Chapter 3: Mind Break
PART 1
[Sui! Hang in there, Sui!]
Even though Sui was still conscious, she didn’t respond to Mikoto’s words. Her whole body felt so hot as though it was burning, and her cheeks were flushed deep crimson as well. Beads of sweat were dripping down her forehead and neck, and hot heavy breaths were gradually escaping from inside of her mouth. Her chest was also moving up and down in a heavy rhythm.
All three girls were currently back at their room in the inn “Oiso”.
[There are youmas inside of her body.]
As Takeru finished examining Sui, her eyebrows risen up in surprise. She was wearing her usual uniform, but right underneath it she was still wearing her daring swimsuit. Same thing goes for Mikoto, as she was holding Sui’s hand there were droplets of sea water dripping from her long ponytail.
After Mikoto and Takeru manager to rescue Sui from being attacked by the youmas, she lost consciousness for a while and they carried her back to the inn.
[The damage…… So far there is none, but the youmas coursing through her system is not something we can ignore or leave alone.] [So, so Sui is…… She’s……!?]
Mikoto suddenly got up, tears welling up in her eyes. She was feeling responsible for letting Sui go to the toilet all of her own. The fact that an apprentice got attacked by the youmas while she was playing around in the sea was breaking her heart in half.
[It’s okay, calm down. We can still help her if we only acquire the right tools.]
Said Takeru with a faint smile, to calm Mikoto down. She knew that Mikoto was feeling responsible, but beating yourself over that fact wouldn’t accomplish anything. Besides, it was an accident, not anybody’s fault.
[First, we shall wait until the youma inside of Sui falls asleep.]
Said Takeru with a voice full of confidence while making all necessary preparations. She poured some water from a jug into a bowl and dipped a small talisman in that water. She also asked Mikoto to fetch her some chopsticks while she began to prepare some complex ofudas.
[This should erect a barrier around this room and ease Sui’s suffering, even if for a little bit.] [That’s right. We could technically use your Lightning “ki” to get rid of the youmas on the spot, but in Sui’s current condition I would have serious concerns regarding her health. So instead we are going to weaken the youmas first. If we manage to cut the off from their energy supply, they should become easier to deal with……]
Hearing Takeru’s words, a sudden “Aaah!” got out of Sui’s mouth. Her hands sprung up form under the futon and reached out to her breasts, beginning to grope and fondle them like mad.
[Mikoto, hold her down for me!]
Takeru shouts, taking the water with the spell infused into it and forcefully pours it down Sui’s throat. Sui’s shoulders tremble as her whole body begins to be covered in beads of sweat.
[No, Noooooo…… Nngh!? Nnh!? Gah, ngaaah……!?]
Sui’s bright red lips trembled around the bottle’s neck as she continued to gulp down its contents until there was nothing left.
[Puah, fuaah!]
When Takeru withdrew the bottle, Sui’s seizures slowly began to stop. The medicine managed to suppress Sui’s lust and resentment, weakening the youmas’ influence over her. Free for, that burden, Sui falls into a deep and sound slumber.
But she was not healed. It was only a temporary measure. In time, her lust and negative emotions would accumulate again, stirred by the youmas and she would have another attack like that.
[…… Maybe we should contact the Headquarters and consult them about Sui’s condition?]
