Ugh, I'm so screwed.
I was trying so hard to be there for you.

　I went back to my room at the inn and expressed my regret to Toya, who was lying on the bed complaining.

　The minor burns have already been completely healed by Haruka's hands, and the [magic barrier] has been successfully obtained. What could she possibly have to complain about?

"Is it my imagination that I felt like I was attacked with joy?
It was my imagination. --I got bored a few times.
Hey!

　I can't say that I didn't feel the need to return the favor after being beaten up the first few times. But after that, it was just work.

"It takes a lot of nerve to keep using magic without getting hurt, you know?　If you use it normally, your legs will be blown off.
.........
You could say it would have been better if Toya had learned sooner.
I don't blame her. I didn't even know what magic was.
If you can remember it, then you can grasp it, right?
You got it, or rather, ...... you got it!

　You're being vague, man.
　I'm sure you're fine with that, because you're successful with it. .......

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

　I stood up, took out the tree branch I brought back and slapped Toya's ass.

Ouch!　What? You want to continue training?　You've already achieved a lot today, haven't you?
You can say that after seeing Haruka and the others?
I'm going to ...... do my best.

　In the time it took for Haruka and Natsuki to learn the Iron Wall and Toya to learn the Magic Barrier, they were both able to use the Magic Barrier, Iron Wall, and Muscle Strengthening.

　Yuki also quickly learned 【Magic Barrier】 by copying it from Haruka.
　In other words, Toya is the only one who hasn't learned [Iron Barrier] and [Strengthening].

The reason they learned it so easily is because they have a grasp of magic power?
That's a possibility. I don't know if it's easy or not. I don't know if it's easy or not, but Haruka and Natsuki can use healing magic.

　When we left after the training, the three of us were completely uninjured, unlike me who had bruises all over my body and Toya who had burns on both of her legs.

　However, that did not equal the fact that we were not injured. If we think about it normally, we can't deny the possibility that they had trained very hard, since they all remembered after such a long time.

"Toya, the goal is to learn the [Iron Wall] by dinner time. You've got the hang of it, right?
"Hmmm, in time, not impossible, huh?

　We usually have a few hours to spare before we leave the training outside and go out for dinner. If you think about the time it takes for Toya to get the magic barrier, it should not be impossible.

　I took out my fire magic grimoire, sat down on the bed, opened it, and raised a tree branch.

"No mercy for the ass, right?

　There's a reason why we spank our children when we discipline them.
　In the case of other parts of the body, especially the head, even a light blow to the head can cause damage if it hits the wrong place.

　But in the case of the buttocks, there is almost no chance of that. If it becomes red and swollen, it may hurt when you sit down, but it is not ...... life-threatening.

Wait, wait, wait!　Moderate, moderate, moderate?

　If you're not sure what to do, you can always ask your doctor.
　Normally, it would be easy to push him off, but because of his bad position, he can't get up.
　I have [muscle strengthening]. Toya doesn't yet. That's the answer.

I thought you were trying hard.　If it hurts, it hurts hard. Don't you?

　When I nodded my head in agreement, Toya waved his hand and repeated his excuse.

I'd like you to put me in the position of having to ask Haruka or Natsuki to fix my ass!
"I see. ...... Good luck.

　I smiled and shook the branch in my hand.

　　　　I'll be back.

　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's had it.

　It probably took him less time than it took me. Pain is effective, after all.

　I couldn't help but notice the resentful look in Toya's eyes as he rubbed his own ass, but it worked, so it was okay, right?

How could it be?　It hurt a lot!
Then go to the next room and get it fixed.
I'll do that over dinner at .......

　It's hard to go to the women's room and ask them to fix my butt. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go to dinner with them, but it's still a good idea.　If I were you, I wouldn't hesitate to ask Haruka, let alone Natsuki.

I'm sure you'll agree.　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.
It hurt more than that, in my opinion.　Besides, even a spanking is painful if you take dozens of them.


"Hmmm, did I use the wrong amount of force?　-- "Shall I go ask Haruka to do it for me?

　I'm sure you're not the only one.　I'm sure it's not as bad as you think.

"...... No, thanks. It's not as if I can't stand it.

　He thought about it for a moment, then shook his head.
　Then he turned his head towards me, smiled and opened his mouth.

"By the way, Nao, are you interested in the nightlife?
What's with the suddenness? Are you having an indecent conversation with me because Haruka and the others are not here?
No, because you and I have never been alone together before.

　I was in the same room with Haruka until I met up with Yuki and the others, as Toya said, and even after that, we often all gathered in this room. I'm sure we never had a chance to talk about it.

"Doesn't it bother you, Nao? As a healthy man.
Well, I won't deny it.

　I'm not in this inn, but in this world, it's open enough for a normal innkeeper to take customers. I'm not in this inn, but in this world, ordinary innkeepers take customers. In the original world, if you go back a little, it was a normal thing.

Wouldn't you like to go there?
"I'm not afraid to admit that it's a little difficult to say that I don't feel that way at all.

　I'm a man, too.

I'm a man, too.　Then...

　I'm a man, too, so..." He raised his hand to interrupt Toya's words.

"But, Toya. What should I say to Haruka to get money?　What do you want me to say to Haruka to get some money to go to the brothel?
"Ugh. ......

　At the moment, Haruka is managing all the money except for a little spending money.

　There is talk of dividing the money between party funds and personal funds after the house is built, but the current allowance will probably not be enough to go to a decent brothel.

A good excuse is ...... not good for many things.
Yeah.

　Lying is not good.
　In this kind of situation, trust is important. Besides, it'll be easy to find out.

You want to go hunting in secret?
You can't go to ...... then!

　If you hunt a wild boar, you can get enough for two people, but there are problems before that.

I'm sure you're not the only one.　Don't you remember?

　When I first came here, I was warned not to go to such stores because of the risk of STDs! I was warned not to go to such shops because of the risk of STDs. But if you go there and get sick, what will happen to you? .......

There are some high level light magic spells that can cure illnesses, what do you look like when you ask?
"Can't even ...... Nao ask for it?
You can't!　Even if they do eventually cure you, you'll never be able to stop thinking about it.

　In the event that you have hemorrhoids and you need to show them to Haruka in order to get them cured, you can't deny that it's embarrassing, but you'll be able to bear it and ask her to help you.

　However, if you go to a brothel and contract a s*xually transmitted disease despite being stopped, and you have to show your p*n*s for treatment, what will you do? ....... I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

No s*x, just hands. ......

　This guy just said something even more stupid, didn't he?

"Hey, Toya, think about it, do you want to go that far?
"Hmmm, ...... that far?　I've never been there, I've never been there, so I'm just curious.

　After a moment's pondering, Toya answered simply, "Yes.

　When I was in Japan, it was difficult for me to go there because of my age and the atmosphere, but here it's more open, so I guess I'm interested.

　However, our women have Japanese values, and if you ask me if I'm desperate enough to go to a brothel and risk making enemies with them, I'm not that desperate.

So, if you can't stand it anymore, use your own power. I'll pretend not to see it.
"No, I'd rather you keep an active watch then. They're so easy to get into.
That's true.

I mean, it's not like we're talking about anything serious.
Hmm. What's the secret is the flower.

　I tried to say something like that, but Toya shook his head firmly.

No, that's not it at all.

　Apparently not.
