Chapter 50

After the sports festival.

"A little tired, huh?"

"Yeah."

Yugen and Ailisa were in Yugen's apartment.

The route from the stadium to Ailisa's house passed by Yugen's apartment.

Since it was on the way, Yugen invited her to rest in his room for a while before going home.

Ailisa readily accepted the offer.

"Just a little run... I don't know why, but I'm tired."

He had only run about two hundred meters, yet Yugen felt a bit fatigued.

He knew the reason.

He had run a bit too seriously.

He must have exerted more effort than usual because he was happy to see Ailisa waving at him.

It was a bit embarrassing, even to himself.

"By the way, Ailisa... you waved at me, right?"

"Ah, yes. ...Should I not have?"

"No, I was happy."

Yugen felt a bit relieved to confirm that Ailisa had waved at him.

If she had waved at someone else, or at the whole class, including him...

He might have felt a bit jealous.

(No, that's not right. We're not even dating.)

Yugen forcibly suppressed his strange possessiveness and jealousy.

"Yugen, did you cheer for me too?"

"Yeah, you did great."

Yugen had indeed watched Ailisa run closely.

He didn't wave because he didn't want to be teased by Soichiro and the others.

"Well... you must be tired too. Why don't you rest a bit? I'll make some coffee."

"Sure, thank you."

Yugen went to the kitchen to prepare the coffee.

This time, there were no snacks, and since he was a bit tired too, he added milk and sugar to his own cup.

When he returned to the living room with the coffee...

"Hmm..."

Ailisa was lazily turning her neck and rubbing her shoulder with her fist.

"Ailisa, I made some coffee."

"Ah... thank you."

Ailisa took the cup from Yugen, blew on the coffee to cool it down, and pressed it to her pink lips.

After taking a couple of sips, she placed the cup on the table and sighed in relief.

Then she turned her neck again.

"Ailisa?"

"What is it?"

"Is your shoulder stiff?"

"Huh?"

Ailisa's reaction seemed to ask, "How did you know?"

"Sorry, was it obvious?"

"Well, yeah... Do you get stiff easily?"

When Yugen asked, Ailisa nodded slightly and answered while touching her shoulder.

"I tend to get stiff, especially after exercise or long study sessions. ...Maybe it's because of my posture?"

"I don't think your posture is that bad."

Yugen didn't point it out, but the answer was clear.

Yugen's gaze shifted to Ailisa's well-endowed chest.

She was wearing a tracksuit, but the front zipper was open.

Through the thin gym uniform, it looked even larger than usual.

With such a weight on her chest, it's no wonder her shoulders were stiff.

"If you want... I can give you a massage."

Yugen said this casually but regretted it immediately.

(No... but would she mind a guy touching her shoulders? I hope she doesn't take it the wrong way...)

He was a bit worried that Ailisa might be uncomfortable, but his concern was unfounded.

"Is that okay?"

"Well, if it hurts... I might not be very good at it."

"...Then I'll take you up on your offer."

Ailisa said this and took off her tracksuit, turning her back to Yugen and presenting her small shoulders.

"Let me know if it hurts or feels strange."

Yugen placed his palms on Ailisa's shoulders.

He could feel how slender she was, but it wasn't because she lacked muscle.

Her soft, feminine softness was evident when he touched her.

"I'm going to press."

Yugen said this and pressed his thumbs into Ailisa's shoulders.

He felt more resistance than he expected, indicating that her muscles were tense.

"Ah..."

Ailisa let out a somewhat sultry sound.

The warmth and softness of her skin were transmitted through his palms.

And there was a faint, sweet, slightly sweaty scent.

"You can press a bit harder."

"Okay, got it."

"Ahn... that's good... Ah..."

Just massaging her shoulders made Yugen feel a bit strange.

Her white nape was particularly distracting.

The thought of touching the soft flesh with his fingers made his body heat up.

When he shifted his gaze slightly forward from her shoulders...

He saw Ailisa's white legs.

She was sitting in a way that some call "duck sitting" or "girl sitting," with her legs stretched out from under her gym uniform.

They looked very soft to the touch.

"Ah... ah... haa... ahn..."

"Ailisa, do you want me to massage any other areas besides your shoulders?"

Yugen asked this to distract himself.

Ailisa answered in a somewhat sultry voice.

"Sure... ah... my neck and the base of my shoulders, please."

"Got it."

Yugen reached out to Ailisa's white neck.

As he did...

"Ahn!"

Yugen's heart skipped a beat.

"What's wrong?"

"S-Sorry, it was a bit ticklish."

"Ah, I see."

Yugen applied more pressure, gently and gradually, to relieve the stiffness.

Each time he pressed, Ailisa let out a sound that was either ticklish or pleasurable.

Yugen continued massaging Ailisa, thinking of a pet dog, trying to maintain a professional attitude.

He massaged for about fifteen minutes.

"Ah... that's better."

When Yugen stopped, Ailisa stretched and rotated her shoulders.

Then she turned around.

"Thank you. My shoulders feel much lighter... Would you like me to massage you as a thank you?"

It was a generous offer.

Yugen was a bit stiff too, but not as much as Ailisa.

He wanted to take her up on it...

But he wasn't in the right state of mind.

"I'm fine. Actually, I need to use the bathroom."

"Okay. I'm sorry for keeping you."

Fortunately, Ailisa didn't seem to question Yugen as he headed to the bathroom, slightly hunched over.

"Phew..."

Yugen let out a deep sigh.

It took him a few minutes to calm down.

This time, it was the shoulder course.

If there's a next time, it will probably be the leg course. The full-body massage (meaningful) will come after that.

Current Dere Level: 25%

We've reached the stage where a bit of body contact, like touching the shoulders, is not a problem and is even welcome.

The thought of a married life with Yugen is starting to flash through her mind.
