Chapter 134: 1. Lift Elfriede Up (4)[R-18]
Step— Step—
As I left Universal Land, I tried to wrap my head around it, but I just couldn't make sense of it.
"So it was all just a misunderstanding on my part?"
Of course, there was a high possibility I had misread the situation.
Until recently, I had lived my entire life as a forever-alone virgin.
But still...
"Wasn't the atmosphere incredibly good, no matter how you look at it?"
If I had to summarize the date I experienced in four phrases, it would be this:
'Ferris wheel,' 'A kiss,' 'Romantic,' 'Successful.'
...Well, at least until Elfriede performed an 'Emergency Escape' from the very top of the Ferris wheel.
*
'But Senior. Do you remember the promise you made last time?'
'What promise?'
'Hmph~ You dummy. You told me you could do "something more" than this.'
'Ah...'
'You're going to... keep that promise, right?'
Seeing Elfriede close her eyes and tilt her chin up, I wouldn't be a man if I backed down.
'—Ngh!♥'
As I gripped Elfriede’s shoulders, a small moan escaped her lips as if she were nervous.
'....'
'....'
Just as our lips were about to overlap...
Thud—!
Suddenly, Elfriede pushed me away.
'Elfriede?'
'Ahaha... I'm sorry. I just remembered something urgent.'
'...Right now?'
'Yes... right now.'
Clack—!!
At the same time, the Ferris wheel door, which should have been firmly locked, swung open, and Elfriede shouted something as she leaped out.
'....rryyyyyyy!!'
Though her voice was buried under the whistling wind and I couldn't quite hear her.
*
"Why did she really run away?"
I could understand if she just hated me.
But would someone who hates you enough to jump off the top of a Ferris wheel ask you out on a date in the first place?
...Then, did she hate the kiss?
That didn't seem right either.
When I kissed Elfriede for the first time, she stayed perfectly still.
Well, back then, it felt a bit like she couldn't react because it happened so suddenly...
"I really don't know."
The more I thought about it, the more tangled my head felt. Just as I was about to do some gallery lurking to clear my mind—
—Flash!
"....?"
A small spark of fire bloomed before my eyes.
—Flash!
—Flash!
—Flash!
Without giving me a moment to be surprised, the sparks continued to bloom, flickering as if telling me to follow.
"...."
It wasn't a normal situation by any means, but only one thought came to mind.
"Elfriede?"
The sparks flickered even more brightly as if confirming I was right.
"...."
As I followed, the sparks gradually picked up speed.
Tap, tap, tap—!
"This place is...?"
After running for quite a while, the place I arrived at was a public cemetery.
I had no idea why Elfriede had called me to a graveyard, but for now, I continued to follow the guidance of the sparks.
And finally...
"...."
In the middle of the graves, I saw Elfriede lying there with her eyes closed.
"She looks like a princess."
The words flowed out naturally as I looked at her.
A white dress, a slender frame, a sculpted face, and a swarm of butterflies fluttering around her.
I've seen an actual Imperial Princess and the Saintess, but in terms of pure atmosphere, the Elfriede before my eyes looked the most like a princess.
'...But why is she like that?'
She was just guiding me with her spirits a moment ago, so why is she pretending to be asleep?
"Elfriede."
"...."
I called her name, but there was no response.
Trudge— Trudge—
"Elfriede, what are you doing here?"
"...."
"...Elfriede?"
Seeing her remain suspiciously unresponsive, I checked her breathing. She wasn't pretending; she was truly fast asleep.
"Then how?"
It was definitely Elfriede who led me here...
Can a super-genius spirit mage give commands to spirits even while unconscious?
I don't know.
Normally it would be impossible, but I've never heard of a spirit mage at Elfriede's level before.
"What on earth is... sniff?"
As I was agonizing over Elfriede's intentions, a sweet scent brushed against the tip of my nose.
—Sniff! —Sniff!
As I sniffed around to find the source of the scent, I unexpectedly discovered why so many butterflies had gathered.
"...This is honey?"
It was because of the honey smeared in Elfriede's armpits.
Dab! Slurp—!
I dabbed Elfriede's armpit with my finger and tasted it; it was definitely honey.
"Why put honey in her armpits?"
The questions were piling up.
1. Why did Elfriede jump off the Ferris wheel?
2. Why is Elfriede in a public cemetery?
3. For what reason did Elfriede smear honey in her armpits?
'...Let's think slowly. Everything has a reason.'
Throb—! Throb—!
After running my brain at full capacity for a long time, I reached a single conclusion.
"...Does she want me to lick her armpits?"
When I thought of it that way, everything clicked into place.
It might sound like a crazy idea, but a certain great detective once said:
When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
I'd bet that if I checked Elfriede's fetishes, 'armpits' would be ranked quite high.
"The 'something more' Elfriede mentioned on the Ferris wheel didn't mean a kiss. ...She wanted me to lick her armpits."
But she couldn't bring herself to ask for it while sober, so she ran away.
In her flight, she ended up at the graves, and while wondering how she could naturally get me to lick her armpits, she must have concluded that smearing honey on them beforehand was the answer.
"That was a silly thought, Elfriede."
There was no need for such a thing.
Even without honey, I would have licked Elfriede's armpits as much as she wanted.
"...Inhale!!"
Slurrrp!!
Taking a deep breath, I buried my face between Elfriede's armpits.
*
Twitch—!
Elfriede's body trembled at the ticklish and strange sensation.
It was a sensation she was experiencing for the first time in her life, but she didn't hate it.
