Chapter 692.: 692.
「 How was it, Edie? 」
Michi asks Edie who came out together with Luna and Yomiko from the sauna room .
「 NO PROBLEM! 」
Edie said with a smile .
「 I see . 」 Then, it’s our turn next . Let’s go over there 」
Michi looks at Tsukiko .
Over there? The sauna room?
「 Yes, please teach me 」
Tsukiko said and starts to get out of the warm water .
「 What’s that about? 」
I’m curious .
What are they doing in the sauna room?
「 Controlling the power, teaching them how to switch it ON and OFF in particular 」
Edie replied .
「 During the incident earlier, Takakura-sama is connected with us, so they seem to understand how to control it to some extent 」
「 From now on, it would be troublesome if they can’t cut out their own power completely 」
Completely stopping the power?
「 Otherwise, the Tsuki Miko power will be too noisy because it could hear the voices of people’s mind around 」
「 It has to be completely cut off or else the power will be active in some reason or another . That would mean that one can’t go to trains or elevators 」
I see . She’s right .
The voices from the minds of people must be too noisy .
「 It’s the same as radios . If you power it on and mute the volume if anyone bumps to it and the volume’s moved, it would become loud 」
For example, someone bumping shoulders by accident, she could read that person’s mind .
If the mind of the other person she doesn’t know for the first time comes to her head, then .
That’s a bit troublesome .
「 It’s the same with the Yomi Miko power . If it was yesterday’s Yomiko-sama then even if she used her power directly to the person she’s confronting, the effect of it will diminish over time . That’s the extent of that power 」
Yeah, even if she orders someone, once they get home, they’d wonder why they made that kind of promise with her .
Therefore, Misuzu who came back to Tokyo after receiving Yomiko’s order felt something out of place from Yomiko .
Yomiko’s power is absolute, so the command remains recognized as something natural . Therefore she shouldn’t feel any discomfort .
「 But, it’s gonna be different now . You have to cut off the power, or you can’t even joke killing all the Japanese now 」
「 Yeah, it would be like that princess who killed all of the Elevens, right?~ 」
I don’t get Nei’s example, but I see where she’s coming from .
「 What it means that if she gets to a fight with a friend and she said: “Die you idiot!” That person would 」
Oh, I see .
「 That’s why she has to learn how to turn off her power properly 」
Edie said .
「 Edie and my skills deal with Qi, so we know how to turn our abilities off and on 」
Michi and Edie can sense Qi .
However, if they always strain themselves any time and anywhere, then their fatigue will reach the limit .
Therefore, the two learned to master how to turn it off from the start .
「 The sauna room is narrow, so it’s excellent when dealing with Qi . The heat is also useful . It heats up your mind and body . But, it’s limited to three people at a time . Therefore, I trained Yomiko and Luna first 」
「 Tsukiko-sama and I am next 」
I see .
「 Edie-san and Michi-san’s training is very similar to our shrine maiden training . 」
Yomiko said .
「 Or should I say that it’s much more reasonable compared to ours 」
「 Yeah, It’s easy to understand when they teach us, and I think that the results will come out soon enough 」
Luna’s impressions seem to be going in the right direction .
The training in Takakura shrine is a mix-match of the original shrine maidens from the Meiji era and the wandering shrine maidens who settled down, and nobody fixed it up .
On that point, Kudou style and the assassination cults have reorganized to a modern system .
「 Then, Nii-san, we want to leave it to Nii-san on how we will use this power from now on 」
「 Me too . Sensei 」
Luna, Yomiko .
Are you entrusting that to me?
「 Of course that includes me, Kou-sama 」
Tsukiko smiles .
「 Awakening to this power made us understand that the “Miko power” is too big to deal with . We can’t decide for ourselves on how to use it 」
Luna said .
Tsukiko and Yomiko have awakened their powers, though shallow, but still .
The young Luna didn’t awaken to her power until now .
That’s because she received all of Tsukiko and Yomiko’s power and even the Qi Michi and everyone sent in . Therefore she awakened to her power suddenly .
「 This power is too big . I’m scared of it 」
「 Yes . Therefore, the wandering shrine maidens in the past have a priest from Takakura shrine with them, the priest is the one who hears the requests of the Yakuza 」
Luna and Yomiko said .
They were having too much of such oversized power .
So that’s why they got involved with the Yakuza?
「 No matter how strong your Miko power is, it’s nothing absolute . It’s true for both Tsuki and Yomi power 」
Ruriko said .
「 That’s right . Of the other party knows that the Takakura shrine maiden has the Yomi power, then it has no effect at all . They’ll never want to meet up . Or they’d even kill all those who met that particular shrine maiden . They don’t know what kind of order that person received after all 」
Nei’s right .
If they know about it, then the threat is gone .
「 Huh, why? Why can’t we just give an order to the bosses to the minions using the Yomi power and let them follow themselves? 」
Mana said .
「 Or, maybe, using the Tsuki power, you can know the secrets of the Yakuza and the threats they have 」
Indeed, if you have the Miko power, that’s possible at first glance .
「 It would be impossible gathering all of the Yakuza bosses in one place, for example, the Takakura shrine . You can’t just have one or two people receive it . All the members of the Yakuza organization have to be commanded all at once 」
Nei replied .
「 For example, a boss comes to Takakura shrine and is ordered “Give me 100 million yen” with Yomi power or threatened with Tsuki power . Then, that boss comes back to his place and says “Uhm, let’s donate 100 million yen to Takakura shrine,” what do you think will happen? 」
That’s .
