## Chapter 271 – Counterattack (22)
About a month had passed since then.
If there were any changes or events during that time, the specialization period would certainly be among them.
Originally, this was the time for the engineering students’ research presentation, combined with the submission of assignments.
Unfortunately, the presentation was not held as scheduled.
Instead, a voluntary presentation session was held for students who wished to present, allowing those who wanted to present existing research or those with fresh ideas or theories to share their results.
“As I mentioned earlier, according to this theory…
You can see that the forging efficiency of the armor increases…!!”
Fortunately, many students filled the void, and among them, Lucas, Carla’s almost-boyfriend, gave a pretty decent presentation.
Originally from the Groden Kingdom, not the main source of forging studies, Barmhausen.
He wasn’t expected to do much, but the new method of enhancing armor forging efficiency that he presented worked on a simple yet unique principle.
Perhaps he got the idea while helping Carla with the liquid metal processing, as he presented a unique method of using liquid metal in the forging and post-processing stages.
Liquid metal doesn’t mix with other metals during the forging process, but it fills the micro-cracks created during processing, increasing the final specs of the armor like an alloy, and increasing the molecular density of swords.
It even allowed for the simplest imitation of Barmhausen’s single-molecule technology, albeit somewhat crude.
If this were supplied to the warriors fighting on the front lines, mixing support and self-sufficiency, it seemed likely to create a significant additional effect.
“You did it, Lucas!!”
“That guy is someone I fostered!!”
“Whoo-hoo!! Whee-hee!!”
Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the engineers who encountered the unique new theory and its experiment, the eyes of others watching were filled with regret.
“Too bad, Carla…
Carla could have presented too…”
“There’s not enough time to reorganize the paper and data…
We don’t have enough time for re-experimentation, so it can’t be helped…?”
Since the experimental process itself was in her head, all that was needed was to verify it.
Nevertheless, the number of experiments required for verification was not insignificant, making it impossible to carry them out within the deadline.
“It’s okay…!! Lucas represented me with liquid metal…!!
I can show my potential next time…”
Fortunately, Lucas’s presentation materials and most of the data being presented were able to return to the academy thanks to the efforts of Carla and her group.
However, Carla, Yui, Hyeryung, and Eloise didn’t have much left.
A month ago, after raiding Laratina’s secret house to recover the data, they decided to check the surrounding accommodations for any remaining Laratina’s henchmen before returning the data. They gathered and secretly smuggled the various data they had collected into the academy.
Wanting to recover from their injuries and exhaustion, they returned to the main building and entered Carla’s workshop.
“Is it going to sting…? Sting?”
“Ugh…!! Ah…!!
Aah!! It hurts…”
Carla’s workshop was also a place where Hyeryung and Yui had their own space, so Yui was using the well-maintained tools there to treat minor injuries.
Eloise, who had exhausted herself in the magic battle, was actually the least injured.
Thinking that a bed was the answer for her exhaustion, the girls dropped her off in the first-floor lounge and went upstairs, each tending to their own injuries.
Of course, with the departments of medicine and pharmacy existing, and Hyeryung, who was nominally in the pharmacy department, had already finished her treatment, so Yui was practically the only one taking care of Carla.
“Not done yet?
Missy is more of a crybaby than I thought?”
“Sniff… Huhu… It’s torn…
But… But…!!
Yui is… Yui is…”
Hyeryung, who had changed out of her stifling black undercover clothes and was wearing a spare school uniform, approached Carla with a look of ‘what on earth is going on,’ as Carla was crying as if she had lost her country.
“Yui is sewing my arm like our mother embroidering a handkerchief…!!”
Seeing Yui sewing up Carla’s arm, Hyeryung sighed in disbelief.
“That’s how it heals better, right?
Look. I was thrown and hit by that guy too, right?
I already did that sewing thing too, right?
There’s a saying in our family motto.
‘Give what you have to give.’
You have to do it if you need to, right?”
Even such a ruthless woman who had poisoned four men in an instant was perhaps weakened by the family of the man she liked.
Hyeryung had been pushed away while rushing at the enemy mage in Carla’s place, and her calf had been hit by the corner of a sharp piece of furniture.
Hyeryung lifted her skirt slightly to show her calf, using it to soothe the sobbing Carla.
“Huhu… Ouch…!!”
“Carla? Don’t move!!”
But the effect was minimal.
Seeing Carla flinching every time the needle pierced her skin, Hyeryung sighed and turned to look at Yui.
“Kazunomiya, you squashed that blood on the floor with your butt, right?
I neutralized it roughly with medicine earlier, but you need to wash it off properly once.
With water boiled with five leaves of Sumang grass and Ganro mushrooms…
No, after that, just take off your clothes and come to the bathroom.”
Yui, who was sewing up Carla’s arm, flinched at Hyeryung’s words and turned her creaking head to look at Hyeryung.
“W-Why take off my clothes…?”
“Huh? You’re not asking because you don’t know, are you?
You’re not thinking of washing with them on, are you?
I’m saying I’ll take care of your big butt myself, right?
You’re not thinking of not treating it, are you?
And you have to burn those clothes too.
Forget about washing them and wearing them again.”
