Chapter 443: Another Discovery
CRASH! BANG!
A loud noise echoed through the room.
The simple act of an elegant table and chairs being knocked to the floor was enough to make the once-tidy room look like a complete disaster.
Well, the biggest factor in making the room look like a disaster was probably me.
“Keuk! Kack! Cough… Hnngh…”
I had been sent flying, landing on my back, and was now curled up on the floor, clutching my back and rolling around.
It hurts. It’s agonizing. I was desperately trying to convey my dire situation.
You ask what in the world is going on?
It’s simple. I told you, didn’t I? Just you wait until we get to the room.
It’s an act. All an act.
The moment Sara dragged me roughly into the room, I put on a bit of Hollywood-level acting, pretending to be sent flying by the force of her pull.
“Keuk! Cough! Hnngh!”
Don’t you dare scold me for knocking over an expensive table and chairs for such a trivial reason. I was careful enough not to break them, you know.
So, how about it, Sara? Aren’t you just overflowing with guilt for treating me so roughly?
But no matter how much I rolled around on the floor, Sara didn’t approach me, let alone say a word.
Ah, was my acting a little too over the top?
I guess so. She only pulled me a little, but for a person to suddenly fly several meters… there’s no way she wouldn’t see through that kind of Hollywood stunt.
Tch. I just overdid it a little because I was worried Sara wouldn’t feel guilty otherwise. A failure, then.
I slightly lifted my face, which had been rubbing against the floor, and looked up at Sara.
Isn’t the floor dirty? I think I’ve said this before, but it’s no problem at all. I have complete faith in the cleaning skills of our maids and Vanessa… well, enough about that.
In any case, Sara’s expression was quite different from what I had expected.
I thought she’d be staring down at me coldly, looking as cool and composed as usual—no, even more so. But her face was a mask of pure shock.
The hand she had used to drag me was still outstretched, and she was frozen in place as if time had stopped the moment we entered the room.
…Huh? Did it actually work?
I decided to press my luck one more time.
“Keeeuk…”
I stopped moving completely and went limp on the floor.
“Eh…? G-Guwon? Y-You’re joking, right? Stop playing weird pranks. I’m going to get really angry, you know?”
As she said that, Sara’s voice was trembling slightly.
Nice. My acting was perfect after all. Over the top? Who said that?
Maybe I’ll just pretend to be unconscious for a little longer.
“G-Guwon? Hey. For real? Guwon? Guwon?”
Sara slowly approached me, placed a hand on my body, and shook me gently.
But when I still didn’t react, a tearful quality began to creep into her voice.
“G-Guwooon…?”
“Yeah. What is it?”
Of course, since it was just a prank, I had no intention of making tears fall from my pretty Sara’s eyes.
By now, she must have reflected on her actions a little.
With that thought, I shot up and answered casually.
“……”
Oops. Was I a little too late?
As I sat up and looked at Sara, her eyes were already glistening with tears.
And then, her tearful eyes slowly began to fill with rage.
“You get it now, right, Sara? Violence is… Oww! That hurts! Sara!”
“I was really worried, you idiot! I can’t believe you! How could you pull a prank like that?! You idiot! Pervert!”
“You called me an idiot again… Oww! Hey! Seriously, time out! I get it! I’ll let it slide this time, so just stop hitting me… It hurts! Hey! Didn’t my acting just now make you feel anything? Like maybe you should stop hitting me…”
“What I learned is that you’re an idiot who needs to be hit a little more to come to his senses!”
“You? Are you talking to your oppa like… Ouch! Sorry! I was wrong! Just let me off the hook this once!”
How did it come to this?
I was trying to scold Sara, but now I’m the one getting scolded.
“You idiot! Pervert!”
But pushing Sara into a corner as planned while she was half-crying and hitting me was impossible for me.
“Haa… My whole body is aching.”
After Sara finally calmed down, I flopped onto the bed and muttered.
“Sniffle. Hmph! Serves you right!”
“Well, I did tease you enough to make you cry, so shall we call it even?”
