p.3
Myouren Temple
……Haah…
Byaaakuren!
Nue…
You’re stiiill sighing ever since New Year?
So glooomy

p.4
I’m so bored that even New Year can’t cheer me up.
…Besides, Nue
Why are you here?
It’s bad to leave Murasa by herself, you know?
Hmm?
Just out for some fresh air
I’m tired after eating and sleeping too much
Everyone’s having a good time, huh
You all have a partner to spend the New Year’s Eve away
I’m the only one left by myself
Why don’t you just go to Snake-chan’s place?
I already went there…
And that curse goddess told me to scram right away…
Haaa~~aaah

p.5
And so you’re alone, huh
Can’t help it, I guess
Yes, all alone
I can’t help it
But you know, isn’t this a good opportunity?
Don’t humans usually return to their real home on New Year?
Then why not go back home?
……?
What are you talking about?
This here is my home.
Well, yeeeah. That’s true.
But what I meant is the “other” one
You have one, right, Byakuren?
A place to go back to…
One other “home”
…………

p.7
Motheeer~!
We got a strange guest!
…guest?

p.8
Pleased to meet you, Goddess of Makai…
My name
is Hijiri Byakuren…
Eh
Eh?
EEH!??

p.9
You’re… a human?
Are you by yourself?
Yes
Why are you here in Makai?
On an ascetic training perhaps?
No, she’s nooot!
She was persecuted by bad humans…
And then got sealed here in Makai!
Yes…
*sniff*
Those humans are so cruel, aren’t they!?
Don’t you feel sorry for her!?
Persecuted…?
…that’s so unfortunate……
Riiight?
This is why humans are such…

p.10
I was persecuted
and driven away to Makai…
And then they set up a powerful seal
Lustful Demon Exorcism
specifically to lock me away…
I can’t undo it no matter how I tried.
And now… I can no longer return to my home.
My…
That’s so heartbreaking …
………
O, noble Goddess of Makai…
You wouldn’t mind showing your compassion…
to this shunned person, would you?

p.11
―a benevolent being
…are you not?

p.12
Mother is nice to everyone!
Even towards humans, right, mother?
…I can’t return to the outside world
And I have no place to stay
If it won’t be a bother,
I would be glad if you’d allow me to live here in Makai…
S…
Sure, I don’t mind…
You have my gratitude
Yaaay!
That’s great, isn’t it!?
Mother is so kiiind!

p.13
Now then, let’s start by picking your house!
We gotta prepare the furniture as well.
Hey hey, how do humans usually live anyway?
………
From the outside world, huh…
…A human……

p.15
―It’s been only a few days
Since you ended up in Makai…
*Kthk*
But you already got along nicely with everyone.

p.16
They don’t distant themselves from me even though I am human…
The curiosity and kindness of those children…
are what helped me accomplish that
You’re one strange human
There’s nothing but youkai and demons here in Makai…
But you aren’t intimidated in the least
My, that’s because…
I was driven away from the outside world
since I was being too kind to the youkai

p.17
…In that case,
It’s fine to stay here as long as you want
I won’t allow anyone to hurt you anymore
Because I will protect you

p.18
All the girls that live here in Makai
Everyone
Are my daughters, after all
*Ba-dumb*
………
And I originally just wanted to mess around a bit…
*Stands*
…?

p.19
…you said
You call everyone in Makai your daughters?
*Thmp*
Yes
They are all my real daughters
As a Goddess
they are lives that I created myself
But everyone are my real daughters, born from me
Amazing…
…You gave birth to a lot of them, huh.
Hm-hm. It’s the work of a God
―Still
That’s a relief
?
What is?

p.20
That means
I…
Don’t have any love rivals, right?
……?
Love rivals?
………
………!!!

p.21
Shinki,
You…
Have never experienced love before, right?
Ah……
In addition,
You’ve never communicate with anyone other than your daughters, have you?
That’s why
Ever since the moment our eyes met
You’ve been
Painfully aware of me, right?
…I will teach you what love is
So Shinki
Will you bestow to me, your first love?

