Pure love ✕ Insult Complex

is is just one of the perspectives we have to consider.

It’s possible that we’re wrong.

「 Well yeah.
You can have your response to Kudou-san by 1 pm as you told him earlier.
Kouzuki SS should be able to deal with it in time.
」

Yeah.

「 Thanks, Ya-chan, I managed to sort things out in my head now.
」

I thanked Nei.

「 Yo-chan, if you ever thought that there’s something’s strange, then don’t leave that alone.
You need to find the source of it 」

「 You’re right 」

「 But, once you found out the cause of your anxiety, don’t just believe that it’s the only answer.
It might be wrong 」

Huh?

「 Things don’t happen from just one factor.
A phenomenon occurs when multiple elements are combined.
But, for those who want to fix their worries in an instant then they’ll see one of the factors and say “Oh, so that’s the cause,” and convincing themselves that they now understood all of it 」

That does happen.

「 Naturally, when you feel that something’s weird, then you have to be vocal about it on why.
If not, you won’t even have a clue to understanding.
But as soon as you put it into words, there will be some intuition falling out for sure.
For example, if you try to call out which part is lacking specifically, then you might say that you’re feeling hungry.
Even though you’re lonely.
You don’t want to admit that you’re lonely, so you speak out something else.
Yet, once you say that you’re hungry, you’ll go to a shop and eat 」

The words that come out might be misaligned.

「 But, you can’t hold it in either.
Else, you can’t make logical thoughts 」

Yeah.
The cause of the sense of discomfort can’t be dealt with unless you explain it accurately and logically.

But, once you change what you sense to words, then you might overlook some other things.

Therefore, one must always be suspicious of their own words.

「 Okay, Yo-chan.
Ready to meet Tsukiko-san now? 」

Nei is really my big sister.

She worries about me as one.

She guides me.

「 Yeah, I’m okay now.
」

「 Nice, good luck.
I’ll be supporting you always 」

Nei grasps my hand.

「 Yeah, I’m going, Onee-chan 」

I tell Nei.

Then, I enter the room where Tsukiko’s waiting for me.

◇　◇　◇

「 Welcome, come in 」

Tsukiko’s waiting for me inside the room.

She sits on the floor with her three fingers and head bowing to me.

She’s wearing a see-through negligee.

Her pink nipples and pale looking genitals can be seen through the fabric.

「 I’ve been worried since Kou-sama’s taking his time to come here 」

Tsukiko said and smiled at me.

She shows concern.

As expected, she really did open up her heart to me.

「 Uhm, I’m planned to become a prostitute, aren’t I? And so, I thought of becoming Kou-sama’s prostitute when we’re alone 」

So that’s why she’s wearing a negligee and bowing with her three fingers on each hand pressed on the floor?

「 Do you not like Tsukiko in this outfit? 」

…I

「 No, not at all.
You’re beautiful 」

You can see the lines of her body when wearing just one thin piece.

Tsukiko’s slender and beautifully proportioned body shows out.

「 Thank you.
Uhm 」

「 What? 」

「 Please play with me all you want 」

Tsukiko says bashfully.

「 Last night, I received some advice from Katsuko-oneesama.
She told me that I’ve focused on being the eldest sister too much that I’ve lost sight of myself.
Therefore, I want to expose myself to Kou-sama in a place where Yomiko and Luna aren’t present 」

A place where Tsukiko doesn’t have to support her sisters.

「 Yeah, you’re right.
We’re alone right now, Tsukiko 」

Either way, Minaho-neesan should be watching.

Even so.

「 Err, but, I’d like to have a bit of talk before we have sex 」

I decided to start a conversation first.

Tsukiko’s reading my mind anyway.

I can’t hide it, and it would harm her trust in me if I try to gloss it over.

「 Yes, what about it? 」

Tsukiko smiles at me.

「 No, I can’t have a conversation if Tsukiko’s sitting on the floor.
Let’s go to bed 」

「 Okay 」

「 We sit on the bed 」

Yeah, this is somewhat…

「 Err, sorry 」

I pin down Tsukiko.

I also lie down together with her.

Then, we look at each other’s face.

「 Yeah, this is better 」

Tsukiko’s beautiful face is right in front of me.

We”re at a distance where our noses would rub together.

「 Is this too close? 」

「 No.
I can see Kou-sama’s beautiful eyes 」

Tsukiko’e eyes reflect my face.

I don’t think that my eyes are beautiful though.

「 That’s not true.
Kou-sama looks cool 」

Tsukiko reads my mind again.

