CHAPTER 29 â THE ESSENCE OF âTRAINING SISTERSâ
Editor(s): Robinxen
1After noticing Shimizuâs gaze, Lily slightly regretted agreeing to it so quickly. Although she hadnât figured out the reason, such a good thing like training together that Shimizu had described wasnât something easily found.
Wonât others misunderstand the meaning of partners?2
Oh well, it doesnât matter. To increase my strength, and to begin my journey towards Heian-Kyo as soon as possible, I better learn from a talented expert like Shimizu!
âLily, can you call me Sister Shimizu from now on?â3
Lily would have felt conflicted to address her as âSisterâ directly. But as she was older than her, Lily couldnât find any reason to refuse to call her courteously as âSister Shimizu.â
âSister Shimizu,â Lily called out obediently.

âMhm⌠Such an obedient lilâ sis.â Shimizu appeared very elated.4
She then suddenly recalled something and yelled towards the door, âSouu, bring me your Tsukikage Clanâs massage lotion.â
âYes!â Followed by an instantaneous response, the door slid aside, and a masked ninja girl appeared at the entrance. She took out a medicine vial from her bosom and handed it to Shimizu.
âMhm. Good. You can go out.â Shimizu commented as she caressed the vial with her slender fingers.
âYes!â
Lily gazed at that vial with some doubt while Shimizu wore a sweet smile on her face as she said, âCome, Lily. Lay on top of this sisterâs leg.â5
Shimizu brought her legs together in the seiza position and patted her knees with a straight back.
âEh?!â Lily blanked out, âS-Sister Shimizu, why do IâŚâ
Shimizu had licked Lilyâs armpit just now, so she felt a little cautious about some of Shimizuâs unpredictable instructions.
Shimizu replied, âItâs so that I can help apply the medicine for you. Didnât you get hurt in our duel this morning? You have such a beautiful figure, so it would be a shame if it were to get blemished. I also didnât hold back much with my attack. The Tsukikage Clan are the best with apothecary related things. It just needs the patience to smear the medicine and pour some spirit power to show its effect. You wonât be able to do it properly alone. I have learned a lot of medical skills because I had a weak body from childhood, so I should do it. Just come over.â
Although she didnât feel that reassured, Shimizuâs words touched Lily as she loved beauty the most. She absolutely couldnât accept having a scar or something like that, so even if she felt a little embarrassed, it seemed like she couldnât refuse it.
Hence, Lily reached in front of Shimizu, but still hesitated a bit.
âMake it quick, letâs not tarry it.â Shimizu patted her thigh.6
Lily calmed her breathing and kneeled down helplessly. Then, she relaxed her upper body forwards and supported herself with her palms that had touched the floor. She adjusted her position and laid on top of Shimizuâs thighs.
Lilyâs height was 170 cm. Such a slender woman was lying on the thighs of another older girl. If a mirror was in the room, it would have reflected a very shameful scene.
Shimizu handled Lilyâs back waist professionally, caressing her buttocks softly. Then she untied Lilyâs aquamarine dojo robeâs belt and raised it little by little until it had reached Lilyâs waist.
Lily closed her eyes while blushing as she felt a slight chill in the lower half of the body.
She suddenly regretted it a bit, but things had already reached this stage, and the other party had already seen her, so it was too late to feel regret.
Shimizu opened the medicine vial expertly and let some lotion fall on her palm, followed by an unexpected careful observation of the target.
âSister Shimizu⌠can you start?â Although Lily was lying on Shimizuâs thighs, she could feel Shimizuâs gaze through her sensitive perception, and this made her blush because of the embarrassment. Thus, she urged Shimizu to begin.
Even Sister Uesugi hasnât seen that placeâŚ
âHuh, weird. Why would I suddenly recall Uesugi Rei in this situation? Is it because she took my firsts in such things? Iâm just training sisters with Shimizu, unlike Uesugi Rei, that perverted sister. Sister Shimizu should have decency⌠right?â
âMhm. Iâll begin soon.â Shimizu replied.
The penetrating heat from the lotion and Shimizuâs soft palms brought an incredible sensation that put Lily into a trance-like state.
âIâll be pouring in some spirit power now, okay?â
âHuh? Wait a secondâŚâ
Lily felt a series of numbing vibrations induced by the spirit waves that had permeated through her plump buttocks. They penetrated into the depths of her body and scattered everywhere, making her feel sheer pleasure from that location.
Lily lowered her head and held her hands together, supporting her body using her elbows while blushing uncannily. She felt that perhaps Shimizu really had excellent medical skills, and this method of reducing stasis and improving blood circulation would save her a lot of pain. But Shimizu still kept pouring spirit power even after the pain had left. It made Lily doubt whether the amount was a bit too much and made her skeptical about why it was taking so long.
âSister Shimizu⌠is it done?â Lily couldnât endure it anymore, and if this went on, she felt like she might die from the shame.
âMhm. Just a little longer. Lilâ Lily, it makes me curious. I hit hard in the morning. Yet your butt looks flawless with no hints of bruises. It has just reddened slightly, and with this, those red marks have all disappeared. Hehe.â Shimizu smiled slyly.
âHah?!â While Lily felt ashamed and full of regret. No way. So it was all fine? Doesnât this mean I got seen by Sister Shimizu for nothing and went through the treatment for no reason?
Lily arranged her robe while blushing and felt complex feelings.
âSister Shimizu, itâs already late, so I shall return now. Thank you for helping me healâŚâ
Lily felt a little grieved as she said these words as she had to thank someone who had seen and felt her up freely.
âThis is such a rare occasion. Why donât you spend the night at my place, lilâ sister?â7
âEh? No need for that. I live just opposite to you, sister. Itâs just a matter of walking a few steps. I s-shall return first.â
She had stayed to have some tea, and it had ended with a healing session on Shimizuâs thighs. Lily didnât wish to find out what would happen if she were to spend the night here. How come the women of this world are more dangerous than the other?
