Chapter 292 Cultivation Begins

Hayakawa's dim and lifeless will shone brightly once more. He held the clothes in his hands with a devout expression, gently stroking them as if he were caressing a young girl's skin.

However, at that moment, middle school student Aoba Kaigetsu suddenly asked from the side, "Mr. Hayakawa..."

"What's wrong, Miss Haiyue?"

Hayakawa, her fighting spirit renewed, was in a good mood. She looked down at the middle school girl in front of her with a gentle tone and asked in an adult-like manner, "Is there something you need?"

"I would like to ask you, Mr. Hayakawa,"

Aoba Kaigetsu looked up, her emerald green eyes fixed on Hayakawa, and tilted her head, asking in a dazed tone, "Have you ever been in love?"

"Cough cough!"

Hayakawa nearly choked, coughing several times before finally catching his breath. He stared at the girl in front of him in shock: "What are you talking about?"

Is this a question a middle school student should be asking? Things like dating shouldn't be discussed until after graduating from university.

"It's love."

Aoba Kaigetsu looked at Hayakawa with the curiosity of a child, sitting in the chair with her hands supporting her chin and looking at Hayakawa expectantly: "Tell me about it, about love."

"I don't want to,"

Hayakawa's expression turned cold, and she resolutely refused, saying, "And why are you asking me? If you want to know, go ask your sister or Abbess Xixi."

This attitude was already terrible, especially for a middle school girl. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was scared to tears. However, Aoba Haiyue's expression did not change in the slightest because of Hayakawa's tone. She raised her chin like a small, expressionless doll and said matter-of-factly, "Neither Yuzuki-nee nor Tsukiyo-nee have ever been in a relationship. They don't even have a close male friend. Hee-hee-nee is even more useless. She's over 20 years old and still single. Even if I ask them about relationships, I won't get any answers. They'll just tell me, 'Kids, don't understand this. You'll understand when the time comes.'"

I think they're right.

Hayakawa's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He said, "So, why did you come to me to ask?"

"Because you fainted at the temple entrance this morning, and when I saw your expression at that time, your brows were furrowed, and you looked exhausted and sad, I felt..."

Cangye Haiyue paused for a moment, her eyes shining and her expression shifting slightly as she said, "She seems like someone with a story to tell!"

"Hmmmm?"

Hayakawa was immediately filled with confusion, looking at Aoba Kaigetsu with a strange expression.

"Isn't this just like the plot of a TV series? After being heartbroken, they come to a temple to escape their emotions and seek enlightenment, and finally achieve complete enlightenment."

Aoba Kaigetsu's eyes were full of longing: "I think you must have suffered a setback in your love life, which is why you came to the temple. You're heartbroken!"

Hayakawa: "..."

It wasn't heartbreak at all. I did suffer some emotional trauma, and I came to the temple to escape and gain enlightenment, but it had nothing to do with heartbreak. If I had to say what I was hurt by, it would be "learning injury."

"Not at all."

Hayakawa waved his hand, his expression aloof, and said, "I have never been in a relationship, nor do I have any desire to be in one. You've asked the wrong person."

Why are you so proud?

Aoba Kaigetsu looked at Hayakawa suspiciously, trying to tell if he was telling the truth, but finally said helplessly, "Abbess Hiki and Yuzuki told me to rest well today and prepare to start my training tomorrow."

"really?"

Hayakawa's eyes narrowed, and his expression instantly became serious. He said in a deep voice, "I understand. I will get some rest. Thank you, Miss Haiyue."

"It's nothing. Since the message has been delivered, I'll head back now."

Aoba Haiyue shook her head and turned to leave. But as she reached the door, she suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to Hayakawa, saying, "By the way, Mia-nee and Kagura-nee just came back from outside. They and Tsukiyo-nee heard about your training at the temple and they all wanted to... they all wanted to get to know you, but Yuzuki-nee stopped them."

Another woman?

Hayakawa's brows furrowed instantly, like a knotted rope. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Miya, and Kagura, are they also members of the temple?"

“Yes, Mia is of mixed foreign descent, and Kagura is her friend, or perhaps her older sister. They came to our Mikazuki Temple from abroad to train a year ago, much earlier than you.”

Cangye Haiyue said meaningfully, "Now that they see a new person coming to the temple to cultivate, they are all interested in getting to know him."

