Chapter 52 The Third Night Massage ⑤
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Next up was Sakura-san. I needed to get the mirror out of sight before she walked in.
”Corinna, can you help me move this?” I asked.
”Huh? You’re putting it away?” Corinna looked at me, tilting her head. “What’s wrong?”
”What’s with that look? I should be asking you that,” I said.
”No, it’s just… I never expected Anma-sama to suggest hiding the mirror on his own,” Corinna replied.
”I’ll hide it if I have to. When it comes to Sakura-san, I’ve got a feeling it’s better if it’s gone,” I muttered.
Corinna was sharp, but Sakura was on another level. If she saw that full-length mirror, she’d immediately realize I’d left it there to satisfy some lecherous urge. I could already hear her dropping one of her quiet, soul-piercing rebukes. Despite her petite, almost doll-like stature, there was a reason even the Class President called her ‘Sakura-san’ and treated her with such deference. She was not a girl to be underestimated.
In fact, the Class President only used the formal “-san” for two people in our group: Kusano-san and Sakura-san. Everyone else got a casual “-chan” or no honorific at all.
”Anyway, just tuck it in the next room for now,” I said.
”Understood,” Corinna replied.
Perfect. No distractions. Time for a total poker face.
”Excuse me,” a soft voice called out.
”Come on in,” I said.
Sakura entered, her raven-black hair swaying behind her petite frame. Without a word or a flicker of emotion, she took a seat a few paces in front of me. She maintained a clear, intentional distance. Then again, maybe this was just what a normal person considered “personal space.”
”I’m in your hands,” Sakura said.
”Right. Let’s get started,” I said.
I began working on her shoulders. She was a girl of few words to begin with, and since we’d barely spoken before, the room fell into a heavy silence. The only sound was the occasional, faint slip of her breath – “Nngh… Haa…”
I could practically feel Corinna’s anxiety from across the room. She was probably wondering if she should jump in and break the ice, but the truth was, we just didn’t have anything to talk about. Besides, as I worked her muscles, I realized her shoulders weren’t even that stiff.
”Earlier, I saw the Class President and Jane-san talking in the corner,” Sakura said suddenly.
I nearly jumped. I didn’t even know she could initiate a conversation. “Oh? Yeah?”
”It seems you’ve really made an impression on Jane-san,” Sakura continued, her voice flat. “She was saying she wanted to bear Anma-san’s child. She said she plans to keep seducing you from here on out.”
”Pfft – !” I choked.
What the hell was Jane thinking, saying that to the Class President? What was the goal there? All it did was put a giant target on my back for the Pres to glare at.
”The Class President got angry,” Sakura went on. “She said if Jane-san did that, Anma-san would be the one to suffer the guilt once he returns to his own world. But Jane-san just brushed it off. She said it wouldn’t matter since he won’t have any memories of this place once he leaves. She even provoked the Pres, saying that if memories don’t carry over, then it wouldn’t matter what she did with you, either.”
”Good grief… What is Jane even doing?” I asked.
I figured Jane had some kind of angle, but I couldn’t for the life of me guess what it was. Why bring it up to the Class President? And why let Sakura overhear it? Though, knowing Sakura, “overhearing” it was probably a calculated accident.
”The Class President was clearly shaken by the idea. She probably hasn’t realized it yet, but based on what Jane-san and the Princess were saying… staying in this world is actually an option, isn’t it? That’s what Jane-san wants, right?” Sakura asked.
”Who knows?” I tried to keep my voice neutral. “So? What’s your take on it, Sakura-san?”
Jane probably kept that part quiet because she didn’t want the secret out. If the Teacher or the Class President found out I might not go back, they’d spend every waking second trying to talk me out of it. I wanted to keep my options open without being nagged.
”I won’t do anything,” Sakura said. “The idea of a classmate just… vanishing in the middle of a lesson is almost poetic. It’s an interesting thought. It’s only a shame that I won’t be able to remember why Anma-san disappeared.”
”You’ve got a twisted sense of humor, you know that? So, did you tell me all this just because you thought my reaction would be ‘interesting’ too?” I asked.
If she’d nodded, I would have confirmed she was a total sadist. Instead, she shook her head.
”No. I wanted to talk about the Class President,” Sakura said.
”The Pres?”
”Yes. Jane-san’s words hit her harder than she’d like to admit. She’s been acting… off. So, I’m asking you – please don’t do anything strange to her tonight. And absolutely no flirting,” Sakura said.
”Ah. So this was a warning,” I said.
”It is. If you try anything funny with the Class President tonight, I’ll tell the Teacher and the Pres everything I heard earlier,” Sakura said.
I felt a cold sweat. If that secret got out now, my life would become a living hell. The Pres would probably run straight to Her Excellency the Princess and demand Jane be replaced. I’d actually managed to get on good terms with Jane; losing her now would be a massive setback.
Still, looking at it from Sakura’s perspective, she saw her friend in a vulnerable state and stepped in to protect her. Beneath that icy exterior, she was actually a good person.
