Night market masseuse Hassan
065 ? Night Market Masseuse Hassan #4
The stars twinkling in the night sky look like salt sprinkled on deep blue silk. The two moonlights embedded in the center softly illuminate the training ground objects.
Swish-.
Hippolyte said, rising from the bench.
“I hear, Hassan. I heard you have some kind of magical talent.”
Hippolyte spoke so quietly and gently, but for some reason goosebumps appeared on the back of my neck. It was as if she knew everything and was telling me to confess before I saw any trouble.
“Where did you hear that…?”
Where did Hippolyte hear about my dexterity? Did Daphne break her oath on the River Styx and tell it? As my thoughts spread their wings and spread everywhere.
“I heard it from Baltma.”
Baltmar? Who was Baltmar? Thinking back, I remember the face of the cross-eyed middle-aged man who saved me from being slapped by Daphne when I first joined the guild.
The name of the half-bald man was Baltmar, I think. I forgot his face because I never saw him again. Yes, he was the one who first told me about my grace.
“… So what do you have to say to me?”
“If you were the one who attacked me at night, you would know why I am refusing to be promoted to Gold Tier.”
“yes?”
I don’t know. It was only recently that I found out that Hippolyta was refusing to be promoted to Gold Tier.
But before I could make any excuses, Hippolyta continued speaking.
“My overall score has already surpassed 40. It’s been a long time since I surpassed the gold tier promotion criteria. But that’s only when the sun is up in the sky. I’m weak on a moonlit night. I’m probably as weak as an untrained average person.”
Hippolyte’s words reminded me of a moment I had encountered her a while ago, when she was bathing.
At that time, Hippolyte’s level had dropped for some reason and was only at 3.
“In that sense, Hassan. Would you like to spar with me?”
Hippolyte clenches his fists and takes a stance like a Muay Thai fighter.
I couldn’t understand the situation, how he was just saying that he was weak like a normal person at night and then he was challenging me to a fight.
“Are you serious?”
“Come on. The last duel was interrupted unexpectedly. Let’s make it an extension match.”
Seeing her talking about the interference in the previous duel, it seems that Hippolyte has also noticed the pause in time. The warrior woman shrugs her shoulders at that moment.
“Or are you scared of me, Samaritan?”
“Then, don’t regret it.”
It may seem like I’m being provoked, but this time I had the upper hand. I had attacked Hippolyta while she was bathing the night before.
At that time, Hippolyte was so weak that I could easily subdue her with my own strength. If what she said is true, then even now, under the moonlight, her strength would be just as weak as then.
While practicing, pretending to make a mistake, let’s squeeze those big, soft chests – that feeling starts to motivate me.
“Okay, judging from your expression, it looks like you’re ready to fight. Then I’ll go first.”
Ta-dat-.
Hippolyta came rushing towards me with a loud kick of her feet.
Compared to the last duel, where it felt almost like teleportation, although it was quite fast, this time I was able to follow it with my eyes. Of course, following it with my eyes and reacting to it with my body are two different things.
Phew-.
At that moment, Hippolyte’s palm reached out towards me. It seemed as if it was about to grab my collar, and soon my body was lifted into the air and I hit my back against the floor.
“Ugh-!”
In an instant, all the air was rushed out of my lungs. It was so painful that I couldn’t breathe, but more than the pain, I was more curious about what was happening.
“Well, you’ve already died once.”
Hippolyte, stepping on my chest area. Looking up from below, I could see her slender calves, tight thighs, healthy abs, and large breasts, which was very pleasing.
“Do you want to try again?”
Swish.
He removed his foot from my chest and reached out his hand to me as if to help me up. Feeling quite bewildered, I grabbed his palm and raised myself up.
Deering-.
『Name: Hippolyte Heavensinger Lv. ?? 3
Status: Boiling Blood》 Moonlight Allergy》 Severe Menstrual Pain》 ????》』
Judging by the floating letters, her level has definitely dropped to 3. I think it might be because of that “moonlight allergy.”
