This Flavor Is the Taste of Doing Naughty Things!
The end of a busy period doesn't make it any easier to avoid overtime, especially on a Friday night. Darkness had already settled outside, but the office still glowed brightly. Ugh... my whole body feels so stiff. Have I not been sleeping well lately? The recent tension must have tightened everything up, leaving my muscles rigid and sore.
Overtime was one thing, but the new project had caught fire. Everyone was riding that momentum, working with fierce dedication, so there was no chance to let the tension ease. Still, at least I wasn't alone today.
"Aaaah~ All done. Manager Kang, are you finished too?"
Ha Eun-ju leaned back in her chair and stretched with a long groan.
"Yes, I just wrapped up as well."
"Aaaah, I'm really sorry for making you work overtime right before the weekend~ But those documents were absolutely necessary by next week..."
In truth, this overtime wasn't because my own work had run late. I was staying to help Ha Eun-ju with hers. Since she'd helped me plenty of times when I had to pull all-nighters, I figured this was the least I could do.
"No, it's fine. You helped me out last time too."
"Then how about we grab a drink together for the first time in a while? My treat."
"Sounds good. Where should we go?"
"Hmm... How about that place we had the last team dinner? They had those small tables. It looked perfect for just the two of us."
And so we headed back to the restaurant where we'd celebrated the success of our previous project. We ordered some simple snacks and draft beer.
Ha Eun-ju downed her beer in one go.
"Krrraaah~ Now I feel alive again~!"
"It's been a while since we've had a drink. Ever since the project started, it's been hard to find time for a proper night out."
"Eat up. We've been so busy lately, and I've been dragging you into overtime on top of it."
"Thank you. But please take it slow..."
The cold beer sliding down my throat alongside the delicious snacks naturally led us into casual conversation about everyday life instead of work. We were deep in discussion when she suddenly asked,
"So, how's that hobby of yours going these days?"
Ha Eun-ju had a slightly flushed face and a mischievous, almost perverted grin as she asked the question like some sleazy old man. Come to think of it, during our last business trip she'd caught wind of my secret little hobby. I remembered the conversation we'd had on the train ride back—something about what kind of yokai were good and what kind weren't. That sort of thing.
"Haha... well, it's just... I've been so busy lately... Oh! I did rent a Mary doll once."
"Ah, that one! The one that does housework and all sorts of other things, right? Do they have male versions too?"
"I think they do... Are you feeling lonely these days, ma'am?"
Ha Eun-ju flinched at my words and waved her hands frantically.
"No! No! Housework is just such a hassle..."
With her cheeks flushed from the alcohol and that embarrassed expression on her face, Ha Eun-ju looked surprisingly cute.
"Haha... I originally rented one for the housework too..."
"Originally...? So you ended up doing other things besides the original purpose...?"
Her face shifted back into that mischievous grin. She looked like a little kid who'd just found something fun to tease me about.
"Well... that's the kind of place it is..."
I mumbled awkwardly, embarrassed.
"Oh my, my~ So you're quite the perverted lecher, aren't you~?"
"But lately it's been a bit tough. My body's been so tense that everything feels stiff..."
In reality, my body had started creaking in various places recently. Even if I went to a yokai brothel, I couldn't enjoy it as much as before.
When she heard that, Ha Eun-ju clapped her hands as if she'd been waiting for exactly this.
"Perfect timing, then~"
She rummaged through her bag with hazy, unfocused eyes. She was pretty drunk, so I wasn't sure she could even see inside her bag properly, but she seemed to find what she was looking for. With a sly grin, she pulled something out.
"Ta-da~ It's a present~ You've been helping me so much lately, so this is my thanks."
I took the slip of paper she offered. It said "Bathhouse Voucher."
"This is...?"
"It's a free pass to the bathhouse nearby. It includes free scrubbing and massage~ You said your body was stiff, so go get a good scrub and massage."
"Ah... yes. Thank you."
"Then let's have one last drink~"
The next afternoon.
Is this the place...?
I stood in front of a bathhouse located in the yokai brothel district near the company. The exterior was larger than a typical bathhouse and resembled the Japanese-style ones I'd seen in manga. Most surprising of all was finding a bathhouse right in the middle of the yokai brothel street.
Should I go in?
I slid open the door and stepped inside. The interior felt even more like a traditional Japanese bathhouse. After placing my shoes in the shoe cabinet at the entrance, I saw an employee sitting behind a wooden counter.
