□ [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

As Shirley said, we arrived at Kalcherathan in less than an hour.

The entire city of Calcellatan is paved with cobblestone, which seems to me to be a well-maintained city compared to the villages of the kingdom.

Grass and flowers are planted all over the city, making it a city with an atmosphere of "harmony between man and nature".

It's a different city from Wang Du, Gideon and Torne Village until this morning.

Unexpectedly stop in the beautiful streets and look around.

"It's a city full of grasshoppers."

"Yeah, it's the intention of the Countess Calcellatan to rule the land. Gardening is your hobby, and the gardens of the Count's residence are particularly stunning. I often invite orphans and travelers to tea parties."

"Well, you're familiar with it."

"... my servant is closer to the Countess."

I see.

Apparently, Azrite is above himself serving some nobleman.

"Well, let's go faster than that! The sun will go down while you watch the grasshoppers!

"Yes, sir."

Azrite rushed me, and I resumed walking there, too.

◇

Shirley's parents run the lodging outside of town.

It may be somewhat inconvenient for shopping, but from what I've heard on the road, it's convenient because it's close to the site.

And, for some reason, white smoke is silently rising from the back of the inn to the sky.

And I also smelled like I used to smell it somewhere.

"Why are you out of town? There seems to be a lot of land left in the center."

When Azrite asks, Shirley responds pointing to the mountain.

"It's close to the mountains, isn't it? I don't know if it's because of that, but my grandfather, who was a mountain master, dug a hot spring here!

"Well, that's good."

Hot Springs... but I haven't been there in a while.

By the way, speaking of mountain masters, Shirley's grandfather Job seems to have been an [adventurer].

"My grandfather originally had a rash from heaven and earth, but when I dug into the hot springs, it seemed to have caught fire. Stay in the Inn... I started the Hot Springs Inn!

"I see."

The smoke that's been up there since just now is an open-air bath hot air, and the smell seems to belong to the hot spring.

It doesn't smell much like sulfur, it doesn't seem to be a hot spring with a strong smell.

"I'm home!

When Shirley says that at the inn entrance, a motherly woman rushes in with a patsy.

Someone who feels like a "general.”

"Well, Shirley. You were worried about me because I was late.

"You know what! I got these people to help me!

That's how Shirley tells her mother about her upside down in the woods.

"Well, thank you for helping my daughter where she is in danger..."

"So, Mother. I want you all to stay in the inn for a cheap price!

"Of course that's cheap. Don't tell me it's free. But I'm in trouble..."

Shirley's mother looks like she's in trouble as she put her hand on her cheek.

"We only have a separate hotel because we have a lot of visitors."

"Huh? There's a little..."

To his mother's words, Shirley also becomes a troubled face.

"What is an annex?

"It's a heavenly and earth-like building originally built by my grandfather for his hobby. It seems like the buildings in the West are too different for customers to spend..."

"You don't have a bed and you have to lay it directly on the floor."

"At least if I had a bed...... But your grandfather's will says," Leave the annex like that "..."

I somehow knew the circumstances when I heard the mother and daughter conversation that

In short, they say the annex is Japanese-style architecture.

Heaven and earth are countries close to the old Japan, so you'll be sure to do it first.

Then I have no problem with it.

"I don't mind at the annex. I'm used to heaven and earth style."

"Is that true?

Answer Shirley's mother's inquiry, nodding.

"I don't mind you either. I've never experienced heavenly or earthly styles, so this is a good experience."

Azrite also accepted that we were staying in a heavenly and earthly annex.

◇

And right now, there was something in front of me that wasn't what I imagined.

"Heaven and earth style... heaven and earth style, hey"

However, the condition of heaven and earth seen in the national choice during the making was close to that of Japan during the Anduyama period.

... but now the building in front of me is not like that.

metaphorically,

"In the memory of your lord," The old Japan in overseas films, "it feels like it."

Exactly that look.

By the way, it fits but dares to say it's wrong.

"No, there's no such coloring," you mean.

Whatever it was, it was quite a different direction from my imaginary style of heaven and earth.

Was this the wrong heavenly and earthly statue of the person who set up this annex, or was the heavenly and earthly style really this way at the time it was built?

Maybe one day the truth will come to light when we go to heaven and earth.

"This is the heavenly style… exotic decoration, isn't it?

Azrite's eyes shine with curiosity as she looks at the dogs - quite like Cesar there.

But that's probably different from the original heavenly and earth style.

We walked straight into the annex and Shirley showed us to our room.

I also thought, "You can't lock it if it's", but the room was the type to go in and out at the door.

There's something there too... No, is it right if you think it's the Hot Springs Inn?

"Now this is the key to your room! Since dinner can be eaten from 6 to 8 pm at the main building!

"Yes."

