Chapter 15 by Ebanu8 Ebanu8

Do you help Shioko?

Why not?

In all honesty, you had no real obligation to help Shioko. Yes, as the god of Anti-NTR, you were obligated to stop cuckoldry and preserve the love and joy of wholesome relationships. Shioko, on the other hand, was best described as an incredibly frigid, cold and distant woman held down by the chains of a deep-rooted desire - the desire to prove herself.

You see in her memories the image of a child relentlessly scolded and put down by her parents for failing to achieve good grades, and even when she scored at the top of her class, she never earned her parents' love and affection. All they gave her was a cold nod of the head.

"Listen carefully, Shioko; we Oshimas are among the top elite families of Japan, and anything less than perfection is a stain on our name."

"You have no time for making friends, playing games or toys, or even idling about; every ounce of your energy must be devoted to studies and work."

"Do not ever think of doing something as shameful as performing a prank! It is unbecoming of a proper woman!"

As an only child, she had no siblings to love or rely on, her room eternally dark, cold and empty in her mind. As the sole heir to the Oshima Zaibatsu [1] - a conglomerate of moneylending institutions - she was relentlessly molded into the perfect heiress, to obey the parents without question.

Her resentment gradually grew against her parents, and it morphed into such an ugly hatred that eventually, she decided to take matters into her own hands. She collected all the evidence of her parents' wrongdoings and shady dealings with other more unscrupulous 'elite' families, and when they began to move, she played the part of a whistleblower and brought them down, and her parents went to jail on charges of bribery and oppressive labor practices.

When the Labor Standards Bureau investigated, they used Shioko's evidence to put the entire board of shareholders in jail, and the company proceeded to declare bankruptcy.

Winning a significant amount of damages for playing whistleblower and victim of ****, she used it to study in the police academy, becoming officer and detective before becoming captain. Yet her habits remained, and trapped by her own desire for freedom, became regarded as a terribly arrogant 'elite' without care and concern for her own subordinates.

Being **** was a shame, but since she did not have any prior romantic interests or relationships and thus was in no relationship, it was not counted as netorare, and fell outside his jurisdiction.

And yet...

"Do you not have a duty to help those in need, even if they don't prove worthy of it?"

You already feel the Human part of you screaming in protest against your inaction. It was a statement borne of naivety and ignorance, lacking knowledge of the truly dark side of Human nature. If only the real Yuu truly knew, then he would not waste his power and time intervening for a total stranger.

And yet there was Shioko's eyes of earnest pleading and utter terror, before they closed in **** resignation of her fate, unable to save herself.

'Please... help me...'

...

"Fuck it."

You reveal yourself to the three rapists in a shroud of mist, your boiling rage leaking in the form of an unbelievable pressure that had them glued to the concrete ground. At the same time, Shioko is unbound and ungagged, Danjuro being freed as well.

"Sleep."

At your command the rapists are promptly rendered ****, their disgusting cocks somehow ejaculating under the pain. A simple mind alteration will ensure they remember nothing about Shioko or Danjuro, much less this whole incident.

You turn to face the freed captives, Danjuro hugging Shioko and crying in relief while the Police Captain looks at you fearfully.

"Y-Yuu?" She asked.

"The one and the same," You answered, "I know you have many questions, but we can't stay here; we ought to leave as soon as possible."

"Leaving, I get it, but we are not leaving until these three bastards are arrested by police," Shioko firmly stated.

"That won't be possible, I'm afraid," You said, "They're under protection of several powerful police and political figures who patronise their services, and if we bring the police in, chances are they'll go scot-free."

"What? But-"

"We must go, now," You ordered.

The power of your voice compelled Shioko to listen, and she nodded in agreement.

She quickly dressed herself and holstered her pistol, and taking Danjuro by the hand, leads you to her car where you quickly make a hasty exit. As the car drives towards Danjuro's home, Shioko looks at you through the rearview mirror.

"Alright, then. Let's start with the obvious questions: Who are you, and why did you save me?" Asked Shioko.

You smiled mirthfully at her, "If I told you I am a living god, would you believe me?"

Shioko's eyes narrowed, "Is that supposed to be a joke?"

"You tell me," You said.

Shioko was unconvinced, but she knew you commanded great power, so for now she would give you the benefit of doubt.

"Then why help me?" She asked, "For all I know, you could have just... left me."

"Yes, that is true," You admitted, "And truthfully, outside of our daily meetings at the Izakaya, I don't know you, and thus I have no real reason to help you."

"Then why? Surely you didn't think to help me cause it was 'the right thing to do'?" Shioko inquired with a highly cynical tone.

"No, of course not," You scoffed, "But does it truly matter?"

"...No, it doesn't," Said Shioko, "Anyway, you said that those rapists are backed by powerful people?"

"Very powerful people," You affirmed, "One of them was Commissioner Tokifusa of your police department."

"What?" Shioko muttered in shock, "You're sure of this?"

"I saw him purchasing 'goods' from them in exchange for a hefty briefcase of money," You added, "And he's just their latest customer."

Shioko bit her lip in frustration, denial and frustration clear in her eyes.

"Are you trying to tell me my greatest obstacle are men in power?" Shioko whispered, voice so soft most strained to hear it, "That trying to do the right thing will only get me in deeper trouble?"

You offered a sympathetic smile and then add, "Sometimes, he even goes to the ryokan they run and **** unwitting victims there. Him, and several political and business elites."

Shioko slowly ground the car to a halt, her hands shaky and her eyes brimming with tears of anger and powerlessness. She shuddered, recalling her earlier harrowing experience, and she silently prayed their victims would be able to endure the shame and live on with their lives. No one, not even the most unbearable bitches, should ever be subject to ****, so she believed.

"I can't believe it..." She muttered, her voice trembling, "I knew he wasn't a very motivated or professional man, but I never thought he'd stoop so low. And I was about to become those kidnappers' next victim?"

"...They also **** said victims with photos and videos and **** them to return for more, even selling homemade **** videos for hefty profit," You further explained, and Shioko gripped the steering wheel so tightly her knuckles turned white.

"... Exactly how many elites are supporting their business, how much influence do they have, and how many victims have they claimed?" Asked Shioko, "And if I did go through with trying to take down this **** ring, what would happen to me?"

"Aunt Shioko, no!" Danjuro cried, reaching to her from his seat, "Please, don't do this! Those bad men almost did something bad to you!"

"Danjuro..." Shioko muttered.

"Hey, Yuu, was it? Please help us! Please, don't let Shioko go through with this!" He pleaded desperately, **** with sobs and snot, "You can deal with the bad guys, right? Please?"

You sigh in response, placing a comforting hand on Danjuro's head, the poor boy hugging you tightly at the back.

"If you truly desire the answers, I can give them to you at Danjuro's house," You answered, your voice becoming deathly severe and your eyes hard as steel, "However, know this: Such a wish will come at a heavy price. Once paid, it cannot be undone. I say again, the price to pay is heavy and cannot be refunded, and when you learn the answers, you will wish you never knew. Even as I say this, do you truly wish to know?"

What is Shioko's answer?
