This is troublesome. I haven't been in the world for a long time. I just want to sincerely enjoy the first hot spring.

I got a nasty sweat.

"Dear Ichino... what is it?

"Ah... ah... a bit of a beautiful view over there."

Meanwhile, I saw the opposite direction of Caro.

"Is the view beautiful over there? It just looks like the same forest is spreading in any direction at 360 degrees to Caro."

"Ha, Caro doesn't get it. The position of the sun, the sun, even the shadows it creates, change the scenery. So that if the four seasons of the forest shift, so will the view of the forest."

"Dear Ichino, the trees in the forest here are evergreen trees, not deciduous trees, so I don't think it makes that much difference.

"Yes, you don't know the latitude here at the position of the sun or what?

"I'm sorry, there's a way to do that, but I don't know how Caro wants latitude from the sun."

The voice was heard from right around the corner.

Pippy, when I think I hear water, something hits my back.

It's Caro's back. Yeah, I think it's probably my back. I don't think I can go wrong with my back and stomach, even though I don't have any breasts.

"Master Ichino, will you look at Caro?

"... a little... embarrassed."

"I've been watching Mr. Hal."

"... no, well, it is"

They poked me where it hurt.

"But I don't think even Hal's opponents will be able to see it in this environment."

When I said that, Caro laughed happily.

Her little back shakes slightly.

"... hehe, I'm a little relieved. Dear Ichino, you see me as a woman."

"Caro has always been anxious. Master Ichino came from a distant world, didn't he? I wonder if Master Ichino will return to his former world one day. Sister...... was it Miri? You've left it in that world, haven't you? So I thought I'd go back to my old world for your sister."

…………

I'm not going back. Though I don't think I may be able to go back.

But my reason for going to see Mr. Daijiro was to say thank you, and at the same time to ask if there was a way back to Japan.

Of course, I'm not going to ignore Hal or Caro's feelings, but I still don't think I can leave Milli alone again.

So at least I want to let Milli know I'm okay.

"I'm sure Mr. Hal feels the same way. So I'm a little worried about Mr. Hal right now. What is happening to Mr. Hal now that Master Ichino has suddenly disappeared"

"... Hal is strong. I'm sure they're investigating my disappearance. Maybe we've already found the cause."

"Dear Ichino, Mr. Hal is strong. But you can't if you're sweet on that strength. If it's sweet... even if it's a little sweet on Caro..."

I said looking up at the blue sky.

"It's always sweet on Caro. I'm still sweet about Carol's kindness. Sorry, no husband."

"No, Ichino-sama is never your husband."

I heard Caro get up. A slight water splash flies.

And her hands came around my neck.

held from behind...... her slight chest flutter pressed against my back and my spine stretched unexpectedly.

"Sometimes Master Ichino says he can't do his thing, but that's definitely not true. Caro... the Caros don't like bad people. Mr. Hal doesn't like Master Ichino just because he's strong, and even Caro doesn't like Master Ichino because he just saved his life. Marina, it shouldn't be just because Canon told us to travel with you, or because you're from the same world."

"... Caro..."

"Caro will wait, won't he? Eighteen years old, or until Master Ichino tells me it's good"

When I say that, Caro leaves my body.

And I could hear Caro walking away.

Is it okay to stay like this?

When I thought so, I heard Caro approaching again. I turned around by accident.

"Caro! I'm -!"

I turned around, at that time,

"Ugh?

There was a big white monkey in front of me. It's a goblin-sized monkey about a meter in size.

"Caro turned into a monkey!?"

"No, Master Ichino, it's a demon!

Caro screamed as he hid his chest in a towel.

So, dammit, I didn't realize the demon was approaching because of the feeling of the hot springs and the tension just now.

I'm gonna stand up for you, but...

The monkey walked away and immersed herself in a hot spring.

It's like a hot spring lover, Nihonzar.

"... Dear Ichino, there!

"... Huh?

Near the ice, where I saw a strange sight.

Out of the hot springs, monkeys were gushing.

That number, fifty.

All of it didn't strike me, I just enjoyed the hot springs.

"Hole where demons gush......?

Anyway, if I get attacked here, it's dangerous, and I'm up from the hot springs.

The monkeys don't look like they're attacking us ignoring everything we do.

The monkeys increased their numbers slightly since then, but stopped around unreachable to sixty. There doesn't seem to be any more.

"Maybe it's the entrance to a hidden labyrinth?

"I'm sure there's a hidden passage, but I've never heard of labyrinth demons not attacking people. If you kill him, you can tell if the body will stay."

"I can't wait to get attacked because of that, and more importantly, I don't want to pollute the hot springs with blood"

"I think the sequence of reasons is the opposite, but Caro agrees"

"Then ignore the monkeys... why don't you dive"

If you go into a tiger hole, you don't get a tiger child. At this point, however, neither the depth of the tiger hole nor the preciousness of the tiger child are known.

Still, there may be something we can figure out. Even if you don't know anything, you'll see that you didn't.

There's something in the hole, and I was flown to this island for some reason.

If the reason is beyond the hole, I think I should go beyond the hole.

"Caro, you get in my world. You can't make him wait here, you can't make him go to the coast."

"Okay. When you get across the hole, call Caro."

My pulling skills allowed me to widen my hole into My World and put Caro inside.

Then he takes his sword, goes into the hot spring with his shoes on, and his clothes on. Even if you see that sight without the letter Ma of Hot Springs manners, the monkey won't try to move.

The ice made me warm, but the water temperature, which is still close to forty degrees, I can't dive for very long.

When I saw where the monkey came out, I didn't realize it until earlier, but it did have a big hole in it. It's like Naruto on stage.

When I breathed heavily, I dived into the hole.
