Nobunaga Oda's Isekai Cultivation Experience

In the days that followed his meeting with Kaia, Nobu made good on his promise by meeting with Hitomi and Suzune to discuss the viability of converting a part of his estate into a holding facility. This earned him a fair amount of teasing from the pinkette since he was basically asking to build a dungeon, but, when everything was said and done, they agreed to have the holding facility placed beneath the room adjacent to his own.Along with said dungeon, several other renovations were being made to Nobu's personal estate as he split his time between training, clicking, and interviewing potential personnel and staff members. This included Rynka, who, after hearing about the situation from Chikako, presented herself as one of the first people to be interviewed.Though there had been a brief misunderstanding where Rynka mistakenly believed she was being asked to become Nobu's personal 'service kunoichi', it was resolved relatively quickly when he said he had no interest in brats. This left Rynka feeling vexed, but, as she was more than a little afraid of him after seeing how he dealt with Shizune, she never vocalized her thoughts.Regarding Shizune, Nobu actually interviewed her as well. In reality, this was basically just a private admonishment where he laid down the ground rules he had discussed with Suzune while the latter silently observed. She would basically be serving under Kumiko with the penultimate responsibility of caring for and maintaining the estate.In simpler terms, Shizune had effectively become the Head Maid responsible for rearing trainees to be caretakers, attendants, servants, and informants. This was actually a rather coveted position, but, after discussing the matter at length with Kumiko and Yui, they managed to convince Nobu it was the most suitable position for someone with Shizune's status and abilities.Despite the gaff she had made, Shizune was inarguably one of the most talented kunoichi when it came to gathering and supplying information. She wasn't being groomed as the next Information Elder just because she was Suzune's daughter. The Matriarch and Elders would have never allowed such favoritism at it might contribute to misconceptions and resentment spreading among current and future kunoichi. In other words, the favoritism Shizune received had little to do with her status as Suzune's daughter. Instead, it was her talent and her potential as an Onmyoji that had afforded her the leeway to behave like a spoiled princess.Onmyoji were highly respected throughout Nian due to their ability to command Shikigami, and, most importantly, deal with curses. They were effectively exorcists that traveled around the country sealing Youkai, cleansing evil spirits, and erecting barriers. Many were even personally hosted by the nobility of the provinces they visited so Shizune essentially had a perfect cover for traveling around and gathering information.When it came down to it, Nobu didn't really care about Shizune's qualifications. He only tolerated her because Yui and Kumiko vouched for her. In his mind, it was far more important to be able to trust the people around him than to surround himself with capable individuals. After all, even in his previous world, those considered the most capable were, more often than not, the most ambitious and opportunistic.Fortunately, while he had effectively been forced to compromise on the matter regarding Shizune, Nobu had free rein concerning his other staff and personnel picks. This included employing Rukia, and, though she had yet to return, Takao. As for his other picks, he primarily relied on suggestions from Kumiko, Yui, and the other girls. The only real exception to this was the girl named Onihime, who, on the third day, arrived at Nobu's doorstep wearing an inordinately short kimono with pink accents........."Even if you ultimately change your mind, thank you for considering someone as lowly as myself for the position of your personal attendant..."Seeing the inordinately petite girl bowing low enough that her horns were poking against the floor of his room, Nobu had to restrain a sigh as he said, "Raise your head."Though her actions were a little slow, Onihime obeyed Nobu's command without any perceivable hesitation. This allowed him to stare into her dark-purple eyes, which, unlike a human, possessed thin black