An A-Ranked Adventurer’s “Slow-living”

After enjoying the dishes made with North Ende ingredients, I was able to take a bath with the care of Elgis.

At the dressing room at the back of Elgin's house, I take off my clothes.

In order for ordinary people to prepare a bath, they have to carry water back and forth from the well many times to fill the tub, heat the rolls and heat the water.

It's easy to say, but it's a lot of hard work.

Therefore, bathing is considered a luxury among the villagers, and they usually wash their bodies with a damp cloth. You only have to take a bath once a month, and then you will probably only enter a celebration.

Still, I'm thrilled to have prepared a bath for me I just met.

With that in mind, Elgis smiles and says, "We were just going to enter."

I'm ashamed that I went straight to the flower garden and took a nap instead of helping to prepare dishes and baths.

If you hunt in the mountains and kill your prey, I'd like to go to Ergis's house first.

After taking off my clothes and getting naked, I chose such a determination in my chest and entered the bathroom.

The bathroom had a round wooden bathtub that was large enough to accommodate four adults if packed.

This is a large bathtub. If you are alone, you can stretch your legs and relax.

White steam rises from the bathtub and disappears out of the window where the starry sky looks.

The room was dark because it was already night, but it was bright enough thanks to the moonlight coming in through the window.

I immediately wanted to jump into the bathtub, but then the hot water became dirty, so I decided to wash my body first.

Sit in a bath chair full of handmade feeling, scoop hot water from the bathtub and sprinkle hot water.

"What……"

Hot water runs through the whole body. The sigh leaked unexpectedly from the exhilaration.

Oh, how comfortable is that?

Anyway, I feel pretty old man now. No, it's 27, so it's not enough.

While thinking of such a thing, I wear hot water from my head, and this time I will apply hot water around my lower body.

Haha, it seems that the fatigue of the journey is going down with the dirt on my body.

I guess I feel better if I wash my whole body and soak in the bathtub.

I want to get into the hot water quickly, so I will quickly clean my body.

"Sure, Elgis said there was soap in the corner of the room ..."

When I wandered my gaze a little, there was a small table in the corner of the room, on which soap was placed.

I grabbed it casually, rubbed it with a towel and lathered, and the floral scent began to drift.

"What this?"

Unintentionally picking up the soap and smelling it, the soap smelled floral.

Looking through the moonlight and looking at the soap, it was light brown instead of gray. The surface had petals.

This is probably a soap that uses the scent of flowers. In addition, herbs may be kneaded.

It has a very calming smell. It may have a relaxing effect like herbal tea. I feel calm down.

It might be a Nordende soap with lots of wonderful flowers. It would be difficult to make such a soap just because of the flowers.

Surely, the villagers who lived here examined the flowers and arrived through trial and error.

Impressed, I whipped the towel.

Then wash the whole body with a towel. When you have finished washing your body, wash your head and face together and pour your head over with hot water.

Rinse bubbles and dirt while being careful not to waste water from the bathtub. When the foam of the whole body was shed, the body was refreshed as if reborn.

Now, after washing your body, it's your long-cherished bathtub.

I put a towel on the edge of the bathtub and gently extended my legs and slowly sinked my body.

"Oh ..."

A bitter voice comes out unintentionally.

It seems that the fatigue of a long journey begins to melt into the hot water.

Put your head on the edge of the bathtub, spread your limbs and relax.

He exhaled and looked up in the sky, and saw the moonlit night from his open window.

Many shining stars shine in the sky.

I looked at the starry sky while thinking that the bathtub was placed in this place to see the starry sky from the window.

When is it the first time to look at the night sky slowly? When I was in the royal capital, I never thought of stopping slowly and looking up at the night sky.

Is it because the lights were always on in the city? I never thought that the night sky was so beautiful. If the place where you live changes, the scenery and feelings you can see from it will change.

"If I calm down, I'll look at the starry sky from under the tree in the flower garden."

Surely, the view of the night sky seen from there must be great.

◆◆ ◆

After enjoying the starry sky and the bath, I changed into rough shirts and pants and went to the room where I was addressed. The bedroom was large and had basic furniture such as beds, tables and chairs, a closet and a mirror. Perhaps there's one empty room where you can live for a sudden visitor like me.

I arranged the bag in the hemp bag and immediately jumped into the bed.

It is a soft futon after a long absence. When I was in the inn, I couldn't stay in a luxury inn, and for the last few days I was always in the field.

Despite being confident in their skills, spending the night watching the forests and caves at night is hard. It was so easy when I had a party buddy because I was sharing it.

I realized the happiness of sleeping in a safe place.

Roll on the bed to enjoy the feel of the soft duvet.

Sheets and futons laid on the bed smelled as floral as the previous soap.

It smells very good.

I feel like I have a very good smell thanks to washing my body with the soap.

When I smelled my arms and touched my skin, I felt elasticity.

What this? Is my skin so beautiful? Is the flower mixed with soap a component that keeps skin beautiful? Or rather, it must be. I am satisfied with the fresh skin of Fiona and Flora.

...... I will decide my house tomorrow.

The home where you live in Nordende. You will have a place to return to.

I don't have a warm family like Elgis, but I'm really happy to have a place to go home. It is not a place where you can pay money and stay overnight.

You can put the furniture as you like and use it as you like.

The garden should be large enough to plant flowers and vegetables. From now on, I'll be cooking my own food, and the larger the kitchen, the better.

It is fun just to think so, and I feel my cheeks loosen naturally.

I am delusional about the interior that suits me, but after all it is important-

"... I like a place close to that flower garden."

Yeah, so you can see that flower field right away.

"From tomorrow, my new life begins"

Finally, after muttering such a thing, my consciousness fell to the bottom of my sleep.