「 Obviously, those who are under that boss and even the bosses from other Yakuza would think “Just what the hell happened to that boss? Is he going crazy?” Furthermore, they’d think “Oh right, he went to Takakura shrine . Did something happen over there?” And they’d know right away . If that continues several times, it would be exposed that Takakura shrine had a suspicious “power” in hiding 」
That’s right .
We can’t have it one by one .
The bosses have their own organization .
Once someone speaks out something that is off their logic, then the people around that person will find it strange .
The first one might end well that you might get 100 million yen as per order, but .
The second one will be cautious, it’s impossible .
「 Perhaps doing that for real would expose it 」
Tsukiko replies to what Nei said .
「 Furthermore, during the Meiji era where the Yakuza started interacting with the shrine, the Yomi shrine maiden’s power is diminishing, one can’t obey for a long time . Even if the wandering shrine maiden’s Tsuki power can read the secrets of the other party, the shrine maiden and the priest don’t dare to threaten them 」
Yeah, the shrine maiden and the priest are both ordinary humans .
They can’t possibly try to threaten the boss of a Yakuza .
「 Therefore, the nature of the Takakura shrine maiden being the arbitrator is a form of punishment for the loser of the game from the start 」
Nei?
「 The boss of Yakuza in disputes says that they want to have sex with a Takakura shrine maiden, meaning that they’ll have the same woman and form friendship, or… 」
Actually, they’re afraid of experiencing their mind read by the shrine maiden during sex .
Or maybe, it’s some order .
No, the secrets of the bosses are read by the shrine maiden and are seen by the other boss .
「 Thinking that they’re used for that kind of punishment, they allowed the Takakura shrine maidens to exist . That’s how the Yakuza thinks 」
「 However, that theory isn’t plausible unless we assume that the Yakuza rivals don’t know of the Miko power 」
Misuzu said .
「 Yeah, therefore, the elders who are part of the higher ranks of the Yakuza organization witnessed the dispute between the two groups and see the power of the Takakura shrine maiden while keeping it a secret to the others for now 」
Actually, Andou, a Yakuza who come to Takakura shrine a lot doesn’t know about the arbitration ritual or even the Tsuki Miko power .
「 The bosses who have received the arbitration had their humiliating past exposed so they will never talk about it to others 」
If someone knows that their mind was read, then it would be fatal .
「 Yomiko-chan’s Yomi power was thin, so she survived to the last moment . It was camouflaged to hide the secrets of Takakura shrine 」
It can be laughed at if Yomiko’s power loses its effectiveness after several hours .
However, Takakura shrine has such power, so the boss of Yakuza keep their faith .
Nobody questions the arbitration ritual nor Tsuki power .
「 Then, what about the child of arbitration? 」
Tsukiko asks .
「 I can understand the reason why one can’t read the other person’s heart unless skins touch 」
Sex is a necessity for the arbitration ritual .
「 But, the idea of giving birth to a child is a bit… 」
Yeah . Pregnancy is a result of sex, but,
The rule of the arbitration ritual is to force pregnancy and childbirth .
「 That’s to make sure that the shrine maiden won’t receive retaliation from the boss who just his mind read 」
Nei replied .
「 So the idea is that they won’t make a move if there’s a possibility that the child is theirs? 」
Ruriko asks .
「 No . There’s nothing more humiliating for women than to be forced to become pregnant and give birth 」
Humiliation .
「 “You gave birth to my child . Serves you right,” That would mean that the boss already got his revenge, and so he usually won’t try to get revenge 」
Nei says “usually” caught my attention .
Tsukiko’s father, boss Oodori .
He wants the Takakura sisters .
We speculated that he was afraid of the shrine maiden who read through his mind but,
We saw it in Tsukiko’s memories earlier .
Oodori is obsessed with his own daughter, Tsukiko .
He was looking at Tsukiko with obscene eyes .
Oodori’s purpose is maybe that .
「 Then, why were we born? 」
Luna speaks lonely .
「 To become my woman 」
I replied immediately .
「 Nii-san 」
Luna looked at me .
「 I got the gist of it . No matter how much power the shrine maidens have, in the end, they have to accept Yakuza’s protection 」
I return to the topic .
Nothing moves forward even if you trouble yourself asking “Why am I born . ”
I have to change the topic to “How do I live . ”
「 And so, that protection would change from the Yakuza to Jii-chan and Kouzuki SS . 」 I’ll deal with the negotiations . I’ll make sure that Tsukiko, Yomiko, and Luna won’t be in danger anymore 」
Even if they dispatch their personnel, the conditions still have to be examined .
「 Of course, I’m dumb, so I’ll ask for everyone’s support . Okay? 」
「 Naturally . Danna-sama . Does anyone object? 」
Misuzu calls out to the women in the bathroom .
Everyone agreed .
I’ll ask for help from those who aren’t in this room, Katsuko-nee, Shou-neechan, Rei-chan, and everyone .
「 But, I’ll make the final decision no matter what . Besides, I’ll protect you all from danger, but if you were in one, I’d come to help no matter what . That’s why don’t worry anymore 」
I promised .
「 Once we’re out of the bath, I’ll talk to Minaho-neesan 」
I’ll accept the Takakura sisters, not Kuromori .
Tsukiko, Yomiko, and Luna are all mine .
「 Kou-sama 」
「 Sensei 」
