Hassan’s Holiday
089 ? Hassan’s Holiday #2
Snapping your fingers when you have a cold is a popular folk remedy in Korea.
If you gently prick the appropriate area with a sharp needle or acupuncture needle, the old stagnant fluid will be removed in an instant along with the black blood.
Honestly, I don’t know if it really works or not, but I think every Korean has experienced it at least once.
“Hatsan…! Ah, no!”
But in this world where all sorts of folk remedies and superstitions run rampant, surprisingly, the concept of letting go seems to not exist.
Luna could do nothing but tremble as she looked at the needle in my hand. Did she think I was going to hurt her?
“It won’t hurt at all. You don’t have to be so scared.”
The sight was somewhat pitiful, but at the same time, teasing, so a vague smile appeared on my lips.
“I just pricked the tip of your finger with a needle. You used to prick your finger with a needle and make it bleed when you did something like a curse.”
“That, that’s different!”
Of course, there’s a huge difference between deliberately poking your own finger and someone else poking their finger.
Anyone who has experienced it knows that it is truly scary to be stabbed by someone else.
The fear of sharp needles is quite strong.
However, if we continued to delay like this, it was obvious that Luna’s suffering due to her weight would only get longer.
So I lightly massaged Luna’s arm, stroking it gently to get the blood flowing downward.
“Is this really okay?”
“I told you it’s okay. I sterilized the needle by burning it with a candle. If you’re scared, just turn your head to the other side.”
“Uh, uh… .”
Luna turned her head as I said. However, Luna, who had been fidgeting, soon looked back at me and made a sad face.
“It’s scarier not to see…!”
“Yeah, that could be possible. Then I’ll just poke you a little.”
“evil!”
“You haven’t stabbed me yet.”
“Oh, really…?”
When Luna was flustered, I quickly pressed the ten-line acupoint at the tip of her fingernail with the needle using appropriate force.
Then, wasn’t a spurt of black blood gushing out from Luna’s thumb, which had been red from the blood rushing down?
“Ouch! Blood, blood! Black blood is coming out!”
“It’s like the blocked energy in your body is cleared.”
“Is it true?”
Of course I’m joking.
I think it’s natural for the blood in that area to turn black if you tie your arm for a long time to prevent blood from flowing to it.
But when you actually look at your own black blood, such nonsense sometimes sounds quite plausible.
“Are you feeling better?”
“Oh, yeah…! Now that I hear it, that’s true. My stomach hurts a little less, I think!”
Luna took her left thumb and her expression brightened as if her condition had improved a lot. However, the words that said that her condition had improved had not yet appeared in my eyes.
Is it really necessary to follow all ten of the ten acupuncture points?
“Then I know it won’t hurt, so I’ll take the rest.”
“… Hic!”
He held onto Luna’s struggling arm tightly and pressed down on all the spots on her remaining fingers with the needle.
Deering-.
『Cure for Luna Knox Dotti’s Acute Congestion』
『Task value + 10』
『Current task value: +214』
Then, the task number appears safely before your eyes. The task number that seemed difficult to collect has already exceeded 200.
This makes me feel really good because I think I’ll be able to level up twice more. Damn, I’m gonna get so strong.
“Huh… . Heuheu… Eww…”
However, Luna, who thought she would get better quickly after treating her symptoms, started shaking as if she had been electrocuted. I felt slightly uneasy seeing that.
Although I have experience massaging using my palms, this is my first time treating an abnormal condition using needles.
Are there any side effects?
So I asked Luna cautiously.
“What’s wrong? Are you okay?”
“Oh, it feels like new mana is flowing through my whole body. Huuuuu…!”
Luna shivered for a moment, then curled up and fell over as if she had been hit in the stomach with an arrow.
Then he curls up on the soft deer skin and starts to twitch and twitch.
“Ugh, hic…!”
I was suddenly scared by that reaction. No matter how I looked at it, this wasn’t a reaction to having my finger lifted. What the hell, is something wrong?
So, I didn’t know what to do and was hesitating, unable to even touch Luna’s body.
“Huh… .”
Luna sighed as if she had had a great experience and laid down on the deer skin.
“Hey, Luna. Are you okay?”
“Oh, I thought I was going to die. But the stomachache went away. What the, what did you do? Hassan, do you know how to do other things besides massage?”
The eyes looking up at me while lying down are quite moist. It may be because I had a new experience.
“Other than massage, I just do simple acupuncture.”
“Acupuncture…? What is that?”
Luna seemed to know nothing about acupuncture.
Of course, I could never say that I knew much about acupuncture. All I had done was stick a long needle into a human body model a few times.
Acupuncture was too hard and maniacal for my son to learn, so my father didn’t teach me much about it. He said that if I put needles in carelessly, something big would happen?
Anyway, this was the first time I had seen a spot the size of a needle that could barely be pressed, so I was quite taken aback.
I guess my talent for dexterity requires a broader horizon than I thought.
After the commotion of picking hands with a needle, we turned off the lights again and covered ourselves with an old blanket. Then something moved toward me, moving.
“Luna, why?”
“Huh? I didn’t do anything.”
“Isn’t this your finger?”
Something thin and sharp, I don’t know if it was even using its claws, was crawling up my arm, and it was so ticklish that I almost laughed.
“Don’t lie. You’re touching my arm.”
“I’m really not.”
Swish.
Luna extends two hands out of the blanket.
“Look, here are my two hands.”
“Ugh, then what the heck is this?”
So I walked around the room with a puzzled mind, and then I met eyes with eight really, really amazing eyes and I almost fainted.
“What the heck! It’s a spider!”
Woof, woof!
It was a freaking rainbow colored spider. I think its name was Kkung Kkung? Anyway, I’m not kidding, I was seriously freaking out when the little thing clung to my arm!!
