Chapter 212: A little too comfortable
"What is wrong?"
Seeing Fumino running downstairs in a hurry, Vigne asked curiously
Why was the reaction so strange?
It felt like seeing something extraordinary.
"There isn't anything."
Thinking of the scene she had just seen, Fumino shook her head.
Although she couldn't see Itsuki's specific movements and expressions due to the angle and obstruction of Ren's body, she could tell just from the posture of the two of them that things weren't that simple.
For example, doing something that is inappropriate for other people to see.
Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that she had misunderstood.
After all, what normal person would choose to do those things in someone else's house?
Whether she misunderstood or something really happened, she still pretended not to know anything for now.
She could confirm it secretly with Itsuki later.
To avoid misunderstanding.
"Then do they have anything to bring?"
After hearing the answer, Vigne didn't ask any more questions.
"No, let's just buy groceries," Fumino lied without changing her expression.
"Okay, let's go."
After saying that, Vigne walked towards the door.
Because they didn't bring anything, they could relax a lot.
"Um."
Fumino immediately followed her, but when she left the house, she turned her head and glanced at her room.
She hoped that when she returned, Ren and Itsuki would have finished their work.
···
"You need my help?"
Looking at Itsuki who was curled up on the ground, covering her right leg with one hand and almost crying, Ren asked.
When Fumino opened the door earlier, he naturally noticed her.
But before he could speak, she closed the door and left.
This made him confused and didn't know what Fumino was going to do.
However, now is not the time to think about what Fumino will do, it is better to face Itsuki first.
"...Um."
Itsuki nodded with tears in her eyes.
Her toes hit the table leg, and the pain that shot through her bones made her unable to think normally.
Now Ren said that he wanted to help her, in this case, how could she refuse?
It's just that she didn't know how he could help her.
Do you get ice cubes?
Before Itsuki could figure out the problem, Ren's hand that was covering her leg was removed.
Then, she felt a pair of warm hands placed gently on her legs.
In an instant, Itsuki realized what help Ren had mentioned.
She doesn't want this kind of help!
"That..."
Itsuki raised her head and was about to refuse, but when Ren massaged her, the pain immediately subsided.
"What is wrong?"
Hearing her voice, Ren stopped moving Itsuki's right leg which was wrapped in white socks.
"No… Nothing."
After Itsuki felt the pain in her leg had clearly disappeared, she couldn't say the words she wanted to deny.
"Oh."
After making sure Itsuki was okay, Ren continued to massage her.
To be honest, he didn't know the correct way to deal with a badly hit foot.
But as an omnipotent Esper, even if he didn't know it, it didn't matter.
All Ren needed to do was apply a layer of [Healing] superpower to his hands, then pretend he knew how to massage, and simply press a few times on Itsuki's feet.
This way, Itsuki would only think that his massage had an effect, and never think that it was because of his superpower.
"Umh..."
Feeling the burst of warmth radiating from her feet, Itsuki's cheeks slowly turned red.
This was the first time she had close contact with a boy since she was a child.
And the first contact occurs with sensitive places such as the feet.
But she couldn't say anything, Ren did this to help herself.
Not to mention, under his massage, her right leg which was originally in pain felt better.
"How?"
After pressing gently for a while, Ren asked how she felt.
To prevent her from overusing his superpowers and causing Itsuki to realize something was wrong.
"Very comfortable," Itsuki answered absently.
She wasn't lying, it was indeed very comfortable.
It was even said that it was a little too comfortable, so she became obsessed with this feeling.
The only bad thing was that she felt her strength was slowly disappearing, and she almost didn't even have the strength to lift her arms.
"Ah, that's good."
After getting the answer he wanted, Ren didn't stop and continued his "treatment".
He didn't know how long it would take for ordinary people to return to normal, so he had no intention of stopping.
After all, there is nothing to do now, so being idle is being idle.
"Hmm~~"
Currently, Itsuki couldn't feel any pain at all, and all she could feel was the comfort brought by the gentle massage on her legs.
However, even though she knew that she no longer needed him to help massage, the words to stop got stuck in her mouth and she didn't want to say it at all.
Because it was very comfortable, she felt warm all over her body.
Even though her brain was telling her that she couldn't bother Ren anymore and she should scream stop now, her body resisted and was reluctant to scream.
(Soon, just a moment)
After an inner struggle that wasn't very intense at all, Itsuki still chose to stay comfortable for a while longer.
And when Itsuki thought about it there, Ren was still trying hard to make it look like he was getting a massage.
Just by pressing it, he became a little distracted and started thinking about other things.
Just like that, time passed minute by minute.
"Does it still hurt?"
After feeling that even ordinary people should have recovered by now, Ren finally let go of his hand.
"…"
Itsuki lay on the ground without answering, but her eyes were a little blurry.
After observing it carefully, Ren stepped aside.
It seems like he accidentally overused his superpowers while he was distracted?
No, this had nothing to do with him at all, Itsuki who had not yet recovered from the pain.
How could he, as an ordinary person, make people like this?
So, it must be Itsuki's own problem.
That's right.
After finding a suitable excuse for himself, Ren stood up with a clear conscience and walked out of the room.
He would wash his hands and be very careful about hygiene.
As for Itsuki, just give her a break.
Even if the treatment is excessive, it will not cause any harm to the person.
But just to be safe, after using the recovery technique on Itsuki, Ren left the room.
