Chapter 21: How Did You Figure Out This Method?
A day had passed, and the woman returned to Wolhyangsa once more. This time, she brought the air toy she had mentioned earlier for playing.
She and I had somehow taken on each other's roles without realizing it. I was teaching her the fun of playing with friends, and she was introducing me to the joys of reading. To fulfill this perfectly, I had purchased several books that she would likely enjoy.
"Sister, how have you been?"
"Yeah, I'm doing great. How about you, Wolhyang?"
"Me too, I'm fine. I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about playing with you."
"You should sleep well. That way, you can play even more fun."
"I'm fine because I have good stamina!"
Hearing that she had good stamina, a small smile formed on my face. I wondered if that stamina would show when she spread her legs on the futon for me.
As a miko who had completed countless trainings, I had developed stamina that didn't fall behind that of any adult man. Perhaps, unlike the women from the west, it was possible for me to have sex all night.
"Have you learned how to play with the air toy?"
"No, I haven't."
"You haven't even tried it at all. I'll teach you!"
The woman sat beside me, shoulder to shoulder, and carefully taught me how to play with the air toy. The most important things in this game were agility and the sense in the right hand.
"It's not that hard, is it?"
"Yeah, after a few practices, I'll get the hang of it."
"Great! Then, let's practice a bit."
The woman went first, demonstrating the real thing. She picked up six air stones one by one, then tossed the six on her back of hand and caught them all neatly in one go. Her skill was so impressive that I naturally clapped.
"Amazing, Wolhyang. You're really good at it."
"I used to play with my friends a lot. Now it's your turn, sister."
The woman handed me the six air stones. The smoothly polished stones clacked pleasantly as they rubbed together.
"Let's start from level one. Slowly. Throw one up and pick up the ones on the floor one by one."
Recalling her advice, I lightly scattered the air stones on the futon. I chose the one that seemed easiest to throw and tossed it up.
I timed the flight time, grabbed one from the floor in mid-air, and caught the falling stone. The two stones clacked lightly in my palm.
"Well done, sister! Let's continue."
As a miko, my reflexes and body awareness, honed through harsh training, were more than enough to track these small stones. The four remaining on the floor were scooped up in an instant.
Without holding back, I continued to level two, where I picked up two at a time, level three with three and two alternately, and level four where I tossed one while holding all and placed the rest on the floor and picked them up again.
"Sister, is this really your first time? Your hands are so fast I can barely see them!"
"It's probably because I'm used to relying on my senses rather than following with my eyes."
Looking at the woman's round eyes full of surprise, I put on a deliberately relaxed smile. But the real challenge was the final one. After placing all the stones on the back of my hand, I had to toss them into the air and catch them perfectly—the so-called 'twist' that the woman had demonstrated most flawlessly.
I lifted the six air stones in my palm slightly and caught them on the back of my hand. The six stones settled precariously on my back of hand. Here, I had to toss them all up at once and grab them all, so I steadied my breath and flicked my hand up.
The stones shot up into the air simultaneously. Quickly flipping my hand over to grab the stones in the air, but the problem was controlling the force. My palm sliced through the air, and only four stones made it into my hand completely.
"Ah, that's a waste!"
"Hmm, I should have adjusted the force a bit more."
"Sister, even though this is your first time, you're already this good! If you practice more, you'll be as good as me!"
"Thanks to having such a great teacher."
"Wow! Am I the teacher? Thinking of myself as the air toy teacher makes me laugh."
At this, the woman laughed "kya kya" and patted my shoulder. This unrestrained touch told me that she thought of me as a friend. Imagining the expression of this woman slowly corrupting towards such a friend made my cock twitch and slowly get wet.

The air toy was so interesting that we spent about two hours just playing with it. During this time, my skill had grown considerably, reaching a level similar to the woman's.
"Wow! Now we're at the same level. Sister, you're really good!"
"It's thanks to Wolhyang teaching me well. It was surprisingly fun too."
"Fun, huh? I'm glad."
"I bought a few books that Wolhyang would like. They're in my room, so feel free to take them and read."
"Really?! I have to go read them right away."
"I'll make ice for you."
While the woman went to find the books, I went into the kitchen to grind ice. It was time to take out the strawberry syrup, rice cakes, and bean powder from the shelf to put in the ice. But the rice cakes and bean powder were almost at the bottom of the bag, showing the bottom of the bag.
"I didn't notice this."
Every time Wolhyang spent time at Wolhyangsa, the ice would decrease by one or two bowls, or even three if she ate a lot.
"Wolhyang."
"Yeah, sister."
"The rice cakes and bean powder for the ice are running low, so I'll go buy some. If you're hungry, take other snacks and eat."
"Got it. I'll wait while reading the book."
