A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 137: Do you have a bath? Number one.

It was a day with nothing to note.

As usual, she wakes up with the sunrise, cooks breakfast in her home kitchen, and takes Eliza and the others on a quest.

With regard to the request, since there is a dwarf group near the Laval Waste City, I was asked to investigate whether there is anything unusual in the vicinity.

Reurus wondered if he needed an escort for the farmer, but with the return of Reurus, the junior monsters could no longer get close enough.

It seems that there are no monsters who try to turn into instant ingredients, so I was asked to investigate the surroundings of Laval Waste City. In the process, I was told to hunt as many monsters as I could, so it was a revulsion that departed with pride.

However, there was no particular problem with this request. I ran around the area of Laval Waste City and found no abnormalities or shards.

On the way away from Eliza and Meer, I only took Sarah out to find the monster and took out about three horny rabbits.

It is necessary to receive the same request for a few days after the investigation, but Reurus also thought that the dishes for dinner were just an increase.

I had Dominic's restaurant bring me horny rabbit meat to cook, and I was delighted with the increased amount of dinner and then relaxed at home.

Concom, the sound of banging on the front door sounds. Reurus, who was relaxing in the living room, raised his face to the sound and turned to the front door.

In the living room, there is a four-seater table and four-legged chairs, each sitting in a chair and laughing, but suddenly they are interrupted.

"Hmm? Who the hell are you?

"It's unusual. Could it be Corona?

"Well, what would you say at the dinner earlier?

Eliza and the others were leaning, but in a similar mood as Reurus. However, if there is anything different from Eliza's, Reurus feels the magic passing through the door.

(... who is it?

There are not many magicians in the abandoned city of Laval. Recently, the number of dwarves has increased at once because of the presence of dwarves, but the dwarves will not bother knocking. Even if I knocked, it would get rougher.

As far as Reurus knows, there are only six magicians except Dwarf and Eliza. Six men: Nicolas and Sharon, Dominic and Bartolo, Zilba and Esther.

(I can't hold back anymore just by secretly offering prayers, so I want you to go home... what did Gilba say?

Reurus stood up from the chair and walked towards the door. Around the time I knocked, if I opened the door, there wouldn't be a Gregorian standing. However, since he could not be alarmed, Reurus shouted while holding the handle of the dagger.

"Yes, yes, who?

"... me"

However, I tilted my neck in spite of the reaction I received. Reurus looks behind, but Mea shakes her neck silently.

(Does that mean... senpai Sharon?

When I opened the door a little, Sharon stood there as expected. In addition to his usual wizard costume, he is holding a wand - and for some reason he is holding a caged object on his side.

Inside the cage were clothes and towel-like cloths, and Reurus looked at Sharon's face wonderfully.

"Er... Senpai Sharon, are you feeling better now? Nicolas told me you ate, didn't he?

In the meantime, Reurus narrows the subject down. That's what I was supposed to say when I met Nicolas the other day, and it wasn't enough to go visit her. Still, there is no change to what I worried about.

"... around the food? Ah... yes, it was around the table. But it's okay now."

For some reason it was Sharon who tilted his neck, but nodded immediately. However, the cheek was slightly drawn. Reurus was able to swim a little from such a Sharon's reaction, but quickly connected to other topics.

"What, that? Aren't you with Nicolas?

"My brother drank at Dominic's. I was drinking compared to Calvin when I saw it earlier."

"No matter how much Senpai Nicolas drinks, it's reckless to compare it to a dwarf opponent...."

Sharon seemed relieved that the topic had moved to Nicolas. Reurus also decided to ask the purpose of the visit with a little relief.

"So? Why is Senpai Sharon at my house?

The sun has already fallen and fewer people are walking along the streets of the abandoned city of Laval. The light that leaked from the houses illuminated the surroundings, but it was a little late to get out.

If there was anything I could do, could it have been tomorrow? Sharon has a serious look at Reurus thinking about it.

"Reurus... I heard rumors about the wind, but I heard you have a bath in your house. Is that true?

"What kind of wind, senpai... does that wind carry any other strange rumors?

Specifically, there are rumors that sexual preferences are homosexual or lolliconic. The other day, I thought the rumors disappeared because I called Natalia's house, but perhaps the rumors are still deeply rooted.

…… I don't know, but do you have a bath?

"I think that's a nice attitude to push your opinions through. I mean, a bath? I did make a new one... but what's wrong with it?

Reurus thinks little of why Sharon came. Asked if it should still be confirmed, Sharon said with great eyesight.

"--I definitely want you to let me in. I'll pay for it."

Sorry, senpai, there's no water in the tub.

…………

If you put water and sara in the bathtub and wait three minutes - or if you wait a while, you'll have a warm bath, but without water you won't be able to do anything.

Using well water is expensive and laborious, so I asked Calvin and the others to improve it so that the storm water accumulated on the roof reaches the underground bath through the pipe.

A pipe is a pipe that penetrates the wall of the earth straight into a circle, draws the clay and burns it to the ground, forcing the surface to turn into a pottery.

Usually, the drain in the bathhouse is blocked by a wooden board. If it rains, the wooden board can be removed to ensure rainwater without any effort.

Naturally, water does not accumulate unless it rains.

You can get the water from the well, but the water from the well is for drinking and living. Other residents can't buy more than they need, so they can only save up extra money.

Calvin and the dwarves may be able to dig a well secretly, but even if the Reurus and the others get water, the amount of water collected from the nearby wells is likely to decrease this time.

