Chapter 311 - Cap 289: Gender Equality Advocate

"Good morning, daughter" - said Miya with a nice smile as she noticed how her daughter was watching her in silence after waking up - "Now, if it's not too much trouble, I'd like you to give me a hand with this awkward situation..."

". . ." - Shizuka gave the woman a neutral look as she looked around and noticed that her now partner was nowhere to be found - "Where is Kurama-dono?"

"Oh, he said he would go and prepare lunch" - Miya replied with a smile - "Now, I ask you to please help me, daughter"

"No, I think I'm going to leave you like this for a while" - answered Shizuka as she watched her mother start to cry.

The reason for all this?

Miya was hanging from the ceiling while tied with a turtle bondage knot.

"Please, daughter! I don't think I can resist for much longer ~!" - Miya exclaimed as she let out a low m.o.a.n because the firm ropes were rubbing against each of her erogenous spots. She had to admit that Kurama had a talent for this kind of stuff.

". . ." - Shizuka gave her mother a quick glance, only to nod her head as she prepared to leave. She wouldn't even ask why her mother was in that situation because she knew she would find out later.

* * * * *

"The reason my mother is hanging from the ceiling?" - asked Shizuka as she watched Kurama put the dishes on the table.

"Do you really want to know? - asked Kurama as he raised an eyebrow.

"No... but I feel I have to know," Shizuka replied as she shook her head.

Kurama was silent for a few seconds before nodding - "Okay, I'll tell you what happened. It was when we finished having s.e.x that I discovered that someone was spying on us, so I went to face the person, you should have seen my expression when I discovered that it was your mother...".

Shizuka frowned with a mixture of irritation and embarrassment when she heard this, only to let out a sigh - "Anything else I need to know?"

Kurama thought for a few seconds before shaking his head. There were things that it was better for Miya to tell her.

* * * [Flashback] * * *

" I do not think it is in decent decorum for you to do that kind of thing, one, because Shizuka is your daughter, and two, because it is not the behavior a village leader should have," Kurama said with a scowl, "Now let's put that aside and concentrate on what is important... I feel that you want to tell me something and this is the best time to do so"

Miya stood up carefully while she was fixing her clothes to look more presentable before looking seriously at the redhead - "I would like you to help me with something".

". . ." - Kurama remained silent as I instructed her to continue.

"As you must know, during the last few months I was poisoned, and before you ask, yes, I took care of the person responsible" - answered Miya seriously - "I'm not going to go into details because I feel it doesn't come up, so let's leave it at that. Regarding my request, I want Villa Nadeshiko and Uzushiogakure no Sato to have a much closer relationship"

"Please continue" - said Kurama calmly as he continued to listen to the woman's words.

"As you know, Nadeshiko Village has been experiencing a serious decline, this is because we are too attached to our traditions, making it impossible for us to move forward like the other villages" - responded Miya as her expression changed to one full of seriousness - "That is why I came to a conclusion, there are two ways to be able to solve our situation"

Kurama paid attention to this because he would not lie, he was curious about what the woman would say.

"The first and most obvious is that we have to change our rules, but this will take time, which we honestly don't have because there are many villages trying to 'eat' us" - answered Miya seriously - "And the other option which is much simpler, but at the same time a little more complicated for our inhabitants, and that is to change our location"

"?" - Kurama tilted his head in confusion.

"That's why I want to talk to you" - said Miya seriously - "I want you to move Villa Nadeshiko to Uzu"

Kurama narrowed his eyes when he heard this as he continued to wait - "I understand, although it is not as if I could send you all to Uzu just like that"

"I know, that's why I want to offer myself as a means of payment" - answered Miya seriously.

". . ." - Kurama frowned when he heard this. He knew Miya was acting strange, but he never thought it was because of this.

"I would offer my daughter as well, but that wouldn't be fair to her, especially when she finally has someone special," Miya replied as she shook her head, " Although it's not like that's the only reason I want to make this deal"

"?" - Kurama tilted his head in confusion, only to frown.

"You see, this is a secret that has been kept for a long time" - said Miya while looking at the redhead.

"Then it is not necessary for me to know," replied Kurama as he frowned.

"I am sorry to tell you that you have to know because this is related to our family" - said Miya while shaking her head - "Kurama-dono, let me tell you some things about Shizuka and my problems with Jiraiya".

"Please tell me she is not the daughter of Ero Sennin" - said Kurama as he gave her a blank look.

"Ewgh..." - Miya just gave him an expression full of disgust - "No, Jiraiya is not Shizuka's father, in fact her father is closer than you think"

". . ." - Kurama was silent as he frowned because he had heard from Shizuka that she had lost her father before she was born.

"The truth is that her father is the husband of one of the council members, although this happened because I could not complete the tradition and marry Jiraiya" - replied Miya while she shook her head - "After he escaped, the council practically forced me to have a child in order to continue the line of my family, but I sincerely did not want to have relations with anyone, so I decided to use a secret technique of this place".

". . ." - Kurama frowned when he heard this because it sounded as if instead of a daughter, Shizuka sounded more like a clone of Miya.

"Oh, relax, she's not a clone or anything like that, Shizuka-chan is actually my daughter even though she wasn't born through s.e.x" - replied Miya while shaking her head - "But well, to sum up all that, I haven't had a partner, I haven't married or anything like that, so I'm still eligible to 'sacrifice' for the good of the village"

". . ." - Kurama narrowed his eyes for a few seconds before thinking about the pros and cons of accepting the woman's request - "I feel there is something more"

"Well, I'm a woman with needs and let's say that after seeing everything you did to Shizuka, made the decision much easier" - replied Miya while l.i.c.k.i.n.g her lips - "Not to mention that you are handsome, a plus on my list"

Kurama rolled his eyes at the woman before shaking his head - "We can talk about that later"

"I'm serious..." - said Miya seriously while her eyes glowed slightly. She quickly jumped over Kurama only to notice how the redhead's hands glowed slightly - "Huh? Hyah ~!"

Miya could only let out a small m.o.a.n when she felt something surrounding her body - "Ah ~!"

". . ." - Kurama gave the woman a blank look before shaking his head.

"I didn't know you were so daring, Kurama-kun!" - said Miya with a slight blush. She had been caught by a rope in such an e.r.o.t.i.c way that she was starting to breathe hard.

Kurama's eyebrow trembled slightly before pulling out a second rope.

"Wh-What are you going to do with that? - Miya asked with embarrassment as she felt her legs lose strength.

"Since I can see that you are enjoying it, I guess I'm going to put you through much more... thrilling moments..." - said Kurama as his eyes shone coldly.

"!" - Miya opened her eyes in surprise as Kurama created a barrier of silence so that no one could hear her m.o.a.ning.

* * * [End Flashback] * * *

"And that's what happened" - replied Kurama, although obviously he left the s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e issues because that was something that had to be discussed between mother and daughter.

"Indeed..." - replied Miya with a red face. She was now hanging from the ceiling in the dining room.

"How did you get here?" - asked Shizuka as she frowned.

"A clone of Kurama-kun brought me, and I am grateful because I am starving after all I went through" - answered Miya with a pitiful smile - "You should be a gentleman"

"I am an advocate for gender equality..." - said Kurama seriously - "I hate that you take advantage of your female privileges and then complain when we don't behave like gentlemen when it suits you..."

". . ." - the two women were silent as they gave him a blank stare.
