Chapter 78 – BAD TASTE(8)
“Elsie. Can you help me?”
Elsie opened her eyes to the sound of her calling her. It was Aira, one of the maids of this mansion, who she had been looking for since morning. According to rumors she had heard, she was originally a child who she used to steal, but she was influenced by the lord and now she is working as a prospective nun of Daecheon Shinkyo and a maid of the mansion.
She was carrying a load of her Several small flower pots were placed in her hallway of her, and among them were too heavy and huge for Aira to lift. Elsie didn’t understand how humans grow pots like this. Why did she grow a potted plant that she could neither eat nor talk to?
Ira said, pointing to her potted plant the size of her torso her.
“Please move this.”
“Yes. It looks heavy, so I will help you.”
She is a very heavy planter to normal humans, but she was like lifting a dumbbell to Elsie. She lightly lifted her flower pot and placed it in her yard her. Ira said to Elsie.
“Thank you. It was difficult because it was too heavy.”
“This much is nothing. If you want to ask a favor next time, feel free to tell me.”
Ira nodded her head and glanced at Elsie. Still wearing a high-profile navel tee and hot pants, the gaze of the people inside the mansion was dizzy. Not many people feel sexual desire for beastmen, but still, the unfamiliar clothes made people feel embarrassed. It was the same as if people were embarrassed to go around exposing their erect genitals even if they did not have sexual desire for monkeys.
Elsie asked as Ira stared at her.
“If you have something to say, do it quickly.”
“No. I don’t have anything to say, that… Elsie is very strong.”
“We are all this strong. I am rather amazed that humans are so weak. They defeat us in war, but ordinary people are weaker than us.”
“I will. I also need to get stronger quickly…”
“If you train, I will help you.”
“No. First of all, our lord gives him a… Massage, and he says that receiving it makes his body stronger.”
“Massage? What is it?”
“The body is massaged just like this to relax the muscles, and at the end, the lord directly injects the force into the body.”
“Are you pouring your power into it? That sounds strange. Being strong that way is only temporary. You shouldn’t trust wizards or magic. The same applies to the magic of priests.”
“Ah, but I’ll give it a try. My lord’s wife said she gets that massage every day.”
“The lord’s wife? Oh, you mean the mermaid?”
“Yes, yes. It’s him. He took it every day, and he became very strong.”
“I see, I understand.”
Elsie just skipped over the story. He thought it was nonsense that a massage could make you stronger. This was a very reasonable and logical idea. For the beastmen, strength was all about physical training. Magic was nothing more than a dazzling technique that interfered with physical training and a despicable forbidden technique. That’s why Elsie hated wizards very much.
After a few days, Elsie was able to find Ira knocking on her door. She said Ira.
“Elsie! Look at me! Please come and see me for a second!”
Elsie lazily leaned back on the sofa and then got up. I wondered what the hell was going on in the morning. When I followed Aira outside, Ira was standing in front of the flower pot that was moved a few days ago. Said Elsie.
“Did the priest ask me to move again? I…”
Ira stopped Elsie from reaching out and pointed to the potted plant with a forceful face. Aira’s expression was somehow very excited.
“Hey, look at Elsie. The power of massage!”
After saying that, Ira held on to both ends of the flowerpot and took a deep breath. Elsie said in case Ira gets hurt.
“Stop it. And if you get hurt…”
“Uracha!”
Elsie had no choice but to keep her mouth shut. It was because Aira raised the flower pot with a vigorous cheer. Elsie knew the weight of the pot because she had heard it herself. That potted plant was not a weight that an ordinary human woman could lift with such great strength. Ira lifted the planter up to her head and then slowly put it back down. Aira smiled as she kneaded her waist slightly.
“How is it? Massage is great, isn’t it?”
Elsie couldn’t believe the effect even after seeing it with her own two eyes. Aira gave a thumbs up to Lucius, who was watching the situation from afar, and grinned. In the meantime, Elsie had picked up the flowerpot herself and looked around to see if the weight of the flowerpot had become lighter.
But the weight stayed the same. A heavy feeling still wrapped around Elsie’s hand her.
“It’s amazing. You’ve gotten so strong in just a few days.”
After thinking for a while, Elsie went upstairs. As soon as she saw Eve walking down the aisle, Elsie said.
“Request sparring.”
“What? Dalian?”
Eve reacted indifferently when Elsie suddenly asked for sparring. She said.
“Couldn’t it be sometime later, I’m busy right now.”
Eve said, showing the documents in her hand her. Elsie nodded and replied.
“Then I’ll wait outside, so hurry up and come out. I want to fight.”
Compared to beastmen, mermaids were physically weak. Most mermaids couldn’t even walk, and they even acted lethargic on land. So, Elsie wondered just how strong Eve was. Unlike humans, whose strength can be known at a cursory glance, it was difficult to judge mermaids because they had never fought properly.
