"Boss, there are clearly fish here." Watching the large fish bite effortlessly, Marisa was dumbfounded.
'Wasn't this supposed to be easy?'
Beside her, Reimu was practically hauling in fish like she was stocking inventory—some even leaped into her bucket on their own, leaving Marisa utterly stunned.
"Boss, is it because your face is too— Eek— Aah! I won't say it anymore!"
Feeling the sensitivity gradually increasing, Marisa immediately stopped her teasing.
Though the intensity wasn't as high as before, the slow, creeping escalation made the tingling even more unbearable.
Rin shot her a sidelong glance. Not only did he not stop, he instead reached under her arms and lifted her up like holding a cat.
"Nngh— Y-You… stop… Mmm~ Hah— S-So many people are watching… Aah~! D-Don't touch… my… ticklish spots… Uu~" Marisa let out a pitiful whimper, but she couldn't resist as Rin pulled her into his lap.
His breath, so close, felt like a sinister push toward the abyss, relentlessly assaulting her fragile defenses.
As Marisa half-heartedly struggled, she suddenly noticed something and froze.
Beside them, Reimu also seemed to be reacting to something, her hands clenched tightly around her skirt as her body curled up slightly.
A seductive blush crept from the tips of her ears, quickly spreading across her face.
Noticing Marisa and Rin's puzzled gazes, Reimu awkwardly turned away and mumbled.
"Ahem… Uh, maybe I ate too much breakfast… my stomach feels a little weird."
"..." Rin seemed to have guessed something and silently called out to the Sage.
『 Reimu's Today's Rotating Punishment: Shared Sensation 』
『 Bind Target: Marisa 』
'Is Marisa some kind of Gensokyo WiFi router? Why are all the empathy signals connected to her...?' Rin's expression turned complicated as he poked Marisa's cheek.
"Marisa, one day, you're going to be second only to one yet above ten thousand."
"???" Marisa stared at him blankly.
Though she didn't understand what he meant, she was already on the verge of collapse from the stimulation.
Almost instinctively, she nuzzled against him, only to immediately draw a sharp glare from the side.
'Marisa, you damn cat, don't you dare go too far in broad daylight!' Reimu glared at Marisa furiously, 'This damn mutt was actually enjoying it?!'
But her stare only reminded Marisa of last night's thrill, separated by just a door, making her breathing grow uncontrollably ragged.
'Dammit, it must be the boss using some kind of weird magic! My tastes are getting messed up!' While mentally shifting the blame, she weakly slumped into Rin's arms, pretending not to see Reimu's murderous gaze.
Outwardly, the two just looked like an affectionate couple fishing together, nothing too extreme.
But Reimu could feel it, a certain hand had stealthily slipped under Marisa's skirt, gently rubbing and kneading her stomach.
The strange, warm sensation nearly drove Reimu insane, but she forced herself to prop up her chin, feigning drowsiness.
Even so, her body trembled uncontrollably, sweat soaking through her clothes.
'You damn couple, I swear—!! Just wait till I get my chance, I'll make sure you regret this!!!'
"Nngh~!"
Despite her internal screaming, Reimu couldn't suppress a soft whimper.
As her breathing grew completely erratic, her face took on a dazed expression.
Once she finally regained her senses, her murderous intent toward Marisa and Rin skyrocketed.
And she wasn't the only one. Back at the shop, Patchouli shared the same sentiment.
Gasping weakly on the table, she kept her eyes tightly shut, not daring to look at Ran, who was brewing tea across from her.
"Patchy, are you feeling unwell? Here, have some hot tea to calm down."
Unaware of the real situation, Ran thought Patchouli might be sick and quickly helped her sit up, bringing the tea to her lips.
But as she got closer, she caught a faint, familiar scent.
It was like… the instinctive arousal of beasts in spring…
'Patchy, just how desperate are you?!' Ran's face flushed slightly, but she pretended not to notice as she tended to the disoriented Patchouli.
Meanwhile, the culprit, Rin, stared at his motionless fishing rod with a complicated expression.
'I must be cursed, right? Tried everything, from soft and hard… but not a single bite?!'
Meanwhile, Reimu, completely dazed from the teasing, had long abandoned her rod—yet fish kept leaping into her bucket like they were rushing to their deaths.
Before long, it was completely full.
Rin: "..."
"Boss, stop staring~, No matter how much you look, no fish will— Nngh!!!" Marisa instinctively tried to tease him again, but overwhelming stimulation instantly cut her off, her hands clutching his clothes desperately.
"Y-You… don't tug… I was… just… ngh~… telling the truth… I'm gonna lose it… Uu~" Unable to hold back, Marisa suddenly bit Rin's arm, her whole body trembling violently.
Beside them, Reimu toppled off her stool, weakly crawling toward her mother figure.
'These two are beyond saving. I'm definitely killing them later!!!'
The former shrine maiden noticed Reimu's strange behavior and blinked in confusion.
'What's gotten into this child now?'
Before she could figure it out, Rumia sidled up to her.
"Mama~ I want an apple!"
"Alright, alright. Here, remember to share with Cirno and the others."
The former shrine maiden smiled warmly, feeding Rumia a small piece before handing her a plate of sliced apples.
Rumia nodded obediently before happily skipping away.
By the time the elder shrine maiden looked back, Reimu had collapsed mid-crawl, lying motionless on the ground.
"She… Wh-What's… Hah~… happening?" Marisa also asked hazily.
Though her terrifying adaptability kept her from passing out like Reimu, she wasn't much better off, her eyes were glazed and unfocused.
"Maybe she got too lucky fishing and pissed off the heavens."
"Uwah~ The jealousy in your voice is practically dripping… Aah~Nngh—!"