slits in place of circular pupils."Are you really 68-years-old...?"Adopting a smile with melancholic undertones that even Nobu could perceive, Onihime remained silent for a few moments before shaking her head and answering, "I will be sixty-eight near the end of Satsuki(May)..."Never one for subtlety, Nobu's expression morphed into a furrow as he asked, "Are you okay?" in an ostensibly concerned but largely uncomfortable tone.Confused by her future Lord's question, Onihime tentatively explained, "Oni do not suffer from the same illnesses as normal humans...""Uh...okay?"Realizing his intentions weren't getting across properly, Nobu fell silent for several seconds before asking, "What has the Matriarch told you? Also, do you even want to serve me? Like I've told all the others, I don't need slaves or servants who worship the ground I walk on. If you don't want to be here, I'm not going to force you."Returning a marginally less melancholic smile, Onihime explained, "Hitomi-sama said you were a kind and caring person with different values than traditional Nianese men. She said you were the type of person who evaluated people based on their actions rather than their race, gender, status, or physical appearance. She also told me I could trust you...and that I would be able to experience greater freedom in your service than anywhere else...""..."Resisting the urge to pinch the bridge of his nose, Nobu briefly stared off into space before shaking his head and saying, "That's just her personal views. I personally view myself as a bit of an asshole. If you choose to follow me, there is a good chance you'll get wrapped up in the politics and personal affairs of the Oda Clan. I'll do my best, but I can't promise to be able to protect you. I'm pretty new to all this Lordship stuff..."Leaving Nobu at a loss for words, Onihime used her sleeve to cover her mouth as she giggled in a manner reminiscent of a gentle bell chiming in the distance. When she was done, a far more radiant smile had appeared on her face as she mused, "Hitomi-sama was telling the truth. My Lord is unlike any other Noble. If it's for someone as honest and straightforward as you, I believe I could dedicate my everything without regret..."Punctuating her words, Onihime pulled at the green cord keeping her yellow obi fastened around her waist. This caused the hairs on the back of Nobu's neck to stand on end, but, before he could even think to admonish her, the words got stuck in his throat as he noticed the blood-red tattoo near the center of her chest. It looked like a scarlet eye surrounded by angular lines that radiated outward like the traces on a circuit board.Noticing the shock and confusion on her Lord's face, Onihime asked, "Is this the first time my Lord has seen a Slave Crest?"Frowning the moment he heard the words slave and crest, Nobu's tone became firm as he said, "I already told you. I don't need slaves. Fix your clothes."Adopting a slightly apologetic expression on her face, Onihime explained, "Though I want nothing more than to respect my Lord's decision, the people of Nian are significantly less...accepting. If it is discovered that I have not been bound by a contract, I fear my Lord's enemies will never accept my presence at your side. Oni, even halves such as myself, are considered to the common enemy of the Nianese people...we cannot be allowed to wander freely..."Maintaining his frown, Nobu softly muttered, "That's some racist ass shit..." before shaking his head and asked, "So? What do I need to do?"Exhaling a soft yet profoundly relieved sigh, the smile returned to Onihime's face as she explained, "There are two parts. The first part requires my Lord to drip his blood onto the eye at the center of the Slave Crest. The second part...it is unique to Oni..."Though it was faint, a blush spread across Onihime's face as she took a breath to calm herself. Then, with what could best be described as a resolute expression on her face, she explained, "The second part requires me to periodically ingest my Lord's blood. When an Oni accepts blood given of one's own accord, they become bound to the person until death. We will not die if we don't consume the blood of our Masters, but it helps suppress our more...animalistic desires."Blushing to the tips of her elf-like ears, Onihime averted her eyes out of shame and embarrassment. As for Nobu, he