Chapter Title: Doctor Gam Deok-bae (4)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Even after hearing such an embarrassing treatment method, Iris wanted it. She just wanted to be healthy already. She had the will to live too. With only five or six years left before she lost her life... she couldn't refuse treatment just because it was shameful.
"...You're serious?"
Of course, she hated the idea of "that sort of thing." But even so, she wanted to live. She wanted to travel like others, fall in love... and enjoy those small but precious happinesses. So, for the first time in her life, she stubbornly insisted. Iris raised her voice with newfound courage.
"Yes. I'm serious."
"Iris!"
"It's okay, Brother... I'm okay!"
And she trusted Dirk Luin.
According to the report, he was a wonderful person. What doctor in the world would treat the poor for free? What doctor would give up their own home for patients? If what the butler said was true, Dirk Luin was a saint straight out of a fairy tale.
A man proud of his profession as a doctor.
A man respected by his patients.
Hearing that villagers lined up to see him, Iris decided to trust him. He looked a bit rough around the edges, but that made him seem honest. With someone like that, who seemed tight-lipped... she could hand over her body, even if it was embarrassing.
"Still... we just learned the name of your illness. If we investigate it, we're bound to find a better treatment. And if all else fails, we could seek out the elves. So... don't rush into this. Okay?"
"But Brother... there's no guarantee a better treatment will come from that. What if we wait endlessly and the illness worsens? I'm scared."
"But Iris... Sigh, that guy's treatment method is..."
"He said it's fine, Brother."
"Iris! Please... value your body more."
"That's exactly why I'm doing this, Brother! I want to be healthy now too! I want to be happy now too! Sniff... Is that so wrong?!"
"Ah, Iris..."
In the end, it was Sirius who backed down.
He couldn't crush his little sister's wish to be healthy.
But he couldn't just leave her alone with that guy either... so Sirius added a condition. He would wear the family heirloom artifact, the necklace called Arcanus that made the wearer invisible, and monitor the doctor.
"Wha...? You're going to monitor him?"
"Yeah. You never know."
"N-No... I don't want that!"
"What?!"
"I-It's embarrassing..."
"Letting that guy touch you is fine?!"
"That's embarrassing too... but ugh... showing that to you, Brother, is ten times more humiliating! I'd be too ashamed to even talk!"
"...Still, no. I can't leave you alone with some guy of unknown origins."
"Eek..."
He wasn't wrong. They had "that incident" to deal with... so Sirius's wariness made sense. In the end, Iris surrendered. But she asked that if the test passed, this would be the only time. She didn't want her family seeing her go through "that sort of thing." Sirius nodded.
"If that guy's really trustworthy... fine, just this once."
"Promise?"
"Iris. Have I ever broken a promise, even once?"
"Heehee... No, never."
And so, the two reached a dramatic compromise. The next day, Dirk Luin arrived at the mansion. Was he a fraud, or a real doctor? Filled with curiosity, Sirius hid himself. It was time to uncover Dirk Luin's true nature.
"Does it hurt?"
"N-No... i-it's fine."
"Hmm, your body's a bit tense. It'd be better to relax more."
"O-Okay..."
"Or, Lady Iris, would you like to lean back instead? That might be more comfortable."
"A-All right..."
Following the doctor's words, Iris naturally leaned back against him. It looked just like an embrace, souring Sirius's mood. That bastard—is he doing it on purpose? It was suspicious no matter who looked. Sirius wanted to charge out right then.
"Then, let's begin again."
"Hau..."
Fortunately—or unfortunately—it didn't cross any further lines. With a stern expression, Dirk Luin reached out and grasped his sister's breast. The clinical caresses carried no hint of lewdness, leaving Sirius's mind in turmoil. I thought he was a pervert... but surprisingly, he was serious about the treatment. If anything, Iris was the one getting aroused.
"Haa... s-slowly, please..."
"The herb's effects must be kicking in."
"Y-Yes... ugh, yeah... it feels weird..."
His sister, leaning against Dirk Luin... let out ragged breaths. Iris's budding breasts were kneaded by the doctor. She twitched her head with every movement of his hands. Is she... feeling it right now? Sirius felt an unfamiliar emotion.
An empty yet tender feeling.
A strong sense of loss and surging anger.
The illusion of something precious being stolen made Sirius clench his fist.
"Do you have someone you admire, Lady Iris?"
"Wha...? S-Suddenly?"
"You heard the explanation, right? We need to trick the fruit."
"Ah... yes."
"So, if there's someone you like... imagine doing this with them. It'll be much more effective. And... if possible, imagine 'that sort of act' too. That's the only way to truly fool the fruit."
"I-Is that so...?"
"Ah, if there's no one, picturing your ideal type works too."
"N-No, that's not it..."
"Lady Iris?"
