Ah! Aah! Aaaaah…!

Bolder actions?!

My mind cleared up from those overly aggressive words.

“Kyaaaak!”

Thud!

“Ughk!”

I screamed and tried to escape by rolling to the side, but I fell to the floor.

“J-Jin-sang nim!? Are y-you okay?”

Perhaps surprised by my sudden fall.

Celine worried about me in her usual voice.

I didn’t miss this chance and jumped up, hugging myself as I summoned all my courage and shouted.

“Ce-Celine-ssi… you wild beauty!”

“W-wild beauty?”

“The debt repayment was very good! I almost fell for your aggressive charm! But y-you should value your body more!”

I quickly put on my top that had fallen to the floor and dashed toward the door.

“J-Jin-sang nim!”

Celine called after me in a confused voice.

I flung the door open, then peeked back at Celine and said.

“N-no matter how attractive Celine-ssi is! My p-principles are firm! Goodbye!”

To be honest, if I didn’t blurt out these words and leave immediately, I might have completely given in.

Then I closed the door and ran to my room in the Adventurer’s Guild.

◈

Seeing Jin-sang nim leave the room, I couldn’t help but be confused.

I never expected him to scream and run out of the room.

I thought men would easily give in when women made advances, from what I heard from my guild colleagues.

But it seems Jin-sang nim.

Is much more timid and cuter than I thought.

“Fufu.”

I couldn’t help but laugh as I recalled Jin-sang nim screaming and hugging himself.

Each of his reactions seemed cute.

Even if it wasn’t very manly.

I didn’t find it pathetic at all.

“I have quite a bit of time left now.”

Until just a moment ago, I thought Jin-sang nim would accept my offer and do something bolder.

But unexpectedly, I now had more time to spend alone.

I might as well clean up.

I got up from the bed, put my skirt back on, and started cleaning the room.

For some reason, my body felt hot, and when I came to my senses after focusing on cleaning, it was lunchtime.

Feeling hungry, I used the ingredients I had stored at home to make a simple meal.

Maybe I made it too spicy, as I could feel heat on my face.

“…”

I put down the dishes on the table with a thud.

No, let’s be honest.

Since I started cleaning, my rationality, which had gone wild without me noticing, gradually returned.

I realized what I had demanded from Jin-sang nim.

And I recognized that I had done something outrageous while claiming to repay my debt.

“Aaaaaaah…!”

I wanted to die of embarrassment.

What was that?

What on earth did I do to Jin-sang nim?

This wasn’t the original plan!

Originally, I was going to give Jin-sang nim a massage!

Or since he hadn’t eaten yet, make him breakfast!

Or ask if he had any questions as an adventurer and answer them!

How did it come to this!

The “I’ll do anything for you” was honestly just a joke because I found Jin-sang nim’s nervous appearance amusing!

Wasn’t it because I thought Jin-sang nim wouldn’t cross the line even if he made slightly lewd requests!

“I should have stopped at the lap pillow…”

But I couldn’t.

I got nervous when Jin-sang nim took off his top and told me to take off my skirt.

Could it really happen?

Was Jin-sang nim much more wild than I thought?

What immediately broke that tension was his request for a lap pillow.

I felt dissatisfied with his unexpectedly tame response after I had been so tense.

But honestly, I didn’t dislike when he said he couldn’t forget my thighs that he saw in the Second Archives.

When I suggested he touch them and he said he lacked the courage, I felt deflated and my tension eased.

Then seeing Jin-sang nim wanting to feel my thighs with his chest, praising them as “soft-firm” and being so happy, made me smile a little.

But then Jin-sang nim asked.

If he could do something bolder.

I thought finally… the moment had come.

Jin-sang nim found my thighs attractive.

He truly enjoyed touching them.

So I tensed up thinking that this time he might really ask for something very bold.

And if Jin-sang nim made such a request, I was planning to gently give in.

But what Jin-sang nim requested was to bury his face in my thighs and smell them.

I got slightly angry at having been needlessly tense again.

I thought Jin-sang nim was quite vexing.

Having been so tense, I wanted a little revenge on Jin-sang nim for misleading me twice.

So I deliberately pressed my chest against his head.

I wanted to claim that Jin-sang nim’s requests belonged to an even lower and cuter category than this.

