85 – 85. Huh?

“I wish I had taken that massive attack too!!! Ahh-!! I wasn’t strong like you, so I couldn’t even step in properly!!”

“????”

Under the moonlit night, a rather coarse conversation continued one-sidedly.

“Right, Rokse! Where do you like being hit the most?? I oddly prefer the hip area!”

True to her Mazo nature, she openly shared her inner walls rather than outer walls with her compatriot.

From afar, it seemed like a pretty woman showing affection to a liked man.

But the reality was an exhilaratingly dizzying exchange that would leave ordinary people feeling faint.

However, it was undoubtedly an amusing situation.

It felt like pulling out a drama or anime story picked up from shorts or reels, then watching an enthusiast go wild all alone.

“Yeah, they say most women like being hit around the hips.”

“Really?? Am I weird then??”

“Well, what’s weird about it? I find it thrilling to get hit during combat.”

“Is that so? Really??”

“Sure, sure.”

As Siel warmly approached him, acknowledging their camaraderie, her bright smile made him feel closer.

The conversation topic was somewhat puzzling, but her pure affection made him feel like he had turned into a bad person for no reason.

‘Well, it’s not wrong since I strangely enjoy getting hit or hitting during fights… Wait, maybe it’s not during fights, but when the heart rate rises?’

As Siel, with a radiant smile, rationalized her actions, Rockse, realizing something he shouldn’t have, felt his facial muscles twitch.

Siel, seemingly delighted to see Rockse, poured out her thoughts on sensation and feeling.

“Isn’t it exhilarating when your heart goes thump-thump and tingles all over!? It feels like electricity flowing through your entire body…! Ahhh-“

To an onlooker, she trembled as if recounting her first experience with someone she liked after drinking.

Such a sight from Siel was incredibly fatal to Rockse.

‘Damn…? Isn’t what I feel when hit or hitting during fights similar to this…? What did those creators put in me?’

Rockse trembled inwardly at Siel’s Mazo explanation, which seemed to resonate with him.

He thought that heart rate addiction made one go crazy in combat, but feeling similar to what a pure Mazo feels when hit was perplexing.

Just imagining the creators casting spells in his mind and injecting heart rate addiction into his body made his head spin.

“When you blocked Rica and Jane’s attack for real and gave me that creepy smile, how good must it have felt!?”

And Ciel struck the decisive blow.

Receiving high praise from Mazo himself for the smile he had during the battle, Roxer felt dizzy.

‘Heartbeat addiction, what a weird thing.’

Thanks to the heartbeat addiction that helped him overcome the pain and fear he faced in his mental world, Roxer thought he was being teased.

Touching his face, Roxer glanced at Ciel, who had made him realize a brutal truth.

She, innocently smiling, made him oddly resentful.

Ciel, who didn’t miss that gaze, felt a strange thought creeping in.

‘Why is she sending such a look…? Could it be, could it be that Roxer likes being hit too??’

He recalled the sinister smile Roxer had when he was hit during the battle, not just when he hit back.

Perhaps he was being viewed through Mazo’s eyes too much, Roxer thought cautiously as he continued speaking.

“Maybe… Roxer, do you feel such emotions or sensations when you hit or attack someone?”

“Huh?”

With a kind tone, Ciel, having cornered Roxer twice, now that he had realized his perverted side, Roxer couldn’t deny it.

Reading the situation, Ciel swallowed hard and remembered why he had initially approached Roxer.

A man who overwhelmed Jane head-on with tremendous power and outmaneuvered Rica with agility and skill.

How thrilling would it be to face such a man?

The instinctive attraction of women to strong men, coupled with Mazo’s nature of liking to be dominated and molded as desired, sparkled in Ciel’s eyes.

“Then, shall I give your butt a smack?”

As Ciel firmly grasped Roxer’s hand with both of hers, she revealed the hidden gold coin with a glint, like a cult leader giving a sermon.

“Huh?”

Having never received such an invitation from a woman before, Roxer felt a tingling sensation on the back of his head.

He wanted to refuse in his heart, but…

‘Ha… She did say she took on some of the pain while I was unconscious… She wouldn’t lie about that, and since she already has a debt, it’s only fair to… to oblige, right?? Is this the right thing to do?’

She already had a debt to repay. With the reasons that led him into various troubles, he couldn’t refuse.