The atmosphere called for a kindly old grandmother, but the person behind the counter was a slender young female yokai. Her hair was tied in a neat bun, and she had pointed ears. She greeted me politely.
I pulled the free coupon from my pocket and handed it to her.
"Ah! A free coupon. The course includes full body scrubbing and massage. Please choose which attendant will take care of you today."
She pushed a catalog toward me.
Huh...? Choose an attendant...?
It felt strangely familiar. As I pondered that sense of déjà vu, I noticed that every attendant listed in the catalog was a female yokai.
"Isn't this the wrong catalog? This is for female attendants..."
"Ah, is this your first time here? This establishment functions as both a yokai brothel and a bathhouse. We provide female attendants for male guests and male attendants for female guests. Or... is that not your preference? I'm sorry, but we don't have any attendants who cater to that particular taste..."
"No, no!! I'll choose from here."
I quickly cut her off before she could get the wrong idea and turned my attention to the catalog. All the yokai pictured had pointed ears. They seemed to be the same species.
"I'll go with this person."
I picked a woman who looked modest and refined. She had long straight hair, wore a kimono, and stood in a graceful, demure pose.
"Understood! Please proceed to the men's bath, wash yourself first, then wait in the hot spring. The attendant will come to fetch you. Please follow her instructions from there."
"Alright..."
I undressed in the men's changing room and took a shower. From the outside the bathhouse had looked huge, but the lobby, changing rooms, and bathing areas combined seemed much smaller than the building's exterior suggested. There were quite a few people in the bath, mostly elderly men. I guess young people don't come at this hour...
Those random thoughts lasted only a moment. The moment I sank deep into the warm water, I felt all the fatigue in my body melt away. The heat spread across my skin, softening the muscles that had grown rock-hard from tension.
"Ughhh..."
All the stray thoughts vanished. My head felt completely clear, as if it had been washed white.
I'd been soaking for several minutes when a woman entered the bath area. She looked around, then walked straight toward me. She spoke to me as I sat in the water.
"Sir, you requested an attendant, correct? I'll guide you now."
Looking closely, she was indeed the one I'd chosen from the catalog. I'd been so lost in how good the bath felt that I'd completely forgotten I'd even called for one.
I stood up and followed her guidance.
"He's young~"
"So young..."
The old men in the bath muttered to themselves as they watched me leave with the attendant. Since this place doubled as both a bathhouse and a yokai brothel, everyone understood that calling for an attendant meant I was about to do something naughty. Everyone in the bath knew exactly what was about to happen.
This is a little embarrassing...
I used the towel I'd brought to modestly cover my groin and followed the attendant. She had long black hair and wore a kimono. Her face was slender with narrow, slit-like eyes, making it hard to read her expression. She gave off the vibe of one of those elegant female workers you'd see in a Japanese inn from a manga. Her steps were modest and graceful, and her webbed hands were clasped politely in front of her navel at all times.
She led me to a sliding door tucked in the corner of the bathhouse.
There's a door in a bathhouse?
"This way, please."
She opened the sliding door. Beyond it was a long hallway lined with private rooms on both sides.
So there are private rooms separate from the main bath.
The attendant opened one of the doors and guided me inside. The room contained a shower area, a neatly maintained massage bed, and various bathing supplies arranged in one corner.
"Please lie face down here."
I lay down on the bed as instructed.
"I am Se-jin, an akanameyokai who will be assisting you with your scrubbing and massage today. Please treat me well."
Se-jin introduced herself in an extremely polite tone.
Akaname... I'd heard of them before. They were yokai that mainly lived in Japan. They used their long tongues to lick the walls of bathhouses or people's bodies, eating the filth.
"Then I'll begin with the scrubbing. It might feel a little cold."
A cold, damp sensation touched my back. I flinched in surprise, and she spoke again.
"Was it cold? I'm sorry. You'll get used to it soon."
I lifted my head slightly and saw that her long tongue had emerged from her mouth and was gently stroking my back. The slightly rough texture of her tongue peeled away the grime with every stroke, while her hands pressed firmly into the areas her tongue had passed, giving me a massage. Despite her slender frame, her pressing strength was surprisingly powerful. The way my knotted muscles melted under her touch felt incredibly good. On top of that, the sensation of her webbed fingers rubbing my skin had a soothing effect on the sensitive areas irritated by the scrubbing.
"Does it feel good~?"
"Yes... it feels amazing..."
"You've been working very hard lately, haven't you~? The flavor of your effort is absolutely delicious~"
Her rough tongue meticulously scoured every inch of my body, stripping away the dirt. After a while, Se-jin turned on the shower, filled a basin with warm water, and carefully poured it over my back.
