Heroine Netori

"Would you like it stronger?"

"That's enough... Ah!"

"Sorry. This area is quite tense, so I'll apply a bit more pressure."

"Really! You should wait for an answer first! Ah…"

The girl sat on a chair without a backrest, receiving a massage from the man. She had never entrusted her body to a stranger before, but because he was so trustworthy, she allowed it.

The man's claim to know how to massage wasn’t an exaggeration; as he touched her body, a pleasant sensation spread throughout.

"Ah… quite… hmm… you’re very good at this!"

"I’m glad I could please you, miss."

It wasn’t the girl’s first time receiving a massage, but those experiences hadn’t been pleasant because her skin was sensitive, usually bringing pain rather than pleasure.

However, the man’s massage felt different.

"Ah… Is it because the man’s strength is greater? Or is it because Mr. Butler is better at massaging than they were?"

"Ah!"

The man’s movements started at the shoulders and slowly worked forward and back, eventually reaching her collarbones and shoulder blades, enjoying her body.

The girl didn’t realize that this wasn’t just a massage but rather caressing, stimulated not by loosened muscles but by the ‘Sensory Stimulation’ skill the man possessed.

Unaware, she could barely contain the moans escaping her as the pleasure overwhelmed her.

But

"Ah!"

The sensation was too intense to hide.

"Gasp! This, this is ah…"

Unable to hold back, the girl let out a cry. She was embarrassed. It was a sound she had never let anyone hear before.

Her face turned red, and tears formed in her eyes. As a lady of the Shin family, she shouldn’t have shown such a disheveled appearance, but once again, she couldn’t control herself.

Disappointed in herself, she wanted to stop the massage, but the man did not cease his actions despite witnessing her degradation.

"Ah… Stop! Ah… please stop! Uh…!"

"Miss?"

"Please… stop now!"

Fortunately, the man’s hands halted.

However, her body was already aflame. Unbeknownst to her, her nipples were erect, and her panties were wet.

Exhausted, she leaned back against the man, breathing heavily. Then she noticed his scent for the first time, strangely not unpleasant.

"Uh… I see Mr. Butler is good at massaging! But is this really the massage that makes me attractive?"

"Indeed. You might not see it, but right now, you are very cute and charming. Surely, if that man saw you now, he would fall for you at first sight."

"Cute!... How many times must I tell you?! I am a cold and rational person!"@@novelbin@@

The girl tried to suppress a smile, angering at the man as she leaned away from him.

The man began to stroke her head.

"Heh…"

Could it be that he’s as good at stroking hair as he is at massaging? It felt more comforting than when her father would do it.

Having calmed down, she quietly enjoyed the man’s touch, and he gently reached for her ear.

"Ah!"

Despite the simple touch, she couldn’t help but make a sound.

"Eh… stop it… Ah!"

This time, he didn’t stop. His hand softly caressed her earlobe, playing gently as if with a precious doll.

"Stop it! Ah… why won’t you listen!"

Her protests were in vain; he continued, now slipping a finger into her supple earlobe.

"Ah!"

The pleasure was incomparable to anything before. She writhed, fear gripping her as she felt she might lose control of her body. Reaching out, she grabbed his arm, which reassured her somewhat.

The man, seeing her reaction, brought his mouth close to her ear.

His breath was dizzying,

Exhilarating.

"Don't hold back."

"…Yes?"

It was the first time she heard his voice so low, and the first time he spoke informally to her.

But she had no leisure to care about such details. The murmuring at her ear made it hard to keep her mind clear.

"Don’t hold back and surrender to your feelings. It feels good, doesn’t it? Don't deny yourself."

"That’s not… ah… true! I am of the Shin family… Uh…"

"It's okay. You don’t have to strain yourself."

"I am… Ahh…"

"Didn’t I say? This massage is meant to make you more attractive. Let go of those ill-fitting clothes. Be honest with yourself. You don’t have to pretend to be aloof; you are charming enough."

