In Hentai World as Mira Tsubakihara's Relative

Chapter 561 561: Rurie Can’t Hold Back; Madam, It’s Time to Take Your Medicine

Hikari smiled, "It's fine. I was the one who had you lead me down to the basement anyway. As long as it's dealt with."

"Mm, as long as it's dealt with, that's good. We've got the key too, so now we can go back… ah!", Just as she was speaking, Takahara Ren suddenly trembled hard, shivering again.

"Hm?" Hikari looked at her in confusion.

Takahara Ren hugged her chest with both arms, equally puzzled, "I… am I really okay? Why do I feel like my body is still a bit cold?"

"Come closer. I'll check for you," Hikari said.

Takahara Ren quickly stepped up to his side.

Hikari reached out and felt along her body.

In the end, his hand lingered on her soft, flat lower abdomen for quite a while. Only when Takahara Ren started to blush from embarrassment did he finally pull his hand back.

"H-how is it?", she asked nervously.

"There really is still a bit of a problem," Hikari frowned as he looked at her slightly pale face again.

The cold, sinister aura that had been transmitted into Takahara Ren was truly strange.

In less than half a minute of her holding the key, it had already affected both the inside and outside of her body.

Just now, he had already cleared out most of it using a combined internal and external method, yet a few strands had still slipped through.

And those remnants weren't just affecting her, they would also attract other black, sinister energy within the Munakata residence.

Under the pull of those traces still inside her, it probably wouldn't take long before the cold, evil aura inside her accumulated even more than before.

Seeing Hikari, who had been calm and composed all along, suddenly turn serious, Takahara Ren knew things weren't good.

She asked fearfully, "Hikari-kun, is it very serious?"

"Is there… no way to fix it?"

Hikari briefly explained that there were still some leftover strands of the sinister aura inside her that hadn't been completely removed.

Hearing that even the earlier exorcism, from inside to outside, hadn't fully cleared it, and that it might even get worse, Takahara Ren's face turned deathly pale.

"I-it's okay. I've already troubled you a lot, Hikari-kun. It's fine if there's no way to fix it."

"I'm also worried it might affect you… let's just leave it. Maybe it'll get better on its own."

"I've always had good luck. Maybe that evil aura will just disappear by itself."

"And at worst… if I die, then I die. I'm not scared!"

Takahara Ren forced out a smile, one that looked worse than crying, as she spoke.

Looking at her expression, how could Hikari not tell that this young girl was putting on a brave face?

She had probably realized how terrifying the cold, sinister aura inside her was.

Worried about affecting him, she was deliberately forcing a smile to reassure him.

After all, how could a girl her age truly not fear death?

Looking at the delicate maid who seemed to have resigned herself while forcing that smile, Hikari thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's not like there's no way to solve it. I have a method that might work."

"There's a way?", Hearing this, Takahara Ren's eyes widened, her face lighting up with surprise, 'He actually still has a method?'

"W-what kind of method is it? It won't affect you, right, Hikari-kun?", she asked, both excited and worried.

Seeing her hesitation and inner conflict, Hikari smiled, "Don't worry. It definitely won't affect me."

"It's just that… for this exorcism treatment, Miss Takahara, you'll need to… well… make a bit of a sacrifice."

"This method might be a little hard for you to accept," Hikari glanced at her trembling white-stockinged legs beneath her skirt, and her lips that kept quivering from the returning cold.

"Eh? S-sacrifice? What do I have to sacrifice?", Takahara Ren looked nervous, already wondering if she'd have to give up an arm or a leg.

"Come closer. I'll tell you," Hikari beckoned.

Takahara Ren turned her face to the side and leaned her ear closer.

Hikari moved his mouth near her ear and spoke softly, "Those strange energies are now deeply hidden in your abdomen, so it's hard for my power to directly remove them."

"If I force my power through your stomach from the outside, even if I remove those few strands, you'd probably die as well."

"So the only way is to find a method to send my power into your body, and remove it gently from the inside."

"But for my pure, righteous energy to enter your abdomen gently without harming you, I'll need some kind of medium."

"So Miss Takahara, you'll need to do this… then this… and then this. Only then might it be possible to remove it."

Hikari roughly explained his plan.

After hearing it, Takahara Ren's eyes widened immediately, "Eh? R-really?"

"Will that really work?"

Her pretty face burned hot, red as if it might drip blood.

"Mm. Guiding pure positive energy into your abdomen has a high chance of solving it. At worst, it can at least temporarily suppress it," Hikari nodded firmly.

"Do… do we really have to do it this way?", she asked shyly.

"If you can't accept it, we can think of other methods," Hikari said.

"N-no! It's not that I can't accept it! If it's with you, Hikari-kun!"

"No need to trouble you further! Let's… let's just do it your way!", Takahara Ren hurriedly said.

"Alright," Hikari nodded and gently rubbed her head in reassurance.

