I asked an Ancient Dragonkin how to get to the magic island. (This episode contains some sexual content. If you are not comfortable with it, you don’t need to read it, as it will not significantly affect the story’s progression.)
Well, I have a little time before dinner. I think I’ll take a nap for the first time in a while. I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t been able to rest at all. I was able to rest in the Bugfolk village, but I was injured then. The wounds from the battle with Gulf still remain. I’m surprised I’ve recovered this far without going to the hospital. The vitality of animals is quite amazing.
I wonder how Gulf is doing now. Elana said Berserkers don’t last long, but I hope my choice not to kill him then wasn’t a mistake.
As I was spacing out, I heard a knock at the door. When I opened it, an Earth Dragon man was standing there.
“Good evening, Brave Hero and your party. You must be tired from your long journey, so please take a bath. This is a message from the Princess.”
“A bath? Is that okay? Hey everyone, we can take a bath!”
“Really?!” Nina exclaimed, shoving me aside and latching onto the man’s words.
“Y-yes. Please come to the palace when preparations are complete.”
“Yay! Everyone, let’s go!”
The man bowed and left. It seems that selfish princess has her good points, after all. This really got me excited. And a bath in the palace must be huge, right? Even if I have to share with other servants, there should be plenty of space.
“Take Piyo with us too.”
“Yes, come on Piyo-chan, let’s go!” Philiana said, scooping up a reluctant Piyo and heading towards the palace. I followed behind. When we arrived, servants were waiting for us. They seemed to be guiding us to separate areas for men and women.
“The men’s area is this way. This is normally where we bathe, but please feel free to relax.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
Just as I thought, the palace bath is quite large. The construction is simple, but that’s not a problem. When you’re traveling for so long, there are times when you can’t wash your body for days. Traveling in the desert was the worst. Water was so precious that bathing was a luxury, and I couldn’t even take a shower.
What I’m most happy about is being able to spend some quiet time alone. I enjoy being with everyone, but sometimes I get tired of being with girls.
I reached for the bathroom door. The rising steam and the scent of bath bombs…
“It’s here! It’s here!”
“Kyaaa! I saw it!”
“Quiet down a little, please.”
I closed it once. Wait, did I get the men’s and women’s baths mixed up? But I was definitely guided to the men’s bath. I gently opened it again.
“Welcome, Hero! We’ve been expecting you!”
They were still there. A female Dragonkin, and not just one. What on earth were they doing here?
“Um, this is for men, right?”
“Yes, it’s reserved for you, Hero, at this time. So, we will wash you.”
I’m grateful, but I wanted to spend some quiet time right now. The women were covering themselves with thin cloths, but they were sticking to their bodies due to the moisture, making them transparent.
“Please, come this way.”
I sat on a chair as I was told. From behind, I could hear voices exclaiming about the terrible scars. They say scars are a man’s medal, but these were just unavoidable.
The attendants poured hot water on me with buckets. It was warm and felt good, but I wanted to soak in the bath. Still, my eyes didn’t know where to look. The well-built Earth Dragons tend to have quite large chests. Though it’s hard to see because of their tails, their hips are also large. They have sturdy builds.
Oh, I shouldn’t stare at people’s bodies like that. It’s rude. But I’ve been feeling intense stares since a moment ago.
“Um, do you do this every time you have a guest?”
“No, this is special. The Princess suggested we try it. Hehe, I’m so embarrassed.”
Even as she said that, her eyes were fixed on me.
“There are many better-looking men than me.”
Male Dragonkin are generally very robust. As an average human, I look rather small here.
“We are generally quite reserved when it comes to sexual matters. But since the Princess is keeping silent about it…”
“We’ll do it without hesitation.”
I wish you would hesitate. Before they could listen to my opinion, they all pounced on me at once. Their rough scales felt painful against my skin. The women, these Earth Dragons, have horns growing from their shoulders, and their arms are covered in hard scales.
But their chests are soft.
“How is it, Hero?”
Looking up at me with their big eyes, I couldn’t resist. Ah, a man’s desire is hard to go against. The slippery soap caused my hand to inadvertently slip under the cloth.
“Ah! Just …!”
“Kyaaa! You touched me!”
“S-sorry.”
I suppressed a smile and apologized. Azura, you will be the greatest king someday. I had a similar accident in a bath before, but that was with a Vampire, so I don’t really want to remember it. But this time is different. I can enjoy myself without reservation, um, I can relax. Sigh… I don’t know what drives them to this extent, but I’ll gratefully accept this gift.
Afterward, I returned exhausted and was scolded by Nina for taking too long of a bath.