She couldn't understand his words, overwhelmed by the sensations he provoked. She couldn't think of anything else.

But she could understand his next words.

"So, if you feel good, just say it feels good."

"I feel good♡!! Heh…♡♡ Yes, it's nice, nice♡♡!!"

For the first time, she reached a climax.

====

It seems I really hit the jackpot with the character gacha.

An essential SS-tier character in one pull?

Starting off glued to the heroine’s side, with very high favorability, high status, many subordinates, and trusted enough within the family to act freely without anyone minding.

Thus, investigating the protagonist and another heroine as I have was as simple as issuing a command.

Who knew the A-team I mentioned as a joke actually existed…

-Swish

I opened a file, pulling out papers containing information about the protagonist and another heroine.

[Kim Siwoo. Son of a local snack bar owner. Enrolled as a scholarship student based on his grades. Poor attitude in class but consistently ranks high. Hobbies and special skills include cooking. Winner of the school cooking contest.]

What… Siwoo again? Well, Siwoo does sound like a protagonist’s name.

[이유나. Only daughter of the famous B bakery chain’s president. Grades are average. Winner of the school cooking contest. Note: Miss Yena was runner-up.]

Hmm? He must have been on the same team as the protagonist. Yena was beaten to the victory… So she's the main heroine?

Meeting her would confirm it, but since there’s no other woman beside the protagonist now, Yuna must be the main heroine.

Ah… the main heroine.

Thinking back, I might have built this up all wrong.

As much as it's a harem light novel, it's rare for the protagonist to end up with everyone. Usually, each one gets rejected until he ends up with the main heroine.

Or it ends with, "So, who will you choose?!" without a clear decision.

The problem is that sub-heroines rarely end up with someone.

And I was already on the path of netorare for a sub-heroine…

This isn't netorare, it’s just giving her away!

Sub-heroines usually help confirm the protagonist’s feelings for the main heroine.

When they confess, the protagonist suddenly remembers the main heroine, realizes he’s been in love with her all along, and runs to her, leaving the sub-heroine behind.

Then the sub-heroine cries but smiles and sends him off.

"See! Everything is perfectly fine!"

Damn, what kind of fine is that?

To truly succeed in netorare, I’d need to seduce the main heroine, which isn’t easy.

Given she's already smitten with the protagonist, it’s hard to win her over, and even if I did, if the protagonist hasn’t realized his feelings yet, she’d just congratulate him and it would all be over.

I could push Yena to confess, but I’ve already crossed too many lines.

Using bust enhancement as an excuse, I’ve touched her breasts enough times that her already high favorability skyrocketed.

After discovering her ears were a weak spot, I would use one hand on her breast and the other on her earlobe while whispering sweet nothings, making her melt away, so cute that I ended up doing it every day until now she approaches me first asking to be touched.

"Mr. Butler! I look forward to your service today!"

"I’m sorry, miss. I don’t have the leisure to give you a massage today. I’m sure I told you yesterday."

"No, no! Lying… Hmph! I am a cold and rational person, so I understand! Cold. And. Rational!"

"Ah… where did the honest miss go?"

"I don’t know! Make me honest again!"

"Well… I suppose I have no choice. Change into something comfortable and wait; I’ll be there shortly."

"Hehe…♥"

She hasn't mentioned the protagonist recently; even if I urged her to confess now, she wouldn’t.

So then…

Why not just call it a draw?

Is there really a need to achieve true netorare? How can anyone always succeed or fail?

From my perspective, it's too late. Given how things are, wouldn’t it be better just to enjoy the time with Yena? Even if she’s a sub-heroine, a heroine is still a heroine, so I should make at least a C grade.

Besides, a C grade allows for a retake, so I could redo it…

Yeah, let’s just enjoy this time!

Or so I thought.

"Hello, Mr. Butler. I've heard a lot about you from Yena. Could I possibly receive that 'massage' as well?"

Her chest is really big.

Wait, this isn’t right.

Why are you here?
