Inyouchuu Kyou Chapter 5 Part 4

(No, no, don’t…… Stop it! I don’t want it!! I know that it’s supposed to feel disgusting…… but for some reason…… for some reason it feels incredibly good……!! A-At this rate, I, I…will be turned into a youma’s seedbed before long……!!)

She knew that. But even though she knew, there was absolutely nothing that she could have done about it.

If Mandi was not by her side at all times, Rinko was unable to do anything by herself.

She was a completely dry and useless person.

「Oh, great Dairaijin, Karaijin, Kokuraijin, Retsuraijin, Jiyakujin, Doraijin…… Waka Raijin on my left side, Doraijin on my right side…… Miraijin above me, Fukuraijin below me……」

From the other side of the room, Rinko could hear Mikoto’s voice, calm and composed, like the tune of the musical instrument. She was currently trying to summon the Thunder God in here, to this very room, using her own body as a divine vessel.

「I am right here, in honor of myself, borrowing the soul of the God of Thunder…… Burn them all down, Raikou……!!」

—— In the moment, a pure white light burst forth.

At the same time, a deafening roaring sound echoed across the mortuary, and the windowless room vibrated violently all around.

The swarm of tentacles that filled the room vanished in an instant.

「Mugiyuwah!?」

Rinko, who up until now was hanging upside down near the ceiling, fell face-first onto the floor beneath her.

* * *

Mikoto slashed through the dimensional gate that had been set inside of Sui’s womb together with the small fry youmas with a single strike of her sword, and let out a sigh of relief once she did that. In order to summon the Thunder God, she exhausted all of her spiritual energy she had accumulated all at once and collapsed onto the floor, completely exhausted and unable to move.

But at the very least the hordes of disgusting tentacles no longer overflowed from inside of Sui.

Of course, Mikoto was still worried about Sui, but she could clearly see her big breasts wrapped in a nurse uniform slowly moving up and down in a steady rhythm of her breath. As she approached her and shook her slender shoulders, Sui’s pale face twitched and her pink lips moved slightly apart.

「She’s alive…… I’m so glad…… What a relief……」

Relieved once again tonight, Mikoto immediately changed her mind’s focus and gathered the spiritual energy into the palm of her hand.

Right about now her utmost priority should be waking Sui up and then the three of them should just make their escape from here. But even when Sui was going to be awake, she would probably be in no condition to be able to walk on her own, but it was a whole lot better if she was still unconscious, because they would have to carry her and be even more defenseless that way.

「Wake up. Please wake up, Sui…… Please, hurry it up!」

Mikoto had no idea if Sui was put to sleep by the use of some medicine, of if her consciousness was sealed away with the use of spiritual arts, but if the spiritual energy inside of her womb would reach a certain critical levels, her body’s self-defense functions should kick into action and she should naturally wake up. So Mikoto placed her hand on top of Sui’s large chest and started to send her own aura into her, but it was bound to take a lot of time because her healing powers were not all that high to begin with. On top of that, since she had just used such a powerful move in battle, she didn’t have enough energy left in her, so there was no way that it would be such a smooth sailing.

(Don’t be hasty now, myself…… There’s no point in sending her an empty energy. First, I’ll have to work out my own energy, gradually build it up and make it potent, and then send it to Sui……)

Mikoto took a deep breath and focused on the meridians inside of her body. She then focused the energy that they started to produce inside of the palm of her hand and she continued to channel it all to Sui.

And while Mikoto was busy with doing just that,

「M-Mandy…… Mandi!? Where are you……!? Where are you, Mandi……!?」

Teary-eyed Rinko crawled past Mikoto, wobbling around her head. Apparently she was looking for her teddy bear that was knocked off by her tentacles somewhere around the room. For a while Mikoto was worried about her since she seemed to have face-first into the floor, but she did not seem to be hurt anywhere.

「Hey, Rinko! If you have time, help me out here, why don’t you!?」

「Nooo, I don’t want this…… Mandi, where are you!? Oh now, he is not here…… Mandi… Mandiii……!!!」

Rinko did not respond to Mikoto’s words, only continued to cry with tears falling down her face, and then she continued crawling towards the door.

The room was about ten tatami mats in size, but there was nothing but a bed in the center of it. On the other hand, that stuffed animal that Rinko was always carrying with her was so big that she could easily hide behind it if she only wanted to do so. So there was no way that they would miss it if it was still here.

So a natural conclusion was this: if they couldn’t see it here, it was not here in the first place.

「Mandi, where are you……!? Please answer me……!?」

Rinko, who was crawling while calling out her bear’s name with her tearful voice, found herself in a pitch-black corridor through an open mortuary’s door before long. The toes of her black leather shoes were reflected in the corner of Mikoto’s sight for a while longer, before it almost disappeared.

「Is this perhaps what you are looking for?」

「Uhh, ahh…… Mandi!」

Rinko smiled when she saw her teddy bear swaying in the air on its own.

She opens her small hands wide to receive her important friend from someone who was kind enough here to give it back to her.

「Ugeh!?」

Just then, there was a sudden blow delivered right to Rinko’s stomach, the shock of which sent her flying back inside of the room that she just so happened to crawl out of.

「R-Rinko……!? W-What happened, Rinko!? …… Ahh!!」

Surprised by the small girl who just rolled down under her feet, Mikoto turned around in a hurry, and noticed a fat man who looked like a toad sneaking in from the only entrance to the room, and then she gasped heavily.

「W-Who are you……!?」

「I’m the humble Director of this very clinic, Hongouin Naoki, at your service. Who is that person? She seems a little too cute to be a mere thief? And who are you, missy? I find it hard to believe that a thief would be carrying around a katana like that……」

「Don’t you dare play dumb with me, asshole! You are a sorcerer, aren’t you!?」

Mikoto pointed the tip of ‘Raikou’ at the man in the white coat standing at the entrance to the mortuary while preparing herself to protect Sui who was still lying on the bed.

Her expression was brave and aggressive, but inside of her chest, severe regret and impatience were swirling violently. She took her eyes off the door, which was the only entrance to the mortuary. Partly because she was still wary of being attacked by the tentacles from behind, and partly because she wanted to get back to waking Sui up as soon as possible. But if she was to do that, she would be like a sitting duck to the enemies.

That, and also,

(I don’t have enough spiritual power left to fight and wake Sui up……)

Trying to save Sui as soon as possible, she burnt out all the small fry youmas that filled the room in an instant, not caring about the cost and consequences of such actions. Her body was still able to move by some miracle, and her Exorcism Sword ‘Raikou’ was still here and did not disappear, but,

「Hmm, hmm, I see, I see. So you have already figured that part out, huh? Oh well, then I guess it just cannot be helped, right?」

From the grinning man, a terrifying eerie air, as dense as tar on the verge of hardening, would blow Mikoto’s way. He might not look like it, but Mikoto understood it in an instant: that was not an opponent that she would be able to take all on her own.

「Rinko…… Hey, Rinko! Stay with me, Rinko! Keep it together! I will try to attract his attention, so you use your powers to wake Sui up as soon as possible…… Hey, Rinko!? Are you even listening to me!?」

The one-eyed girl who was supposed to be dependable and way more experienced than Mikoto and Sui, was holding her knees under Mikoto’s feet, her tear-stained face down and trembling.
