I Became a Gallery Manager in Another World

Chapter 134: Lifting Elfrida (4)

Step- Step-

As I left ‘Universal Land’, I thought about it but couldn’t come to terms with it.

“Was it all just my imagination?”

Of course, it was entirely possible that I was mistaken.

After all, until recently, I had been living as a solo player.

But…

“No matter how I think about it, wasn’t the atmosphere really good?”

If I had to summarize the date I felt in four words, it would be like this:

‘Ferris wheel’, ‘kiss’, ‘romantic’, ‘successful’.

‘By the way, senior. Do you remember the promise you made last time?’

‘What promise?’

‘Oh~ silly. You said you could do ‘more’ with me.’

‘Ah…’

‘You’ll keep that promise… right?’

If I stepped back after seeing Elfrida close her eyes and lift her chin, I wouldn’t be a man.

‘…Ugh!♥’

When I grabbed Elfrida’s shoulders, a small moan escaped as if she was tense.

‘….’

‘….’

Just as our lips were about to touch…

Thunk─!

Suddenly, Elfrida pushed me away.

‘Elfrida?’

‘Ahaha… I’m sorry. Something urgent just came to mind.’

‘…Right now?’

‘Yes… right now.’

Click—!!

At the same time, the door of the Ferris wheel, which should have been firmly locked, opened, and Elfrida jumped out while saying something.

‘….Heeyyyyy!!’

Although her words were drowned out by the wind.

“Why did she really run away?”

If it was because she hated me that much, I could understand.

But would someone who hated me so much to jump off the top of the Ferris wheel ask me out on a date?

…Then did she hate kissing?

That didn’t seem to be the case either.

When I first kissed Elfrida, she just stayed still.

Well, it felt a bit like she couldn’t react because the kiss was too sudden…

“I don’t know. Really.”

The more I thought about it, the more confused I felt, so I decided to take a break and do some gallery browsing.

-Pop!

“…?”

A small spark flared up in front of my eyes.

-Pop!

-Pop!

-Pop!

Without giving me a chance to be surprised, the sparks continued to flare up as if signaling me to follow.

“…”

Anyone could see that this was not a normal situation, but only one thing came to mind.

“Elfrida?”

As if confirming it, the sparks glittered even more.

“…”

When I followed, the sparks sped up and moved ahead.

Tat-tat-tat-!

“Here is…?”

After running for a while, I arrived at a cemetery.

I couldn’t understand why Elfrida had called me to the cemetery, but I continued to follow the sparks as they guided me.

And finally…

“….”

In the middle of the graveyard, I saw Elfrida lying with her eyes closed.

“She looks like a princess.”

The words came out naturally as I looked at Elfrida.

A white dress, a slender figure, a sculpted face, butterflies flying around.

She looked more like a princess than any actual princess or saint I had ever seen.

‘…But why is she like that?’

She had just guided me here with a spirit, so why was she pretending to sleep now?

“Elfrida.”

“….”

I called her name, but there was no response.

Step- Step-

“What are you doing here, Elfrida?”

“….”

“…Elfrida?”

Her lack of response was suspicious, so I checked her breathing and found that she was genuinely asleep, not pretending.

“Then how?”

It must have been Elfrida who led me here…

Could a super genius spirit master give commands to spirits even while unconscious?

I didn’t know.

It might be impossible for most, but I’d never heard of a spirit master at Elfrida’s level.

“What on earth… huh?”

As I tried to figure out Elfrida’s intentions, a sweet scent wafted past my nose.

─Sniff! ─Sniff!

Following the scent with my nose, I realized why there were so many butterflies around.

“…It’s honey?”

It was because of the honey smeared on Elfrida’s armpit.

Poke! Lick─!

I tasted the honey on Elfrida’s armpit with my finger. It was definitely honey.

“Why is there honey on her armpit?”

I had so many questions.

Why did Elfrida jump off the Ferris wheel?

Why was Elfrida in a graveyard?

Why did Elfrida smear honey on her armpit?

‘…Let’s think slowly. Everything has a reason.’

Crack-! Crack-!

After a lot of thinking, I came to one conclusion.

“…She wants me to lick her armpit.”

Thinking that way, everything made sense.

It might sound crazy, but a famous detective once said:

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remained, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.

I was sure if I checked Elfrida’s sexual preferences, ‘armpit’ would be quite high on the list.

“The ‘more’ thing Elfrida mentioned on the Ferris wheel wasn’t a kiss. …She wanted me to lick her armpit.”

But she couldn’t bring herself to say it outright, so she ran away.

Running away led her to the graveyard, and she must have thought about how to get me to lick her armpit naturally, which led her to smear honey on it.

“Silly Elfrida.”

There was no need for such tricks.

Even without honey, I would lick Elfrida’s armpit as much as she wanted.

“…Phew!!”

Lick!!

I took a deep breath and buried my face in Elfrida’s armpit.

Tremble-!

Elfrida’s body shuddered at the ticklish and strange sensation.

It was a feeling she had never experienced before, but she didn’t dislike it.