Refusing here would lead to disaster, with Ciel’s funds being ruined, and a crisis in the 15-man raid party’s tank position.

Seeing Roxer’s troubled expression, which seemed to worry about the relationship between men and women, Ciel licked his lips.

“Don’t worry, I’ll keep it a secret from the other girls. Just think of it as a down payment for what’s to come, a simple sparring practice, okay?”

Roxer seemed tempted, and Ciel, without stopping, blatantly pushed forth a devilish deal.

Not stopping there, she provocatively drew sensual curves as if truly wanting to be hit.

Taking Roxer’s hand and slightly turning around, she pressed her buttocks, sensually felt through her tight white spandex pants, against his hand.

Feeling like he might be called an idiot if he refused, Roxer quickly withdrew his hand from the buttocks that seemed tempting to refuse.

“Ah… It’s not possible. Okay…”

As if casually resigning, Ciel thought that Roxer had realized it was impossible, given that he still held feelings for Rica and Jane.

However, like a whip, Roxer’s rough touch quickly struck Ciel’s buttocks with a resounding smack.

“Eek!? Ahhh!”

The following smacks! Smacks! Sounds and Ciel’s increasingly rough breathing and moans.

“What, what, what!? This is weird!!! You, you made me feel too good!!?”

As if fearing that steam would rise from his buttocks due to the spanking, Ciel, who had received quite the spanking, was left gasping.

“Huff… Ahh…”

With a pleased expression, as if ascending to somewhere, Siel nestled into Roxer’s embrace.

Roxer let out a deep sigh, barely managing to suppress the urge to hit again.

“It was dangerous…! I almost couldn’t stop!”

Enjoying the dizzying situation to the point his heart rate rose, Roxer held Siel, who was softly whimpering, close.

Thanks to the exercise, digestion must have been roughly taken care of.

Just as he was about to take Siel downstairs to lay her down for complete recovery.

“….Haa. Camilla.”

“!?”

Roxer, realizing that Camilla was eavesdropping behind the door as she descended from the rooftop to the building, sighed.

Already feeling awkward and tangled with Camilla, the situation now seemed doomed after being caught drumming Siel under the moonlit night until she let out a cry close to a scream.

“Well… should I prepare for losing a valuable healer?”

As Roxer imagined the worst, Camilla, with anxious eyes, gently opened the door and looked at Roxer.

In a situation that seemed undoubtedly doomed to anyone, Roxer, sweating coldly, pondered whether to make excuses or confront the situation head-on.

“Roxer…! Jane! Jane…!”

Camilla approached Roxer with a face that seemed like she might cry, asking for help.

Finally coming to his senses at her appearance, Roxer approached Camilla, who was sitting with Siel in her arms, and crouched down in front of her.

“What could be wrong? Why Jane?”

Calmly trying to soothe the visibly distressed Camilla, Roxer asked, and Camilla, with a choked voice, struggled to speak.

“She can’t be with us anymore…”

“Damn… what do you mean?”

At the mention of losing a powerful all-around dealer, Roxer’s gaze changed momentarily.

Jane, who always stuck by him like glue, was leaving without a word.

As per the saying that you only realize the value of something when it’s gone, Roxer felt a sense of emptiness, anger, and heaviness.

Camilla explained that Jane had left to receive separate education to become the leading figure of her family in another country, starting today.

“Ha…”

Roxer let out a disheartened sigh at her words.

Only then did he shut his mouth at the sound of Jane’s message alert.

The message contained no content.

But having trusted Jane all this time, he understood its meaning.

That the once talkative Jane, buried under numerous emotions and thoughts, was left unable to do anything.

“What should I do… what should I do….”

As Camilla wept tears, mourning like she was sending off a truly beloved lover, Roxer’s thoughts deepened.

He had long known that Camilla liked Jane.

Using that to manipulate Jane, he had even forced her to join the team as a healer.

Yet, it seemed to have backfired, leading Jane to be forcibly taken away by her family, her father.

In this work, no matter what you do, it seems like this event will happen.

Eventually, Roxer accepted that Jane left because of his actions.

So, he clenched his fist tightly.

“Sigh… He really doesn’t give us a break.”

Roxer stood up from his seat.

Camilla, with teary yellow eyes, looked at Roxer as if asking what to do.

“Let’s go, we have to bring Jane back.”

“What…?”