"The bath also has an open-air bath in the annex, so use it there! It's a prized hot spring!

"Ooh... nice"

I'm the only man in the annex, and I'm happy about that because I'm going to let you in loose.

"Do you have any other questions!

"Can I ask you one thing?

"Yes!"

Ask Shirley, who had explained and guided her well, a small, raised hand by Azrite.

Speaking of which,

"Is there a home eagle in this annex?

"No!

"Really..."

To that answer, for some reason, Azrite looked dismayed.

I mean, what's a home weasel?

◇

When I walked into the room where I was guided, I felt a little relieved.

Coloring was not what could be called Japanese style, but tatami, futon, seating, etc. were close to the Japanese Onsen Inn.

I'll forgive you for this.

"The shades are kind of unsettling, but this tatami smell and the duvet... makes me feel nostalgic for some reason. Barrier."

Because I often peek into my memories, the nemesis seemed to soothe in this Japanese-style air (the air is Japanese-style for now).

I had already eaten 80% of the tea treats placed in my room.

... No, I don't mind.

"Well."

I take my gear off to relax in my room.

I can't even arm myself with privileged weapons and [VDA] until I've been here on a boulder.

Remove the armor all the way, all of which will behave in the pouch-shaped item box I bought today.

Three reward weapons and [VDA] and accessories (only [life-saving brooch] now because the store didn't have just the right one) and spare weapons, and seven currently in silver.

There are few types that can be tolerated, but do you want to go in three more?

Unequip it and put on the yukata that was provided in the room because it is only the inner part.

... the look of the Hot Springs Inn has increased.

And when this happens, I want to go into the hot springs.

"Mm-hmm? It's not even sundown yet, do you want to go in?

"Oh... oh, yeah"

Before entering the hot spring, I remembered what I was going to do today.

"I'll wash the silver outside before I go in. Nemesis can come in first."

My senior asked me about the value of silver around noon and I was thinking of cleaning it.

Even if it's easy, I've done the washing, and then I'm dirty with the washing. I should be clean in the hot spring, too.

Besides, women will have longer baths, so Nemesis would be better off keeping them in first.

Me and Nemesis would be a different bath for both men and women in the first place, and we wouldn't have to go in at the same time.

"It's the first hot spring I've had in my life. Enjoy yourself."

"Uhm. Let me do that"

That's how I went to the open-air bath where I was proud of Nemesis for washing silver.

◇ ◇ ◇

□ [Revenge Maiden Nemesis]

"Hot Springs, look forward to it..."

General common sense and the like are obtained from the memory of (Ray) (I), so of course there was knowledge of hot springs.

Warm, pleasant, good for health, hot spring eggs, beauty surface, hot spring buns, Japanese-style extremes, hot spring water, evening sights.

Etc. various information is already in me.

But none of the experiences are real.

Until recently, I also left washing my body to automatic cleaning through Ray's logout, so I don't have much bath experience per se.

This hot spring in such a place.

We will have to make sure of this with our own hands.

With that in mind, twirl the cloth - Noren, according to Ray's knowledge - that says' woman 'in two streets: the ancient language and the common language of heaven and earth, open the drawer and enter the dressing room of the hot spring.

"No?"

"... Huh?

There was already a forerunner there - Azrite, who was in the process of serving his clothes in a small box of shaped item boxes.

That pale sword rests on the shelf of the strip cage.

It should be noted that the mask was not worn and its face was exposed.

"......, huh!?"

Moment after moment, Azrite asked, "Has your lord reached supersonic speed? I took the mask out of the item box so fast that I wanted to say," I wore it.

…………

…………

Me seeing Azrite as "what's wrong" with being a naked masked woman in a strip yard.

Azrite looking like she's thinking "what am I going to do" with her face being seen by me.

Such silence between the two continues,

"In the meantime, why don't we just take a bath with the mask on? Keep naked and you'll catch a cold."

"Oh, yeah!

Azrite nodded at my words, leaving the stripper with the mask on and the pale sword (...).

... Huh? You gonna take that, too?

◇

As they both wrote 'It's a modus operandi' in the stripper, they poured water over their bodies before entering the hot spring, sitting side by side and exhaling.

Um, I've been experiencing it and I get it, but this is really good stuff.

Comfort stains all over my body.

... I wonder how many days Ray intends to stay in this Karchelatan.

I'd like to stay here for another three or four days, if possible.

…………

And the azulite on the side is trying to say something.

But I can't seem to see this one straight because of the cloudy vitreous area that hits the masked eye.

However, still, I turn to those with me and say the words exactly as I had expected.

"... keep a secret about my face"

"I tell you, I don't know what that means in the face of your Lord"

I took control of the flight and waited for the statement.

"Finally, Ray wouldn't even know. I don't remember seeing the face of your Lord before I did either."