Shimizu noticed Lilyâs shy and tense behavior, so she didnât insist on it, âAll right then. Letâs train the sword in the dojo tomorrow morning. Iâll wait for you, but you better not come late. If you do, Iâll punish you.â
âYesâŚâ
That dojo is only 250 meters away from my house. Thereâs no chance Iâll be late.8
Lily was just about to bid her goodbye when Shimizu stood up suddenly. She took out a few books from the cabinet then handed them over to Lily, âAfter seeing your fight with Hachio, I already know that youâre training the Genji Swordstyle. As your elder sister, I have yet to do anything for you, lilâ sister. Take these books from me.â
âIs she perhaps referring to Hachiya?â
Lily took the books, and to her astonishment, they were the fourth, fifth, and sixth books of the Genji Swordstyle. This made her feel elated.
âThank you, Sister Shimizu!â
âBut donât you need them?â
Shimizu shifted her gaze and replied, âJust take them. These are already useless to me.â
Lily felt ecstatic after getting the fourth to sixth books of the Genji Swordstyle, as she had just finished training the third book and needed these.
Although Ieyoshiâs remnant spirit had guided her to the legendary tenth book, she hadnât found the previous books in the series there. Just that tenth book alone was of no use to her. Although she could buy the fourth to sixth books, it wasnât easy to do. She might even need to spend an exorbitant amount of money for the next books in the series. Therefore, since Shimizu didnât need them, Lily accepted them courteously.
On the next day, perhaps because she felt too tired yesterday, Lily had overslept. She got up and saw that it was still night, so she went back to sleep again.

When she woke up again, she felt something was wrong and looked at the night sky through the window, âGoodness! Itâs already eight in the morning!â9
Other than the sun, the moon and stars were also used to measure time. The people of Heian had gradually learned how to read time this way because of the frequent chaotic nights. Lily had also learned it a bit.
Itâs an extended night again!
Oh no! I vowed I wouldnât arrive late yesterday but ended up doing so on the first day! Lily was a girl, so she couldnât skip the grooming and makeup process, and could only speed it up to her best.
After she finished preparing, Lily rushed to the dojo and peeked inside from outside the entrance. She saw Shimizu sitting inside with her eyes closed in meditation. She had a solemn expression on her face, and this frightened Lily. This doesnât look good. If I go in like this, Sister Shimizu will definitely punish me, and her punishments definitely arenât something to kid about. Should I just cook up an excuse to get through it?
Although Lily didnât like lying, she hated getting punished moreâŚ
âCough!â
Shimizu suddenly began coughing at this moment, and this made her beautiful blue-black hair drop poignantly.
âSister Shimizu!â Lily ran inside and kneeled beside Shimizu to support her, âSo cold.â
Shimizuâs body temperature was too low, at least two degrees lesser than usual. This wasnât a good sign, as all spirit power practitioners had good health and never caught common illnesses.
âSister Shimizu, are you all right?â Lily asked anxiously.
âIâm fine⌠Iâve been like this since my childhood⌠Cough⌠WaterâŚâ10
Lily rushed out to bring clean water from the spring in a bamboo container and gave it to Shimizu. Shimizu took out a pill from her clothes and took it with Lilyâs help. Her condition gradually improved after that.
But she still had a pale complexion. She held her chest with some force through her clothes, and this made Lily feel pity for her.
Such a beautiful, talented girl is so troubled with illness. Itâs unfair.
âSister Shimizu, how about I help you return home?â
âNo need. I must not catch a chill as Iâm now. Just let me rest here for a moment, and Iâll get better. Yoshiko will bring some medicinal decoction soon. Iâll be fine after drinking it.â
Shimizu shivered while saying this. Although they were indoors, it was unavoidable for such a vast dojo to become cold during this mid-fall extended night.
Sister Shimizu must be freezing.
Lily untied the front of her robe with no hesitation. As they were both girls, she wasnât afraid of showing her body. She used her warm, pillowy breasts to embrace Shimizuâs weak body.11
âHah?â A trace of pinkness appeared on Shimizuâs pale face when faced with this fragrant softness that had arrived suddenly.
âSister Shimizu, although Lilyâs swordplay is lacking when compared to yours, my body is warm. Let me warm you up, sister, until that decoction arrives.â
âLilyâŚâ
Lilyâs warm, healthy, soft, bouncy breasts and her body, which oozed a rich, womanly scent, made Shimizu feel excited and enraptured her.
âWeâre both women, but why is Lilyâs body so different from mine? Itâs so warm and smells so womanlyâŚâ Shimizu just buried her head into Lilyâs bosom.
âEh?â Shimizu squeezed her face between the breasts and breathed out, making Lily blush hard, but she could do nothing about it. I have to warm up Sister Shimizu even if I end up baring myself to her!
A manâs voice came through from outside the dojo at this moment.
âOh no! Not now!â Lily could only move away from Shimizu and arrange her clothes.
And with her exceptional fortitude, Shimizu had also regained her senses and sat back composedly.
The door opened, followed by Kondo and his fellow brothers entering inside.
âSenior Kondo?â Lily questioned in a faint voice.
âMiss Kagami? Lady Shimizu?â Kondo revealed a complicated expression when he saw Lily.
The dojoâs entrance opened wide soon after, followed by Tokugawa and his group entering inside aggressively.
âKondo, I will settle things with you here today! Hmm? Lady Shimizu and Miss Kagami, youâre here too? Thatâs good. You can witness this duel together!â Tokugawa stated confidently in high spirits.
Only then did Lily remember that Kondo and Tokugawa conflicted because of her. And they had agreed to duel today!12
