Chapter 124 Interlude: Alisha Blossom*
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
I believe that a proper greeting is the foundation of everything.
”Good morning~”
”Good morning, Alisha. Good luck with your duties today,” Bishop Octavia replied.
I bowed deeply to her. As the highest-ranking official within the Foxia Church, she is someone I respect, but we are quite close regardless of our stations.
I should introduce myself. I am Alisha Blossom. I am a Monster Hunter, but I also serve as a shrine maiden for the Aurelia Church. Or rather, it’s the other way around – I am a shrine maiden who hunts monsters on the side.
To put it plainly, a shrine maiden of the Aurelia Church is a prostitute. However, we are not common streetwalkers. Our creed is love and healing. Our vocation is to mend the broken bodies and weary souls of gentlemen. While physical intimacy is our most potent tool, many come to us simply seeking a listener. We are counselors, therapists, and, for a fleeting hour, the “ideal girlfriend.” This requires us to be masters of domestic skills and, of course, exceptionally easy on the eyes.
What’s that? My narration sounds too formal compared to how I usually talk?
Well, my usual “customer service” voice is a bit much for internal monologue. Besides, the way a person thinks is rarely the way they speak. Or should I switch to something a bit more vulgar?
Hehe, just kidding.
Let’s begin. The customers are already waiting.
* * *
The last grains of sand slipped through the hourglass.
”That’s our time~. We’ll have to stop here for today~,”
”Mm… is it over already?” the man muttered.
My client – a portly, middle-aged gentleman – slumped his shoulders in disappointment. I suppose that’s only natural, considering he only paid for handiwork and thigh-play. I happen to be the second-most popular girl in the cathedral, so his frustration is a compliment of sorts.
Since he was only here to scratch a physical itch, I cut his time a bit short – though it was still a full koku¹ – and charged him a premium offering². If a man only wants to empty his tank, he should go to a back-alley brothel where the prices are fair. The Church expects a much larger donation for the privilege of our company. He’s wealthy enough; he can afford the tithe.
”Well, if time’s up, it’s up. I’ll be back for you, Alisha, dear,” he said with a greasy grin.
”I’ll be looking forward to your next visit~!”
…Phew. Regular or not, he’s a chore to handle. Compared to the leader of my adventuring clan, his “equipment” and technique are pathetic.
Speaking of my leader, we’re technically “friends with benefits.” I’ve become quite addicted to him, but I make sure to keep my professional life separate from our private sessions. That’s why he only ever steps foot in this church when he needs to buy new toys.
But I digress.
I stepped into the en-suite shower to wash away the sweat and the lingering traces of the previous man. It would be terribly rude to greet my next guest with someone else’s mess still on me. There are some clients with… specific tastes who prefer that sort of thing, but the man just now wasn’t one of them.
He was my second client of the day. The first had been a fellow Monster Hunter who seemed to be going through something terrible; he sought me out with a desperate, almost violent intensity. He apologized afterward, of course, but I didn’t mind. If you can’t handle a little rough treatment, you have no business being a shrine maiden.
After my shower, I used Lifestyle Magic to refresh the room. The spell broke down the odors and replaced them with a soft, aromatic haze. I pulled a pale pink negligee from the closet. The fabric was so thin it was practically a suggestion; it left nothing to the imagination, from the curve of my hips to the dark circles of my areolas.
I’d once given this same outfit to Sieben’s wives, Lil and Marl, and even his servant Honoka. Apparently, they caused quite a stir when they wore them for him.
I’m rambling again.
Regardless, I was ready. I expected a short wait, but a knock came at the door almost immediately.
”Come in, it’s open~!”
”Excuse me,”
”Oh? Well, well, well~.”
The man who entered was Sieben. I never expected him to actually use my services here, especially since we “interact” quite frequently for free.
”Oh, Sieben~! If you were feeling lonely, you could have just waited until I came home~. Even if we’re friends, I’m on the clock here, so you’ll have to pay the full price~.”
”It’s not for me. I need you to help him.”
I hadn’t noticed the man standing in Sieben’s shadow. He was a wreck. His hair was a matted mess, and he smelled as if he hadn’t seen water in weeks. His clothes were filthy, though beneath the grime, I could tell they were high-quality garments – the kind a nobleman might wear.
”And who might this be~?”
”A long story. I need you to heal him. Consider this a formal request from me.”
