Help, I'm in Another World and All the Men Are Are So Dangerous! [BL]-Chapter 239: The Kissing Counterattack

Hmph!

Take this—!

The Kissing Counterattack!!

"Mmph—! Mmm—! Chu!"

As Laxus aggressively nibbled at his cheeks with kisses, Rocco suddenly struck back—

Right on the lips.

SMACK.

Laxus immediately went frozen.

And to seal the deal—

Rocco sneakily gave his lips a quick puppy-like lick.

Complete. Stillness.

Laxus’s movements came to a halt.

Taking advantage of the momentary paralysis, Rocco grabbed both of Laxus’s cheeks and squishhh!—

Firmly squishing them together, ensuring no further kissing attacks from him could happen.

With Laxus stuck in a daze, eyes wide and blank, Rocco smirked mischievously.

"Heheh! See? Surprised you, huh?!"

That’s what happens when you suddenly start kissing someone out of nowhere!

Rocco had meant it as a lesson—don’t do surprise kisses, or this will happen!

However—

It seemed like the message didn’t quite get through.

Instead of a guilty apology, what he received in response was—

A deep blush.

And an incredibly delighted smile.

"R-Rocco— Roccoooooo!!"

"Uhyah!? W-what?! Mmph—!?"

In a split second—

The kissing counterattack had backfired.

Hard.

The kiss assault returned tenfold.

This time, it wasn’t just kisses—

Laxus’s lips pressed harder, and then—

His tongue—

Oh no—

"Wha—! Hnnghh—?! Mmhh—!!"

The kisses turned deeper.

Instead of stopping at Rocco’s lips, Laxus licked inside, teasing, tracing every inch—

As if trying to devour him whole.

He’s gonna suck my tongue off—!!

His teeth were traced, his lips were left dripping like they had been dipped in water—

Rocco was left utterly wrecked.

By the time Rocco was finally released from the kiss, his entire body was limp with exhaustion.

He slumped forward, completely spent, while Laxus cheerfully adjusted his hold, looking delighted.

When Rocco weakly tilted his head up to gaze at Laxus, the man responded with a beaming smile, as if a field of flowers were about to bloom around him.

"I’m so happy, Rocco! You love me that much, huh? This totally means we’re in love with each other!"

Rocco blinked, feeling a vague sense of unease.

He had only returned the kisses on a whim, but somehow, it seemed he had caused a massive misunderstanding.

No, to be fair, Laxus had already been misunderstanding things for quite some time.

However, now... now it felt like they had reached a point of no return.

Hmm... Well, even so, it wasn’t like he disliked Laxus’s kisses.

In fact, being held like this—warm and secure—was actually something he rather enjoyed.

Since he wasn’t exactly suffering any ill effects, maybe it wasn’t worth worrying about too much.

Just as he nodded his head to himself in conclusion, Laxus suddenly pinched his cheek and whispered,

"Hey, Rocco. It’s still too early for the real thing, but... how about we touch each other tonight? And, you know, take a bath together? I wanna wash your body."

At the unexpected suggestion, Rocco tilted his head in confusion.

"Hmm?"

A bath together? Oh! Did he mean that thing? What was it called again? Oh yeah, that’s right!

"You mean ’naked bonding,’ right? That sounds great! Let’s bathe together!"

Men bathing together, sharing their true feelings... the ultimate way to deepen a friendship—naked bonding!

Laxus was already a close companion, but he wanted to get even closer?

How adorable.

Well, it wasn’t like Rocco didn’t want that too!

Feeling rather pleased with himself, Rocco puffed out his chest.

However, when Laxus looked down at him, the man suddenly started trembling, his head lowered as if trying to contain something.

What was going on?

Just as Rocco blinked in confusion, Laxus abruptly shot his head up, his face now completely flushed red.

"R-Rocco! Are you seriously thinking that far ahead!? Are you already prepared to accept me—even with that tiny body of yours!? I-I can’t take it! I love you so much!"

"...Uh. I-I don’t really get it, but calm down, okay?"

What was this? What was even happening?

Laxus had started spouting some rapid-fire nonsense, and it was all too much for Rocco to process.

As the man continued his bizarre outburst, Rocco let out a small sigh and reached up to pat Laxus’s head in an attempt to soothe him.

Oh, right! That always worked whenever Laxus got like this.

With a practiced motion, Rocco reached for Laxus’s cheeks and gave them a soft squeeze.

Then—

"Mwah."

"Alright, you’ve calmed down. Crisis averted."

Laxus, now completely silent, simply stared at him in shock.

Laxus had frozen stiff for a moment after experiencing Rocco’s secret technique—the "kissing counterattack."

However, just seconds later, his eyes burned with intensity, and he suddenly bolted toward the bathhouse at full speed.

The sheer determination radiating from him was a little terrifying.

Had Rocco completely miscalculated his response?

A bad feeling crept over him, but at this point, it was already too late.

Resigning himself to his fate, he simply let Laxus carry him without resistance.

...

The Del Fiore family’s bathhouse was enormous.

It was spacious enough to swim in, with towering ceilings and several massive pillars standing firm.

Stone wolf statues were placed throughout the room, giving the place a grand, almost public-bath-like atmosphere.

Although it seemed large enough to accommodate dozens of people, only members of the Del Fiore family were allowed to bathe here.

That made Rocco pause.

"Wait... doesn’t that mean I’m not allowed in?" he asked.

Laxus tilted his head in confusion before responding with a casual, "Huh? Why not? You’re also part of the Del Fiore family, right?"

That... made no sense.

A flurry of question marks practically popped up above Rocco’s head.

However, in the end, he settled on the explanation that "We’re as close as family, so it’s fine."

The way Laxus said it, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, left Rocco feeling genuinely bewildered.

Well, whatever. Right now, the bath took priority!

For Rocco, his idea of a bath came from hospital facilities—plain, clinical, and nothing special.

In his past life, he had always longed to visit a traditional inn, a hot spring, or even a public bath.
