Rai boldly lead Yuki and little Taki by the hands and inside the bathhouse.
Once again, the two Samurai felt an overwhelming wave of sensual desire wash over them; as if the Yori had doubled, or even tripled, its powers to tempt them. Perhaps, while it could not see Yuki or Rai, it still knew that Udo and Miya were standing outside the bathhouse and had prepared for them in some way.
Steeling themselves with all the discipline of their Samurai station, and focusing their minds on the task at hand, Yuki and Rai ignored the powerful draw the bathhouse now radiated.
The disgusting Yori meanwhile, turned to regard the little boy entering with his blindfold, and hissed – “A child?!? This is no place for a child! Be gone with it immediately!!!”
Then a number of thralls disengaged from their vile activates and schlepped over toward the unsuspecting boy with depraved intentions – but at Yuki’s prompting, Taki uttered the Virtuous Rebuke before they could get to him.
Instantly, there was a collective gasp from the Yori and all the villagers present in the bathhouse.
The Yori cried out – “No!!! I have yet to be satisfied!!! No!!! Aeeeiiii!!!” before fading away like the steam rising from the heated pools. Subsequently, the pools themselves, and finally the entire bathhouse, washed away into the early evening air, evaporating into nothingness before the Samurai’s eyes.
When the bathhouse was gone, the villagers abruptly came to their senses and stood in frozen shock at what they had been engaged in. A moment later, a wailing went up from the women, who cried grievously at their embarrassment, while the men who were present just hung their heads in shame and began to look for their wives among the throng.
Taki meanwhile, stood there blindfolded, obviously confused by the sounds he was hearing – “Why are they all crying?” he asked innocently.
