[19] (EP-262.1) Fight Fire With Fire #4

262 – Fight Fire With Fire #4

Mirna’s condition gradually worsened.

As a result, I had to handle all the approaching monster crabs by myself.

“I’ve taken care of them all for now. According to the manual, there is a safe area nearby. Let’s head there. Allow me to escort you, My Lady.”

“… Euu, o-okay.”

I moved Mirna to the shade of a safe area within the nearby ruins. As time passed, I could only watch as her expression grew darker by the minute.

“My, my body won’t move….”

Due to the poison from the Trap-Crab earlier, Mirna was left immobilized and groaning.

Why did you have to act so recklessly?

Honestly, at first, I felt a bit like she got what she deserved. But seeing her struggle like this, I couldn’t help but feel sympathy and pity for her as a fellow human.

“Would you like me to give you a massage to help relieve it?”

To alleviate the stiffness caused by the paralytic poison, it was said nothing would work better than a massage. However, Mirna’s attitude was firm.

“… No!”

“No?”

“How can a gentleman try to touch a lady’s body so freely? Sir Theo, your intentions are too transparent and impure…!”

So it was like this.

I knew Mirna had a strong sense of propriety.

But wasn’t she no longer an innocent maiden who knew nothing? From the way she was acting now, it felt as if the events of her first experience in that dungeon never happened.

She was extremely closed off to anything s£xual.

Thanks to this, I couldn’t give her a massage and could only wait for the night to come so I could make the antidote.

The problem was that there was still a long time before nightfall.

On the other hand, Mirna’s condition was getting worse and worse.

“My… my body won’t move… My chest is starting to feel tight…!”

Mirna complained of difficulty breathing.

The manual stated that the paralysis from the Trap-Crab would only slow down the body. Why she was having trouble breathing was concerning.

Then, it suddenly dawned on me that Mirna might be experiencing a fear or trauma. Didn’t the Draco twins once say they were buried alive in coffins as training?

Because of that, Mirna had come to extremely dislike narrow and dark places. The current situation might be bringing back those memories of when she couldn’t move a muscle, trapped in a cramped and dark space.

‘I see.’

Whenever we entered a dungeon, we always seemed to face crises like this.

“Lady Mirna, I’ll hear your complaints later.”

Seukseuk-.

I took off Mirna’s boots. As her white bare feet were exposed, Mirna blushed, as if she hadn’t just been gasping for air.

“W-What are you doing!?”

“This is a life-saving act.”

Kkuuuk.

I pressed the center of Mirna’s sole with my thumb. She resisted and flailed like a fish out of water.

“S-Stop it…!”

“The massage is working. But your feet are as cold as ice. It might be due to poor blood circulation.”

Kkuuk, kkuuuk.

I massaged Mirna’s feet, calves, and thighs, pressing firmly with my hands. My physical abilities had also been improving recently, so I was quite confident in my grip strength.

“… Hiyak!”

Then Mirna let out a sound like a chick doused in cold water and glared at me. Probably because that was the only thing she could do right now.

Still, being glared at like this wasn’t exactly pleasing.

“I’m going to turn you over.”

I positioned Mirna on her stomach.

I unbuckled her belt, removed her cloak and vest, leaving her in only the most comfortable clothing possible, and pressed down on her waist.

“Uhyat.”

“Does it hurt?”

“I, it doesn’t….”

“It’s a good sign that you’re not completely numb.”

“Still, being on my stomach is a bit uncomfortable. My chest is pressed….”

‘I see’. Although Mirna wasn’t as endowed as Elga, she was gifted in her own right unbounded by clothes, making it uncomfortable to lie on her stomach. It was my oversight.

I turned her back over and diligently massaged her hands and arms. So diligently, in fact, that sweat was dripping down my forehead.

Kkuuk, kkuuuk.

My efforts seemed to be paying off, as Mirna’s breathing gradually returned to normal.

“…….”

Aware of this, Mirna didn’t complain or grumble about me touching her. If she had, it would have been quite tiring.

“Euheuung…, heu.”

However, as the massage continued, her breathing became labored again. She made strange sounds, almost as if she were suffering from heat exhaustion, and she appeared quite distressed.

“Is something wrong?”

“… I don’t know!”

“If you’re having trouble breathing, I’ll take off your pants. We can’t have you suffering from heatstroke.”

“W, wait─!”

Mirna looked like she was about to resist fiercely, but considering her condition from the crab’s venom and my own unharmed state, the power dynamic was clear.

In the end, I removed Mirna’s pants, revealing her white legs and thighs. Pressing them brought an unmistakably soft and elastic feeling to my hands.

Squish, squish.

“Ahh….”

Mirna twisted her legs in embarrassment, probably trying to hide her underwear. I understood.

“Lady Mirna, your underwear is wet.”

She must be trying to hide her wet underwear.

Of course, Mirna was furious.

“Don’t lie…!”

But I wasn’t lying.

In reality, her white underwear was slightly stained with what seemed to be sweat or something else.

Perhaps, it was even from being excited by my touch. Thanks to my ‘Casanova’ job, I could intentionally press on the more erotic pressure points.

It turned out to be better than I had planned, and I was pleasantly surprised. I never realized that having the ‘Casanova’ job would allow me to do something like this.

“Don’t worry. I won’t touch you.”
