Foreigner Volume 8, Chapter 179

Volume 8 Chapter 179, Steady Advance ~ 32

　Leia moved. The warmth of bare skin right next to hers is comforting, and she smiles, pulling her skin closer together. The smell tells her who this warmth is from. The smell belongs to her Lord, whom she adores.

　Sleeping is comfortable.

　―Sleeping?

「Hmmm... ......?」

　Suddenly, Leia woke up.

　Blinking her eyes, she checks the current situation.

　Her own attire was unbecoming. Her underwear, which had been covering her breasts, was turned up, exposing her modest chest. Underneath, she is wearing her usual leather skirt, but she is not wearing underpants. And clinging to herself is Satoru. This one was completely naked and sleeping soundly. Yesterday―Huh?

「Ah, aahhhhh! I fell asleep again!?」

　The moment Leia woke up in hurry and shouted, her Lord, who was using her arm as a pillow, reacted with a jerk. "Oh no, I woke him up," she thought.

　Leia was at the height of her confusion. The Immortal King is a being who never sleeps. Even so, she was sleeping soundly. This was the second time she had experienced this, but the shock was even greater than the first, and Leia was simply flabbergasted.

「Don't make a fuss so early in the morning,......Fwahhh」

　Satoru scratched his head and looked at his watch with sleep-deprived eyes. 5:30 a.m., 30 minutes earlier than usual. 

　Calm down, calm down, Leia ruminates aloud about what has happened since last night. She has no memory of what happened after she pleaded with her Lord to use her as he pleased, lay her body on top of his, tortured her extensively, and received his semen. That means she sank like that.

「I'm sorry ...... that I fell asleep like that, I've made a mistake. ......」

「Don't worry about it.」

　Satoru gave a small smile and half-awake as if he had no choice. He was enjoying his usual morning slumber while taking a big sigh of relief.

　Leia also felt a small sense of relief when she saw that Satoru didn't seem to be bothered in the slightest. It was the first time since their first anal intercourse that she had blacked out, or should she call it to sleep? It was probably because of Satoru's soul that the Immortal King, who is supposed to never sleep, was forced to sleep, but it was still a strange thing to see.

　At the same time, Leia feels ashamed of herself for having sunk to the bottom after only one ejaculation.

　Satoru, half-awake as usual, often looks at Leia with sleepy eyes while holding her by the shoulders and patting her gently on the back. There is no sign of blame there.

　Leia was unexpectedly embraced, and although she was puzzled, the warmth and smell of the embrace made her fall in love with him.

　Suddenly, she noticed that Solor was looking at her. Leia was surprised to see her looking at her with her usual expressionless face, but at the same time, she smiled. Minerva and Liz were still sleeping, Isolde was awake but not looking at her, and Rico was nowhere to be seen.

　The door to the room opens and Rico returns. She seems to have gone to the bathroom ― she looks a little pale.

「Ah, Satoru. Good morning. ......」

　Rico notices that her Lord is up earlier than usual and greets him in the morning. However, she is not in her usual good spirits.

「What's the matter? You look so down.」

「Ughh...... It came for me too」

「Oh dear」

　Satoru chuckled at Rico's blurting out while clutching her lower abdomen. He doesn't need to ask what came. It was menstruation.

　It is said that menstruation tends to overlap when there is more than one woman in the family. The reason for this is not clear, but Liz had her period yesterday, which must have had some effect on her. Rico's face is clouded with disappointment, but Satoru smiles and says, 

「I don't have any plans for now. Have a good rest of the day, Rico.」

「Thank you.」

　Rico sat down on the bed, looking very heavy. Soon after, Liz woke up and Minerva also woke up.

　Since they have no particular plans for today, there is no problem if they take their time to sleep, but it must be a habit for them to wake up at the usual time. The town they're in now is among the rocks, so the sunlight is only thin, but there are faint signs of the morning outside.

「.....Liz looks like you're having a hard time.」

　Satoru looked at Liz, whose movements is awkward. Liz is usually so vigorous, but it was her second day of menstruation. Her complexion was not good. The smile she gave Satoru looked painful.

「To be honest, a little ......」

「The air quality in this town is bad, isn't it one of the reasons?」

　Isolde's voice made Liz look thoughtful.

「...... that may be part of it too」

　Liz felt that there was more to the atmosphere than just physical discomfort caused by menstruation. Isolde's point was quite valid. Liz had never been in an environment where the air quality was so bad. It was a difficult environment for someone who had grown up in an elven village where the air was clean and fresh.

「Minerva was also bored in the room~」

　Minerva, who had been overprotectively ordered to stay at home until now, also raised her voice as she changed her clothes. The environment in the room must be hard for Minerva, who has grown up in nature.

「I want to move my body too」

　Isolde took this opportunity to continue. In the town, she can't train as much as she would like. She must be feeling a lot of depression inside.

　Satoru smiled at the three's assertions one after the other.

「I've got it. After breakfast, let's go a little further out of town.」

　Yaay! Minerva cheered. Rico was the only one who looked unhappy.

「Can I stay here?」

「Sure」

　Satoru answered immediately. This menstruation must be a little heavy for her. He had no particular plans, and there was no need to force her to come along. Satoru turned to one of the magical slaves who had not raised her voice so far.