just stared at her with a mixture of incredulity and disbelief on his face. Part of him wanted to ask her to explain what she meant, but, fearing she might answer in accordance with his expectations, he ultimately remained mum. She was cute, sure, but the last thing Nobu needed was a 'legal loli' pouncing on him like a bitch in heat."How often do you need to consume blood...?"Keeping her eyes averted, Onihime answered, "Once a week is generally more than enough at my current level of cultivation. As I grow in strength, the frequency will depend on the difference in our respective bases..."After nodding his head in understanding, Nobu only hesitated for a moment before pulling out the dagger Yui had given him for protection. He wasn't particularly fond of the idea of cutting the tip of his finger like some edgy anime character, but, considering the circumstances, he didn't have much of a choice.While lamenting what would invariably follow, Nobu placed a shallow cut on the tips of his index and middle fingers. This caused the pupils of Onihime's eyes to contract, and, though it was only a subtle change, her deep purple eyes became noticeably redder as he traced the tips of his fingers over the eerie-looking seal on her chest.Though she had a slightly dazed look in her eyes, Onihime managed a somewhat scary smile as she whispered, "Master's blood is very potent..." in an audibly impassioned tone. Then, just as Nobu had anticipated, she guided his fingers to her lips, her darker-than-average tongue lapping at the excess blood before suckling the digits with a fair amount of vigor.........Despite his best efforts, Nobu was unable to prevent a tent from mounting in his trousers due to Onihime's actions. Fortunately, she was either oblivious to this or had enough sense not to draw attention to it as she dutifully fixed her kimono. What he didn't know was that the only reason she had kept silent was that it was impossible for Slaves to make selfish requests or demands without the express permission of their Master...With her kimono fixed, Onihime sat across from Nobu with a smile on her face as she asked, "Are my Lord's fingers okay?""..."Rather than immediately replying to Onihime's question, Nobu remained silent for several seconds, his eyes focused on the stone tablet in his hands. This caught Onihime's attention, but, rather than interrupt him, she sat with her hands neatly folded across her lap."Holy shit..."Ignoring the legal loli seated across from him, Nobu's excitement continued to increase with each passing second. As for the reason, well, it was because Onihime had been added to his friend's list without him needing to pay a premium. She wouldn't have cost much, but, if things worked the way Nobu expected, it meant he could 'befriend' people for free so long as they were his Slaves..."Holy fucking shit..."......(A/N: That isn't how you make friends, Nobu...)

Though his excitement had just about boiled over, Nobu quickly calmed down when he noticed an incongruence between the present and past times he had managed to add someone to his Friend's List.Onihime hadn't generated a spare tablet.Noticing the rather drastic change in her Master's behavior, Onihime's expression morphed into one of concern as she asked, "My Lord...?"Meeting the petite girl's purple gaze, Nobu forced a wry smile as he said, "Gimme a sec. I'm trying to figure something out..."Though she maintained a concerned expression, Onihime nodded her head in response to Nobu's words before fixing her posture and doing her best to appear calm.Adopting a slightly more genuine smile, Nobu nodded his head before shifting his attention to the tablet. The biggest question he had at the moment was whether or not Onihime appeared among his list of Units. It was 'just' his friend, he wouldn't know what to do, as, without a tablet of her own, he couldn't even message her through the Messenger App.------------------------------------Name: Aizu-Ashina Onihime/Yoshitsune OnihimeAge: 67Gender: Female, H:137.5cm, W: 34.8kg, B: 61.1cm, W: 46.9cm, H: 62.9cmBlood Type: ZX-Cultivation: *Sealed*Aura Units: 142/432,912Status: Suppressed Physiology(+), Sealed(+), Slave Crest(+), Poisoned(+), Cursed(+), Lesser Vampiric Urge(+), Aroused(+), Sated(+)-Suppressed Physiology: Due to ingesting Sanctified Silver and the blood of animals, her growth has been severely restricted.