「 Do you feel any unease? 」

…I

「 Yeah.
I’ve got a lot of things to think about 」

「 Please wait.
If that’s the case, then I’ll read it directly from Kou-sama’s mind 」

Tsukiko places her hand on my cheek.

It seems like it’s easier for her to read my mind if our skins touch.

But.

「 Give me a second 」

I stopped Tsukiko.

「 Do you not want me to read your mind? 」

Tsukiko speaks apologetically.

「 No.
I don’t mind it.
I’m okay letting Tsukiko see through my heart.
I don’t hide anything, But 」

…I

「 I need it for myself.
I have to put it into words.
I want to explain it to Tsukiko through words so I could sort out the problems once more 」

I can’t organize my thoughts if you just read my mind.

「 I want to organize my thoughts and talk about it, or else I might overlook something or make a mistake.
That’s why 」

Reading my mind using Miko power is only one-way traffic.

There’s no communication established.

「 Naturally, I think that I might miss out something to say, but Tsukiko can read my mind.
I believe that Miko power can understand people’s anxiety and unease.
But, I want you to listen to me put into words the concrete details 」

If not, our mutual understanding would be off-point.

Tsukiko can understand me on the mind level, but I can only understand her on a conversation level.

That off-point will break our trust if left alone.

「 The power to read minds is mighty, but I don’t think that it’s useful for communication 」

If two people can read each other’s mind then they can establish a connection, but,

No, even if you can read the other party’s mind, you still need to make an effort to understand other people’s thoughts and intentions.

The other party is a person different than oneself, after all.

「 Understood.
Kou-sama 」

Tsukiko agrees.

「 Then, I’ll start the talk 」

I begin to speak.

First, the problem of perspective, as Kudou-papa pointed out.

We’ve been stuck with our perspective, and we may have overlooked something.

Minaho-neesan’s advice.

Tsuki and Yomi Miko power might have their names and use reversed.

Then, my conversation with Nei.

Our suspicion on Kiyomi-san.

Maybe, Kiyomi-san has distorted the information Tsukiko, and the girls know about the Takakura shrine maiden?

And so, the names of the two powers were reversed?

「 Names are usually based on the essence of what it is 」

I said.

「 And so, Minaho-neesan thought that reading(Yomu) one’s mind has to be called “Yomi power,” that’s what she pointed out 」

「 It really is.
I’ve never had doubts about it before 」

Tsukiko replies showing a serious look on her face.

「 Well, that’s natural.
You’ve been taught that the power to make people obey has always been Yomi power 」

The common sense taught from the start can’t be reversed that easily.

That’s because one thinks, “That’s how it is.”

「 Indeed Kiyomi-sama was the one who taught us a lot about our power 」

Tsukiko said.

「 But, if that were true and the names of it were reversed, why would Kiyomi-san want to do that? 」

That’s.

「 I don’t know the reason why would she tell us lies 」

I don’t know either.

「 But for now, we have to think about dealing with Kiyomi-san.
I might be overthinking to say that Kiyomi-san might be the mastermind of all this, but still 」

「 You’re right.
It’s also possible that Satake uses Kiyomi-san as a trump card 」

Yeah, during the deal by 3pm.

It’s possible that Kiyomi-san who has a strong power to make people obey, to show up.

「 Does the Miko power to make people obey work on shrine maidens as well? 」

I asked.

「 I don’t know.
It’s only Yomiko who used the power to make one obey until now among us sisters 」

So the power to make people obey hasn’t been tested thoroughly yet.

「 There’s never been attempts among Kiyomi-san or Yomiko 」

Tsukiko replied.

「 Well then, how about two shrine maidens giving each other an order that contradicts? For example, Yomiko saying “Sit down” and Kiyomi-san orders “Stand up.” What happens if you make that order? 」

Is it as one expects where the stronger one persists?

Or maybe, both repel each other, and the orders are canceled.

「 I don’t know either 」

Not knowing is a problem.

We might have to confront Kiyomi-san during the deal by 3pm.

「 The scariest part is when a shrine maiden with strong power can make other shrine maidens follow her 」

If that’s the case, then the Takakura sisters might be under Kiyomi-san’s control.

「 Then we have to awaken Luna’s power to make people obey too 」

We need someone other than Yomiko with the power to make one obey to try it out.

「 Oh right, Yomiko’s able to read my mind a bit too 」

I talk about Yomiko’s situation.

「 Is that so? Then 」

Tsukiko smiles.

「 I have to do my best too! 」
