Nobunaga Oda's Isekai Cultivation Experience

After congratulating Reina on her successful breakthrough, the first thing Nobu did upon returning to the estate was going to visit Kaia. He had warned her in advance that he was going to be busy so she was more than a little happy to see him. As for Nobu, he had become fond of reclining against her belly as he fiddled around with the stone tablet.She was very fluffy.........With the dawn of a new day, Nobu felt Kaia's body rapidly shrinking until his head was lying against her naked body. Her arms, legs, back, shoulders, and even her neck were still covered in silvery-grey fur, but, for the most part, she was completely smooth from her collarbone to her ass crack. It was a strange sight as he half-expected her to have a bush as thick as the fur covering her tail.Rising to a seated position, Nobu made no efforts to conceal his appreciation of Kaia's figure as he remarked, "Nice. You're even more beautiful without your muzzle."As he would normally be gone long before she transformed back into her human form, this was the first time Nobu was seeing Kaia without her muzzle on. She was actually more sexually aggressive in her human form, so, even though Nobu felt it wasn't necessary, the others had insisted she remains muzzled at all times.While a normal woman might have blushed upon receiving such a compliment, Kaia's pupils visibly contracted as her ears and tail became noticeably rigid. She was happy, make no mistake, but she was also worried that she might do something bad without her muzzle on. She had been wearing it for as far back as she could remember. The only exceptions were just before her transformation and immediately after it.Noticing Kaia's nervousness, Nobu just rolled his eyes before asking, "Why are you so nervous? Are you going to bite me?"Shaking her head rather violently, Kaia exclaimed, "Kaia would never bite Master...!" in a somewhat panicked tone.Nodding his head in approval, Nobu gestured for her to come closer, saying, "Good. Then there's no reason to be nervous. Come on."With her ears lying flat against the top of her head, Kaia sent a brief glance towards Inami before cautiously approaching her Master. When he suddenly gave her a hug, her body briefly tensed before her ears quickly returned to their full height. Then, with her tail wagging behind her, she returned his embrace while nuzzled against his face and chin."See? No problems. Kaia is a good girl."With her tail waggling with even greater force, Kaia chimed a happy, "Nn~!" while doing her best to suppress the growing flame in her lower body.........After the others helped her get dressed, Nobu made a point to tell everyone Kaia no longer had to wear her muzzle. This made a few of them nervous, but, unlike before, they no longer questioned his decisions regarding the ostensibly feral woman. They had treated her as an untamable beast for years, yet, after a mere couple of weeks, Nobu had reached a point where he could even lay against her transformed state without showing fear. It was honestly a little ridiculous, but, considering some of the other things Nobu had accomplished, taming a Half-Lycan seemed relatively normal.In reality, Nobu had been using the stone tablet to suppress Kaia's animalistic instincts. Similar to Onihime, Kaia had various abnormal status effects pertaining to her Hunger, Bloodlust, and even her Mating Instinct. Nobu had secretly been using the stone tablet to gradually reduce these over time, so, while it was true he was 'taming' her, the main reason Kaia was so stable was because of the stone tablet. After all, there was no way in hell he was going to enter a cell with a 373cm Lycan who desperately wanted to mate with him. He found her furry appendages appealing when she was in her human form but that was his limit.Fortunately, even when he would periodically remove the effects of Hunger or randomly increase the libido of girls in his entourage, none of them seemed to notice. The stone tablet's influence was very subtle, and, unless they were paying close attention to their Status, they wouldn't notice even if he made slight adjustments to their physical parameters.Though it was sus as hell, Nobu had been investing small amounts of Aura into tweaking things the girls had either complained about or mentioned being interested in. Chikako was a good example of this as she had confided in him that she preferred anal over other forms of intercourse. Thus, for the sake of increasing her enjoyment even further, Nobu had been investing small amounts of Aura into a nifty little parameter called Anal Sensitivity. Now, whenever they