The fact she had an aura capacity in the 400,000s had caught him by surprise, but, considering she must have been around 17 at the time she was taken prisoner, this wasn't too surprising. After all, she was still the 'princess' of a Noble Clan. It would make sense that her cultivation base has been fairly decent before having it sealed.Unfortunately, even after pressing each of the (+) marks in order, including the one showing her current arousal, Nobu wasn't able to uncover the reason why she hadn't been given a stone tablet. The only thing that came to mind was her sealed cultivation base, but, without 60,000 units of Aura, he couldn't be sure."Well...whatever..."Figuring he could always work it out when he had the Aura to spare, Nobu motioned to set aside the stone tablet only to notice that Onihime's eyes had following the movement. She could have just been staring at his hand, but, even after he had retracted it, her eyes lingered for a very brief moment.Regaining a fair amount of his earlier excitement, Nobu picked up the stone tablet and asked, "Can you see this?"Though she appeared slightly confused by his question, Onihime didn't hesitate to nod her head, answering, "Yes...?"Since there was no reason not to, Nobu's smile widened as he gestured for her to come closer, saying, "Here. I want you to try pressing this icon that looks like a glass sphere..."With a ruddy glow spreading through her cheeks, Onihime moved close enough that Nobu could smell an aroma similar to high-quality wine before gingerly tapping the screen.In the past, Nobu had experimented with having Midori, Sachiko, and Nariko press the icon on his tablet. Unfortunately, just as he couldn't do anything using their stone tablets, they were unable to make use of his. He expected this to be the case with Onihime as well, but, considering the strange circumstances that had led to her becoming his 'friend', it never hurt to try.Seeing a tiny 0.005 pop up the moment Onihime's finger pressed his screen, a massive grin spread across Nobu's face.Sensing her Master's excitement, Onihime's arousal increased to around 83% as she instinctually squeezed her inordinately plump thighs together. She might be remarkably petite for her age, but, were she to be compared to a human girl with a similar stature, even a fool could tell the difference between them. Her breasts might be small, but her body possessed curves that young human girls simply didn't. This included strong, plump, and remarkably soft thighs that were about 30% larger than a human of similar height and build."My Lord...?"Responding to Onihime's voice, Nobu looked down at the petite woman to find her looking up at him with what could best be described as an intoxicated expression on her face. The hairs on the back of his neck immediately stood on end, and, though his face was covered with a cloth soaked in mint oil, the wine-like aroma was becoming increasingly more fragrant with each passing moment.Feeling a familiar tightness in his throat, Nobu was about to tell Onihime to give him some space so he could explain his findings. Before the words could leave his mouth, however, she gently grasped the hem of his yukata, her voice tinged with an undertone of longing as she said, "It's okay...even if I look like this...I can take it..."Though his nature nearly compelled him to ask what the hell she was talking about, Nobu found himself unable to speak as he internally inquired, ("What the fuck is wrong with me? Am I seriously considering this...?")Noticing the reluctance in her Master's gaze, Onihime deflated like a balloon as she withdrew her hand and muttered, "Forgive me...I did not mean to cause any offense..."Furrowing his brows, a conflicted look developed across Nobu's face as he fixed his posture and said, "I'm not offended. It's just...even if you're like three-and-a-half times my age, you don't exactly look it. It feels like I would be committing a crime if I laid my hands on you..."While there was still a hint of melancholy in her expression, Onihime appeared more confused than anything else when she heard Nobu's explanation. There were women with appearances even more youthful than her own working in public brothels so she really wasn't quite sure what to make of his statement.Fortunately, in an effort to ease the awkward tensions that had built between them, Nobu did his best to explain a bit about himself and the stone tablet. His training and education had become a pretty major distraction as of late so it was quite a significant boon to discover the Onihime could do it for him. She was going to be his personal attendant and slave in the future, so, while it might not be the smartest idea to let a girl he hardly knew mess around with his cheat, knowing she had no choice but to obey his orders alleviated the majority of Nobu's concerns.........Ever since Nobu had forced her to lay her head in his lap, Kazue