for Advance Chapter
Chapter 9: Tione-san, let's practice foreplay. Of course, we won't go all the way to the actual act. This massage is something Ais has also experienced, Lefiya-san.
Rick is running his own shop as usual today.
While thinking that he really needs to secure at least one employee soon or he might collapse from overwork, he continues giving massages to his customers.
It's nice that the shop is steadily making a profit in the black, but doing everything alone has its limits.
"Thank you very much!"
After greeting the customer and confirming that no other guests were waiting, Rick was about to take a break when the shop door opened.
"Welcome, Tione-san."
"Yes, please take care of me."
Tione, who had become a familiar face just like Tiona, entered the shop, and Rick immediately guided her to the treatment room.
"Please lie face down here."
Following Rick's instructions, Tione lay down on her stomach.
"Then, I'll begin."
Rick started the massage from her toes. Tione's expression gradually relaxed into one of pure pleasure.
"Mmm… As expected, Rick's massages feel so good…"
"Thank you very much."
"That idiot was praising your massage skills again. Won't you get even busier?"
"…I really should secure an employee soon."
Rick smiled faintly at Tione's words and thought seriously about it.
There had been a day when Tiona had gone around praising Rick's massage skills, and so many customers had come that it was truly hellish.
As he continued the massage, Tione's eyelids grew heavy.
"…Sorry, I'm going to sleep for a bit."
"That's fine. I'll wake you when the time is up."
After saying that to Rick, Tione fell asleep. Rick smiled gently and lightly tapped her cheek.
Once he confirmed she was completely asleep, Rick began chanting.
"[The present and dreams are both equal]"
As he cast the hypnosis magic, a single purple needle appeared in Rick's hand.
"[Night Cheval]"
He stabbed the purple needle into Tione's head.
Naturally, there was no external wound. Rick's hypnosis magic could only be cast while the target was asleep, but its effect was more than sufficient. However, Rick deliberately kept the power of the hypnosis magic to the absolute minimum.
For example, if Rick used maximum-power hypnosis on Tione and made her recognize herself as his sex slave, Tione would obediently become his sex slave according to that recognition.
But that would be meaningless.
Even if he could easily control such a beautiful girl with magic, it would still just be magic in the end.
Once the effect wore off, it would lose all meaning, and above all, it wouldn't be interesting or fun.
That was why Rick suppressed the power to the level of merely giving a "trigger."
He only provided the trigger, so that almost everything would be decided by the person's own will.
After that, whether he could grasp that trigger and guide her depended entirely on Rick.
"Tione-san, Tione-san."
He shook her shoulder and called out to her.
"Mm… Is it time already…?"
"There's still a little time left, but it's about time."
Tione, who sat up, still seemed half-asleep, her consciousness not fully awake.
"You seem quite tired. Is the training with the [Familia] really that harsh?"
"Not really. Besides, I can endure anything if it's to make the Captain notice me."
Tione's face took on the expression of a girl in love.
"The Captain… [Braver], right? It's enviable that someone like you, Tione-san, with such beauty, loves him."
"Oh my, you're quite smooth with words. But flattery won't get you anything, you know?"
Tione casually accepted Rick's smooth compliment.
"That's a shame. I was hoping for Tione-san's embrace."
"You're saying something like Loki so casually… you…"
She looked at him with half-lidded eyes in exasperation.
Even though she knew it was light teasing, she hadn't expected those words from him.
In Tione's image, Rick was the type who was more serious and not very good at jokes.
"Someone as beautiful as Tione-san would make any man think that way, right? There are probably people who harbor faint delusions of spending a night together with you."
"My chastity belongs to the Captain."
Tione declared it clearly, and Rick thought that she really did love Finn from the bottom of her heart.
That was precisely why he wanted to make her his.
"If I may add, many men say that it's better if the woman can take the lead for their first time with a woman. They have this ideal that they don't want to ruin such a precious memory by being clumsy because it's their first time."
"Tell me more about that in detail."
Tione leaned her face closer, biting at his words, and Rick continued.
"Women want to spend their first time with someone they like, and men have similar feelings. I don't know about [Braver], though."
"...…"
Seeing Tione place a hand on her chin and begin thinking deeply, Rick asked.
"Does [Braver] have any experience in that area?"
"…No, I don't think so. I've never heard the Captain talk about anything like that."
"Then, isn't this a chance?"
Rick pounced on the slight doubt that had appeared in Tione.
"If you become a woman who can take the lead now, Tione-san, you will become an unforgettable existence for [Braver]. To completely capture [Braver]'s heart, won't you practice with me?"
"But my chastity is for the Captain—"
"I won't go that far. Just to get a little used to men, won't you do some foreplay practice with me? Knowing or not knowing foreplay makes a big difference in a man's reaction."
"Does it really change that much?"
"Of course it does. It's no exaggeration to say that it's common to all men except those with special fetishes."
Faced with Rick's confident statement, Tione agonized over it for a long time.
"…Fine. But if you go any further than necessary, I'll rip your balls off."
Tione took the bait.
