Chapter 77: Harmony
Hormones surged, and dopamine stirred restlessly. Every contact between hand and skin felt like an overload of electricity.
Their heavy breathing varied in intensity. In the quiet room, it even sounded like they could hear each other’s heartbeats.
Himekoji Akito took a deep breath, finally managing to just barely rein in his impulse.
……
“Wh-why did you stop?”
Underneath him, Kasumigaoka Utaha gently bit her lip. Her gaze slightly hazy, she asked in a small voice.
“Don’t stop…”
After a while with no move from Akito, the girl twisted her body imperceptibly, urging him on.
“Ah, ah, right.”
Only after steadying himself did Himekoji continue. He placed his hands gently on the girl’s waist.
Blindfolded, her other senses were heightened. The girl’s skin was smooth and delicate, unusually warm to the touch.
The moment Akito’s hands touched her, her body tensed up sharply, instinctively.
The next moment, Kasumigaoka lifted her upper body slightly, as if guided by pure instinct, seemingly wanting his hands to move further forward… further up…
Himekoji seemed to understand, picking up on her silent plea. His hands began tracing circles, gradually moving towards more sensitive areas.
Kasumigaoka’s heartbeat involuntarily grew heavier and faster…
But just as Himekoji was about to touch her, he suddenly withdrew his hands.
It was like being on a rollercoaster, speeding thrillingly towards the top, only to come to a jarring, unplanned stop right before the biggest drop.
Instantly, an empty, hollow feeling welled up inside her, making her want to desperately fill that void with something, anything.
“C-continue…”
The girl’s voice trembled as she spoke.
……
Resisted again!
That was close, Akito thought to himself, realizing he was sweating buckets.
Calm down, calm down, calm down!
No good! Staying calm for a minute is one thing, staying calm all night? Impossible!
At this rate, disaster was bound to strike. So, Himekoji Akito decided a swift resolution was necessary.
Wasn’t there a poem saying something like this—
“To leave purity intact in this world, even if it means resorting to Wind Oil Essence!”
……
Akito held the System-produced upgraded, deluxe, super-potent version of Essential Balm. He dry swallowed, feeling hesitant.
“Akito-kun, hurry…”
The girl beneath him urged restlessly, her body squirming.
Huh, seems Kasumigaoka Utaha had already lost every ounce of reason, fully overtaken by the System’s ‘enhancement’…
[Late at night, the Master of Erotic Massage pairs best with Essential Balm.]
This one time, Himekoji was convinced by the System.
So, with a swift flick of his wrist, Akito decisively poured out the entire bottle of the System’s super-potent Essential Balm in a blink.
Then, big hands applied it!
“Ah… this feeling… harder…”
Whimpers escaped the girl beneath him, coming and going.
Harder?
Alright, harder!
This time, to maximize the balm’s effect, Himekoji poured all his skill into every touch.
Pressing… pushing… kneading… rubbing… pinching… tapping… knuckling… rolling… squeezing… stroking…
All eighteen of his massage techniques took turns.
If he recalled correctly, just two or three drops of the System balm had completely overwhelmed Sensei Hiratsuka back then, right?
Afterwards, the female teacher couldn’t even stand properly, needing a full day off…
And now? What coated Kasumigaoka wasn’t just two or three drops… it was the entire bottle!
Moreover, the balm’s effect was amplified to a terrifying degree under Akito’s expert massage techniques.
……
At some unknowable point, Kasumigaoka felt her body suddenly burning hot. Dizzy and light-headed, she felt as if she’d floated straight up to the clouds.
Every touch of Akito’s hand sent waves of goosebumps rippling uncontrollably across her skin. Her entire body trembled and shook, electrified.
It felt incredibly good, yet almost unbearably uncomfortable. She gasped for air frantically, yet each breath felt like choking.
Her lower body reacted strangely next. Her legs squeezed together of their own accord as shameful moans spilled uncontrollably from her lips, one after another.
“Wh-what… is happening?! What did you do?! Stop it! No more… no more! I can’t take it!”
Just moments ago, she was begging “Don’t stop!” and “Keep going!” But now, her tune had changed completely.
