Chapter 716 - 716: Yoshino Ayaka's Special CG; The Wall-Gazer Itsuki Shima

"R-Remove my clothes?"

Yoshino Ayaka flinched back half a step as if burned.

Her pretty face flushed crimson in an instant, equal parts embarrassed and flustered.

Yoshino Ayaka had a vague sense that something was off.

She instinctively shrank back, her eyes full of resistance.

"Wh-What does this have to do with purifying the soul? Why do I have to take off my clothes?"

"What do you know!", In the face of Yoshino Ayaka's doubt, Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki frowned, his tone suddenly sharp.

He urged impatiently, "Filthy aura clings to clothing and blocks the purifying power from seeping into the soul. Hurry up and take your clothes off."

"If you delay any longer, the filth will sink deeper into your body, even the Queen won't be able to save you!"

With Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki's status as founder and his constant invocation of the Queen's authority, Yoshino Ayaka's heart was instantly seized by fear.

Moreover, the faint, sweet scent of awakening orchid incense lingered at the tip of her nose.

That fragrance made her head feel heavy.

Yoshino Ayaka instinctively wanted to obey Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki's words.

But just as her fingertips touched her buttons, Hikari's handsome, reliable face suddenly flashed through her mind.

On the way to the Queen Society, Hikari had repeatedly told her to keep her wits about her if she encountered anything suspicious.

She hadn't taken it to heart much at the time, but right now, those few sentences surfaced in her mind like a dormant thought-brand.

Her muddled thoughts suddenly cleared a little.

Yoshino Ayaka stopped abruptly, a hint of alertness returning to her beautiful eyes.

"No... the filth in the soul has nothing to do with the clothes on my body, does it? You're not lying to me, are you?"

"I am the founder! You won't even believe the founder's words, and you still claim to have faith in the Queen?", Seeing her growing suspicious, Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki dropped all pretense.

The solemnity on his face vanished in an instant, replaced by a hideous expression.

With such a gorgeous, dignified, mature beauty right before him, Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki could no longer contain his restlessness.

He had no patience for further delay. His steps did not stop as he closed in on Yoshino Ayaka, his tone sinister as he scolded, "It seems the filth has completely clouded your mind, you even dare to question the founder's words!"

"Since you won't take them off yourself, then I, the master, will personally help you undress! Helping a lost believer is, after all, the founder's duty!"

"N-No... don't!", Yoshino Ayaka, seeing Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki's twisted expression, felt a chill race up her spine, her unease growing by the second.

Trembling in fear, she stumbled backward, her steps unsteady.

Seeing his sweet prey about to bolt just when it was within reach, how could Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki tolerate that?

Greed flashed in his eyes. His steps quickened as he pressed forward relentlessly.

Yoshino Ayaka turned to flee.

But somehow, her body had gone unusually limp.

Her limbs felt as heavy as lead, and her legs had no strength at all.

All Yoshino Ayaka could do was stagger backward, her eyes filled with despair.

Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki's footsteps grew closer.

Shadow by shadow, they enveloped Yoshino Ayaka.

She shook her head frantically, her throat squeezing out broken pleas, "No... please... don't come any closer..."

"Don't worry. Once the filth in your soul is purified, you'll soon feel very good," Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki licked his lips, his tone dripping with lecherous anticipation.

His steps did not falter.

With nowhere left to retreat, Yoshino Ayaka's back suddenly bumped into something warm.

It was the incense burner burning the awakening orchid incense.

The thick, sweet fragrance surged forth in an instant, rushing through her nose and into her lungs.

That scent completely numbed her already heavy head.

Yoshino Ayaka's body grew weaker still, barely able to stand.

Her thoughts, too, seemed wrapped in thick fog, unable to turn at all.

Yoshino Ayaka's gaze gradually turned vacant.

Her earlier resistance and pleas vanished.

Only instinctive, unconscious murmurs remained, "No... purify... no... expel..."

Seeing Yoshino Ayaka completely dazed by the awakening orchid incense, her eyes vacant and utterly defenseless, Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki was over the moon.

He could hardly wait to savor this exquisite, ripe, voluptuous body.

A lecherous grin spread across his face. He rubbed his hands together and, with light but hurried steps, prepared to pounce.

But just then, a figure suddenly darted in from outside the room, rushing into the Founder Hall.

In his excited state, Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki noticed nothing until that figure stepped between him and Yoshino Ayaka.

A handsome young man stood before him, fully blocking Yoshino Ayaka's plump, curvaceous figure from sight.

Once he made out who it was, Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki flew into a rage, "You brat... weren't you off fooling around with that bitch Itsuki? Why are you suddenly barging into my founder Hall?"

"Sorry, I actually had plans with Miss Ayaka to head back together after the gathering, so I came to find her," Hikari explained politely with a smile.

"She's not available! I'm in the middle of a Queen ritual with her! As founder, I command you, get the hell out of the founder Hall! Do you understand?", To Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki, on the verge of indulgence yet interrupted, Hikari's words were like forced chastity, his anger blazed.

