Heroine Netori-Chapter 91

"Then I'm counting on you."

"Yes, leave it to me!"

Phew, to start from today, he must have been quite upset.

After informing Sophia through a servant that I would be late, I walked to the drawing room where Louise was waiting.

It was late and I was tired, planning to return to my quarters for some sweet time with Sophia, but Louise's passionate determination led us to start the lesson right now.

I hadn't even thought about the large amount of money I would receive. Even if it were free, well, ahem...

-Knock knock! "May I come in?"

"Enter."

As I opened the door and stepped inside, Louise was waiting for me, a bit tense—a stark contrast to her demeanor during our afternoon sparring. Seeing such a gap in her behavior in just one day, she really is the heroine.

And when did she change into that outfit clinging to her body, revealing her voluptuous figure? Is this also casual wear? Her fashion sense is really to my taste.

"Ahem! Quickly tell me, how can I become closer to him?"

She's rather hasty.

As soon as I sat down, Louise urgently demanded answers from me. She seemed eager to relieve her frustration, and I felt the same, so I decided to give her straightforward advice.

"Um... before I answer, may I speak frankly?"

"By all means! It's what I desire."

"Then I'll speak truthfully. Louise, why do you look so stern?"

"...Um?"

"Do you really intend to become friends? Every time you frown like that, won't he think, ‘Ah, this person dislikes me’?"

"That's...!"

Truthfully, I don't know how to become friends—if I did, I would have used it long ago.

This is like fact-bombing disguised as teaching. Louise won't change if I don't tell her like this. For everyone's sake, I need to be blunt, even if it means facing her wrath.

Don't make excuses, just accept your feelings. Being honest with oneself is an attractive trait. Is the tsundere act getting old now?

"Don't force a frown; otherwise, your expression keeps softening! ...Ah!"

"Ho, so you do have feelings for Siu?"

"...It's not that, I told you it’s to get closer."

Again, the excuses!

I was annoyed, but looking at Louise's chest calmed me down.

"Louise. It's perfectly natural to feel attracted to the opposite sex, even a three-year-old child does it. There's nothing to be ashamed of."

"Um..."

"Moreover, aren't you a knight? Would a knight turn their back on an adversary? You should confront it head-on!"

"...You’re right."

It seems like she and Siu are meant for each other. Only when framed in this way does she understand.

Louise continued to make forced excuses and finally acknowledged her behavior when I mentioned her role as a knight.

Hmm... But seeing her so dejected makes me feel like I've done something wrong. Is this gaslighting? I'm the one scolding her, but I'm also the one feeling guilty. Louise, this formidable woman...

"If you acknowledge it honestly, I'll tell you how you can win Siu’s heart."

"Really?"

"There's no one who knows Siu better than I do. Trust me."

"Hmm... then I'll be honest. As you guessed, I might actually have feelings for him."

Oh, boy. Even when it’s laid out for her, she still plays dumb with her feelings. Wait, no! On second thought, maybe she really doesn't know her own feelings.

Louise is surely a virgin, and Siu might be her first love, right? It's likely she's confused by her first romantic feelings, given she's spent her life swinging a sword.

Then the solution for Louise is this:

"Then don't hide those feelings."

"What? What do you mean?"

"Don't force a stern expression, and just show Siu how you naturally react around him. Let him see that you’re aware of him."

"But... wouldn’t Siu find that strange?"

"On the contrary, he'll love it. Haven't I told you? Siu talks about you every day. If he realizes it's not just him, he’ll definitely show a different side."

Addiction to sex that brings one to the brothel daily is for physical pleasure, not mental. Siu is still vulnerable to a woman's affection.

If Louise takes the initiative, Siu can't help but be conscious of her. And once that stage is set, it's only a matter of time before heated emotions turn into a relationship.

Hmm... Perfect. This consultation was worth every penny.

"Alright! I'll try it your way!"

****

“I... Lady Louise? Are you feeling unwell? If it’s too hard, we can stop training here for today. I’ll take my leave then.”

“......”

“......”

A total failure.

I had misunderstood terribly. Simply being honest about her feelings wasn’t going to solve the issue.

Louise made a bizarre expression, neither smiling nor crying, and Siu, genuinely concerned, then proceeded as usual to the brothel.

“I’ve messed up...”

“Lady Louise...”

And as a result, Louise, deeply shocked, became noticeably depressed and berated herself.

Honestly, it was a bit too much. I told her to show a shy side that she’s conscious of, not a face like an orc’s.

Ah... from afar, it’s a comedy, but up close, it’s a tragedy, isn't it? What a bitterly ironic situation.

It seems I need to change the direction of the training.

Louise’s behavior was akin to a severe case of stage fright around men. Normally, she interacts just fine within groups of men, but as soon as she becomes conscious of a 'man of interest,' she gets overly nervous.

Therefore, she needs to overcome this. She needs to become comfortable around men, precisely around men she feels attracted to, so she can act as confidently with them as she does normally.

“Lady Louise.”

Yes, that’s the real reason. There’s no other.

It’s ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ not because Louise’s chest looks soft, or because I want to see her blush in my arms, or because I slyly want to make her flustered with physical contact. It’s truly for Louise’s sake.

“The situation is more serious than I thought. We need to switch to a more intense form of training. Is that alright with you?”

“Uh... If it will solve the problem, then I’m fine with it.”

“Good. Then, embrace me.”

“...What?!!”

Ah, I’m serious. There’s no better way to get used to men than through firsthand experience.

The question is whether Louise perceives me as a man...

“Hurry!”

“Uh, uuuuh...!”

Seeing Louise already turning beet red, I figured there was nothing to worry about.

As the man thrust vigorously, the bed creaked and shook under the strain. The woman matched his movements with her seductive moans, culminating in the man reaching climax.

“Haah... Siu.”

“Mary... Can we go again?”

“Yes, come here...”

No, it wasn’t the end but a loop as the man resumed his actions and the woman embraced him fully, both reaching their peak naturally with practiced movements.

“Haah! It feels so good!”

“No, go away, aaaaah!”

Finally, as the woman reached her limit, she tightened around the man penetrating her, causing him to climax inside her once more.

The woman enjoyed the afterglow, then bent down to clean the man, her expression radiantly happy.

“Mary, was it good?”

“Hah, slurp... It was wonderful, gulp, Siu...”

“Me too... Today was amazing.”

“Hehe... I’m glad.”

As the woman finished cleaning, the man provided a pillow with his arm, and she leaned on him, sharing words of love. The man seemed utterly smitten, reacting fondly to her every trivial word.

“But Siu... I heard you’ve been spending every day with Lady Louise... She’s really beautiful, isn’t she? A beauty well-suited to you...”

“I only spar with Lady Louise. We part ways as soon as it’s over.”

“Really...! Oh, but maybe you just don’t know her charm yet. If you keep spending time together...”

“Mary, you’re the only one for me right now.”

“Siu! Sob, sob... I’m so happy...”

As the woman cried, the man gently wiped her tears away. They kissed, then intertwined again, their actions continuing until dawn.
