EP.29 She Put on the High Heels (5)

“Yeah. Actually, I was discharged from the military due to injuries.”

I never thought I would hear about her discharge directly from her so soon.

“You look perfectly fine on the outside, so I didn’t know.”

Discharge due to injuries wasn’t granted to just anyone, so it was clear that Rebecca’s condition had been quite severe.

“Really? Didn’t you find it odd? My friends around my age are just now getting discharged, but I was already working as a teacher at the academy.”

“I thought you were recommended because of your skills.”

“Haha, it’s a bit embarrassing when you put it that way. I enlisted, got seriously injured, and was discharged, but I couldn’t just give up. I actually have a separate goal. To achieve it, I need to go back to the contaminated zones. That’s why I decided to become a teacher at the academy—to undergo rehabilitation training.”

“The academy is indeed a great place for rehabilitation training.”

She drank her liquor in one shot, as if it was hard for her to talk about herself while sober.

“Ah~ It’s sweet.”

“If you’re returning next year, does that mean you’re fully recovered now?”

“Yeah, I’m all better. It wasn’t easy to recover my original skills after getting injured. It took me a whole six years to rehabilitate.”

During those six years, her peers had completed their service.

“That’s impressive. You’ve made a tough choice.”

“Impressive, my foot. I’m just doing what I should have done all along.”

“Being a teacher at the academy isn’t an easy job. You’re giving that up to go back to the battlefield.”

If she had wanted to take the easy route, Rebecca could have continued being a teacher at the academy. Who would blame her for being discharged due to injuries? She had trained numerous students. The fact that she could work as a teacher for six years at the academy showed how competent she was.

“It’s just my own ambition. It’s burdensome when people look at me like I’ve made some grand decision.”

“As a noble, you seem to be setting a great example.”

“Ugh!! Stop!!! Please stop with the compliments!!”

Rebecca squirmed, saying she felt like she was breaking out in hives. I understood her feelings, as I also tended to be suspicious when others praised me. Since she clearly disliked it, I decided to change the subject. It wasn’t hard to think of something she would like to talk about.

“By the way, aren’t you going to try them on? Why don’t you give them a try?”

“Huh?”

“Come on, try them on. I said I’d rent them to you, so don’t just look at them with your eyes. I want to see if the shoes that made you fall for me at first sight are really worth it.”

Rebecca looked at me with a blank expression, as if she hadn’t thought about trying them on despite agreeing to rent them.

“When I hear your words, I suddenly get all fired up.”

Was it because of the liquor or because she thought she could finally wear her own equipment? Rebecca’s face turned extremely lewd, and she licked her lips with her tongue.

‘It might be sex for her.’

Rebecca’s nostrils flared, and she seemed to be getting excited. Did she not know what kind of face she was making?

Rebecca opened the box containing the high heels, unwrapping them like she was undressing a woman. She was clearly savoring each moment, and her skin was covered in goosebumps.

“Hehe…!”

Finally, when the box was open and the high heels appeared before her, she couldn’t contain her excitement and let out a strange, guttural sound.

– Sniff sniff!! –

“Ah…!”

What was I supposed to do with a woman who was so turned on by high heels?

“Hah! Hah!”

“…Do you have some kind of bad feelings towards me?”

“Huh?”

“Why aren’t you putting them on and just touching them?”

And what was with that sound? It was as if she was trying to scare someone away.

I was relieved that I was the only one who saw this.

“Hehe, I think I got a bit carried away. I’ll try to calm down.”

“Stop making unnecessary noises and hurry up and put them on.”

“Just wait. I’m being serious right now. Take a deep breath! Hoo, hoo-!”

“Please stop making that weird breathing sound.”

“Ahh! Don’t disturb me!!”

It was unbelievable that she could make such strange noises and still look like a beauty. If I had made those sounds, I would have been ridiculed as an otaku, but when she did it, it sounded like a sultry moan.

While I was lost in my complicated thoughts, Rebecca finally lifted the high heels and brought them to her feet.

“Ah…! They’re going in… Ahhh! Heehee?!”

“Oh, come on!”

“S-sorry! The fit is so ecstatic that I couldn’t help it.”

Her sensitive soles seemed to be stimulated, causing her to shiver. It was almost… let’s not go there. My shout seemed to make Rebecca grit her teeth and put on the high heels. As if proving they were special equipment, they fit her feet perfectly.

“How do they feel?”

“Ahem, I’ll need to use them to be sure, but for now, they feel amazing… haah!”

“Feeling good isn’t everything.”

“Of course, it’s not just that. I can feel some special power added to them. Haah… they’re so lovely. How can they fit me so well? It’s like they were made just for me.”

Rebecca hit the nail on the head. Unique equipment was designed specifically for the character. But seriously, what’s with the sounds?

