Chapter 1911: Ship Party 31

The room used as a lounge is quite spacious and has a large sofa, as to be expected of a luxury cruise ship. There was also a table and chairs nearby, the same spot where I had tea with Shiro-san earlier...... but this time, since I'm going to take a break, I wanted to relax on the sofa.

[Dr. Vier, would doing it on the sofa be alright?]

[Unn.]

[Then, let me get us something to drink from my magic box......]

[Whoa there, that won't do, Miyama-kun.]

[Eh?]

Sitting down on the sofa, I was about to bring out some tea or the like from my magic box, when Dr. Vier asked me to stop.

[It's currently Miyama-kun's break time, so you shouldn't try to entertain me here. Miyama-kun is an earnest, kind and really good boy...... but you really aren't good at taking proper rests, so I'd like you to just leave matters like that to me.]

[I see, if that's what the doctor recommends, I have no choice but to obey. Well then, I'll take you up on your offer and leave matters to you, Dr. Vier.]

[Unn. That said, Miyama-kun, is your throat parched?]

[No, I had some drinks back at the party, so not at all.]

Dr. Vier's skillful massage was probably the main factor, but I felt like the tension around my neck was gradually easing away.

[Miyama-kun, how is it? Is the strength alright?]

[Yes...... Or rather, it felt extremely good. I've had my shoulders massaged a bit before, but Dr. Vier is really good at massaging huh. As a doctor, do you often give massages?]

[No, not at all. I am knowledgeable about the structure of a human's body, so I do know which spots could help you feel relaxed, but I don't have the opportunity to give massages in my daily work as a doctor. When people come to see a doctor, they’re often there when they have severe muscle pain or sore muscles, and massaging them in such a condition can damage the muscles, so I don't massage them, but apply medicine. If their symptoms are severe, I'd instead opt for Healing Magic.]

Well, Healing Magic would certainly be a quicker treatment. Massages have the advantage of being pleasant and relaxing, but medicine or Healing Magic would be more appropriate for treatments.

The purpose of massages was only to help me relax and recover from fatigue, not for her to treat me as a doctor, so that's why she's giving me a massage.

While I had such thoughts in mind, Dr. Vier suddenly brought her mouth close to my ear and whispered in a sweet, bewitching voice.

[......That's why, my massage...... is a special service only for my beloved Miyama-kun...... or something like that, fufu.]

As her warm breath tickled my ear, my heart couldn't help skipping a beat. This slight warmth in my cheeks, whether it's from the improved blood circulation due to the massage or perhaps from embarrassment...... isn't something I'm quite sure about, but it's something that doesn't make me feel bad.

Serious-senpai : [G- Guhaak...... I knew it would turn out this way, d*mn it!]
