Volume 1 Chapter 23 Being Treated By The Elf Sister I
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
In the outskirts of town, behind the monastery, in an underground workshop next to the graveyard, Kian waited for the High Elf Sister.
And right on cue, she arrived promptly.
The workshop door swung open with force, and in walked a tall blonde nun carrying a lantern.
Kian slowly rose from the sofa he had been sitting on.
”Good evening, Ms. Aliona. Are you here to prepare some medicine? I’m glad I didn’t have to wait all night.”
”No!”
The Elf Sister raised her eyebrows in surprise.
She was usually gentle and calm, but now she was clearly angry.
”No, I’m not here for medicine! I came rushing because there was an intruder in my workshop. I wanted to catch the thief and hand them over to the guards.”
”Did you have some kind of detection barrier set up in your workshop?”
”Of course! What do you take me for, Kian? A priest? Or a pharmacist? Unfortunately for you, I’m also a magician!”
”I’m sorry, but I really wanted to meet with you alone, Ms. Aliona. It’s past lights-out time, and I thought I’d just be turned away if I visited through the main gate.”
Alone with Ms. Aliona…
Kian emphasized the word ‘alone’.
He wanted to convey to the blonde Elf Sister in front of him why he had come here without explicitly saying it.
”Huh!”
Ms. Aliona’s green eyes widened in response.
She averted her gaze and fell silent, looking remorseful.
The lantern’s flame flickered as if reflecting her emotions.
(Ms. Aliona is so beautiful.)
Perhaps due to a sense of protection, the Elf Sister hugged her voluptuous chest with her arms.
Her sleeves dug into her ample breasts, making them appear even more prominent.
Her waist was slender, and her hips were round.
Her legs were long and slim.
She was like a sculpted goddess, and her age was a mystery.
”Go home, Kian.”
Aliona tried her best not to look at Kian as she moved away from the entrance.
Usually, her kind face was now showing a cold expression.
”That’s harsh. I worked hard to hunt a griffin just to bring you love.”
”…A griffin? You, Kian?”
Aliona asked back suspiciously.
She looked like she didn’t believe him at all, but her nose twitched and her eyes widened.
The high elf’s senses were sharp.
She must have caught the smell of blood and beast on Kian.
”I stopped bringing the head. Only men would be happy about that. Women… they prefer things like blood-stained underwear, right? If you want mine, I can give them to you.”
”I don’t want them. That’s unsanitary. …More importantly, the dangerous job you mentioned yesterday was about taking down a griffin, huh? Why would you do something so risky?”
Aliona’s voice changed a bit.
It shifted from sounding angry to sounding worried.
As she approached with a lantern, she had a complicated look on her face, as if she was unsure of what to do.
”Did you wash off the blood?”
”Yeah. I couldn’t go see my beloved all dirty.”
”…I told you to forget about yesterday. I just wanted you to have hope going into that dangerous job, so I let you have my body. I don’t have any special feelings──.”
”Ugh…”
Kian suddenly doubled over, clutching his arm in the middle of Aliona’s words.
”What’s wrong?”
”No… it’s nothing.”
”It’s not nothing. Show me your arm.”
”Don’t worry about it.”
”I do worry. Just show me. Show me!”
With swift movements, she reached into his coat and rolled up the sleeves of his leather jacket and chainmail.
What came out was skin covered in wounds.
His shoulder and arm were slightly swollen.
”You haven’t treated your wounds.”
”I ran out of magic power.”
”Your arm is swollen. It’s hot.”
Her cool hand touched the swollen skin.
It felt so good that it sent a shiver down his spine.
”You’re being reckless…”
Aliona touched Kian’s ear and neck with her other hand.
It seemed like she was checking his pulse.
Her long hair swayed, and a sweet, gentle scent like lavender tickled his nose.
”I worked hard to hunt a griffin just to surprise Ms. Aliona. If I get treated like this, all the pain was worth it.”
Kian relaxed his eyes behind his glasses and broke into a big smile.
Aliona pursed her lips tightly.
”You need to clean the wound properly before sealing it. Just splashing some water on it and saying ‘all done’ won’t cut it. Hey, are you even listening? This isn’t the time to be smiling like that. Do you understand?”
