Volume 2 Chapter 24 A Dangerous Gift The Epilogue of Kasumi’s Forbidden Desire and Reconciliation
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Perhaps it was just foresight that led me to marry.
After graduating from university, I met my current husband, who was already running his own company. I chose to marry him because I believed the ‘Dungeon’ industry would be a sector in high demand for years to come. Of course, that wasn’t the only reason one would marry; there was a part of me truly drawn to his passion and intense drive. Though we didn’t have many chances to meet in the beginning, I genuinely cared for him—my husband always made time to come home and see me.
Things drastically changed, however, after Kirino-chan was born. I quit my job then to become a full-time homemaker. Kirino-chan was raised with the help of the Hidou family’s servants, but during that time, my husband’s company performance soared, making him busier than ever. Dungeon Guild Co., the company he managed as president, had expanded its Dungeon-related operations nationwide, which meant he was constantly traveling. The number of times he visited me plummeted, and whether that was the cause or not, we had been s*xless for a long time after Kirino-chan’s birth.
It was during this period that the small, winged, human-like creature I summoned with my Gift, ‘Imp – s*xual Demon Summon’, helped manage my s*xual urges. She was my little ‘Imp – s*xual Demon’-chan, barely the size of my palm. While these beings are called monsters in the Dungeons and other realms, she preferred to call herself a spirit. This spirit was usually invisible to others, and only I, the summoner, could converse with her. Through her, I could use two skills: ‘Lust Enhancement’ and ‘Hypnotic’.
’Lust Enhancement’ could increase a target’s s*xual desire, speed up a man’s recovery ‘down there,’ or even make them crave me. ‘Hypnotic’ was, simply put, memory alteration and thought manipulation—a terrible skill no criminal should ever possess. I applied these skills to myself, deceiving my own mind and slowly suppressing the frustration of our s*xless marriage.
I could have used the skill on my husband. But when he did return, it was only for a day. He’d leave again for work immediately the next morning, leaving no time for us to truly relax. I didn’t like getting in the way of his work, so I had resigned myself to the situation… until one day.
More than ten years passed in our s*xless state. Kirino-chan had become a high school student and, for the very first time, brought a boy home. The boy I happened to see bowed deeply to me the moment he saw me; he seemed like a kind child. I was surprised that Kirino-chan, who I thought didn’t even have girl friends, brought home a boy first. But what truly astonished me was what happened next: she was having s*x with that boy.
The scent of our family body soap wafted faintly. It wasn’t raining, so I couldn’t understand why they needed to shower. From the expressions on Kirino-chan and the boy’s faces, I understood immediately. Yet, he wasn’t her boyfriend. So, a ‘s*x friend,’ then?
That easy thought led to a dangerous one: If she can, maybe I can, too… I loved my husband, and he told me he loved me. But I couldn’t feel that love when he didn’t desire me physically. So, for the first time, I used my Imp – s*xual Demon-chan’s skill for my own selfish desire. I asked Kirino-chan to bring her friend—Hirose-kun—home, and after over a decade, I finally released my pent-up s*xual appetite.
However, I hadn’t anticipated the Effect of ‘Lust Enhancement’ to be so overwhelming. Following my initial request, ‘Don’t stop even if I ask you to,‘ he utterly ravaged my body, ravaging me until I nearly blacked out. I realized I couldn’t handle him alone. So, I had my Imp – s*xual Demon-chan call Kirino-chan in, and we ended up doing it together. I never imagined I’d engage in such an act with my own daughter, but I can’t deny that it felt good. I believe it was the effect of his Gift and my skill combined, bringing moisture back to my body, which had begun to wither. I intended to keep ‘borrowing’ him, but then…
’I don’t think it’s right to use your Gift on Takanashi-senpai and Hidou-senpai…’
The girl was as adorable as a foreign doll. Kirino-chan’s friend, Asami-chan, somehow saw my Imp – s*xual Demon-chan, who should have been invisible, and heard her words. She knew I had been using my skills on Kirino-chan and Hirose-kun. Since this girl, who seemed uncomfortable talking to people, reacted calmly even when my Imp – s*xual Demon-chan was bewildered, I knew she was unusual.
Unsure what else to do, I confessed my s*xless marriage to the small girl. ‘Takanashi-senpai… already has a girlfriend,’ she whispered. ‘Someone other than Hidou-senpai…. The seniors are… kind. So, if you just talk to them… they’ll forgive you… probably.’ The girl revealed that Hirose-kun had a girlfriend, and then left, seemingly trying to persuade me that I could still go back.
”Kirino-chan, I’m sorry,” I admitted. “I was using my skill on you and Hirose-kun. I know it’s unforgivable… but I truly apologize.” It was a crime, what I did—using my skill to force someone half my age.
”I see… so that’s where the weird feeling came from,” Kirino-chan murmured, putting a hand to her chin. “I altered your memories, you see…”
”So, I should—” I began.
”Don’t tell Hirose-kun or his girlfriend,” she interrupted. I had planned to apologize to Hirose-kun and his girlfriend, Hibiki-chan, and had only consulted Kirino-chan first, but she wouldn’t have it.
”There are some things they don’t need to know, Mom. If you tell them everything, Hirose-kun and Hibiki-chan won’t know what to do, and they might feel hurt. It’s better not to say anything.”
”But…” I protested.
”‘s*xless’ is a word I never wanted to hear from my parents, but I guess I can understand how you feel. Because if I couldn’t see Hirose-kun for a long time, and couldn’t do that with him, I’d probably be hurting too,” she spoke with a maturity that surprised me.
