Hero Healing Center.

You might not be able to pinpoint exactly what kind of place it is, but just take it at face value.

It provides a resting space for weary heroes.

It helps them relax enough to engage in active hero activities again.

So, what is the most important factor to consider in order to relieve the accumulated fatigue of heroes?

That would be the recovery of physical fatigue.

“Alright, you can lie down here.”

“Oh, okay….”

The main focus at the Healing Center is massage.

Despite the small size of the three-story building, they have equipped this cozy space, which can accommodate only one person, with a top-of-the-line massage bed.

Professional massages offered by former heroes.

It may sound simple and foolish, but in reality, this is an area that is strictly off-limits to ordinary people.

Because heroes are strong.

In other words, the sudden mutation of their bodies that occurs sporadically around the world is a completely different structure from that of ordinary people.

They can withstand being hit with bricks.

Dull knives won’t pierce their bodies.

If they are strong enough, they can even bounce bullets off like sponges.

In some cases, they are immune to powerful radiation and chemicals.

Since they are bodies that can survive being hit with concrete on the battlefield, it may sound obvious.

To truly be a hero, one must possess a strong body that can withstand even being crushed by a building.

I may not have become that true hero.

Nevertheless, in order to relieve the skin and muscles of heroes, it is not enough to use ordinary strength.

Strength that surpasses human limits.

Without the same mutation, there is no movement at all.

Of course, depending on the characteristics of the heroes, their abilities may excel while their physical abilities lag behind.

For those types, they may never let their guard down with other defense mechanisms, so I wanted to create a place where they could relax and heal.

“Are you sure it’s okay like this?”

“Yes, changing clothes takes time… I’m sorry.”

“I’m fine….”

Although they provided time to change into a gown, our illustrious first guest simply wanted to lie down on the massage bed fully clothed.

They didn’t even take off their mask, sunglasses, or hat, giving the impression that they didn’t want to reveal their identity.

“Well, they must have personal reasons for not wanting to show their face.”

Anonymity is important, and unnecessary small talk may not be welcomed, so I refrain from prying.

Adjusting to the guest’s pace is the first step in healing.

Rather than small talk, I started with a full-on prone position.

“…Quite stiff.”

Touching their body, I could feel the physical strength of the hero.

I checked by pressing with a gentle intensity overall.

It seems like they are quite a renowned hero. As I touched their shoulders, scapula, and trapezius muscles, I couldn’t help but admire their well-developed strong physique.

However,

“Guest, could you please relax a bit so I can start the massage?”

“….”

If a hero with such a strong body is as tense as when catching a monster, the massage won’t start at all.

After asking them to relax a bit, they take a deep breath and their shoulders drop.

At that moment,

Squeeze♡

“….Huh!?”

The guest was surprised.

When I pressed firmly on their shoulders with my thumb, they jolted as if caught off guard, then quickly sat up from the bed and covered their mouth.

Then, feeling embarrassed, they lowered their arms again and turned their face away.

“Haha, did that feel good?”

“….(nodding)!”

The guest replied in a muffled voice, hiding their face like a clam.

I felt a sense of pride.

My efforts didn’t disappoint me, I reassured myself.

I didn’t slack off before starting this business.

Since deciding to open a shop, I’ve been practicing diligently every day with special dolls made of steel.

Not only that, I added studying that I didn’t do before, memorizing the entire muscle structure and learning the names and locations of the bones.

After a failure, I didn’t believe in just one plausible idea.

Moreover, if I fail this time, I’m really finished. It’s my final gamble, and I didn’t want to leave any regrets.

“Ah, ah…♡”

First, I gently loosened the body using my fingertips.

At first, I gently touched the entire back as if painting on a canvas, then pressed down with proper force.

Although I retired as a mediocre B-class hero, I have confidence in my strength.

Codename: Kang Punch. The manifested ability didn’t help in hero activities, but my physical strength was acknowledged.

“Uh, ah…!”

Every time I pressed, a moan escaped.

The body warmed up, and the sound of muscles loosening could be heard.

“Ah, ah…! Right there, that feels good!”

