Chapter 67 – I, and Hoshino Ai Part 05
Edited by The Darkest Knight#4796
The cast was covered with plastic to ensure the hot water didn't touch my injured hand. Ai also slowly poured water over my head, soaking my hair and body. Honestly, I had never fractured my legs or arms this badly in my previous life and needed to be helped like this. Well, although this could be because Ai was more worried about me trying to meet a spirit.
After all, the original plan was just to come here and try to communicate with the spirit. However, it seems that spirits will not appear without someone bathing. So I had no choice but to take a bath like this, as I didn't know if the child's spirit would come if we just pretended.
Geez, I can't believe it would be such a drag to meet a spirit. However, I don't have the confidence to face other spirits because I don't know how dangerous the other spirits are. Whereas this one, at least, I know how dangerous it is and how to deal with the spirit.
Ai continued to splash my body with water and then washed me with soap. She did it while humming happily. It felt like she was enjoying herself, and there was no fear. She even rubbed my back, which made me comfortable.
"Mom, you look like you're really enjoying this?" I throw the question while trying my best to observe and feel the spirit in this bathroom.
"Hm? Of course, I'm enjoying this. I mean, it had been a long time since I gave you a bath like this. You and Ruby are really maturing quickly, so you can already take your own baths faster than normal children. As a busy working mom, I'm so grateful you are quickly becoming independent. However, I can’t help but miss those times. Huhuhu— That's why I'm going to enjoy this because I don't think I'll get an opportunity like this again." She replied in a happy voice with a nostalgic tone on her voice.
"Is that so? Well, do whatever you like for the time being." I responded to Ai, and then as time passed and we both talked, I felt something was there. Although it was fragile and faint, as if the spirit was hesitant to reveal itself, I knew it was already in this bathroom.
'I wonder what I should do to make that spirit really appear before us.' I thought that after it looked like Ai finished, and put her hand on my shoulder and whispered.
"How about we both take a bath in the bathtub together?"
"Eh," I was surprised, and simultaneously Ai pulled me into the bathtub. Our bathtub is large enough that both of us can have a comfortable soak. Then because of Ai's pull, and somehow Ai quickly and accurately made me fall into her arms. Like in the hospital, once again, my face was in front of her chest. With a simple look up to the sky, I could see her smiling face with satisfaction.
"Hm, isn't this hot water very refreshing?" Ai said as she put her hands up before sighing with relief.
"Yeah," I answered briefly while taking advantage of Ai's free hand to lie down on the other side of the bathtub, but Ai immediately realized what I was doing and quickly pulled me back. This time instead of leaving my face on her chest, Ai turned me over and made me rest my head and body against her body. I can feel how soft her body was.
"Hm, where are you going? Don't go far and take a bath near Mom."
When I heard that, I don't know why— I didn't feel any energy to reject her and just let my body rest on her. Even though, to be honest, because my body is already in puberty and after what happened with Ruby yesterday, I became more conscious and aware of Ai than ever.
Not only how soft and comfortable Ai's body was, but I could also smell a sweet fragrance that was honestly quite arousing for this young body. Something that I might be experiencing for the first time in this world.
I didn't know why, maybe because I lost some focus or something for a bit. The spirit finally came out.
Unlike yesterday, the spirit did not present itself as scary as before, or you could say it was almost like a monster. This time the spirit was still like a black shadow, but it was more human-shaped, more precisely, a girl. I think this happened because of the previous incident when the spirit tried to possess my body, and I saw the memories of the spirit so that I understand the life of this spirit.
But at this point, I wondered what I wanted to do with this spirit. She wasn't oozing hatred like before. And like the other spirits, he also didn't swear much and get angry-calling his mother repeatedly, like a broken radio.
"Well, I wonder if there's anything I can do for you? Of course, except for something related to my mother."
In the end, the spirit didn't say anything and, just like any spirit does, just cursed and asked her mother.
"Hm?"
"So the spirit is here?"
I finally stopped asking after a few questions because I heard the exact words repeatedly and thought of something else before Ai asked me those questions.
"Ah, yes. Spirit was before me, but she didn't answer my question and said the same thing."
"Is that so?"
"Hm, I think I may try to touch it?"
"Uh, will it be okay?"
As I felt spiritually stronger than yesterday, I slowly tried to hold onto that spirit. However, as I suspected, I could not touch the spirit. My hand quickly went through the spirit's body and practically only felt brushing the dust.
"Not working, huh?"
"Hm… How about we try something?"
"Do you have any ideas, Mom?"
I replied to Ai with a question while turning to her. I could see her face as she smiled kindly before slowly holding my face, and like Ruby, she kissed my lips.
(E/D: *Spits 700 mg of caffeine* Step-sis bring me my Sebastian!)
The thing surprised me and I heard a whisper from Ai— "Maybe you can do more if you become stronger. If Ruby can then I can to~"
When my lips met with Ai's I tried hard to make sure not to notice, but unlike Ruby, Ai's figure was very dangerous. Her figure was slender, like an evergreen tree, but the parts that should be full are full to the point where it's hard to know where to look. Her large, plump breasts looked like delicious fruit, and from the slender waist to the perfectly curved back, it was voluptuous enough to be considered a crime.
Then as before, I could feel the warmth from within my body, which was even more potent than what I got from Ruby. I felt each of my limbs become hot, and the flame of life began to rise.
This pleasure is a sweet but dangerous sensation. At the same time, I think it might be time for me to realize one thing that I've always resisted and perhaps passed off in my mind as normal in this type of anime world. Well, I always took what happened as a normal thing in the anime world, stuff like sis-con or mother-con.
Even though in my heart, I probably already knew and understood that I might never consider them truly my family, especially Ai as my mother. Because deep down, I might still see her as a character or perhaps the opposite gender.
Once that was on my mind, it was the kiss with our lips meeting this time that I desperately defended myself from sinking further. That is why, concerning having a guilty conscience... of course, I do have one, but somehow, I believe I was able to overcome that problem and regain my composure.
However, at this time, I had already lost to my own lust. No, maybe the two of us because I didn't know who moved first. But our kiss already involved tongues, and it felt like it was getting deeper and deeper, and that powerful energy was filling my body even more.
Also, it took long before I felt we were doing something stupid in front of a spirit. Or that the spirit is a benevolent enemy waiting for the protagonist to power up, which is quite cliché in the anime world.
I could feel the power in my body was immense, and the spirit in front of me was just standing there, not moving and still talking over and over again. This time, I again tried to touch it, and although it was not much different from before, one thing was for sure, this time, I felt that I managed to hold something like an orb.
Then the next thing that happened was the same as before, and I could see various spirit memories before this time. I woke up in a white place. There, I heard the soft tones of a piano. When I looked there, I saw the spirit playing the piano as she did when she was alive. Well, basically, the spirit is the daughter of a rich family...
I knew without saying anything what the spirit wanted. Because as the spirit was about to take over my body, you could say that I took the essence of the spirit.
"I know, but the only thing I can do for you… is not that much."
After I said that, I realized I woke up in my room without any words or thoughts. My tears flowed uncontrollably. This was, perhaps, the spirit's last cry. You could say it was the first time I exorcized a spirit.
(E/D: Alright, this is crossing too many moral barriers, even more than the original story.)