"Sorry... even if you say 'that sort of act,' I don't know what it is..."
"I-I see! My apologies, that was rude of me!"
What the hell are you making my sister do?! Iris's face flushed red. Clearly flustered by the suggestion to imagine "that sort of act." Forcing such a pure girl into this... is he really insane? Sirius wanted to punch Dirk Luin.
But Iris showed no sign of anger.
Still leaning against him, feeling his caresses... his little sister panted softly. The lewd expression unlike her usual self... she must be intoxicated by the herb. And... surprisingly, Sirius felt the same.
The mature side of his sister, whom he'd thought was just a child.
She was still very immature, but... that "womanly" face was enough to fluster Sirius. It shocked him deeply. Even if it was the herb's fault, getting aroused by his sister... it was unforgivable, something that shouldn't happen. Self-loathing washed over him.
"Then next time, I'll bring you a book."
"...A book?"
"Yes. To trick the fruit, you need to imagine 'that act' anyway. So I'll give you an erotic novel to reference anytime."
"E-Erotic novel...?"
"Lady Iris. It's purely for treatment."
"Ugh..."
"Lady Iris."
"O-Okay... if it's for treatment..."
"Good. Ah, by the way, how do you feel now?"
"I... don't know. Haa... hazy, floating..."
"Hmm, then try thinking it's a good feeling."
"...Huh?"
"It's self-hypnosis. Think 'it feels good, I'm getting aroused,' and your body will follow. That's what helps the treatment."
"U-Ugh... like that..."
"Come on, Lady Iris. Think it. It feels good. I'm getting aroused."
"I-It feels good... haa, I'm getting aroused..."
Iris murmured "it feels good" while twitching her hips.
I should stop this... but for some reason, he couldn't. Was he affected by the herb too? Lewd words spilling from pure Iris's lips. Sirius watched his sister, caressed by the doctor... saying it felt good. Unlike the composed Dirk Luin, she was lost in pleasure.
Blood rushed below.
"Good. It's reacting a little... the fruit."
"Haaa... that's a relief, ugh..."
"So from now on, I'll touch more intensely."
"Eh? More intensely?"
"Half-hearted stimulation could make it worse."
"I-It can...?"
"Then, beginning."
"Ugh, yeah... haa!"
Was he showing his true colors... or was this still part of the treatment?
In the blink of an eye, the doctor's demeanor shifted. His expression stayed the same, but his touches turned obscene. No longer clinical. One hand toyed with his sister's nipple... oh god, the other stroked her body everywhere.
Rubbing her cheek on his shoulder, caressing her earlobe, touching her lips...
He could feel his sister getting aroused.
Already intoxicated by the herb, she went from whimpering to sobbing.
"How do you feel now?"
"Haaa, ugh... i-it's weird... the feeling, haaa..."
"What did I say earlier?"
"To... use self-hypnosis..."
"Then say it."
"It feels... ugh, haaang... good. Being touched by you, Mr. Luin, haaang..."
"Where feels good?"
"Th-There..."
"Be specific."
"U-Ugh... I... ugh, haang... my nipples!"
Leaning into Dirk Luin, his sister let out lascivious cries. It snapped Sirius back to reality. Treatment or not, this crossed the line. Touching her like that was unacceptable. He was about to drop his invisibility and intervene when...
"Phew, that's it for today."
The treatment ended right then.
Back to his gentlemanly self in an instant, Dirk Luin laid Iris on the bed and opened the window for ventilation. Unlike the two lost in afterglow, he remained calm to the end.
"At least, overload successful."
"I-Is that so, haa... what a relief..."
"You'll feel vitality for a while. But... it won't last long."
"Th-Thank you... haa, for your efforts..."
"You did the work, Lady Iris. Rest in bed today. Overload strains the heart. And... here's a pile of herbs. Boil them for lunch and dinner; it'll aid recovery."
"Thank you..."
"Lady Iris. Thank you for not giving up on life. Facing potentially embarrassing treatment with courage was admirable. So as a doctor, I'll take full responsibility and do my utmost until the end."
"Heehee... looking forward to it, Mr. Luin."
Dirk Luin acted the doctor to the last moment.
Aside from that precarious instant, there was no opening to intervene. By today's performance alone, he passed. Much to Sirius's displeasure. He wanted to deck him... damn it. Sirius swallowed his rage.
"Then I'll take my leave. Contact me when you're ready for more."
"Yes, Mr. Luin. I'll reach out."
With that, the treatment ended, and Dirk Luin left. As the door closed, Sirius dropped his invisibility and appeared. He approached his sister to check on her.
"I'm disappointed, Brother."
Out of nowhere, she scolded him.
"Huh? Suddenly?"
"You hit him again. The miracle doctor who diagnosed me."
For the first time in ages, Iris was truly angry.