”Yeah, of course.”
”You don’t seem to get it at all… Fine, I’ll let you use my bath.”
Saying that, Aliona took a bundle of herbs from a shelf.
Then she snapped her fingers, and the wall behind the desk slowly slid open.
It looked like a narrow passageway.
”There’s a bathroom in the back, so go ahead and use it. …Both your arms are swollen. I’ll help you stretch them a bit. …How’s that, does it hurt?”
”I can handle this much.”
”I’m not asking if you can handle it! Honestly, you’re such a handful.”
Aliona said that and placed her hands on her hips.
She pushed Kian’s back, urging him down the passageway.
Beyond the narrow, dark corridor was a changing room that was about the size of the shabby room he had stayed in before.
Beyond that was a larger bathing area.
The bath was definitely bigger than the room at ‘The Boar’s Trot Inn.’.
”Is it really okay to have a bath here?”
”No, it’s not. Of course not.”
Aliona said that casually and opened a drawer in the changing room, pulling out towels and soap one after another.
Kian looked up at the ceiling of the changing room.
For someone used to wiping down in a basin of water or bathing in a river, this was a huge luxury.
It had been a long time since he had a bath, not since Azrael.
”So, what you see here is a secret.”
”Is it really okay for me to use it?”
”I’m telling you, but there won’t be a next time. Even if you come back covered in dragon blood, I won’t let you in. Now, take off that black coat and get your bloody body out of here!”
”Sorry. Thank you. I’ll take my leave then.”
Kian reached for his coat and chainmail without hesitation.
His arm was in pain, but he managed to remove them himself, despite the discomfort.
”Ugh…!”
”Here, let me help.”
Aliona reached out and loosened his belt, pulling up the chainmail.
As she lifted his shirt, his bare stomach was revealed.
A small gasp escaped Aliona, who was leaning over Kian’s waist.
Her golden hair, hidden under a hood, twitched slightly.
Kian couldn’t see her expression, but he could sense her emerald eyes tracing his abs and chest muscles.
”You can take off your pants yourself, right?”
”Of course.”
”Can you wash yourself?”
”It might be difficult.”
As Kian spoke, Aliona looked up at him with a stern gaze.
”Put this bundle of herbs in the bath.”
”Bouquet Garni? Are you planning to cook something?”
Kian couldn’t help but tease her, a habit he had when wearing his glasses.
Even though it wasn’t that funny (in fact, it was kind of annoying), Aliona burst into laughter.
”Hehehe, yes. You’re the main ingredient. I hope the broth turns out tasty.”
”You’re scary. Seems like you really are a witch, like you said earlier.”
”Just get in the bath. Or I’ll make soup out of you for real.”
Aliona’s eyes remained serious, despite her smile.
Kian’s expression turned serious, and he politely removed his pants before opening the sliding door to the bath.
”Wow…”
As he stepped into the bathroom, he couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.
The floor was made of sleek, black stone.
In the center was a spacious bathtub, with a shower attached to the wall in the back.
(Eastern style. Reminds me of Azrael’s bath. And here I thought he was all serious, but he even has his own private bath down here.)
Aliona might actually be a person full of playful spirit.
Kian peeked into the bucket she had pushed on him.
Inside, there were soap and a towel.
The towel looked like it belonged to a monastery.
The soap was probably something she had made.
(Being a magician is really convenient. While I’m honing my sword skills, I ultimately want to develop my powers in the ‘Shot’ category.)
’How about you just take off your underwear for now?’
”Yeah, sounds good.”
Just as Kian nodded, the sliding door suddenly swung open behind him.
Without needing to turn around, he knew it was Aliona.
He thought maybe she had forgotten something, so he looked back.
”────.”
”……”
There stood an elf sister in a thin, nightgown-like dress, looking quite angry.
She wasn’t wearing any underwear, and her ample chest was perked up.
It almost seemed like it was slightly translucent.
She spoke quickly, avoiding eye contact with Kian.
”I’m just going to wash your body. You can’t wash it properly with those arms, can you?”
