ALL NOVEL Prologue: Meeting the Whimsical Shrine Maiden Goddess (part 3)
—Itsuki’s Perspective
“Umm….did I pass out or something?”
“Yes. You passed out after seeing that Itsuki-kun.”
“See what? And weren’t we in an Onsen a second ago? Did we come here?”
When I turned to look at the way the shrine maiden(?) pointed her finger, I instantly dropped to my knees.
“Wh-what the….why did my legs give out…..Sayu…what’s happening? I-I want to…”
“Hehh~ It looks like Itsuki-kun forgot what he saw. But we can’t have that, can we Sayuri-chan?”
“............”
“Alrighty! I’ll forcibly awaken his memories from his unconsciousness.”
“Memories? What’s going on? Why is Sayu here? Did you di….kill yourself Sayu?”
“Mhm…Sayuri can’t live without Nii-tan so Sayuri killed herself.”
“Itsuki-kun, you continue playing catch up later. Face me.”
“Yes.”
Strangely, I agreed and obediently followed her command-like words.
I stood up, and turned to face the shrine maiden(?) and noticed something off about her.
“Wh-why are you wearing my shirt? Well it’s Sayu’s, but still, why?”
“I’m borrowing it,” she said, pinching the corners of the t-shirt and lifting it, which barely exposed her porcelain skin. I could somewhat see her cute belly button through the whiteness of it.
Although, I looked away after a few moments as she freed the ends.
Her straightforward reply left me confused and in thought.
She gently pressed the tip of her index finger against my forehead. Although I could not feel the sensation of her finger actually touching my skin. It felt like it was there and not there at the same time.
“Aaaaand done. You’ll get a few light headaches so I recommend hugging me or Sayuri-chan!”
“Do I need to hug? Could I not just sit down?”
“Nope. You should learn to take advantage of your position, Itsuki-kun. It will definitely come in handy in the another world. So~ will you choose my soft and fluffy body, or Sayuri-chan’s soft and pillowy body? Well, we’re both the same type of beauties so it might be hard to choose. If it were me, I would probably try out both of them and then properly decide, like cop a feel or two you know. Oh! Or if you have a thing for boo—”
“That’s not the point!! And if I must, I’ll hug Sayuri! Got it?!”
“Fufu,” Sayuri quietly smirked as I argued with the shrine maiden(?).
“Ehhh……come on, you have a one-in-a-infinite chance of legally copping a feel of a goddess’s body, and you’re turning it down…..How humiliating!! I should just throw you two in hell or something!! Absolutely!! Hmph!!”
The (not confirmed) goddess pouted and turned away in a child-like manner.
“Did you just say ‘goddess’?”
“Yes. So what? You don’t care about this poor me do you? Even though I took the trouble to bring you here and warmly welcomed you with an Onsen, and some chit-chat. On top of that, I took on a calming and familiar appearance so that you don’t freak out like crazy! You should be grateful, humph!”
What’s up with this (now confirmed) goddess? She changes her character trope like a kaleidoscope of emotions. Please pick a trope and stick to it. Also if this is not your real form it doesn’t count as hugging a goddess.
I imagined myself pretending to pray to this goddess if I ever followed her religion.
“Excuse me, Miko-sama. Sayuri is feeling very unpleasant right now. Do you know why?”
Sayu interrupted the goddess’ flimsy tantrum with a completely unrelated question.
“Oh!” She quickly turned around and faced us again. She was mischievously grinning, her eyes eerily focused on my sister.
“That’s because I’ve sealed off most of your love for your brother. It’s the reason you’re able to have a proper conversation right now and not on my neck. Although, It does sound amusing to have a conversation with Itsuki-kun while putting you in your place, however, I do not prefer it.”
“Seems to be. Sayuri is having occasional thoughts of straggling you but the desire is not urgent. Though Sayuri does find your action strangely thankful.”
N-no way! My Sayu would definitely not try to strangle someone. She’s not that type of girl…..But then, what I saw before passing out….what I saw?......a bloody girl….
“Aaahhh….my he-head hurts….you can’t call these light headaches…….”
I whimpered as I fell to my knees again. Oww….now my knees hurt too.
My brain hurt. It felt like something was gouging up from deep inside my brain. Memories were flooding my senses.
“Nii-tan, gyuuuu…..”
“Itsuki-kun, gyuuuuu…..”
I felt warm, comforting sensations from both sides. Their soft, feminine bodies were firmly pressed against me, overwhelming the pain of headaches.
“There you go Itsuki-kun, you’re living your youth right now. It feels divine to have two super beautiful beauties tightly hugging you from both sides, right?”
“I guess. I can say it does help relieve the pain though.”
“Tch. You’re no fun itsuki-kun. You’re a boy in your teens, in the prime of your youth! You should be all flustered and blushing right now. Or~ hehehe, you should be groping our bodies, and enjoying them to the fullest using the excuse of pain. Come on, show me what you got Itsuki-kun!”
“Hmm. But I don’t want to. I don’t relatively feel embarrassed or pleasure. Though I do feel good about being hugged by Sayu. A little happy too.”
“Muhhhh~ Sayuri-chan is no fun! This is so unfair! So humiliating! Why did you mess him up so badly, Sayuri-chan! I was hoping to tease Itsuki-kun so much!”
“Watch your words! Sayu didn’t mess me up!”
“Your feelings do not matter. You aren’t involved with our family in any matter and so you should stay out of it. Nii-tan is Sayuri’s. Thus it is only right that he has feelings for Sayuri, and not others. Even if Sayuri had to mess him up to do it.”
“No one messed me up! I’m a virgin!”
“My my, Itsuki-kun….”
“Sayuri knows, Nii-tan.”
Ugh! Why did I have to go dig my grave……And it doesn’t help that my little sister knows that I am a virgin……
How did it come to this….
“Itsuki-kun, does that mean you want to loo-”
“No! Stop making this about my virginity!”
“Yes. Nii-tan’s virginity is Sayuri’s.”
“Please…..stop…”
The goddess mischievously giggled like she successfully pulled-off a prank.