”I see…”
I leaned in to look at the stranger’s face. His eyes were flat – vacant pools of shadow. I recognized that look. It was the same hollow stare Mercedes had after her lover was murdered and she was kept as a plaything. It was the look of someone who had looked into the abyss and decided to stay there.
Sieben explained the situation. The man’s wife and daughter had gone missing. He had searched for them frantically, only to find them days ago in a gutter in the slums. They had been kidnapped by an illegal brothel, violated repeatedly, and both were pregnant by unknown monsters. They hadn’t committed suicide; they had been beaten to death.
That explained the stench of despair. The sheer cruelty of treating women like disposable trash made my blood boil. Knowing Sieben, he had probably already dealt with the perpetrators in some horrific fashion.
”So, I need you to bring him back from the edge.”
”Of course. If that’s the case, I’m happy to help~. You’re quite the softie, Sieben, helping a total stranger like this~.”
”It’s not that. I’m just cleaning up a mess. Of that sow. Besides… I know what it’s like to lose everything. Take as much time as he needs. I’ve already cleared it with Octavia. I’m counting on you.”
With that, Sieben left us alone. I had a job to do, and I took my work seriously.
”Hello there~,”
”…”
No reaction. I took his hand and pressed it against my breast, but he didn’t even flinch. Usually, that’s enough to get a spark out of any man, but his soul was halfway to the grave. He looked like he was just waiting for permission to die. He was even worse off than Mercedes had been. I realized then that rough treatment wouldn’t work here. It would only break what little was left.
…It was time for the heavy artillery. I don’t like doing this often, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
”Do you want to see them again? The people you love?”
He flinched. Just a tiny tremor.
”Is… is that… possible?”
”For me? Yes. I can bring them to you. Do you want to see them?”
”…I want to see them. My wife… my little girl… Please. Let me see them! Please!”
”I understand.”
Some shrine maidens possess rare gifts. Mine is called Soul Summoning. I can call forth the spirits of those closely tied to a person and allow them to manifest through me. I have to surrender control of my body to the spirits, but I keep a firm grip on the “reins” to ensure I can exorcise them if things turn sour.
I exposed my breasts and guided his trembling hands to my bare skin. Direct contact makes the bridge stronger. I closed my eyes, regulated my breathing, and reached into the ether.
…There they were. I felt the cold shiver of the spirits sliding into my skin. My limbs felt heavy as I lost my grip on my own motor functions.
”…Samuel… My love…”
The voice that came out of my throat wasn’t mine. It was melodic, weary, and full of love. So, his name was Samuel.
”S-Samantha? Is it really you?”
”It’s me. Your Samantha. And… I’m here too, Papa!”
The tone shifted again, becoming higher, more energetic. I had summoned both of them. It was a massive drain on my energy, but I held the connection.
”What?! Sherry?! Is that you too?!”
”It’s me, Papa! We’re using this lady’s body so we can talk to you! Me and Mama together! That’s right, dear,”
”Oh… Oh, God! Samantha! Sherry!”
Samuel threw his arms around me, sobbing into my shoulder. Even though I wasn’t the one moving, I felt the heat of his tears and the strength of his grip. And so did the two women inside me.
”Oh, Samuel… I missed you so much… Papa, you’re squeezing too hard!”
”Nn… Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I’m just so happy… I can’t believe it’s really you…”
Samuel pulled back, his face flushed. The deathly pallor was gone, replaced by a frantic, living energy. And as he looked at me – at them – the biological reality of the situation made itself known.
”Hehe… look at you, Samuel,” Samantha’s voice teased through my lips. “You certainly seem… revitalized. I guess my husband is still a man after all.”
He was sporting a massive erection, his body finally responding to the surge of life and emotion.
’Oh boy,’ I thought to myself, feeling the pressure against my thighs. ‘That is… quite the handful.’
”Um… Papa?” Sherry’s voice asked, sounding small and confused. “Are you… acting weird because of me?”
”Geez, I’m so jealous… Honestly, you’re something else. Isn’t this embarrassing?”
”What’s there to be embarrassed about? Look, we’re here.”
Mr. Samuel gently lowers my body onto the bed. I’m still soaking wet, and I’ve dampened the sheets too, but I don’t care. Because from here on out, I’m going to get them even wetter.
”Darling… Papa… come here.”
I spread my legs wide, obscenely inviting Mr. Samuel. Already completely worked up, he climbs over me and we share a kiss.
”Haa… Samantha… Sherry.”
