With the busy holidays over, classes have once again resumed . It was morning, and a lot of my classmates were wearing long faces .
I feel you . The morning after a long holiday is always depressing . But this school, especially our S class’s homeroom teacher wasn’t going to make it easy .
As soon as the door opened, tension filled the air . The look on her eyes was harsher than usual .
Elnsensei was a mysterious make-up-wearing lady in her mid-twenties . She had a lovely face and nicely toned figure with great proportions — the latter a product of her days as a mercenary . If only she were more gentle and caring, I was certain she’d be more popular .
「I was expecting to see those sorry-looking faces . Class, you’re out . Once your skin gets too loose and flabby, getting it back to normal won’t be easy . All of you, go outside and give me twenty laps . 」
Oh, dear . She was as rigid and strict as usual which just made us all the more depressed . She would definitely add more laps if we complained so with heavy hearts, we simply proceeded to the school grounds .
After running twenty laps with all I got, I finished third .
「You’re elite soldiers . 」she said .
The students who finished in the top three were to receive a prize from Elnsensei .
「Great job . Keep it up . 」Elnsensei said as she gave me head pats .
All she did was pat my head . I suppose this is her way of giving rewards . Some ass-grinding would have been preferable .
「By the way, how’s your exam going?」
「We’re doing okay . 」
「I find it unlikely, but are you really fighting the dragon?」
「Yes . Can you tell me something about it?」
I saw the opportunity to ask but she just shook her head . Apparently she couldn’t share information about the monsters to students . Of course she couldn’t .
「Personally, I think you shouldn’t go for the dragon . I’m sure with your abilities you can hunt down the other two monsters and get the top spot . 」
「If it’s too dangerous, we’ll do that . 」
「Please don’t make the wrong decision . There are many things far more important than some exam results . That includes you and your friends’ lives . 」
「Thank you for the advice . We’ll try not to go overboard . 」I said, but Elnsensei looked like she wasn’t entirely convinced .
She must be worried . I do look like someone who’d screw up and get eaten .
My blood flow got better from all the running and I was able to focus on my classes for the rest of the day . So did the other students . Maybe this was Sensei’s plan all along .
Classes were over and I was getting ready to go home when Marisan approached me . She told me about her exam and how she was feeling better . Then we talked about random stuff . After about ten minutes, her eyes seemed to soften .
「I still haven’t repaid you for what you did for me . If there’s anything I can help you with, please tell me . 」
「You became friends with me . You’ve done more than enough . 」
「I won’t be at ease unless I do something . Is there anything you want me to do? Then again, there really isn’t a lot I can do in the first place . 」
She was starting to feel down so I had to think of something .
「Oh, in that case…」
I was struck with an idea and whispered it to her .
「Are you sure that’s all you want? I’m ready, any time!」
「Then let’s wait for the rest of the students to go home . 」 .
Students trailed away from the classroom one by one until there were only the two of us left . And then we began . She stood in front of me . She was wearing a white-themed attire, so clean and pure . I could feel my heart beating faster .
「Are you ready?」
「Any time . 」
Maria carefully embraced me, arms wrapping around my back . Huwaaa . I almost let out a strange sound . A hug from someone with a body so refined and elegant was intensely stimulating . I don’t think I can take any more of this . I got the LP so I backed away .
「How does this help you?」
「This might sound strange, but doing this makes me stronger . I swear I don’t have any ulterior motives . 」
「Of course! I understand . It’s for your own good . So here’s one more!」
「Aaahhh…」
She embraced me all of a sudden, I couldn’t stop myself from letting out a weird sound .
「M-M-Marisan . You need to give it some time before the next one or it wouldn’t work . 」
「All right . We’ll just do it from time to time then . Should we keep this a secret from the others?」
「Yes, please . 」
「Fufu… Roger that . 」
If people found out about this, I would surely incur the wrath of all the guys . Anyway, I was just happy I found myself a new source of LP . Still, I wondered how to describe my relationship with Maria .
If I had to give it a title, “Secret Rendezvous with a Young Lady” would be appropriate I think . Yup, I’m an idiot .
The usual team decided not to party up for now . In the meantime, we each gathered information about the dragon .
After parting with Marisan, I went to the guild to see Laursan . She told me to come if I had the time .
「Hello . Working hard today too, I see . 」
「I could say the same to you, Noir-san . You’re doing great juggling both school and being an adventurer . You’re here for what I told you last time, right? Actually I wanted to give you something . 」
She looked around warily before rummaging under her clothes for something . What’s she doing?
She took out a rectangular-shaped parchment and handed it to me .
「Don’t tell anyone else, but I kept that in my cleavage . 」
「N-No wonder it’s warm!」
「Ufufu… it’s your exclusive coupon after all . 」
It read: ‘For Noir-san’s use only . Whole Body Massage . (※This one entitles you for your own massage . As for you massaging me, that’ll have to wait till next time . ☆) .
「I’ll explain in detail . 」
「You don’t have to . I completely understand!」
「That saves us some time . Do you want to use it now?」
No way . Not here where there’s a lot of people… I realized I was thinking about something indecent . There was absolutely nothing wrong with getting a shoulder massage . In fact, that was proper and reasonable . But Laursan was one, no five steps ahead . Another receptionist arrived .
「Laura, as promised, you may take a break」she said .
I was certain this was all planned, but she insisted that it was a complete coincidence .
「I have some free time now . How about we head into that room? It’s vacant . 」
And so I was now locked up inside a room with Laursan .
「I don’t know about this… What if someone enters?」
「Don’t worry . No one’s coming in here today . 」
Very meticulous . Cunning, even . I wouldn’t want her as an enemy .
「Come on, now . Don’t be shy . It’s for your LP . 」
「So you’re gonna massage my stiff shoulders or something?」
「I would recommend the ‘Just leave it to Laura’ course . 」
「All right, then . Let’s go with that . 」
It felt like I had no other option . In fact, I don’t think she had anything else in mind . But I found out that I made the right choice . She diligently worked on my muscles, trying her best to relieve me of my fatigue .
She worked from the shoulders down to my back . The foot massage was especially exquisite . According to her, she practices it every day by massaging her mother’s foot .
「Giving out quests isn’t the only job of a receptionist . They also support adventurers, to give them more energy, so they can do their best while out on their jobs . Of course, this kind of service is only for you since you have an exclusive coupon . 」
「Quests can be taxing for adventurers sometimes but I guess receptionists have it rougher, huh?」I said .
「True that! Like trying not to talk to a vulgar adventurer, enduring your rival’s harassments, listening to your boss complain about family matters . 」
「But I would be happy if you come for quests regularly . There, all done!」
My body felt wonderful after receiving her ‘Just leave it to Laura’ massage course . I felt so relaxed and comfortable .
「Just keep doing your best and I’ll give you more coupons . 」
「I’m getting excited . 」
「Right? Look forward to it!」
With my fatigue gone, I left the guild fully invigorated .
