Hassan’s Holiday
090 ? Hassan’s Holiday #3
Before we knew it, morning had come.
A morning where birds are chirping and flowers are in full bloom, covered in dew.
Today is Sunday, so people will each go to the sanctuary or temple of the god they believe in and worship.
If not, I’ll just take care of things I couldn’t do during the week or take a break.
However, Luna, who was cornered in the second floor room, was sobbing as if she was about to burst into tears at any moment. The fact that her eyes were shaking violently made it clear that she was extremely flustered.
Somehow I feel like I’m making a big mistake. However, I definitely need to point out the issues that need to be addressed so that bigger problems don’t occur later.
I said.
“No, I’m not angry. Just tell me what you were trying to do. What kind of sorcery was it?”
Luna said she was casting a spell or something on me in the middle of the night.
I’m starting to think that the heavy weight I’ve been feeling every night lately was because of Luna’s spell. It wasn’t a coincidence that I had a nightmare about being crushed by a giant rabbit.
“That, that’s the spell of…”
“What kind of spell?”
“The spell of wind reduction… .”
No, what the hell kind of sorcery is that? I felt dizzy at the thought of such a story.
“Why are you betting that on me?”
“But Hassan keeps smelling like other women. Nymphs too. Hippolyta too…”
Luna speaks as if making excuses.
“No, that’s….”
At that moment, I too felt a very stinging sensation and was speechless. I already had several criminal records.
However, it was far from my intention to cheat or anything. Could it be that Luna was misunderstanding?
“Anyway, don’t do that to me. Besides, what’s the effect of the spell?”
“Mom, I can suck out some of your body’s energy….”
“The energy of my body?”
I think I know a little bit why Luna was so energetic every morning. And why I, who don’t even have low blood pressure, have been feeling sluggish in the mornings lately.
It was Luna who was using the suction power from me!! Who would have thought Luna had such talent? I’m both surprised and scared.
“But if that’s a curse, wouldn’t it be more effective to use it on monsters or cultists rather than me?”
Luna shakes her head at my innocent question.
“You can only use it if it touches your skin.”
“ah-.”
Then, it would be difficult for other people to use it, unlike me. I didn’t really want to think about Luna, who clings to other people’s bodies and casts spells.
Is this like Hassan’s special curse?
“And Hassan, you ignored my curse last time…!”
“Oh, that’s right.”
The word curse reminded me of the day Luna wrote my name in red letters.
Now that I think about it, my body started to feel heavy after that. I thought it was nothing serious, but it seems Luna was surprisingly concerned.
“Oh, anyway, I didn’t plan on doing it for long either. I heard that men cheat or leave women if they don’t give them their bodies….”
“What does that mean?”
I don’t know where she heard that, but Luna seemed to be feeling her own sense of impatience.
I just passed it by without feeling anything, but I thought that maybe Luna might feel that way.
“Anyway, I was really surprised.”
“I won’t do it anymore… .”
Luna was so dead that it was easy to recognize her.
I didn’t want to spend the weekend morning feeling so gloomy, and I quietly started crying, hoping that Luna would come to her senses soon.
“Do you want to go eat meat?”
“Okay, I’ll have the meat then!”
It’s good because it’s easy to understand.
* * *
We devoured two whole roasted trouts at the Nymph Wings Inn, where we usually frequented.
She’s been eating it for several days now, so it’s understandable that she’d be sick of it by now, but Luna eats it well without showing any signs of it. Is she growing?
“Aren’t you tired?”
“It’s delicious. And this place has the cheapest prices. Since the guild building collapsed, we’ll have to eat frugally for the time being.”
Anyway, it was fortunate that Luna’s mood quickly improved.
Someone once told me that when my girlfriend gets angry or fights and the mood gets awkward, I should buy her something delicious to eat.
When I actually used it, it was quite effective.
People become sensitive when they are hungry, and when they become sensitive, they get angry or depressed. I guess you could say that this is a kind of wisdom that men have realized over a long period of time with women.
Knowledge of the various aspects of modern society is surprisingly helpful.
