Volume 9 - Dojigiri: Chapter 29 – Momiji and Lily
“Firstly, let me make this clear: I will not agree to abolish my own power, be trapped, consume some obscene drug, or any other ploy that would undoubtedly lead me into Shuten’s clutches. Your promises, both yours and Shuten’s, hold no credibility,” Lily asserted firmly.
“Ehehehe, Miss Kagami, you have indeed matured,” Momiji remarked with a smirk.
“Then tell me now, what are your conditions?” Lily demanded.
Momiji’s smile grew sly, her eyes tracing Lily’s figure. “Well, I won’t beat around the bush. The first condition is that Miss Kagami must agree not to seek retaliation afterwards and ensure my life and safety. Your strength is something I cannot contend with, after all.”
“As long as you disclose Shuten’s whereabouts, I won’t kill or harm you. I can promise you that. But as for the ‘afterwards’... what do you mean?” Lily inquired cautiously.
“Ehehehe, Miss Kagami, you are quite perceptive. Yes, the ‘afterwards’ refers to my second condition,” Momiji explained.
“......” Lily had a sinking feeling. “And what is the second condition?”
“That, Miss Kagami, is that you must come to my abode and assist me in my practice,” Momiji revealed.
“Assist you in your practice? I don’t have much time. You aren’t planning to stall until Shuten returns, are you?” Lily questioned with suspicion.
“Oh, Miss Kagami, aren’t you seeking His Highness? Isn’t his return exactly what you desire?” Momiji retorted.
Lily’s face tensed. “What kind of practice assistance do you require? Why me?”
“With your strength, surely you’ve heard of the concept of paired training?” Momiji insinuated.
“Paired training? Who, who would be paired with you... Yes, I have heard of it,” Lily responded, her face flushing. Despite her internal conflict, her rationality urged her to at least listen to the details before refusing outright.
“Ahh, this... is not something that can be explained in an instant. Please follow me. Don’t worry, it will take at most one night. You can at least afford this small amount of time, can you not? Besides, if you were to search for His Highness on your own, where would you even begin?” Momiji explained, trying to persuade Lily.
“I warn you, don’t push beyond my limits. I won’t agree! I have no trust in you!” Lily asserted firmly.
“Relax, Miss Kagami. I understand that you have no trust in me whatsoever. However, I believe in you. I believe that if I fulfill my end of the bargain, you won’t go back on your word and kill me, right
1?” Momiji’s hand brushed against the hand gripping Yasutsuna, as if fondling some peculiar object.
“......” Lily remained silent, weighing her options. As expected, Momiji had no benevolent intentions, but Lily found herself with little choice.
“Fine, then lead me to your place,” Lily relented reluctantly.
“Ehehe, that’s more like it, my dear... Ah, no, I mean, lovely Miss Kagami. I find it hard to contain myself... Ahh, no, I am incredibly eager. I have an insatiable obsession with practice, ehehehe,” Momiji expressed with a mix of desire and anticipation.
“You placed the decoy on the throne, right? Since Shuten isn’t here, what’s the point?” Lily inquired.
“That is His Highness’s command. The place he went to is even more secretive. He doesn’t want others to know of his departure,” Momiji explained.
2 and then discuss it!”
“Wait, wait, wait! What are you planning?” Lily exclaimed, her voice filled with alarm.
“Relax, what I’m about to do won’t cross your boundaries or cause you harm. With your strength, you can intervene at any point. But I must warn you, if you stop this, our deal will be terminated. Even if you kill me, I won’t reveal where his highness has gone. So, think carefully,” Momiji whispered into Lily’s ear.
“I understand... as long as you don’t cross my boundaries, I won’t intervene,” Lily made her decision. She didn’t know what peculiar method Momiji had in mind. The fact that she was being taken advantage of was something she couldn’t avoid anymore. Perhaps there was no secret method at all, and it was merely an excuse to tease her.
Fortunately, Momiji was a mature woman...
They were all women
3. Reluctantly, Lily realized that without paying a price, she wouldn’t be able to locate Shuten.
Kill? If she killed Momiji, would she be able to save sister Uesugi? As long as her boundaries weren’t crossed, she would endure.
Momiji’s breaths grew shallower, as if she were anticipating what was about to transpire. “Then... let’s begin... hehehehe.”
Leaning against Lily, Momiji inhaled the scent of her neck. “Mmm... Miss Kagami’s fragrance is delightful. With your celestial maiden physique, it’s truly... suitable for my practice.”
Saying that, Momiji grasped both of Lily’s hands and twisted them behind her back, proceeding to tie her up.
The rope passed through Lily’s armpits and clothes, emitting a soft rubbing sound. Momiji’s eyes held no malicious intent; instead, they gleamed with the appreciation of an artist admiring their masterpiece.
With precision, Momiji wound the coarse rope several times around Lily’s chest, securing it tightly. Then, she lifted one of Lily’s delicate white legs and skillfully entwined the rope through the torn stockings, wrapping it around the supple limb, causing Lily to stand on one leg. The posture was undeniably humiliating.
Next, the rope was intricately looped between Lily’s legs before being thrown upwards, passing through the copper ring suspended at the top of the cave.
“Mmm, impressive, truly impressive. Miss Kagami, you are breathtakingly beautiful. The regal red kimono perfectly complements this posture and the bindings,” Momiji remarked, her breath infused with the delicate scent of orchids, gently caressing Lily’s face.
“Shut up... Just shut up,” Lily murmured, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She couldn’t bring herself to meet Momiji’s gaze as she resisted the overwhelming shame.
Completing the complex binding, Momiji gave a firm tug and hoisted Lily into the air.
“Nnnn...” Lily bit her lip, determined not to let any sounds escape. The position and her concerns caused a light sheen of sweat to form on her body. The captivating scent emanating from her skin possessed the power to seduce even the coldest and hardest of rocks