In other words, even if you have a bath, you don't put it in right away.

It was Sharon who used to bathe in the water when he went to the river east of Laval Waste City. Hearing rumors that there was a bath in Reurus' house, he rushed in joy and bravery.

But where did you leak that there was a bath in my house? Maybe Calvin's grandmother.....)

Dwarfs hate humans, but Calvin and the others say Laval Waste City has a good wavelength. Humans are human beings, but those who live in abandoned cities are nothing but helpless from the “world". That point matched the wavelengths of the dwarves.

And Calvin and others often show their faces to Dominic's restaurants. As a representative of the dwarves, I'm here for a drink in the name of a visit to the abandoned city of Laval.

He was drunk and accidentally leaked information about Reurus' house, Reurus said.

(I don't know if there are a lot of people who want to take a bath because it's spreading widely... will there be new rumors when I erase one rumor? No, it's not a rumor about the bath, it's a fact)

The other day, I had just dispelled the disgraceful rumor that the faggot was a Lolicon. Rumors spread quickly and far, but this time I'm in trouble.

I'm not going to monopolize the bath as a realuse, but Sarah has a big problem boiling the bath.

The fact that Sarah is the Spirit of Fire is only known to a small number of people in Laval Waste Town, and it can't just be spread circumventionally. Though Laval Waste City is so tightly tied, I don't know where the rumors are spreading.

Because boiling the bath requires Sarah's strength, the more people who want to enter the bath, the more likely it is that Sarah's identity will be revealed.

"... senpai, do you want to take a bath so much?

For that reason, Reurus decided to hold a deal. Sharon nods small in Reurus' words with his sinking expression.

"Then I have one thing to ask you. I came to take a bath at my house, but I didn't have a bath... would you mind spreading the rumor?

…… I don't understand the meaning of spreading such rumors. May I ask why?

That would be a natural question. However, I am worried about how I answered as a revulsion.

(As a matter of fact, Sarah here is the Spirit of Fire... can you believe me? Can I borrow your name here....)

We can't let Sarah “demonstrate” that she's the Spirit of Fire in the whole town. I can't even catch my eyes when I get in a fire.

"Can you talk to your wife around here? Senpai Sharon might be able to talk to you."

"... no, it's fine. I don't ask why anymore.“ The words alone made me understand the gravity of the situation. "

Reurus cannot judge how to increase the number of people who know about Sarah. That's how I tried to throw a round at Natalia, but Sharon nodded as if he had perceived something.

"Are you sure?

"Fine, I'll keep the rumors going. So, what about the bath?

Apparently, I am more concerned about the bath than about the circumstances of Reurus. Reurus smiles bitterly and invites Sharon into the house. Then he took me to the basement and opened the door to the bathroom.

"Here it is. However, as I mentioned earlier, water is a problem... yes, if you're Senpai Sharon, you can use ice magic..."

I'm going.

It was natural in the previous life, but when the ice melts, it becomes water. It was a Reurus that came up with Sharon's ice magic, but Sharon was shaking his wand before he could confirm it.

"Oops...."

I thought the ambient temperature had dropped, and within seconds, huge amounts of ice had been created in the bathtub. The Reurus who saw it unexpectedly leaked a roaring voice.

"Um... Senpai Sharon? Use magic to reduce magic....."

"No problem. Thanks to the Reurus and the others, the magic has become more spooky these days. I'd rather use it than spare it."

Really?

Recently, monsters have grown up, so Sharon uses less ice magic. In that case, the magic recovered is better than the magic used, so there seems to be no problem wasting it like this.

For Sharon, it's definitely not a waste.

"The amount is... not enough. It's going to take a while to melt."

"Then I'll come back tomorrow night. Do you mind?"

"I don't mind...."

Sharon was especially helpful in the face of the abandoned city of Laval. If she wants to take a bath, she won't refuse the reuse. I don't think so.

(Don't you have any resistance to taking a bath in my house... oh, no, don't worry about your brother, Sharon.

As far as Sharon's gender is concerned, it is only Reurus' finding. However, just as Sharon did not inquire into the circumstances of Reurus, Reurus does not want to inquire into Sharon's circumstances.

It's all Reurus's mistake, and I can't discard the possibility that Sharon is Nicolas's younger brother, the man.

It's a world where monsters exist. It is not strange that there is a man who looks like a woman. Reurus told himself that the line was thin and that there should have been a man who was more feminine than a woman in his previous life.

Then I'll pick up my brother and go home. I look forward to tomorrow. "

"Ah... it's dark, so be careful when you go home."

Yeah, I'll see you later.

Sharon, who created ice in the bathtub, answers with a “high voice” and walks lightly. He raised his eyebrows small behind Sharon, who started walking up the stairs ahead of Reurus.

(Is that it? It's like my voice was high right now... no, no, it's because of my mind)

I suppose you heard a different voice in the basement. Reurus tells himself that the more he melts, the bigger the bathtub fills, the more he looks at the ice.

(Will this melt by tomorrow night....)

If it doesn't melt, I'll have Sarah melt it. Reurus concludes that and starts going up the stairs to see Sharon off.

(... we need to keep Eliza and the others away while you're in the bath.)

I don't think Eliza and the others would have liked to storm the baths of "men," but just to be careful. You may go to Dominic's restaurant while Sharon is in the bath.

So there shouldn't be a problem - Reurus thought so.
