[Episode 189] – Podoongpodoong

“Mother, wouldn’t it be good for you to start exercising little by little?”

“Huh? Suddenly…?”

“…It’s not ‘suddenly.’ I mentioned it last time too, didn’t I? Mother, you’ve gained weight.”

After breakfast, returning to her room to enjoy tea.

At the sudden remark from Titania, “Mother, you’ve gained weight,” I almost spit out the tea I was drinking. Coughing after swallowing the tea incorrectly, Titania handed me a handkerchief and sighed.

“To be honest, if it were just gaining weight, it wouldn’t matter. I love my mother even if she gains weight. But the biggest problem is your ‘physical strength.’ Your lack of physical strength is so concerning because it’s really lacking.”

“Cough! Cough! Am I really that…?”

Titania nodded silently while sipping her tea. She had vaguely thought that her stamina was weakening as the years went by, but she hadn’t expected to hear such words from Titania.

I manage my figure with the help of maids, but is it not enough? I pinched my arm fat, thinking maybe I really have gained weight. It doesn’t seem like there’s a noticeable increase, but…

However, I had no idea how to go about exercising. The only exercise I do indoors is yoga taught by the maids, and it’s difficult to do aerobic exercise by running in the garden without attracting attention.

If I start controlling my diet from now on, the weight will naturally come off, but the problem is the ‘stamina’ Titania mentioned. Unless I exercise regularly, my stamina won’t improve. What should I do?

“What should I do…”

When I think of exercise, last night suddenly comes to mind and my face flushes. There’s a saying about that. That, that’s exercise on the bed. The muscle pain and backache proved it. After doing that with Titania, the next morning, my waist, which had been fine, felt as loose as if a screw had fallen out overnight. Could that be considered exercise? That thought crossed my mind.

I recalled the memories of last night and brewed some tea to cool down my heated head. Then, Titania looked at me, sighed, and made a helpless expression.

“I’m sorry, but what Mother and I do at night doesn’t count as ‘exercise.’”

“Hmph! Cough! Cough!”

Can she read my mind? Titania tilted her head as if she could see through my simple thoughts. But why isn’t that exercise? Surely, sweating and muscle pain are involved…

“But isn’t that enough to be considered exercise…?”

“Should I tell you honestly, or should I sugarcoat it a bit?”

Titania sighed and glanced at me. Why did she even create an option to choose what to say? It seemed like an option where I might get hurt if I heard it honestly…

“…Tell me honestly.”

“Alright. To be honest-”

Even if it hurts, I wanted to hear Titania’s honest opinion.

“What Mother and I do is not ‘sex.’ So, it can’t be considered exercise. Besides, Mother doesn’t even move in bed, so how can that be exercise?”

“Uhh, really?”

“What we’re doing right now is more accurately described as me helping Mother ‘relieve her sexual desires.’ Helping Mother find comfort with my fingers and tongue? That kind of feeling.”

Titania grinned, made a V-shape with her fingers, and then put her lips in the middle, sticking out her tongue to lick. I felt like I knew what that gesture meant; it made my head feel hot.

“Sex is an act where both parties find satisfaction, right? Since I’m satisfying Mother unilaterally, what we’re doing can’t be called sex.”

“……”

…Listening to her, it was true. I’ve only received what Titania has done twice so far. Come to think of it, that’s what men and women do.

So, what should I do from now on?

Should I touch Titania? Should I touch her body like she does to me, and lick her here and there? Well, it’s not that I don’t want to… “Should I say that I don’t know what to do…”

As I thought about it, my face turned red as if it would explode at any moment. Until now, just receiving pleasure from Titania seemed burdensome enough, so I hadn’t thought about such things.

“And the reason I said I have to exercise is because of our ‘night work.’ Mother falls asleep as if she faints after satisfying herself alone. Please think about me being left alone after that.”

“Uh, yeah… I’m sorry…”

Perhaps because a lot had built up, Titania grumbled with dissatisfaction. As I sullenly lowered my head, Titania sighed heavily as if frustrated.

With that sigh, an unbearable silence settled in the room. As I pondered Titania’s words, I felt self-reproach for how selfish I had been all this time.

“…Anyway, I’ll find a good instructor to teach Mother how to exercise. So, please build up your stamina for Mother’s sake, for my sake. Do you understand?”

Yes, since I felt my stamina diminishing as I got older anyway. Quietly nodding in response to Titania’s words, I sipped my tea to soothe my unsettled mind.

“…Alright, do your best.”

*

That afternoon. Just a few hours after declaring that I would start exercising, I regretted it madly. I never knew the instructor Titania found would be like this.

“Come on! Your Majesty! Just one more time! Just one more time! That’s all you need to do!!”

“Ugh! Didn’t I just say to do it one more time a moment ago?!”

“I couldn’t count because Your Majesty’s figure is so beautiful! Come on! Just one more time!”

