15 Days
The moment he vanished from sight, Nakagami Risa threw her arms around my back.
"Senpai. Why'd you send Wada away?"
"You noticed?"
"It was way too obvious."
"Obviously I got rid of the third wheel."
Rustle, rustle.
Before I knew it, Nakagami Risa had undone her sash and was slyly baring her bare skin. The firm, springy press of her breasts against my back was already starting to get me worked up.
"Senpai. Hagawa's right here."
"I know about you two. She can join. I don't mind."
"……!!"
Hagawa Ryoko's eyes went wide. Nakagami Risa did whatever she wanted, whether Hagawa Ryoko was watching or not. She peeled off my shirt and ran her slender hands all over my chest and stomach.
"…I don't know what you're thinking, but I don't care what you and that guy do."
Hagawa Ryoko's voice was ice-cold.
Nakagami Risa snickered.
"Playing the ice queen? You thought I didn't know you were peeping from the warehouse earlier? I know you got yourself off, too. After you left, I checked the wet spot on the wall. Don't even try to deny it."
"……."
Hagawa Ryoko stumbled back, flustered. Watching her face go scarlet with shame was entertaining, but… we didn't have much time. Wanting a threesome, I gave Hagawa Ryoko the excuse she needed.
"Hagawa. You're my sex partner. You know that, right? The fifteen days aren't up yet."
"…Did you tell senpai about us?"
"I didn't say a word. You got caught at the warehouse all on your own. Standing there staring that blatantly and not getting caught would've been the weird part. Senpai doesn't know the details of what went on between you and me."
"……."
I crooked a finger at her as she clamped her mouth shut.
"Come here, sex partner. There's something I've been wanting to try."
"…If I refuse… you'll tell Kyoshiro, won't you. When you die, you're definitely going to hell."
"Heh. I don't think hell could handle me."
Hagawa Ryoko's face twisted as she stepped forward. I undid her sash. The breasts she'd kept tightly bound inside her kimono swayed free. Opening the kimono revealed more than just her chest — her panties, too.
Unlike Nakagami Risa, she was still wearing them. I slid her panties down and put my mouth to her neck, sucking hard enough to leave a deep kiss mark.
The three of us tangled together like that, working each other up.
"There's something I want to try. Risa-senpai, suck my cock from the front. Hagawa, lick my asshole from behind."
"Got it."
"W-wait. Why do I have to lick your asshole?!"
"That's an order. Lick it. You're not in a position to refuse."
"Kh…."
Hagawa Ryoko's face crumpled in disgust, but her actions were surprisingly decisive. She squatted behind me, buried her face between my cheeks, stuck out her tongue, and started lapping at my asshole.
Then Nakagami Risa took my cock into her mouth.
Two beauties sucking me front and back.
The long-missed stimulation sent a shiver racing up my spine. I tipped my head back toward the pitch-black sky and let my mouth hang open.
"Ah— I'm gonna cum…."
I didn't hold back. I came straight into Nakagami Risa's mouth. She closed her eyes and swallowed every drop. Even after I finished, Hagawa Ryoko didn't stop licking my asshole.
"Good. Next…."
I laid Hagawa Ryoko and Nakagami Risa on the table, arms around each other. Looking at their pussies stacked from behind made me grin. Hagawa Ryoko's bushy mound and Nakagami Risa's smooth one made a perfect contrast.
"Hagawa. You first."
I drove my cock into Hagawa Ryoko's thoroughly soaked pussy.
Thrust.
"Hnnngh…."
One stroke, then I pulled out and slammed into Nakagami Risa.
"Haaang!"
I alternated between the two of them. Aiming was a little tricky, but the satisfaction more than made up for it.
Squelch, squelch. Slap, slap.
I worked my hips hard and fast. Time was short. Wada Kyoshiro would be back any minute. I needed to finish before then.
"Hnn, hah…."
"Haaauuung!"
I came.
My cock pulsed as it pumped out cum. I didn't stop moving my hips. I kept thrusting hard, trying to distribute the load as evenly as possible between both of them.
"Hah! Hah!"
With ordinary stamina, I felt like I was about to pass out. I gritted my teeth and kept going to the end.
When the ache in my lower back finally made me stop, cum was dripping in thick ropes from their spread-open pussies. The way they twitched alone was obscenely lewd. I'd pounded them so hard their folds were flushed and swollen red.
One more time…
I grabbed my still-hard cock and was about to push back in when I spotted a light approaching from far off.
"Wada! Wada's coming! Senpai! Hagawa! Get dressed, now!"
We scrambled for our scattered clothes. At least it was dark. At this distance, there was no way he'd figure out what we'd been doing.
I threw my clothes back on in seconds, but the two of them in kimonos weren't so lucky. Straightening those took time.
"Hagawa, this way."
Nakagami Risa grabbed Hagawa Ryoko's hand and pulled her toward the mountain. I nodded. All I had to do was keep Wada Kyoshiro occupied.
I scanned the area. I wiped up the cum and juices with a handkerchief as best I could. A pair of panties lay on the ground — Hagawa Ryoko's. I scooped them up and chucked them into the woods, then sat down in a chair.
Wada Kyoshiro walked up and set four cans of beer on the table, along with a few bags of snacks for side dishes.
"Huh. Where are Ryoko and Nakagami-senpai?"
"They had some business and stepped into the woods for a bit. They'll be right back."
"Business?"
"What kind of business would you have in the woods? Only one thing, right?"
"…Ah."
Wada Kyoshiro flushed with embarrassment and sat down. Rustling sounds came from the mountain side. He cleared his throat and made a pointed effort not to look that way.
