While Shuten-dōji remained silent, Felix decisively lifted her blanket, revealing her perfectly intact, fair, and delicate body, which startled Ibaraki-dōji, who was immersed in her own world.
"Wait, Ibaraki is still here, Daddy... I, I don't want to..."
Then she realized who she was addressing.
Finished!
My life was completely ruined!
Ibaraki-dōji, completely baffled as to what they were doing, had a face full of question marks.
It felt like she was part of their game.
At this moment, Ibaraki's gaze toward Shuten-dōji had changed.
After holding it in for a long time, Ibaraki could only utter this one sentence.
"Although... I don't know what you're doing... all I want is to protect your smile."
After saying that, she left Shuten-dōji with a mix of shyness, curiosity, confusion, and other complex emotions.
The scene of Shuten being bullied, as expected, did not occur.
It seemed that Shuten-dōji was the one who was demanding.
The fact that someone willingly uttered that unacceptable and shocking word would startle anyone!
Even if she were a demon, she would still be dumbfounded.
It seemed I was just being presumptuous.
After Ibaraki disappeared, Shuten still tried to stop her, her outstretched hand frozen in mid-air.
"Waaaaah, I'm doomed! My reputation as Shuten-dōji is utterly ruined!"
Upon hearing this, Felix almost burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, do you still have any reputation?"
"Damn it, damn it!"
Shuten was unconvinced and jumped up, trying to tackle Felix. The next second, Felix caught her familiarly, turned around, and sat on the edge of the bed, raising his palm high and slapping her buttocks.
The slight pain brought Shuten back to her senses, and she said in a terrified voice.
"I'm~sorry, I was wrong, please...please don't hit that...that place...?"
My God!
Felix was speechless.
Was this a punishment or a reward?
Forget it; let's fight first and see what happens.
It feels pretty good in the hand.
...
After walking away, Ibaraki patted her slightly heaving chest in disbelief and murmured.
"Has Shuten-dōji fallen so low?"
"This...is impossible."
If that's the case, how can she save Shuten-dōji...?
At that moment, from the distant sky, came a sound that made one feel incredibly comfortable, like being embraced by a mother.
"Do you... crave power?"
---
"I don't crave it; I want to save Shuten-dōji in my own way!"
Ibaraki replied almost instinctively, leaving Izanami, who was hiding in the air, speechless for a moment.
No, as the Mother Goddess of Creation, do I have no dignity at all?
Well, ever since Felix opened her box and Tamamo-no-Mae gave her a warning and took away a supreme deity's core, Izanami no longer thought she had any sense of face.
Immediately afterward, Ibaraki-dōji realized what was happening and asked.
"Who are you?"
"Izanami..."
Her tone was self-deprecating, and she didn't expect Ibaraki-dōji to show any shock.
Rejected, Izanami left in frustration.
Just like before, I can only watch his figure from afar...
I want to touch it, but I don't know when I'll be able to get as close as before...
That scared him to death!
Thinking this way, Izanami no longer felt sad and happily went back.
Ibaraki-dōji was almost dumbfounded, never expecting that this mysterious person was actually the legendary creator goddess, Izanami.
With her help, directly...
No, that's not right!
I will save her in my own way.
Ibaraki came up with a brilliant idea.
That person, since things have progressed to that point with Shuten-dōji...
I... I might be able to make some sacrifices.
I'll use my beauty to take Shuten-dōji's place and help her escape her misery!
As for whether she would succumb to temptation and become Felix's plaything like Shuten-dōji.
That was impossible.
I must help Shuten-dōji regain her senses and become her own person, instead of becoming someone else's slave!
...
While Felix and Ibaraki were embarrassing Shuten-dōji, Tamamo-no-Mae had already woken up.
Even without opening her eyes, her cheerfully wagging golden tail showed that she was in a very good mood and had remembered the method.
From now on, whenever Shuten gave her a hard time, she would not hesitate to use this trick!
If Ibuki couldn't break through the defense, then let Ibaraki do it!
When Felix arrived, she deliberately feigned weakness, seemingly unconsciously kicking the blanket to expose her fair, moon-like body to the air.
A virtuous wife, and all that...
Once we regained our strength, we would do it!
Felix was used to her hedonistic behavior and naturally wouldn't blame her.
He simply pretended not to see it and gently covered her with the blanket.
"Mmm...no, don't leave me..."
The girl let out a weak murmur, causing Felix to instinctively hug her.
"I won't leave you."
Felix reached out his palm and placed it on Tamamo-no-Mae's beautiful pink hair, slowly pulling her into his arms.
Having obtained what she wanted, Tamamo-no-Mae narrowed her seemingly closed eyes into slits and looked triumphantly at the little girl who was about to follow Felix out.
Seeing this scene, Shuten-dōji, who was not jealous or even angry, couldn't help herself.
"Hateful!"
The reason she said that was definitely not because Felix's affection for Tamamo-no-Mae was obviously greater than hers.
Rather, she didn't want what belonged to her to be taken away by that wretched fox, Tamamo-no-Mae.
What happened to the Supreme Deity?!
I saw it all as fleeting.
The more Shuten-dōji thought about it, the more agitated she became. She sadly bit her handkerchief, her eyes filled with fear of the nine-tailed fox.
I still can't do it...
On the other side, after spending a long time cuddling with Tamamo-no-Mae, Felix went straight to cook.
At this time, Tamamo-no-Mae also helped him with his work.
Although the food wasn't particularly amazing, it perfectly showcased the freshness and aroma of the ingredients.
This was all thanks to Tamamo-no-Mae. As the supreme deity, she could easily get whatever she wanted.
Felix, considering that Minamoto no Yorimitsu was diligently practicing his swordsmanship, also sent her a gift.
Little did he know, this made Minamoto no Yorimitsu even more distressed.
"I'm the mother, how could I..."
Accept love from your child.
Seeing her like this, Felix smiled and said, "No matter what the relationship is, love is always two-way."
"I'm good to you, and you're good to me too."
"If it's just one-sided giving, then I can only say that simps will never have a good end."
"Only when things are two-way can they be normal, bring joy to the mind and body, and make life more comfortable."
Minamoto no Yorimitsu suddenly realized what was going on and happily accepted the lunchbox that Felix had brought him, saying...
"I will remember this forever."
"It's good that you understand, rather than rejecting it."
After saying that, Felix watched as Minamoto no Yorimitsu finished her meal before returning home satisfied.
Judging by the time, Ibuki-dōji was coming soon.
Hopefully, no one would die.
The purple-haired girl kept watching the boy's retreating figure until he was completely gone, and then she drank the last sip of soup.
"Once I save you, I will protect you... for a lifetime."
...
Tamamo-no-Mae didn't have much of an opinion about Felix delivering the food.
Unlike Shuten-dōji, Minamoto no Yorimitsu was not always trying to sabotage her relationship with Felix.
I don't know if Shuten-dōji was a fool, so easily revealing her purpose as if she was afraid others wouldn't know.
Thinking of this, Tamamo-no-Mae yawned wearily.
I ended up getting a little tired from playing.
She didn't have enough energy, so she could only lie on an adult's lap.
The moment Felix returned, she decisively beat Shuten to the punch, hugged his waist tightly, spun around happily, and said in a delicate voice.
"I think I'm sick."
In fact, this statement was not a lie.
If you absorbed too much magical power and refused to switch to that form, it was still difficult to achieve this using only Tamamo-no-Mae's Spirit Origin.
Apart from strength, she was not as good as she was at her peak in all other aspects.
"Even the supreme deity gets sick..."
These words were not spoken by Felix, but by Shuten-dōji, who was gritting her teeth.