The legs, strained from doing squats, were trembling like a bamboo in the wind. I wanted to curse at the human who resembled a parrot, shouting “Just one more!” and lying down on the spot, but somehow gritting my teeth, I stood up. As I rose, the parrot-like person grabbed my shoulder again and forced me to sit down. Really, this is beyond unreasonable…!

“Your Majesty, you did really well! Just one more for that reason! Just one more!”

“I can’t take this anymore! Didn’t you say it was the last one with your own mouth?”

“I don’t remember! Just one more!”

I ground my teeth arrogantly. As time passed, nothing but hatred and anger accumulated towards that damn parrot, and it seemed that I moved only with the thought of kicking them out as soon as this ended.

And so time passed.

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

“Huff, haa, well, you worked hard too.”

After five more times, I finally finished the exercise and collapsed on the floor. All I could do while collapsed was glare at the parrot with eyes full of resentment, panting heavily.

“Well then, I will visit you again at this time tomorrow.”

“T-tomorrow…?”

“Yes, because exercise must be done consistently. Especially squats. At first, your thighs might feel thicker, but as you continue, they will gradually become thinner.”

“Is that so…?”

“Yes, indeed. Your current Majesty is very beautiful, but if you trust and follow me, I promise to return you to your beautiful appearance in your twenties.”

It’s not like appearance matters much…

But I do need to build up my stamina. I nodded wearily, and the parrot bid me farewell with an aristocratic gesture, reminding me not to forget to stretch, then swiftly left the room.

After sitting on the floor for a moment, catching my breath, I somehow managed to get up with trembling legs like a bamboo and collapsed onto the bed. Really, do I have to do this every day from now on?

“I’m going to die…”

The light clothes I put on for exercise were soaked with sweat. My whole body felt sticky as if I had taken a bath in sweat, and not only my clothes but also my underwear were drenched, making me feel uncomfortable.

I roughly took off the sweaty clothes and threw them on the floor, then, dressed only in my underwear, I struggled to get up from the bed and looked at the mirror in front of the room. Honestly, compared to before, I seem to have gained weight.

Thicker thighs, a slightly larger chest and hips causing the underwear to fit poorly, and even my sharp facial features seemed to have become somewhat rounder. Moreover, the biggest change was…

“…I need to go on a diet.”

It was my belly fat that I could slightly grab with my fingers. It’s hard to believe that there is “fat” on a stomach that used to be flat. Even though recently I’ve been lax in mind, eating a lot and snacking frequently…

“Is it because of my age… or is it just my problem…”

Even if I wanted to blame it on my age, there were too many things that pricked my conscience. With a sullen expression, I forcefully pinched the fat I grabbed, sighed, and collapsed back onto the bed.

Thinking about future dietary plans and exercise made me feel dizzy, almost nauseous. If I think about doing what I did today every day, I want to quit right away…

“Mom, are you done with your workout?”

“Yeah… I am…”

Groaning, lying down, Titania, who had entered the room at some point, looked down at me. I wanted to greet her properly, but I couldn’t because I was groaning as if my whole body was aching.

“Was it that hard?”

“…Because I’m doing something I haven’t done before…”

I was so tired that I couldn’t even finish my sentence properly, so I just let myself be enveloped by her gaze. I felt like I could sleep comfortably if I fell asleep like this. Just as I was about to fall asleep…

“Did you do the final stretching?”

“…Can’t I do it after I wake up?”

“It won’t work. When you wake up, you probably won’t even be able to get up because of muscle pain, right? At least stretch your muscles and then go to sleep so that you’ll be more comfortable later.”

“But…”

I just didn’t have the energy to stretch. I had pushed my body to its limits from the first day, so even if I wanted to get up, I couldn’t, and my arms and legs were trembling involuntarily from the squats.

“…If it’s that difficult for you, should I give you a massage?”

“A massage?”

“Yes, just lie down. I’ll help you.”

Tatiana said softly as she gently kneaded both of my shoulders. As she pressed on the tense muscles with her fingers, a low moan escaped my lips without me realizing it. If it was really a massage…

“…In that case, may I ask for your help?”

“Of course. Leave it to me.”

Tatiana smiled and gently stroked my shoulders. Well, if I can’t do stretching, at least I can get a massage from Tatiana. So, I closed my eyes and waited for Tatiana’s touch…

“In that case, shall we move to the bathroom?”

“The bathroom…?”

I turned my head with a creak and looked at Tatiana sitting next to me. As if she had already anticipated this situation, there was a basket next to Tatiana filled with oil and aromatic oils for the massage.

“Yes, in the bathroom. Surely, you don’t plan to sleep without washing after getting all sweaty, do you?”

“Oh…”

At Tatiana’s sly smile, I couldn’t say anything and buried my head in the blanket. Well, I could imagine what might happen in the bathroom in the future.

Truly, such a perverted daughter…