went gold mining together, her eyes would literally roll towards the back of her head after just a few minutes of intense drilling.If he were being completely honest, Nobu was slightly addicted to the feeling of being able to subtly influence the people around him. The best part was that the girls had literally given him permission to do so. In other words, he didn't have to feel guilty even if he was subtly increasing the size of their breasts and butts to suit his preferences.Unfortunately, Nobu only had about half his entourage added to his Friends List. This meant, even though she was clearly interested in it, he couldn't increase the size of Yui's breasts. He would be able to in the future, but, for the time being, she could only hope they would swell a bit during her pregnancy..."Why do I get the feeling you were thinking something very rude just now...?"Opening his eyes, Nobu stared up at Yui, who, by request, was currently offering her soft and pliant thighs as his pillow."Not gonna lie. I was just thinking about how amazing you'll look with a pair of knockers that would put even Aiko to shame."Averting her eyes, a faint blush colored Yui's cheeks as she muttered, "How foolish..." in a soft tone. At the same time, however, a tell-tale aroma tickled Nobu's nose as he pulled out his stone tablet to confirm that Yui was, in fact, beginning to feel horny.Though he couldn't add her to his Friends List, Nobu had invested the 23,000 Aura necessary to be able to see Yui's Status. He couldn't stand not knowing if she were poisoned or not, so, once he had a bit of Aura to spare, he immediately invested it into analyzing her and each of the girls he had yet to add as friends."You really are adorable, you know that? Like, seriously. You normally give off this cool and razor-sharp vibe. It's such a stark contrast between your current self that I can't help thinking you're cute as fuck..."With a far more prominent blush coloring her face, Yui exhaled a resigned sigh as she muttered, "If you want to have sex, there's no need to be so roundabout...you don't need to dazzle me with such flowery words..."Resisting the urge to ask her what was so flowery about calling her cute as fuck, Nobu just smiled as he said, "I like seeing you like this. It's a face you only show to me and the people we're closest to..."On that note, Nobu made a point to show Yui he wasn't a complete horndog by closing his eyes and simply enjoying the feeling of her thighs pressed against his head and neck. He didn't think it was possible but he was actually feeling a little spent the past couple of days. He had been having sex a little too often. As a result, he was actually starting to enjoy moments like this even more than when the girls screamed out his name during sex...Seeing Nobu close his eyes, Yui's expression reflected her confusion as she blinked several times in surprise. This was different from how things usually went. In the past, Nobu would always follow his flirtatious words with proactive action. Because of this, she had even primed herself to start getting wet the moment he began flirting. Now, her body was prepared to receive him but Nobu showed no signs of actually pushing her down..."Are you teasing me...?"Opening his eyes, Nobu had to restrain a laugh as he saw the serious look on Yui's face. She looked like a woman who had been invited to a hotel after drinks only to discover that the man wanted to talk. It was honestly hilarious, but, instead of saying that, he just shook his head and said, "Nah...I'm just a little tired. Don't worry. Once I'm done relaxing, I'll be sure to pound that pussy of yours until your Grandmother can feel it through that little crystal ball of hers..."After learning about the crystal ball from Hitomi herself, Nobu knew the old bat had been using it to spy on him. She and the other MILFs had also been flirting with him every chance they got. If it wasn't for the fact he had already knocked up the most senior of their group, he might have given them all a good dicking just to quench their thirst. After all, while her physique wasn't much of an upgrade from Yui's, Hitomi was an enchantingly beautiful woman.Though she wanted to knock Nobu's head for saying such a thing about her Grandmother, Yui wasn't oblivious. She knew her Grandmother would jump at the chance to sleep with Nobu. She had literally said as such during one of their private conversations. Thus, after a moment of silence, she just shook her head before gently caressing Nobu's forehead and forcefully suppressing the fire in her loins........."That cheeky little brat..."As she was, in fact, keeping an