“I-I wasn’t crying! That was… I was just acting along with Guwon’s stupid act, that’s all.”
No. You were just sniffling a moment ago. Besides, when you were hitting me, you said with your own mouth that you were really worried. Isn’t it a bit of a stretch to claim you weren’t crying?
Even as I thought that, I didn’t press the issue.
It was all for Sara’s sake. I’m just that magnanimous.
“Really? So you’re saying I was completely fooled and, on top of that, got beaten up?”
And well… I could also use Sara’s grumpy attitude to my advantage.
This is just a bonus, of course. My claim that I’m letting it go for Sara’s sake isn’t a lie. Really!
“Ah… W-Wait, that’s…”
“Aaaargh! The places Sara hit me are throbbing! My whole body hurts!”
“W-Wait! You’re exaggerating…!”
“Wanna check if I’m exaggerating or not?”
“H-Huh?”
“Fine. I’ll let you confirm it.”
I shot up from the bed and hastily started taking off my clothes.
To be honest, my body didn’t hurt at all. My natural healing ability is ridiculously good, after all.
This was a gamble. Please, marks, still be there.
I quickly stripped off everything down to my underwear, becoming completely naked, and examined my body.
There were… marks, but they were incredibly faint.
Like the kind you get from a light pinch? No, Sara’s handprints, even fainter than that, remained here and there on my body.
Damn it. I can’t even use this to pressure Sara.
“Ugh…”
I couldn’t hide my disappointment, but Sara seemed to have the opposite impression.
Seeing the faint traces of her own handprints on my body, she looked at me with an incredibly crestfallen expression.
…Huh? Can I use this again?
Just like before, Sara. Aren’t you a little too easy?
No. For her to be this easy, does that mean she was actually anxious about whether it was okay to hit me all this time? It only continued because I always just laughed it off.
“Sara. Look at these handprints. Don’t you have anything to say to me after seeing this?”
“Ngh… S-Sorry…”
When I asked in a low voice, Sara apologized in a tiny voice, unable to meet my eyes.
“Just with words?”
“Th-Then what do you want me to do?”
“Lick them.”
“……What?”
“Lick all the handprints until they disappear.”
“Y-You pervert, I knew you were trying to make me do something like this…!”
You’re a little slow on the uptake, Sara.
Think about why you and I came to this room in the first place.
It’s only natural that it leads to a sexual act!
My thought process is always intro, development, turn… sex. No, I mean, only at night. Only at night.
“So, are you not going to do it?”
“Ugh… Fine! I’ll do it! Happy now?! You pervert!”
Hey. Don’t glare at me with that “I’ve been tricked” look.
It’s a fact that it hurt, okay? Well, my reaction might have been a little exaggerated, but that’s within the realm of cute, right?
“You know how many times you have to call me oppa, right?”
“Eek… O-…”
“No. You don’t have to do it now. Do it while you’re licking.”
“Wha…! Haaah… Being with this pervert is so tiring.”
“Really? Then should I switch with someone else… No. Sorry. I was wrong. I want to be with Sara tonight, so please stay with me.”
There’s no need to look like you’re about to cry.
“Sniffle. Hmph. I guess I have no choice.”
Sara pushed me down onto the bed, then slowly undressed and climbed on top of me.
“Ah, wait a second.”
Since we had all been talking together, neither of us had washed up.
It wouldn’t matter if Sara washed up later, but it would probably be better if I cleaned my body.
I did wash up with a spirit after being with Silvia, but Sara has to lick me now.
I summoned a water spirit and had it wash my body, and as a bonus, Sara’s body as well.
“Hmph. Idiot. You don’t have to be that considerate.”
Sara must have realized I was being thoughtful, because she let out a small laugh and pressed her lips to my chest.
“You called me an idiot again.”
“I just have to call you oppa while I lick you, right? Isn’t that right, oppa? Mmm. Smooch. Lick. Like this?”
“Yeah. That’s it.”
