Episode 281. Lee Hoyeon’s Harem Plan! (4)

“Right. Ah, next is Unnie. Heh….”

“Yeah. Unnie, right.”

I massaged Alice’s neck area, responding to her words as much as possible. As the saying goes, the best way to converse is to listen to the other person, so I chatted with her, listening intently to Alice’s words. Fortunately, as we talked, Alice seemed to have calmed down quite a bit.

I still don’t know the cause of that irritation, but it’s fine now that it’s gone.

After chatting for a while, Alice’s body seemed to be feeling better, and I continued the massage. Of course, most of it was information I already knew, so it was a bit boring… but when it came to Unnie, I had to pay attention.

“Unnie… Ha, it’s a bit difficult to say this myself.”

Alice made a displeased face, and finally opened her mouth.

“You have to be careful. Everyone else says she has a good personality, but in my opinion, she’s just a psycho.”

“…Really?”

I pretended not to know, but in my heart, I completely agreed.

A narcissist, homosexual, and involved in incest – that’s quite a rare combination. On top of that, her personality isn’t normal either. Since Unnie bullied her since childhood, Alice must hate her even more.

‘Come to think of it, why did she bully her?’

She fell in love with herself, realized she couldn’t marry herself, and sought Alice as a substitute – I know that story. Like how you bully a girl you like when you’re young… Is it something like that?

Alice said with a fed-up expression.

“Probably she won’t show you her true colors, so you’ll be fine. She only acts like that in front of me.”

“…Hmm… If you say so, then it must be. I’ll be careful.”

“……Right.”

Alice’s gaze towards me softened a little.

‘I definitely scored points with that.’

That was just something I blurted out unconsciously, but maybe my talent for charming women has finally awakened. What a terrifying talent…!

Squeeze-

I moved to the other side of the bed and took her arm, which I hadn’t massaged yet.

“Anyway… Ah, did I mention the pursuit team?”

“The pursuit team?”

I had already heard about it from Scarlet, but I answered as if hearing it for the first time.

“Yeah. It’s a team formed to catch the Centaur, and it consists of elites from the Iris Guild, which include Unnie and Father.”

“Oh…”

Sounds cool? An information guild doing something like that makes it seem like an evil organization rising up to protect their country.

“It’s not ‘Oh’. You’re joining that pursuit team.”

“Wouldn’t that make sense? Seeing the Centaur is my goal.”

It’s going according to my plan.

“That’s not it… Don’t you feel any pressure?”

“Hmm… There aren’t just one or two big shots around me. And the person I’m currently massaging is quite the big shot herself.”

Actually, if you think about it, Baek Ahyoung and Im Sol are also huge figures. They’re a world-renowned healer and mage. And the cadets are all crazy prospects… Since I’ve become quite famous too, I don’t really feel that pressure. The special perks also help keep me from feeling nervous.

Alice, perhaps embarrassed by the compliment at the end, smiled wryly and said.

“Right. I get it. But know this. You seem excited about seeing the Centaur right now… but you might have trouble meeting the Centaur.”

“Oh?”

Judging by her serious tone, it must be a strong one.

Alice continued her explanation.

“The Centaur basically uses an unknown magic. It’s a magic that makes them disappear without a trace when you get close, and while it’s presumed to be spatial teleportation, no residual magic power is left behind, making pursuit impossible.”

“Hmm…”

“Actually, the reason Father easily agreed is probably because of that. After all, even if we go looking, the Centaur will just disappear the moment it sees us, so we won’t be able to catch it.”

No wonder he agreed so easily… He had that intention too. He probably thought, ‘It’s impossible anyway.’

“Then why aren’t you giving up?”

“That Centaur is vicious and smart. It kills weaklings instantly when they come near, and if it thinks a fight will be tough, it runs away immediately. That’s why only elites can pursue it.”

“…What a formidable foe.”

Are all the guys from the Underworld this smart? Wait, why is Liliana like that?

“Anyway… Honestly, I think it would be better if you wished for something else right now. Even though he’s my dad, he has plenty of money, so you could definitely milk him for all he’s worth…”

“Are you worried about me?”

“…It’s not that. I’m just telling you to think realistically.”

“I can do it. It’s fine.”

“Hmph. Fine. You’ve got guts. Good luck.”

