Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

Could you please keep your voice down?

Hearing the groans echoing in her ears, Reimu, who was crouching behind Uchiha Gin, raised her head, her face flushed.

"Didn't you say I don't need much effort? What's wrong with me making a couple of noises?"

The thick-skinned Uchiha Gin turned his face away, raising an eyebrow at Reimu with a smug look.

"you!"

Provoked, Reimu's small hands, holding a bath towel, bulged with veins; she wished she could scrub the skin off Uchiha Gin, that bastard who had offended her eyes.

"Hurry up, there's still some rubbing left to do."

"What's the rush? I can play all night long!"

Having said that, Reimu, now transformed into a bathhouse attendant, raised her already aching arms and began scrubbing vigorously, her face puffed up like a bun, clearly dissatisfied.

Seeing the shrine maiden who had relaxed her guard after his teasing, Uchiha Gin, enjoying her special services, narrowed his eyes and asked seemingly casually,
"What did you think of the sealing technique I used earlier?"

"That's quite impressive, otherwise who knows what would have happened to that child?"

Upon hearing this question, Reimu, who was focused on attacking Uchiha Gin's vulnerable rear area, replied without looking up.
As an expert in this field, having understood the intricacies of the Ten Directions Sealing Technique, she naturally held Uchiha Gin's sealing techniques in extremely high regard.
"I'm not talking about the one on Nagato's body."

"The other three? They're even more impressive, to be able to possess such strength."

"!!!"

The air in the bathroom seemed to freeze for a moment. Reimu, whose voice had abruptly stopped, abruptly halted her rubbing of Reimu's back.
What were you just saying? I don't understand.

A few seconds later, she slowly raised her head, meeting Uchiha Gin's eyes, which were gleaming with a hint of coldness. Her expression quickly changed from shock to bewilderment.
"It's so hot in the bathroom, I feel a little dizzy. You take a shower first, I'm going out for some fresh air."

Seeing that Uchiha Gin still had that cold, aloof expression, Reimu feigned confusion, tugged at her collar, and slowly stood up. Her frantic steps as she ran betrayed her inner panic.

dying! dying!
Having read countless cheap, mass-produced novels in recent years, Reimu was genuinely terrified when she recalled the look in Gin Uchiha's eyes just now.
Following the novel's plot, having discovered this hidden secret, she faces only the fate of being silenced.

Her mind in turmoil, she lowered her head and tried to rush out the door, desperate to at least protect Maitreya.

"Boom!"

She hadn't gone far when Reimu bumped into a soaking wet figure, followed by Gin Uchiha's cold voice.
"The service isn't over yet, where are you headed?"

"Gah!"

Reimu let out a quack in fright. She shakily raised her head and looked at Uchiha Gin, who was standing in front of her, her eyes filled with despair.
"Please, please, let Maitreya go. She knows nothing."

"Oh? From what you're saying, it seems you know something?"

Looking down at Reimu, who was terrified by the murderous intent he had deliberately displayed, Uchiha Gin suppressed a smile and put on an extremely cold demeanor, as if he were about to swiftly bring down a head.

Feeling an unprecedented chill lock onto her, Reimu's heart leaped into her throat. Despite being the heir to the power of the Oni Kingdom's priestess and the youngest ancient sealing master in history, she couldn't change the fact that she was only eighteen.
"woooooo"

Reimu, whose legs were trembling, burst into tears under the impact of this palpable killing intent. She collapsed to the ground, large tears streaming down her face.

"Uh"

Reimu's overreaction caught Uchiha Gin off guard. He had only intended to bluff this mercenary and shameless shrine maiden, forcing her to keep his secret to herself.
Now it seems he went a bit too far.

That's true. Even a tailed beast might not be able to withstand his killing intent, let alone a young girl who has just come of age.
Scratching his head helplessly, Uchiha Gintoki, having suppressed his murderous intent, softened his tone and gently comforted her.

"Okay, stop crying."

"woooooo"

Unfortunately, the effect was mediocre, so he had to change his approach and adopt a fierce expression.
"Heh heh heh~"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Now things are really bad. Not only did she cry even louder, but a pool of liquid that looked completely different from her tears seemed to be spreading between Reimu's duck legs.
"Sigh, in the end we still have to resort to this trick."

Uchiha Gin sighed. To prevent Reimu's crying from alerting Uchiha Hikaru and the other woman in the nearby guest room, he raised his hand and summoned his system space, preparing to use his unique methods to completely shut up the shrine maiden in front of him, whose bottom was covered in some unknown liquid.

"Clang~ Clang~ Clang~"

"Waaah! Ugh!"

As one golden brick after another fell, Reimu's hoarse sobs, her eyes red from crying, abruptly ceased. Her eyes were wide open, but her tear ducts, belatedly aware, were still secreting tears freely.

"Isn't it enough?"