In fact, it made her want to feel it more strongly.

“Eehit…!♥”

Then, as if he could read her mind, the sensation intensified, and Elfrida woke up from her sleep.

“Ah, you’re awake, Elfrida?”

“Eh…? Se…senior?”

Her head wasn’t clear since she had just woken up from a deep sleep.

But there was one strange thing.

Why was Ian here?

No…

Why was Ian licking her armpit?

“Se…senior? What are you doing right now?”

“Licking your armpit.”

“I know that, but… why are you licking my armpit!? Do you like armpits that much? I seriously feel like I’m going crazy. Is this even real? This is a dream, right? Tell me it’s a dream! Senior!!”

“Elfrida. Calm down.”

“How can I calm down in this situation!! Senior, are you some kind of pervert who licks any armpit?”

“No, it’s not just any armpit. It’s ‘Elfrida’s armpit’.”

Zing-! Thump-!

Hearing Ian’s serious tone after a long time, Elfrida felt a tightening sensation in her lower abdomen.

Of course, if you just looked at the words, it was a downright insane confession…

But in a confession, what’s important wasn’t the words, but ‘who’ was saying them.

“Ah, it’s not just any armpit… but my… my armpit that you like?”

“Yes. I like Elfrida’s smooth, hairless armpit.”

“Ha…!♥”

After thinking for a moment, Elfrida raised her other arm and spoke.

Swish─

“Well, I guess… if you like it that much… you can… lick this side… too… heeeying?!♥”

Before she could finish her sentence, Ian started licking her other armpit.

“Hah..♥ Huh!… Se…senior..!., Hic!…♥ Stop it!.. Hic!…♥ It was a joke!♥ Ha…!♥ Hah… uh…♥ Ha..se…senior…♥ Stop!.. Stop it..♥”

Lick-! Lick-!

As Ian continued licking her armpit, a ticklish and strange sensation surged again.

‘Hah…!♥ Senior… Do you… really like armpits… that much?…♥ Does it… not smell?…♥ Well… I did put some perfume on… huh?’

At that moment, Elfrida remembered.

What happened just before she fell asleep.

Fighting a special target? Restoring the graveyard?

None of that mattered.

‘I… I… was sweating, wasn’t I?’

Just before passing out, Elfrida was sweating profusely.

Of course, Elfrida believed that what comes out of a beautiful girl’s armpit wasn’t a bad smell but a ‘fragrant maiden scent’…

But that was only when her armpit was managed, not when she was sweating profusely like now.

‘No, no!!!’

If Ian were to say even once that she ‘smelled sour’, it could become a trauma.

“Se, senior!!! Wait…! Senior…!! Stop!! Really stop!!! I sweated a lot… it smells!”

“Don’t worry, it smells sweet.”

“No… that’s not possible!… Hic…!.. Ah!… Really!!.. Se.. senior.. really stop…!.. Seriously!!”

Unlike before, she was being serious, but Ian didn’t stop.

‘…At this point!!’

Elfrida decided to use her strength to push Ian away…

Snicker—

‘Eh?… Why?’

Maybe because she hadn’t fully recovered from her mana exhaustion, she had no strength in her hands and feet, and she couldn’t even call her spirits.

‘If the moon is up, quite some time must have passed!?! Why don’t I have any mana left!!!’

The culprit was Ifrit.

While Elfrida was asleep, he cleaned off her sweat, summoned a fragrant breeze, and made her clean again.

The efficiency was extremely low since he used mana without the spirit master’s permission, but he managed by squeezing out every last bit!

Lick—! Lick!

In the end, Elfrida, who had become the ‘super genius sickly beautiful high elf girl’, couldn’t resist and continued to have her armpit licked by Ian.

“Hah.. huh..!♥.. Euh…♥!… Se… senior!… Hic!.♥.. Stop… keep going!.♥.. Haah..!♥ If you keep licking…♥”

“If I keep licking?”

“Ugh…!♥ Th-that’s… haaak!♥… Ugh..!♥”

Elfrida rubbed her legs together and bit her lip.

Due to the nature of elves, who age more slowly as they get older, Elfrida’s first puberty was over 200 years ago.

To be clear, nothing happened to Elfrida at that time.

The only people Elfrida could meet then were elders, there was no gallery, and she hadn’t even received sex education.

But…

Having been reborn with the ‘Primordial Flame,’ Elfrida now knew the state of her second puberty.

‘…Wh-what is this!..♥ This… could it be… I’m… in heat?!♥’

Puberty!

In other words, it was the moment when the body first entered its fertile period.

In this state, if a man she had feelings for continued to lick her armpit, she couldn’t help but go into heat.

Swish—

At that moment, Ian finally stopped licking her armpit and placed his hand on her thigh.

“Shall we do more?”

Thump-! Thump-! Thump-!

More? More here?

Then how far were they going?

—Nod.

Not knowing what she was thinking, Elfrida’s face turned bright red as she nodded.

“Hiiik!?!♥”

Ian lifted Elfrida.