”…What is it?” Sakura asked, noticing my stare.
”Nothing. I get it. But I can still do the massage, right?” I asked.
”That can’t be helped. It’s what she wanted, and if we cancel her session now, it’ll only make her more suspicious,” Sakura said.
”Got it. Well, I think we’re done with the shoulder rub. Want me to do some percussion work? The ‘shoulder-slap’?” I asked.
”I have a bad feeling about that, so I’ll pass. Excuse me,” Sakura said.
She shut me down instantly and made her exit. When someone tells you they have a “bad feeling” about your massage, there’s not much room for a follow-up. She was a tough nut to crack. Looking at her slender frame, I really wanted to try a Breast Enhancement Massage¹ on her, but I doubted that day would ever come.
”She was… intense,” Corinna remarked. “Should I bring the mirror back?”
”No, just leave it in the other room. Sasaki-san is next for a leg massage, then it’s the Pres’s shoulders and Haneda-san’s hands. After that warning from Sakura-san, I’m staying on my best behavior with the Class President. No need for the mirror today,” I said.
”I see…” Corinna gave me a long, judging look. “So you did have the mirror there for something ‘weird’ after all.”
Wait. Corinna was giving me the “cold stare.” It was surprisingly cute, but… yeah, she caught me red-handed.
* * *
”Good evening! …Oh, did I interrupt something?” Sasaki Akari asked.
”Not at all. Don’t worry about it, come on in,” I said.
I was saved from Corinna’s lecture by the arrival of Sasaki-san. Honestly, I wish she’d shown up a minute sooner.
”Sorry to keep you waiting,” I said. “A leg massage for you today, right?”
”Yes! I even had this swimsuit made just for the occasion!” Sasaki Akari said.
With a flourish, she hiked up her one-piece dress. Underneath, she was wearing a black swimsuit, just like Kuroki-san. Her build was a bit more curvaceous than the slender Kuroki-san, though – especially in the hips.
She hopped onto the bed and pointed her legs toward me. She’d just come from the bath and was only wearing sandals, so the only scent was the clean, faint aroma of soap. I placed my hands on her soles and activated [Pleasure Sight]². Looks like the feet were good to go.
”Okay, I’ll start with the soles of your feet,” I said.
”Please! I’m a little embarrassed because I didn’t do a great job… grooming… so please don’t look too closely!” Sasaki Akari said.
Now that she mentioned it, I could see a few stray hairs – shaving misses, probably. As a professional who prided himself on avoiding sexual harassment, I wasn’t sure how to respond. Thankfully, Corinna stepped in.
”We provided razors. Was there an issue with them?” Corinna asked.
”Oh, no, it’s not that,” Sasaki Akari said, letting out a little “Ngh.” “Back home, I always used an electric shaver. I’m just not used to real blades.”
”Is ‘being used to it’ really a thing for razors?” I asked.
”But the razors here aren’t the T-shaped ones! They’re like tiny little daggers! They look so sharp… I was too scared to use them properly,” Sasaki Akari replied.
Fair point. I probably couldn’t use them either. I really needed to shave my beard soon, though…
”I see,” Corinna said thoughtfully. “Most people in this world have very little body hair to begin with, and we learn to handle knives as children. The idea of being ‘scared’ of a blade isn’t something we consider. If you’d like, a maid can assist you, though that might be even scarier.”
”Yeah, having someone else wave a knife at me sounds terrifying. Isn’t there, like, a hair-removal cream? A potion or something?” Sasaki Akari asked.
”I’ve never heard of such a thing,” Corinna replied. “Since it’s not a problem people have, no one has bothered to develop one. Perhaps a past Hero created something, but if they did, the knowledge has been lost.”
So, no one is bothered by it, so no one fixes it. Jane and Corinna were both smooth as silk, so I guess everyone here just naturally has thin hair.
Sasaki-san, who had been looking around the room, spotted the shelf. “Oh! What are all those bottles?”
”Those are massage oils and lotions,” I explained. “They keep the skin hydrated. They’re common in this world – very gentle, even on sensitive areas.”
”Really? Anma-san, have you used them before?” Sasaki Akari asked.
”Nope. Most of my work is over the clothes, so I haven’t had a reason to,” I said.
”Heh… Well, I’m in a swimsuit, so why not use them on me?” Sasaki Akari asked.
”I mean, if you’re okay with it, sure. Corinna, is the cleanup going to be a problem?” I asked.
”Not at all,” Corinna replied.
If the cleaning was covered, I was game. I was curious myself – plus, seeing a girl all glistening with oil sounded like a win. I figured Sasaki-san was a safe bet; even Midorikawa-san had said that “that girl enjoys it even when things get rough.”
Corinna brought over the oil. The bottle was pleasantly warm – she must have used magic to heat it up. I guess that was the proper way to use it.
”Okay, I’m going to start applying the oil,” I said.
”Yes, please… Oh, it’s like that scene in a shoujo manga³ where the guy applies suntan oil. I’m so nervous! You have to make sure you get every spot, even under the edges of the swimsuit… ♡ And then, just like that… ♡” Sasaki Akari said.