"Okay."
Leaving Wolhyang alone at Wolhyangsa, I descended the mountain. It was the first time I had come down since becoming friends with the woman. Thanks to the new experiences and emotions, even things I hadn't paid attention to before now caught my eye.
"Interesting-looking toy."
"Welcome, miko-nim. Are you interested in the daldaegong?"
"Daldaegong?"
"Yes, that's the name of this toy."
"I would like you to tell me how to play with this toy."
Perhaps because I hadn't paid attention to such things before, the shopkeeper's expression was quite surprised, but soon he smiled and picked up the daldaegong called daldaegong.
Holding the red-painted wooden ball in my left hand, I let it hang down. The string connecting the cross-shaped wooden handle and the ball tightened.
"Look. Throw the ball hanging from the string up."
When he flicked his wrist lightly upward, the red ball rose into the air in a parabolic arc.
"Place it precisely on the wide cup next to it."
With a pleasant clack, the ball landed softly on the concave large cup carved on the side of the handle without any error. The shopkeeper didn't stop and immediately twisted his wrist to lift the ball back into the air.
This time, the ball moved quickly to the slightly smaller groove on the opposite side, and finally to the smallest groove at the bottom of the handle. The regular sound of wood hitting wood drew the attention of passersby.
"Amazing. I'll take two, please."
"I'll give you one for free, miko-nim. I'm grateful just that you're interested in this toy."
Thanks to the shopkeeper's generosity, I could buy two daldaegongs for the price of one. One was for me, and one was for the woman. It would be better if I learned it first rather than waiting for her to teach me.
"Wolhyang must have played with this too."
It seemed to require more hand skills than the air toy. It looked a bit difficult, but I believed the woman would teach it well.
After looking at the toy a bit more, I continued my steps to buy the rice cakes and bean powder. I had planned to buy only one bag and one pack here, but I ended up getting two bags and two packs.
I always say it's not necessary to bring so much, but these people strangely try to give me favors. The only thing I did for them was bowing to the deity.
I summoned the shikigami to carry the load and turned my steps back to Wolhyangsa. At that moment, I discovered a group of young men who had just become adults huddled in a narrow alley.
They were concentrating very hard on something. Naturally, questions arose, so I entered the alley. Despite being quite close, they didn't notice me at all.
"May I ask what you are so focused on?"
"Wh-what, miko-nim...?!"
Hearing my voice, they all jumped in fright. Soon after, they sprang up and ran out of the alley at a fast pace. As the time passed, my suspicion deepened when I found a book that had fallen on the ground. It seemed one of them had dropped it.
I picked up the book and opened it. Immediately, a small laugh escaped.
"So this is what you were looking at."
The boys huddled together had been reading a hentai book filled only with naked women. If I had discovered this, it would have been my duty as a miko to dispose of it on the spot. But I put it in my sleeve.
The woman had started to feel genuine interest in reading. If she accidentally discovered and opened this hentai book tucked between the bookcases, it would raise suspicions.
From then on, it would be easy to guide her down the path of corruption, so there was no reason not to keep it.
When I returned to Wolhyangsa, there was no noticeable presence. I peeked into her room, but all I found was a book covered on the table.
"Where did she go?"
While I was looking for the woman, thinking she might be sightseeing around Wolhyangsa, I noticed from afar that my door was wide open. Seeing this, I recalled the woman's appearance from two days ago.
Hearing my footsteps on the porch, she had come out hurriedly. Clearly, she was trying to hide something she had done secretly from me. This time, I approached my room without making a sound.
Peeking through the slightly open door, I witnessed quite an interesting sight.
"Haa...♡ Haaaa...♡ Is this really possible? With... women...?"
The woman was sitting on the tatami reading a book. The woman who always smiled happily while reading now panted with rough breaths, barely able to let out lewd whispers.
There were no lewd books here, so I had been wondering what it was. When I saw the book in her hand, I realized it was a journal detailing in naked and blunt expressions the stories of the women I had corrupted and fucked up to now.
The questions I had had so far were resolved as if gears meshing, and the method to guide the woman down the path of corruption became clear.
"So that's why she had that appearance two days ago."
The woman, who had been looking for another book, discovered the journal she had tucked in the corner and read it, and my footsteps made her jump in surprise. She quickly retreated a bit and stamped her feet in place. Then, urgent movement sounds were clearly heard.
"Wolhyang, are you here?"
"Eh, sister! You're back...?"
The woman's face was quite flushed, but I couldn't focus on that. The erect nipples protruding over her yukata came into my view.
Smiling happily in a different meaning, I said I would make the ice right away. The woman reacted as usual as much as possible and hurriedly went to her room.
"Yeah, no need to force her into lewd acts to corrupt her."
