She returns in 2 days.
I have to prepare for it. Even after promising that I will treat and forming a contract. Whether I can treat her or not decides my fate going forward. The system pulled me into the situation and it better give me the method to get out of it.
Lets prepare for d-day.
I sat up on the bed. Status.

CONTRACT
Arielle Arkenfall [ACTIVE]
My age is showing 23, i had doubt now its confirmed my physical and real has changed. SYSTEM STORE.
In the system store there were two sections, a coin store and a bond store. I opened the bond store.
[ Items purchased in a bond store can be only used on or for the chosen subject.]
It contained only one item [Calm tide breathing.] which is priced at 50Bp. There is no other option to buy things. Lets buy it.

CANNOT BE READ, COPIED OR TRANSFERRED. OPEN ONLY FOR THE BOUND INDIVIDUAL. KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER AUTOMATICALLY UPON OPENING. NO STUDY REQUIRED
EFFECT
REDUCES MANA AGITATION BY 15%, SLOWS CORE DETERIORATION RATE,STABILIZES BASELINE MANA FLOW.
I received a thousand coins for surviving a near death situation. My first priority should be tools that will help me in my job and second something for self defense. The shop doesn't have anything lethal but there has to be some non lethal weapon like taser, blowgun,something to protect myself.
Moving to the medical tools section. The grimoire will help her in mana related problems. My first priority should be treating her muscle condition for topical analgesic gel, percussion massager, TENS unit. Medical compression.
System store.
[PURCHASED — Topical analgesic gel (40 COINS ) — numbs surface pain so her muscles don't involuntarily resist during treatment ]
[PURCHASED — Percussion massager (90 COINS) — clears the path for deeper work]
[PURCHASED — TENS unit (140 COINS) — now that surface tension is reduced, electrical stimulation can reach the deep tissue layers closest to the channel walls]
[PURCHASED — Medical compression (50 COINS) — locks treated muscles in the relaxed position while tissue recovers ]
[PURCHASED — Muscle relaxant patches x 5 (50 COINS) — sustains the relaxed state overnight so muscles don't re-seize before next session ]
[ YOU RECEIVED MANA — CONVERSION BATTERY PACK.]
I didn't think about the electricity problem, thank you system.
This completes the preparation for the treatment part. Now its turn for the self defense part. If I have a mana conversion battery pack it is better to use one electric weapon like a taser. But it's a place filled with magic and strong people. At least stronger than me. A real gun would have been better but…
I scrolled through the miscellaneous section. Found it.
[PURCHASED — Compact Pneumatic Launcher — 200 Coins]
Less-lethal. CO2 powered. .68 caliber. 60 feet effective range. 22 shots per cartridge.
[PURCHASED — CO2 Cartridges x5 — 50 Coins]
[PURCHASED — Kinetic Rounds x20 — 30 Coins]
Blunt impact. Pain compliance. Non-penetrating.
[PURCHASED — Pepper Rounds x20 — 30 Coins]
Chemical irritant. 3-foot radius. Temporary blindness 15 to 30 minutes.
[PURCHASED — Steel Kinetic Rounds x20 — 40 Coins]
Hardened metal. Bone fracture risk. Penetration risk under 15 feet.
⚠ Potentially lethal.
[PURCHASED — Taser Gun — 110 Coins]
That leaves me with 160 coins. I spent too much. Let's hope I can recover the coins faster than I think.
I can properly utilize the anatomical sight. But I need someone to test the other two skills. Kierra let's try asking her.
— — x — —
I went on the journey to find kierra after completing my work. Despite being a small mansion it has more than 12 rooms. How does six maids manage the whole mansion? I tried asking other maids but they also didn't know where she was but despite that my search continued.
The last place is the library.
The sheer amount of books made me delay my search for her. I browsed through the book, picked up one. DEPTH OF ARKENFALL — third edition. — compiled by the Royal Institute of Magical Research,Arkenfall. Sat and started to read it page by page. It contained every detail about dungeon formation,floor classification,monster core and their economy, mana ecology, explorer guilds and most catastrophic incidents that have taken place.
I spend hours reading them. Now hoping she will come to find me.
“What are you reading about?” The voice was of kierra.
“Reading about dungeons of Arkenfall.” I said, My focus remained on the book.
“Why?”
‘Well. I was trying to find you,came across the books while reading and waited for you to come to me.“
“And why are you trying to find me?”
I put down the book where I picked it from and came to her and said. “Do you want to eat another sweet?”
She instinctively put some distance between us. “If you try to touch my tails, I will carve your face.”
“No, not the tail things. I want to try a new healing method which I will be performing on the princess. Will you help me.”
“If it will help me the princess then ok.”
“Let me tell you something since you agreed, once it's a hand down method. Which means I will have to touch you and direct skin contact.”
“I have no problem with that.”
Does she understand she will have no clothes on?
I somehow managed to convince her that she has to lay down naked, which is absolutely not true, you have to show them just where you are injured. But who's gonna tell her you. Not a chance.
whether i want it or not she will relay all the conversation we had to the princess. If I show her that my method is genuine maybe it can remove any reservation she has regarding the treatment.
Let's not do anything perverted and focus on treating her even though she has no problems. I can just perform a simple massage, those obnoxious old men didn't even understand the difference between a physical therapist and a massage therapist. On, advice of a senior, I joined an accelerated program to learn it. At least they paid well.
Wait. Were they gay. Shit.
“When I touch you don't stiffen your muscles, just let your body relax.”
“Ok.”
Activated my anatomical sight. I scanned her whole body and it showed what I wanted to watch. Muscles,nerves there are some places where the muscles have darker tone than the regular muscles. Putting a finger on her thigh just above her knee does she have any type there..
She nodded.
Pouring lavender oil on her thighs, activated my full body restoration skill and started massaging her thighs. My mana started to deplete slowly and the darker tone is beginning to lessen slowly. Once the skill's vital resonance is activated my stamina also starts to deplete.
I repeated the process in every part of her body where I saw a problem. Along with the massage I was talking with her and taking her feedback.
The treatment and experiment part is complete. I will spare you this time.
“It's complete. Now how does your body feel.”
She sat up covering her breast with the bed sheet, as she stretched her hands and rotated her body my eyes were solely focused on her chest. Her boobs were not overly large.they were proportionate to the body. With my sheer experience and expertise I can say they were very soft.
“My eyes are up here.” kierra said,
“I am just taking my fees.” I handed over her dress and turned my back towards her. “Now tell me.”
“You are a genuine healer, your method is perverted but my body feels lighter. All my exhaustion is gone and my muscles don't feel tense anymore.”
“You should take a bath to wash away the oil on your body.”
She came in front of me fully dressed. And said, “Now as I have helped you. You better make me that sweet tomorrow.”
“You agreed because it will help the princess. You didn't mention anything about sweets. But if you agree to…”
She left stomping her foot.