I ignored her descent into her fantasy world and started rubbing the oil in.
I used my palms to work the oil deep into her skin. Her legs were toned and beautiful, and under the oil, they began to shimmer. But as I worked, those missed hairs became even more obvious. They were distracting, and I could feel them against my palms. It was a shame.
”Nngh… Haa… This is… this is so good… A man’s hands, covering my legs in oil. Ahh, to be oiled up by a classmate I’ve barely spoken to…” Sasaki Akari moaned.
”Sasaki-san? Sasaki-san! I’ve reached your thighs. How much further do you want me to go?” I asked.
”Huh? What do you mean?” Sasaki Akari asked.
”I can go right up to the edge, but I might get your swimsuit oily. I’ll wipe you down when we’re done, but the fabric is a different story,” I said.
I was worried about her not having a change of clothes, but I should have known better.
”Getting my swimsuit wet… Everyone will be waiting for me, and I’ll be the only one with oil-soaked underwear…? Or maybe I’ll have to take it off and go commando…? ♡ Keeping it a secret while trying to act normal… it’s like a total erotica plot! ♡” Sasaki Akari replied.
”Right, I’m just gonna keep going then,” I said.
This girl didn’t need me to be polite. She was invincible. She’d probably be thrilled no matter what I did.
”Okay, flip over onto your stomach,” I said.
”Okay… Oh, now I can’t even see where you’re touching me. You could be touching my ‘naughty’ spots and I wouldn’t even know. Surely, you’re just going to…” Sasaki Akari said.
I kept working, rubbing the oil into the back of her thighs. A bit of it splashed onto her butt. Well, might as well spread it around. Her skin was soft and plump, but with a firm bounce that was entirely different from a breast.
”Sasaki-san, some oil got on your rear. It’ll look weird if I leave a gap, so I’m just going to get it under the bikini line, okay?” I asked.
”Ahh! ♡ Anma-san! You’re totally groping me now, aren’t you?! I can tell, even without looking!” Sasaki Akari said.
”Whoops, look at that – your swimsuit is totally soaked. My bad,” I said.
”Soaked… ♡ I mean, you have to stop now, okay? Hands off!” Sasaki Akari said.
Sasaki-san finally called for a stop, so I pulled back. Honestly, I’d seen more than enough. The only part of her lower body left was the front under the bikini, and while I wouldn’t have minded, she’d drawn the line at the butt.
”Alright, we’re done. Corinna, can you give her a light wipe-down? I’m gonna go wash my hands,” I said.
”Certainly,” Corinna replied.
Corinna stepped in with a towel while I headed to the washroom. The Class President was next, and I didn’t want to be covered in oil for that – or give her any reason to suspect I’d been up to no good.
But when I got back, the room was in an uproar. Sasaki-san was shouting something at Corinna, and Corinna looked completely baffled.
”Oh, you’re back! Anma-san! What is the meaning of this?!” Sasaki Akari asked.
”Wait, what happened?” I asked.
I looked at Corinna, who seemed just as lost.
”When I started wiping the oil off,” Corinna explained, “Sasaki-san’s stray hairs just… fell out. It only happened in the places where Anma-sama applied the oil. Her head hair is fine, but… the oil I provided doesn’t have that effect. It must be Anma-sama’s power…”
”Anma-san! If you had an ability like this, why didn’t you say so?!” Sasaki Akari was practically beaming. “If I knew you could do this, I wouldn’t have been worried about the razors at all! Look at my legs! The pores are closed, and it’s so smooth!”
What? I didn’t remember having an ability like that. Was this a “Skill Evolution”? Hair removal via oil massage?
I looked down. She was right. Her legs were perfectly, impossibly smooth. Honestly, it was a masterpiece.
”We can’t stop now! Can you do my armpits too? I’ll take my top off!” Sasaki Akari said.
”Wait, hold on! This is the first time this has ever happened. First, tell me – do you feel any side effects? Anything weird?” I asked.
”My skin feels a little tingly… kind of ticklish? That’s about it,” Sasaki Akari said.
So there was a sensation. The [Breast Enhancement Massage] mentioned that growth was accompanied by pleasure, so I figured every skill had a “cost.”
”Look, let’s wait until tomorrow. I don’t want any weird side effects popping up. My ‘Job’ has a skill that adds new effects the more I work, but I won’t know exactly what they are until I get an Appraisal⁴. I’ll ask the Princess to let me use the tool tomorrow,” I said.
”I see. Then I’m holding you to it tomorrow! And make sure you have plenty of oil!” Sasaki Akari said.
She thanked me and skipped out of the room. I sat there while Corinna started cleaning the bed. I never expected to discover a new ability like that. At least it was just a leg massage… it could have been worse.
But now I had to ask Her Excellency the Princess for the Appraisal tool. And I’d have to talk to Jane to set it up. Man, my “to-do” list with Jane was getting way too long…
