*Small Night

047 ? Small Night #2

“Then please go to the corner room on the top floor.”

Following the innkeeper’s brief instructions, I took the room key and headed to the highest floor of the inn, the 3rd floor.

There were five rooms on the 3rd floor. They were something akin to a suite, costing a fairly expensive 2 silver coins per night to stay in. Who would’ve thought I’d end up booking a room here again?

One.

Two.

Three…

As I struggled to read the room numbers on the firmly closed doors’ plaques, I was finally able to find the farthest corner room mentioned by the innkeeper.

『Interlude.』

“Aha, here it is, the last room.”

Creeak, Squeak.

Upon unlocking and opening the door, I was greeted by a spacious room.

The curtain flutters in the breeze, and on the chairs and the desk, faintly burning incense provides a somewhat luxurious feel. d*mn, there’s even paper and a pen.

Who would’ve thought I’d end up renting such an expensive room? More importantly, why is there only one bed?

I’m sure I ordered a twin bed with two beds, yet only one double bed size bed is placed here.

Was the order incorrect? Or did I mistakenly order the wrong thing due to intoxication, forgetting the difference between a twin bed and a double bed? Although, I’m not drunk enough to have made such a mistake.

I’ll need to report the incorrect order. When will I have the chance to go back down to the third floor and resolve this issue? As I was feeling this inconvenience, I sensed some movement from behind.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you coming in?”

It was Luna. For some reason, her hair and body were drenched with water.

“What happened? Why are you all wet?”

“I need to clean myself before sleeping.”

“But didn’t you go to the bathhouse earlier today?”

“…I usually bathe twice a day.”

Luna is cleaner than I thought. Whenever we walk together, her body always smelled of fragrant incense or perfumed oil. Her pink hair was always in good condition.

Despite wearing revealing clothes, her skin remained smooth and spotless—d*mn, what’s her skincare secret? I feel like I’m deteriorating each day.

“Anyway, let’s go in already. It’s cold.”

“You should’ve dried yourself properly, idiot.”

To the shivering Luna, I delivered a scolding similar to what I used to say to my younger sister.

Because we’ve both endured hardships and shared many conversations, the awkwardness between us has significantly decreased, and a strong sense of comradeship has developed. Of course, I don’t know exactly how Luna feels about me.

“Hey, Luna. Is it okay that there’s only one bed?”

“It’s big enough. We can share; it’s cheaper with one bed than two.”

“Yeah.”

Luna is right; it’s cheaper to have one bed than two. And given that we’ve already shared a cramped tent multiple times, we’ve built a camaraderie that can be called comradeship.

There’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to sleep in the same room now.

Even so…

Regardless, the thought of sleeping in the same bed with a girl heats up my chest and lower body, which already lacks female experience.

The warm flush in my face seems to have somewhat dissipated the slight buzz I had earlier.

Thinking about it, isn’t this another opportunity to touch Luna’s body?

I remember the soft and supple feeling of her flesh that I felt in my palm before; imagining it again makes my tool already hard, bulging against the inside of my pants.

Plosh.

While I was immersed in these thoughts, Luna had sprawled out in the middle of the soft quilt on the bed.

With her head buried in the pillow, she lay face down, lightly kicking her legs—one could say she looked like an excited young lady.

“It’s dusty, isn’t it?”

“…”

Luna, who usually chirps endlessly like a honey-fed parrot, was strangely quiet that evening. Perhaps she’s tired?

Regardless, the atmosphere was quite awkward and still, causing my lips to dry out. Due to this, even my nasal breathing sounds loud.

“Let’s finish up quickly and sleep. I’m tired, and tomorrow will be busy too.”

With that, I slowly approached Luna, who was lying face down. There was no response from Luna.

Since we had drinks and returned from the journey that day, she might have fallen asleep out of sheer exhaustion, I thought.

Sooch.

When I saw her emerald eyes peeking at me from the side of the pillow, I realized she wasn’t asleep.

“Then, let me check your wrist first.”

I gently lifted Luna’s wrist, placed softly on the quilt. As I noticed every time, it was incredibly delicate and thin.

Where does the strength to swing her silence totem come from in such a fragile arm? No wonder her muscles ache so much.

Diling.

『Name: Luna Noxdotty Level 8

Strength: 2

Agility: 5

Health: 1

Attitude: Struggler』 『Lover of Naughty Games』

Condition: 『Nox’s Curse』 『Erebore’s Curse』 『Mild Growing Pains』 『Weak Excitement』

What is this?

The floating words in front of me carried more information than usual.

It wasn’t only indicating her condition; stats like strength and agility also appeared. Therefore, I couldn’t help but be surprised at a situation not quite meeting my expectations.

Speaking of which, I remember that when the words first appeared by Elpride, similar detailed words also floated.

What could it be? Is there a different reason why the words look different? Could it be that I’ve grown through various experiences? I don’t know.

