Chapter 79

"Kuna, are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm... fine now. But, I feel a bit dizzy and strange."

It was late at night, and we finally made it to the dormitory.

Kuna and I quickly returned to our room, prepared for the acupuncture treatment, and gathered in my room.

I refined the needles, and Kuna changed into a thin, easy-to-remove nightgown.

Kuna says she's fine, but her fever has risen even higher, and she's slurring her words. We need to treat her quickly.

"I'll start the treatment right away. The cause of Kuna's condition is the excessive magic power that has stagnated inside her. This time, I'll extract the excess magic power and adjust the magic power circulation to prevent it from happening again."

"...Okay, Sōji-kun. I'll leave it to you."

Kuna looks as if she's floating in a fever, with a strange allure.

"Hey, Sōji-kun."

Then she leaned against me.

I feel like I'm being drawn in by Kuna's softness and warmth.

"My body... is hot."

Kuna said that and suddenly pushed me down onto the bed. Kuna straddled me and looked down at me with a drowsy, seductive gaze. Yet, there was a predatory intensity in her eyes.

"I want Sōji-kun."

Her eyes were moist, her cheeks flushed.

A sweet, sweet scent.

I feel like Kuna's bicuspids are sharper than usual.

Kuna's face slowly approaches mine, as if trying to devour my lips.

"Delicious."

The distance between Kuna and me was about to become zero.

"Ouch!"

However, Kuna pressed her forehead and sat up.

It was because I gave her a light punch on the forehead just before our lips touched.

"What are you doing, Sōji-kun!"

The Kuna there was the usual Kuna.

The strange allure was gone.

"Kuna, you were about to do something crazy. Pushing a guy down and forcibly taking his lips is what a pervert would do."

"What's a pervert?"

"Just as it sounds. Besides, you're straddling me right now. If Cyril saw this, she'd cry, you know?"

"Wh-What? Kyaa, why am I like this?"

Kuna hurriedly jumped off me and sat on the bed, legs tightly pressed together, her face red with embarrassment.

"Kuna, show me your face."

"Sōji-kun, what are you doing all of a sudden!?"

"It's serious. Show me right now."

I held Kuna's chin without giving her a chance to refuse and carefully examined her lips.

...As expected.

There are remnants of a magic spell. I could smell the magic power when she tried to take my lips just now.

The spell is for magic power absorption.

Probably, at that time, Kuna was trying to absorb my magic power by making mucous membranes touch, the easiest way to absorb magic power while her body was suffering from excessive magic power. Despite the fact that seeking more magic power while already suffering from excessive magic power is suicidal.

"Kuna, I'll explain the current situation. There are remnants of a magic power absorption spell on your lips. Kuna tried to push me down and absorb my magic power through mucous membrane contact."

Upon hearing my words, Kuna's face turned pale.

"I didn't try to do such a thing..."

"Of course not. I don't think Kuna would do that on her own will."

I comforted Kuna.

I know Kuna well. She couldn't do something like this.

"I... I..."

"You don't need to blame yourself. It's probably due to the magic power accumulated in Kuna's body. I thought something was off during the day. It's not just magic power, but refined and altered magic power. It's almost in a state where it can be called a spell. So, it's not surprising that Kuna became strange."

"...So, it came to this. But, if we can remove that magic power..."

"Kuna should be able to return to normal."

I stated this firmly.

It's a good thing it was me this time, but if she had lost herself in front of another man, it would be terrifying.

"Let's remove the magic power quickly."

"Yes! I'm scared of my current self. I want to get better quickly."

Kuna hugged herself tightly, looking anxious.

Then, she looked up at me with a worried face.

"...Sōji-kun, can I ask you one thing? Why did you reject my lips? You always say you like me. Didn't you think it was lucky and consider going further, like kissing or... you know?"

I smiled and playfully flicked her forehead.

"Ouch!?"

"Because Kuna said something silly."

"I'm not saying anything silly. I thought maybe Sōji-kun doesn't really like me..."

Kuna pouted with teary eyes.

I sighed lightly.

There's no need for such worries.

"I want to kiss Kuna. I want to go further, of course. I wanted to accept it. But, I want to be with Kuna forever. Until death. If I kissed Kuna while she was out of her mind, I'd regret it every time we kissed, remembering the first kiss was like that. I plan to kiss Kuna tens of thousands of times. I don't want that."

Upon hearing this, Kuna covered her mouth and giggled.

"What's so funny about that reason?"

"I want my first kiss to be a beautiful memory. Something that makes me happy every time I remember it. I think it's a very natural wish."