“You’re not planning to make those noises every time you wear them, are you? Making such sounds during a battle would be a distraction.”

Other people might not be able to concentrate on the fight because of the noises.

“I know, I know. I need to get used to it. The feeling is so good that I can’t help but make sounds.”

This was the first time I encountered a problem with someone wearing unique equipment. Didn’t this sort of thing never happen in games?

“It’s the first time I’ve seen someone struggle because the fit is too good.”

“I need to endure it… Ah! It’s okay. I can adapt!”

Could there really be someone who couldn’t adapt to their unique equipment?

“It’s a good thing you tried renting them first. If you had bought them and ended up like this, you wouldn’t have been able to return them and would have been frustrated.”

“Return them? What nonsense. I would never do that.”

Rebecca’s possessiveness flared up again, and she showed her determination.

“Let me try again. No, I’ll walk in them.”

“Walk? Are you sure?”

“I’m sure. I can do it.”

Rebecca balanced herself and stood up.

Rebecca walked around slowly, balancing herself well with the click-clack of the heels.

“Are you okay? No, you’re not okay.”

Judging by her expression, she was far from okay.

“Go ahead and make the sound. Your face looks like it’s about to burst.”

“Haah…!”

At my words, Rebecca let out the moan she had been holding back.

“Wow… I’m worried someone might hear that.”

It was unmistakably the moan of a woman experiencing ecstasy. Rebecca had always had a knack for making people feel dangerously attracted to her.

“Sorry… Hoo, hoo. Let me try again!”

Realizing that the sounds she was making were inappropriate, she covered her mouth with her hand and started walking again. But soon enough…

“Phew! I can’t do this anymore. I’ll stop for today.”

She finally declared defeat and quickly took off the high heels. She had acted like she could wear them all day, but just enduring them for a short while had left her drenched in cold sweat.

“…..”

“…..”

What a mess this was, all while we were supposed to be drinking. The impact of the high heels was beyond imagination. Neither of us could easily shake off the aftermath, and we just kept drinking the liquor in front of us.

“Wow. It feels like I just had an intense one-hour workout.”

– Sniff, sniff. –

“Ah! Damn, I smell like sweat. Do you mind if I take a shower?”

It seemed better to change the atmosphere by letting her freshen up rather than awkwardly continuing to drink.

“Of course. Go ahead and shower. You probably don’t have a change of clothes, so should I lend you some of mine?”

“Yes, please. That would be great. Ugh, why am I such a burden today?”

“You bought the item that was giving me a headache, so let’s call it even.”

“Honestly, I’m the one who should be grateful. Such special items are hard to come by, even if you want them.”

In a world where the majority of commoners lived in poverty and a few nobles monopolized wealth and power, there were many wealthy nobles. And for those nobles, military service in the contaminated zones was always a burden. Many of them wanted to equip themselves with the best gear to endure the contaminated zones for ten years.

“You sold me something invaluable that money can’t buy.”

It’s no wonder Rebecca expressed her gratitude, given that nobles spared no expense on equipment. She quickly took the white T-shirt and pants I handed her and dashed into the bathroom.

‘I wonder if the pants will fit.’

Even though she was over 180 cm tall, she wasn’t particularly bulky, so the T-shirt would probably be too big, and the pants would be loose at the waist. I figured she’d manage and started cleaning up the empty bottles and reheating the snacks to place on the table.

‘She’ll probably want to drink more, right?’

Considering Rebecca’s usual drinking capacity, she hadn’t even started yet. The strange noises she made had sobered me up, so I needed to start drinking again.

“Maybe we’ll run out of alcohol.”

I wanted to buy more, but there were no nearby taverns selling alcohol, so we’d have to make do with what we had.

Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Rebecca…

was pulling her hair out.

“Crazy… crazy… crazy… crazy….”

What was she thinking, feeling that way there? No matter how good it felt, completely losing herself was crossing the line. And she wasn’t even alone.

The reason she was sweating so much was because she was trying hard to hide the fact that she had climaxed.

‘It’s wet down there.’

Feeling a sense of dread, she quickly stripped off her clothes. As expected, her underwear was a mess. It was beyond salvaging, no matter how much she tried to clean it.

‘Ahhh!!! I’m crazy!!! I’m a crazy woman~!!!’

In reality, it was the high heels that had caused this situation, so it wouldn’t have been strange to curse the equipment. But instead, she blamed herself for not being able to hold back.

She shouldn’t have tried to walk in them so soon. If she had taken her time to get used to them, she wouldn’t have embarrassed herself in front of her friend.

She had been so excited about getting equipment she loved that she lost her sense of judgment.

“Ugh… How am I supposed to face him?”

No matter how cheerful and easygoing a person was, it was impossible to recover quickly after doing something like that in front of a friend.
