Episode 23 Getting Healed by an Elf's Sister I
Behind a monastery on the outskirts of town――As he waited for the High Elf Sister in the underground workshop next to the cemetery, and as if the timing was just right, she soon arrived.
The door of the underground workshop opened with a bang, and a long blond nun with a lantern in her hand walked in with a broad stride.
Kian slowly got up from the sofa he was sitting on.
「Good evening, Arueno-san. Are you going to mix the potion now? I'm glad I don't have to wait all night.」
「Nope!」
The elf sister raises her eyebrows tightly.
Normally, she has the air of a gentle, calm, mature woman, but now she was clearly angry.
「No, I'm not mixing a potion! I came here in a hurry because there was an intruder in my workshop. If it was a thief, I wanted to catch them and turn them in to the guards.」
「I didn't know this workshop had any kind of detection wards.」
「Of course! What do you think I am, Kian-kun? A priest? Or an apothecary? Too bad, I'm also a magician!」
「I'm sorry, but I really need to see Arueno-san alone. It's past lights out, and I thought I'd be turned away if I came through the main gate.」
Alone with Arueno-san――
Kian emphasized the "Alone" part.
He wanted to tell the blonde elf sister in front of him in no uncertain terms what he was doing here.
「......!」
As expected, Arueno's green eyes twitched.
She turned her gaze away regretfully and fell silent.
The flame of the lantern flickered as if it was expressing the sister's feelings.
(I knew it, Arueno-san is beautiful.)
He gazed at the elven sister, who held her own ample breasts in her arms out of a sense of defensiveness.
Her arms are tucked into her sister's dress and her breasts are pudding out as if they were taut.
Her waist is narrow.
Her hips are round.
Her legs are slim and toned.
He doesn't know how old she is now――but she is so erotic and beautiful, like a sculpture of a goddess, that it doesn't matter.
「Go home, Kian-kun.」
Arueno moved her body away from the entrance, trying not to look at Kian.
A cold expression appeared on her normally kind face.
「That's terrible. I've been hunting for a Griffin to bring my love to you.」
「...... Griffins? Kian-kun, you?」
Arueno asked back quizzically.
She looked as if she didn't believe it at all, but then she sniffed and opened her eyes.
The High Elf's senses were sharp.
She must have smelled the blood and beast on Kian's body.
「I stopped myself from bringing its head to you. Only men would be pleased. Women are ......more likely to want bloody underwear and the like. I'll give you my panties if you want.」
「I don't want them. It's dirty. ...... More importantly, the dangerous job you were talking about yesterday was to defeat Griffin. Why did you do such a dangerous thing?」
Arueno's voice changed a little.
Her voice changed from angry to worried.
As she approached him, holding up the lantern, she had a complicated look on her face, as if she couldn't decide what to do.
「Did you cover yourself with water to get the blood off?」
「Yes, I did. I couldn't go to see my beloved in a dirty state.」
「.......! I told you to forget about yesterday. I only allowed myself to be touched because I wanted you to have hope as you went about your dangerous work. I don't have any special feelings fo――」
「Guhh......!」
In the middle of Arueno's words, Kian suddenly held his arm and crouched won.
「What's wrong?」
「No,......, it's nothing.」
「It can't be nothing. Let me see your arm.」
「Don't worry about it.」
「I do care. Just show me. Let me see!」
With lean movements, she entered his pocket and rolled up the sleeves of his leather coat and chainmail.
What came out from underneath was skin covered in scars.
His shoulders and arms were a little swollen.
「You didn't take care of your wounds.」
「I had no more magic power.」
「Your arms are swollen, too, and you have a fever.」
A cool hand was placed on the swollen skin.
It felt so good that he can't help but shiver
「You're being reckless. ......」
Arueno touched Kian's ear and neck with her other hand.
She seemed to be measuring his pulse through his neck.
Her long hair swayed, and the sweet, gentle scent of lavender tickled his nose.
「I wanted to surprise you, Arueno-san, so I hunted hard for the Griffin. It was worth the pain if you would be kind to me like this.」
Kian's eyes fluttered behind his glasses and a big smile appeared on his face.
Arueno pulled her lips into a tight line.
