Chapter 3 The tea tastes bad
The evil monster in the spider's nest was defeated, and the exorcist of the Kurohimeyama clan returned triumphantly and embarked on his journey home.

In this mission, three members of the main family and branch family were killed and one was injured;
Secondly, the three teams sent out by the ninjas as the vanguard had fourteen dead, four injured, and six alive;

Although it sounds like a big loss, but when the enemy is a ferocious demon, this loss is not too big and is completely acceptable.

Along the way, the returning personnel were in good spirits, except for the group of Genin who suffered heavy losses.

His companions all looked listless, and Baijie himself was even more depressed.

"The world is doomed."

At this moment, with a gloomy face and exhausted, he clearly realized this fact.

Bai Jie had no idea that his ferocious moves would forcibly create a completely new version that didn't even exist in the game.

Words like "female doom", "TS", and "body transformation" kept appearing in his mind.

"Every chapter and story in 'The Moon's Brightness' are connected to each other. Each chapter's plot will lead to different outcomes due to different choices..."

As the male protagonist, Yue Jialuo Yeming's responsibility is to fall in love with the heroine in order to promote the development of the plot and cause the story to develop in a different direction.

"But he's all women now, so what should I do? Can I let him do lesbian things with other heroines?"

Bai Jie was holding his head in worry when someone patted his shoulder hard.

"Genin, Master Kohagi wants to see you."

The one who spoke was a sorcerer from the Kurohimeyama clan's "Jiuyanshu". He was dressed in black robes and to outsiders, he looked like a strange man with his face covered by a black turban.

"Yes."

Baijie lowered his head.

"Hurry up and don't keep the young lady waiting too long."

The man in the robes has four eyes painted on the black scarf on his face, which reminds people of Fang Xiangshi in the exorcism ceremony.

The "Kukanshu" have a much higher status than the Genin. They are the main family's team of sorcerers. All of their members have the ability of high-level clairvoyance and even clairvoyance. The senior backbones are all elites with bloodlines from branch families.

In the family of demon exorcists, the status of ninjas is equivalent to that of consumables. Their main role in battle is to spy on the habitats of demons, run errands, deliver messages, and, when necessary, serve as shields.

There are all kinds of monsters, some of which are able to kill on first sight. Even a first-class exorcist can be killed by a moment of carelessness, or their supernatural powers and magic are too incompatible, and they encounter enemies that can restrain them.

The raison d'être of the ninjas who serve the Exorcist family is to serve as consumables at this level.

In the center of the team, there was an extremely gorgeously decorated ox cart with the family crest of the Kurohimeyama clan printed on it.

Bai Jie first boarded the ox cart, asked for permission, and only entered the carriage after getting the owner's approval.

The space inside the carriage is larger than expected, probably because some kind of "space folding" technique was used.

The air is filled with a light scent of incense that can dispel evil spirits, and the fragrance exudes quiet elegance.

The floor was woven with rush, and the originally narrow space became several times more spacious, similar to a Japanese-style room of 12 tsubo.

This Japanese-style room in the carriage is also connected to an additional independent space that also serves as a warehouse. After learning about the interior of this oxcart, Baijie couldn't help but complain, "Is this a traceless extension spell? Is it Harry Potter's movable magic tent?"

He was half-kneeling on the tatami, with a coffee table made of precious wood in front of him, on which stood a small incense burner. In the corner stood a gold-lacquered folding screen inlaid with mother-of-pearl, which looked like a valuable antique.

"Oh, it's you..."

The eldest princess of the Kurohimeyama family, Kurohimeyama Kohagi, also took off her revealing sleeveless, light-colored kimono and changed into a white kimono. Her silvery white hair was tied into a bun with a red hairpin.

"By the way, Genin, even though I've run into you a few times before, I still don't know your name."

"I am truly humbled... I have no name."

Bai Jie lowered his head and said, "Young lady, you can call me 'Bai Jie'."

While he was talking with his head down, he secretly glanced to the other side. The male protagonist Yue Jialuo Yeming was now lying on the tatami like a mummy. His entire body, in the form of a female body, was wrapped in bandages covered with runes.