had been feeling markedly more absentminded than usual. She would normally pass her time by reflecting on her uselessness and the many mistakes she had made in the past, but, ever since Nobu gently ran his fingers through her hair, it was one of the only things she could think about."What the hell is wrong with me? Did I seriously fall in love with my own Lord...?"With her forearm resting on her forehead in a manner similar to Nobu, Kazue stared listlessly at the ceiling without a single strand of clothing anywhere on her body. She may have flunked out of the kunoichi program, but, much like every other member of the Yoshitsune Clan, she would rather be naked than fully clothed.The difference between her present and past states was that Kazue wasn't simply naked. Instead, her body glistened with a fresh layer of sweat after she had spent the better part of thirty minutes pleasuring herself to the memory of Nobu caressing her head. It was the feeling of release she felt after the fact that led to her current anguish, not because she had never masturbated, but because she felt like she had somehow defiled her Lord's intentions..."Haaaa..."Raising her tired body, Kazue was about to grab a bucket of water to clean herself with when the pupils of her hazel eyes contracted to the size of pinholes."If you scream, I will have no choice but to silence you...permanently..."Crouching less than three meters from where Kazue had been lying was a youthful-looking girl with obsidian-blue hair and hazy pink eyes. These weren't particularly uncommon traits, but, seeing the ears atop her head six tails shifting about like flames behind her, Kazue didn't have to ask. She knew exactly who the woman was.Under normal circumstances, Kazue would have bowed as low and reverentially as possible. In this particular set of circumstances, however, she felt like a field mouse that had just be discovered by a hungry fox. Her instincts told her that any movement whatsoever might lead to her end, yet, in spite of this, she inhaled a breath with the intention of shouting as loud as possible."Foolish girl...!"Pouncing on Kazue in an instant, Inami slammed the former into the ground with her hand covering her mouth. She really didn't want to hurt one of her own descendants, but, for the sake of the entire clan, she would do whatever it took to ensure their continued survival."Though you might be a failure, your loyalty towards your Lord is commendable. Not all kunoichi can remain steadfast when presented with circumstances such as this. For that, you have earned my respect. Now, sleep..."With her eyes releasing a hazy pink flow, Inami forced Kazue into a state of suggestiveness that made the one experienced by Nobu seem like a joke. She hadn't lived for more than six thousand years without mastering the abilities associated with her race. This included a kitsune's characteristic charm, and, most importantly, their ability to transform and create illusions."I assure you. I harbor no ill will towards your Lord. If you really wish to protect him and your fellow clanswomen, you will tell me everything you know about your Lord, his Heavenly Treasure, and your relationship with him. Tell me everything..."......(A/N: I kind of feel bad for Onihime, but the situation with Kazue is just unfair. Inami has gone too far this time...!)

Though there were a number of reasons why it wasn't okay for Kaia to pounce on him, one of the most factors for Nobu was how well developed she was. He wouldn't be a man if he didn't have any reaction at all when a buxom and mature woman was rubbing up against him. This wouldn't have been a problem with other women, but, thanks to her enhanced senses, it wasn't long before Kaia's pupils dilated as she asked, "Master wants to mate with Kaia...?""Hold up. You need to calm-"Before he could finish his words, Nobu found himself at a loss as Kaia brought her face near his crotch and took a very prolonged whiff of his junk. Just one would have been awkward, but, as if it was the most intoxicating thing she had ever smelled, Kaia held firm to Nobu's waist as she nuzzled her muzzle against the fabric of his yukata like a dog looking for a treat.("Fuck! Not this shit again...!")Fearing that he would get assaulted in front of Yui and the chick that had escorted them, Nobu did one of the only things he could think to do at the moment, his hands firmly grasping the sides of Kaia's head as he said, "Kaia! Bad girl...!""