“Time… is it?”

I loitered around in front of the door, checking the time again, something I had checked several times before.

“Sniff sniff…”

I also checked the smell of the nape of the neck and hair.

Holy.

The new man that Evanim brought to the Magic Tower.

And, embarrassingly, he was the first friend I made properly at the Magic Tower.

He himself had a hard time making friends.

Students other than Rebecca’s class were either afraid of her magic or afraid of her younger sister.

The other two in Rebecca’s class were a little harder to get along with.

“I know they’re both good people, but…”

One avoided being active, while the other only talked about the number.

I wanted to become close with him, but it was true that it was difficult.

In the meantime, Seonghan, who had come in, treated her calmly.

He was a precious friend who even protected his younger brother’s honor.

“Are we friends, right…?”

I was a little worried though.

I wonder if he invited me to his room because he thought of me as a friend?

“Hoo…”

I lightly tapped my cheeks with both hands and came to my senses.

“You can do it. Let’s do it!”

I overcame my tension and knocked on the door.

“Hey, hey… Me, it’s me! ”

The words came out as if they were from a fraud.

It seems that the tension was not relieved by the slight slap on the cheek.

Squeak.

The door opened and Seonghan greeted him.

“Welcome.”

“Ugh…”

The man’s room.

It was the first time.

Of course, my younger brother Kai’s room is an exception.

As soon as I stepped into the room in a nervous state, a certain smell tickled my nose.

“A peculiar smell…”

“I bought it because it was a popular perfume…”

“No! I like it. This smell.”

It was a little unique so I just wondered what it smelled like.

I didn’t hate the smell itself.

Rather, it was closer to the good side.

It smells like wet earth after rain, but also like walking through a forest.

It was a scent that made me feel like I was in nature.

“Okay, let’s do this.”

“Ah, huh!”

I was given a long towel.

I took off my clothes and wrapped a towel around me in a partitioned area for the massage.

Although I was embarrassed by my slightly exposed shoulders and thighs.

‘I guess it would be weird to be embarrassed?’

Because this is a massage.

Thinking that this was normal, I laid down on the prepared bed according to Seonghan’s instructions.

Let’s not be conscious of it.

Because Seonghan does it with good intentions.

As I lay down, I never thought, ‘This is a boy’s bed I’m lying in for the first time.’

“Relax, relax.”

“Ugh!”

He answered in a voice that anyone could tell was full of strength.

You might as well close your eyes.

Yeah, I felt like if I closed my eyes, the tension would naturally go away.

I closed my eyes and heard the sound of slippery oil.

A skin-friendly oil purchased from the development layer.

You apply it to your hands first.

“It might be a little cold.”

Seonghan’s hand touched his shoulder.

Contrary to my concerns, the temperature of the lotion was just right.

Are your hands naturally warm?

It was a palm that became tired just by touching it.

Thanks to that, the tension was relieved.

Ten minutes passed as Seonghan slowly pressed all over her body with his hands.

“How are you? Does it hurt?”

“Yeah!”

It was a needless worry.

Even though his handling seemed a little awkward, Seonghan was definitely skilled.

I was quite satisfied with the appropriate amount of force applied to my neck and shoulders.

“Then, to conclude…”

“…Huh?”

Jerit.

At that moment, I felt something like an electric current from Seonghan’s palm that touched my back.

‘Static electricity?’

It felt similar, but different.

Unlike static electricity, which is a brief, lasting tingle.

The feeling of electricity slowly flowing into my body.

“Sleep…sleep…”

I was about to ask Seonghan to wait a moment, but I just bit my lips.

‘Because I said it was the end…’

Just hold on a little longer, it’s not like it hurts or anything.

It’s just a little bit unfamiliar.

You’ll get used to it after a while.

I thought so.

“Ahh…”

“…”

“Mi, sorry…!”

“No.”

What kind of sound did you make?

My face felt hot.

But it was a natural breathing sound that came from inside my body.

Even now, it felt like something hot was moving inside my body, riding on my mana.

A little sweat ran down my body and a heavy sigh escaped me.

I don’t know if this is… excitement.

I was dazed.

“Oh…look, did you see it?”

“…No?”

‘Did I just spread my legs too wide?’

I was absent-minded and made mistakes I never would have made before.

I relaxed my legs too much.

I bit my lips hard.

Swish, swish.

The oil had all dried up, and now I could hear the sound of skin brushing against skin.

In the quiet atmosphere, the only thing that could be heard was that sound and his own breathing.

‘I’m a little nervous…’

“Ugh…”

The moment his heart started pounding on its own, Sunghan’s hand fell for the first time.

“…It’s over.”

“…Uh…Huh? Oh, oh! I see…Haha…”

He smiled awkwardly and got up.

I felt it during the process of raising my body.

My body felt much lighter and more comfortable.

