Gas Relief Medicine!

The next day.

As usual, I woke up in the morning, washed my body, and went downstairs.

Today I was going to do my serving job and then check if Luna noona was able to take on a quest…

“Jin-sang nim.”

At that moment, Celine called my name, standing right at the bottom of the stairs.

“Ce-Celine-ssi!”

My body trembled at Celine’s appearance.

It was because my body remembered the wild beauty state Celine was in yesterday.

But fortunately, I suppose.

Celine’s current expression didn’t have that wild beauty atmosphere.

“W-what brings you here?”

“Ah, I, um… c-could you spare me! A moment? Just a very brief one.”

Celine asked me with an anxious face.

Things are a bit awkward because of yesterday’s events, but.

Since the usually angelic Celine has always treated me kindly, I nodded.

“Yes. A short time is fine.”

“Thank you. Then… please follow me.”

I walked through the Adventurer’s Guild with Celine.

Hmm? This route seems familiar…

And as my intuition suggested.

The place Celine guided me to was the Second Archives.

Celine and I entered the Second Archives.

There was no one inside.

As I closed the door upon entering.

Celine immediately turned to me and.

“I’m truly sorry about yesterday, Jin-sang nim!”

She apologized to me with a 90-degree bow.

“Ce-Celine-ssi?”

“I-I was insane! Y-you clearly reprimanded me rationally, but I-I…!”

Looking closely, Celine’s ears were very red.

She must have realized that what she did yesterday was, upon reflection, a very embarrassing act.

Th-that’s a relief.

I was secretly worried that she might suddenly approach me and ask, “Why did you run away yesterday?” followed by “Let’s continue where we left off.”

If th-that happened, I would give in!

My principles would become weird!

“Celine-ssi, please raise your head first! I forgive you!”

I didn’t want to keep seeing Celine bowing, so I told her to raise her head.

“A-are you sure?”

“Yes. Well, I also made a strange request at first yesterday. Let’s call it e-even!”

“B-but…”

“Be-besides, I… saw the wild? Celine-ssi and it was n-nice? Honestly, it wasn’t unp-pleasant…”

“What? Jin-sang nim? What did you just say?”

Suddenly, Celine stepped closer to me.

“Celine-ssi!?”

“I’m sorry, but could you please say that again? It wasn’t bad… you said?”

“Huh? Oh, yes… well? I was s-surprised, but it w-was debt repayment? in the end, right? You seemed to get a bit c-carried away. Ah. Come to think of it, does that side of you show when you get excited?”

“No! How could that be! That was my f-first time too. To think that I would do such… such insane acts…!”

Celine’s face turned bright red again.

She must be quite embarrassed about her actions yesterday.

“Celine-ssi, please don’t… blame yourself too much. People sometimes get carried away? Make mistakes, you know. Besides, specifically? No one was harmed.”

“Were you really alright, Jin-sang nim? Weren’t you… harassed by me yesterday?”

So she does think of it as harassment.

“Ha, haha. Still, what felt good was good! If I really disliked it, I wouldn’t have just stayed still.”

“You ran away.”

“That was because the atmosphere got weird and you were trying to cross the line.”

And I have my principles.

“I see. That’s true. …Jin-sang nim. There’s one thing I’d like to ask.”

“What is it?”

“If… if I hadn’t said let’s do something bolder, would you have stayed?”

“Well… I g-guess so? Your rough and wild side wasn’t… d-disliked. I liked your thighs, and being t-touched there? Since it was you, Celine-ssi, I actually liked it.”

“Actually?”

“Since you’re usually gentle, there was a gap with your usual self. Receiving that in such a state made it… thrilling? Ahem! Ahem! I’m too embarrassed to say any more!”

“I-I see! I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have asked.”

“No, I’m extremely happy just that you apologized like this. Ah, is our business done now?”

I should get to the restaurant and prepare.

“Yes. Our business is concluded. Thank you for your time.”

“This much is nothing.”

“However.”

“However?”

Celine suddenly moved even closer to me.

“Ce-Celine-ssi?!”

I stepped backward at the sudden movement.

Thud—my back hit the wall.

Even so, Celine came closer, placing her hand on my chest, her thighs touching mine.

“I don’t think yesterday’s events fully repaid my debt. Rather, what happened yesterday… was more like me being disrespectful than repaying the debt. So…”

Celine suddenly grabbed my shoulders and brought her face close.