I was lost in thought, so I asked casually to change the mood.
“What do you do after eating?”
Normally, I would go to the guild and take care of requests even on weekends, but after the Mars Guild building was destroyed, I found myself unemployed against my will.
Of course, if you have saved up about 50 silver, you can use it to live off of for two or three months if you don’t spend it extravagantly. If you save a little more, you can use it to live off of for six months to a year.
“Well? Has Hassan, what have you thought of?”
“I don’t have anything in mind either.”
“Then it would be best to rest at home.”
I nodded my head in agreement with Luna’s words. I’ve been running without a single day of rest lately.
I thought it would be nice to just laze around and do nothing for a day or so to recharge my energy. I had just finished eating a quick meal and was about to get up from my seat.
“Brother, I’ve been hearing stories that sound like lies lately.”
I turned my head at the sound of someone speaking to me and saw the innkeeper with nymph wings looking at me.
“I heard that a black-haired Samaritan took down a section of the cult. There are a few Samaritans in Sodomora, but when I heard about them, I thought of you. Is that you, by any chance?”
In only a few days, has the rumor spread so far that it has already reached the innkeeper’s ears?
I felt a little proud somewhere.
“It sounds like a lie, but it’s not a joke. It’s the truth. I took it down.”
“Wow, that’s really great! It’s your job, but I’m also very happy! When an outstanding adventurer comes out of one of our regulars, it’s beneficial in many ways.”
Is it similar to stores that advertise themselves as places visited by celebrities? Well, it makes sense since famous adventurers are no different from celebrities.
“I bet your funny nosed musician friend will be happy that you’re making a big deal out of it.”
When I heard the word “Kojengi,” Malko’s face immediately came to mind. Is that kid alive and well?
“What did that guy do?”
“You don’t know, hyung? Well, if you’re busy, you might not know. Anyway, uhm, well, what is it? I have something to tell you, hyung.”
“What do you want to say? What’s going on?”
At that moment, the innkeeper came towards me with a sneer. Shit, I was really freaking surprised. I barely managed to hold back the fist from going up.
Anyway, he spoke quietly into my ear.
“I have something important to tell you. Could you spare me a moment…?”
“What time is it?”
“Keep it a secret from that girl too.”
I have to keep it a secret even from Luna?
When I looked at Luna with a what-if expression, the guy shrugged his shoulders.
“I’ll just sit here and wait.”
Luna was already used to waiting for me, so I followed the innkeeper’s directions and went down to the basement.
In the past, I went down to the basement to massage the nymph Echo, the innkeeper’s wife. As I walked into the same room I had entered, a newlywed’s room, set up in the basement just like before, appeared before my eyes.
However, if there is one thing that has changed from before… .
“Oh my god.”
“As expected, you’re surprised. Brother, I wanted to ask what on earth is going on!”
The innkeeper stomped his feet as if he was furious. In front of him and me, there was a woman named Echo sitting on the edge of the bed, her hands clasped together in a somewhat reserved manner.
“Hello, congressman.”
But it was very different from the Echo I had seen before.
If the Echo I met before was like a young, innocent girl, the Echo now is a sultry married woman in her late twenties or early thirties.
The fresh feeling is nowhere to be found. Should I say that it feels like the sweetness has increased to the point where it is about to fall off after being fully ripened in the sun?
Her breasts had grown larger overall, and her physique had completely changed. If she hadn’t greeted me, I would have mistaken her for Echo’s older sister or her young mother.
“What on earth is going on?”
“I want to ask you everything! You suddenly changed a few days after Hyung-ssi healed your back!”
Does it make sense that a person can change so drastically in a few days? It’s as if all the years that had been piling up have come back to me all at once.
“I thought you would know what happened, hyung. Don’t you have any idea?”
Of course, it’s not that I didn’t have any clues. I massaged Echo’s chest and gave her the 《curse of stunted growth》. In fact, there’s nothing else I can think of.
And maybe that’s why.
“So, what’s the problem with becoming more beautiful?”