eye on the two lovebirds, Hitomi's brow began to twitch after she read Nobu's lips. Since she was already naked, it took quite a bit of willpower to suppress the urge to charge down the mountain and teach the foul-mouthed boy a lesson. Instead, she just continued to observe with a practiced yet visibly amused smile on her face.........While Hitomi was humoring thoughts of educating a second generation of Oda Clan Lords, another Elder was humoring similar yet markedly more selfish thoughts.Suzune, after learning of Inami's pregnancy, had begun to worry that her plans to pair Nobu with her daughter would end in failure. Unfortunately, even though numerous people had explained that it was perfectly acceptable for girls even younger than Shizune's to marry and have children, Nobu wouldn't budge. To make matters even worse, he was readily empowering a bunch of trainees while her daughter, despite living under the same roof, went largely ignored...If she could, Suzune would happily go back in time to give her daughter a stern talking to. In fact, if she could, she would smack Shizune's head until such thoughts were nowhere to be found. Instead, she was forced to live in a present where the daughter she cherished more than life itself attempted to **** their future Lord...the man prophesied to unify all of Nian..."Oh, Shizune...how can you be so intelligent yet so unbelievably stupid...?"Prior to the incident, Suzune never would have badmouthed her daughter. Now, however, she was full of complaints about her pink-haired progeny. Shizune literally had everything handed to her on a silver platter yet she still managed to mess things up in a single moment. She had let her curiosity get the better of her, and, as a result, her entire future had been compromised.Fortunately, Nobu, despite all his claims, was a kind and benevolent person. There was still a chance that Shizune could secure a place at his side. Unfortunately, there were still around 26 months until she turned eighteen. Given Nobu's current rate of growth, he would most likely be in the process of conquering the neighboring Provinces by then. Thus, with her daughter limited by her age and the fact Nobu currently hated her, Suzune had little choice but to take matters into her own hands. The only question was, how did she seduce him whilst Inami and Hitomi were watching over his every action...?......(A/N: Everyone wants a taste of Nobu...)

In an effort to keep his anger over Takao's death from fading, Nobu made sure to check in on Rukia at least once a day. The rest of his time was split between training, learning, listening to reports, and lazing about. He would also stop by to check in on the nineteen students living within the barracks, but, after finding a group of them lounging about in the buff, he decided to restrict his visits to the dojo and during training time.Though he had actually gotten used to seeing Midori, Nariko, Sachiko, Reina, and Chi-Chi running around, Nobu was still uncomfortable around naked and sociable children. The girls were trying to help him overcome this particular 'weakness', but, unless he encountered a situation where it was literally used against him, Nobu doubted he would be able to overcome it.Fortunately, nudity was a lot less 'prominent' outside of the Yoshitsune Clan. Once he finally left the mountain, the only naked people Nobu would encounter would be his women.Nian was an extremely conservative nation that elevated men to a much higher status than women. As a result, women, even farmers, walked around in restrictive clothing that covered everything but their faces, hands, and ankles. This was one of the reasons Kunoichi could use their nakedness as a weapon as most people were simply unprepared to deal with such an overt expression of sexuality.Though Inami, Yui, and even Onihime had been advising him to overcome his 'weakness' to the female form, Nobu struggled to see matters from their perspective. Sure, he could be distracted by a beautiful woman, but, with so many surrounding him on a daily basis, he wasn't exactly thirsting for more. He wasn't just going to stick his dick in some random thot he had never met, and, thanks to his Heavenly Treasure, he didn't have to worry about his Kunoichi dying off.It was apparently a rite of passage for Nobles in the Oda Clan to mature through the loss of people they had known their entire lives. Nobu found this utterly ridiculous, so, even if an enemy state did try to honeytrap him, he had no reason to humor them. He was surrounded by beauties who were almost too eager to sleep with him. If some random chick, or, even worse, some random