The White Witch had sent me to a blacksmith town. (This episode contains some sexually suggestive content. Those who are sensitive can skip it as it won’t significantly affect the story’s progression.)
What kind of being is this witch? In the blink of an eye, I was shown to a room and served tea. The tea snacks on offer looked delicious.
“Hey, what’s your real objective?”
“My real objective? Hmm, killing time, perhaps?”
As she said that, she picked at the sweets. Is she really just killing time? Did she take a liking to me, who survived despite being teleported twice?
“This time too, you said you’d eliminate us, but in the end, you kept us alive. Weren’t you told to kill us by the Dark Elves?”
The witch’s hand paused for a moment. But then she reached for her tea again.
“Well, yes, I was told to. I was angry, but it has nothing to do with me. Oh, right, a hot spring, want to go?”
“Hey, we’re not done talking yet.”
She, as if it were obvious, ignored me and opened the door leading outside. A small open-air bath had been prepared there. I could relax while gazing at the scenery.
Then, the white clothes the witch was wearing began to slip away.
“Eh, wait, you’re undressing here? I’ll step out for a moment.”
Did she use instant transmission? The witch, who had been by the window, grabbed me by the collar from behind. Then, she stripped my clothes off.
“Eek, pervert!”
“Hey, calling a woman a pervert is just cruel!”
With incredible strength, she grabbed my arm and dragged me into the open-air bath.
“Hmph!”
And then, I was unceremoniously thrown into the bath.
“Ouch! What are you doing!”
Startled by being thrown in, I jumped up from the heat, like a comedian. I hastily covered myself with my hands.
“Yes, yes, move aside, I’m coming in too.”
The witch submerged her body in the milky white, rippling water. I couldn’t help but be captivated by her smooth, porcelain-like skin.
“Hehehe, don’t even think about attacking me. It’s impossible.”
“No, I understand that, but…”
I sank into the tub just like her. I felt guilty towards everyone who must be looking for me. They wouldn’t have imagined I’d be doing something like this.
“Thinking hard? You’re quite relaxed.”
With a mischievous smile, the witch moved closer. She rested her hand beside me and leaned forward. Our skin was about to touch. Since we were both naked, I couldn’t push her away.
“Don’t make such a face. Enjoy it while you can.”
Her slender fingers touched my chest. They moved up my body like a snake, all the way to my neck. I felt a shiver run down my spine where she had touched me. I felt a soft sensation on my upper arm. Then, the witch’s slender legs parted mine as she moved closer.
“Th-this is bad. She’s touching me.”
Her breath tickled my ear.
“Heehee, it’s okay to touch a little. A reward for a virgin, or perhaps you’re not one anymore?”
I have to refuse. I have to remember my companions’ faces, their desperate expressions. What comes to mind more strongly is their disappointed faces.
“Arisugawa, you were getting along with another woman while we were desperately searching for you…”
“How despicable. Not only can you not fight, but you’re loose down there too.”
Th-this isn’t so bad… No! It’s no good, I have to get back as soon as possible. I pushed the witch’s shoulder and stood up.
“Don’t be ridiculous. You need to cherish yourself more.”
“Hah, I never thought you’d say something like that. It’s annoying, though.”
I got out of the bath and dried myself. I heard the witch closing the door behind me. When I turned around, she was already back in her white clothes. Then, we ate the luxurious meal that had been brought in. I felt truly sorry for everyone, but it was the best. It was a magnificent course meal, from appetizers to dessert.
Even after dinner, she was still leisurely. It seemed she had no intention of sending me back to my original location. With no other choice, I decided to lie down on the bed and rest. And, as expected, the witch sneaked into the bed, so I kicked her out.
“Wow, that’s harsh! Isn’t it a man’s shame to refuse a prepared meal?”
“Stop teasing me.”
“Ah, that’s right! I get it. You have someone you like, don’t you? Come on, tell me secretly, I won’t tell anyone.”
Honestly, this isn’t a school trip. This time, I ignored her and closed my eyes.