"Of course, Sōji-kun is weird. But, it's like him."

"Are you in love with me?"

"That's a secret."

Kuna put her finger to her lips and said that.

As always, Kuna is cute.

"Our plans are off, but let's start right away."

"Yes, Sōji-kun."

Kuna took off her thin nightgown and became naked. We've done this a few times during magic circuit treatments, but she seems more relaxed this time.

She lay down on the bed.

Though she's still shy, I can see her trust in me.

"Kuna, you're beautiful."

"Don't say such things so casually."

Kuna turned her face away.

Kuna's body is erotic.

Her chest is a nice size, around D to E cups. It's well-endowed and full of feminine charm.

Yet, it's well-toned.

Her buttocks are well-shaped, suggesting she would bear good children.

Despite such an erotic body, there's no hair in important places, which makes it even more erotic.

I skillfully inserted the needles one after another.

I know the acupoints from repeated treatments.

I thoroughly enjoyed the sensation of Kuna's inner thighs and chest, which is necessary for the treatment. If her legs aren't spread wide enough, the needles might bend, and if her chest isn't lifted, the needles can't be inserted.

Lifting Kuna's chest, I felt its heavy weight.

"Sōji-kun, your hands are... naughty."

"It's just your imagination. I didn't do anything unnecessary."

Without being greedy, only the necessary minimum.

That's the minimum respect when touching her body.

"Ah, it still feels strange."

Stimulating the acupoints, Kuna's magic power and body cells become active. Her body heats up.

It's a healthy heat, different from before.

"My body is sensitive, and Sōji-kun's touch feels so... lingering."

Once this happens, Kuna's sensitivity skyrockets.

Every time I touch her, she writhes and breathes heavily.

Her beautiful, pink nipples stand erect, and I have to resist the urge to bite them.

"I've finished inserting the needles. Now, I'll adjust the magic circuit."

I started by flowing my magic power from the needles.

I checked the state of the magic circuit.

"Ah, Sōji-kun's magic is running wild inside me, making me feel strange."

Kuna let out a hot breath.

Kuna is steadily eroding my rationality gauge.

"Is there any abnormality in the circuit?"

Indeed, the magic circuit is perfectly healthy. There's no problem at all. Then, the cause of the excessive magic power accumulation is the abnormal transformation of magic power.

It's only natural. I spent time adjusting the magic circuit.

It's not easy for it to malfunction.

When a magic knot forms, in nine out of ten cases, it's due to a problem with the magic circuit, but Kuna is different.

"Kuna, this time I'll flow strong magic power. The transformed magic power causing trouble inside Kuna. I'll push it out through the exit created by the needles using my magic power."

"Bu-But, Sōji-kun, if you do it suddenly, Kuna will..."

Before Kuna finished speaking, I strongly flowed my magic power.

"Ah, it's so strong, Sōji-kun is making me... crazy."

Kuna's back arched like a bow, and her body trembled.

However...

"Can't push out Kuna's magic power?"

Indeed, the transformed magic power in Kuna's body slips through my magic power.

Only the magic power I flowed out through the needles.

I had predicted this to some extent from the earlier incident, but it seems even acupuncture treatment won't work.

"Bu-But, Sōji-kun, if you do more, Kuna will break..."

I was so lost in thought that I kept flowing magic power into Kuna.

Kuna trembled from the tips of her fox ears to the tip of her tail, and then she went limp.

...I overdid it.

"Kuna, I'm sorry. I did all this, but it was completely useless."

While Kuna's consciousness was hazy, I pulled out the needles and apologized.

"Ha, ha, ha, is that so? If this is useless..."

Thanks to that, I didn't get scolded.

But, what should I do?

How can I save Kuna?

I thought hard.

Then, I found a solution.

If it can't be naturally expelled, I'll forcibly absorb it. Kuna just showed me a magic absorption spell. I'll use that.

"Relax. I'll use another method to extract the magic power."

I closed my eyes and reconstructed Kuna's spell in my mind.

I divided it into methods, searched the database for the most efficient parts, and made partial improvements.

Then, I coated and optimized the whole thing.

I completed a more advanced magic absorption spell tailored to me.

"Let me try it out."

I placed my hand on Kuna's cheek and absorbed her magic power.

I only absorbed the transformed magic power.

I felt strong resistance, but I managed to absorb the transformed magic power.

"This is..."

The moment I absorbed Kuna's magic power, I felt a heavy sensation, and my body heated up.

