Chapter 714 - 714: Itsuki Shima's Second Baptism, New Rewards

But Itsuki Shima quickly continued, "Although I don't have time today, I can introduce you to our founder. He will definitely be able to help you with your problem."

Hearing Itsuki Shima's words, Yoshino Ayaka was obviously happy,"I-I can receive an audience with the founder? That's wonderful!"

Itsuki Shima smiled kindly, "Yoshino-san is a devoted believer of our Queen's Society. We have all witnessed your pious prayers to Queen's. When you encounter troubles, it is naturally our Queen's Society's duty to help resolve them."

"The Queen's Society is truly wonderful," Yoshino Ayaka bowed in thanks, "And thank you so much, Secretary Itsuki!"

Itsuki Shima smiled and helped Yoshino Ayaka up, "It's nothing. This is what our Queen's Society should do. Now, let's prepare for the gathering."

"Mm!", Yoshino Ayaka quickly nodded in agreement.

After getting what she wanted, Yoshino Ayaka walked over to Hikari and led him back to the assembly hall to prepare for the gathering.

Itsuki Shima, meanwhile, walked in the opposite direction, apparently still having matters to attend to.

But as they passed each other, Itsuki Shima suddenly stopped and called out to Hikari.

"Hikari-kun, wait a moment."

"Is there something you need from me, Secretary Itsuki?", Hikari looked at Itsuki Shima with a puzzled expression.

Gazing at Hikari's handsome face, then glancing at the solid physique beneath his shirt, Itsuki Shima's bewitching features curled into a meaningful smile.

"Hikari-kun, you came to attend your very first Queen's Society gathering. Your devotion to Queen's is indeed sincere. I think very highly of you."

"After the gathering ends, come find me. There's something I'd like to discuss with you privately."

"Alright, Secretary Itsuki," Hikari agreed.

Seeing Itsuki Shima's meaningful smile, Hikari knew that this meeting would probably require him to sacrifice quite a bit of his "descendants" again.

But there was no helping it, even the Buddha had to cut off flesh to feed the eagle.

Those who achieve great things cannot cling to their own safety.

To save everyone, suppress the evil deity, and liberate the Queen's Society, he'd just have to let his little brother suffer a little more and sacrifice some more of his descendants...

As Hikari had guessed, after they passed each other, Itsuki Shima looked back at Hikari's retreating figure, licked her pink lips lightly with the tip of her tongue, and a clear greed gleamed in her beautiful eyes.

This high-ranking secretary of the Queen's Society indeed had an unusual possessiveness toward Hikari.

Because the first time she met Hikari, she had noticed that his potential and stamina seemed remarkably impressive.

She had even personally taken the field, engaging in a verbal and physical sparring match with Hikari, personally conducting a round of Queen's ceremony.

And as she had observed, Hikari's potential was indeed astonishing, and his flavor equally exquisite.

Even the puppet founder Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki, whom she had handpicked, seemed far inferior to Hikari in terms of stamina.

So after tasting what Hikari had to offer last time, Itsuki Shima had been unable to forget it.

Now that she saw Hikari appear again, she naturally intended to use her position for personal gain and decided to have another taste later.

After all, wasn't that what the Queen's Society was for?

And from her perspective, this was also a reward for Hikari.

A win-win situation, why not?

She planned to train Hikari slowly, and once the puppet founder Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki became useless, she would promote Hikari to take his place.

Not only was Hikari's inner potential astonishing, his appearance was also far superior to Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki's.

With looks like his, he could absolutely charm plenty of female believers into a daze.

That would help her Queen's Society expand further.

Thinking about the multiple benefits of training Hikari, Itsuki Shima smiled smugly, swayed her hips, and turned to walk toward the Founder's Hall.

After leaving the front hall, Hikari followed Yoshino Ayaka to the assembly hall.

By now, the assembly hall was already packed with people, several dozen had gathered.

Fortunately, the hall was built quite spacious, so it could still accommodate everyone.

Under Yoshino Ayaka's guidance, Hikari followed her to a spot off to the side of the crowd and stood there.

He looked around curiously at the believers.

He noticed that among the men, there were all ages, young, middle-aged, and old.

But the women were generally younger, and their figures and looks were passable.

After observing the believers around him, Hikari raised his head and looked toward the front.

At the very front of the assembly hall was a platform about a meter high.

In front of the platform hung a curtain that dropped from the ceiling.

Through the partially open curtain, one could vaguely make out a bulky figure sitting behind it.

According to Yoshino Ayaka, that was the founder of the Queen's Society.

Whether the others didn't care or simply couldn't see clearly, they all faced the founder with respectful expressions, and no one raised any objections.

But Hikari could see very clearly that the so-called founder was none other than the middle-aged unemployed man Itsuki Shima had brought back just yesterday.

Based on what Yoshino Ayaka had said earlier, the founder seemed to be called Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki.

But Hikari didn't pay it much mind.

After all, he had already figured out the Queen's Society's biggest secret. He knew very well that Secretary Itsuki's true identity was Queen herself.

With her designation, anyone could be the so-called founder.

Still, Hikari did open his Pure Love Aura-Viewing Technique to carefully observe this middle-aged fat founder, Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki, who clearly fit the NTR archetype of the underworld.

Through his aura-viewing technique, he could see that Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki's vital energy was quite abundant.

