"Uwaahh… That feels nice… Thank you, Drake…" she sighed in relief, as I continued to gently use my hands to massage her back.
I was able to use mana to make my massages even more effective, unleashing the power of mana around her tensed up and sore muscles, I was able to make them relax once more rather well, and Benladann smiled sweetly at this.
And yeah, Miranda was right, it was due to her weight that she felt like this, the belly was making her back get curved, which caused her pain the more things she did while walking around.
She ended cooking with us so she did a lot around the kitchen and ended putting a lot of stress over her back… I would prefer for her to rest for the rest of the day, she doesn't really need to push herself so hard.
"You'll be resting for the rest of the day, okay? I don't want you to push yourself hard." I said.
"Eh? Sure… But after eating lunch…" said Benladann.
"Okay, okay, after eating lunch…" I said.
I continued to massage her back for many more minutes, until the food was mostly ready. Using this mana to massage, I quickly realized I had learned some sort of technique using my hands.
There is such a thing as massaging techniques? I glanced at Benladann and noticed how well she felt now, she even seemed healthier and more energetic, but also relaxed. Her eyes showed pure bliss as she thanked me.
"Uwah… You're so good at massaging, dearie… Was this your hidden talent?" she asked.
"I-I don't know… I never knew I could do this…" I said.
Ding!
<Enough Proficiency has been accumulated>
<You learned the [Spiritual Massage Technique: Level 1] Skill>
Wait, what? Is this for real? System, you're kidding me again with this kind of stuff?
<No, your proficiency was enough to learn this Skill… Also remember that asking me won't resolve anything, I am actually not the one that created the Skill, the system itself did…>
Ah… Okay, okay, I get it. I won't blame you for it, I should blame myself…
I am not whining, I just felt weirded out a little bit, also, these are my thoughts, that you're barging on them is not my problem, everyone can think whatever they want to, right? So I am just having my own thoughts. If you dislike them, stop hearing them so much…
She seemed to sigh as if being disappointed by me…
Anyways, to pass the time I decided to check the Skill itself.
…
[Spiritual Massage Technique: Level 1]

Each level increases the power of your massages by +20%.
…
It was a good Skill, I see. It helped me in doing just this…!
I began massaging Benladann's shoulders, the ones that were the hardest to make relax and lose tension, they suddenly glowed with bright light, as if my hands had become amazingly dexterous.
With just this Skill my amazing usage of massages had been nurtured into a new Skill, how interesting. With this Skill, I can get to use my massages and enhance their power to an even higher degree, each level grants an enhancement in their power and effects by +20%!
That's a whole lot of enhancements! It had made of my amazing hands an even more dexterous weapon to attack the bodies of the ones that require to relax and take it easy for a bit.
"Uwaaahhh~ M-My shoulders feel so good…!" cried Benladann, almost spooking someone else walking by.
"C-Calm down for a bit…" I told her.
"Oh! My bad…" she apologized.
"So you've gotten amazing at massages over a few minutes?!" asked Miranda.
"I don't know how much maybe I always had the knack for massages, I did a pretty splendid job if I do say so myself…" I said pridefully.
The girls looked at me without realizing that I had already become more than just that, I had become a massage grand master. With this, I can easily see the girls begging for my massages as they see the amazing techniques I will soon polish and utilize even more from now on!
Though I wonder if Miranda can be affected by them…
"It was so good! I wish I could get these all day, since I am pregnant that I get this back pain…" sighed Benladann.
"Don't worry, I shall massage you every day." I said.
This is just but a small taste of the amazing abilities within these hands, Benladann! As they day passes, I will slowly become better and better at this, don't you forget it!
After this entire stupid turn of events, we moved swiftly into the room and Belle woke up once more.
The slimes I left healing her while she slept were completely gone now. These slimes only have a certain amount of energy, when they consume it a lot, they slowly reduce their size until turning into dust and dissipating.
"Oooh! That's a lot of food! Thank you, Drake, Benladann! It really means a lot to me!" said Belle.
She began to quickly dig in into the food, the grilled meat was tasty and juicy, the fish was just good as well, the rice was puffy and comfortable to eat with the more flavorful meals. The soup was refreshing and filled with so many flavors, and everything else was just as good…