Elsie was out in the yard of the mansion, kicking stones and waiting. Selu, who was swimming in the edge pool, asked Elsie.
“What are you doing?”
“I requested sparring. To that… Mrs. Baeta?”
“Mrs. Peta. Her name is Eve.”
Elsie pondered for a moment, then looked at Sellu and asked.
“Mermaid. Do you know about massage?”
Selu twitched the corners of his mouth at those words, then managed to catch his breath before speaking.
“Uh…Um…Yes…Yes, I know. Massage. It’s very effective! Our Eve…Fufu… Got it…And got…Strong!”
Elsie knew that Selou always smirked, so she didn’t find it strange when she said it while laughing. Elsie heard that and nodded her head again. Apparently, even among mermaids, Lucius’ massage seemed to have a reputation.
After a while, Eve came out wearing a light outfit, not the dress she usually wore. Eve walked out leisurely, holding a curved sword in one of her hands. She said to Elsie.
“Hey, don’t I treat you like my husband?”
Eve looked oddly displeased. She thought it was because Elsie looked down on herself. So she responded lightly to Eve’s provocation of her.
“Don’t look at it. Even the clergy didn’t look at it. Do your best. I will do my best too.”
Eve looked even worse as her Elsie brushed off her own taunts in her graveness her. She said, pointing at Elsie’s head her with her curved sword.
“Fuck it, hurry up. I’m busy.”
As soon as the words were finished, Elsie jumped at Eve. Using her previous defeat her as a lesson, she charged Eve at full speed from the start, hoping to finish it quickly this time. Even as Eve was surprised by Elsie’s faster speed her than she expected, she swung her curved sword wide to narrow the angle of Elsie’s approach her.
Avoiding the place where the white trail was drawn, Elsie approached Eve. Elsie’s eyes saw her Eve’s stomach her was empty. Elsie bared her sharp claws, and she stretched out her hand to Eve.
“Where!”
Eve narrowly escaped Elsie’s grasp of her. Her shirt was ripped open, exposing her underwear and bare skin. Elsie quickly lowered her body to get her stance her, then bounced back like a spring in her body her and lunged at Eve. Eve stuck a curved sword into her floor and scratched the floor, raising dust. Elsie, blinded by the sudden action of her, stepped behind her.
Elsie looked around her, her face clear of her nervousness. Eve’s fighting sense was considerable. Her composure was in her her, as if she had killed her people countless times, crossing her line of fire. The moment Elsie tore her Eve’s clothes off, she thought she would be embarrassed.
A curved sword flew out of the dust. Elsie dodged her curve and ran in that direction. Looking at the direction or speed she was flying, she could definitely catch the gap if she went in now. Elsie’s hand her shredded the dust.
“I got you, you fucking kitty!”
But there was nothing there. Beside Elsie, she saw a curved sword flying through the air. Eve was poised in Elsie’s square her. After covering his vision of her with dust, he threw away only the curved sword and quickly moved to another place. The moment Elsie floated in her air her, Eve snatched her her Elsie her out of her air and pressed her to the floor.
“Kuh…!”
Elsie struggled, her face buried in the dirt. But she couldn’t defeat Eve with her brawn her. Eve said, baring her sharp teeth. Her satisfaction with her with her victory with her made her feel good.
“Did I win?”
“…I will admit defeat.”
2 losses here. Elsie was confused by the result of not fitting in as a prisoner of the Marimba tribe. Eve roughly mended her torn clothes and picked up the curved sword that had fallen to the floor. Elsie asked Eve, raising her body her from her floor her.
“Is your strength because of that massage?”
“Huh? Uhh…Uh. Right. Massage. My husband’s excellent massage every day…Every day…He…Received…My body…Great. ..Become healthy.. .That…”
Eve complimented her on the massage, twitching the corners of her mouth her. Sellu, who was watching Dalian in the pool, also slammed her face into the water and was bubbling. It was evident that she was laughing seriously as her shoulders and her shook.
“If my husband gets a massage… In training… It’s also… Helpful… Is that so?”
Eve kept trying to keep the corners of her mouth her in her mouth her, her face flushed red. To Elsie, her expression her looked like she was trying to suppress the corners of her mouth her, which naturally rose as she recalled the blissful feeling of her massage her.
“I see. Is it such a great massage?”
“Uh, uh. That’s right. The massage is the best. The best! The fucking best!”
Eve, who had raised her tension to the fullest and fired the best in the air, suddenly lost her laugh completely, scratched her head, and threw the curved sword to the floor, letting her sigh.
“…Fuck mother.”
“There’s nothing Eve can’t say.”
Shelu puffed out her cheeks and challenged Eve, and Eve spoke again.
“…Fuck Abbie.”
“Right.”
Selu praised her Eve. Elsie started thinking about her massage again.