”Kirino-chan…” I breathed, touched by her understanding. I knew her relationship with Hirose-kun was complex, but it was clear how much she valued him.
”Your skill can probably control Hirose-kun’s Recoil effect, too. So, I think you need to talk to Dad first.”
”But your father…”
”I can get him to come back. He loves me, after all,” she insisted.
”He doesn’t prioritize me, though,” I whispered, the old pain resurfacing.
”That’s beside the point, Mom. But he really does love you.” I hadn’t been sure if he loved me or not lately. I knew that s*xlessness was common as people age, but my body still ached with desire. Did he, nearly ten years my senior, still have a s*x drive? Did he still want me?
”So, just wait for me,” she said.
”Okay.”
And then, Kirino-chan easily called my husband, Gori-san, home. She apparently lied that she was seriously injured. My daughter had, without me realizing, become quite adept at social maneuvering.
”Kasumi, I’m so sorry… for everything, until now!” My husband, a man known to the world as intimidating, was kneeling on the floor of my room, his forehead touching the tatami, in a deep dogeza bow.
When I finally told him I was suffering from our s*xless life, he suddenly knelt and apologized.
”Truth is, I was afraid to bring it up, too… after I had to be away for work so long, I couldn’t find the right timing to ask… and when I came home, I kept thinking you wouldn’t want me, now that I’m older…”
I’d never heard him say such a thing. I hadn’t said anything either, but it wasn’t easy to talk about. If I’d brought it up and he rejected me, it would have sealed our physical separation forever. Both of us had been afraid. If we had simply faced the issue and talked, we might have solved this much sooner.
”…Can you still love my body?” I pressed, my voice trembling.
”Of course!” he roared sincerely. “I’ve traveled the entire country, but there wasn’t a single beauty like you!”
”Even with all those younger girls?” I challenged.
”You look no older than your twenties, Kasumi, how could I not?”
”Well… I do try,” I murmured. It wasn’t easy to accept his compliments, no matter how much he gave them. I instinctively defaulted to denial.
”Three times a month,” he declared.
”Huh?” I asked.
”I will come home and make time for you.” Was he cutting his work time for me? “That’s my limit right now… but those three times. Or maybe four… I will absolutely make the time.”
”And then…?” I prompted.
”Will you love a man like me again?”
A wave of emotion washed over me, and tears streamed from my eyes the moment he said that.
”See? Told ya it’d work out,” my Imp – s*xual Demon-chan whispered from beside me. “That old guy has a pretty good libido, ya know. He just funneled it all into his work until now.” My husband didn’t hear her, but she seemed to know about his body.
”Kasumi…” he groaned.
”Gori-san…” I wept.
We embraced right there on the floor. His body, although perhaps starting to show his age, was muscular and powerful like his father’s—masculine and strong. As his large body held me tight, my inner desire felt released and burned hot.
”Is it okay for today?” I asked softly.
”Yes. I actually took the time off for Kirino, but… I’m free now.”
”She’s happy right now. Happy enough not to need either of us.”
”So, I don’t need to worry?” he murmured.
”That’s right… so look at me, and only me, now.”
”I understand…” he vowed.
Was dialogue truly that important? Once I spoke, we were able to connect so easily. I truly wronged Kirino-chan and Hirose-kun. Kirino-chan said it was better not to tell them, so I will leave it in her hands. And that girl—Asami-chan. She was a strange girl, but if she hadn’t spoken up, I might have kept making mistakes endlessly.
Kirino-chan. You truly met wonderful people.
――Thank you.

Character Insight:
Kasumi Hidou’s journey reveals the profound loneliness and desperation that can exist behind an elegant facade. Her reliance on the ‘Lust Enhancement’ Gift was a desperate attempt to feel desired again, highlighting the emotional cost of her husband’s success in the Dungeon Guild business. Her final, tearful reconciliation with Gori-san shows that both were paralyzed by fear and lack of communication, making this a story of supernatural romance grounded in very real marital struggles. Kirino-chan’s calm, pragmatic response and forgiveness establish her as a surprisingly strong, emotionally intelligent figure in this family drama.

Behind the Scene:
This scene concludes Kasumi’s initial arc of s*xual and emotional repression by resolving the core conflict of her s*xless marriage. The brief, almost accidental intervention by the mysterious Asami-chan serves as the final catalyst for Kasumi’s confrontation, preventing her from continuing down a path of skill misuse and forbidden desire. The conversation between Kasumi and Gori-san, focused on a commitment to physical intimacy and scheduled time, underscores the heavy demands of the Dungeon Industry on family life, even for the powerful president.
Notes:
• Kirino – Strikingly beautiful with blue long hair (F, 168cm), Kirino is gifted with ice magic and feels isolated because of her appearance. Hirose’s Beauty skill helps her improve her self-image and social comfort, directly affecting Kirino’s relationship with her family and classmates.
• Kasumi – Kirino’s mother (F, 41yo, navy medium hair, H-cup, 165cm), so attractive and youthful she’s mistaken for Kirino’s sister. Kasumi’s presence adds complexity to family and beauty dynamics, and she shares scenes reflecting the story’s focus on transformation and relationships.
• Yaginuma Asami – 16-year-old 1st-year, many inherited/stacking gifts, stores items, reflects attacks, teleports, resists conditions, mixed Japanese-English.