"Really?

"Can you be sure? Lord, be sure to possess the skills of" True or False Judgement. "

After the battle of day, I accepted Ray's words perfectly, also because I confirmed in the Verdict that they were true.

"Huh? But... really?

"Really."

"…………………… yes"

He seemed relieved, but on the contrary he looked troubled by something.

Most of all, I can only see the bottom half of my face.

"By the way, why do you even bring that sword to the tub?

ask pointing to the pale sword placed outside the tub.

I know this is the first hot spring, but bathing with a knife is noisy and unpretentious.

"... this sword doesn't go in the item box. So this is how I'm gonna have to carry it."

"Difficult..."

I had never even heard of Gideon's conversation with the Ranker that the item would not come in for any reason other than the lack of capacity in the item box.

Well, it doesn't look like you're lying to me, and it's true.

And Azrite doesn't seem to think it's a good idea to bathe with a sword, either, trying to hide the sword in a bathroom bucket.

I don't think that's a problem...

"Mm?"

And that's how I watch Azrites wasting their time hiding their swords, and sometimes I realize it.

"My lord, the style is good."

"... is that right?

From me the standing azulite nudity looks good.

Azrite's flesh has an even, reasonably well balanced muscle and soft meat.

swollen chest while maintaining the item and smoothness of the curve from back to glutes.

Um, good construction.

"But so are you... sorry"

"Do you accept that" I'm sorry "as a declaration of war in some cases?

Are you saying that I am the poor minister even if the lens of the mask is cloudy?

... Well, that being said, I'm as aware of my modest breasts.

Rather, it would be unbalanced, even if it were too large, based on its shape.

"Well good. Which way, because Ray, who is the master, is not really the type to care about the style of a woman or the size of her chest. I don't care if they call me breastfeeding."

"You mean 'don't judge people by their appearance'? But then why my mask?"

"No, it's not"

I block Azrite's words and state why Ray doesn't judge women by style.

"'I haven't been very interested in women's nakedness since I was chased around by a group of naked Amazonas in an exotic dense forest my sister used to take me to,' he said.

"... Huh?

The first time I heard it, too, I said, "Huh? Is that about Earth? Not this one?" That's what I thought.

I think Ray is carrying too much trauma because of his sister's involvement.

But the interest in love and love is in the crowd even if there is nothing to be excited about naked, and the thrill in the situation seems to feel, so there will be no problem when it comes to love and deep communication.... maybe.

"... he's in a lot of trouble, too"

Imagine one case of a child, Ray, being chased by Amazones, or Azrite sighed.

"Well, that's a joke now."

"Right. But he's Ray Sterling, isn't he? Weren't there a lot of trouble that didn't make me laugh?... including the incident at Gideon last month"

I can't deny that.

Anyway, there were several things that I could call important even after I hatched.

Many things would have happened before that.

Even though there aren't as many lives and deaths on the other side as there are examples of events at the Kumanisan Games in childhood.

Maybe Ray was born on such a star patrol.

"Because in the first place, he's in a physical shape that can't ignore the tragedy in front of him. Inevitably, it carries something that is not a joke."

The first example is last month's case of the Gods Maize Bandits.

That was also a painful and painful event for Ray, and the distress was passed on to me, which was < Embrio >.

"Sometimes you worry because it's of that nature"

"Yes..."

I'm Ray's, buddy.

I can feel confident that I am closest to it in battle, but I don't know if I can take good care of my mind.

I wish I could support Ray more physically and mentally......

"............ hmm?

Thinking that way, the drawer leading to the stripper began to open.

A question passes through the back of the brain at the door (...) that is not what we came in with gradually opening.

- What? Why are there two (...) drawers?

Sooner than such a question of mine came to a resolution in me, from beyond the drawer............ Ray appeared (...).

He wraps a towel around his hips and then also wears an item box pouch, but that's all.

And I haven't put the towel in the hot tub, so I'll be seeing everything over the water I haven't seen.

Azrites and others stand, so they will see nothing without being hidden.

It will be visible.

…………

…………

"Um, the lens in the eye area is cloudy and I don't see it very well, did someone come?

An air that is hard to describe flows, and Ray somehow turns back on his heels with no expression and enters the stripper.

- Then after about ten seconds I came back to the open bath again (...).

Approaching an open-air bath as if nothing had happened, sprinkling water, entering a hot tub and exhaling in the face as if the hot spring had stained.

And two words.

"This time was a mixed bath. And, apart from the strippers, the hot springs were with us."

Shortly after that word, my dropkick and the beating of the azulite I guessed in my voice pruned Ray's consciousness.

... um, it's an arrowhead that I thought would support me physically and mentally, but this would be a matter that I couldn't help but buff.