Anyway, I decided to stop pondering deeply and instead carefully observed the words.

The first thing that caught my eye was “Weak Excitement.” Could it be due to the events during the expedition and the gift she received today, her tension is heightened?

Indeed, Luna’s pulse was beating quite fast, and her skin was warm despite having bathed in cold water, which seemed like the initial symptoms of hypertension due to excitement.

“Then, I’ll start by massaging your wrist.”

“…”

Once again, there was no verbal response from Luna. Therefore, I interpreted the silence as a positive answer and pressed lightly below her wrist, about 5 cm down, at a spot where red dots appeared on her Neiguan point.

Gooouk.

They say that pressing this place reduces stress in the body and helps mental stability.

Frankly, I don’t really believe in acupressure, but I’ve seen the effects so far, so I expect something to happen this time as well.

“Hm…”

“If it hurts, let me know.”

“Uh, uh-huh…”

A woman’s body is more delicate than I thought, so regulating my strength is quite tricky. Hence, I pressed Luna’s wrist gently with careful strokes and moved it around in circles.

This made Luna’s previously stiffened body visibly relax.

“Hmm…”

Luna’s soft sigh. Soon, the Diling sound effect played, and words appeared in front of my eyes.

『Luna Noxdotty’s “Weak Excitement” has been cured.』

『Mission Value + 10』

『Current Mission Value: +27』

Oh yeah, the mission value has been calculated. Since mission values can be used to enhance abilities, borrow divine power, or perhaps strengthen my necklace, the more values I have, the better.

“How about it now? Do you feel any better?”

After addressing her initial hypertension signs, I asked Luna. She replied softly with her face buried in the pillow.

“A little…”

“Then I’ll move on to your shoulders, back, and entire body.”

Luna is still suffering from mild growing pains.

Last time it got interrupted due to an all-nighter, and considering Luna’s sudden level-ups, her growing pains seemed to have lasted longer than usual.

Therefore, I climbed carefully onto her thighs and, using both thumbs, gently pressed and circularly massaged the sunken areas near her shoulder blade and neck.

The right combination of strength and spinning is crucial in a massage.

“Haaah…”

Just by doing that, Luna’s body relaxed and went limp as if melting.

Massaging parts that a person can’t reach themselves can somehow have the effect of making their body feel wonderfully relaxed. There’s just something about it.

“Ah, uh…”

“Is it painful?”

Even with gentle pressure, it might be quite painful for Luna, who’s suffering from muscle aches. So I asked her if the pressure was appropriate.

“If it hurts, let me know.”

“Ku, it’s fine. I can endure it…”

If she says it’s tolerable, then it hurts.

So, I decided to use less force than I initially planned, making my massage more of a light caress than pressure, and continued stimulating her shoulders and ribs with my thumbs and palms.

Merely rubbing the skin in such a way provides enough stimulation to improve bl**d circulation.

Shoosh, Suuwoosh.

“Huuuuh…”

As I continued the caress, my hands eventually moved towards Luna’s armpits.

As I’d mentioned before, stimulating the lymph nodes in this area is crucial in massage. Besides that, I simply wanted to touch her.

I wanted to feel that soft, supple skin I’d encountered before. I sort of wanted to take a sniff, but that might get me slapped.

“Uh…huh, huhht…It’s ticklish, Hassan!”

Sure enough, armpits are ticklish, making Luna’s body twitch and shiver. Luna turned out to be more sensitive to external stimulation than I had expected.

“Huh…huhh!…”

Since she kept trying to cover her armpits with her arms, I positioned her arms on her head, pillow-like.

“Try to endure the ticklishness; we’ve done this before. Come on.”

“Huh…ggihihi…W-well, but, huhh…”

Gooch, Guuk.

Then, I pressed the lymph nodes area with proper strength and rotated it clockwise in a circular motion.

I can’t tell if the sweat that moistened the surrounding area is mine or Luna’s.

Gooch.

The soft, plump skin of her armpit, already by just pressing it, my tool is puffing up as if it’s about to burst.

Even though my member is rubbing between Luna’s thighs and her waist as if trying to pierce through her, Luna, either due to her innocence or being lost in the massage, doesn’t seem to notice.

In truth, this is less about giving a massage and more about indulging in my desire to touch Luna’s body. The power of male lust is truly terrifying.

“Ah…, hnhg…Eet…”

As I kept rubbing her armpit for quite some time, Luna clutched the quilt tightly with her fingers while emitting an excited sigh.

Had I not noticed before, but hearing it now, this doesn’t quite sound like the relief from a mere massage; there seems to be something else about it.

“Aht…Aahng…huhht…”

Taking her heated breathing as an accompaniment, I gently rubbed my hot, hardened tool against Luna’s buttocks.

Sooch-Sooch.

She mustn’t notice, right?

At the same time, a sense of guilt for acting this wickedly mixed with the thought that there’s nothing in this world that could feel this exciting or pleasurable emerged in my heart.

sh*t, this gator-skin pants are annoyingly thick. If it was a thinner pair of pants, or even better, just underwear.