But I couldn’t understand how she, who was only level 3 at the moment, could knock me, who was almost twice her level, to the ground like this.
“You look like you don’t understand. Then try to understand until you do. If you can successfully attack me even once, I’ll give you a reward.”
A prize? Shit, in fact, I was hiding my true power for this moment. It was a strategy to draw out Hippolyte’s carelessness and catch her off guard.
“Now, what’s going on? Just waving your arms around doesn’t make you an attack.”
“Geueuugh-!”
But damn it, no matter how many times I sparred, my attacks never worked on Hippolyte.
“Come on, let go, quickly.”
Me, with both arms held and my neck squeezing with a strong thigh.
Kwaaaaak-.
The feeling of her soft, sturdy thighs against my neck is wonderful, but I can’t breathe and the night sky begins to turn yellow.
“That’s it… .”
When you are really struggling to breathe because you feel like you are going to die.
“You are dead again.”
Only then did the strength that had been holding my thighs release and I was able to breathe freely.
I felt like an electric current was running through my head and all the strength left my body, and I almost fainted in many ways. Was this the fainting game or something?
“Ugh, ugh, ugh.”
“Samaritan, you’ve already died twelve times tonight. When are you going to attack me again? I don’t mind continuing our sparring all night.”
It makes me angry to see her mocking me as she looks down at me, panting heavily. I have come to know for sure that I cannot defeat even the weakened Hippolyta now.
After several defeats and near-fatal pains, my body’s will to fight has been sapped away.
There’s something distinctly different about this than when I subdued and restrained her last time. Shit, are you cheating me?
“You look like you don’t know why. Based on the current combined figures, it would be strange if your attacks, which are twice as powerful as mine, didn’t work on me. Right?”
“Well, that’s true.”
“Since the discovery of the Needle of Epic Relic Appraisal, adventurers have tended to rely only on numbers. However, battles and struggles are not a game of numbers for sissy philosophers. Experience and skills are not expressed in numbers.”
In other words, Hippolyte’s words seemed to be saying that even if one’s level is high, if one lacks combat experience and technical sense, the outcome of victory or defeat is unknown.
To be honest, it was a bit shocking for me to lose to a level 3 Hippolyte. It turns out that it’s not just about being a high level that matters.
“I see it clearly now, Samaritan. You have no sense of combat. You are a beginner who has not even learned the basics. It is a shame to waste such a vessel.”
“Is that why you called me at night to tell me that?”
“Yes, those who have grace tend to become proud and fall down easily. It’s better to break their pride at least once before bad habits develop.”
Indeed, Hippolyte’s words were true. Lately, my income has been increasing and I’ve been getting promoted here and there, so my pride has actually gotten a little high.
As I continued to suffer such overwhelming defeats, I often found myself feeling humble. Damn, I was still a loner!!
Hippolyte, who helped me up while I was so frustrated and then shook off the dust on my body. She said.
“But you’re the first one to try more than ten times without giving up on the second or third try. I acknowledge your determination and perseverance. I like your mindset of not wanting to end up a loser.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Hippolyte seemed to have misunderstood something, but it wasn’t because I didn’t want to lose that I kept attacking her.
Hippolyte, whose level was lowered, mainly used ground-type grappling techniques. Due to the nature of grappling techniques, her body and mine had to be in close contact.
Because of the feeling of my hand digging between her breasts while she was being spanked.
Because I just loved the smell of sweat that I could smell as my face was pressed against her thigh. In fact, Hippolyta will never know that this fight was my victory. I’m a fucking genius.
It was when I was giggling like that to myself.
“Then since you’ve been defeated so brilliantly, you’re my slave tonight. Actually, I’ve been wanting a Samaritan slave for a while now. Samaritans are like wild horses, hardy to tame, but they’re very strong and are considered luxury items.”
“Yes, yes!?”
I was startled by the unexpected words and my whole body trembled. Slave? What the hell is that?
