Chapter 73: The Sister’s Reward

Chapter 73: The Sister’s Reward

Lee Hyun-woo and Lorein truly set out to subdue the werewolves together.

The result was overwhelming.

‘So strong...!’

Lorein faced each attacking werewolf one by one.

Then, Lee Hyun-woo intercepted monsters from a distance with magic.

The relentless onslaught of formidable firepower caused the werewolves to fall before they could even get close.

At this sight, Lorein gulped down her saliva.

‘I knew a magician was impressive, but to think that just the two of us could fight like this...!’

Of course, this was due to Lee Hyun-woo’s exceptionally high skill level.

What she was doing was perhaps just a supporting role.

But in the combination of a knight and a magician, this wasn’t particularly unusual.

Protecting a magician who is chanting spells is considered one of the most important tasks for a knight on the battlefield.

‘Most of all...it’s fun...!’

For Lorein, being surrounded by monsters in real combat like this was a first.

And doing so alongside an outstanding magician like Lee Hyun-woo was quite a stroke of luck.

Swinging her sword, she could feel her own skill.

With each monster she brought down, she could feel her techniques being effective.

Lorein, who had virtually led a hero’s party alone under Lee Hyun-woo’s tutelage.

Her swordsmanship was effective even against monsters.

And each time, Lorein felt a thrilling euphoria.

-Boom!!

Lee Hyun-woo’s magic exploded against a werewolf that was leaping towards them.

Perhaps because they were fully aware of each other’s abilities.

Having him fight alongside her felt incredibly reliable.

‘...So this is what it’s like to fight together.’

Lorein, who had always felt loneliness, had never truly experienced the feeling of fighting together, even at the academy.

But Lee Hyun-woo was a reliably trustworthy partner.

The fact that they were overcoming difficulties together repeatedly uplifted Lorein’s heart.

A strange emotion filled her heart.

“Haah...! Haah...!”

How intensely had they fought?

There were no monsters left in the surroundings.

Lorein looked around for a moment and was certain.

They had really defeated the entire horde of monsters with just the strength of the two of them.

‘...We did it!’

Lorein clenched her fist.

A threat that would have required borrowing a knight’s order from another domain.

She had vanquished it with her own hands.

Lorein’s lifelong goal of protecting the domain in place of her father.

She felt a sense of accomplishment that tingled up her spine.

“Huh...!”

Suddenly, she shivered from the coldness she felt on her nape.

Turning around, she saw Lee Hyun-woo, who had approached silently, offering her water.

“You did well.”

“...You scared me.”

“The hero of Armeina shouldn’t be scared that easily.”

“...Hero?”

“With such achievements, isn’t it fitting to be called a hero?”

“Shouldn’t you be called the hero? After all, you brought down most of them.”

“Then let’s call it a joint heroism.”

“Haha... Right.”

Lorein smiled and accepted the water.

Hearing it spoken aloud, there was a rising sense of pride and accomplishment.

‘...It’s all thanks to Hyun-woo.’

Truly, without him, such an unthinkable feat would have been impossible.

“You haven’t had your massage for today.”

“What, what? Wait a minute!”

Lorein jumped up in surprise.

Even so, this wasn’t right.

“After fighting like that...no, you even got hurt. And now a massage...what are you talking about?”

“I told you before. Now, in the beginning, is the time to focus on receiving it. Even missing one day could have side effects.”

“Still, not like this. You should rest too, just for today. Don’t worry about me-”

“My Lady.”

Hyun-woo interrupted her seriously.

Since this attitude was new, Lorein, who was about to send Hyun-woo away, stopped in her tracks.

“I’m really okay. Rather, I’m more worried about your condition right now. Do you want to let all the effort you’ve put in until now go to waste just because of missing one day?”

At those words, Lorein was left speechless.

She didn’t want to face that massive wall she had barely overcome again.

But she couldn’t be so selfish as to take advantage of Hyun-woo’s kindness and ignore his concerns.

“Still...I feel too sorry for you.”

“I’ve said it several times, I’m okay. It would be sadder if you miss this opportunity now.”

Unable to say anything against his serious gaze and voice, Lorein knew.

Having shared sword skills and fought together, she could tell.

Today, Hyun-woo wouldn’t back down no matter what.

‘This makes me feel even more sorry.’

She had doubted Hyun-woo like this.

Yet he, despite his injury, still wanted to help her.

Has she ever received this level of trust and kindness from someone before?

But she felt too guilty that there was nothing she could do in return.

‘If I refuse more, it will only make Hyun-woo uncomfortable.’

...At least, she wanted to lessen the burden she would place on Hyun-woo.

“Alright. Then, I’ll rely on you again today. But-”

Lorein’s hand went to her chest and hesitated slightly.

But eventually, her hand, still hesitant, slowly began to remove her clothes.

-Rustle.

One by one, the clothes covering her body fell away.

Soon, Lorein was left in just her underwear.

Only a bra covering her large breasts and black panties remained.

It was a moment when her sensual figure, never shown to anyone else, was exposed to a man, separated only by a thin layer of fabric.

Above all, those two large flesh mounds were striking.

“...Is this okay?”

“You said it’s more effective with fewer clothes. And...having less to get in the way is less of a burden for you.”

This was the greatest trust and consideration Lorein could show.

She didn’t want to hide anything from the boy who had made such an effort, even while being injured fighting monsters.

Above all, she wanted to ease any burden on the injured Hyun-woo, even if just a little.

Her body kept flinching in embarrassment, and her cheeks reddened, but that couldn’t be helped.

‘Ah... His gaze feels so intense...’

For Lorein, this was the first time standing in front of someone else in her underwear.

Since reaching maturity, she hadn’t even done so in front of her mother.

In such a situation, the gaze landing on her bare body was more stimulating than she had thought.

“Thank you for making a tough choice. For trusting me.”

“...I should be the one thanking you. Sorry, but please take care of me.”

After saying this, Lorein quickly lay face down on the bed.

She buried her face in the pillow.

She felt like she had to do something quickly out of embarrassment, or she wouldn’t know what to do with herself.

Her firm buttocks, wrapped in panties, curved upward, forming an apple shape.

“I’ll start as usual then.”

Seeing that provocative figure, Hyun-woo secretly laughed to himself.

Of course, the fact that there had never been any injury on his body from the monster in the first place was a secret.