「Solor, stay with Rico.」

「Yes. Understood」

　Solor curtsies condescendingly. Rico must have felt sorry to keep Solor company. Rico says, "No".

「I don't mind being alone.」

「Nope. Solor, look after Rico. Don't make Rico do anything today.」

「Yes, sir.」

「W-wait a minute.」

　Rico shouted in a panic. Solor won't really let Rico do anything if she's ordered to do so. No matter how hard that is. After thinking about it for a bit, Rico said he would at least let her sew and take care of the weapons, so Satoru allow her to do so.

　Two of the slaves had menstruated during their extended stay in town, so it was the perfect time to take a break. During menstruation, movement is inevitably sluggish. Considering this, it could be said that this was a necessary break.

「Let's see. If it's that hard, should I do something to ease the pain?」

「I would appreciate it if you would do so. ......」

　Rico responded honestly to Leia's offer. Normally, she would have refrained from doing so, but the fact that she did not seems to indicate that this menstruation is heavier and more severe than the last one.

　Leia stood in front of Rico, who sat on the edge of the bed after having her anti-sorcery equipment removed with a wry smile, and held out her favorite wand.

「『Diagnosis』 ―― 『Pain Relief』」

　A faint light shines on Leia's wand and is absorbed into Rico's body. Rico, who had closed her eyes and accepted the art, saw that it was over and opened her eyes. Her eyes blinked and she gently stroked her own lower abdomen.

「...... Oh. It's getting easier.」

「I'm only easing the pain, you hear? Don't take it too hard, all right?」

　Leia handled it easily, but Satoru was right when he predicted that the 【Pain Relief】 art might actually be quite difficult. It is an art that belongs to the intermediate level of the Holy Arts, but it also requires intermediate-level Rijutsu knowledge and understanding of the structure of the human body.

　It only removes the pain, but the blood continues to flow, so if you overdo it, it will affect your body immediately.

「I understand. Thanks, Leia.」

「How about you, Liz?」

　*shine* and Leia's eyes lit up. There's another one who's menstruating right now. Satoru couldn't help but chuckle at Leia's smugness ― Satoru didn't realize that Leia's deep thoughtfulness was actually there.

「Is it okay?」

「It's no trouble for me. There's no reason why I only do it for Rico.」

　Leia is lightly saying that, and twirling her favorite short wand around and around.

「Besides, it's better than continue looking sick all the time.」

「......, then why didn't you do it yesterday?」

　At Satoru's point, Leia's hand stopped manipulating her short wand.

「N-no, I mean, Liz didn't seem to be in so much pain yesterday.」

　Satoru gives a jittery look at the understandable slovenliness of the situation.

「......Either you forgot that the art existed, or you forgot how painful menstruation is because you haven't had it for a while.」

　*flinch* Leia's shoulders jumped a little. Satoru laughed at this very understandable reaction. It's been a while since I've inadvertently triggered this, he thought. In fact, he did not see through Leia's thoughts. It's not surprising, then, that she didn't do it yesterday, because she had forgotten about the idea and was not actually wrong about being forgotten about the pain of menstruation.

「If that's what you mean. By all means, please」

　With a bitter smile, Liz bowed her small head and removed the hair clip in which the anti-sorcery resistance art was imbued. She was sure that her menstrual pain, though not as severe as Rico's, was still hard to bear. If it could make things a little easier, that would be great.

「Oh-ohhh. Let's see 『Diagnosis』 ......」

　Leia's movement stopped as she held out her short wand and used the art. Earlier, with Rico, there had been only a few moments between 【Diagnosis】 and 【Pain Relief】," but now there was a long pause.

「What's wrong?」

　At Satoru's suspicious question, Leia looked up as if she had been interrupted, then let her gaze wander and gave a small twist of her head. After a few moments, she looked up with a satisfied expression on her face.

「......Ah, no. I forgot you're a half-elf. What, I was just a little confused because they are a little different from humans.」

「Is it that........different. Even their menstrual cycles are different.」

　Satoru was about to make a comment, but then he thought better of it. The structure of the body of an elf, which is composed of water and wind, and a half-breed, which is a human being without specific attributes, is naturally different.

「And the number of half-elves is small. Although their body is said to be closer to that of a human than to that of an elf, they have not been studied much, and Liz would be the first person I have ever had a decent relationship with. ...... 『Pain Relief』」

　As before, a faint light flashed on the tip of the short wand, and it was slowly absorbed into Liz's body. After a few moments, Liz groaned in admiration.

「Thank you ....... It makes a big difference.」

「It will last for three whole days, but as I told Rico earlier, it only relieves the pain, so don't overdo it, okay?」

「Okay」

　Minerva with a slightly curious look on her face looked at Leia, who breathed a small sigh of relief.

「Then, let's eat, let's eat」

　Satoru, who has the utmost confidence in this most trusted of the slaves, does not question her, but rather speaks to Leia in a light tone of voice.

「Leia.」

「Mm, nmu?」

「...... Are you going to spend today without pants on?」

　Leia, who had fallen asleep last night after being undressed and having intercourse, remembered that she was not wearing any underwear, and her neat face turned red instantly.