Seeing Reimu's tears flow like a burst dam, Uchiha Gin frowned and shook out another pile of gold bricks from his system space, continuing until the golden light filled the entire room before stopping.

"Still not speaking? Aren't you being a bit too greedy, you armpit-baring shrine maiden?"

Reimu still didn't respond to his attempts to entice her. Uchiha Gin curled his lip.
"So he had fainted?"

He was just about to lecture her on not being too greedy when he discovered that Reimu, kneeling amidst the pile of gold bricks, had already fainted with a blissful expression, her dead-fish eyes instantly drooping.
"Hey, wake up! If you're sleeping here, where am I supposed to sleep?"

Gin Uchiha casually picked up a gold brick and gently tapped it on Reimu's flushed cheeks, his face full of helplessness, and softly called out,
"So much gold!"

Physically awakened by the gold brick, Reimu, drooling and mumbling, slowly awoke. Upon seeing the gold brick that Uchiha Gin had slapped in her face, her consciousness instantly returned to normal.

"Have I fallen into the legendary golden hell?"

"Hell doesn't offer such good treatment."

Uchiha Gin rolled his eyes and muttered a sarcastic remark.

"Huh? What kind of twisted sense of humor is this, trying to destroy someone's spirit before actually killing them?"

Reimu, realizing she was still alive, shrank back and pursed her lips in disapproval of Uchiha Gin in front of her.

"You should tidy up first."

Pointing to the wet stains under the shrine maiden's buttocks, Uchiha Gin kindly reminded her.
"what!"

Only then did Reimu, who had been under immense tension, realize her embarrassing situation of publicly leaking fluid, and her fair cheeks instantly turned bright red with shame.

"Crack!"

She clutched the hem of her bathrobe and rushed into the bathroom, taking three steps at a time.
"Wow~"

As the sound of running water stopped, Reimu, dressed in a silver-blue and white Uchiha yukata, emerged from the bathroom, her face flushed, carrying a towel for wiping the floor.
After quickly cleaning up the warm water stains, knowing that escape was hopeless, she knelt back down in front of Uchiha Gin. Her blushing face visibly turned to defeat, and in an instant, only a faint sense of death remained.
"Please be quiet when you kill me, I'm afraid of waking Maitreya?"

"When did I ever say I was going to kill you?"

Uchiha Gin sat reclining on a throne made of gold, looking down at the pitiful red and white priestess. His feignedly cold face was now full of mocking smiles.
"what?"

Reimu, who had been bowing her head in resignation, suddenly raised her head upon hearing this, her ashen eyes filled with disbelief.
"Not only will I not kill you, but I will also put all of these into your meager purse as an offering."

Smiling, Gin Uchiha patted the throne beneath him and continued,

"Of course, this is on the premise that you swear to keep the secret forever."

"Thump!" The words had barely left her lips when the slender figure, kneeling on the ground, suddenly took flight, performing a 720° backflip with a difficulty rating of 9.99. Her knees slammed against the tatami mat upon landing, making a loud thud.

"I, Reimu Hakurei, will protect this secret with my life!"

She no longer had any will to die; all she had was boundless loyalty to Uchiha Gin.

She's still that shameless, red and white armpit-baring shrine maiden.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

Seeing the remarkable effectiveness of his methods, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but let out a smug, sinister laugh.

In his view, there could be no worse way than corrupting a pure and innocent young girl with vulgar money and letting her control her future.

"Gold... gold... all of this is my offering!"

Lost in the allure of money, Reimu giggled as she hugged the gold brick beside her, rubbing it vigorously against her cheeks until they were flushed with excitement.

Yesterday, she was a poor shrine maiden struggling to make ends meet, but today she has transformed into the youngest richest woman in the shrine maiden world!
"That's right, all the gold bricks here, worth 100 million taels, are now yours."

"One hundred million!"

Upon hearing this, Reimu Hakurei froze on the spot, her little mind racing.
Given that the cheapest bag of rice costs 500 taels, how many bags of rice can be bought with 100 million taels?

"Good, good, good, good."

Even after calculating until her head was spinning, Reimu still couldn't figure out how many zeros were after the number of bags of rice.
"Do I really only need to keep your secret to receive so many offerings?"

After a moment of disorientation, Reimu slowly came to her senses. Having been terrified of poverty, she still felt that everything before her was unreal, so she cautiously checked with Uchiha Gin again to confirm.
"Do you think I'm joking?"

Uchiha Gin, who had just stepped down from the golden throne that had changed hands, lay lazily on the tatami mat, frowning somewhat impatiently as he asked,
"No I just."

Reimu quickly waved her hand, a deep look of conflict appearing on her fair face, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Just what? You think it's not enough?"

“I’m just thinking about how to repay these offerings.”

The ancestral laws cannot be changed, and the traditions of the shaman cannot be broken.

