The Strongest Female Masters, Who Are Trying to Raise Me Up, Are in Shambles Over Their Training Policy - V2Ch16: Sweet Training 2
Episode 16: Sweet Training Part 2
“W-What is this…!?”
After wiping away my sweat, I headed to the dining room, only to be greeted by a mesmerizing sight on the table. Freshly baked bread, aromatic soup with abundant toppings, heaps of fruit, and generous portions of red meat sizzling on the griddle—I was taken aback.
These weren’t dishes requiring advanced culinary skills, but even I, lacking a refined palate, could discern the high-quality ingredients. The mere sight made me twice as hungry. Normal bread is usually baked in the morning, so why bring it in at this hour?
“Hmm. Today, I ventured briefly into the Abyss Sea of Trees, encountered a lively Queen Oak, hunted it, grilled the nutritious parts, sold the rest, and procured additional ingredients. Now, after your training, it’s time to eat well,” explained Rudmila, the one who prepared the meal.
Queen Oak? Isn’t that a Risk Level 5 monster deep in the Abyssal Sea of Trees? Can one really reach such depths and return in a single day? Risk Level 5 monster meat is undoubtedly a luxury item…
While I hesitated, Leone and Telemia, already engrossed in their meals, urged me to start eating.
“Hey, Cross, what’s with the absent-mindedness? Eating well is also part of your training.”
“That’s right~. Eating not only strengthens your body but influences the recovery and growth of energy and physical strength, factors not displayed in your status. It also has a slight impact on magical power growth.”
“That’s correct. Even with the same stats, someone with a stronger body is naturally more robust. Eating well and building a strong physique won’t hurt. Well, the difference might not be substantial compared to stat variations, but, as Telemia said, it directly affects energy and physical strength. It’ll impact your future training, so eat, eat. Keep it at 80% full.”
“Eh, but until noon today, I was having a regular meal. Why this sudden change…?”
“That’s because you were recovering from an illness. With training beginning, it’s evident you need corresponding meals. Now, don’t hold back. I’ll be in charge of meals for a while. I’d like to hear your thoughts.”
Unable to object, I found myself seated next to Rudmila, her exquisite beauty making it hard to believe she belonged to this world. In her presence, I reluctantly resigned myself.
(But is it really okay for me to eat such a luxurious meal for free…!?)
The bathroom earlier had an excessive amount of boiling water, and the room was adorned with what seemed like high-class flame magic items. It felt aristocratic.
Despite experiencing this lavish meal, I worried about going back to my usual humble fare.
My fatigued body, however, succumbed to instincts as I took a bite.
“Oh, it’s delicious…!”
In no time, I devoured the unprecedented taste and quantity of the meal.
* * *
“Alright, let’s move on to some light guidance.”
After finishing the meal, Rudmila took my hand, leading me to a room adjacent to the bathroom. The room, equipped with a drainage system similar to a bathroom, featured a table covered with cloth. Rudmila seated me there.
“Now, remove your clothes and lie face down.”
“Eh!? What do you mean…”
“Just as I said. You don’t need to take off your underwear. Just lie down and relax.”
“Uh, ah, uh, sure…”
With no room to object, I undressed as instructed.
Embarrassment surged through me as I lay face down on the table, my face turning crimson at the prospect of exposing myself to an older woman.
Suddenly, a warm, slippery sensation touched my back.
“Hyau!? What, what is this!?”
Waking up to a strange yet oddly pleasant feeling, I discovered Rudmila had applied a mysterious slime to my hands.
“Hmm, sorry. I surprised you. I’m late in explaining, but I’m planning on giving you a massage using this medicinal solution (lotion) to recover from fatigue, as well as a massage to develop your magical power. There’s nothing to be scared of, so please feel safe and return to your position.”
“Ha, ha.”
As Rudmila instructed, I lay down on the table again.
Reflecting on her prior lack of explanation, Rudmila began to speak like a schoolteacher while spreading the mysterious slime on my back.
“Well, as someone who graduated from an adventurer’s school, I probably don’t need to tell you this, but ‘magic’ is a general term for the various energies that fill this world. It is sometimes defined as a great power that creates monsters, attack magic power, special magic power, and other ‘status that indicates the maximum power of magic skills that can be used at once.’ However, the word magic power here refers to the so-called ‘energy required to activate a skill.’ Just think of it as such. Massage for developing magic power is an instruction to help you get a feel for how to handle magic power.”
While sliding her palm over my body, Rudmila continued her explanation.
“Usually, when people receive a ‘profession class,’ they develop skills and learn what it feels like to use their own magical power without being taught by anyone. However, in your case, you don’t have any skills, and you understand what it feels like to manipulate magical power. I’m in a situation where I can’t do that. That’s where my skills become necessary. —Top-level magician skill <Extracorporeal Magic Power Mastery>.”
“—!? Oh!?”
Suddenly, a strange sensation seeped into my body from Rudmila’s hands, and a strange voice escaped me.
“What!? It feels like something hot is flowing through my body…!?”
“<Extracorporeal Magic Power Seizing>. This is a skill that ranks above <Extracorporeal Magic Detection> and <Extracorporeal Magic Power Manipulation>. Right now, I’m sending the magical power I manipulated into you, and when I and Leone use magic power, I am recreating the feeling of magic. This does not mean that you will be able to control magic right away, but if you repeat this every day, you will hone your sense of sensing magic, and it will be easier to develop and develop various skills.”
Rudmila laughed with some amusement as she explained, “Hehe.”
“We S-class adventurers share the feeling of manipulating magical power. Perhaps it would be much more efficient than those who have developed skills from the beginning to hone their senses on their own. Now, this medicinal liquid has
fatigue recovery. It’s not just effective; it also sharpens your senses. Remember this feeling of magical power running through your entire body.”
“Huh!? Hey, Rudmila, oh, oh!?”
Back, shoulders, arms, hips, legs… Rudmila’s smooth hands gently traversed my body, and simultaneously, heat was mercilessly poured into me. I writhed, my whole body jumping, desperately trying to stifle the strange sounds escaping my mouth.
This… it’s kind of weird… it feels so good… it’s weird…!?
“Hehehe, I have heard that simple skin-to-skin contact is an important element that naturally evokes romantic feelings. It is because novice healers who are forced to use contact-based healing skills often cause a tangle of lust, and the party collapses. It is clear from the fact that it is a trigger.”
“Ah, uh, kuu, hau, ahh!?”
Rudmila was muttering something under her breath; her hands became even more vigorous, and I couldn’t hold back my voice anymore.
“Hehe, if you continue this massage every day, you’ll soon be able to regain the advantage of Leone, who was the center of your guidance in the first place. But this… Hmm, even I feel strange…”
It must have been quite a hard job, but Rudmila started breathing heavily in the middle, and the extremely pleasant massage continued in the small room regardless of my will.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The dirty ingredients are seeping out.
