425 - - Episode 423 Healing Time

When I went to Gina's parents to ask them for help, it turned out to be somewhat troublesome and Sylphy put a lot of pressure on me. When I went to Marie's general store, I found that the rejuvenating herbal medicine had been completed and Marie and Sonia were glowing.

"You're so chewy!"

As I lay on the bed and nuzzled Belle's hoppe, I couldn't help but voice my feelings.

"Mochi?"

Belle responded to my words and asked me curiously. Come to think of it, I've never seen rice cakes here, so I guess Belle doesn't know what I'm talking about. It's okay for now, but we'll need it when we want to eat ozoni. I'll ask Dolly for some mochi rice sooner or later.

"Yes. Mochi-mochi is a nice texture like Belle's hoppe.

Belle nodded with a look of understanding. She probably doesn't understand, but it's OK because it soothes her.

"What about Rein?"

"Cu?"

Do you mean the feel of the rain?　I stroke Rain, who comes up to me with her name.

"Rain is so moist and smooth."

Once again, I found that it is quite an addictive touch.

"So soft and smooth!" "Cute!"

Belle and Rain are happy for some reason. Do they like the word "moist and slippery"?

"Turuha?"

After a short chat with Rain, Belle asked me the next question. Now she wants to know how Tulu feels.

"Me?"

Tulu, who had been listening to me, looks at me curiously. ......I usually stroke a boy around while praising him without worrying about it, but stroking a boy around to check his texture, isn't it a perversion of the crossbow class?　Well, if I say so, I'm in trouble when I'm stroking Belle and Flare, so let's not worry about them. This is another world.

I try to stroke Tulu's hips, who is looking at me without thinking. ......Yeah, it's chewy. There is a slight difference, but her skin texture is so wonderful that I envy her. I don't need any rejuvenating herbs.

I should just say that Tulu's skin is soft too, but for some reason the little kids are looking at me with expectant expressions. Perhaps they are expecting a different expression. Tamamo, Flare, and Moon are lined up behind Tulu, so I guess I need to describe the skin texture of all of them.

"...... Tulu is so tulun tulun."

I used a pun like that, but the belles didn't seem to have a problem with it and were excitedly saying "toot-toot-toot! I was a little relieved.

"Coo-coo!"

Tamamo asked, "What about you?　He started to play with me, asking me how I was doing. I don't need to touch it, but I have no reason not to, so I stroke it around.

"Yes. Tamamo is fluffy. I especially love the fluffiness of their tails."

"Coo-coo!"

The belles flock to the happy tamamo. Tulu is mumbling "fluffy" as she fluffs Tamamo's tail, and I sense a bit of karma in her.

"It's a big one!"

Flare is next. I don't mind checking, but is it right to use the word "cue" in this case?

Hmmm ...... Flair's hops are just as nice and chewy as Belle and Tulle's. So the question is how to describe them. It's a big responsibility since Flair's expression is full of expectation.

Chewy and tasty, words that Flare would be happy to hear without being covered by this. Moreover, I have to choose words considering Moon who is the last one left.

"...... is the best, isn't it?"

"Is this the latest?"

Flare tilts his head. He seems to be uncomfortable with the word "strongest" when he is talking about the feel of his skin.

"Yes. The strongest."

"Oh. That's great!"

As I forcefully tell her to do so, she is convinced and her tension explodes, showing off her strongest hoppe to Belle and the others.

Belle says, "Whoa. She's saying "wow...this is great" but I'm pretty sure she doesn't know what she's talking about. Rain and the others seem to be in a mood to make a fuss.

I feel a little guilty that I was at a loss for choice of words and pushed through with the words that Flare seems to like. Grown-ups are dirty, aren't they?

"............"

Moon is quivering in front of my face. I can already imagine how it feels just by looking at it. But I stroke it around.

"Moon is so soft and shiny."

It's a feeling I could go on and on about. The strongest, by feel, may have been Moon. Well, I'm not going to say that because Flare would be shocked.

"............"

Moon heads for Bell and the others with a fine pull. It's hard to tell how Moon is feeling, but she seems pretty happy.

He reviews all of the belles' touches and lies down on his bed with a sense of satisfaction that he has done it all.

"Hmmm, Yuta. You look so sweet."

"Yeah?"

Sylphy looks at me with eyes that see something smiling, but do I look that kind?

"Oh, but I feel lighter after playing with Belle and the others. Was I tired?"

I didn't dive into the labyrinth, nor did I do any strenuous exercise. .......

"Maybe you're right. If you're feeling relaxed, why don't you get some rest until Gina and the others come back?"

It's a little late in the day to consider it a nap, but it might be nice to just sit around and sleep.

"Well, I'm going to get some sleep. Take care of Belle and the kids."

"Okay. Yuta, good night.

"Good night, Sylphie."

I slowly close my eyes, and for some reason, the events of the past few days come to my mind.

A past that should have been erased. I'm a queen.

I get angry at Mr. Black's store for thinking a little bit of insolence.

I get a complaint from Ms. Barotta as soon as I arrive at the labyrinth city.