Ce-Ce-Ce-Ce-Celine-ssi!?

And Celine whispered in my ear.

“The debt repayment is still outstanding. If Jin-sang nim wishes, please let me know anytime to set a date. At that time, I’d like to… properly repay my debt.”

“Y-y-y-yes!”

What should I do.

Her whispering voice in my ear made my body twitch!

Then Celine backed away from me again and said with her usual smile.

“Then I’ll take my leave. I hope you have a good day today.”

With a creak, Celine opened the door of the Second Archives and went outside.

The tension drained from my body, and I slid down to the floor.

“Wh-what is a proper debt repayment…?”

Even though I voiced my question, there was no one to answer.

◈

Lunchtime.

After finishing my serving job and eating, I was waiting for Luna noona.

“J-Jin-sang… ah… urgh.”

Luna noona did come to the Adventurer’s Guild.

But she didn’t look well.

Luna noona approached me, covering her stomach with one hand and her mouth with the other.

I had a rough idea why she was like that.

“Luna noona.”

“Y-yes. J-Jin-sang. Sorry… t-today’s qu-quest urgh…!”

“Looks like your snack stomach capacity was insufficient.”

“U-urgh…”

As I thought, it seemed she ate an entire box of golden carrots yesterday and now her stomach was upset.

“Was it delicious?”

“Y-yes! It was s-super delicious! E-even though I’m like this now… I-I have no re-regrets… urgh!”

In that state, shouldn’t you have regrets?

Still, I’m glad Luna noona seemed to have enjoyed herself yesterday.

“J-Jin-sang, how was y-your debt repayment with Ce-Celine-ssi yesterday?”

I proudly gave Luna noona a thumbs up and said.

“It was pretty good!”

Her thighs!

Ahem, and that spot…

“I-I see… urgh!”

“Luna noona. Your stomach doesn’t feel good, right?”

“Y-yes…”

“Let’s try walking while gathering herbs first. If you feel too bad, we’ll stop right away.”

“O-okay… urgh!”

So Luna noona and I took on an herb gathering quest and left the city.

But.

“U-urgh! J-Jin-sang…”

Luna noona showed her limits before we even reached the forest where the herbs were.

“Lu-Luna noona, are you okay?”

“Let’s… r-rest… a little…”

“Yes.”

Since we couldn’t keep moving, I took out a leather cloth from my backpack to lay on the ground, sat on it and patted my thigh.

“Lie down a bit.”

“J-Jin-sang?”

“Right now, my leg is the only pillow available.”

“Urgh, th-thank you…”

Normally she would have declined, but Luna noona must have felt really bad because she obediently rested her head on my thigh.

Maybe because her stomach was upset, Luna noona’s twitching rabbit ears were drooping.

I felt sorry for Luna noona, but her drooping ears were cute.

Cute!

Anyway, Luna noona’s complexion was pale and she looked unwell.

I thought walking would help digest a bit.

“Luna noona, are you okay?”

“L-lying down makes it a b-bit better… H-hey, J-Jin-sang…”

“Yes.”

“Can your m-magic also h-heal an upset st-stomach?”

“Um… I wonder? Honestly, I’m not sure. Should we try?”

“P-please… urgh.”

I immediately cast a recovery spell on Luna noona.

“Heal! How is it?”

“St-still the same…”

“Stamina Heal!”

“It might be… slightly better…?”

“That might have just restored the energy you lost from feeling sick. Then lastly… Cure!”

Wooooong!

“Huh… Oh. Wow!”

As soon as I cast Cure, Luna noona’s complexion improved immediately.

“Oh! Noona, your complexion looks better—”

“J-Jin-sang! I’m all better—”

Bonk!

“Aargh!”

“Ah!”

My head and Luna noona’s collided as I leaned down to check her complexion while she sat up in excitement that her upset stomach was cured.

“Ow, it hurts…!”

“J-Jin-sang! Are y-you okay?”

“I’m f-fine… I’m fine. Heal…”

Woong!

The pain subsided as I cast Heal.

“More importantly, is your stomach okay, Luna noona?”

“Yes! I’m c-completely cured! The bloating and upset stomach are g-gone! A-amazing, Jin-sang!”

“Hehe, I’m glad Luna noona is better.”

It seems Cure also functions as a gas relief medicine.