...!?"Though he wasn't quite sure what he expected, Nobu was both surprised and relieved when Kaia promptly jumped away from him with enough force to embed the nails of her hands and feet into the wall. This allowed her to literally cling to the wall upside down, an extremely stressed look on her face as she stared at him through the gaps in her hair.Patting himself on the chest, Nobu remained seated as he exhaled a sigh and said, "Come here. This time, try not to jump on me. I don't mind if you want to get close, but there are limits to what you can and can't do. And no. While you are certainly very attractive, I don't want to mate with you. My body just reacted because you were rubbing up against me..."Relaxing her claws, Kaia managed to dislodge herself from the wall before cautiously crawling over to Nobu's side. She didn't really understand most of his words but she knew enough not to repeat the same mistakes as before. This time, instead of pouncing on him immediately, she waited for him to extend his hand before rubbing her head and ears against it.As strange as the scene of a mature beauty behaving like a pet was, Nobu would be lying if he said he didn't find it strangely endearing. He had never even considered pet play and he would probably beat the living shit out of anyone who dared to refer to him as a furry. Now, however, he could kind of understand why people were into that kind of shit...With his fingers digging into the base of Kaia's inordinately large and fluffy ears, Nobu repeated the same phrase that had compelled the bestial beauty to pounce on him, his tone soft and ostensibly affectionate as he muttered, "Good girl..."Though her body tensed like a spring, Kaia managed to restrain the urge to pounce. Instead, she just moved closer to Nobu's side, affectionately nestling against him with her paw clinging to the fabric of his yukata. She was quite a bit larger than most Nianese women at 169cm tall, but, the moment she beside her Master, Kaia felt like she was a tiny mouse seeking the warmth of a hearth in wintertime. She could feel his body heat flowing into her, and, though it wasn't enough to fill the emptiness that had accompanied her throughout her entire life, it helped a lot..."Master..."......After a much longer stay than anyone anticipated, Nobu managed to pacify Kaia after promising to prepare a place for her at their new home. The thought of leaving her alone didn't sit well with him. He also had no intention of trekking halfway over the mountain once a month just to see her. Thus, for both of their sakes, he intended to have Kaia moved to his personal estate on the Northern side of the mountain."That went surprisingly well. I never imagined you would have such a way with Kaia. Nobody else has ever been able to get that close to her..."Though he knew Yui was trying to compliment him, Nobu was still feeling a little annoyed about Kaia's situation. He knew he was the main reason for her imprisonment, but he still felt compelled to ask, "Have you ever tried? It seems to me like everyone has been treating her like a wild animal..."Exhaling a tired sigh, Yui left Nobu feeling at a loss for words as she said, "You're right. However, we treated her that way for a reason. Lycans are among the most dangerous and bloodthirsty creatures in all of Nian. What you saw tonight is the most stable version of Kaia. As the moon begins its cycle anew, she will begin to grow increasingly temperamental as her body experiences rapid changes. By the eve of the full moon, she will be indistinguishable from a pure-blooded Lycan whose animalistic instincts compel her to consume human flesh..."Remembering the time her grandmother had forced everyone in Nobu's entourage to witness Kaia in her fully transformed state, a rare shudder ran through Yui's body. She had faced off against Aura Beasts that were dozens of times her size, but, the moment she found herself being stared down by the 3m tall werewolf, her body had frozen up like a small animal that had just encountered an apex predator. It was like staring into the eyes of death. There was nothing any of them could do.Noticing the strange states of Yui and the other girls escorting him, Nobu opted to remain silent for the rest of the journey. Even Kiku seemed genuinely spooked and she was wearing a demonic mask that covered the lower half of her face. Thus, at least for the time being, he decided not to question their decision to detain the surprisingly adorable wolf woman........."What do you think? He's rather interesting, isn't he~?"Having observed the encounter between Nobu and Kaia from start to finish, Hitomi's impression of him had improved quite a bit. Sure, he was foolish and naive to the point of being a liability, but, at the same time, there was a certain charm to his behavior that made people want to support him."His ability to suppress his fear is remarkable. Had he been born in a shinobi family, he would have become an excellent assassin..."Shifting her attention to the woman who had spoken, Hitomi adopted an amused smile as she said, "Fumetsu-dono. While I can appreciate your passion, your penchant for evaluating people based on their capacity as an assassin is ill-suited for this particular situation..."With a dark mask covering the lower half of her face, long bangs covering her eyes, and pitch-black sclera framing her golden eyes, it was impossible to see even a modicum of change in Fumetsu, the Security Elder's expression. The ornamental gold and black horns protruding from her forehead also gave her a rather demonic impression, so, whenever people encountered her for the first time, they would typically freeze up, forfeiting their lives in the process."