「Before we close the wound, we need to cleanse the wound with proper blood. You can't just cover it with water and say, "Okay, that's it". Hey, are you listening to me? This is not the time to be smiling like that. Do you understand?」
「Yes, of course.」
「You don't seem to understand at all. ...... Okay, I'll lend you a bath.」
Arueno said and took a bunch of herbs from the shelf.
She then snapped her fingers and the wall behind the study desk slowly slid to the side.
There seemed to be a narrow passage at the back.
「There's a bathroom in the back, you can use it. ...... Both of your arms are swollen. I'm going to bend and stretch them a little. ...... How it is, does it hurt?」
「It's bearable.」
「I'm not asking if you can stand it! You're such a hopeless person」
Arueno put her hands on his hips.
She pushed Kian back and pushed him deeper into the passage.
At the end of the narrow, dark passageway was a changing room the size of the ramshackle room they had slept in before.
Beyond that was a spacious bathhouse.
The bathroom was definitely bigger than the room in the "Pigs' Foot Pavilion".
「Is it okay to build a bath in a place like this?」
「You can't. It's obvious.」
Arueno said plainly, opening a drawer in the changing room and taking out towels and soap one after another.
Kian looked up at the ceiling of the changing room.
It was a great luxury for someone who only wiped himself in a tub filled with hot water or bathed in the river. He hadn't had a bath since Azrair.
「That's why don't tell anyone what you saw here.」
「Are you sure you want me to use it?」
「That's what I'm saying. But there won't be the next time. The next time you come in with a dragon's blood on your hands, I will not let you in. Now take off your black coat and wash your bloody body!」
「I'm sorry. Thank you very much. Now then, excuse me.」
Kian put his hands on his coat and chainmail without hesitation.
His arms hurt a lot, but he managed to take them off by himself, partly because he was wearing light clothes.
「 ...........Kuhh. ......」
「I'll do that for you」
Arueno stretches out her arm from beside Kian, who is struggling.
She loosens his belt and pulls out the sleeves of his chainmail.
As she flips up the garment, along with the shirt, the man's stomach comes out from underneath.
He heard a small gasp from Arueno, who was bent over Kian's waist.
Her hooded golden hair twitched and bounced.
From Kian's position, he couldn't see the expression on her face - but he could vaguely feel the jewel-like green eyes tracing his abs and pecs.
「Ta-Take off your pants yourself.」
「Of course.」
「Can you wash by yourself?」
「It might be difficult.」
When Kian said that, Arueno looked up and gave him a glare.
「Put this bunch of herbs in the bathtub, please.」
「Bouquet garni? Are you trying to cook?」
He couldn't help but poke fun at the saga of wearing glasses.
It wasn't a very funny joke (in fact, it was annoying), but Arueno couldn't have smiled more.
「Ufufu, yes. The ingredient is you. I hope you get a good broth.」
「How scary. It seems that what they said earlier about witches is true.」
「Shut it and come in. If you don't, I'll really turn you into soup.」
Arueno was still smiling, but her eyes were not smiling at all.
Kian returned to a straight face and nodded one polite nod, took off his bottoms, and opened the sliding door of the bathhouse.
「Hoouh......」
An unintentional sigh of admiration escaped him as he stepped into the bathroom.
Inside was an expanse of the black, smooth stone floor.
A large bathtub in the center.
A shower was attached to the back wall.
(Eastern style. This bath reminded me of Azrair. Still, I can't believe that such a serious-looking woman would even have her own private bathroom in the underground.)
Perhaps Arueno is a person with a lot of playfulness.
Kian looked into the tub that she pushed at him.
There was soap and a towel inside.
The towels belonged to the monastery.
The soap was probably smelted.
(It's convenient to be a magician, after all. I'd like to improve my swordsmanship, but eventually, I'd like to develop the power of the "Shoot" system.)
『Why don't you take off your underwear for now?』
「Right.」
As Kian nodded, a sliding door suddenly opened behind him with great force.
It was probably Arueno who came in without needing to look back.
He turned around to see if he had forgotten something.
「――――」
「............」
There was an elf sister in a thin negligee-like dress standing there with an angry look on her face.
She was not wearing any underwear, and the tops of her ample breasts were pointy.
The peach color of her breasts seemed to shine through.
She spoke quickly, avoiding eye contact with Kian.
「I'm just going to wash your body. You can't wash yourself properly with your arms, can you?」