“Shiba!”
But the reason I didn’t slap it away with my palm was because I knew that Luna was raising this guy with great care.
“Give me that! Quickly! I fucking hate spiders! Eek!!”
“Hey, wait a minute! Stay still!”
Only then did Luna move the spider stuck to my arm to her own hand.
“I forgot to feed you. I’m sorry, Kkung-kung.”
Boom!
As soon as the guy left my body, the blood in my whole body calmed down as if the blocked energy was released. Damn, it was really fucking scary. My pounding heart showed no signs of calming down.
“Hassan is particularly afraid of spiders. He must be even more scared of fighting with cultists.”
“No, they have at least two legs each. They can’t have more than six legs, I think. So, how about you…?”
I was about to say that it shouldn’t be placed or disposed of somewhere that can’t be seen, but then I stopped talking.
I remembered hearing somewhere that while living with a girlfriend, there are many cases where things go wrong and people fight because of the partner’s pet. I hate spiders, but I don’t think it’s worth scratching them to make a fuss.
But Luna seemed to understand what I was trying to say and spoke to me in a subtle way, as if trying to persuade me.
“But it will also catch mice. If there are a lot of mice that make holes in jars or leather bags, it will be difficult to make elixir.”
“Yeah, well, then I guess there’s nothing I can do.”
Because this house is Luna’s house, I have no choice but to follow her completely.
But on the other hand, I felt a little sad because it seemed like Luna cared more about that puppy than I did.
Sval, but I think I’ve known Luna longer than that guy. How can I be cute because I know how to catch mice?
Rather, am I jealous of the spider right now? Thinking about it made me laugh and my pride hurt, so I pretended like nothing happened and laid back down on my back.
“Anyway, let’s go to sleep.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
After feeding the dried meat to the spider, Luna let it go and went back to burrowing under the blanket. Maybe it was because I had my back turned, but Luna was pressing her body too close to me.
I felt a warm sensation clinging to my back, which made me feel good.
“Hassan, are you mad because of the dog?”
“No, I’m not angry.”
“Then why are you turning your back?”
“I usually sleep on my side like this.”
Swish, swish.
Then, as I lay there, something thin and sharp began to touch my arm again. This time, it was definitely Luna’s hand.
“Kkungkung wants to become friends with Hassan.”
Swish, swish.
Luna’s fingers moved as if they were tickling me.
Sagrak, sagrak.
It’s both fun and weird to pretend to be a spider using your fingers.
“Woof, woof!”
Luna even made the sound of a wolf spider howling, and I burst out laughing at how childish I was.
“Okay, I got it. I was wrong.”
As I lay back down like that, Luna also turned her body, which had been leaning towards me, and turned towards the ceiling.
So we fell asleep looking at the same ceiling.
* * *
I had a nightmare where spiders were wrapping themselves around my neck. It was the most horrifying, heart-wrenching nightmare I’ve ever had.
“Written.”
It was when I was trying to get up to calm my pounding heart.
Doesn’t my body feel like it’s frozen as if a heavy lead block is placed on it? Or is it pressed down by scissors?
Oh my gosh, I was so nervous that I could feel the scissors pressing down on me. I was out of my mind wondering what was going on.
Since it was my first time pressing scissors, I had no idea what to do. Should I just go back to sleep? That was the first thought that came to my mind.
I was scared that I would have another nightmare, and when I tried to lose consciousness, I felt very uncomfortable as if I was falling into the depths of a dark, black sea.
So I chose to wake up.
I remember hearing somewhere that if you apply strength to one part of your body, you can get out of a pincer grip.
Sigh-!
It was when I was putting strength into the little finger of my right hand.
Swish.
At that moment, I could barely raise my eyelids because of the faint movement I felt on my stomach.
Then my eyes meet with emerald eyes looking down at me.
“… .”
It was Luna, of course.
Luna is lying on top of my stomach, looking down at me quietly.
I wondered what on earth was going on, but I couldn’t open my mouth or move a finger. It felt like my whole body was being crushed by a heavy lump of lead.
What should I do?
Why is this guy on top of my boat?
It was at that very moment that I began to have such doubts.
licking-.
Luna suddenly stuck her tongue out and licked my cheek, like a dog or cat licking its owner’s face.
A warm and soft sensation momentarily made my head dizzy, but my body showed no sign of getting up.
Blink- Blink.
But Luna continued to lick my face.
“. . .”
And then he starts mumbling something in a language I’ve never heard before.
Could it be that I am dreaming right now? Could it be that I am actually dreaming and my mind is showing me strange scenes?
Have I been thinking so many dirty thoughts lately that my subconscious has become like this?
So when I think about it, I just need to lose consciousness and wait for morning to come quickly.
Kwuk.
I was startled by something like a strong pressure against my neck. Luna went from licking my face to biting the back of my neck!
Crunch.
The pain was so vivid that it reminded me that this was fucking real.
Thanks to this, the weight and pressure that had been weighing down my body disappeared, and my mouth and hands regained their freedom.
“Ugh, Luna! What are you doing…!”
I was so embarrassed that I grabbed Luna’s shoulders and shook her back and forth. Luna trembled as if she was startled.
“Ha, Hassan was awake…!?”
“No, what are you doing? Why are you biting my neck?”
“That, that….”
Luna was trembling like someone who had been caught doing something bad. She had actually done something bad. It wasn’t a good thing to press down on someone’s body while they were sleeping and bite their neck.
“What on earth are you doing? I said that I’ve been feeling heavy lately when I sleep, and it turns out it was you who was doing that.”
“That’s… . Ju, jutsu… .”
“What? Witchcraft?”