In fact, she felt like she wanted to feel it even more intensely.
"Ehehe...!♥"
Then, as if reading her mind, the sensation intensified, and Elfriede woke up.
"Ah, you're awake, Elfriede?"
"Eh...? Se... Senior?"
Perhaps because she had been in a deep sleep, her mind wasn't working properly.
But there was one thing that was strange.
Why was Ian here?
No...
Why was Ian licking her armpits?
"Se... Se-Senior? What are you doing right now?"
"I'm licking your armpits."
"I-I know that... but I mean, why are you licking my armpits!? Do you like armpits that much? I feel like I'm seriously going to lose my mind, you know? Is this even reality? This is a dream, right? Right? Tell me it's a dream! Senior!!"
"Elfriede. Calm down."
"How can I be calm in this situation!! To think Senior was such a pervert who licks just any armpits!!"
"No, I didn't lick them because they're armpits. I licked them because they're 'Elfriede's armpits.'"
Ba-dump! Ba-dump!
Seeing Ian's serious face for the first time in a while, Elfriede felt a tightening sensation in her lower abdomen for some reason.
Of course, looking at the words alone, it was a completely insane confession...
But what mattered in a confession wasn't the 'words,' but 'who' said them.
"N-Not just any armpits... but... my... my... armpits are what you like?"
"Yeah. I like Elfriede's smooth armpits, without a single stray hair."
"Haaah...!♥"
After pondering Ian's answer for a moment, Elfriede raised her other arm and spoke.
Slide—
"I-I guess it can't be helped... I-If... you like them... that much... you can... lick... this side too... Hieee?!♥"
Before Elfriede could even finish her sentence, Ian began licking the other armpit.
"Ha..♥ Haaah!... Se... Se-Senior..!., Hick!...♥ S-Stop!.. Hng!...♥ I-I was joking!♥ Ha...!♥ Haaah... ngh...♥ Ha.. Se... Senior...♥ Stop!.. Stop it.. p-please..♥"
Slurp—! Slurp—!
As Ian continued to lick her armpits, that ticklish and strange sensation surged up again.
'Haaah...!♥ Senior... likes... armpits... way too much... doesn't he?...♥ I... I don't... smell, do I?....♥ Well... for now... I did put perfume oil on my armpits.... Eh?'
At that moment, Elfriede remembered.
What had happened just before she fell asleep as if fainting.
The battle with the Special-Class Subjugation Target? The restoration of the public cemetery?
None of that was the problem.
'I... I... sweated, didn't I?'
Just before passing out, Elfriede had been drenched in cold sweat.
Of course, Elfriede was the type to claim that what comes out of a beautiful girl's armpits isn't body odor but a 'fragrant virgin scent'...
But that only applied to well-maintained armpits, not a state where she was covered in sweat like right now.
'N-No!!!'
If by any chance she heard Ian say she was 'sour,' it might become a trauma.
"Se-Senior!!! W-Wait a second...! Senior!! S-Stop!! Seriously, stop!!! I sweated a lot... I... I smell!"
"Don't worry, it's fragrant."
"No... T-That can't be!... Hng..!.. Ah!... Really!!.. Se.. Senior.. seriously stop...!.. For real!!"
Unlike before, she meant it sincerely, but Ian didn't stop.
'...If it's come to this!!'
Elfriede resolved to pull Ian away even if she had to use force...
Flop—
'Eh?... Why?'
Perhaps she hadn't recovered from the aftereffects of Mana Depletion, but she couldn't put any strength into her limbs, and she couldn't even call her spirits.
'If the moon is up, that means a lot of time has passed!?! Why is there no mana at alllll!!!'
The culprit was Ifrit.
While Elfriede was asleep, he had washed away the sweat and called in a breeze laden with fragrance to make her skin soft and dry again.
Since he had used mana recklessly without the spirit mage's permission, the efficiency was extremely low, but by squeezing out every last drop, he had somehow managed it!
Slurp—! Slurrrp!
In the end, having become a 'Sensitive Frail Beautiful High Elf Girl', Elfriede had no choice but to let Ian continue licking her armpits without being able to resist.
"Ha.. Hng..!♥.. Uuuhng...♥!... Se... Senior!... Ngh!.♥.. S-Stop... I-If you keep!.♥.. Haa..!♥ licking like that...♥"
"If I lick?"
"Ngh...!♥ I-I mean... Haaah!♥... Ugh..!♥"
Elfriede rubbed her legs together and bit her lip.
Due to the nature of the Elf tribe, whose aging slows down more and more as they get older, Elfriede's first puberty had passed over 200 years ago.
To be clear, nothing had happened to Elfriede back then.
At the time, the only people Elfriede could meet were the elders, there was no Gallery, and she hadn't even received sex education.
But...
Elfriede, who had undergone a Metamorphosis through the 'Primordial Flame', knew exactly what state she was in during this second puberty.
'...W-What is this!..♥ T-This, don't tell me... I'm... in... heat?!♥'
Puberty!
In other words, it was the moment the body enters its first fertile period.
In such a state, if the man she had given her heart to kept licking her armpits, she couldn't help but go into heat.
Slide—
Then, finally stopping his licking, Ian placed his hand on her thigh and asked.
"Shall we do... something more?"
Thump! Thump! Thump!
More? More than this?
Then just how far was he planning to go?
—Nod
As Elfriede, her face turning beet red with whatever thoughts she was having, nodded her head.
"Hieek!?!♥"
Ian lifted Elfriede up.