I, who wear out my spirit in the discussion with Gina's parents.

I'm somewhat tired after talking with Marie and Sonia.

......Oh, I see. I was not tired in body but in mind. The spirits have been pushing me around, but I've been dealing with Gina's parents, Marie and Sonia, and I'm just tired.

Gina's parents' discussion in the cafeteria with Marie, who was very excited about the rejuvenating herbs. Redeeming the spirit money and receiving the souvenirs to the labyrinth core. It was quite a busy time with other small business meetings.

But the relaxed and heartwarming communication with Belle and the others must have healed and released their tired hearts.

Gina's parents and Marie and Sonia are not bad people. It's just that their love for their daughter is too strong and their desire for money is too strong. ...... Maybe they are bad people to me after all. Well, I guess I can prepare myself by thinking that way. Now that I'm refreshed, I feel sleepy. Good night.

**

Hmm?　I'm wrapped up in something. When I opened my eyes, I saw Bell and the others resting on top of me. Bells on my chest. On my stomach was Tamamo, and on my arms were Tulu and Flare. Rain between my legs and Moon over my ...... crotch.

I'll keep an eye on Moon's sleeping position, but I haven't seen this pattern in a long time. In Paradise, Moon has a nursery, and in the labyrinth city, Moon has been sent to Gina and Sara's room recently, and has not been sleeping together with them. I guess I have been keeping myself away from this kind of healing, and that's why my heart is tired.

I don't know if it's right to lump Belle and the others together, but I guess animal therapy works. I wonder if dolphins and slimes can be included in the animal category. .......

（Yuta. You're awake.)

Sylphy, perhaps taking care of Belle and the others, spoke to me in a whisper.

(Yes...) Where's Gina and the others?)

(I'm sure he'll be back in a while.)

I don't think I slept that well. My body isn't tired, so I feel refreshed enough.

（Should we wake up Bell and the others?)

（No, I'm going to stay here and relax.)

The Belles are excellent sleepers, so I don't mind waking them up, but it's been a while since I've been in a situation like this, so let's just relax and heal. Oh, I feel like going to the bathroom. .......

"Master. I'm home!

Oh, Marco's back. Behind Marco, we see Kikka still looking good and Sara looking a little tired. And Gina, who looks like she's about to die, enters the room.

Marco and Kikka used to be squeezed to the limit of their physical strength, but have they gotten used to it, or maybe they have a little more time on their hands now that Gina and Sara have joined them?

The voices of Marco and the others awaken Belle and the others one after another. Okay, let's go to the bathroom. I pull them down over my body, say good-bye to Marco and the others, and quickly head for the bathroom. It was pretty last minute.

"Master. Mr. Lee asked me to tell Master if he could hire one more person.

When I returned from the restroom, Gina relayed Mr. Lee's message to me in a weak voice. Gina, are you all right?

"Well, what do you mean?"

"Sensei Lee told me that his martial arts friends are envious of Sensei Lee for taking on a child disciple."

"Envious?　There are a lot of kids in Labyrinth City, right?"

You don't have to tell me.

"He said that a child with a high level of intelligence, without any habits, is very valuable."

Well, even in a labyrinth city, there are few children who enter the labyrinth. They can just barely survive in the harsh environment of the slums, so there are not many reckless children.

So, Mr. Lee is envied for taking Gina and the other amateurs as his apprentices, even though they are at a high level.

"Hmmm, I'll judge after I meet this new teacher, but do Gina and her friends need a new teacher in the first place?"

"Mr. Lee said that he could teach by himself, but that he could take his time to teach the basics with one more teacher. As for me, it's still too hard, so I'm not sure, but I think it's better to have a good foundation if you want to become stronger. But ......"

"But?"

It's rare that Gina, who usually speaks her mind so clearly, is so brusque.

"Well, Master. We're going to be spiritists, aren't we?　I'm kind of confused because I'm being trained in a direction I didn't expect?"

You are absolutely right. I also looked for a teacher because Marco is interested in close combat and it would be a good way to build up his strength. But a magician, or perhaps a necromancer?　This is a difficult one, because it's so romantic.

"Hmmm. Even a spiritualist needs physical strength if he wants to dive into the labyrinth, and being able to use physical techniques is useful to avert danger. Well, it's a necessary training not as a necromancer but as an adventurer. However, since a necromancer is still your main profession, you will have to train hard as a necromancer as well. ......"

Even the wind wall of a lowly spirit Bell can be broken, and with the floating spirit Fukuchan and the others, the more cards you have in your hand, the better. But it would be very troublesome if they stop being a genie. It's called adult ego.

"As an adventurer ...... you're right. We have our lives on the line and we have to be greedy to absorb all the skills we can get. If the master is a good person to meet, may I ask for an additional teacher?"

Apparently, they were willing to do it. I've asked Mr. Lee to train Gina, Sara, and Kikka so that they don't lose their femininity, but if they add a teacher, I'll have to seriously ask again. A muscular Gina, Sara, or Kikka would be too sad. Marco is ...... up to him.
