JJK: Developing my potential

After arriving in Nara Prefecture, Mei Mei and Megumi headed straight to the site where the council elders' grandchildren had been found unconscious.

When they arrived, they were met with an unexpectedly empty scene. After an exhaustive search of the area, they found nothing.

"This is strange. Everything is so… quiet. From the message the curse left, I expected it to have set up some kind of trap or something," Mei Mei remarked, a mix of confusion and frustration evident as she surveyed the site.

"There isn't even a single clue we can follow," she added, visibly exasperated.

"I agree, but the curse's message makes it clear it intended to face us," Megumi said, crossing his arms, deep in thought. "I suppose we'll have to track it."

"From its tone, it seemed like it would attack the moment we set foot here, but it hasn't. What are we missing?" Mei Mei threw the question into the air, frowning.

"Maybe it knew that, no matter where it was, we'd be able to track it, so it didn't leave any clues," Megumi suggested.

"Makes sense. I could track it in two ways: using my [Divine Dogs] or my cursed energy sensitivity. Thanks to the message it left, I can identify its energy signature. My detection range is currently ten kilometers. If I make a sweep through all of Nara, I should be able to find it."

"My crows could also track it if they spread out across the city," Mei Mei added thoughtfully.

Suddenly, the sorceress halted her musings and looked at Megumi seriously.

"If your theory is correct, and the curse knew we could find it, that's worrisome. It would mean it understands more than it lets on… And what if its technique does more than just drive people mad?" Mei Mei bit her lip slightly, trying to piece together the loose ends.

Though she tried to stay calm, the worry was evident on her face. Time was running out, and her brother was still in danger. If they didn't act quickly, he might end up like the Grade 2 sorcerer who had recently woken up, transformed into something unrecognizable.

She took a deep breath, closing her eyes for a moment to steady herself and make a sensible decision.

"All right… we won't accomplish anything by staying here. It's better to head to a hotel, drop off our belongings, and reorganize our strategy. Who knows? We might even run into the curse on the way," she finally said, her tone calmer but no less determined.

Megumi nodded and followed Mei Mei, who was already starting to leave the area.

Before leaving the scene, he discreetly summoned a new fusion of his shikigami that he had developed over the past four years: [Bat Camera]. Though less efficient at tracking than his usual methods, this shikigami provided an additional way to scout the surroundings.

[Bat Camera] was a fusion of [Rabbit Escape], [Nue], and [Tiger Funeral], resembling a bat. It retained the main abilities of the shikigami it was composed of, though its offensive capability was notably limited.

[Nara Prefecture: Hotel – Megumi and Mei Mei's Room]

"Ah!" Mei Mei let out a long sigh as she entered the hotel room, stretching her arms to relieve the tension built up throughout the day. The situation with the curse was taking a toll on both her mind and body.

Calling it a "room" didn't do it justice; it was more like a small apartment, complete with a kitchen, living room, bathroom, and bedroom, as well as a shower. Mei Mei set her luggage down by the door and turned to Megumi.

"I'm going to take a shower to relax. Feel free to unpack if you want," she said calmly as she headed to the bathroom.

"Sure," Megumi replied, pulling his luggage out of his [Shadow Inventory].

As he was organizing his things, Megumi noticed a curious detail: there was only one bed in the bedroom. A mischievous smile spread across his face. He raised his voice so Mei Mei could hear him from the shower.

"Hey, Mei, there's only one bed here."

"Ah, sorry about that," Mei Mei apologized from the bathroom, her voice muffled by the sound of running water. "I'm used to doing missions alone, so I booked the room automatically."

The explanation was sincere. Ever since she learned about her brother's condition, Mei Mei hadn't been entirely in control. The constant tension left her distracted and exhausted, something she was fully aware of but unable to remedy at the moment.

The only thing she could do was maintain a facade of calm and composure, but that role was beginning to weigh on her. Mei Mei longed for a moment of genuine release.

"Ah…" she sighed once again in the shower. She had lost count of how many times she'd done that today. Turning off the water, she dried herself and slipped into a comfortable negligee from her luggage.

With rhythmic yet slightly tense steps, she left the bathroom and headed to the bedroom, where Megumi was finishing organizing his belongings.

"Megumi-kun, are you done unpacking? We need to go find that curse as soon as possible," Mei Mei said as she entered with her usual composed demeanor, though her shoulders betrayed the stress she still carried.

Upon seeing her, Megumi immediately noticed that, despite having showered, she was still tense. This time, he decided to address the issue directly instead of trying to distract her as he had done on the plane. He resolved to tackle the problem head-on and, perhaps, make the most of the situation.

"Mei, you seem a bit tense. Are you okay?" he asked with genuine concern.

Mei Mei sighed, knowing there was no point in pretending.

"Ah… so you've noticed. Yes, I admit it, I'm not okay. This whole curse situation has me completely stressed out."

She let herself fall onto the bed and stretched out, trying to relieve some of the stiffness she felt.

"I suppose Gojo-san told you about my brother. I'm surprised you didn't bring it up during the flight."

"Yes, Satoru mentioned that your brother was also a victim of this curse. But I understood it was a sensitive topic, so I chose not to mention it. However, seeing you like this, pretending to be fine when you clearly aren't, I couldn't just stand by."

Mei Mei looked at him, a bit surprised by his thoughtfulness.

"I appreciate you not mentioning it earlier and your intention to help," she said sincerely. Then, getting up from the bed, she added, "But the only thing that would truly help me now is finding that curse and killing it. Let's leave immediately."