Alice, as if giving up on persuading me, shook her head. I appreciate her concern, but honestly, if it’s not the Centaur, there’s no need to go all the way to France. It’s the same with Liliana’s issue and the Pandemic issue; the Centaur could be the key.

“If you don’t believe me, do you want to come along too?”

I said, stroking Alice’s arm.

“Huh?”

“You said you wanted to leave your father’s side and go somewhere. If it’s safe, you could join the pursuit team too.”

If what Alice said was true, I could definitely bring her along. We have the excuse of coming for field training together, and if Alice wants to go, her doting father, Isaac, would surely allow it. Especially since it’s a safe place, not a dangerous one.

“…Is that so? But honestly, I’m not expecting much either. If it were someone we could catch, Father and Unnie would have caught them already.”

“Then it’s good that it’s safe. There’s no downside.”

“Ha. You’re good with words.”

Alice laughed incredulously, but she didn’t seem upset.

‘I managed to resolve this through conversation better than I expected.’

She seemed quite upset earlier, so I’m glad it turned out this way.

“You’ll gain valuable experience, so you can thank me in advance.”

“If that happens… I’d be grateful anytime.”

Alice’s eyes, looking at me, showed a spark of interest. See, it was a good thing I forced the massage. I’ve finally mastered the art of understanding women.

However, there was one problem…

“…Alice. So, about that, can I give you a breast massage?”

The massages for her arms and neck were finished, and my brain blurted it out without any filter. Technically, I could work on the mana circuits in her chest by touching her collarbone or upper abdomen. But. But… I couldn’t miss the chance to touch Alice’s breasts. That’s why I unconsciously blurted it out. Asking to touch her breasts…!

“…Now?”

“No, well… it’s a massage. It’s just the next step after the arms…”

★ Heroine Status Window

[Alice]

• [ Affection: 80 ]

• [ Lust: 80 ]

• [ Appetite: 35 ]

• [ Fatigue: 60 ]

Current Status: Am I just a pervert after all…?

Damn it. I should have held back a little. I couldn’t hold back and blurted it out. My affection points went up so much, they won’t drop again, right?

“… Haa. Can’t you do it over my clothes?”

“That’s a bit… Uh, yeah. It’s possible. It’s possible, but doing it over clothes means I have to touch for that much longer. Is that okay?”

“Hmm… That might be better.”

That was a close call. Up until now, I’d massaged her arm over her hospital gown, and I almost made a mistake thinking I had to touch bare skin now. Still, my quick thinking to create the ‘need for longer touch’ excuse was good. Very commendable.

“Then I’ll do it.”

I looked at Alice’s breasts as she lay there. At the same time, I glanced at Alice’s expression. She had her eyes closed, and looked relaxed. Her lips twitched slightly, suggesting she was a little nervous, but that was acceptable.

Without hesitation, I reached out my hand.

Squish-

Her breasts softly enveloped my hand. Although she was wearing clothes, due to the nature of the hospital gown, which was thin and loose, I could feel most of the sensation of her breasts.

“Hngh…”

As I continued working to widen her mana circuits, Alice let out a groan of suppressed pain.

Rub rub-

Anatomically, they’re just lumps of fat, but breasts are special because others can’t touch them. Alice’s breasts, which she doesn’t allow others to touch, I am touching. That fulfills a man’s sense of conquest and provides mental satisfaction.

“Ah, are we not done yet? Hoo.”

“…Yeah.”

I could finish quickly if I wanted to, but I’m dragging this out to touch these breasts for just a little longer. Even the long arm massage was just build-up.

Soft and firm breasts. I couldn’t get enough of touching them. As I continued rubbing her breasts, as if my hand and her breast became one, at one point, I felt something hard against my palm. Alice’s nipples had hardened and started to peak from rubbing against the clothes.

‘Oh!’

I can’t hold back now. I massaged her breasts more passionately. My fingers brushed against her nipples, and I deliberately pressed them. Of course, I continued working to widen her mana circuits.

“… Hng, ang…. Hhht!”

From then on, Alice tried her best to suppress her moans, and watching her, I toyed with Alice’s breasts for several minutes.

*

“If you do too much, you’ll get tired. Let’s do the area below the stomach tomorrow.”

“Uh, yeah. Yeah…”

Alice’s lips were trembling. This happens to a woman’s body after reaching climax. She had orgasmed from just the breast stimulation. Alice tried her best to stifle her moans, hoping I wouldn’t notice… but honestly, as the one touching her breasts, how could I not know?