Though it was still many times weaker than his own, compared to an ordinary person, it was indeed several times stronger.

No wonder Itsuki Shima, this evil deity, had pushed him into the founder's position. It was probably beneficial to her plans.

Before long, Itsuki Shima, dressed in a suit with a serious expression, walked in from outside.

With his sharp eyesight and keen observation, Hikari saw her hand a few sheets of paper to Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki behind the curtain.

Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki then picked up what appeared to be a prepared script and began reciting the opening remarks for the Queen's Society gathering in a monotonous, wooden tone.

Even with just a few brief formalities, the former unemployed man stumbled over his words, causing some believers to look puzzled.

But as the pre-lit Awakened Orchid incense gradually filled the room and under Itsuki Shima's guidance, the believers' expressions slowly turned fanatical and devout once again.

Led by Itsuki Shima, the Queen's believers began chanting some strange scripture together.

Then, with solemn music playing, a few believers started sharing their faith experiences.

In Hikari's view, this entire sequence of guided procedures wasn't particularly unusual.

It was probably much the same as other religious groups and organizations in Japan.

But under Itsuki Shima's guidance, Hikari noticed that, including Yoshino Ayaka beside him, many of the Queen's believers present had entered a trance-like state, their faces fervent and excited.

It was hard to say whether it was the effect of the Awakened Orchid incense or Itsuki Shima secretly using her evil deity powers.

Either way, it definitely had something to do with this evil deity.

Seeing this, Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki on the platform assumed it was because his performance was good and became smug, no longer reading his script in such a wooden tone.

He even gradually got into his role as the Queen's Society founder, delivering his lines with emotion.

But Hikari could still hear Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki stumbling every few sentences.

The believers, however, were already affected by the Awakened Orchid incense. Not only did they not notice anything wrong, but some even wept tears of devotion, their faces full of ecstasy.

After Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki finished his lines as founder, it was time for the believers' prayer session.

Every believer said the same things, how they had coincidentally encountered Queen's Society teachings, how they had been deeply drawn in, how they were saved, and what a fulfilling life they now led, and so on...

The believers listened intently from start to finish.

Hikari also pretended to look quite interested.

Just then, a hand suddenly tapped his shoulder.

Hikari turned his head and feigned surprise, lowering his voice, "Secretary Itsuki?"

"Remember what I told you before the gathering? Come with me," Itsuki Shima smiled at Hikari.

Without waiting for Hikari's response, she took his hand and pulled him out of the crowd, leading him away from the assembly hall.

Pulled out of the assembly hall and into the corridor by Itsuki Shima,

Hikari still pretended to be immersed in the gathering.

It wasn't until Itsuki Shima brought her exquisitely beautiful face close to his, their noses almost touching, that Hikari seemed to snap back to reality.

"Se-Secretary Itsuki?"

"Haha! Finally noticed me, have you?", Itsuki Shima shot him a playful glare, but there was satisfaction in her beautiful eyes, "Your devotion to Queen's is indeed sincere, Hikari-kun. I've been pulling you along for a while now, and you're only just coming back to your senses."

Hikari smiled apologetically, feigning embarrassment, "Sorry, the stories those fellow believers shared were just so moving. I accidentally got completely absorbed, I didn't even notice such a beauty as Secretary Itsuki."

"Hehe! Doesn't matter," Itsuki Shima smiled, taking Hikari's hand again while lightly stroking his palm with her slender, jade-like fingers.

"Was there something you needed from me, Secretary Itsuki?", Hikari asked, feeling the tingling sensation of her touch on his palm, like a cat's paw lightly scratching.

"Can't I look for you if there's nothing?", Itsuki Shima pouted coquettishly.

"Of course not," Hikari, as if captivated by Itsuki Shima's beauty, turned his hand over to hold her fair, delicate fingers tightly.

"Hehe! I do actually have something for you," Itsuki Shima smiled.

Then she said, "You've only joined the Queen's Society recently, and your soul still harbors impurities. So, you need to undergo a few more Queen's ceremonies."

"To cleanse the impurities from your soul, so you can devote yourself wholeheartedly to Queen."

Hearing this, Hikari immediately put on a serious expression, "What should I do, then?"

"Hehe! Just follow me."

With that, Itsuki Shima led Hikari into a small, dimly lit room.

The room was filled with curling smoke, already saturated with the scent of Awakened Orchid incense.

Seeing Hikari brazenly scanning her body with his gaze, as if already fully affected by the incense, Itsuki Shima said no more.

She directly pulled off his belt and knelt before him.

Hikari looked down at Itsuki Shima's bewitching, alluring face and feigned heavy breathing.

"Secretary Itsuki, same as last time?"

Itsuki Shima shook her head, "No. You came to your very first gathering today, I'm very happy. This time, I'm giving you a little extra reward~"

With that, she slowly unbuttoned her suit blouse.

Then she lifted her chin, puffed out her chest, and raised both palms in a supporting gesture.

Slowly lifting her gaze, she smiled up at Hikari.

Her ruby-bright eyes gleamed with an enchanting light, as if they could ignite the most primal desires in a person's heart...

———

While Hikari and Itsuki Shima were busy conducting the Queen's Society ceremony, on the other side, inside the assembly hall, Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki sat on the platform, listening to the believers' boring speeches.

He recalled how Itsuki Shima had suddenly washed her hands of everything earlier, saying she had matters to attend to and had to leave.
