to himself that if he wasn't mistaken, Sayuri had gone to her friend's house—

"Oh? Mrs. Mikiko, I think I've already finished my dinner. I'm so sorry!"

Looking at the empty plates in front of him, Natsuki said apologetically, but Mikiko smiled nonchalantly, "It's alright. Natsuki-sensei went to all this trouble to come all this way, and you finished everything. It means you appreciate Mikiko's cooking skills, which is a very happy thing. After all, Mikiko has been..."

As if remembering something, Mikiko's face flushed with a breathtaking shyness once again. She could only stand up and clear the dishes while saying to Natsuki, "Natsuki-sensei, you should rest for a bit. I'll take care of the rest."

Is it really possible?

"Yes, Ms. Natsuki."

Mikiko smiled at the man again and carried the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen. When the tap was turned on, Natsuki saw a figure swaying and busy in the kitchen. The "rhythm" in her every move made Natsuki stare in a daze.

However, his expression didn't last long. After regaining his senses, he walked to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

"Phew, that feels good..."

The gentle clinking of kitchen dishes and chopsticks, the occasional humming from someone, and the warm light overhead all brought Xia Mu a sense of peace. It was precisely these moments that he had always cherished. Thinking about the possibility of facing even more terrifying enemies in the future, Xia Mu felt fearless.

Bring it on, whoever it may be! I will overcome all difficulties so that this important moment can last a lifetime!

Xia Mu made a bold statement in his heart, but his gaze suddenly fell on the cabinet next to him and he found that one of the photos on it had been removed.

Thinking back to the dangerous scene that happened here, Xia Mu was not surprised by the situation. After all, such a terrible thing had happened. How could the mother and daughter, who were once the closest people to each other, face their old friends with the same attitude?

These thoughts flashed through Xia Mu's mind. He simply tilted his head back, listening to the sounds coming from the kitchen and the cozy environment. Before he knew it, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, leaving only soft, rhythmic breathing as he slowly exhaled through his nose...

“…Mr. Natsuki? Mr. Natsuki?”

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Mu heard a familiar voice in his ear and slowly opened his eyes. At the same time, he subconsciously raised his palm, and the softness he felt made him unable to resist kneading it a few times.

"Um……"

In an instant, a suggestive sound came from ahead. When Xia Mu saw that his hand was on Mikiko's chest, and the young woman in his eyes had a shy look of desire on her face, he immediately swallowed.

Gudong!

“Natsuki…Teacher, Mikiko wanted to remind you that you might catch a cold if you sleep in the living room. If you feel tired, please stay in Mikiko’s room…”

Mikiko seemed unaware that men's physical condition had now reached an inhuman level, making them immune to common minor illnesses and pains.

She was just showing concern for the man as usual, unaware that this unintentional concern would suddenly explode in his heart!

"Mikiko, I..."

……

Chapter 238 Mysterious Visitor

"Ah!"

Sayuri, who was writing furiously at her desk, suddenly sneezed. After rubbing her nose, she couldn't help but look puzzled: "Strange, I have this inexplicable feeling, it's like..."

Before, she might have wondered if she had caught a cold, but after obtaining the power of holy light, her physique, like Xia Mu's, was far superior to that of ordinary people under normal circumstances, and she would not get sick easily.

On the other hand, her ability to sense danger has become even more acute than before. It is precisely because of this sense that Sayuri has been able to avoid many life-threatening dangers.

However, upon closer inspection, that inexplicable feeling quickly faded, causing Sayuri to tilt her head in surprise: "Huh?"

"What's wrong, Sayuri? Have you run into some trouble?"

Across the table, Rika, who was also doing her homework, noticed Sayuri's expression and couldn't help but ask her what was wrong.

"Rika, did you feel something appear just a moment ago?"

Is it a ghost?

Rika subconsciously placed her palm on the [Sacred Artifact], her expression becoming even more serious. However, no matter how she tried to sense it, she couldn't detect anything unusual.

"I didn't find anything, Sayuri-san. This must be your imagination, right?"

"Didn't even Rika notice? Or maybe it really was just my imagination?"

Sayuri shrugged helplessly, glanced at the notebook where most of the work was still unfinished, and scratched her head in frustration: "Damn it, I've fallen behind on so much homework, I'm really hopeless!"

She simply put down her pen, leaned forward, and lay face down on the table. From Rika's perspective, she could see that Rika's breasts were squeezed into an unknown shape, and the glimpse of her breasts made Rika quite envious.

Although Rika is already quite well-developed compared to her peers, and her figure is even more proportionate than Sayuri's, ever since she saw a certain man flirting with several women with hot bodies, she had a thought: if she could have a body part of that size, perhaps men would pay more attention to her?

Indeed, Rika had to admit that ever since she became entangled with Natsuki and the others, she, like Sayuri, had gradually fallen in love with the man named Natsuki!

She couldn't explain why she had such absurd thoughts. She hadn't felt much when she saw Natsuki being courted by a female classmate before, but lately, every time she saw a man with Natsuki, Rika couldn't help but think how wonderful it would be if she were the one with that man!

However, due to her personality, unlike Sayuri, she doesn't directly express her feelings for men. Instead, she buries those feelings deep in her heart and pretends to be normal. But whenever her eyes meet those of a man, her heart pounds. Even though she has no experience in love, Rika quickly understands that it is the feeling of being moved.

In addition, as Sayuri's friend, Rika felt guilty towards Sayuri every time she felt attracted to a man. She even saw Shirashima, who was also a girl of holy light, showing a similar expression to Natsuki on several occasions. Rika finally realized that it seemed that there were quite a few people besides herself who were secretly in love with Natsuki!