p.22
―……!
I… I may be inexperienced, but…
Please take good care of me…!

p.23
Hm-hm
I will

p.24
*Blank Stare*
Lady Shinkiii?
Are you awaaake?
I’m awake…
I
think….
*sigh*
…Good grief!

p.25
How many days have I been asleep this time…?
Honestly!
It’s already been more than 10 days!
You sleep way too much!
But if I’m asleep, I can meet Byakuren in my dream…
You know how many years have past,
while you keep muttering that!
If you want to meet her, then go out and meet her!
Uh……

p.26
Well, I am the Goddess of Makai...
And I can’t possibly left Makai unattended, so…
I can’t help it, right…
*Irritated*
……Lady Shinki can just fly there at full speed!
Going to the outside world will only take you but a moment!
You’re awfully persistent today, Yumeko-chan~
If…
Just if, okay?
If I go there to meet her…
And I see Byakuren…
Doing things like… cheating on me, for instance…

p.27
That, huh?  Well…
We’re talking about that Lustful Demon God here
She most likely does
Maybe around one or two hundred mistresses…
Then,
suppose that is the case…
If I were to…
Eradicate all living things in the outside world…
Will Byakuren come back here again…?
Goddess of Makai
Please calm yourself down,
Goddess of Makai
Motheeer?
Are you awakeee?
Our guest have come back, you know
Hm~…?
Our guest…?
………
……guest…?
…come back…?

p.28
―Oh, my?
Did I wake you up?
…Byakuren…?
……Byakuren…!!

p.29
Shinki
It’s been a lo…
Byakuren!!
Byakuren…!
*sniff*
Yes
Byakuren…
Byakuren~…!!
Yes
I am right here with you
Byakureeen…
Alright, time to go
Okaaay

p.30
Shinki’s scent
and warmth…
They’re just like old times…
It really calms me down…
p.31
Without a doubt…
This right here…
is my home……
―so
Ever since I went out, you’re always…?
…yes……

p.32
I spent every days… sleeping the whole time
Good grief
Well, that’s because!
I can’t bear to wait when I’m awake!
And I could at least meet you within my dreams!
Hm-hm…
What about you, Byakuren?
Why didn’t you ever came back?
I didn’t have the time…
…though that’s just a front
The truth is
I was afraid to come back to Makai

p.33
Why so?
Murasa, Shou and Ichirin…
Those girls have yearned for me dearly over a thousand years
And that one thought was what brought them all the way here to Makai
Having met those girls
And spending our lives together
Are the reason I think of the outside world as my home
…barring a certain someone.
Their noble spirits
Are what helped me go through all this…
That’s why
I don’t want them to know I am here like this

p.34
Thinking that the Makai I’ve stayed in for a thousand years…
Thinking that being by your side…
As the home I am supposed to be
…would be an insult to their pure feelings
Then that means…
We’ll be separated again after this…?
―…That just now
Was from the point of view of me, as their beloved Chief Priest of Myouren Temple
…eh?

p.35
But as a single human…
the one I wish to be on my side
is you, Shinki
To be by your side is where I belong

p.36
Therefore
From now on, I’ll find some time and come back here
Really!?
I promise
I can’t tell this to the others
So there might be some times where I couldn’t make it
It’s alright!
I understand how you feel about them
And you said being by my side is where you belong too
So it’s alright!
I’ll wait for you no matter how long it’ll take!

p.37
This whole Makai is your house, Byakuren
And being by my side is your home
Yes
―Byakuren
“Welcome home”

p.38
Here I’ve returned
Makai
And I am home
My dear,
Shinki

p.39
Since we love each other so much, there’s no need to worry about being unfaithful, right!?
*GULP*
Y-Yeah, of course!

p.40
Thank you for reading till the end!
Do you have the hots for girls
with strong motherly vibe?
