Chapter 182 The Uneasiness I Felt Suddenly
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”The hip joint treatment is done. Let’s move on to the next area.”
”I’m okay to continue, but… could you move to the other side?”
Yuna looked down at Haruto, who was sitting near her feet, and asked him to come closer to her head.
However, she quickly refused his movement, explaining, “Next are the knees and ankles. It’s more convenient if you stay there.”
”O-Okay, got it…”
”So, what kind of stretch is next?”
The next pose Yuna took resembled a forward bend, like the one at the start—
But this time, she lay on her back and brought her legs up and in, bending forward from that position.
(A back-bend manguri roll, huh… She even kept her legs together… That’s unfair…)
With her legs tightly closed and the tension on her muscles, the curves of her body were accentuated in a way that looked far too alluring.
”In this stretch, we’ll focus on the knees. Please stay in that position.”
”T-This is so embarrassing… Hurry up already!”
Yuna’s flushed voice made Haruto feel a bit guilty, but at the same time, he didn’t want to rush and miss this rare sight. He slowly and methodically began massaging her knees, taking care not to let his thoughts wander too far.
”Hey…”
”Yes? What’s wrong?”
”I… I’m not saying I don’t trust you, but… are you really treating me?”
Although Yuna had decided to trust him and accept the treatment, a sliver of doubt slipped in. She couldn’t help but wonder if maybe Haruto had other intentions. Was this really medical, or was he just taking advantage?
”Oh, that’s right! I haven’t shown you any results yet! Try moving your body a little.”
”…Okay.”
At his prompting, Yuna got off the treatment table. She moved hesitantly at first, but little by little, her pace picked up. Her limbs moved more freely, more naturally.
”W-Wow! It doesn’t hurt at all! There’s no tightness either!”
”Feeling relieved? Good. But we’re not done yet—we still have the ankles to go. Please lie back down.”
Yuna, bouncing with joy, forgot the doubt she had moments earlier. With a cheerful smile, she returned to the treatment table, brimming with energy.
(Watching her dance around like that… it was honestly kind of mesmerizing. Maybe she should’ve just kept dancing instead of stretching.)
As he watched her skip and spin, completely unbothered by her lack of clothes, Haruto found himself stunned by her beauty. Many men would say a woman’s form is a kind of living artwork. In Haruto’s case, though, his admiration leaned into something more dangerous…
”So? What do we do next? That last one was the final stretch in my usual routine, right?”
”Hmm… I see. Then how about we add just one more?”
”Okay! What kind?”
Eager and energetic, Yuna looked like she’d agree to anything at this point. Haruto gave her the next instruction.
”Lie on your back, bring your feet together with your legs bent, like when sitting cross-legged. Pull your feet in close.”
”Like this?”
”Perfect. Now pull your feet toward you as far as they’ll go.”
”T-This is my limit…”
”I’ll begin the therapy, so hold that pose for just a little longer.”
Though she had kept her legs firmly closed earlier, they naturally opened slightly with the new posture. Not enough to be explicit, but enough to stir something in Haruto’s chest. He looked away, forcing himself to stay focused on the treatment.
”…Hey. What’s your name, anyway?”
”Ichijou. Ichijou Haruto.”
”I see. If it’s you… maybe I could make you my personal therapist.”
”I’d be honored, but… your work keeps you in Tokyo. That’s pretty far from here.”
”…It’s not like I have enough money to move you or anything. Shame.”
”If anything ever happens, I’ll come right away. Don’t hesitate to call me.”
”…Thank you.”
It hadn’t been long since they met, but Haruto had already learned something important about Yuna. Though her words were often cheeky, her heart was warm and sincere. He felt that if she ever needed help, he wanted to be the one to offer it.
”Come to think of it, why are we doing this interview in such a rural area?”
”Isn’t it obvious? The production company’s office is out here.”
”…I see.”
Now that he thought about it, Haruto realized he had never heard of an adult film production studio in this area. Even though he spent most of his time reading books, he still chatted with his guy friends often enough. If a company like that existed nearby, it should have come up in conversation at least once during middle or high school.
(A new studio, maybe?)
At the time, he didn’t think too hard about it.
He had no way of knowing—
That something unbelievable was about to happen…