brat tried to approach him, he would simply tell them to fuck off........."You're starting to get a little chubby..."Snorting in response to Nobu's words, Inami lightly smacked his head. She didn't use any strength, however, so Nobu didn't really pay it any mind. Instead, he continued to caress the growing bump on her belly with an absentminded smile on his face.Seeing Nobu's expression, Inami's annoyance promptly evaporated as she tentatively asked, "Are you looking forward to being a father?"Blinking back to awareness, Nobu stared directly into Inami's glowing pink eyes as he answered, "To be completely honest...not really. Hell, I still can't believe I knocked you up. Seeing both you and Yui develop through the stages of pregnancy... it's almost like I'm viewing the world through someone else's eyes. It doesn't feel real..."Furrowing her brows, a conflicted look flashed across Inami's face until Nobu, still smiling, added, "I just hope I don't fuck up..."Though she was a little confused by Nobu's contrary words, Inami understood he wasn't upset. He might not be looking forward to being a father but it was obvious he was going to do his best. This was a good sign, and, knowing Nobu's character, she was certain he would be a better father than most."Have you thought of any names...?"After recovering from the momentary shut down of his mental faculties, Nobu shook his head and answered, "Not really...I've had a lot of other things on my mind..."Between all his other duties, Nobu had also been working on plans to develop the infrastructure of Yumegakure. The Yoshitsune Clan would undoubtedly be his most powerful ally in the future so he wanted to improve the quality of life for the inhabitants of Yumegakure. Thus, alongside his other studies, he had also been researching materials, construction methods, and Nianese architecture.Having personally observed Nobu's progress since his arrival, Inami didn't doubt his words in the slightest. He had gone from lazing about most of the day to sleeping fewer than five hours each night. On some days, he wouldn't sleep at all. Instead, he would supplement sleep by making love to her first thing in the morning. If he was especially tired, he might even take her in the middle of the day...As that thought crossed her mind, Inami's tails began to flow and undulate at a noticeably faster rate. Fortunately, she was coming up on the end of her first trimester in the next couple of weeks so her libido had mellowed quite a bit. She wouldn't refuse if Nobu propositioned her but she no longer felt the need to pounce on him every time he made a lewd or flirtatious remark.In an effort to calm both herself and Nobu, Inami elected to remain silent as she leaned her head against his shoulder and closed her eyes. She had noticed he was becoming fond of such displays of affection, and, while she would never openly admit it, so was she. Thus, for the better part of ten minutes, she just remained silent until Nobu asked, "On the subject of children...wasn't I supposed to meet my little sister? It's been like two months since I met with my parents. It's a little strange I haven't heard back from them."Though she didn't remove her head from his shoulder, Inami issued an "Nn..." of acknowledgment before proceeding to explain, "Your sister, Oda Nobuhime, is only five months old right now. While it is not impossible to move her, traveling with such a young infant is dangerous. If something were to happen, ensuring her safety would be difficult as even running could jeopardize her life..."Having experienced a rather extreme case of whiplash the first time Inami pulled him with her Aura, Nobu just uttered an understanding, "Ah..." before falling silent. Inami followed this example, but, at the same time, she made a mental note to discuss the matter with Hitomi. Nobu had a penchant for asking remarkably relevant questions. Now that he was inquiring about Nobuhime, there was a very high probability that something was going to happen to her in the near future.........Though she was depressed knowing she wouldn't be able to spend time with her baby for another year, the entire Oda Clan had noticed the improvement in Nana's health and mood.Prior to her reunion with Nobu, Nana only smiled when she was alone with her husband or looking after her children. Toward everyone else, she was a cold and emotionless woman, who, despite her poor health and fragile constitution, radiated an Aura reminiscent of having a blade at your throat.Unlike most cultivators in Nian, Nana had inherited the now-defunct Suzuki Clan's Sword Arts. Her cultivation method was simply a modified