I hurried them along and we left the village. Since we were all ninja, we made it to the shrine before nightfall. It only made sense to stay for the night. I was not sleepy or anything, so I decided to walk the grounds. It was while I was in front of the donation box and main area of the shrine that voice called out to me. "It's been a long time since anyone has been as generous as your friend." I turned around to see a very pretty girl on fire. This had to be the fire yokai that was enshrined here. "Don't worry. I had a lot of cash to give up." I said. I did not really want a god hounding me. Being polite and inoffensive was my goal. She smiled and said "Many people here have begun to forget what I have done for them in the past." I nodded my head. "If you were to build another shrine for me, I would not mind blessing you and your family." The offer was very tempting for me. Having a divine blessing over my family would be pretty cool. I looked at her and said "Sure. I can do that." Good choice." she replied. I asked "Do you actually have a relic or something to be enshrined!?" She nodded.
Personally, I was getting rich. It would not take too long to be able to afford a personal shrine. We could put it in the backyard. In the morning, I had the relic and the 4 of us set out to return to the Kirume Clan's village. Sachie and Aina were going to be living with Keisuke and his family until a house could be made for them. It was about the time to get Mio-sama's medicine, so we offered to pick it up from the town on the way to the building company where we could order more construction projects. 3 new houses were going to be built. Aina and Sachie were going to need their own homes in the plots of land that were going to be set aside for the new Kirime Clan. The other house was for whoever my new concubine was going to be. There was no time like the present. We set off at a ninja's pace. When we got there, Yasu was at the counter. We asked if the apothecary was in. Yasu rolled his eyes and sighed deeply. "He's upstairs. I wore him out after just one round." Keisuke looked alarmed. "You used his ass!? He's not a ninja!" he scolded. "I know. He topped me!!" Yasu spat.
Quiet settled over the shop. Yasu probably would have killed him if he went full on lust mode and topped the virgin medicine man. He was sent here to protect the owner from harm. Yasu's sex and romantic life was not a factor here. The medicine was ready and we paid. There was still time to go to the building company. We made our orders with the money we had on hand. That was a lot since we got to stop at our houses first. Keisuke made his 2 a pair of small identical houses. Even though he was being strong armed into doing this, he was not really planning to have that many children with Aina and Sachie. 1 or 2 kids each would be fine enough. There were 4 members of Kirime House as it stood when we joined the clan. He already had 3 children with his wife now. Adding them in the mix made 7. With his siblings-in-law now married they would be making babies as well. Getting 2 to 4 more children from Keisuke would make it even closer to getting their own cadet branch off the ground. They were determined to carve their own path. I wished them luck. They need all of it.
