Chapter 294 About to be ostracized

"all in all!"

Miya, disapproving of their carefree attitude, completely unaware that a crisis involving men had infiltrated the pure Mikazuki Temple, slammed her hand on the wooden table in front of her. The crisp sound drew everyone's attention to her. Her sharp gaze swept across the room before she coughed lightly with satisfaction and concluded, "That man is our common enemy, the common enemy of the temple. We must find a way to drive him out and restore Mikazuki Temple to its former glory."

"Uh, he's really persistent,"

Kagura tilted her head, as usual contradicting her master: "Miya, are you so sure he's a bad guy?"

"Does that need to be said?"

Meiya snorted coldly: "It's pretty obvious what a man is thinking when he wants to join a nunnery full of young girls."

Kagura thought for a moment, then said, "What if he really is here to train, just like he said?"

"Then isn't that the same goal as mine? How could that be?"

Meiya scoffed, a slight smile curving her delicate lips, revealing a cold and alluring beauty that involuntarily made people tense. She confidently raised her head and said, "If he really came here just for cultivation, I'll do anything for him."

Kagura stopped arguing, because she didn't believe that a man would enter a nunnery full of beautiful girls just to train; such a thing was simply illogical.

"Surprisingly, no one objected,"

Seeing that no one spoke, Aoba Tsukiyo stood up as if to chair a meeting and begin her summary: "Then..."

"I object!"

Upon hearing this, Aoba Kaigetsu immediately raised her hand high, her attitude very clear.

"Then one vote against, one abstention, and two votes in favor,"

Aoba Tsukiyo's forehead immediately creased with annoyance, and she said expressionlessly, "2:1, the plan to maintain the stability of the temple is established."

"it is good."

Mei Ya crossed her arms and nodded in satisfaction.

Kagura looked around in confusion, then raised her hand and asked Tsukiyo, "Chairman, I have a question."

"Councilor Kagura, please speak."

Aoba Tsukiyo was very satisfied with the title of Speaker and extended her hand.

"I remember there's more than just this person here at our temple, right? Where's Abbess Xixi, and Miss Yuzuki?"

Kagura looked at the empty room and said, "Shouldn't they be there to vote on such an important decision?"

"That's what's troubling me,"

Upon hearing this, Cang Ye Yueye sighed deeply, propped her chin up, puffed out her lips, and said with distress, "I don't know what kind of spell that man has cast on Xi Xi and Jie Yue. One of them insisted on keeping him in the temple and even stopped me from going up to talk to him, while the other treated him very well and even wanted to take him with her to cultivate. If they were here, they would definitely agree to let that person stay in the temple, so I didn't tell them."

"Oh, I see. I understand now."

Kagura suddenly realized, and put her hands together, saying, "Isn't this troublesome? If both of them agree, then the vote of all the temple members should be..."

"One abstention, two votes in favor,"

Kagura held up one finger to indicate herself, then held up another finger to indicate Miya and Tsukiyo who supported the expulsion, and then held up three fingers: "Three votes against is right, so the total score is 3:2, and Hayakawa-kun should be able to stay."

"this…"

Aoba Tsukiyo panicked immediately, turning her head away guiltily and muttering softly, "Sister Xixi and Sister Jieyue are not normal now. They've been bewitched by that man and their opinions have been skewed. I don't think they're capable of making a rational vote right now, so they shouldn't be allowed to participate in this vote for the time being..."

"I think it's Miss Moonlight, your butt is a bit crooked,"

Kagura smiled and said, "Your prejudice is written all over your face."

A blush crept across Aoba Tsukiyo's face as she whispered, "No, I didn't..."

"What 3:2? It should be 3:3!"

Seeing that her friend's momentum had weakened, Miya immediately stepped forward without hesitation, looking down at Kagura with great confidence and saying, "Kagura, you should also vote for me. You are my follower, and followers should obey their masters!"

"Sorry, I'm a realist. I have to see things for myself before I do them."

"What did you say!"

"Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear..."

The master and servant next to them were arguing and soon even started fighting. Mia leaned forward and tried to pin Kagura down and bully her, but Kagura calmly and easily stopped her. However, she still resisted and made violent movements. Her hem was lifted up, her clothes were wrinkled, her slender waist twisted and her fragrant shoulders were exposed. Her sweet panting and full breasts swayed constantly, making Haiyue roll her eyes repeatedly.

Springtime suddenly appeared beside her, but Cangye Yueye paid no attention to it. Instead, she sat there with a slightly gloomy expression, her brows furrowed, her mood complicated and aggrieved, filled with bitter emotions.

Actually... she wasn't such a harsh man. She could see that Hayakawa wanted to stay here. She wasn't the kind of bad person who liked to cause trouble for others. Although it was a bit uncomfortable for a man to have another member in the temple, he wouldn't go to great lengths to stop it. After all, she didn't have misogyny like Mia. With so many rooms in the temple, as long as they didn't interfere with each other, taking up a guest room was no big deal.

