Chapter 74 Methods of Cultivation
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”Nn… ah… you’re not… you’re not really going again, are you?”
Miyuna’s voice was a jagged gasp. Feeling Aki’s manhood—his “Little Aki”—stiffen once more deep within her flower path, she questioned him with a shaky breath, though her eyes were already glazed with a primal, lingering lust.
”We’ve barely scratched the surface,” Aki replied. He shifted his weight, driving back into her with a slow, deliberate force. “As long as you can take it, I could spend the entire night burying myself in you.”
Miyuna’s slick, tight Flower Valley¹ was utterly conquered by that purple-red dragon. He claimed her mouth again and again in bruising kisses, while his hands kneaded her large, shapely breasts until they were flushed and marked by his touch. From her lithe, snake-like waist to her ivory thighs and the full, heavy curve of her backside, there wasn’t an inch of her body that remained uninvaded.
That night, Miyuna became nothing more than a vessel for Aki’s release, enduring one baptism of his essence² after another. The sophisticated older woman was like a dinghy tossed in a violent gale, her tender frame shuddering uncontrollably every time he hit the bottom.
Miyuna’s physical conditioning was top-tier—her years at the sword dojo had gifted her with a level of stamina that would put most men to shame—but against the supernatural endurance of a Succubus-tier opponent, she was outmatched. By the time Aki reached his fifth climax, she had slipped into a total daze. She could only stroke her bloated lower abdomen, her voice a hollow, broken murmur.
”I can’t… I can’t fit any more… It’s too much… I’m so full…”
By then, the clock had only just ticked past midnight.
For Aki, this was a casual arrangement, a moment of fleeting pleasure. He took what he wanted, but he wasn’t interested in breaking her completely. He finally withdrew from her swollen, reddened depths, leaving her to catch her breath while he washed up in the shower. Eventually, he pulled her soft, fragrant body into his arms and they fell into a dreamless sleep.
The next morning, Aki was pulled from sleep by a warm, rhythmic pressure.
Miyuna’s body hadn’t fully recovered from the night before, but her hunger was far from sated. After “cleaning up” a fresh serving of his essence for breakfast, she arched her back, presenting her firm, heavy backside to him.
”Uesugi, I’ve never let anyone in back here,” she panted, her eyes dilated into hearts. “I’ve already cleaned myself up for you. Do you want to try it?”
Her back door pulsed—a tight, puckered ring of muscle that clenched and relaxed in an inviting rhythm. Paired with her desperate, infatuated expression and her submissive posture, the offer was incredibly tempting. Aki considered it. He’d always been curious about the “back way,” but giving that first experience to Miyuna? He decided it wasn’t worth the trade. If he was going to cross that line, it should be with someone like Rias Gremory, or at least a girl of Miyajima Sakura’s caliber.
”Maybe next time. I’ve got class,” Aki said, giving her backside a final, sharp squeeze that drew a sharp cry of pleasure from her.
Despite her lingering, longing gaze, Aki dressed in his uniform and packed his bag. He gave her a final, deep kiss—mostly because he couldn’t stand her begging eyes—and slipped out of the apartment.
Miyuna watched him go, the ache of his absence hitting her immediately. Despite the raw, burning sensation between her legs, she dressed and headed for work. Aki’s “nourishment” had done wonders for her recovery, and she figured she could handle a day at the reception desk well enough.

Friday. The third day of Aki’s surveillance at Aisu Academy.
Every day after school, he had been leaving early to pick up the Takamine sisters or visiting the Miyajima Dojo. While waiting, he utilized the technique Himejima Akeno had taught him, processing the data fed to him by the small black sphere.
Everything seemed frustratingly normal. The Familiar had not found any abnormalities around Miyajima Sakura³ or the Takamine sisters, nor had it seen any male students suspected of being Tanaka Hajime at the school. By 3:00 PM, Aki stood at the academy gates, listening to the Familiar’s report with a frown. He couldn’t keep this up forever. He couldn’t just sit and wait to be the target; he needed a more proactive defense, especially since he wasn’t even sure if Tanaka Hajime would even appear in this specific world.
As the final bell rang, Aki led the Takamine sisters and Sakura away, ignoring the jealous glares from the other boys. With the weekend approaching, he decided it was time to bolster their defenses. They needed more than physical strength—they needed mental fortification to resist hypnosis. Even a split-second of clarity could be the difference between a counter-attack and total subjugation.
Sakura’s attitude toward Aki had shifted into something far more complex ever since she’d learned of the supernatural. She’d been cozying up to the Takamine sisters, digging for details about him. He’d told the sisters not to hold back, so she now knew about Hamazaki Reina and the others. Instead of running, Sakura seemed to have made a choice. She’d even asked to spend the weekend at his place to begin her training.
The method was simple: Dual Cultivation⁴.
The Takamine sisters and Hamazaki Reina had seen massive gains through the practice, though the returns were starting to diminish as their levels plateaued. To kickstart their progress again, Aki either needed to rank up himself or master Intermediate Magic Power Extraction⁵ to improve the quality of the Mana he shared. Since he couldn’t rely on luck to give him the skill, he’d already snagged a manual from the Student Council. His magic talent was mediocre at best; he estimated it would take at least a month of study to master the new method.
Back at the Takamine house, the group shared a quiet dinner. Once the plates were cleared, Aki laid out the reality of Dual Cultivation for Sakura. The genius kendo prodigy blushed a deep crimson, her eyes darting to the floor. She didn’t say no. In fact, her silence was a loud “yes.” Her pride wouldn’t let her say it, but the Takamine sisters had already filled her head with stories of what to expect. She wasn’t just curious; she wanted to feel it for herself.
Under the playful, knowing looks of the Takamine sisters, Aki finished his meal and took Sakura’s hand, leading her toward the stairs. She followed him like a shy bride, her heart racing. Once they were behind the closed door of the bedroom, she finally looked up.
”Uesugi-kun… what do we do now?”
”Don’t tell me you have no experience, Sakura-senpai?” Aki teased. “A girl as popular as you must have had plenty of boyfriends.”
Sakura shook her head quickly. “No. I’ve had confessions, obviously, but I never accepted.”
”Why not?” Aki was genuinely curious. In the worlds of these stories, heroines often had an almost unrealistic level of chastity until a villain forced their hand.
Sakura looked at him like he was the dense one. “Because I never found anyone I actually liked. Is there any other reason?”
Aki blinked. (He had overthought it.)
”Right. My mistake,” he laughed, shifting gears. “Do you want to shower first?”
Miyajima Sakura fidgeted with her hem. “I… I actually showered in the club room before school ended.”
She had clearly come prepared. She wasn’t just clean; she was wearing a set of black lace “victory” lingerie she’d bought specifically for tonight.

Character Insight:
Aki shows a pragmatic and somewhat predatory streak, choosing not to engage in certain acts with Miyuna because he wants to ‘save’ those experiences for higher-tier girls. Sakura shows a surprising lack of previous romantic experience, attributing it simply to high standards.