As time passed, the customer involuntarily signaled that they were feeling good.

I had studied well, so in my excitement, I pressed harder on the shirt.

Caught up in the atmosphere, as I reached up to the waist, I paused and asked the customer for one more favor.

“Excuse me, customer.”

“…Yes?”

“I’m thinking of working on your waist a bit, could you lift your shirt a bit? I feel a bit uneasy without seeing it…”

“…(nods)”

Perhaps feeling embarrassed, the customer cutely nodded and lifted the shirt just enough to reveal the waist.

As soon as I folded the shirt, a slender waistline and slightly sweaty, beautiful back muscles were revealed.

…Thump!

Seeing the real customer for the first time made me nervous.

However, I shook my head to dispel any personal feelings and focused on the task at hand.

“Now, I’ll go a bit harder from now on.”

I stimulated the waist with physical strength and a light weight.

Grrr!

“Ah, ah…!”

Knowing that I had to be careful, I applied pressure to the entire pelvis, avoiding the dangerous lumbar area. I balanced the left and right sides perfectly, releasing the tension and providing stimulation.

Twitch, twitch♥

As I pressed firmly, the customer’s legs trembled, signaling pleasure.

Considering this a sign of success, I continued to focus and moved down to the lower body.

I carefully avoided sensitive areas on the thighs and rotated my palms to release tension.

I paid attention to the calves and ankles, providing the right amount of friction considering the denim pants.

To help the tired day of a hero come to an end.

“Phew, done! Now, would you mind turning around so I can work on your upper body?”

A satisfied exhale.

But perhaps due to my gratitude towards the first customer, the massage seemed to be a bit too thorough.

“…?”

When I signaled for them to turn around, the customer, who had been silent for a long time, slowly turned their body, emitting a strong scent of sweat and a flushed complexion through the mask.

‘Ah… so this is what happens when the body gets too hot.’

The massage practice was quite different from the real thing.

I was so focused on stimulating pleasant places and loosening muscles that I ran overboard.

As a result, a very sensual smell emanated from the current client.

From a male perspective, it seemed like… I had done something inappropriate.

“Th-then! I will massage your arms and feet!”

I quickly changed directions.

I had originally planned to focus on the shoulders and waist, but I quickly turned to the arms and feet, which were definitely not sensual.

“N-no, that’s not…”

“Yes?”

“It’s been a long time, and I think it’s okay now…”

…Is this a sign that they’ve had enough?

Looking back at the timer I had set when they came in, it seemed like an hour had almost passed.

“Ah… I understand.”

I had initially planned for a one-hour service, but since it was my first client, I was willing to provide more service.

However, I would follow the client’s direction if that’s what they wanted.

Their face still unseen, I wasn’t sure what they thought of the initial service I provided, but since they seemed somewhat satisfied, I thought I had provided it adequately—

Rustle!

“…………Huh?”

Just as I thought that, the client suddenly started stripping.

Shirt. Not only that, they sat on the edge of the bed, unbuttoned their jeans as if annoyed, and slid them down.

With only a hat on their head, they covered their face with sunglasses and a mask, then returned to the massage bed.

“….”

“….”

The client who had turned into a vampire.

Sitting askew in front of me in lace-embroidered, translucent underwear.

“C-client… what on earth—”

I was about to ask what they were doing, but,

“Ah… I see!”

Wide open♥

“Since it’s your first time, would this… make you more comfortable?”

Their legs spread out as if they realized it belatedly.

Turning their head in embarrassment, they greeted me with a posture full of shame.

Their dilated pupils shook violently at the sight of the fatal black underwear and the exposed flesh.

The sweat from receiving massages all over, the strong odor pierced my nose.

The voluptuous breasts gathered in a pretty shape, and the sensual underwear left no place for my eyes to rest.

The confession that followed was truly a critical moment.

“Because it’s embarrassing, please come in quickly…♥”

Where are you coming in.

I was at a loss for what to do and felt like I was falling into a well.

Only this phrase came to mind. I couldn’t bring myself to say it out loud, so I shouted it inwardly.

We’re not that kind of establishment, are we???