“Whew—”
Himekoji breathed a sigh of relief. The Essential Balm hadn’t disappointed him.
Good. Now, all he needed was for her to say she was “satisfied”.
“Ms. Kasumi, is the Overnight Service satisfactory?”
Akito slowed his motions slightly and asked.
“Haa… Haa… Haa…”
The girl snatched a tiny sliver of breath, a chance to breathe.
As the intense pleasure subsided slightly, her rationality clawed its way back. Immediately, her mouth grew defiant:
“Heh… Heh! Is that all you’ve got, Akito-kun? A man needs more than skilled hands to truly satisfy a woman!”
“Hoh?”
Truly not an ounce of honesty.
Without further fuss, Himekoji Akito located a particularly sensitive pressure point on the girl’s body. Without a word, he pushed down hard with his thumb.
That electric feeling surged back immediately.
After the brief pause, her body was actually even more vulnerable to this renewed wave of sensation.
The skin all over her body seemed to pull taut all at once.
It felt like enormous, burning spheres were igniting deep inside her – scorching, exciting, yet also bringing helplessness and despair. Her body was on fire!
The sheets of the double bed were drenched in an instant.
The unspeakable area below was like a hidden nook after a downpour… a steady trickle, drip-drip-dropping.
A city burned in the flames above the waist; below, waters raged over the golden mountain.
Once again, his body was overwhelmed by this fierce, flood-like pleasure and unease.
“Stop! Hurry up and stop! I’m going to die!”
The girl under him was nearly hysterical.
“Was the overnight service satisfying?”
The one taking action and the one being acted upon suddenly swapped places. Himekoji asked leisurely and unhurriedly.
Remembering how this infuriating little seductress had teased him so relentlessly earlier—a time when he could only admit defeat—now that he finally flipped the situation around, he wanted to reclaim every bit of ground lost.
“Satisfied! Totally satisfied! S-s-so, pl-please stop moving. Hurry… stop.”
The girl’s words were interspersed with several heavy gasps.
[Ding! Congratulations! Quest “Overnight Service” Completed!]
[Ding! Congratulations! Quest “Master of Erotic Massage” Completed!]
[Quest Reward: One Thousand 2D Points!]
[Quest Reward: One Experience Ticket for the Perverse Choice System! (Exclusive to Kasumigaoka Utaha, Duration: 24 hours.)]
…
Got it! Just as expected!
Himekoji clenched his fist slightly in excitement.
The reason he agreed to massage Kasumigaoka in the first place was to complete the “Master of Erotic Massage” quest.
As senior and junior at the same publishing house, Kasumigaoka Utaha had naturally also read Himekoji’s novels.
Amazingly smoothly, the next instant, Himekoji instinctively scanned the quest rewards.
Huh? “Experience Ticket for the Perverse Choice System”? Exclusive to Kasumigaoka Utaha?
Seeing this, Himekoji suddenly froze.
…
“You… Why haven’t you stopped yet?!”
Kasumigaoka Utaha was almost crying! If only her tears hadn’t entirely turned into liquid and flowed out from elsewhere, completely depleting them…
“Ah… Ah, sorry, I forgot.”
Interrupted by the System, Himekoji’s hand was still instinctively kneading over the girl’s body.
“Ah… Ah… Himekoji-sama… I can’t… really can’t take it anymore! Hurry! Hurry up and stop!”
“Mmm— wait, what did you just call me?”
“Mm… Ah… Himekoji-sama…”
“Call me Onii-chan.”
Himekoji suddenly put on a stern, serious face.
This was a rare chance to discipline this little seductress—absolutely no way was he letting it slip by easily!
“Onii-chan!”
Kasumigaoka Utaha cared about nothing else right now. Himekoji told her to call him that, so without even thinking, she immediately did.
“Call me again.”
“Onii-chan! Onii-chan! Ah… I’m dying… Good Onii-chan, save me!”
“So obedient.”
Himekoji smiled, but gradually increased the strength in his hands.
“Onii-chan… Onii-chan… Ah!!!—”
The screams and moans that had started in the room at some point and never ceased came to an abrupt end.
The girl’s eyes rolled back, entirely satisfied until she fainted.