"I've finished your back. Please turn over now."
I rolled over as she asked and stared up at the ceiling. I hadn't been able to see her well while lying face down, but now her figure was clearly visible. Her long hair was tied back, sleeves rolled up, and she used her slender arms to press firmly into my body. The beads of sweat on her forehead and her slightly furrowed brow clearly showed how hard she was working.
Seeing her like this... it looked pretty erotic...?
Looking more closely, the kimono with its sleeves rolled up was wet and clinging tightly to her body. The light color of the fabric made her bare skin faintly visible underneath. Her nipples, visible yet not quite visible, stirred my curiosity. I kept wondering if they'd become more visible if she got a little wetter, and my eyes kept drifting there.
"Oh my?"
The thought I'd tried to keep only in my mind had begun to manifest physically. My shaft had grown hard, proudly announcing its presence.
"Hehe... Then I'll finish by scrubbing this area as well."
She smiled faintly. The tongue that had been licking my calf moved smoothly, heading between my legs. Her soft, squishy tongue slipped beneath my balls. She licked every inch from the underside of my sagging sack, cleaning meticulously between every wrinkle.
"This part always tastes the best~"
Her tongue caressed my soft balls as if kneading them, then slowly moved upward until it reached the shaft. The tongue wrapped around it and moved up and down. The slightly rough texture created a new kind of stimulation that quickly built up the urge to climax.
"Ugh!!"
In the end, I couldn't hold back the surging pleasure and erupted with thick, white semen. Maybe because I'd held it in for so long, an incredible amount gushed out from the tip of my glans. The sticky fluid flowed down the shaft, soaking Se-jin's tongue that was still wrapped around me.
"This part has such a healthy flavor~ You must take good care of it normally. Now then... I've been holding back too, so..."
She slowly slipped out of her clothes. The wet fabric slid down her body, and her breasts bounced out with a delightful jiggle. The pink nipples I'd been so curious about greeted me directly. She lowered the height of the massage bed, climbed on top of me, and smoothly guided my shaft between her legs.
The sound of wet flesh slapping together echoed through the room.
"Aahng!! It tastes just as good from below~"
Beyond her narrow eyes, I could see her lewd gaze. It was as if pure lust was pouring out from between those slits. Her warm, wet insides enveloped my shaft while her long tongue continued to caress me, driving my desire wild.
What followed was no different from any other yokai brothel. The only real difference was that she stayed on top in the cowgirl position, seductively rolling her hips while her tongue licked every inch of my body and stimulated all my sensitive spots. And of course, that felt incredibly good. Her slightly rough tongue swept across my armpits and nipples. If she hadn't controlled her strength perfectly, it might have tickled or even hurt, but her masterful control created an exquisitely pleasurable sensation.
"Aah, I feel so refreshed~"
My body felt incredibly light. After finishing with Se-jin, I received the rest of the massage I hadn't gotten earlier. All the stiffness in my body completely vanished. After that, I took one final soak in the bath. When I finally emerged feeling completely refreshed, changed back into my clothes, and was about to leave, I spotted some banana milk in the fridge.
I used to always drink this after a bath when I was a kid. What a nostalgic feeling...
I paid for the banana milk at the counter, took it out, and drank it.
"Did you enjoy yourself, sir?"
Se-jin, now changed into regular clothes, spoke to me from behind.
"Yes, it was really great. My body feels so light now. Thank you."
"Please visit us again sometime..."
"I definitely will."
I left the bathhouse with a much lighter body, leaving behind Se-jin as she bowed politely.
I stretched luxuriously under the bright sunlight.
Ooh~! My body really does feel amazing...
Creak!!
I heard the door open behind me.
Ah, I should move aside...
"Huu~ That feels so good~"
The moment I stepped aside to let the person pass, I heard a familiar voice.
Huh? That voice...
When I lifted my head, our eyes met, and we both froze on the spot.
Standing right in front of me was Ha Eun-ju, her eyes wide with shock, frozen in an awkward half-crouch.
"Ah... Hello... Section Chief..."
"Uh... um... so..."
She stammered, clearly flustered.
"I-I only took a bath..."
Her voice was barely a whisper.
"Pardon...?"
"Aish! I only took a bath!! I only took a bath, okay?! Just remember it like that!!! If you tell anyone, I'll kill you!!"
Her voice, which had been as quiet as an ant a second ago, suddenly boomed like thunder right next to my ear. It looked like I now had a secret I needed to protect.