There were two female sorcerers wearing black scarves nearby, performing healing spells on the young lady's fiancé.

"correct."

Xiao Hagi nodded.

"I had completely forgotten about this part... Well, you look quite tired. Would you like some tea?"

The eldest daughter of the family seemed to have not noticed what was happening behind her at all, giving the impression that her fiancé's life or death had nothing to do with her.

“No, this…”

Baijie is still more concerned about the situation of the male protagonist, and he doesn't know whether Yue Jialuo Yeming can be saved in this way.

"It's not surprising that she's indifferent to her fiancé. It was originally a political marriage. At that point in time, she hadn't even established that kind of deep relationship with Yue Jialuo Yeming..."

She has the personality of an icy beauty and looks down on most men.

Because the protagonist, a good man, has a timid personality that makes people feel timid, the princess looked at him with contempt at the beginning of the game. She didn't think much of him.

"Please raise your head and speak, Baijie."

She casually brewed a cup of tea, and the next moment, the cup seemed to be lifted up by an invisible presence. The cup also floated in the air and was brought to him as if it were on a plate.

This should be a driven Shikigami or something, Baijie could only bite the bullet and take the teacup.

But he didn't know whether he should take off the mask and drink the tea.

A mere Genin took off his mask in front of a prominent figure in the main clan. In the strict hierarchy of the Kurohimeyama clan, this was considered a serious disrespect. In serious cases, he might even be forced to commit seppuku.

Baijie had witnessed many examples and had reached the point where he was extremely cautious and careful in his words and actions in front of important figures in his family.

"Hey...you don't want to drink it? Honestly, this tea is quite expensive~"

She opened an ivory folding fan at hand with a snap, covered her mouth with the fan, and said this half-jokingly.

"It would be a shame to just throw it away."

Miss, now that you’ve said that, what else can we do?
Baijie could only say "Excuse me", half took off the fox mask, revealing half of his face, and then drank all the hot tea in one breath.

So hot.

However, he had no choice but to swallow the tea in one gulp, say a compliment, "The tea is very good," and quickly put on the mask.

I don't know if it's my imagination.

Baijie felt that the moment he put on the mask again, the eldest princess of the Kurohimeyama family frowned slightly in displeasure.

"Forget it... Let's talk business first."

She sighed quietly.

"First of all, I'm very grateful to you for saving my fiancé. If it weren't for you, he might have lost his life."

"You are too polite. This is what I should do."

"Do not."

The eldest daughter of the family interrupted him.

"Your abilities are meager, yet you remain so devoted and dedicated in that environment. This is commendable... However, that's not what I'm looking for you for."

The corners of her mouth were crooked, and it was unclear whether it was a bitter smile or sarcasm.

"You've also seen Lord Ye Ming's situation." Xiao Hagi quickly put on a serious face.

"Something unusual has happened to him. It could be a curse, or it could be the result of some other force... I don't know the exact reason. After all, I'm not a pharmacist skilled in healing, and I don't know how to restore him to normal. So, please keep your mouth shut about Master Yue Jialuo and don't leak anything."

"I know this."

"Also, don't tell anyone what happened that day."

Kurohimeyama Kohagi said in a deep voice, "I will cover up for you the matter of Lord Ye Ming falling into the Dragon Vein Pond. I believe you are also aware of the style of our family. If you are held responsible for this matter, I am afraid you will not be able to escape severe punishment."

She explained, "I can't let my fiancé's benefactor be punished. I will remove you from this matter. Fortunately, no one knows what happened except the three of us."

"Thank you very much for your generosity."

Baijie lowered his head, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

That’s right, he almost forgot about it. If outsiders knew that he pushed the male protagonist into the dragon vein pool, it would also be a "serious crime."

"There's no need for that. I've already said... you're the benefactor of Lord Ye Ming and me."

Kurohimeyama Kohagi put away her fan and smiled.

"I will do my best to help you, but you have to keep your mouth shut."

