It grew bigger, longer...
As the 'Vessel', Uchiha Yuki cried out.
But she was truly far too tight.
During this encounter, Senju Wakama once again felt like his soul was about to leave his body.
Within the confined space, fully equipped and lacking no resources, the two could enjoy themselves to the fullest.
But the trouble had only just begun.
After the first round of their game ended, Senju Wakama could directly soak in the hot spring in the inner room.
But upon entering the indoor spring pool, the pair's 'team game' inexplicably started again.
The game in the hot spring pool finished, they passed the changing room, and as a result... a new round of the game began...
Returning to the hot spring pool, the next new round started...
Passing by the wardrobe, yet another round began...
Back to the old spot, the game started again...
And... again... damn it, one more time...
Has Yuki awakened some ancestral skill?
Using so many strange positions, they had dirtied every corner of Senju Wakama's exclusive residence.
Senju Wakama didn't know how much time had passed; he suddenly felt like today was lasting far too long.
"Wakama... amazing, you're getting energetic again."
Uchiha Yuki's voice came from below him.
Again?!!!
No...
Senju Wakama trembled all over, "W-Wait... hold on, Yuki, I'm tired..." Spare me!
"But it's not time for us to part today yet! We can still play ten more times~"
"Urgh... Ah!"
During the frustrating seasons of spring and autumn, one must be especially careful of a young girl's curiosity...
The tables were turned; Senju Wakama was once again overpowered by Uchiha Yuki, defeated again, and just as quickly!
As the autumn sun began to set once more.
Today's date time was over.
Uchiha Yuki, face flushed and radiant, was escorted by Senju Wakama into the Naka River forest.
Wakama's parting words to her were the same as the ones for Hyuga Miyu, "Don't look back when you leave. I don't want you standing here alone, watching my departing figure. I'll leave on my own after you've gone. Don't worry about me."
Uchiha Yuki, having changed back into men's attire, left briskly. She was extremely happy today.
And right after that...
"Yo~ Wakama, still looking like your soul's left your body? Did your little girlfriend drain you dry again, you loser brother?"
His sister's cold sarcasm came from the shadows.
Senju Wakama looked weakly towards the darkness, indeed looking like his soul had departed, "Tsukuyo, save me."
"Here... for you." Tsukuyo's small, pale hand held up a small porcelain bottle, bringing it right under Senju Wakama's nose.
"What is this stuff?"
Wakama was grabbed by Tsukuyo's other hand, and the feeling of his legs giving way instantly vanished.
Senju Wakama's eyes suddenly brightened, feeling the vitality drained by Uchiha Yuki surge back into him.
Good grief, Tsukuyo is practically an artifact for the bedroom! Does this mean he has to bring Tsukuyo along next time he dates Uchiha Yuki?
When he lacked strength, find Tsukuyo.
When dizzy and seeing stars, find Tsukuyo.
If he tucked Tsukuyo into his waistband, he'd be invincible.
"The name of this medicine is 'Vigor Pill'," Tsukuyo said with a grin, raising her hand, holding up two fingers, and speaking mysteriously, "It can extend your time by at least this much, with no side effects."
Senju Wakama stared at her delicate fingers, his eyes nearly popping out, "Extend the sprint time by four hours?"
Tsukuyo's expression darkened, and she retorted irritably, "Extend it by two minutes! Sprint for four hours? Why don't you just say sprint for two days? Are you trying to plow your field until it breaks, you bull?"
Senju Wakama sighed, "Oh, well, that's fine too."
"Take it easy. Too long, and you'll chafe. You still need breaks in between," Tsukuyo added worriedly. "Good thing you agreed to meet her once every seven days."
"Okay, I understand." Senju Wakama replied seriously, carefully stowing away this bottle of 'ammunition'.
"Um... do you want to... take care of Hyuga Miyu too? I can help you," Tsukuyo whispered.
Senju Wakama politely declined, "No thanks. Miyu has some issues. I'm having quite a good time with Yuki right now..."
Tsukuyo narrowed her eyes slightly, "Having a good time? Keep playing with her for another year or two, and you'll end up mounted on a wall."
Wakama laughed, "But I still have you, don't I?"
"Am I just a tool for you to pick up girls?" Tsukuyo huffed coldly.
"Aiya, my dear sister is the best, isn't she? You definitely wouldn't just watch your older brother die young," Senju Wakama pleaded, pressing his hands together.
Tsukuyo pouted, "Sooner or later, you'll die besieged by women... Don't— just stick with one girl, you'll get pinned down. Find a few more..."
"Ah... Yuki would be heartbroken."
Senju Wakama and Tsukuyo huddled furtively at the edge of the clan grounds, discussing unspeakable private matters.
Not far from them, Senju Wakama wordlessly facepalmed. He really couldn't participate in this kind of conversation. What kind of bizarre creatures were his younger brother and sister...?
Hyuga Bai could hear the beating of his own heart.
His mind continuously replayed everything since meeting Tsukuyo.
The first time they met, he was near death, and many things hadn't been clear.
But Hyuga Bai had subconsciously hidden the disappearance of his Caged Bird Seal. He hadn't reported the abnormality in his body, choosing instead to conceal it.
He chose to quietly prepare pigments and repaint the [Caged Bird] seal onto himself.
But a fake was still a fake.
Without the seal's restraint, not only did the blind spot in his Byakugan caused by the seal vanish, but something within his heart had been unshackled.
Tsukuyo had healed his dying body, and in doing so, had also removed his Caged Bird.
Tsukuyo had given Hyuga Bai an opportunity no other Hyuga clan member had.
"...She didn't refuse me..." Hyuga Bai murmured to himself as he walked towards the Hyuga clan compound.
He knew it was merely the Senju Princess's temptation.
He knew the path she guided him towards was full of traps.
But... a voice in the depths of his heart kept enticing Hyuga Bai: What if you succeed...?
Giving up on the wild dream in his heart might mean never realizing it.
But if he followed his heart's desire, what if he succeeded?
Anyway, the timid, submissive self from before had achieved nothing;
Anyway, the passive self from before possessed nothing.
If a person has no dreams, what is there to live for?
The first time, Hyuga Bai chose to hide the secret of his vanished Caged Bird Seal.
The second time, Hyuga Bai still chose to hide Tsukuyo's peculiar 'flaw', concealing her heaven-defying 'Recovery Arts'.
Within the Hyuga clan, good things would never fall into Hyuga Bai's lap.
Who was he?
With above-average looks, mediocre talent, and a lowly status, the moment his clan members learned his seal was gone, he would be burdened with that shackle once more.
Hyuga Bai felt that under the main family's daughter's cold gaze, he had completely abandoned the beliefs he once held.
He chose selfishness.
From now on, he, Hyuga Bai, would live for himself.