Takahara Ren took a deep breath, her face red. Her white-stockinged toes curled slightly as she bent her knees and knelt in front of him.

Looking up at Hikari towering over her, she pressed her soft lips together tightly. Her small hands trembled as she slowly tucked the strands of hair by her mouth behind her ears.

———

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Drinking too much at once, Takahara Ren's throat felt a bit choked from the soreness, and she coughed repeatedly.

Hikari quickly pulled back and stepped away, reaching out to pat her back.

With concern in his voice, he asked, "Ren, are you okay?"

"Cough! Cough…"

After coughing a few more times, even with tears nearly coming out from the choking, Takahara Ren waved her hand, "I-I'm fine."

"Do you still feel cold?", Hikari asked, looking at her now slightly flushed face.

"Not cold anymore," Takahara Ren suddenly realized her previously hazy mind had cleared, and her body no longer felt cold.

She touched her slightly swollen lower abdomen in surprise, "Not only am I not cold, it's even warm here."

"Wait, I'll check again, just in case there are still some leftovers," As he spoke, Hikari reached out and examined her a bit.

After checking, he confirmed that the black mist hidden inside her had indeed been completely removed.

"Mm, you're fine now," He nodded.

"Thank you, Hikari-kun!", Hearing that, Takahara Ren was overjoyed.

After all, she had thought she might lose her life earlier, and now she was fine, how could she not be happy?

"It's nothing. It's what I should do," Hikari reached out and helped the kneeling Takahara Ren stand up.

"Ah," As soon as she stood, she fell straight into Hikari's arms.

"I… I knelt for too long, so my legs went numb. Sorry, Hikari-kun," She leaned against him apologetically.

"It's fine," Hikari understood.

Not only did he not mind, he even reached out to massage her legs.

Feeling the smooth texture of her white stockings, he applied a bit more pressure as he massaged.

"Th-thank you, Hikari-kun," Understanding his kindness, Takahara Ren thanked him with a flushed face.

Although it was a bit embarrassing to have him massage her legs like this, it genuinely felt good.

The previously blocked blood flow suddenly cleared, making her almost let out a soft sound.

"Alright, that should be enough. Can you walk now?", After a while, Hikari let go of her.

"Mm, I can," Takahara Ren moved her feet and found they were no longer sore or numb. She smiled happily at him.

Even though she was happy her legs recovered so quickly, leaving his arms and losing that incredibly comfortable massage made her feel a strange sense of reluctance.

"Then let's head out and leave this room," Hikari said.

"Mm!"

Answering, Takahara Ren followed him as the two walked out of the room where the key to Munakata Nakoto's chastity lock was kept.

After locking the door again, Hikari didn't leave immediately.

He turned his head, not toward the exit they came from, but toward the end of the basement corridor.

"Ren, do you know what's at the other end of this passage?", he asked.

"I don't know. I've never been over there," Takahara Ren shook her head.

Then she asked curiously, "Hikari-kun, are you still interested in something in the basement?"

Hikari nodded, "Yeah, a bit curious."

Many places in the Munakata residence were already strange, and the black mist in this basement was even thicker.

He could feel that the evil power mixed within that black mist was much denser underground than above.

And the deeper one went into the passage, the stronger that sinister aura became.

Even a key placed in that room by Munakata Nakoto's father had been contaminated.

He really wondered what exactly was hidden at the end of this corridor.

Seeing his curiosity, Takahara Ren immediately said, "If you're interested, Hikari-kun, I can stay and explore with you a bit longer…"

Screech! Screech!

Before she could finish, her words were suddenly cut off by a strange bird-like sound.

"Hikari-kun!", The sudden noise startled Takahara Ren badly. Instinctively, she hid in the arms of the person she trusted most at that moment, Hikari.

"W-what kind of monster is it this time?", She shut her eyes, pressing her face tightly against his chest, her voice trembling with fear.

Feeling her soft body pressed against him, her white-stockinged legs almost wrapping around him, something beneath Hikari's pants stirred uncontrollably.

He said a bit helplessly, "It's not a monster. It should be your phone ringing."

Hearing that, and feeling the vibration in her pocket, Takahara Ren finally snapped out of it, "Ah! Sorry! I still had my phone on me! I was so scared I completely forgot."

Realizing it, she hurriedly pulled out her phone.

After glancing at the screen, she suddenly put a finger to her lips and shushed him.

"Shh! Hikari-kun, don't make a sound. It's Madam Rurie calling!"

"Mm," Hikari nodded slightly.

Seeing him quiet down, Takahara Ren immediately answered the call.

"Hello, Madam?"

["Ren, I can't sleep very well tonight. Make me a cup of sleep tea and bring it to my room,"] Munakata Rurie instructed over the phone.

"Okay," Takahara Ren agreed at once.

["Hm? Why does it sound a bit strange on your end? It's like there's an echo,"] Munakata Rurie said, her tone turning puzzled.