Uchiha Gin rested his chin on his hand, watching Reimu, who had suddenly stood up and was pacing back and forth, with a look of curiosity on his face.

"Please wait."

Finally, Reimu, who had been pacing back and forth in the room dozens of times, suddenly stopped, her pale red eyes filled with determination.
"Wow~"

After saying that, she pushed open the door and left, leaving Uchiha Gin completely bewildered.

ten minutes later,

"Kaka."

Uchiha Gin, already overcome with sleepiness, heard the rustling sound of the door opening. He looked up in confusion and saw a slender figure bathed in moonlight.

Why are you dressed so formally?

Seeing Reimu change out of her yukata and put back on her revealing shrine maiden outfit, Gin Uchiha, who had initially been somewhat expectant, subtly curled his lip.
"Because I really had no other clothes to wear."

When asked the question, Reimu blushed and knelt down in front of Uchiha Gin. Under the other's curious gaze, she slowly took out a [item/item] from behind her back.
Collar?

"what?"

Upon seeing the collar in Reimu's hand, which was intended for large dogs, Gin Uchiha instantly lost all sleepiness.
"Crack!"

Before he could ask a question, Reimu, having made up her mind, snapped the collar around her neck.
"Wang Wang~"

It raised its hands to its chest in a claw-like shape, barked twice in a barely audible voice, then quickly lowered its head, not daring to look directly at the dumbfounded Uchiha Gin.
"Which hentai taught you this?"

Looking at Reimu kneeling before him like a docile puppy, Gin Uchiha felt as if a thousand Five-Tails were stampeding through his mind. After a few seconds of stunned silence, he asked in a strange tone,

"He is my master."

"Please give me her contact information. I'll take Uncle Hat to invite her for tea right away."

"Zi San San has already sacrificed himself in the battle to seal the monsters in the gap."

Recalling the teacher who claimed to be forever seventeen, a hint of sadness gradually surfaced on Reimu's blushing face, and tears welled up in her pale red eyes.
"To this day, the body has not been found."

"Sorry, I was abrupt."

Realizing he had inadvertently touched a nerve with Reimu, Uchiha Gin scratched his head sheepishly. Looking at the room piled high with gold bricks, and wanting to make amends to the dog-like shrine maiden he'd made cry, he grabbed another handful of gold bricks from his system space and handed them over.

"Take this and give your master a proper, grand celebration."

"!!!"

Seeing that she had another gold brick, Reimu's tearful eyes widened instantly. After swallowing hard, she forced her gaze away from the glittering gold.

"This isn't right, I've already received so many offerings from you."

"No, no, no, one thing at a time."

Uchiha Gin shook his head and gestured for Reimu to accept his compensation.

"OK then."

If she didn't accept it now, it would seem impolite. Biting her lip, Reimu nodded slightly, preparing to get up and take it.
"what!"

As a result, because she had bruised her knee while swearing her loyalty to Uchiha Gin, she couldn't get up on her first try, and her whole body tilted forward uncontrollably.
Pfft!
In the end, Reimu lay on all fours in a shameful position in front of Uchiha Gin, who was holding a gold brick. Her voice was not loud, but it successfully woke up the two lionesses who had just closed their eyes.

(*д)┌ Orz
The air in the room seemed to freeze. Reimu, feeling utterly humiliated, didn't dare lift her head. Tears, already welling from missing her master, combined with tears of shame and indignation, streamed down her face, dripping onto the damp tatami mat.

Uchiha Gin covered his forehead with one hand. Luckily, the incident happened at night when no one would know. Otherwise, based on the scene before him, he would have been able to return to his old job and get a government job.

"woooooo"

"Oh dear, don't cry. If someone sees you like this, they'll think I'm playing some weird game."

Looking at Reimu, who resembled an abandoned puppy, Gin Uchiha sighed inwardly and prepared to help her up.

"Dangdang!"

Just as he stood up, a sudden thud sounded as something hit the ground, and Uchiha Gin's body stiffened abruptly.
"Gululu~"

Looking down at the tattered doll that had rolled to his feet, then looking up at Maitreya, who was standing in the doorway at some point, wearing pajamas and with vacant eyes, Maitreya forced a smile that was more like a grimace.
"Little Maitreya, if your uncle said you're sleepwalking right now, would you believe him?"

"Hmph! Master, you played dog games with Uncle Chef without including him!"

However, before the naive young Maitreya could utter any lewd words, two ghostly figures appeared behind her, completely blocking out the bright moonlight from the doorway.

Uchiha Hikaru stared darkly at the couple in the room, his body emanating a tangible black aura.

Beside her, Uchiha Shinobu narrowed her eyes, a sinister smile on her face that sent chills down Uchiha Gin's spine. She gently covered Miroku's innocent and bewildered eyes, whispering in his ear...
"Little Maitreya, be good, close your eyes, this is just a dream." (End of Chapter)