Was this duel turned into a cassock bread without my knowledge? It’s so unfair that I’m falling into slavery again.
“Slave? What do you mean?”
“What are you so surprised about? How could you not know that the lives of those who lose in duels and battles depend on the victors?”
“But, wasn’t this a mock battle?”
“There is no practice or lies in the struggle. There is only the struggle itself. Are you going to argue your case with the monsters that are trying to take your life?”
“That’s not true. A real slave is a bit…”
“Don’t worry. I won’t treat you roughly. Okay, let’s start by running five laps around this training ground. Of course, I’ll go with rabbit jumping.”
Shit, shit… .
So I had to do all the tricks Hippolyte ordered me to do, from running around the training ground like a rabbit to doing PT exercises on the transparent chair.
I thought I was gaining some weight because I’ve been eating so well lately, but it really felt like all the calories in my body were disappearing.
“Get up and do one more!”
“I, I really don’t have any strength in my body. Ugh…”
“You have to push yourself to the limit to properly build stamina and muscle. Fast!”
“He, she, nineteen… .”
“Okay, then let’s do one last one for real!”
“No, you said earlier that it was the last time… ”
“I’ll finish it after filling up twenty. This is the last one. Okay, twenty!”
“S, s, sburr… .”
“Sval? I must have misspoke about twenty.”
“Geuheuk… .”
After doing five sets of twenty push-ups with Hippolyte on my back, I was so exhausted that I fell to the ground. I couldn’t even move a finger.
“You’re weak, Samaritan. Even the kids in the basic class of Queiroz can do this well. Didn’t you say you wanted to be a hero? Gold tier, you know.”
“Well, that’s true, but… .”
Shit, this is such an ignorant training. Rather than training my body, it just feels like my life force is being eaten away.
“Well, it’s still late at night. There’s still a mountain of training to do. If you want to get over 40 in total, you can’t do it with ordinary training.”
“… Didn’t I say that I don’t fight in shame?”
“But promotion is based on numbers. You need to have a total number of 30 to get the Silver tier, and 40 to get the Gold tier. Now hurry up and get up quickly without thinking too much.”
“I really can’t move a finger. It’s true.”
“This body is being trained by Hippolyte. Don’t you know that this is an opportunity you can’t get even if you pay 1 gold? Hurry!”
“Ugh… .”
But my head was spinning and I had no strength left in my body.
The first thing that comes to mind is the face of my blind date from my military days. My blind date was a famous hell-cracker in the battalion, and whenever he got the chance, he would drag me to the physical training room and torture me in all sorts of ways.
The matchmaker’s habitual saying was “You can’t learn this even if you pay money.” Damn, are all the guys who exercise the same? Is there something that transcends time and the world?
That’s when I was lying on the dirt floor, writhing.
Suddenly, a fairly strong force pressed down on my back, and at the same time, I heard a crunching sound from the joints in my spine.
“Ugh!”
As a bonus, I screamed in unexpected pain.
“Then lie down. I will relax your muscles and joints.”
Hippolyte, who was climbing onto my back, began to push up my waist with her wide palm.
It was a very rough touch, but it felt cooler than I expected for my overworked muscles.
While Luna’s massage felt special and a bit awkward, Hippolyte’s massage still felt like a real massage.
Is it true that people who exercise know how to stretch their bodies better?
From the shoulder blade area that my hands can’t reach, to the nape of my neck where the muscles are already tense and sore, it feels like my body is really melting.
“You have a talent for massage. Have you studied the human body?”
“I’ve killed a lot of people. If you learn how and where to hit them to kill them, it naturally turns out like this.”
Shit, I overheard that. I was getting a massage with peace of mind, but now I’m starting to feel anxious, like I’m some kind of lab animal.
“But this is the first time I’ve touched a man’s body other than hitting him. And this is the first time I’ve been alone with a man like this since my father. Now that we’re on the topic of my father, have you met my father?”