“Wow! Seonghan, you have talent!”

“Really?”

“Yeah, next time tooㅡ”

“Next time too?”

I wanted to ask you to do it again next time, but when I quickly recalled the feeling I had just had, it wasn’t easy to ask.

“Ugh… That, ah, no!”

***

“Hoo.”

After Camille left, I cleared away the towels on the bed.

It was a towel laid out in case oil or sweat would spill, and it was a good thing I laid it out.

Camille was sweating quite a bit, and although she didn’t seem to notice, her eyes were slightly moist.

“Are you sick?”

I thought I did a good job controlling my strength.

If I think about it, my reaction was a little different from the moment I used my internal energy.

I don’t think it was a bad reaction.

My favorability rating went up on its own, and he praised me right after it ended.

[Massage for two women (1/2)]

The quest was also counted smoothly.

Is that why?

When I was injecting my energy, there were some parts where it wasn’t going in very well, so I carefully added more energy to make it go more smoothly.

Did it hurt?

“Now that I think about it, something feels familiar.”

Place your hands on your back and inject your internal energy.

It releases internal energy to clear blockages and restore balance to the muscles, bones, and body.

“Umm…”

I chuckled.

“Oh no way.”

After roughly tidying up the room, I made the bed and went to sleep.

***

“Today is a practical training day. Everyone, please go to the training floor.”

“Huh? Practice?”

“Ah… Yeah, I practice once or twice a week.”

When I heard the word “practical training,” I asked Camille, and she answered with a faint smile.

Somehow, his expression looks uncomfortable.

Could it be the aftereffects of yesterday’s massage?

I asked her with concern, but Camille shook her head.

“Huh? Oh, no! Look at this.”

As if to say not to worry, Camille showed off her flexible body by turning her upper body from side to side.

The body’s curves were revealed subtly as the movement progressed.

I coughed and looked away.

I was only looking at the body.

Looking at Camille’s face, there was deep worry engraved between her eyebrows.

“Is the practice the problem?”

“…Yeah… I’m not confident.”

It is said that his skills did not improve at all.

Due to lack of practice.

“Lack of practice?”

He looked at Camille with a puzzled expression.

Camille smiled bitterly.

It was an expression that seemed to indicate that there was a story behind it.

I didn’t want to ask because he seemed hesitant to talk, but I was curious.

Even though I’m not sure since we’ve only known each other for a short time, I don’t think he’ll slack off on practicing.

“…I’m a little scared.”

“Ah.”

Only then did I realize.

She herself was scared.

Blood magic, which is his own unique magic.

That nasty crimson blood.

‘I guess so.’

No matter how much of a magic it is, it is blood.

It was understandable that Camille, a woman, was afraid.

Since I didn’t practice, my skills didn’t improve.

Magic, like martial arts, requires constant practice and training.

“…It’ll be okay.”

“Yeah… Thank you…!”

Camille nodded despite the meaningless cheering.

Kaido, the younger brother who was next to her, patted her older sister’s shoulder and cheered her on.

“…Okay, let’s go!”

We moved to the training floor late.

This exercise involved using magic in front of Rebecca.

Students who were capable of attack magic were to use their magic on the practice dummy, while those who were not were to simply demonstrate it in front of Rebecca.

I made a spear out of ice like last time.

Just as he was about to throw it at the scarecrow, Rebecca raised her hand to stop him.

“Okay. That’s not magic.”

“Ah.”

After all, throwing this quickly wasn’t magic, it was just a magical physical ability.

Next up for me was Baran.

I made horns and passed through quickly.

Kai grabbed something like a leaf and made a pill.

It seemed like the ability to make medicine using whatever ingredients were available.

“…I, I’ll pass, right?”

“…Okay, pass.”

The woman who looked a little gloomy was not tested separately.

They say it’s a magic that doesn’t require testing.

I was a little curious, but I moved on.

So finally, it was Camille’s turn.

Camille cut a small cut on her finger.

A small drop of blood clung to her finger, and Camille breathed magic into it.

The blood boiled and gradually took shape.

“Ugh…!”

Then a small sphere was created.

Camille stared blankly at the sphere for a moment, then took the opportunity to launch it at the scarecrow.

Woohoo!

As it flew, the sphere grew increasingly sharp thorns, transforming into a puffer fish with jagged thorns.

Phew.

It hit the scarecrow dead on the head.

As Camille slowly withdrew her mana, the blood lost its shape and scattered, wetting the scarecrow.

I’m not sure, but isn’t that acceptable?

When I turned my gaze, Rebecca was looking back and forth between the scarecrow and Camille with a blank expression.

Rebecca’s mouth opened slowly.

“Camille, what the hell happened?”

Camille looked at me in confusion.

Then he pointed at me with his finger.

“…Me?”

Why me?
