Chapter 471: The Satisfied (and Broken) Nakiri Mana
"Ah... how... how is it even more comfortable than... than last time... mm..."
Mana Nakiri's alluring moans echoed through the study.
Having experienced the previous treatment, Senzaemon and the others remained calm, but Azami and Komachi were visibly uncomfortable.
Especially Azami.
After all, the one making those sounds was his wife.
As her husband, watching his wife make such delightful noises under another man's hands—while her expression showed she was enjoying it—was almost too much to bear.
If he hadn't been watching Hachiman closely and seen that he wasn't making any inappropriate moves, just keeping his hand on her shoulder, Azami would have intervened.
Seeing Senzaemon and the others' calm expressions, Azami suppressed his urge to act.
Maybe... this is just a normal part of the treatment.
Komachi was equally embarrassed.
Despite being only 14, she understood what was happening.
She knew the sounds Mana was making signified something, and the situation was awkward because of the identities involved.
One was her brother, and the other was Erina's mother, potentially Hachiman's future mother-in-law.
A son-in-law and mother-in-law...
Hmm...
It was awkward, to say the least.
But her brother wasn't doing anything weird, just placing his hand on Aunt Mana's shoulder. That should be fine, right?
Seeing the calm expressions on Senzaemon and the others' faces, Komachi began to think along the same lines as Azami.
Maybe... this is just a normal part of the treatment.
...
Meanwhile, Hachiman was fully focused on using his Holy Light.
The results were remarkable. Through his Holy Light-augmented vision, he could see the black mist at Mana's tongue root fading at a noticeable pace, which made him quite happy.
He wanted to try and see if he could completely remove the Curse of the God's Tongue this time.
With that thought, Hachiman spoke to Mana.
"Aunt Mana, please bear with me, I'm going to increase the intensity."
As he said this, he intensified the Holy Light.
Unfortunately, Hachiman overlooked one thing: while completely removing the curse was good, he also needed to consider the patient's comfort.
This upgraded Holy Light was undoubtedly more effective than last time, but it also meant the sensation would be much stronger.
Mana, overwhelmed by the heightened stimulation, couldn't help but let out even more alluring moans, her body trembling with the intensified sensation.
"Ahh... it's... it's so much more... intense... than last time..."
Hachiman realized he might have overdone it but maintained his focus, determined to see the treatment through.
The study was filled with Mana's captivating sounds, while Azami and Komachi tried their best to stay composed, trusting that this was all part of the healing process.
When Hachiman mentioned increasing the intensity, Mana initially wanted to refuse. Unfortunately, before she could voice her objection, the enhanced Holy Light surged into her.
In the next moment, an overwhelming wave of pleasure washed over every nerve in Mana's body.
"Ahh... it's so hot... so much... it's filling me... feels so good... so intense... I can't take it... ah..."
Mana's entire body became breathless, her violet eyes glazed over with tears. Her skin flushed a delicate pink, and even her body trembled slightly as if trying to endure something.
But Hachiman's treatment continued, each wave of enhanced sensation erupting deep within Mana's being.
"I can't... I really can't take it... please... spare me... ah..."
These enticing moans made even Senzaemon, who initially seemed indifferent, feel a bit awkward. After all, the one making those sounds was his own daughter.
"Ahem, Azami, let's step outside and wait for the treatment to finish."
Azami, maintaining a stoic expression, nodded in agreement. As a husband, it was naturally uncomfortable to see his wife making such sounds under another man's hands.
With Senzaemon and Azami stepping out, the only ones left in the study were Hachiman, who was using the Holy Light, and then the women.
However, listening to Mana's continuous moans, even the girls present couldn't help but blush. After all, they were just fifteen or sixteen years old, and such a situation was entirely new to them.
Among the girls, Erina's face was the reddest. For one, she was naturally a very innocent girl who could blush just from reading a romance manga.
The other reason was the identities of the two people involved. One was her crush, and the other was her mother. Hearing her crush make her mother repeatedly say things like "I can't take it" and "It feels so good" while being unable to stop it left her feeling helpless.
Next to her, Alice's face was also flushed, but she was thinking of something else. She wondered if she would react the same way as Mana if she were with Hachiman. This thought deepened the blush on her face.
…
"It's incredible… even more than before… please, spare me…"
Mana's moans continued, but Hachiman remained focused, dedicating his full attention to the curse at the root of her tongue. Despite the upgraded Holy Light having a more pronounced effect on the black aura, it still couldn't completely eradicate the deeply entrenched curse. It seemed to have taken root so deeply that no matter how hard Hachiman tried, he couldn't uproot it entirely.
Each time he attempted to dislodge the roots of the curse, Mana's moans changed in pitch and tone.
"Ah↗ ah↘ ah→ ah↘ ah↗ ah↘"
After several attempts, Hachiman sighed inwardly, abandoning the idea of completely eradicating the curse. Instead, he focused on clearing the surface layer of the black aura.
At this point, Mana's voice had become hoarse from prolonged moaning, her throat dry.
In Hachiman's vision, the black aura at the root of Mana's tongue had significantly lightened to a pale gray. Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief and gradually withdrew his Holy Light.
As he did, Mana's body shuddered and then went limp, like a broken doll. Hachiman quickly and deftly caught her before she could collapse completely.
Feeling the lingering sensation of pleasure fade away, Mana panted slightly and asked, "Is… is it over, Hachiman?"
Her voice carried a hint of sultriness and an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
"It's over. You did great, Aunt Mana," Hachiman replied with a nod. Then, he turned to Erina. "Erina, come help your mother."
Since the treatment was complete and considering Mana was his future mother-in-law, it was inappropriate for him to keep holding her.
Erina hurried over and supported her mother, anxiously asking, "How is she?"
Instead of answering directly, Hachiman walked to the door and opened it. "Old Man, Uncle, you can come in now."
Hearing this, the two men waiting outside entered the room again.
Seeing Mana resting on the sofa, Azami wanted to go and comfort her. However, as he took a step forward, he saw Erina already by her side and sighed inwardly, stopping in his tracks.
Senzaemon spoke up, "How is it, Hachiman-kun? Can Mana be fully cured?"
Hearing this, even Azami and the mother-daughter duo on the sofa looked over, hoping for a definitive answer.
Unfortunately, Hachiman shook his head. "I'm sorry, but I still can't completely cure Aunt Mana's condition at this time."
Still no cure? Senzaemon and the others felt a bit disappointed, but Hachiman continued.
"However, rest assured, I have significantly weakened the curse's effects. Based on my assessment, she should be fine for at least a year without any issues. And according to my estimate, once I further hone my Holy Light, I will be able to fully cure her."
Hachiman's voice brimmed with confidence. After all, his Holy Light had already reached level five, just one step away from being maxed out. He believed that a fully maxed Holy Light would certainly be able to eradicate this minor curse.