version of the Metal Infusion Technique, but, instead of generating an Aura to protect her body, most of her techniques revolved around strengthening the sword she had inherited from her late Grandfather. It was a heritage item that could rival even the sacred treasures of the Imperial Family so it had made a fine dowry when she was practically sold off to the Oda Clan.Fortunately, unlike other women in her situation, Nana had the fortune of falling in love with her would-be husband at first sight. They had very similar natures when they were young, and, when Senken was traipsing around the Province and causing all manner of mischief, she had been right beside him.Now, after giving birth to four children, Nana was a lot weaker than her past self. Her cultivation base had decreased from Platinum 4 to Platinum 1, and, due to her decade-long sickness, there were times when she struggled to even move her body. As for her Clan's ancestral sword, it had been collecting dust within the golden band around her left hand. When he was ready, she was intending to gift it to Nobu, but, until then, she would keep it safe from prying eyes..."Hey, hey, Sen-chan. How much longer are we going to wait? Hime-hime is starting to get a little impatient."Shifting his attention from his wife to the adorable little girl sleeping peacefully in her arms, Senken resisted the urge to point out she didn't seem particularly troubled by the delay. He knew his wife was just missing their son. Unfortunately, there were already a number of rumors spreading among the other factions regarding Nobu's imminent return. He even suspected the uprising in Owari-Asai was due to the influence of his younger brother. Thus, for the past two months, he had simply been too busy to even consider an excursion beyond the city walls."Relax. I've been in contact with Hitomi. If everything goes as planned, our son should be visiting in the next couple of days. He won't be coming to the estate but we should be able to meet him as he is exploring the city."Perking up the moment she heard her husband's words, the only thing preventing Nana from pouncing on him was the infant in her arms. She could have passed Hime off to someone else, but, unless she was severely ill, she did her best to take care of her children on her own. This used to be a way to compensate for the anxiety she felt about her inability to care for Nobu, but, now that she knew he was safe, she kind of wanted to baby all of her children...As if sensing her mother's giddiness, Nobuhime opened her silvery-blue eyes with an adorable yet visibly annoyed expression on her face. Unlike a normal infant, however, she didn't cry out or wail the moment she woke up. Instead, she just stared silently at her mother until Senken noticed she was awake. This was one of the reasons they wanted Nobu and her to meet, as, with the exception of her birthing cry, Hime had never cried.........With the sun beginning to set upon the horizon, Nobu set aside the brush he had been using to write before exhaling a tired sigh. Caligraphy was one of the skills expected of a Noble, so, while it was a pain in the ass, he had to learn the basics. Fortunately, despite the fact that Nianese society was clearly based on Japan, Kanji was basically an ancient language. They knew the meanings of certain symbols, but, for the most part, even scholars struggled to comprehend the language for reasons that could only be explained away as isekai bullshit.Though he had only studied it for two years in High School, Nobu actually knew a fair amount of Japanese due to his parents speaking it around him when he was young. As a result, he might be the most proficient Japanese speaker in all of Nian. This sounded pretty ridiculous, but, compared to reincarnating in a world with a fucking Clicker App, it wasn't particularly abnormal."Even though I've seen it numerous times, I can't help feeling awed by my Lord's mastery over the Ancient Script. It truly is remarkable..."Shaking his head, Nobu elected to simply ignore Kumiko's praise as he said, "I'm gonna head to the bath. It's been a long day and I want to relax before eating dinner. You coming?"With a beaming smile on her face, Kumiko promptly answered, "Of course~!" as if it was the most natural course of action. Unfortunately, even though they had gotten in earlier than usual, it didn't take long for several others to arrive. This included the troublesome quintet, so, while Kumiko had been looking forward to a bit of fun, her plans were ruined by Nariko and Chi-Chi arguing over who gets to wash their Master's back.........(A/N: Nobu is the flag master O w O...)