“Of course, I have no problem. Thanks to you, our relationship has become stronger and better. However, the problem is that it’s not just pretty in my eyes.”
“yes?”
“Sval, those damn punks keep flirting with my wife!”
Oh, indeed.
Even if Echo, who looked like a nymph in her teens, was different, Echo, who was now a mature married woman, was still a very attractive woman in my eyes.
Echo is the innkeeper’s wife, so she will have many opportunities to welcome all sorts of guests. And then the innkeeper who has to watch all this will get angry.
“That’s not the only problem. She’s a mature nymph. Word of this has spread and reached the ears of the higher lords…!”
“If you say Nari, who are you talking about…?”
“Of course, they are unlucky nobles. Anyway, I want to know the secret or method of how you raised a nymph like this. But what would I know?”
“… So did you happen to be talking about me?”
I had a vague fear that the rumor about my massage would spread out of control, since this world has a very strict punishment for illegal medical practice.
Of course, it seems like it’s okay to say that it’s okay to get a massage. But there are many things that cannot be answered for sure when it comes to people. You can’t let your guard down.
“Of course I didn’t tell you. We swore on the River Styx to keep each other’s secrets. But there’s a limit to what I can do to cover it up. How, is there no other way?”
* * *
I’m just finishing up my conversation with the innkeeper.
As we walked towards the restaurant on the first floor of the inn, Luna was sitting at a table, gathering the bones of the new meat she had eaten and creating a strange tower-like structure.
“What did you talk about?”
Luna opened her eyes wide and asked, “Have you found me yet?”
“No, we didn’t really talk about anything special. Just work-related stuff.”
“Really? Look at this instead. It’s well made, isn’t it? A bone totem!”
Luna spoke as if she was very proud of the small bone tower standing on the plate. I glanced at her, wondering why she was bragging about such a thing.
Ta-da.
It’s better than I thought. It’s a pyramid-shaped tower made of bones. How on earth did they make it?
A sign of idolatry? A sacrifice of false worship?
“Well made. Does it have any effect?”
At my question, Luna opens her eyes half-asleep, as if looking at a strange person.
“Of course it doesn’t have any effect. Even Hassan sometimes asks strange questions seriously. Is this a cultural difference?”
What the hell?
My face turned cold as if I had been hit by Luna without meaning to.
Anyway, that’s how our lunch ended.
On the way back to Luna’s cabin together.
“Hassan, are you worried about something?”
Luna’s question brings me out of my thoughts.
“Worried? No? Why?”
“You haven’t said anything since a while ago. Did the innkeeper say something serious?”
Luna’s senses were quite sharp. In fact, her mind was full of thoughts because of the conversation she had with the innkeeper.
Since it’s come to this, should I open up to Luna a little?
“Luna, are you by any chance Baron Fleur…?”
That was when I was about to bring up the subject.
“Oh my-. Who is this-. I meet all kinds of cute friends in a place like this-.”
A languid voice with trailing words. A sticky voice that I couldn’t erase from my ears no matter how hard I tried, came from behind me.
“Today was a good day-. I got to meet such a precious friend in a place like this-. Hassan-. No, should I call him the little hero of Sodomora-? It’s like this-.”
Ssuk.
The alchemist’s witch, wearing a pointed hat, with Nemean red hair that sways like fire. Honestly, I thought I would never see her again.
“… Yes, Mr. Nemea.”
“There’s been an interesting rumor going around lately. Is that a story about your friend? I was curious because you never came to see me. Are you avoiding me on purpose?”
As we stood face to face like this, my limbs started to tingle as if I had committed some great sin.
“Hello, little girl-. Why do you seem to get shorter every time I see you-. Is it because you’re a child-?”
“… .”
Luna’s face just grew darker and darker without saying a word. I was about to open my mouth in a panic, thinking something was going to happen.
Sweep-.
Luna, who moved really quickly, caught up to the witch Nemea and wrapped both of her arms around her waist, interlocking their fingers.
“Ugh!”
“You-, what are you doing-? Don’t press your stomach like that-. The baby’s going to come out, kid-.”
“Huh!?”
