Hands too…?

I honestly never imagined that Arang-i’s legs were prosthetic.

Maybe it’s because I was so looking forward to touching her small, petite, and soft feet from LeoLe in reality, but when Arang-i’s prosthetic leg fell to the floor by my hand, my heart also dropped.

When Arang-i saw the socks and shoes, I thought her world, not just her heart, was collapsing, but thankfully, Arang-i wasn’t too hurt.

I put the socks I was wearing and the shoes I personally chose on Arang-i’s prosthetic leg.

As expected, it suited Arang-i’s shining beauty so well. My eye for fashion is definitely on point.

,Cu…te… Tha…nk… yo…u…”

Thankfully, Arang-i liked my gift. Even if it’s a prosthetic leg, it doesn’t mean you don’t wear socks and shoes. I heard that people wear them to look the same as others and for fashion as well.

Maybe that’s why Arang-i smiled very slightly when she saw the socks and shoes I gave her as a gift.

Nice.

It seems like the awkward atmosphere caused by the prosthetic leg incident has been completely resolved.

Contrary to what you see, Arang-i just isn’t good at talking, but the Arang-i inside is not much different from the Arang in LeoLe.

,Oth…er… re…quest…”

Arang-i told me that it’s okay to ask for another favor because I wanted to touch her feet but couldn’t.

If feet are difficult, what’s left? The answer is simple.

,Ah, then since feet are hard… then hands!!!”

I said loudly to liven up the atmosphere, and instead of touching her feet, I strongly grabbed Arang-i’s hand, which was neatly placed on my lap, to savor it-.

Tteoduk.

An ominous sound reached my ears.

The same sound I heard just a moment ago.

The same feeling as when I touched Arang-i’s feet.

Arang-i’s two hands dangling powerlessly.

“……………………”

I stopped thinking. No, I couldn’t.

==

[Arang-i’s Foot Licker] was more impatient than I thought.

Move a little after listening to me.

The moment I was about to say to touch my stomach, [Arang-i’s Foot Licker] grabbed both of my hands tightly, and with that impact, both of my prosthetic hands fell off my arms and collapsed powerlessly on my lap.

Anna-unni made it looser than I thought.

“……………………”

[Arang-i’s Foot Licker] is opening his mouth wide and gasping for air.

,No, that, so… I, the hand, uh, so… I can’t take it anymore…!!!!”

[Arang-i’s Foot Licker], holding onto my prosthetic hands and shouting as if screaming, suddenly hugged me tightly and started crying.

I wanted to wipe away his tears, but I couldn’t because I didn’t have hands to do so, so I couldn’t comfort him.

After some time passed, [Arang-i’s Foot Licker] calmed down.

Now [Arang-i’s Foot Licker] is kneeling on the floor, burying his head in my arms, and sobbing.

,Are you… calm… now…?”

,… Yeah.”

,Shall we… play… now…?”

,… Yeah.”

It feels like my relationship with [Arang-i’s Foot Licker] has been reversed, but now playing is more urgent.

The reason is.

Because of the board games here.

I found out that the latest board games are in this lounge, so I looked up how to play them on RyuTube, and I was dying to try them.

As I thought, recent board games have excellent technology.

Now, there are board games where the components are simply inside a box like in the old days, but there are also board game versions that are linked to a table with a hologram function.

What I’m going to do with [Arang-i’s Foot Licker] today is a board game through the hologram table in this lounge.

Board games that use a hologram table are not like the old days where there are contents, but are in the form of plugging a USB into a computer.

There are so many types and various genres that time will fly by.

Seueuk. Seueuk.

When [Arang-i’s Foot Licker]’s head slightly stimulated my thighs and stomach, I felt ticklish because of my sensitive body.

,Stop… now…”

,Okay!”

[Arang-i’s Foot Licker] quickly came back.

Come to think of it, what’s [Arang-i’s Foot Licker]’s name?

,Ah, I’m sorry. I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’m Kwon Mi-ae. Call me Mi-ae-unni comfortably.”

,Okay… Mi-ae-unni…”

==

I want to have fun with Arang-i without paying attention, but it wasn’t easy.

However, Arang-i’s expressionless face, as she played board games, showed interest like a child experiencing a game for the first time, and her expressions were slowly trying to move, melting my heart.

The slightly visible buckteeth whenever the corners of her lips moved slightly were so cute that they made my heart stop.

,Unni… it’s your turn…”

,Sorry! Hmm… I wonder what Arang-i wants~”

The board game I’m playing with Arang-i now is Splendor.

It’s a simple board game where you use jewels to get cards with points, and the first person to reach 15 points wins.

I, who liked board games when I was young, know a lot about Splendor and even have pride in my skills.

