Chapter 65: Why did it turn out this way?

Damn it……

Why, why did things turn out like this?

I got the money, I even trampled Red under my feet.

It should have been double the happiness, so why…

Why does he look like he’s enjoying himself so much?!

Inside the base of Dawn’s Edge, Red was lying on the bed, looking thoroughly content.

And Letia was gently stepping on his back with her feet.

According to how it was said in the previous world, this kind of service should be called a “massage chicken”?

But as for how things ended up like this, well, that’s a long story.

At the time, Letia was only half-joking, wanting to tease Red a little.

But unexpectedly, not only did he not back down, he even took up the challenge, turning the tables on her.

Faced with all those crisp banknotes, she… simply couldn’t refuse.

But then, a problem arose.

She couldn’t just stomp on his back in the middle of the street, right?

The cost to stay at an inn was expensive; even for two hundred bucks, she couldn’t bear to spend it!

Going home was even more impossible.

Most importantly, this guy didn’t want to pay for a place either!

So stingy, just ridiculously stingy!

He even said he was worried she’d call the police?

Look into my eyes, do I seem like the kind of person who would go back on their word?

So in the end, since she didn’t want to pay, Letia had to choose the worst option and dragged Red into the base of Dawn’s Edge.

The three in Liz’s group were out on errands right now, so the base was empty and relatively safe.

Even if there was still some risk…

But hey, this is two thousand bucks!

Two thousand!

“How does it feel?”

“It’s not bad.”

For Red, this was honestly unexpectedly comfortable.

Both mentally and physically.

Letia was very light; Red estimated she weighed about 38 kilograms—almost absurdly light.

But even so, when she stepped on him, with just a little bit of pressure, it didn’t feel light at all.

In fact, there was a strange and inexplicable pleasure.

Come to think of it, maybe it was because Holy Light purified all impurities, but her small white-socked feet really had no odor at all.

He’d helped her wash those white stockings who knows how many times, and even back then, he’d noticed she didn’t really sweat much.

Now, being even closer, that impression only grew stronger.

Also… seeing her wearing that “you’re just a cricket, Red” expression, then giving him a backstep like this.

It was honestly pretty satisfying.

But he had to admit, Letia was really going all out for money.

He’d thought that after he nodded, Letia would panic and use all sorts of excuses to refuse.

Who knew she’d actually agree.

Though, for some reason, she dragged him back to Dawn’s Edge.

Actually, Red hadn’t planned to come here at all.

And the reason he didn’t book a room at the inn was simple…

With Letia’s size, going in together—even if she didn’t call the police—in less than half an hour, Uncle with the Hat would come knocking.

And if Letia decided to fan the flames and burn bridges at that moment, he’d be totally done for, wouldn’t he?

Besides, Letia said those three wouldn’t be back today because of something they had to do.

“Yeah, put a bit more force there.”

“Tch…”

Letia clicked her tongue, but the next second, her expression changed into that of a foot-washing girl serving a customer.

“Alright, Red, are you satisfied with my service?”

Although Red’s counterattack had caught her off guard at first, now that she’d come to her senses, she felt it was just so-so.

She was definitely not embarrassed.

It was just stepping on his back, after all.

It’s not CCB, what’s there to be shy about?

“Any extra services?”

“Dear customer, the remaining options can only be unlocked with higher affection points, okay?”

Letia didn’t dare tease Red any further.

She was afraid if she hiked up the price, he’d really pay up.

If that happened, it would be impossible to bring things to a close.

Most importantly… she was always the one playing with the toy.

How could it be right for the toy to play with her?

Now, stepping on his back counted as playing with the toy, right?

“By the way, Letia, is the whole recording crystal just you?”

“Ah… of course not, why?”

Letia was telling the truth.

It’s just that the content in this recording crystal was ten minutes long, and her own part… was only a minute.

So, who took up the rest?

Why, our dear Bishop, of course.

Who else could it be?

“Was this also for money?”

“Not really,” Letia shook her head as she stepped on his back.

“From the start, this was never for sale.”

It really wasn’t.

From the beginning, Liz had asked her to install this recording crystal in Litt’s room.

She’d just installed it somewhere else instead.

And upon hearing that there were people in the video other than Letia, Red’s interest was genuinely piqued.

Not because of desire.

But because he wanted to see if anyone else could be as shameless as Letia.

“Red, watch it at home. There’s no device to play a recording crystal here.”

Of course, Letia wasn’t going to let Red play that recording crystal here.

At least, she needed to not be around if he was going to.

Thankfully, she’d been clever enough to hide the Magic Mirror used to play the recording crystal as soon as she came in.

That way, Red would have to wait until he got home to see what was in it.

When that happened, if he tried to grab her, he wouldn’t be able to catch her at all.

He’d just stand there furious and helpless.

Just thinking about it… sounded fun, didn’t it?

Thinking that, Letia unconsciously stepped a little harder on his back.

But just as Letia was feeling smug, she suddenly sensed a strong surge of magical power.

Looking down, she saw the form of a Magic Mirror slowly taking shape in Red’s hand.

Crap!

No matter how she calculated, she’d forgotten Red was a Creation Mage!

“Red, you’re not planning to play it here, are you?”

Faced with Letia’s question, Red replied carelessly.

“Yeah, anyway, this sort of thing is no big deal for you, right?”

Red really didn’t think Letia would get all shy just from watching a little smut.

If anything, she’d probably read more adult books than he ever had.

And her personality, on par with the Monkey God’s…

No way she’d be embarrassed.

She was probably just pretending.

“Hey, hey, hey, the main character inside is me, you know! How could you possibly play that in front of the person involved?!”

Just like now—most likely just pretending.

From that, it seemed the recording crystal probably wasn’t what he’d imagined.

“At least wait till you’re home!”

“We’re not doing anything anyway. Wouldn’t it be nice to watch while enjoying this?”

Red instinctively dodged Letia’s hand as she tried to snatch it away, but that movement—

caused Letia, in her white stockings, to slip…

Bang!!

The girl fell hard, her head colliding with Red’s forehead.

The sudden, intense impact made them both cry out in pain.

After a while, Red clutched his throbbing head, then looked up—and saw Letia’s eyes spinning like mosquito coils.

Looked like she’d taken quite a hit.

Even worse, the position the two of them were in was… highly questionable.

If anyone saw this…

Just as Red tried to get up, the door to the room opened.

Even the usually expressionless Jessica was stunned at the sight.

The four of them locked eyes for a long moment before Jessica took a deep breath.

“Bethany, bad news! Letia and Red are really tangled up together!”