"Is that so?"

Hayakawa sighed helplessly and said, "I understand, Miss Haizuki. Thank you for telling me this."

"It's alright, I'll be going now."

Aoba Kaigetsu nodded and left, leaving Hayakawa alone in the room.

Hayakawa stood in the center of the room, his expression shifting between light and shadow under the ceiling light for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "Never mind, let's rest first."

He hesitated for a moment, then lay back down on the bed, slowly closed his eyes, and drifted into a dream.

Silent all night.

……

The early morning has passed, and dawn has arrived. The first rays of light and warmth of the world cross the mountaintops, piercing through the veil of clouds and revealing their unparalleled brilliance as they penetrate the mist. Unbeknownst to many, the smog has vanished without a trace, and the city's silhouette is revealed in the light. The unparalleled brilliance and vibrant colors of the morning adorn the surfaces of the skyscrapers, and a new day begins.

Hayakawa opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep. He propped himself up with his hands and sat up. He looked around in a daze and realized once again that he was in his dormitory.

"call…"

Hayakawa took a deep breath and said to himself, "Then let's do our best."

After washing up, Hayakawa left her room and walked along the corridor looking for the people in the temple. Touching the distinct wood grain of the temple's interior walls, Hayakawa felt a mix of emotions.

It was the first time I woke up early without studying, and I felt a bit out of sorts... How should I put it? I felt like my whole body, including my scalp, was itchy, and I kept trying to memorize something.

What kind of disease is this... that you'll die if you don't study?

Am I being held back by my studies?

Hayakawa walked along the road with some distress, thinking to himself, "I came to the temple to overcome my inner demons and strengthen my resolve, but I couldn't control myself on the very first day?"

As they were walking, the door next to them suddenly opened, and Aoba Yuzuki came out.

"Good morning, Hayakawa-kun."

Aoba Yuzuki, who had just gotten up, yawned and greeted Hayakawa: "You're up really early."

"..."

Hayakawa glanced at the stunningly beautiful girl, whose clothes were disheveled and whose breasts swayed slightly with her robe half undone, and fell into deep thought with his eyes narrowed.

New troubles have arisen.

Chapter 293 Major Crisis

Good morning, Hayakawa-kun.

The stunningly beautiful, disheveled nun rubbed her eyes and greeted Hayakawa sweetly, "You're up so early!"

Hayakawa: "..."

Hayakawa's gaze silently swept over a certain unsightly bulge, and he felt a strong sense of déjà vu. It seemed that he had encountered this situation often before, and it seemed that nothing had changed now that he was at the temple.

Hayakawa, with a straight face, calmly replied, "Good morning, Ms. Yuzuki."

"Yeah, because there's so much to do every day,"

Aoba Yuzuki stretched, then smiled at Hayakawa: "Today, Hihi-nee will be arranging a training plan for you. It will be very difficult, so if you find it difficult, please..."

After hesitating for a moment, Yuzuki said softly, "Hayakawa-kun, although we said we hoped to give you a good training experience and let you feel the charm of Mikazuki-ji Temple so that we could ask your mother for help to break the charm of the temple, the training involves the temple's dignity and faith, and it will not change, so it will still be very hard. I hope you don't mind."

It's tough? If it's not tough, then what's the point of going through all that trouble to get here?

"Do not worry."

Hayakawa was very satisfied and said, "I came here specifically for complete spiritual practice and my yearning for the complete Buddhist teachings. Please come on over."

"I think so too. After all, Hayakawa-kun meditated under the waterfall and even tried to hang himself... He can say things like 'suffocation training,' so he probably won't mind."

Cang Ye Yuyue seemed to want to laugh, but she still forced a serious expression and said, "Sister Xixi told me that I will also cultivate together."

"Is Miss Yuzuki coming too?"

Hayakawa was startled. In his eyes, Aoba Yuzuki was a monk who had been at the temple for more than ten years longer than him, and the training with her must be quite difficult.

"Yes, this is my preparation before I receive salvation,"

Aoba Yuzuki said solemnly, "It's about time I started preparing to become a nun."

Hayakawa nodded upon hearing this: "I understand. Let's do our best together."

"Okay, that's settled then,"

Aoba Yuzuki smiled and nodded, then swayed her clothes and drifted away: "I'll go tidy up first. Hayakawa-kun, get ready for breakfast. I'll introduce you to the other members of the temple at the table."