Seeing Reina arrive alongside Onihime, a smile developed across Nobu's face as he said, "Hey there, kiddo. You ready to break through to the next Realm?"With a fairly obvious blush developing across her face, Reina held her hands up in a bashful manner as she nodded her head furiously. This caused Nobu's smile to turn wry, but, having already gotten used to shy blunette's behavior, he turned to Inami and said, "I guess we're ready."Nodding her head, Inami wrapped her Aura around the entire group before leaping through the air as if the added weight of three people had no effect on her speed.........Ever since Nobu entered the Third Realm, Breath of Water, Inami had been forcing him to spend at least three days a week training at night. The Moon was the most readily available source of Yin Elemental Energy, and, much like it had been in the Avatar universe, it had a significant influence on his ability to manipulate water.Though he was still intending to get a bit of training in, tonight was special since Reina would be using the light of the full moon to break into the Third Realm. Her cultivation method, the Nine Phases Frost Phoenix Technique was among the most unique Nobu had ever given out. It required an Innate Yin Physique just to cultivate, and, unlike traditional methods, the Aura requirement for each Realm only increased by a factor of nine.Simply put, Reina was able to ascend to the First Realm at 900 Aura, the Second Realm at 8100 Aura, and the Third Realm at 72,900 Aura. This might make it sound like a detriment considering people at the same Rank would always be stronger her, but, contrary to what most people would believe, she was far more powerful due to the suppressive effect Yin and Ice Elemental Energy had against anyone who didn't cultivate similar energies.While she might never become a powerhouse that can move around at supersonic speeds, Reina could literally freeze everything in her surroundings just by releasing her Aura. If she managed to get her hands on you, she could send her energy into your body and influence the energy channels in your body.Though she was far from the point of being able to instantaneously freeze a target, it only took a single touch for Reina to temporarily cripple her opponents. Yin Elemental Energy was especially difficult to resolve if it was inserted into your body forcefully. Thus, unless you were exponentially stronger than her, she could basically inhibit your ability to use Aura until the invasive energy had been removed.According to Inami, this was a natural defense mechanism for women with excess Yin Elemental Energy. Their Auras naturally attracted people with strong Yang Elemental Energy, so, without the means to protect themselves, they would quickly become victims. She also speculated that this was the reason the Nine Phases Frost Phoenix Technique required such minimal Aura to advance to the next Realm. Without the ability to increase their strength quickly, it wouldn't be long before women with an Innate Yin Physique found themselves as a cultivation furnace.Fortunately for Reina, she had a benefit that no other possessor of an Innate Yin Physique had the fortune to possess: a kind Lord with an unbelievably powerful Heavenly Treasure.While most possessors of an Innate Yin Physique struggled throughout the entirety of their short lives, Reina was fortunate due to the fact she didn't need to spend decades avoiding people and cultivating in private. She wasn't even eight years old but she was already preparing to enter into the Third Realm. This would make her a highly coveted target for anyone looking for a cultivation furnace, but, so long as she followed Inami's example and remained within the boundaries of the mountain, that wasn't an issue.With thoughts of her Lord providing ample motivation, Reina followed Inami's instructions to the letter as she meditated, naked, atop a white jade platform. As for Nobu, he sat off to the side with his back facing the young girl. He had removed his shirt to increase the efficacy of his meditation, so, every now and then, Reina would look over before quickly closing her eyes and regaining focus.Had she not been sneaking a number of peeks herself, Inami would have admonished Reina for her lack of focus. Instead, she elected to simply ignore the young trainee's behavior as this was actually a positive development. The stronger her feelings towards Nobu were, the better. After all, while he might have no intention of viewing her that way, Reina was still an ideal cultivation furnace. It would benefit all of them if she remained at his side.Unaware of the conclusion reached by Inami and the other Elders, Nobu took advantage of the Yin, Ice, and Water Elemental Energy surging towards Reina to produce several spheres of water. He was still getting used to the sensation but he could feel his connection with the spheres growing as they slowly orbited his body. It was almost like they were linked to him by an invisible yet rigid string. He could feel their weight, their temperature, and, whenever he moved around, they would follow each of his movements with a slight delay, almost as if he was using one of those elastic toys shaped like a hand.Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, Nobu wasn't able to do anything like blood bending. It might be possible in the future, but, for the time being, he still needed to bone Inami just to be able to turn water into ice. Men produced a very minuscule amount of Yin Elemental Energy, and, unless they cultivated a specific technique, retaining it for long periods of time was impossible. Thus, while he wanted to be able to fling around massive blocks of ice as if they were paperweights, Nobu still had a long way to go before he could even jokingly refer to himself as the Avatar.As that thought crossed his mind, each of the spheres of water around Nobu's body collapsed to the ground. He was running low on Aura, so, the moment his mind began to wander, his control over the elements slipped away."Clear your mind. Don't let impatience guide you. The main reason you are struggling to control your Aura is that you have too much. Most people spend decades to reach where you are. During that time, their primary focus in on spiritual development rather than physical conditioning. Your Heavenly Treasure provides numerous benefits, but, without adequate control, you will struggle to bring your power to bear. Like the elements themselves, you need to free your mind and simply be. Stop trying to force it."Opening his eyes, Nobu found Inami crouching right in front of him. The moment she was finished speaking, she placed her palm against the crown of his head, and, as a result, his depleted reserves rapidly filled. This was a common yet extremely difficult to master technique known as Conversion and Transference. It was typically used to preserve someone's life when they were on the verge of Aura depletion, but, at times like this, it could be used to aid in the training of others.Once the process was completed, Inami combed her fingers through Nobu's hair, her expression softening as she said, "You have so much potential. More than anyone I've ever laid eyes on. You just need to learn how to control it before it controls you..."Understanding that Nobu wasn't the type to enjoy being pampered or treated like a child, Inami quickly retracted her hand before returning to her position at Reina's side. This had proven to be the most effective method to teaching him as his pride caused him to become increasingly more obstinant the more people tried to help him. Thus, rather than watch his every move, she offered affection and advice before effectively ignoring him.Furrowing his brows, Nobu followed Inami's departure with his head before shaking his head and returning to his training. He hated being coddled so he was determined to prove to her that he was the one in control, not his power.........After seven and a half hours of meditation, an icy Aura erupted from Reina's body. In its wake, an area approximately ten meters in diameter became covered in a layer of white frost as she exhaled a large plume of frigid condensation from her pale pink lips.Following her sigh of relief, Reina opened her eyes to find that even her body was covered in a thin layer of frost. Instead of feeling cold, however, she felt comfortable. It was like the ice was a part of her, and, shortly after that thought crossed her mind, a blue and white kimono that glistened under the light of the moon appeared to cover her naked frame."Oh? I never expected you to be able to form a raiment as early as the Third Realm. It appears the cultivation method given to you by our Lord is even more amazing than we initially believed. Make sure you thank him properly. Without it, you most likely would have died within the next four to six years..."Controlling her voice so that only Reina could hear it, Inami wanted to make sure the young girl knew exactly who to thank for her survival. Fortunately, Reina was as intelligent as she was docile. She was also highly impressionable due to the drastic change in her circumstances, so, the moment she heard Inami's words, a resolute light flashed across her icy-blue eyes as she nodded her head and answered, "I understand, Inami-sama. I will not waste the opportunity our Lord has given me!"Nodding her head in approval, Inami extended her hand to caress Reina's hair only to feel the Yin Elemental Energy in her body surge from her palm. This was slightly startling, but, rather than resist the unexpected siphoning, Inami allowed Reina to absorb quite a bit before naturally retracting her hand.As the fundamental force representing the earth, darkness, and cold, Yin Elemental Energy could lead to complications during pregnancy so it was beneficial for both Inami and Reina to allow the latter to absorb as much as possible. Fortunately, Reina's constitution made her a literal battery for Yin Elemental Energy. If she wasn't afraid Nobu would have a breakdown and attack the young girl like a beast in heat, she might transfer every ounce of excess energy she had into the unsuspecting bluenette's body.........Ceasing his training the moment Reina's Aura surged outward, Nobu cast a glance in her direction before climbing to his feet and popping his back. In response, Onihime promptly supplied a warm and steamy towel, saying, "You've worked hard, Master."Nodding his head, Nobu accepted the warm towel before placing it around his neck and shoulders and releasing a content sigh. Then, before approaching the frosty duo in the distance, he extended his hand to give the earnest oni a head pat. She was literally the perfect size for it so it had become the most common way in which he rewarded her outside the estate.Though she puffed out her cheeks ever so slightly, Onihime didn't mind her Master's caress. In fact, she was quite fond of it since she knew full well he didn't actually regard her as a child. If he did, he wouldn't force her down and gouge her insides nearly every other day of the week.As that thought crossed her mind, steam began to rise from Onihime's body due to the humidity and the drastic difference in her temperature compared to the surroundings. When Nobu burst out laughing, the steam became even more prominent. Fortunately, he didn't openly make fun of her. If he had, she might have become a wandering cloud with horns sticking out.........(A/N: I wonder how upset Nobu would be if someone compared his control issues to Naruto xD...)

Chapter 105: Excitement and Fatigue