This is a transformation-type spell. ...I can't analyze it in detail, but I recognized that the magic power itself has a strong will and is trying to change me.

Kuna was enduring such a thing.

"Sōji-kun, this feels good. I feel a bit better."

"That's good to hear."

But, I can't absorb much.

The efficiency is too low. If I continue like this, my magic power will run out before I can absorb enough transformed magic power.

"Kuna, I'm using a magic spell to absorb the bad magic power inside you, but skin contact is inefficient. I'll run out of magic power before I can absorb much."

I honestly explained the current situation.

If Kuna herself recognizes the absorbed magic power and uses it, there would be no problem, but with this level of transformation, it's not manageable.

A specialized spell like the [Emblem Exterior] that wraps in miasma is needed.

In my case, unlike Kuna, I can wrap it in my own magic power to prevent harm, but that's a high-level technique and difficult for Kuna.

"Sōji-kun, you don't have to push yourself. Thanks to you, I feel better. This is enough."

Kuna smiled, but it was a forced smile. I can't ignore such a Kuna.

This is like pouring water on a burning stone. I need to improve the efficiency.

"...If we use mucous membrane contact, the efficiency will skyrocket."

That's why Kuna tried to push me down and absorb magic power through her lips.

It's the most suitable for absorbing magic power.

...Or sex.

"Does that mean... you know, that kind of thing? ...To help me, and if it makes Sōji-kun happy, ...it's okay."

Kuna looked a bit sad.

"Is that so, but I won't do that."

"Huh?"

Kuna's expression suddenly became silly.

"I said it before. I want the first kiss and the first time to be the best memories. Something we both agree on and remember for life. A first kiss done out of necessity, like a disease treatment, I absolutely won't accept!"

Yes, the kiss with the world's most beloved Kuna. It has to be the best for me to accept it.

"Are you stupid, Sōji-kun?"

"I am. Especially when it comes to Kuna. ...So, I thought of another method. Increase the contact surface area to forcibly improve efficiency. The skin is less efficient than mucous membranes, but touching all over the body can compensate."

"Does that mean..."

"Being naked and hugging each other."

"Wh-Wh-What? That's... embarrassing too!"

"But, since we can't use mucous membranes, this is the only way. I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive my inadequacy."

I clenched my teeth and said with a hint of regret.

Kuna, seeing my expression, must have realized there was no other way.

"...If there's really no other way, it's okay. But, don't misunderstand. I'm only doing this for Sōji-kun. Not for anyone else. Even if it's for treatment, I wouldn't want to do it with anyone else."

"Thank you. I'm glad. I want to help Kuna no matter what."

"You care about me so much..."

"Yes, and I can't stand the thought of you doing something like trying to absorb magic power from another man. I want to cure you properly here."

I took off my clothes, and Kuna smiled, wrapping her arms around my neck and pulling me closer.

Kuna's skin and mine touched perfectly.

"I don't like it either. Losing my mind and kissing someone I don't like..."

"Thank you for trusting me."

"You're welcome. You're working hard for me."

The first time I felt Kuna's skin.

It's smooth and feels like it's sucking me in. There's a slightly firm sensation on her stomach.

And, as if she trusted me, Kuna's tail is rubbing against my leg. It feels good.

It's incredibly comfortable.

"Sometime, I'll definitely find a fundamental solution. Until then, I'm sorry, but we'll have to do this regularly based on the situation."

"I'm sorry for the trouble."

"It's not a trouble at all. It's a perk, after all."

Hugging Kuna naked is the best.

"...Sōji-kun, just to confirm, can you hold back? In this situation, you know, the perverted Sōji-kun?"

"Kuna trusts me. I won't betray that trust. That's my love for Kuna."

"I understand. I trust you... But, if it's Sōji-kun. No, never mind."

As she said, Kuna closed her eyes and clung to me.

She trusted me so much that she fell asleep without any defenses. She must have been at her limit. She must have been suffering a lot.

"Let's absorb as much as my magic power can hold."

I intertwined my legs to increase the contact surface area.

Then, I absorbed the transformed magic power from the skin that touched Kuna.

The transformed magic power flowed into me more and more.

I suppressed the transformed magic power while thoroughly analyzing the absorbed magic power to find a fundamental solution. ...I also wanted to know what this transformed magic power aims to do and what it wants to turn Kuna into.

My magic power ran out, and the absorption stopped.

This much should be enough for Kuna.

There's no reason to keep hugging.

But, I didn't want to let go of Kuna, so I held her and fell asleep.