But then.

“Hyah!”

The moment I heard that voice, something inside me started tingling.

I found that unmanly voice amusing.

In fact, Jin-sang nim’s subsequent confusion and stuttering reactions made me even more wild.

After that…

Even now when I think about it, I believe I acted crazy.

Why! Why did I fondle Jin-sang nim’s body!

What kind of debt repayment was that!

That was practically harassment!

Taking pleasure in Jin-sang nim’s reactions each time I touched his body!

Even scolding Jin-sang nim when he tried to stop because it was too lewd!

And then I myself…!

“I-I played with J-Jin-sang nim’s n-nipples with my own hands for t-ten minutes…!”

I was truly insane at that time.

I enjoyed Jin-sang nim’s voice changing to become more and more interesting as I circled my finger, tickled, and pressed the center.

I was curious how his reddening expression would change if I touched him more.

The fact that Jin-sang nim, who was clearly stronger than me through training,

Was unable to move and made such weak and cute sounds because of my fingers made my body hot.

And if that wasn’t enough…

After he pointed out that 10 minutes had passed and made the correct statement about there being boundaries—something I should have said—I mocked him and tried to tempt him to cross the line with me…!

“Crazy woman…! I am… I am a crazy woman! Ah! Aah! Aaaaah…!”

In self-loathing, I threw myself onto the bed and kicked my legs wildly.

“In the first place! What if Jin-sang nim had given in!”

I didn’t even have any contraception!

What would have happened if we had done it!

It’s fortunate that Jin-sang nim knew where to draw the line!

That he was such a kind person who could maintain his composure even while receiving such treatment!

If we had gone through with it… if we had d-done it…!

-Fufu, does this feel good? Does this spot feel good, Jin-sang nim?

-N-no, Ce-Celine-ssi…! Hyaaaah!

Making him produce even cuter sounds…

Aaaaargh!

What am I imagining!

“Crazy woman! Crazy woman! Crazy woman…!”

I hit my head against the pillow repeatedly, disgusted by my own outrageous, vulgar, and stupid imagination.

“Aaah…”

How am I supposed to face Jin-sang nim tomorrow?

I remembered what Jin-sang nim said to me as he left.

-Ce-Celine-ssi… you wild beauty!

At first, I worried that Jin-sang nim might be wild, but the truly wild and barbaric one was me.

If Jin-sang nim doesn’t want to speak with a wild, crazy, lewd woman like me…!

“N-no. Jin-sang nim is not the kind of person who would say such things.”

Rather, he would greet me out of obligation…

-Um, th-then I’ll go take a quest now! L-Luna noona, let’s go!

And immediately leave to take on a quest.

“Ah, ah, aaaah…!”

Imagining this likely scenario made me feel even more disgusted with my crazy actions today.

After writhing in bed for a while, I calmed down a bit and decided.

“I-I must apologize… I must apologize.”

Tomorrow morning.

When I meet Jin-sang nim, I’ll apologize immediately.

Even if Jin-sang nim doesn’t accept my apology, I’ll apologize first.

I’ll sincerely apologize for my crazy actions.

If I don’t do at least that…

“Crazy… woman…”

I couldn’t forgive myself due to the self-loathing and disgust toward myself.

◈

“That’s what happened! Didn’t I, really show some courage!?”

When evening came.

I told Miriana noona about what happened today.

Miriana noona covered her mouth with a folding fan and asked me.

“Mmm, so you didn’t do it with Celine and just ran away?”

“It wasn’t running away! This was clearly an escape to firmly maintain my principles! And Celine-ssi was also somehow s-scary then? Wild? There was a strange atmosphere! If I had continued, something… something might have been bad for Celine-ssi too, so I really summoned my courage!”

After hearing my story, Miriana noona.

“Jin-sang.”

“Yes.”

“Well, I understand. Certainly, mixing bodies carelessly in such a situation… might be dangerous. But…

Can’t you even eat a meal that’s not only prepared… but literally being spoon-fed to you?”

She looked at me with cold eyes, as if staring at a pig in a farm.

“You total coward.”

That’s too harsh!

“This was f-for my principles…!”

“Throw away that cowardly stubbornness!”

Miriana noona threw her fan at me.

Thwack!

“Ow!”

Right in the forehead!