”Nn… mwah… lick… slurp… Darling… Papa… chu… munch…”
A deep kiss, exchanging saliva. We entwine our tongues, caressing the insides of our mouths. For them, just that seems to feel incredible; occasionally, sweet sighs leak out.
”Haa… how lewd. You’re so scandalous I feel lightheaded.”
”It can’t be helped. Same for Sherry, but I was also put on drugs and things, and before I knew it, I’d become a lewd woman. Besides, this body too… yeah, it’s a totally erotic body. That’s why, Papa, you can’t hold back. Hurry, come to me quickly.”
I see, so they were injected with drugs. That must be why they became unable to escape the pleasure. No wonder their memories of that time are so fuzzy.
And at this point, my advice isn’t even necessary. In fact, my own face is distorted with lust, looking utterly depraved. There’s no way Mr. Samuel could possibly restrain himself.
Squish. Mr. Samuel’s p**is slides into my v**ina.
”Haah! Aanh! Darling… Darling! Papa! It feels so good-more than anyone before, even more than when the drugs were used! It feels so goooood! Ah! Annh! Darling! Papa!”
I’d like to say, “Surely it’s not better than drug-fueled s*x,” but it truly seems to be the case; their very souls have been writhing in ecstasy for a while now.
Well, I’m enjoying it too, though. Since I’ve lost the lead, I can’t even manage a proper moan.
”Ooh! Samantha! Sherry!”
”Annh! Darling… so intense… annh! You’re amazing, Papa, you’re amazing! Annh! That’s… right, Sherry, your Papa is incredible, yesss! Annh!”
Nn… aahh… the sheer amount of love Ms. Samantha and Sherry feel for Mr. Samuel flows into me as well. It feels so wonderful… annh!
Splurt! Squirt! Plop!
That’s the third e**culation. But Mr. Samuel’s hips show no sign of stopping. Far from wilting, his p**is has become even harder.
”Aahn! The heat is going all the way to the back! Ah! Is it… still getting harder? Hahiin! This! Stop! I’m going! Ah! Aaaah! Ah! You’re pouring it in again!”
Mr. Samuel erupts with his seed over and over. As if releasing everything he’s been bottling up until now.
”Aah! Darling! Darling! Darling! Papa! Papa-papa-papa! It’s so much! I’m-already! Aanh! Sherry, I’m c**ming! Mama too… I’m… c**ming!”
My v**ina spasms, clamping down tightly on Mr. Samuel’s p**is.
”Oh! Ooooooooooh!”
Splatter! Gush! Splurt! Whoooosh!
That was Mr. Samuel’s greatest release yet. My uterus greedily drinks down the semen. If I hadn’t cast a contraceptive sorcery, I might have actually gotten pregnant.
”Haa… aa… that was incredible… Darling… Papa… you put too much in…”
”No, it’s been a long time, and it just felt too good…”
”Is that… something I should be happy about?”
Since you pleased your man, I’d say it’s the ultimate fulfillment for a woman. And since Mr. Samuel made us climax like that, I think he should be proud.
Since they pleased each other so much, they must have been a very close-knit couple and family.
”Hey, Samantha. Sherry.”
”Yes, dear? What is it, Papa?”
”Would it be… okay if I went to be with you guys too?”
I gasp at Samuel’s words. As I thought, he hasn’t been able to wipe away the pain of his loss. However, that isn’t something that can be allowed. And Ms. Samantha and Sherry felt exactly the same way I did.
”You can’t do that, Darling.” “That’s right, Papa. You’re still alive.”
”But! A world without you two is…”
”…Listen, Papa. We have a request.”
”A request?”
”That’s right, Darling. Live. Live for us, and find a new happiness. If you can be happy, that’s all we need to be at peace. So Papa, don’t even think about dying. We’ll… meet again one day.”
”Will you be… waiting for me?”
”Of course we will. To us, it’ll pass in the blink of an eye. So we’ll wait.”
”I see… you’ll wait for me… I understand. Samantha, Sherry…”
Mr. Samuel embraces my body. It’s so warm-a kind of warmth that I, having grown up without parents, found myself very envious of.
‘Thank you. We’re okay now.’
‘Thank you for letting us see Papa.’
Is that enough for you?
‘Yes. Besides… if you feel like it, you’ll let us see him again, won’t you?’
I mean, I can… but it’s actually quite a lot of work, you know? Especially two at once. Next time, please, one at a time.
