Why Call the Doctor for a Quick Checkup?
After wrapping up the hassle with the hyena saintesses, I leaned my side against Leo's flank like a duffel bag slung over my shoulder and let her carry me. Moments later, the familiar white marble building came into view right beneath our feet.
“That underground dungeon business aside, I've been noticing lately that the patrols have been getting stricter.”
“...It's been pretty intense around the saintess village these days.”
“Why?”
“...I don't know. The rumors are all over the place, but there's no way to verify them.”
We watched the hyena saintesses, faces still flushed from their arrest and covered in filth, being marched off by the patrol squad toward whatever destination they had in mind.
The back alleys were already under stricter enforcement than anywhere else, but now it looked like they were trying to shut down business entirely. The squad had even strung yellow tape marked with “No Entry” signs across the entrances.
“That shortcut...”
“...”
Leo stared at me with a hint of frustration in her golden eyes, her tall, muscular frame rigid and silent.
She reached for the handle on the rooftop access door, ready to set me down, but then she stepped straight toward me. From between her breasts, she pulled out a strange-looking whistle.
“...Use this.”
“What is that? How did you even get that?”
The whistle in Leo's hand was a bit different from the ones the patrol squad had been carrying. It was sleek, metallic, and unmistakably something special.
“...If things get dangerous, blow this. I'll come running no matter where I am. Understood?”
“Whoa...”
That's when I remembered how, just moments ago, Leo had been chasing those same hyena saintesses across the carpet, her tail whipping in excitement. The image made me give her backside a playful, light swat like I would a cat's.
Leo reacted instantly.
“...Don't provoke me. It's embarrassing.”
“I didn't do anything.”
“...If a lioness keeps spanking her own butt like that, she could get claimed right here and have no complaints.”
I wrapped my arms gently around her waist and tugged her tail in the direction I wanted, pulling her royal rear closer.
“...First, let's handle your leg injury. Nemea's probably waiting.”
“You're the most patient one here, Leo.”
Any other saintess, like Dyna, would have found the nearest hidden alley or stripped completely just to flash me. But Leo simply continued breathing heavily from our earlier encounter, her tail lazily wrapping around my arm as she supported me without going further.
“...How did your leg get hurt?”
“Mmm, I slipped from a high place. There was a bit of a tumble.”
“...Rooftop work?”
Leo tilted her head, unable to guess the real reason and just offering a polite smile instead.
I couldn't tell her the truth about the tag-team wrestling match with Dyna and Pariot, so I just smiled awkwardly in reply. Following Leo's lead, we made our way to the treatment room where Nemea was waiting.
“The clinic feels a little different lately...”
“...We really aren't that kind of establishment. The constant patrols, the media coverage, everyone attacking the saintess village as a whole—it's all starting to feel like we've been lumped in with those shady places.”
“...”
Even if that wasn't entirely accurate, the bustling crowd that usually packed the reception area for skilled saintesses' treatments had thinned out noticeably. The hall was quieter than usual.
“...Other clinics getting caught in the crackdown is dragging our reputation down too.”
“I mean, it's not like that at all...”
My eyes naturally drifted toward the hidden wall with the secret door.
Leo noticed my gaze and tilted her head in genuine confusion. She escorted me straight to Nemea's treatment room.
“Hehe, you're here. I've been waiting for this moment so long. All that time sharpening my teeth and waiting... You have no idea how much I prepared!”
“...”
I really had been delivered to her like a catch.
Right as I stepped into the room, Nemea launched herself at me like a beast attacking prey. She climbed up my body, refusing to let me escape, and rubbed her face against my neck, sniffing my scent deeply.
“Haa, this smell. This lioness essence that even catnip can't compare to... ♡”
“...True. It's disgusting. Keep teasing and denying me.”
“Me?”
The elves' sweaty scent drove them crazy, and the hyena saintesses from earlier must have felt the same. Was there something special that only beastkin could smell?
“Come on, follow me. You look like you hurt, don't you, sis?”
“...Yeah, treatment first. I'll help with the shower too.”
“A shower? Why?”
Nemea's cat-like saintesses were already sniffing the air curiously. They quickly pushed open the secret wall in the corner of the treatment room and dragged me straight into the attached shower room.
“...If you sweat, the treatment will be harder.”
“Exactly! Did you think I'd keep that lioness stench up while getting treated? More importantly, this is ‘medical treatment’! You couldn't have been thinking anything inappropriate, right?”
“Er... no, I'm not. It's medical treatment.”
Without exchanging a single word, we naturally stripped each other. I took off her top and pants while she did the same to me. It was as if we were both silently accusing the other of impropriety.
But there was no basis for the accusation. Today had been exhausting with all the chaos, and I was covered in sweat and grime. I stepped into the shower room without resistance.
“So, sis?”
“...Yeah, lie down here.”
Leo pointed to the folding table that the attendants used in Nemea's bathroom from last time.
Leo gently placed my naked body on the table and wagged her tail while secretly glancing at Nemea's preparations. She opened her mouth and took my shaft inside, sucking gently.
“Leo...?”
“...Mmm ♡”
“The revenge day has finally arrived. After the humiliation last time, I waited for this moment with my nails sharpened...!”
Meanwhile, Nemea was completely unaware. She was busy changing clothes and spraying perfume, fussing over herself.
Just like last time, Leo's tail spun like a propeller as she thought about seducing me behind Nemea's back. Once she finished cleaning everything up with her tongue, she looked down at me silently again and picked up the shower head.
Splash, splash, splash—
“...Is it cold?”
“No, it's perfect.”
“...If it's cold, tell me.”
Leo calmly wiped the stray fur from her lips and washed my body.
“Hooray~ ♡”
Nemea, who still had no idea, was unable to hold back the shower noise anymore. She walked into the bathroom wearing the same thin negligee from last time and took the shower head from Leo.
“Sis? Then if I give the signal—”
“...It's fine.”
“Aww, sis, you're really missing out! I've been telling you since last time not to waste this chance!”
“...”
I couldn't tell what conversation had passed between them, but from the way Nemea kept stealing glances away from me, it sounded like they had been whispering something very suggestive.
I found it oddly amusing to watch Nemea scold her twin sister like a brat while I was completely in the dark about what Leo had done to me just moments ago.
“Look, look! She's laughing like she doesn't know what she's in for!”
“...Yeah, disgusting.”
“Aigoo”
The smile vanished from my face the moment the twin sisters' eyes turned toward me, both of them staring intently.
“Why are you laughing? What are you laughing at?!”
“...Is a lioness funny?”
“...”
Nemea was practically squirming, dying to punish me. She wasn't even wearing panties, trying to hide her crotch with her tail while Leo sneakily wiped away the leaked fluid with her tail.
The situation was genuinely funny, even if they were glaring at me with disgust.
“So, sis? I'll do the treatment first—”
“...I wanted to wash you too.”
“We can do plenty later. Right now... there was another delivery earlier. So, yeah? I'll call you later.”
“...If anything happens, call me right away?”
Before stepping out of the secret space, Leo muttered the last thing. Nemea nodded in agreement.
She reached for the whistle around my neck to check if water had entered it, but Nemea giggled.
“Oh? What's this whistle for? Why are you gripping it so tightly... Hehe, no suspicious activities! Just do the treatment normally, collect the medical fees, and we'll all be happy... ♡”
Nemea's eyes sparkled with mischief as she held the shower head high.