"Seong-san. I've been wondering… how did you end up going out with Nakagami-senpai?"
"Eh. We just clicked? I said it half as a joke and she went for it. So, yeah… we decided to date."
"…That easily?"
"Dating and marriage are different. You can start easy and end easy."
"…Yeah. I hear that's how it is these days."
Wada Kyoshiro sank into thought.
A little later, Nakagami Risa and Hagawa Ryoko emerged from the woods and sat down as if nothing had happened.
"Kyoshiro. You're here."
"Just got back. But Ryoko, your neck…."
"My neck?"
Hagawa Ryoko touched her throat and flinched — she'd just realized the kiss mark I'd left.
"Bug bite, maybe?"
"Y-yeah, that must be it. Kyoshiro. It's summer. There are tons of mosquitoes in the mountains."
We drank beer, made small talk, and eventually headed back to the lodging.
Back at the lodging, we reunited with Team 1. They'd returned ahead of us.
I asked Mori Masahiro,
"Mori-senpai, how was the shrine?"
"Ordinary. No different from any shrine you'd see anywhere else."
Mori Masahiro showed us the photos on his digital camera. The shrine in the pictures really was completely ordinary.
"Not a single person in any of them?"
"They all refused to be photographed."
"Shame. I wanted to see the shrine maiden."
"You'll get your chance soon enough. She's coming to our lodging. Which is why… I'm planning to take her picture in secret."
"Do you really need to go that far? It could cause problems."
"As long as it doesn't leave this place, it should be fine."
I shrugged. I had no intention of stopping him.
A little while later, a large group of people came walking toward the lodging.
The festival's final ceremony.
The shrine maiden herself would descend from the shrine and, standing in for the mountain god, bestow blessings on the villagers.
I narrowed my eyes and watched the procession approach. There were about ten of them — men in traditional Japanese dress flanking a shrine maiden who knelt atop a palanquin.
A red skirt and white top. Full traditional shrine maiden garb. She looked to be in her early twenties, with extremely long black hair. Her expressionless face called a doll to mind. Looking closer, her bangs were cut straight across and the side locks covered her ears — a hime cut.
Mori Masahiro beside me went rigid.
"Kaminoyama Kagura. I spoke with her briefly earlier and felt a chill. Like she wasn't human — something else entirely."
"Come on, senpai. A beauty like that isn't human? What, is she a ghost?"
"She might be."
"You're joking, right?"
"……."
Mori Masahiro was dead serious. Not a joke, then.
"The Kaminoyama family are the local power brokers. The biggest house in the village belongs to them."
"You already looked into that?"
"I asked and they told me. Nothing they felt the need to hide."
They stopped at the lodging entrance. The palanquin was lowered to the ground, and the shrine maiden rose slowly to her feet. Such a simple motion, yet she carried herself with real dignity.
A man in white robes approached us first.
"Everyone, gather in front and kneel."
I frowned at his words.
"Who the hell are you to tell us to kneel?"
"…The shrine maiden is bestowing blessings upon you in the mountain god's stead. Receive them with a reverent heart."
"I'm an atheist."
"…You refuse the blessing? Then step aside."
I moved off to the side. I had zero interest in any blessing. Nakagami Risa and Hagawa Ryoko stepped back with me. Wada Kyoshiro hesitated, then knelt on the ground with the others. Apparently he was a believer after all.
The blessing itself was nothing special.
"In the mountain god's place, I bestow blessings upon you."
The shrine maiden approached and sprinkled white powder on the crowns of their heads, then stood before them murmuring some kind of benediction.
"Is that flour?"
"…Be silent. A sacred rite is in progress."
I stomped hard on the annoying bastard's foot. His eyes bulged.
Thrust.
I drove the small knife I'd been hiding into his side. Before he could react, I brought another small blade to his throat with my other hand. Everyone was watching the shrine maiden — no one was looking our way.
"If you don't want to die, drop your eyes and answer my questions."
His lips trembled, then parted.
"…Animal bone powder."
"People are animals too."
"What a vivid imagination. That powder is made from pig bones, nothing more. But do you really think you'll walk away from this unscathed— mph?!"
I clamped my palm over his mouth and jammed the small knife into his throat. I quietly dragged the corpse behind the lodging. Nakagami Risa caught on mid-way and blocked the line of sight for me, making it easy.
I dumped the body roughly in the woods, brushed the blood off my sleeve as best I could, and returned to my spot. The blessing had just finished.
The shrine maiden, walking slowly back toward the palanquin outside the lodging, paused in front of me. She looked at me with those hollow-looking eyes.
"The mountain god is watching you."
That was a warning.
I looked her over from head to toe. She'd clearly been well fed growing up — full breasts, full hips. Exactly my type.
A smirk tugged at my mouth.
"Is that so? I haven't seen him."
"……."
The shrine maiden passed me by and climbed onto the palanquin. Before leaving, she scanned the area. She'd noticed one of her people was missing.
I waved at her. The bloodstained sleeve fluttered.
"……."
The shrine maiden looked at me in silence, then turned her gaze away.
I'd expected them to raise a fuss, but they returned quietly to the shrine.
That night.
I called Hagawa Ryoko to Nakagami Risa's room and kept going until we had no choice but to stop at dawn. We had no choice. The lodging had caught fire and was burning hard.
We looked out the window and froze.
More than thirty villagers had swarmed in and surrounded the building.
"Chosenjin, come out!!"
The villagers roared it as one. The hatred and rage aimed at me was palpable.
"These dogshit bastards…."