Or, what if we were both completely n*ked.

What would happen if I rubbed my aroused part directly against Luna’s soft, bare skin? As I imagined this, the rhythm of my hips moving against her buttocks began to hasten.

“Haa, Hassan…Eh, Aang…I, now, this, maybe it’s enough…We can stop here, I think…”

“A, uhh, sure.”

I was startled by my name being suddenly called mid-action and stopped moving both my hands and hips. Simultaneously, my outstretched fingers froze mid-air.

“Then, um, where should I massage next? Or should we be done?”

“Ba, ankles…”

“Oh, right, you said your ankle was twisted.”

To massage her ankle means I would have to lower my body even more towards her lower half, leaving no room for my hardened tool to rub against her indirectly.

Thus, I felt a bit regretful, but there was nothing I could do. I would have to touch myself off before sleeping later, d*mn.

So, I approached down to the end of the bed and looked at Luna’s foot. The small, cute soles and delicate toes.

And the thin ankle adorned with anklets that sway like hula-hoops came fully into my view.

Luna’s ankle is so thin, it’s hard to believe how it supports a person’s body. I could easily fit her ankle in my hand, with even some room to spare.

However, compared to before, Luna’s ankle and calf seemed slightly thicker. Is it because she walked for so long that they swelled up?

Personally, I’ve always liked thin ankles. The gradual widening from a thin ankle to the calf appeals to me. Of course, I’ve never confessed this to anyone—it’s not something you’d want to share publicly, to avoid being teased as a pervert.

“Let me lightly rotate your ankle. Let me know if it hurts.”

“Uh, sure.”

It’s important not to press too hard on a twisted joint as it can lead to other injuries.

So, I carefully held her foot and checked the joint’s movement by rotating it in a circular motion, continuing meticulous actions.

From my perception, there’s no significant sticking in her joints, and her bl**d flow seems unrestricted. I figure she doesn’t necessarily need treatment—she should fully recover after a good sleep tonight.

Having finished stimulating her ankle, I turned my attention to her broad, cute foot. Every time I see it, it’s such an endearing, n*ked foot.

Indeed, I understand why people treat their weaknesses or precious valuables with such tender care. I placed my face near Luna’s left foot, between her toes.

Khh-Khh.

“What, why are you smelling!? Wh-what are you doing!?”

“Well, there’s no smell at all.”

“S-Showered, so… Besides, be careful… Don’t… Don’t sniff the smell!”

“Yeah.”

Although I responded like that, as a matter of fact, the feet benefit from strong stimulation.

I made a fist as if preparing to give a knuckle massage, slightly pointed the middle joint of the index finger, and pressed the Yongquan acupoint located on the arch of her foot when the foot is flexed, forming a person-shaped concave.

Gooook.

“Hot!”

With that, Luna’s body jumped up as if she were a snail being sprinkled with salt.

Of course, this is because the Yongquan acupoint is known for being so stimulating it can cause even the dead to wake up, or so my father exaggerated with a touch of doubt.

Anyway, the Yongquan point has a lot of diverse effects, from relieving fatigue and insomnia to enhancing cardiac functions, resolving swelling and edema, and so on. While such alternative medicine claims may seem rough around the edges, they encompass quite broad claims like that.

“Hooooh! Ah, Hassan, it hurts! It hurts!”

“Foot massages are supposed to hurt to be beneficial for the body. You’ll soon like this.”

“Oww! It hurts! Thatggiyiik”

Reacting so vividly to the pain. This reminded me of the first time I massaged Elpride’s feet. That one also cried out in pain while squirming around. Because of that, my cheek got slapped.

However, after she gradually got accustomed to it, there were even times when she would get upset if I didn’t apply enough strength. This is how massage works; once you get accustomed to strong pressure, it’s endless, and you start feeling pain as refreshing.

“Hhhgyaaah!”

Despite my concern that Luna is in too much pain, I removed my fist from the pressure point. She collapsed, taking deep breaths.

However, my hands did not stop. They moved upward from her ankle, past her calves, reaching her thighs. I wanted to feel her soft and smooth thighs, so it seemed justified to give this little pretext of a massage under such circumstances.

Swoosh.

Ma-lk.

Luna didn’t say anything about me squeezing her thigh. She just trembled and tensed up her body, like a fish getting mildly electrocuted.

Thinking this was my chance—I wouldn’t hesitate to rub it thoroughly and vividly before sleeping later, keeping this soft sensation in mind—it’s better this way.

“Huh, uhn, eet…”

“If it hurts, tell me.”

Using the reminder of pain as a way to reiterate that this massage was not at all a lewd act of molestation, but rather genuine massage therapy was necessary.

“Ha, Hassan… Somewhere else… Pll-lease, a little higher…”

“A, a bit higher? Uh.., here?”

“…”
