“Kyaaaah, so cute!”
“Nya-ha-ha, how’s its functionality, nya?”
“How much would that cost, I wonder?”
The Nochiruku Highlands Mountain Range cave hideout, to which I had teleported, was now bright in front of the Adventurer Guild counter, as if the magic stones had been replenished. Dolls, a set of three, called “Temptation Ibynantoka,” were placed in place of receptionists, and they chirped loudly.
(…Huh? Are they talking about my naked body?!)
To be precise, my lower half! I’m completely naked, yes. It can’t be helped, and I’m glad the others are dolls.
“Alright, everyone, let’s all take a dip in the hot spring.”
“What? There’s one here?”
“Yes, Mariu and the others have redeveloped it.”
As we went deeper, I could indeed smell the hot spring. Everyone was going, but White Frontbeard had shifted into his human form just before teleporting. The Sexy Diamond Golem had also shrunk a bit, down to about En-chan’s (Ent-Succubus) size.
(Now that I look closely, the Diamond Golem is incredibly detailed, down to the tiny parts.)
Yes, I can’t say more about it.
(I could say it on Kakuyomu though~)
…I feel like I just thought of something strange, but oh well.
“This is it. The red pole is the women’s bath, and the blue pole is the men’s bath.”
“You’re right, they’re properly set up next to the entrance.”
“So, make sure to wash off all the algae thoroughly.”
“Ah, yes!”
“Understood!!”
(I’m relieved that we can bathe separately.)
In the men’s bath, it’s just me and Whitebeard. Everyone else is lining up to enter the women’s bath. But… the Crystal Intelligence Golem is in line too?!
(Well, if the hot spring is big enough for a large beastman, it probably won’t break.)
The changing room is also equipped with magic lights. It’s spacious, with ventilation holes. There’s even a magic tool for circulating air… I can use it after I’m done.
(Since I’m naked, I don’t need to undress.)
White Frontbeard strode further in, and I followed. This side is also spacious! At the same time, I could hear voices from the ceiling, through what looked like ventilation holes.
“Nina-san, Clarice-san, and Helen-san, you all have great figures.”
“Is that so? Nataira, you’ll probably grow bigger soon too.”
“Um, if only I could gain Master Deles’ favor, then I…”
Yup, the conversation from the women’s bath is coming through loud and clear.
“Hey, Beard! Don’t just jump in like that!!”
“Understood!!”
“First, wash yourself off properly over here!”
Honestly, didn’t you learn this at Helen’s nest…
“Washing your body before bathing is my specialty!!”
Saying that, the women of the Dwarves, led by Mariu, entered the men’s bath!
“W-what, this is the men’s bath, the men’s bath!!”
“But the job of washing bodies shouldn’t be gender-specific!”
“I-I’ve heard something like that before, but…”
In my imagination, it would be male employees or slaves washing backs in the women’s bath.
(Of course, in a noble’s mansion, maids would… but that’s a different story.)
First, the group of Dwarf women behind Mariu, there are six of them. They started vigorously washing White Frontbeard, some of them even climbing on him. They’re even using something that looks like shampoo…
“Don’t open your eyes~”
“Understood!!”
As I watched them, Mariu’s hand reached for me!
“Hya?!”
“This is body soap. It’s a little cold, but please bear with it!”
“B-but Mariu, you…”
“It’s okay, I’m just washing your body, *for now*~”
(I was so relieved because the bath was separated by gender!!!)
And so, I was scrubbed thoroughly all over my body.
(H-hee, I’m going to make strange noisesyyyy!!!)
~☆★☆~
*Splashhhhhhh*
“Fuuaaaahhh~~…”
I entered the large, big bathtub. The one-eyed giant with white fur followed…
“You darn shotaconsss~~……”
Why is his tension dropping at the end? It must be because the hot water feels so good. Yes, even after washing so much before entering, there are still quite a few white hairs floating around.
(And the Dwarf group is waiting in the changing room.)
As expected, they’re not joining us. I can still hear happy squeals from the women’s bath, but I’ll try not to listen too closely. Still, this is a wonderfully pleasant hot spring.
“When we’re relaxing like this, it feels like Shear might attack again, doesn’t it, Hobe-chan?”
“I cannot comply!!”
“Right? I wonder where they’re making their nest.”
If only I knew that, I could launch a preemptive strike…
Maybe I could ask the Guild Master about those two bear guys for a prediction.
(Well, training the Bard comes first. There’s no need to rush and attack first.)
Even when attacked recently, the damage has been minimal.
“…”
White Frontbeard closed his eyes, looking content. I playfully parted his white fur to find beautiful pink skin underneath. And as expected, his muscles are incredibly well-defined. It just makes his fluffy fur feel even more comfortable.
“Hofube, is it more comfortable to be washed and soak in the hot spring in your big, round original form rather than this one? No, don’t try to grow bigger right now.”
“Understood! Cannot comply! Understood! Cannot comply! You darn shotaconsss!!!”
Ah, it seems like he doesn’t mind either way. Since he’s a Taming Monster, he probably can’t choose the option to “remain silent.”
“Thank you so much for today. We were able to defeat the ‘Marimo Emperor’ thanks to you, Beard.”
“Understood!!”
“Also, please sometimes let the large, diamond-like, sexy Golem entertain you with its tentacles.”
“Understood!!”
After this kind of men’s heart-to-heart talk in the hot spring, we were sufficiently warmed up and headed to the changing room, where the waiting Dwarves were…!!
“Now, allow us to dry your bodies for you~”
“Ah, yes, thank you.”
“Understood!!”
Just like when they washed us, Whitebeard was handled by all six of them. I was carefully dried all over by Mariu alone. The magic tool-powered breeze felt nice. Whitebeard was even being fed Great Heavenly Tree’s Fruit after his bath!
“Here you are, Master Deles, some cold milk.”
“Ah, thank you. Now that you mention it, I’m hungry.”
“We have prepared Dwarf Hot Pot for you.”
It seems they’re serving me today. If I’m not careful, I might expect a kiss… On the contrary, if I were to kiss them out of gratitude, it might turn on a dangerous switch, so I should refrain.
(Beard is taking a long time to get dried.)
Oh well, I’ll leave first. As I reached into my Item Box to get dressed…!!
“If you mean underwear, we have prepared new ones for you ♪”
“Wh-what! And this time it’s purple, incredibly sexy…”
“Yes, we prepared ones with many pieces, even for women, for Master Deles to wear.”
I was dressed efficiently without mercy, and felt a… dangerous feeling. Well, it’s too late for that now. And I was also dressed in new maid outfit. A spare, you say?
(Mariu has truly become a valuable member of our household.)
When I came out of the changing room, more than half of the women were already waiting. Um, is it taking a long time for the Summoned Monsters and Taming Monsters? Helen isn’t here.
(Nina isn’t here either. I wonder what she’s doing.)
Clarice was the first to greet me.
“That was a very good bath. This hot spring seems to have a high concentration.”
“Ah, yes. Anju-chan and Nastasia-san seemed to enjoy it too.”
“I’m all warm and fuzzy~”
“We’ve cleaned every nook and cranny.”
“Yeah… Huh?!”
Anju-chan is mixed in!
“You know, you know…”
“Yeah, is it lunch break already?”
“It’s after school~”
“Ah, is that the time already?”
No wonder I’m hungry.
“And then, I came to see-”
“See what? Ah, Shear or something?!”
“No, Ric’s group. Where they’re hiding-”
Whaaaaaaat?!!