I can even tell what Arang-i is thinking right now, so Arang-i is using a simpler strategy than I thought.

Well, she’s still 15 years old, and if I recall what Arang-i said earlier, she lived in the hospital, so it would be quite difficult for her in games that require this kind of strategic thinking.

It’s more of a physical thing than a mental thing.

,Okay~ I’ll eat this deliciously! Now it’s Arang-i’s turn!”

So Arang-i and I were taking turns and playing the board game, but…

,Huh?”

Something’s wrong.

The situation, which was clearly overwhelmingly in my favor, started to reverse every time it was Arang-i’s turn.

Arang-i took the card I was trying to get one turn faster, and the card I was trying to reserve in advance so that Arang-i couldn’t get it was wasted without any meaning.

The difference started to widen little by little, and unable to close the gap, I ended up losing helplessly to Arang-i, who was playing Splendor for the first time.

I was defeated by Arang-i’s excellent strategy, as if she knew everything I was thinking.

Next is chess, which I’m more confident in than Splendor.

Chess is the board game that most people have enjoyed since hologram tables became commercialized.

The reason is that it’s a feast for the eyes.

Chess is basically a board game where you use your pieces to capture the opponent’s king. Why did such a board game become famous?

First of all, it’s a board game that many people have known for a long time, and it’s the most suitable board game for this hologram table.

The chess pieces attacking each other from the wizard movie based on a famous novel from a long time ago have been realized thanks to the hologram table.

There are orthodox chess pieces on the table screen, and customized chess pieces are placed on the table as holograms.

The shape of the basic chess pieces, the motion when moving, the execution motion, and the motion when dying can all be customized, so the visual appeal is quite excellent, and many people like it.

,I’m definitely not going to lose this time!”

Splendor was just a warm-up. It’s been too long since I played it, so my skills have deteriorated.

I’ve been playing chess since I was young, and I still play it whenever LeoLe updates in the virtual world or when there’s ambiguous time left.

My skill is so high that I’m in the top 0.4% in the rankings.

Of course, I won’t give it my all.

If I show off my scary chess skills to 15-year-old Arang-i, she’ll probably lose interest.

==

“……………”

Why did this happen…?

Feeling the eeriness from the middle, like in Splendor earlier, I gave it my all.

Every time Arang-i moves the chess pieces through the choker on her neck, I feel like my neck is being tightened, and she’s playing chess so sharply and scarily.

When I first saw Arang-i, I thought she was a cute princess of a fallen kingdom who had become a hikikomori,

She has the same expression as when I first saw her, but now Arang-i’s appearance is so fierce that I feel like she’s emitting a murderous aura that’s about to kill me.

She clearly looked like she was playing chess for the first time at the beginning, but as she made moves one by one, her appearance changed, and Arang-i was playing chess to kill me, move by move, to beat me even in a situation where I was overwhelmingly advantageous.

In the end, I played chess with all my heart and eventually won.

But it wasn’t a perfect victory.

It was clear that Arang-i couldn’t fully concentrate as the chess game went on for too long.

,Unni… you’re too… good…”

,I was more surprised! Arang-a, how are you so good at chess…?”

,Am I… good…?”

,Of course! I’m not a pro, but I’m almost the strongest among amateurs…!? Arang-i, you’re a genius!?”

,Oh… really…? But… this… is too tiring…”

,Shall we rest a little then?”

,… Yeah. Hug me…”

,Huh? Really?”

,Yeah… that bed over there…”

There was a simple bed where you could rest lightly where Arang-i gestured.

,Can I really hug this cute and soft Arang-i…? I’ve already caused so many accidents…?’

I swallowed hard.

,Be…fore… that… take… all this… off…”

,Eh? Re, really…? Re, really…?”

,Yeah…”

Arang-i’s eyes turned to the prosthetic hands and prosthetic legs.

First of all, Arang-i asked me to do it, so I made up my mind and helped Arang-i take off her prosthetic hands and prosthetic legs, and then carefully picked up Arang-i.

When I picked up a 15-year-old girl, she weighed more than I thought a young girl would weigh.

I carefully laid Arang-i down on the bed.

,Chess… is fun…”

,Really? Arang-a, I was so surprised at how well you did from the middle.”

,At first… it was difficult… but as I did it…”

,No, not only is your physique good, but your brain is good too…! As expected of our guild leader!”

,Hehe… this is me…”

As I was talking and playing with Arang-i, I thought that Arang-i is really amazing.

Even in this situation, she enjoys LeoLe and is not hesitant to meet people, and she plays fun when she plays.

The problem is…

My heart hurts…

In a good way and in a bad way…