As if tracing the now almost invisible handprints, Sara stuck out her tongue and let it crawl across my chest.
The sensation of her slick tongue, soft on the surface yet surprisingly firm and elastic, slithering over my chest wasn’t bad at all.
Besides, this was the impossibly cool-looking Sara, looking up at my face with upturned eyes while licking me.
The mental satisfaction from the sight was just as significant as the physical sensation on my skin.
“Really… making that dumb-looking face. You idiot oppa… Was everything you did from the moment we entered the room just to make me do this?”
“No. It really did hurt. It was to make you reflect a little.”
“I-I’m not saying I don’t reflect on it. But Guwo… oppa always does such stupid things…”
“Don’t lift your tongue.”
“Honestly… Mmm… Smooch. Haa-mm…”
Though her face said she wanted to complain more, Sara obediently pressed her lips to my chest.
Then, slowly, slowly, she moved upwards, her tongue beginning to lap at my collarbone.
Hey. I don’t remember being hit there.
Are there even any handprints?
“Sara?”
“Mmm… Smooch. Hm? What is it, oppa?”
“Hehet. It’s nothing.”
Well, whatever. It’s my cute Sara licking me, after all.
Sara slowly moved back down to shower my chest with kisses, then moved to my side.
“Haha, Sara. That tickles a little…”
“Turn over.”
“Huh?”
“Your back must have the most handprints, right?”
No. If I turn over, my need for visual satisfaction won’t be met, so you don’t have to do my back… is what I wanted to say, but then my justification for making her lick me would disappear.
I have no choice. I guess I’ll let her work on my back a little, like I’m getting a massage.
As I turned onto my stomach, Sara sat down on my butt, her own butt resting on mine.
“Th-There are so many… I’m sorry…”
It seemed there were a few more handprints on my back than on my front, because Sara’s voice momentarily turned tearful again as she muttered and gently stroked my back with her hand.
She’s surprisingly quick to cry, this one. For someone who looks as cool as Vanessa.
Well, that’s part of Sara’s charm, I suppose.
Besides, I’m the only one she shows this side to.
After stroking my back for a moment, Sara leaned down again and first placed a gentle kiss on my neck.
I had no memory of being hit on the neck either, but hey, it felt good, so whatever.
After planting several pecks on my neck, Sara finally moved her mouth to my back.
But instead of licking all over like she did on my chest, she started moving down from my neck, tracing my spine.
…Huh? Hey. Wait a minute. Hold on. You’re already at my waist. How far down are you planning to go? Why aren’t you stopping? If you go any further…
“Aaargh! Hey! Wait! What are you trying to do?!”
“Hm? Oh, nothing. I think I hit your butt, too.”
As I shouted in surprise, Sara answered with a giggle.
This girl… she was on the verge of tears just a moment ago. If you laugh while you cry, you’ll get… no, wait. Then I’d be the one in trouble.
Damn it! That’s a cheap shot!
“You never hit my butt! Besides, I said you only had to lick where there were handprints!”
“Oh my. But then I’d feel too sorry. To apologize properly, I have to lick all the places I hit, even if there are no marks.”
“I don’t need it! So… Hey! I said that’s enough! I’m telling you I’m fine!”
“No. Even if you say you’re fine, oppa, my heart won’t be at ease. So stop squirming and present your butt! I’ll take this opportunity to make you feel firsthand just how embarrassing it was for me when you always attacked my butt!”
“Hey! Your true intentions are showing! Sorry, my ass! Was this your plan when you told me to turn over?! Hey! Seriously, get off me! Hey! Get off my butt!”
“Give up and present your butt already!”
“I’m not into that kind of thing! Besides, what kind of girl… don’t you think it’s dirty?!”
“It’s fine. There isn’t a siiiingle dirty part on Guwo… on oppa’s body!”
Sara said to me with a fresh smile, as if she had prepared the line in advance.
For some reason, I’d heard that line before.
This is bad. This is really bad. This girl, Sara. Her eyes are completely serious.
If this continues, my virtue…