"I shall obey your orders."

Baijie nodded.

"……That's good."

She sighed: "You go back first."

Bai Jie bowed his head and saluted, then stepped out of the ox cart.

As soon as he stepped out, a sigh was heard from the carriage.

"……Pity."

Kurohimeyama Kohagi frowned, muttered to himself, and murmured softly.

"By the way, you two, please step aside for now... Maintaining the healing ritual all the time is going to be difficult for you, so I'll take over from now on."

"But?"

The two female warlocks were sweating profusely and sounded somewhat doubtful.

"Miss... you probably can't use it—"

Both of them looked a little confused.

"Oh...that's right, I can't actually use any other techniques."

Kurohimeyama Kohagi chuckled, her bright red and crooked lips looked like she was smiling, but it was more like a sneer.

"excuse me."

The black sorceress was startled by her sneer.

"Please forgive me~~I made a slip of the tongue. I'm so sorry."

"Not really... I can't use any spells or abilities other than the Power of Time Chant. That's also true."

Kurohimeyama Kohagi opened the fan again to hide her expression.

"However, my power can also temporarily 'freeze' a person's condition. While it won't heal them, it can maintain stability for a certain period of time. I can't let you keep expending your spiritual energy on healing techniques... I will use the Time Chant barrier to stabilize Lord Ye Ming's condition. You should go and rest first."

Her gentle smile returned and she closed the fan with a snap.

"We...understand."

The two black-clad sorceresses exchanged a glance, but faced with Kurohimeyama Kohagi's order, they did not dare to question it. They could only salute respectfully and then leave through the shoji door printed with "Matsu and Kara Lion". Before leaving, they did not forget to kneel down and salute.

Click.

When the shoji door was closed, the face of the eldest daughter of the main family seemed to crack. The gentle smile disappeared, and her lips became crooked. She looked at the two female sorcerers who were leaving, and cast a look of hatred and murderous intent.

Kurohimeyama Kohagi's expression was like that of a female ghost, and the angry ghost fire in her eyes seemed to be about to erupt.

'wrong. '

She shook her head, frowned and began to mumble something.

"...There's no point in getting angry with two servants."

A servant is a servant.

These two female sorcerers were merely lower-ranking exorcists of the Kurohimeyama clan, figures who were not worthy of being on the stage.

She thought that the real source of her hatred was the clan connected to her by blood, the source of all this, the root of all this pain, that is, the Kurohime Yamamoto family.

Calm down, you can't reveal your intentions now.

The girl touched her face, hoping to relax her stiff expression.

Until she accumulates enough strength, she cannot reveal her true intentions to anyone.

"Besides, I can't let him see such an ugly expression..."

She smiled from the bottom of her heart.

Unfortunately, we still haven’t seen “his” complete face when he takes off the mask.

Although it is possible to force an order, it would lose its meaning.

Moreover, being in that position, his words and actions would also cause him trouble.

"'Hyakusuke'?... I still prefer your original name."

There was a small teacup in Kurohimeyama Kohagi's hand.

This was just ordinary pottery. The cup, drained of tea, was still warm, with only a few tea leaves remaining.

She touched it lightly with her fingers and rubbed it slowly with her palm, as if she could feel the other person's body temperature, touch the other person's skin, and feel that person's breath.

"It's not time yet... it's not time yet."

She knew very well that the time was not ripe yet and it was not the right time. Even if she told "him" everything, it would only increase his pain.

"...Please wait a little longer. I will save you no matter how long it takes."

Her eyes lit up with excitement, as if illuminated by some kind of demonic energy, but the luster of her pupils was cloudy and dark.

——Yes, this is something only I can do.

Only my hands can embrace you and save you.

...saving you from ruin time and time again.

The eldest daughter of the family covered her face with a fan. She hid the teacup in her sleeve while indulging in her lust, with the corners of her mouth twisted coquettishly.

——Finally, she licked her lips seductively with her bright red tongue, and licked the edge of the cup with the tip of her tongue, as if she wanted to capture even the slightest bit of residual warmth.