But Hayakawa alone isn't enough...

That morning, I heard a knock on the door. When I went to the door, I was about to ask what was wrong, but I heard a faint, exhausted breathing sound coming from outside. I instinctively thought it was a starving homeless person or an injured person, so I immediately opened the door to help. However, my good intentions were not rewarded. Not only was I hugged and taken advantage of, but I was also said some inexplicable and lewd things.

Having gone through such an ordeal, Miss Tsukiyo naturally felt wronged, but even so, she was willing to be kind and forgive him. After all, who hasn't made mistakes? She was young, beautiful, and had a great figure; she was a radiant young woman in the prime of her life. If that person couldn't control his desires and hugged her, as long as he apologized properly, Aoba Tsukiyo wouldn't be unable to forgive him.

But the problem is... Hayakawa didn't apologize at all, not even a little bit. He even acted like nothing had happened when he woke up. When I couldn't stand it anymore and complained to him, he actually told Yuzuki-nee that he was not a person who was suitable for a quiet place like a temple after I left. How could Aoba Tsukiyo accept this person becoming a member of the temple?

It's utterly shameless. They did such a despicable thing without any remorse, and even had the audacity to blame themselves as the victim.

Cang Ye Yueye gritted her teeth, her eyes turning slightly red, and thought bitterly to herself.

I would never approve of this person.

Chapter 295 The People in the Temple

Following the corridor to the end of the Mikazuki-ji Temple's accommodation floor, we arrived at the place where the temple staff usually ate. Like the rest of the temple, it looked very shabby and dilapidated. There was only a solid wooden table and a few chairs of the same color on the dusty, broken floor, and it was obvious that they hadn't been replaced in a long time. A small door led outside, and it seemed that the kitchen was not indoors.

There was no one here at the moment, except for Hayakawa, who had just walked in. He was slightly taken aback when he saw the empty room, and then found a chair in the corner to sit down.

For Hayakawa, whether or not to eat breakfast is irrelevant. He often misses a meal or two because he is so engrossed in his studies at home that he doesn't eat or sleep. So he's basically used to it. What he eats isn't important to him, let alone the environment of the restaurant. Compared to this breakfast, Hayakawa would rather skip this time and start his wonderful training time.

However, Aoba Yuzuki said that she would introduce him to the other members of the temple at breakfast. Considering that he would be staying at Mikazuki Temple for an unknown period of time and would probably be spending some time with the people in the temple, Hayakawa could only choose to endure it for the time being, even though he was not very willing.

Let's play along a little.

Hayakawa leaned back in his chair in silence. As soon as he sat down, he naturally reached into his pocket to take out his vocabulary book, but found nothing. He froze on the spot.

Two seconds later, he slowly withdrew his hand.

They'd all forgotten... that they no longer needed to study while in the temple.

"..."

Hayakawa pursed his lips, then placed his hand on the table with a hint of unease. His knuckles tapped erratically on the surface, and his expression shifted, revealing a strange sense of anxiety.

So much free time...

Normally, when he sits down, he would naturally take out a book to read. Even if he wasn't studying or resting, he would take out his phone to watch videos. The videos he usually watched were mostly high school problems and English words. But now, he had neither textbooks nor a phone with him. Now that he was sitting down to rest so abruptly, he didn't know what he should do.

hateful…

What did I do when I wasn't studying or resting?

Hayakawa frowned and began to think deeply. Then it dawned on him that the last time he didn't study was in the third grade of elementary school, and he had been doing so ever since.

Has it really been that long...?

Hayakawa's deep eyes dimmed slightly, revealing a somber expression, and he pursed his lips, remaining silent.

So many years have passed, so much effort has been put in, but in the end, it's all for nothing...

Silently raising his head, Hayakawa stared blankly at the rickety ceiling and the broken light bulb above him.

Old bridge... Ogata...

What are they doing now?

Did you eat breakfast properly? Will you be able to catch the train to another city? And Ogata, if I hadn't urged her, would she have finished her holiday homework?

Even after you're gone, don't slack off on your studies...

"Ugh…"

Hayakawa's chaotic thoughts drifted down like snowflakes, finally settling into a sigh. Ogata Riju's words from that time still echoed in his ears, repeating endlessly in his mind.

"Are you going to abandon us...?"

give up…

Hayakawa narrowed his eyes, sharpening them to conceal his fluctuating emotions. Just then, a girl's voice came from beside him.

"Hello."

A gentle voice suddenly rang in his ear, startling Hayakawa so much that he trembled and instinctively turned his head to look.

A lovely young girl with exquisitely beautiful and defined features, dressed in an elegant black robe and a small red bow tie, is smiling at her and gently says, "Good morning, Mr. Hayakawa...right?"

