Master’s Smile

C116 – Fever Exploit

Ritter was currently bedridden with a fever after her duel with Theldorff.

Her body seemed to be unable to handle her demonic power, which she had avoided for a long time.

Despite the benefit of an extended lifespan, Ritter still felt that she couldn’t get used to the existence of demons.

Spending all her time sleeping on the bed was usually quite tedious for her.

But this time, she felt no such aversion.

“Aaahn….”

Ritter opened her mouth and waited. Soon after, a bite-sized piece of fruit popped into her mouth.

As she bit into the fresh fruit, she sniffled with happiness.

Her master was currently there for her at all times, right next to the bed where she was sitting.

Hence, she was always in a good mood when she ate her meals, as it was fed by him.

The current Ritter might even be able to be nice to the unpleasant Yelquchira members, who would normally get in her way when she tried to stick close to Master.

“Aaaaahn….”

She opened her mouth once again and waited, which led to Master smiling wryly as he threw in another fruit.

Although Schwarz and others were happy to take care of their master, as seen by how they insisted on learning how to cook, Ritter prefered to be taken care of by him instead.

“Mhmm, it was delicious.”

Master asked her how the taste was and Ritter replied honestly.

The fruits themselves were certainly sweet and fresh, but the fact that her master fed it to her was probably the deciding factor.

There might even be a possibility that she would enjoy the food prepared by Vampir if her master was the one feeding it to her.

“Fuuh….”

Ritter gazed blankly into the void and recalled the other day.

The duel with Theldorff had made her release her demonic power.

It was inevitable due to how unexpectedly powerful Theldorff was, along with his magic sword, Fulbred.

Still, she had to use that detestable demonic power and it had weakened Ritter significantly, both physically and mentally.

In the first place, the demonic power was not possessed by her due to her own desire.

She was instead forced to possess it when she was in “that empire” before she met Master.

“(Well, I don’t think anything of it now….)”

But, Ritter currently had no particular feelings about it.

Master had saved her, and there were no remains of the empire left.

Besides, if she used her demonic power, she would be able to hog her master all for herself if she wanted to.

Knowing this, the other members had no reason to resent her.

Master then asked if there was anything else she wanted him to do.

And at that moment, Ritter’s brain went into overdrive.

If she answered no, then he would probably put her to bed and leave.

This was a rare opportunity and she had to make the most of it.

“…Body, wipe?”

This was the conclusion Ritter came to.

And Master’s smile seemed to have…stiffened.

It is true that the side effect of demonic power is a high fever, and it is also true that the patient herself is sweating profusely in an attempt to relieve it.

“My body, cold….”

Ritter hugged her body, looking cold and shivering.

Yet, her poker face didn’t simulate as such.

Nevertheless, sweating would certainly cool the body, so it would be better to wipe off the excessive sweat.

Master asked whether she could wipe it off herself.

“Can’t.”

Ritter’s answer was immediate.

She belonged to Yelquchira, a group of people who all possess inhumane powers, so it was hard to believe that she, who was a fighter like Reese, would be unable to wipe her own body from a mere fever.

However, Ritter had used the power of that powerful demon, so she might be more fatigued than what Master could imagine.

Hence, he told her that he would get a towel and left the room.

“……Phew.”

Without knowing that Ritter was grinning widely.

　◆

Ritter decided to prepare herself before Master returned.

Although it was a hassle, she still ardently tried to undress.

“Ah, Master.”

ーーー!?

Just as she had removed the top half of her clothing, Master came back with a wet towel.

It felt as if an inaudible scream was echoing from his smile.

Master commented how surprisingly quick it was for her to prepare.

It was obvious that there was no way she was going to wait for the best event of her life, that was, for her master to wipe her body.

“Here, here.”

Ritter beckoned him to come quickly and touch her body.

Master finally moved closer with a wry smile.

“……Nhnn.”

Ritter was a little frustrated being told that her master would start wiping from the back, but meekly obeyed.

Her back was so slender that it was hard to believe she was the one who defeated the strongest knight, Theldorff.

Due to her high fever, sweat was pouring and dripping down from the nape of her neck, which was terribly lascivious to see.

“…Fuwah.”

The towel stroked Ritter’s back, making her leak out a loose voice.

It was pleasantly warm and wiped away the sweat.

Master’s exquisite handling of his force was so soothing that it unintentionally made her want to fall asleep.

She had planned to seduce him by letting out a little lustrous voice, but such thoughts were blown away in an instant.