‘Ufufu, that’s true. Next time, just the two of us…’
‘I want to spoil Papa even more next time~’
That depends on Mr. Samuel. If he’s ever truly depressed again, I’ll call for you.
”Darling… Papa. See you later.”
”Yeah, see you.”
And with that, the two souls drifted away from me.
”Thank you. For letting me see them.”
”Nooo problem at all~, more importantly~, I’m just glad you’re feeling better~.”
”Well, after being asked for a favor like that… By the way, is that your usual way of speaking?”
”Yesss~, it sure is~.”
…Serious Mode never lasts very long, after all.
”By the way, um… I have a favor to ask…”
”Yesss~, what is it~?”
”Well, would it be alright if I held you? Even though I was just doing it with my wives a moment ago. I mean, wouldn’t this count as cheating?”
”I don’t mind at all~. After all~, it’s my duty~ as a shrine maiden~. Besides~, I think those two~ would forgive you~… probably.”
”Only ‘probably’!?”
Exchanging those words, the two of us laughed together.
Of course, we did it a lot-a whole, whole lot. Because I love lewd things.
By the way, after the job was finished, Mr. Sieben loved me so much I couldn’t even stand up… Naturally, the next day, I ended up having to take a break from both Monster Hunter and my shrine maiden duties.
Seriously, that man is just too much~…

The Samuel appearing in this story is the same person who attacked Reika to kill her during the poker match. Since Natsumi wasn’t harmed and Reika and the others are essentially “finished” as humans, Natsumi spoke to the Gendarmerie to have him released.
Note that Samuel doesn’t know the details of Reika’s current situation. Natsumi told him, “The woman named Reika has vanished from this world,” so he mistakenly thinks she’s dead. Furthermore, his wife and daughter were found as corpses, which resulted in him losing his will to live.
We’ll return to the main story next time. I actually wanted to put in one more interlude, but since it’s just the story of the camper van’s “sudden birth,” I figured it’s fine to skip. I’ll write it eventually if there are requests.

Summary:
Alisha Blossom, a ‘healing’ shrine maiden and Monster Hunter, goes through her daily routine at the Aurelia Church. Her work is interrupted when her clan leader, Sieben, brings in a nobleman named Samuel who has lost his family to brutal crime. Alisha uses her rare ‘Soul Summoning’ skill to allow Samuel’s dead wife and daughter to possess her, leading to a complex emotional and physical encounter.
Natsumi acts as a medium for the souls of Samuel’s late wife and daughter, Samantha and Sherry, allowing them to share a final intimate and emotional reunion. Through this s*xual and spiritual connection, the family finds closure, and the spirits convince Samuel to keep living and find new happiness. The chapter ends with a shift back to Natsumi’s playful persona and a teaser for future plot developments.
—
Trivia:
- Alisha is the second-most popular girl in the cathedral.
- Shrine maidens in this setting act as high-end prostitutes and therapists.
- The Church charges high ‘donations’ for simple carnal satisfaction to encourage spiritual ‘healing’ instead.
- Sieben referred to a ‘sow’—likely the person responsible for the mess he is cleaning up.
- The Soul Summoning skill allows the medium to feel everything the possessing spirits feel.
- Samuel’s family was murdered in an illegal brothel run by the Brothel Guild’s rivals.
- Samuel was a previous antagonist who tried to kill Reika.
- Natsumi is the one who negotiated Samuel’s release from the Gendarmerie.
- Samuel believes Reika is dead because of Natsumi’s vague wording.
- Natsumi used a literal ‘contraceptive sorcery’ during the encounter.
- The mention of ‘Mr. Sieben’ in the post-script suggests Natsumi has other regular partners
—
Character Insight:
Alisha shows a professional yet empathetic side, balancing her ‘friend with benefits’ relationship with Sieben and her duty to heal the broken. Samuel shifts from a state of total catatonia to intense emotional and physical arousal upon ‘reuniting’ with his family.
Natsumi shows a complex mix of empathy and pragmatism; she envies the warmth of a family she never had while casually fulfilling her ‘shrine maiden duties’ through s*xual acts. Samuel transitions from suicidal despair to a reluctant promise to live.
—
Behind the Scenes:
The author notes that this interlude was intended to be shorter but expanded due to the complexity of the possession scene. It highlights the darker ‘seinen’ elements of the world’s s*x industry.
The author uses ‘Serious Mode’ to joke about the tonal shifts in the story and references real-world games like ‘Monster Hunter’ to ground the character’s hobbies.