The two were standing quite close. Hayakawa frowned and almost sat up in his chair, his voice slightly cold as he asked, "Who... are you?"

"My name is Kagura, and I'm also a member of Mikazuki Temple. Yesterday, I heard from Yuzuki-chan that a new trainee had joined the temple, and that he was a boy, so I got up early specifically to come and see him."

Kagura smiled slightly, looked Hayakawa up and down, and showed an expression of amazement and admiration: "This is the first time I've seen you. How should I put it, you're very handsome, and you have a great physique. You have a kind of aristocratic air about you."

"Uh... thank you."

Hayakawa's forehead creased with a slight embarrassment, but he still nodded politely.

For him, compliments about his appearance, height, or physique wouldn't make him this happy, but if someone praised his hard work in his studies or his strong will, that would be a different story.

"I hope we can get along well at Mikazuki-ji Temple from now on."

Kagura gently extended her hand to Hayakawa, a slight smile on her face, and said softly, "After all, you've been resting at the temple for quite a while."

"Thank you."

Hayakawa stood up and grasped Kagura's soft, boneless hand, then let go.

"Hayakawa-kun, ah, and Kagura too, you've already met them."

Aoba Yuzuki walked in from the doorway and her eyes lit up when she saw Kagura and Hayakawa sitting together. She said, "Then I probably don't need to introduce you two, right?"

"Hmm, no need, Yuzuki-chan."

Kagura covered her mouth and chuckled softly, saying, "I already know Hayakawa-kun."

Hayakawa remained silent, her gaze falling on the girl who had just entered. She had changed into a blue-gray monk's robe, the loose and unremarkable garment looking perfectly appropriate on her.

Hayakawa felt a little envious. He also hoped that he would look good in the temple clothes, but when he looked in the mirror before and saw himself in monk's robes, he felt that he didn't look right at all and that his temperament didn't match.

"In that case, you may sit down and wait."

Cangye Yuzuki smiled and said, "I'll go prepare breakfast for you. You can talk about whatever you want. We can start eating once everyone is here."

……

Not long after, everyone in the temple had arrived. After a brief introduction, Hayakawa got to know all the members of Mikazuki-ji Temple, at least he remembered their names.

First, there was the core abbess, Xixi, whom Hayakawa kept in mind. Apart from her unusually large breasts, Hayakawa respected her greatly and wished she could treat her as a master. She sat next to Hayakawa and gently served her food, so attentive that Hayakawa felt a little uncomfortable.

Secondly, there are the three daughters of the former abbot of the temple, who is also a friend of her mother, Aoba Tsukina—the Aoba Three Sisters: the eldest sister Aoba Yuzuki, the second sister Aoba Tsukiyo, and the youngest sister Aoba Kaigetsu, who is still in junior high school.

They were sitting at a rather delicate distance from me, neither too far nor too close, with Aoba Yuzuki being a little nicer to me.

Chapter 296 Isolated and Miserable

Although Aoba Kaigetsu didn't speak to him, she often secretly looked at him with curious eyes. Considering the questions Kaigetsu had asked him before, Hayakawa felt that Kaigetsu's attitude towards him was neither good nor bad.

The first two sisters were fine, but the last one was a problem. Noticing the way Aoba Tsukiyo was staring at him, Hayakawa seriously suspected that she was born with a fierce look in her eyes. Otherwise, why would she sometimes look at him with such a look that seemed to want to tear people to pieces?

Besides this person, there was also the girl Kagura whom he had just met, and the master whom Kagura mentioned as his attendant, who was also the only girl he had never met before—Mia, whose full name was Mia Christov.

She was petite, only half a head taller than Haiyue, a middle school student. She wore cute and charming pigtails, but had a great figure. Her pretty face had exquisite features, but despite her cute face, she frowned and tilted her head back with her snow-white chin, which made her look arrogant. Her bright red lips were pursed in a mean way, and her gaze towards others seemed to be born with a disdainful scrutiny.

At this moment, she was staring at Hayakawa with the same look as Aoba Tsukiyo, even more hostile, and while staring, she was chewing her food vigorously, as if she were biting Hayakawa's flesh.

If gazes were knives, Hayakawa would have been torn to pieces long ago; Mia's eyes were just as fierce.

Hayakawa noticed Mia's gaze from the side. He didn't really want to eat to begin with, and seeing this scene made him even more nauseous. He had no idea when he had offended anyone.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was extremely awkward. Very few people spoke, and those who did were mostly just politely replying to others. It was as if an invisible shackle was binding everyone, making no one at the table dare to speak. Even if someone did speak, they could only offer some formulaic pleasantries.

Hayakawa heard the question "How's the weather outside today?" more than two or three times.

How's the weather outside?