Suddenly, Rika remembered something, her lips parted slightly, and she softly asked Sayuri, "Sayuri-san, could you tell me what you were like when you first met Natsuki-sensei?"

Sayuri blinked, not understanding the meaning behind the girl's words. She just thought about it for a moment, and then a warm expression appeared on her face.

"Well, since Rika-san wants to know, then I'll tell you..."

As Sayuri recounted the story, Rika quickly envisioned a scene: a morning like any other, a man appearing before her like the rising sun. Stimulated by both drowsiness and sleepiness, the man's words reached her ears, causing her heart to flutter slightly.

"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Xia Mu. I hope we can get along well in the future..."

"...How was it? Wasn't it a dreamlike encounter? At that moment, Sayuri felt like she was dreaming, especially Natsuki-sensei's gentle smile, which is deeply imprinted in my heart. No matter what difficulties I encounter, as long as I think of that smile, Sayuri will be filled with boundless strength!"

As Sayuri spoke, she placed her hand on her chest, her face radiating an expression of unwavering happiness. Seeing this, Rika couldn't help but murmur again, "If only I could be like Sayuri..."

"What are you talking about? Rika-san, what do you mean by 'like me'? Just be yourself, isn't that enough?"

Hearing Sayuri's words, Rika's face flushed instantly. She had unconsciously blurted out her true feelings, meaning Sayuri might have already guessed her feelings for Natsuki-sensei...

Fortunately, after observing the other person, Rika found that their expression had not changed and they seemed unaware of the deeper meaning behind her words, which put her at ease.

"Sayuri, you're right. Just being yourself is the most important thing in the world. Rika has learned a lot!"

The girl returned a sincere smile, but her face held an expression that Sayuri couldn't decipher. Sayuri could only blink, feeling a little strange, but she still sat up straight again.

"Yosh! Sayuri has fully recovered! To fulfill my promise to Natsuki-sensei, I need to keep studying hard! Go go go!!!"

After being encouraged by the girl, Rika was also inspired and nodded, joining the girl in continuing their "life-or-death battle" with the homework in front of them!

squeak-

The chirping of insects in the height of summer echoed from outside the window as two girls studied diligently, the camera then panned to the outside of the shrine.

Suddenly, wisps of hazy black mist emerged from the corner, and in no time, they enveloped the entire street.

pat!

pat!

pat!

From within the black mist, a figure wearing a top hat slowly emerged. As he reached the entrance and gazed at the towering shrine before him, he murmured, "This must be it."

Behind it, the shadow began to sway eerily, and a pair of red eyes slowly emerged from the shadow, the bloody aura within them seeming to surge forth at any moment!

Chapter 239 Rika's Abnormality

boom!

The sudden sound made Rika subconsciously look across, only to see a girl with twin ponytails completely slumped over the table, her occasional breathing indicating that she had fallen asleep.

"Is it already this time?"

Rika glanced at the clock on the wall and realized it was already two o'clock. She subconsciously rubbed her forehead and looked at the girl opposite her with a helpless expression: "It seems Sayuri-san will have to rest here for a while. I wonder if there are any extra blankets in the next room..."

She stood up gently, afraid that her movements would wake the girl, walked a few steps to the door, quietly opened it and went out, only then did she relax.

"I remember, Mom put the blanket in..."

As she pondered, the girl walked down the corridor and soon arrived at a room. After opening the door, she skillfully pressed the light switch and then walked to the display window, where she saw several quilts.

"found it!"

Rika was about to take out the quilt when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a face she had been longing for day and night in the window beside her…

"Natsuki... Teacher? What are you doing here?"

The girl exclaimed in surprise. She had been thinking about someone not long ago, and now she was seeing him in her own house. What a coincidence!

"Rixiang...Rixiang...Rixiang..."

The man opened and closed his mouth, uttering the girl's name. That familiar voice made Rika's heart race. Thinking of the words she had heard from Sayuri not long ago, she could no longer control her emotions. She suddenly opened the window and rushed into the man's arms in a few steps.

"Natsuki-sensei... Rika can't control herself anymore... I really like her so much... Natsuki-sensei..."

The girl continued to speak, expressing her feelings for the man, her face buried deeply in his chest, as if she wanted to merge with him.

The man simply smiled and reached out to stroke the girl's hair. That gentle gesture made the girl even more captivated, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on the man's arm.

“Natsuki-sensei…Rika, I…”

So deeply moved was the girl unaware that a flash of red light suddenly appeared in the man's gaze as he looked at her. Still immersed in this hard-won tenderness, the shadow behind the man suddenly swelled up, and the next second it opened its mouth wide, swallowing the two of them whole!

……

In the same room, a girl with pigtails suddenly woke up from her sleep. She rubbed her eyes, seemingly not fully conscious yet, until she looked at the clock and saw the hands pointing to something. She was so startled that she jumped up!

call out--

"Oh no, oh no, oh no! It's already this late?! Damn it! I promised Mother I'd be back before midnight tonight! How did I fall asleep?!"

Sayuri sighed deeply, but then her expression changed again as if she had just remembered something: "Oh right, since it's so late, why don't we just stay overnight at Natsuki-sensei's house... cough cough, I just want to see my dear Nanako-chan, and it's nighttime anyway, so I might as well visit Natsuki-sensei while I'm at it! Let me reiterate, that's all Sayuri wants, I absolutely have no intention of taking this opportunity to sleep with Natsuki-sensei! That's right!"

The girl muttered to herself, finally noticing that Rika, who should have been opposite her, had disappeared. In the large room, she was all alone. A gentle breeze blew through the window, making a soft "whoosh" sound. The girl subconsciously crossed her arms over her chest, pushing her breasts out again... revealing alluring curves.