• Haaat. Ha, ang, a, ahh… Hhup…

No matter how hard she tried to suppress those sounds, I couldn’t possibly miss them. Of course, I’m a sweet guy, so I pretended not to notice.

“Then rest up. I’ll come back tomorrow.”

“…Yeah. What time will you come tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow… I don’t have any specific plans. Should I come around lunchtime?”

Since I’ll be giving her a massage anyway, more time would be better.

“Ah, no. I have plans. Come at night. At night.”

“Aha. Got it.”

Alice, her face flushed, waved her hand. If she had plans, she could have just told me from the start.

“Then I’ll get going.”

“Yeah. Yeah…”

Watching Alice nod from the bed, I left the room.

Click-

As I closed the hospital room door, the quiet hallway greeted me. The soft sensation of her breasts still lingered on my hands. Regretfully, I clenched and unclenched my fist, but only air went in and out.

I checked the time. It was already past 10 PM. Normally, it wouldn’t be bedtime, but since it’s a hospital, you never know.

I headed straight to Nam Daeun’s room. It wasn’t far from Alice’s room. Arriving at the door, I hesitated whether to knock or not, then quietly opened the door and peeked inside. If they were asleep, I planned to just slip away.

The room had a dim nightlight on.

‘Are they asleep?’

Since I couldn’t sense any presence even after opening the door, it seemed certain. I slipped through the door, quieted my footsteps, and approached the bed.

‘As expected, they’re asleep.’

On the bed lay Nam Daeun, sleeping on her back with her eyes closed, and Nam Dahee, sleeping face-down on the bed. It’s understandable they’re tired. Nam Daeun was injured, and Nam Dahee must have been worried about her sister and nursing her diligently.

“Tsk.”

I should have come a little earlier. Meeting Surin noona, Liliana, and even Alice made me run late.

“Thank you. Daeun-ah.”

I gently stroked the head of the soundly sleeping Nam Daeun. Still, to have women willing to throw themselves for me, what a happy world this is. My heart felt warm.

Just then, the sleeping Nam Daeun opened one eye slightly and said.

“If you were grateful, you could have come a little earlier.”

I was startled and pulled my hand away from her forehead.

“Ah, crap. You scared me. You weren’t asleep?”

“Yeah. I was putting Dahee to sleep. Dahee just fell asleep. I heard the door open, so I pretended to be asleep.”

“…If you knew I was here, you could have woken up.”

I ended up showing a pathetic side for nothing. The manly Lee Hoyeon shouldn’t be seen like this.

“Dahee wanted to see you too… but you came too late, Hoyeon.”

“Sorry. I was talking with the visitors, and heard Alice was badly injured, so I went there first.”

“It’s okay. I’m not hurting that much either, I’m just lying here.”

Nam Daeun nodded, but I could tell.

“You’re lying.”

Her visible mana was fluctuating. It wasn’t as bad as Alice’s, but Nam Daeun’s condition didn’t look good either.

“You caught me. It actually hurts a bit. The barrier was so strong that even holding the knife was difficult.”

“I’m so sorry. Is there anything you need? Should I sing you a song until you fall asleep?”

I could at least sit beside you and sing a lullaby.

“Hoyeon’s love?”

Nam Daeun smiled cutely. It wasn’t the smile of someone naturally affectionate, but the gentle smile of someone usually quiet and reserved. Even a slight smile made her look adorable.

I smiled too and touched Nam Daeun’s cheek. Her soft skin felt quite pleasant.

“I’m always giving you that.”

“I’m just kidding. But could you give me some milk?”

Nam Daeun looked at me, smiling.

“Milk? Is it in the fridge?”

Did she even like milk?

“No, the milk of love.”

The milk of love. I pondered the meaning, then frowned and looked at Nam Daeun.

“The milk of love… Hey, you don’t mean…?”

“That’s exactly what I mean.”

I placed my hand on Nam Daeun’s forehead, as she looked towards my crotch. She was definitely a well-behaved girl. I’m sure of it.

“Even with Dahee right next to us?”

“But, I feel like I need it now to get my energy back.”

“…”

Seeing Nam Daeun playfully stick out her tongue with a mischievous smile, my hand instinctively went down towards my waist.