..."Since she didn't really have anything else to contribute, Fumetsu decided to remain silent so that others might have a chance to speak. This allowed Suzune, who was in high spirits after reaching a compromise with Nobu, to remark, "I concur. His personality and character are markedly different from native-born Nianese. He presents himself as a harsh and abrasive person on the surface, but, deep down, he has a kind and forgiving heart. We'll have to take extra precautions to prevent him from being taken advantage of. Ufufufufu~"Contributing her own giggle, Hitomi made a mental note to keep a close eye on Suzune in the near future as she shifted her heterochromatin gaze to the final Elder present, Yumie, the Poison Elder. In response, the latter returned a teasing smile as she noted, "He has inherited the temperament Lord Seken was known for in his youth. I'm looking forward to seeing how the two will interact with each other."Though she could have concealed it, Hitomi allowed a reminiscent smile to develop across her face as she mused, "You're right. To that end, we must do everything in our power to protect Nobunaga-sama until he can mature. The fate of Nian may very well depend on it..."As those words left her lips, Hitomi caressed the glowing crystal ball with the palm of her hand. This earned her curious looks from the three Elders, but, understanding the former had a personal stake in their Young Lord's fate, they elected not to question her intentions.........After a surprisingly peaceful evening, Nobu awoke to find Yui nestled against him in all her naked glory. This was becoming increasingly common as of late, so, without thinking about it, he planted a simple peck on her forehead before rising to stretch his back and body.Waiting until she heard Nobu's groan, Yui resisted the urge to touch her head as she opened her eyes and emulated his behavior. This earned her an amused chuckle from the former, who, at the same time, couldn't help internally remarking, ("I guess yawning is as infectious here as it is in my previous world.")As that thought crossed his mind, the smile on Nobu's face faded as the voice of Yuriko reached his ears, asking, "Need some help with that?"Even without following the direction of her gaze, Nobu knew Yuriko was asking about the rather sizeable tent he was pitching. His interactions with Kaia had left him a little high strung, but, due to how tired he had been, the notion of having sex had only briefly crossed his mind.Though he was tempted to say it would take care of itself, Nobu recalled that it had been a few days since he and Yuriko last did anything together. He was gradually beginning to come to terms with the fact that he owed each of these girls quite a lot, so, after a moment of consideration, he surprised by Yui and Yuriko by lying back, hands crossed behind his head as he said, "Go for it." in an ostensibly casual tone.As her initial intention had been to tease him, Yuriko was pleasantly surprised by Nobu's response. For a brief moment, she even had a triumphant look on her face until she noticed Yui staring at her with a pointed look in her eyes. This caused her smile to immediately vanish, but, deep down, deep enough that it tickled a certain spot beneath her navel, Yuriko was still feeling very excited.Fortunately, Yuriko almost always kept her hair in a ponytail. Thus, under the watchful eyes of quite a number of Kunoichi, she deftly loosened the belt of Nobu's yukata before lowering her mouth to meet his glans. Then, for the better part of half an hour, she used every technique she could think of to keep him hard for as long as possible. A part of her hoped that he would get excited enough to ask for sex, but, with multiple people watching, she knew it wasn't going to happen.........Taking advantage of the fact that Nobu and his entourage were away, Inami was skulking around the former's bedroom with a serious expression on her face. As the Guardian of the Clan, she knew all the Clan's secrets, so, while others would struggle to navigate the waterway hidden beneath the estate, it might as well be an open passage from her perspective."Come on...there has to be something here. How can I possibly seduce that man if I don't know anything about him?"With the intention of discovering some kind of weakness, Inami was crawling around on all fours with her nose pressed to the ground. There were a lot of different scents present within the room, but, as time passed, an idea of who she could target began to appear in the back of the kitsune's mind.........(A/N: O_O...)