"Lord founder, I don't think Miss Ayaka seems keen on having that Queen ritual with you," Hikari turned his head and saw Yoshino Ayaka's eyes already hazy, her mind clouded by the awakening orchid incense.

Yet on that gorgeous face, a trace of panic remained, and her lips still murmured faintly, 'No, no!'

Hearing this, Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki grew even more furious, "What does a brat like you know! Think you're special just because Itsuki Shima took a liking to you? You're just an ordinary believer, get out now!"

"For Itsuki Shima's sake, don't make me teach you a lesson myself!"

"You'r going to regret this," Watching the menacing Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki approach, Hikari remained unmoved.

"I am the founder! Get lost now!", Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki could no longer hold back. He rolled up his cumbersome robe sleeves, intending to personally give this ungrateful brat a thorough beating.

Then he would properly enjoy Yoshino Ayaka's ripe, aristocratic body.

But the next second, a fist smashed into his face.

Sharp pain shot from his nasal bridge, spreading instantly through his entire skull.

Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki's bulky frame crashed to the ground, blood streaming from his mouth and nose, and he passed out cold.

Hikari was about to wake him up and give this NTR bastard a real lesson.

But the next moment, his gaze sharpened as he looked toward the corridor outside the founder Hall.

'Itsuki Shima is here.'

Hikari, through his aura-watching technique, had long known that Yoshino Ayaka might fall victim to an NTR plot at the Queen Society today.

So he had been monitoring her safety through his pure love radar and pure love origami cranes.

Even after being abducted midway by the evil god Itsuki Shima, forced to give everything he had, carving flesh to feed her, he still kept an eye on Yoshino Ayaka's situation.

And when he sensed Yoshino Ayaka was in danger, he deliberately fumbled clumsily, making a mess everywhere.

Itsuki Shima was thus forced to carefully brush her teeth, rinse her mouth, and change her robes.

Taking that chance, Hikari slipped away to rescue Yoshino Ayaka.

But now Itsuki Shima had reappeared in a flash.

'Well, that's an evil god for you.'

Because of Itsuki Shima's unexpected appearance, Hikari had to revise his original plan.

He had no time to deal with the unconscious founder Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki on the floor.

Hikari strode quickly toward Yoshino Ayaka, scooped up the dazed beauty, and carried her out of the founder Hall.

Cradling Yoshino Ayaka's soft, tender body, so soft that even a finger's touch sank into it, Hikari walked dozens of meters along the Queen Society's corridor.

But the evil god's presence behind him clung on, following closely without pause.

Seeing this, Hikari was one hundred percent certain that Itsuki Shima had him in her sights.

To avoid arousing the evil god's suspicion, Hikari raised his hand and pushed open the door to a closed bedroom on the right side of the corridor, then carried Yoshino Ayaka inside.

After closing the door behind him, Hikari laid Yoshino Ayaka down on the bedroom's tatami.

But the moment he set her down, Yoshino Ayaka suddenly sat up, threw her arms around him, and hugged him tightly from behind.

Hikari turned his head and met Yoshino Ayaka's hazy, moist, red-tinged eyes. She was staring at him dazedly, her pupils brimming with an intense longing.

"Hikari-kun... Hikari-kun..."

"My soul is tainted with filth... it will bring misfortune..."

"Expel it... I must perform the Queen ritual... to expel the filth..."

"Hikari-kun... can you help me?"

"I trust you... I know you can do it..."

"Please... help me..."

"Help me remove the filth from my soul... please..."

Yoshino Ayaka tugged at her robe's ties, her eyes glazed as she babbled a jumble of words at Hikari.

Though it was likely the awakening orchid incense talking, a beautiful, mature aristocrat pleading so softly and sweetly would still make anyone's blood rush.

But Hikari did not respond to her. Instead, his eyes locked onto the mirror hanging on the left wall of the room.

Upon entering this bedroom, Hikari had noticed that the space felt oddly strange.

Not only was the layout uneven, some areas spacious, some oddly cramped, but a large mirror also hung on the wall.

With his keen observation, Hikari took a few glances and realized that behind this mirror definitely was a hidden room.

This mirror was probably a one-way mirror.

From that small adjacent room, everything in this room would be clearly visible.

In a lewd religious group like the Queen Society, the purpose of such a room seemed self-evident.

But that wasn't the main point.

The main point was: Shortly after Hikari brought Yoshino Ayaka into this room, he heard the faintest footsteps enter the small room behind the mirror.

Sensing that overwhelmingly intense, evil presence, without a doubt, the person now in the room right next to them was none other than the evil god Itsuki Shima herself.

Itsuki Shima was now closely observing what he would do after knocking out Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki and taking Yoshino Ayaka away.

Hikari knew that Yoshino Ayaka had inhaled a large amount of awakening orchid incense.

That was unavoidable, the incense was nearly everywhere in the Queen Society's training hall, just in varying concentrations.

And his original plan had been, after rescuing Yoshino Ayaka from the puppet founder Mitsuishi Mitsuyuki, to simply help her sober up through ordinary means, like splashing her with cold water a few times.