"Ah."

Hayakawa watched Aoba Yuzuki leave, silently making a fist-like gesture as if grabbing at the air in front of him, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

The real spiritual practice, the real test, is about to begin...

Come on, come on.

Just as Hayakawa was getting excited, the second young lady of Mikazukiji Temple, the beautiful girl Aoba Tsukiyo who is now a first-year high school student, was hiding behind a wall not far away. Beside her was a petite and delicate blonde girl with twin tails who was nervously peeking in that direction. Both of them were observing Hayakawa and Aoba Yuzuki's conversation.

At this moment, the two watched as Aoba Yuzuki left, while Hayakawa revealed a strange and evil smile, stretched out his hand and made a dragon claw fist gesture towards the air in front of him.

Seeing this action, Aoba Tsukiyo and the girl named Mia Christopher both fell silent, exchanging a blank glance, and seeing the same emotion in each other's eyes.

Wow, this person is definitely thinking about fondling Yuzuki's breasts...

nausea…

……

In a spacious tatami room at Mikazuki-ji Temple, a solemn and serious meeting of temple members is currently underway.

"The situation is extremely serious now."

The temple's second young lady, Aoba Tsukiyo, sat in the main seat, her hands clasped together in front of her like a commander, her expression extremely gloomy.

"Indeed."

Sitting next to her, Miya sat upright with an expression exactly like Tsukiyo's. She lowered her voice and said, "That man is undoubtedly a very dangerous person and a major threat to Mikazukiji."

At this moment, two girls were sitting opposite them. One was Kagura, Mia's attendant, dressed in a beautiful black dress, and the other was Aoba Haiyue, the third young lady of the temple. Both of them had puzzled expressions as they looked at the two girls, Mia and Aoba, who had serious faces.

"Um, may I ask a question?"

Kagura blinked calmly, then raised her hand slightly and said in a calm and clear manner, "Miya, may I ask you something? About that man you mentioned, his name is Hayakawa, right? You said so confidently that he is dangerous, but it seems you haven't even had any contact with him yet. Isn't it a bit unfair to describe him like that right off the bat...? That's what I think."

"Yes,

Haiyue nodded her little head in agreement, her squinted eyes revealing a docile yet aloof expression like a ragdoll cat: "I think Hayakawa-kun is a nice person, very handsome."

"You two are too naive,"

Meiya waved her hand abruptly, speaking with absolute certainty and confidence: "Although I know I saw one side of that man, I can tell from his appearance how hypocritical he is. He looks like a beast in human form, and his inner darkness is obvious. No matter how you look at him, his eyes are so lewd..."

"Miss Miya... did you use Japanese incorrectly again?"

Tsukiyo said somewhat awkwardly, then echoed, "But the meaning is no problem. Although I haven't had much interaction with that Hayakawa, I know exactly what kind of person he is. He approached a strange girl he had just met and immediately tried to do something indecent, especially in a temple, a place of Buddhist tranquility. Luckily, I used to practice a lot in the archery club and my physical fitness is pretty good, otherwise I don't know what terrible things would have happened. It's obvious what kind of person he is, right?"

"And Haiyue, isn't something wrong with you?"

Aoba Tsukiyo rambled on and on, then looked at her younger sister and said with dissatisfaction, "Kagura-san, fine, but you clearly saw with your own eyes how awful Hayakawa was to me at the temple gate, yet you still defended him and said something like, 'Handsome'? What's so handsome about him?"

"His appearance is very handsome; he has well-proportioned features, a good height, and a great demeanor."

Aoba Kaigetsu answered her sister confidently, then blushed slightly and covered her face: "Well, in terms of looks, they're totally my type..."

Aoba Tsukiyo: "...Kaizuki, come over for a family meeting in a bit."

"No."

Haiyue puffed out her pink cheeks and turned her head away in dissatisfaction: "You're always so annoying."

"Haiyue?!"

Looking deeply hurt, Yueye clutched her chest and said, "Why do you always have to hurt my sister like this?"

Aoba Kaigetsu covered her ears, pretending she hadn't heard anything, stubbornly insisting that the teenager had already entered her rebellious phase.

Seeing this, Kagura covered her mouth and chuckled, "Oh dear, family conflicts, huh?"