“Nhnn…?”

Ritter finally returned from Heaven when she was told that it was over.

Master asked if she could do the front herself, seeing that she kept staring blankly halfway through.

“Can’t.”

It was an immediate answer.

If he didn’t do the front as well, there was no point.

Rather, if she could not have Master touch her front, which is the part that appeals to her as a woman, there would be no point in even suggesting this deed in the first place.

Thus, Ritter exposed her body to Master without a shred of shame.

She was not embarrassed at all, since her body was not made in such a way that she would be embarrassed to be seen by her own master.

“…Wipe?”

Ritter urged her master to do so.

In her view, she considered herself to have a quite presentable body.

She glanced down and saw her relatively nice figure.

Her bre*sts were plump and well-shaped.

They were modest when compared to the likes of Kühling, Anat, and Vampir, but they were large enough against Laladi and Krankheit.

Hence, Ritter was not a part of the flat-chest alliance.

Her gaze then descended from her lean stomach to her springy rear and long legs.

Once again, she looked down at her own body and confirmed that, attractive or not, it was at least not unsightly.

Now, it was time to see if this body would please her master.

“…….”

What could be seen from Ritter’s observation was Master smiling gently.

However, she had known him long enough to know that, this was his bashful smile.

Fortunately, her master seemed to see her as a woman.

Even the one who was like a god watching over Master from a distant height, Anat, was worried that he might not even have a lustful desire, but that seemed to be superfluous.

In theory, Master was just wiping the sweat off Ritter’s body due to her having a high fever and had difficulty moving.

Hence, Master, who for some reason or another, always escaped the temptation of the others in Yelquchira, was unable to escape this time.

“Haah…haah….”

The towel held by Master slowly approached Ritter’s body…precisely, towards her alluring limbs which were drenched in sweat.

Ritter’s breathing became more and more rough, whether from the high fever or from tremendous arousal.

Her entire body was on fire, and turned red.

A bit more and his hand will finally touch her body.

And it will not be a mere light skinship, either.

From Ritter’s point of view, he will firmly touch her chest and armpits.

“(…I wonder if I can stay awake.)”

Just cuddling with clothes on was already an immensely euphoric experience for her.

Therefore, even though it was through a towel, the thought of her master’s hand caressing her body was enough to make her feel like she was currently in a dire state.

“(Ah, already….)”

Master’s hand almost reached Ritter’s body.

And she gazed at him with lusty eyes.

Then, just as his hand was about to touch her….

“Ritter, how are you feeling? Let me know if there’s anything I can…do…for you….”

The door opened with a creak and Neena, the owner of the estate, entered.

She might not have to knock every time since she was the owner, but for Master, their current situation was a shock, like a punch to the side of his face.

Neena, too, was astounded at the scene before her.

Ritter, who was considered one of the most prestigious women in the Knights Order, was freely exposing her upper body, including her chest, to a man.

In addition, Master’s hand was also close to her front side.

A stiffening scene.

“…Umm, that, I’m sorry to have disturbed you. I didn’t expect you to have a relationship more than just a master and disciple……I’ll have the maids clean your bed tomorrow.”

Saying so, Neena left quickly.

Her ears that peeked out from between her hair were bright red, which would normally make Master smile.

If that was in a normal situation, that is.

“Ah….”

Master hurriedly chased after Neena.

Before leaving the room, he remembered to properly wrap the clothes he had worn around Ritter’s body.

Ritter tried to reach out for his back, but she didn’t dare to stop him as he had a strong expression of having a sense of duty to clear up the misunderstanding.

“Muu….”

Just a bit more and her master’s hand would have touched her body….

Unsatisfied, Ritter slightly puffed out her cheeks.

Neena didn’t have any ill intention and she had misunderstood the situation in a good way, so she still forgave her for intruding, but if this had been a member of Yelquchira, she would have slashed at them without question.

Nevertheless, that is not to say nothing was gained.

Her kind master had handed her a garment of his.

(EDN: They are all perverts) (TLN: They sure are)

“*Sniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiffffff*…!”

She buried her face in his garment that was left behind and inhaled deeply, very deeply, until she was on the verge of hyperventilating.

“Haaaaah….”

Then, raising her face once again, an obscene smile could now be seen plastered on her, a far cry from her usual poker face.

Ritter was currently delighted while having a feverish gaze.

(TLN: Man, this chapter was so annoying to translate because of the complicated wordings, but anything for Ritter!)