Since she had squashed the blood of the poisoned thugs with her butt, she had to wash it off properly with medicine.
There was no way Yui, who was in the department of medicine, wouldn’t know that, so Hyeryung raised her eyebrows as if she was taken aback and began to look at her.
But soon, Hyeryung raised the corners of her lips and asked a new question, causing Yui to jump and deny it.
“Or are you… embarrassed right now?
It’s for ‘medical purposes,’ so go read the medical oath again.
You’re such a lewd girl pretending not to be…”
Hyeryung, who was wearing only clothes without even underwear, was making such remarks with such a seductive expression.
Anyone would have felt physiologically embarrassed, so Yui rationalized and eventually had to continue her answer in a subdued voice.
It was only natural that she had to do what she had to do.
“U-Ugh…
Lewd…!!
T-That’s not it…!!
I… I know everything too…
I-I’ll wash it…”
Even so, the hand that was sewing up Carla’s wound didn’t move at all, so was that a great sense of professionalism in its own way?
“You should have said so sooner.”
Seeing Hyeryung returning to her seat and starting to brew something that looked like medicinal water, Yui slowly took off the clothes she was wearing.
She was already feeling uncomfortable and wanted to change into clean clothes quickly.
But after all, it wasn’t the bathroom at home, but just a workshop in the work building, so she was a little uncomfortable with being completely naked in this place.
Yui, who stretched out a long piece of medical cotton cloth and covered her front, silently followed Hyeryung, who had already prepared the medicinal water, into the bathroom.
Fortunately, the bathroom had bathing facilities and even sterilizing equipment, as if anticipating various situations.
It was a scene reminiscent of the practice floor of the medical building.
However, the difference was that it was newly built and had a strong sense of newness.
‘I really get to use this…’
It was fortunate that Hyeryung had spent so much money on it.
Hyeryung, who raised her eyebrows at the opportunity to use such facilities, soon entered the bathing facilities, held a hose in her hand, and turned to look at Yui.
“What are you doing? The towel will get wet, right?
I’m not going to eat you, so put that down and come here.”
“Umm… Okay…”
Yui hung the cotton cloth on the towel rack next to her and walked forward, her soft breasts swaying.
Hyeryung, who didn’t even look at her, put on medical gloves and fiddled with the controls, and soon held a hose in her hand with a moderate stream of water flowing out and checked the water temperature.
“Okay. Put your butt here.”
“Hyeryung… please choose your words…”
“Huh? Who told you to be so ignorantly big?
Consider yourself lucky that I’m not calling you a pseudo-boob.”
“Ugh…”
Yui, who lost even the ability to answer to her answer that made her lose even the ability to answer, just showed her her butt to Hyeryung.
Hyeryung, as if she was frustrated with Yui’s slightly passive appearance, put the hose between her fingers and grabbed her butt, turning her towards herself.
“I’ve seen it a lot during practice anyway.
Are you trying to feel something?
I’m not even curious about the shape of your ambush-type labia.
So stick it out properly so I can wash it…”
Yui’s tightly closed lips were trembling at Hyeryung’s voice, which stopped for a moment and then continued.
Certainly, Hyeryung’s words were not wrong.
But wasn’t it natural that she felt ashamed?
Only the labia majora, called the mound, was greatly exposed, and rather, the labia minora was thinly buried inside, and even when opened in a tightly closed form, only the hole was exposed without any obstructive wings.
Of course, men would drool over its neat and cute shape, and thanks to that, Enic even enjoyed her body to his heart’s content.
Still, with each word of Hyeryung’s that defined it with an accurate diagnosis, Yui’s face was turning redder and redder as if it would burst.
“I’ll spray water first.
It won’t be cold, so don’t move.”
The stream of water pouring on her plump butt and the delicate touch of stroking her butt as if dividing the stream of water.
But was it just her imagination that she felt like she was touching the upper part of her butt, which was in contact with her waist, a little more?
“Hyeryung… that…”
“I’m concentrating. Stay still.”
It felt like she was showing Hyeryung’s unique personality, as if she wouldn’t do anything halfway.
Stroking every part of her plump butt that stuck to her palm, Hyeryung’s touch, which washed away everything that could be called foreign substances, made Yui just close her eyes tightly and hope that the current embarrassing situation would pass quickly.
“First wash complete. Injecting medicinal water?
This might sting a little.”
At Hyeryung’s words that she would pour in medicinal water that had a detoxification effect on the poison she used, Yui shook her head up and down greatly with her lips tightly closed.
“Huhu…”
With the warm stream of water flowing down from the slightly slippery bucket, and the touch of gently stroking her skin.
Just as Yui was about to cover her mouth to stifle the moan that was inevitably coming out due to the situation.
Suddenly, Hyeryung grabbed the back of Yui’s neck and knocked her down to the floor, preventing her from getting up, just enough to not seriously injure her, causing Yui’s surprised eyes to widen.
As Yui, who was moaning softly at the tingling sensation felt from her chin hitting the floor, was about to shout at Hyeryung, who had completely subdued her.
“Ahhk…!! What is this…!!”
“Explain, Kazunomiya.
What’s this on your back…?”