Before she could take a step, Megumi stopped her.

"Ah, no way. You're way too tense. If we head out now, we'll just be wasting time because you're not at your best."

Mei Mei frowned, but Megumi, wearing a confident smile, continued:

"I've got it. How about I give you a massage? Trust me, I'm really good at it."

The surprise on Mei Mei's face was evident, but Megumi wasn't lying. Before reincarnating as Fushiguro Megumi, back when he was Woon Gi, his partners often asked him for relaxing massages, and over time, he had perfected the skill. Since his reincarnation, his abilities had only improved—even Maki and Mai turned to him after intense training sessions to relieve their soreness.

For a moment, Mei Mei hesitated, but she finally relented with a sigh.

"Fine… anything to help get rid of this tension."

She lay face down on the bed, getting comfortable.

"Perfect! You won't regret it," Megumi said, preparing to begin the massage.

Megumi began massaging Mei Mei's neck, immediately noticing the tension accumulated in that area. With precision and care, he decided to apply a technique he had developed in this life: channeling the [Reverse Cursed Technique] through his hands. His fingers, firm yet gentle, worked on the stiffest points while releasing brief bursts of positive energy.

The warmth and softness of the reversed cursed energy flowed into Mei Mei's strained muscles, melting away the tension with almost magical efficiency. Each pulse not only relaxed her tissues but also stimulated her nerves, sending waves of relief and comfort throughout her body. Mei Mei closed her eyes, allowing herself to be enveloped by Megumi's touch, which transformed every pressure into a soothing balm for both her body and mind.

Megumi's hands moved with surprising skill, so much so that Mei Mei, completely relaxed, began to emit an involuntary purring sound, unable to hold back from how pleasurable the massage felt.

When Megumi finished with her neck, he slowly moved down to her shoulders, letting his fingers trace delicate lines that seemed to ignite Mei Mei's skin with an invisible fire. With a confident gesture, he slid down the straps of the silk nightgown that barely covered her, revealing her bare back.

"Megumi?" Mei Mei exclaimed, her voice tinged with confusion, though a hint of pleasure slipped into her tone, betraying her.

"For a proper massage, I need to touch your skin directly," Megumi whispered in her ear, his warm breath brushing against her neck. That simple phrase sent an electric shiver through Mei Mei's entire body, leaving her speechless.

"Ah~!" Mei Mei let out a deep, sincere moan, unable to hold back as she felt Megumi's touch on her back. Her eyes closed as she surrendered completely to the bliss his hands provided.

When Megumi's fingers slid near the edge of her breasts, barely grazing them, Mei Mei instinctively arched her back, her body silently begging for more, though the words remained trapped in her throat.

However, with an almost mischievous smile, Megumi moved straight to her feet, ignoring the areas where Mei Mei's warmth had gathered most intensely. That omission did not go unnoticed; a faint glimmer of disappointment crossed Mei Mei's eyes, though it quickly faded amidst the sighs of pleasure his skilled hands evoked as they worked delicately on her feet.

Every finger, every movement, seemed to have a purpose. Megumi's fingers slid between Mei Mei's toes, applying precise pressure that drew unexpected moans from her lips. His hands then slowly ascended her calves, his thumbs tracing lines that seemed to ignite her skin with a fiery touch.

"Ah~! Oooh~!" Mei Mei could barely contain herself, her moans growing louder and louder as Megumi worked her way up her thighs. Slowly, Megumi slid the bottom of Mei Mei's negligee down, exposing the wet evidence of her desire, her wet, hairy pussy seeming to invite him to take her without restraint.

Megumi focused on Mei Mei's thighs for a few minutes, and over time, her moans grew louder, echoing through the walls. It was when Megumi noticed a damp spot forming on the sheets that he realized he needed to step aside if he wanted to maximize the benefits of this interaction.

When Megumi's hands pulled away, Mei Mei, seized with desperation, spun on him with catlike agility, pushing him down on the bed. Her thighs caught his hips, her body completely turned on as she rubbed her crotch against him.

"Ah~!," Mei Mei gasped in pleasure as her crotch brushed against Megumi's.

"Megumi~! I need this.... If I want to stay focused to save my brother... I need you to make me yours~!," Mei Mei gasped, panting with desperation in her voice.

"Mei~! you don't know how much I want this~!", the tone in Megumi's voice was as passionate as Mei Mei's. "But it's not the time. You're too confused. You're so... vulnerable," Megumi replied as she caressed her face and brushed aside a lock of her hair to get a better look at her.

"Please~, " The plea in Mei Mei's voice was heartbreaking, her eyes full of need and absolute surrender. She had found a way to release, if only for a moment, the confusing feelings that plagued her, and she didn't want to waste it, even if it meant offering her precious virginity to Megumi.

"Listen~," Megumi began, leaning towards her. "Let's find that curse first. If, after that, you still want this, you'll get it. But..." She let her lips brush Mei Mei's, pausing a millimeter away from deepening the kiss. "If you decide to give me all of you, you'll be mine. Not for a little while, Mei, but forever."

Mei Mei nodded slowly, her breath still ragged, her eyes filled with a mixture of frustration and longing.

"Very good~," "Good girl~," "Here's your prize~, " Megumi whispered in her ear, then kissed her on the lips and plunged two of his fingers, charged with positive energy, inside her wet pussy.

"Aaaaaaaaah~!"

Mei Mei's moan as she cummed was so loud it echoed throughout the hotel.
