"Huh... Huh. Ahhh."
Soaking up to his shoulder in the hot tub, Canade shook his tail plump.
And make a melting face and weaken your whole body.
"Bath, it feels good."
"Right. I'm so glad you took such a big bath."
Tania, who likewise enjoys the bath, smiles as she slightly dyes her cheeks with the heat of the water.
It had been a week since we had left Krios and traveled together for Cagne.
In the meantime, Nojuku is five days old.
Staying in a small city or village inn between streets, two days.
Naturally, you can't take a bath or anything while you're in the wild.
I can't even take a bath because the lake isn't necessarily nearby.
When I really do, I can only wipe my body with a towel wet with water.
Also, even if you could stay in the inn, there are often no baths because it is a small place.
The first inn didn't have a bath, I just could sleep.
However, the second inn is properly equipped with bath...
The women were having a full laugh and enjoying their first bath in a long time.
"Hmm... nice hot water"
"That's right, it's going to melt -"
"A bath is a woman's life."
Chiffon, Millefeuille and Chocolate's Brave Party were among them, enjoying their first bath in a long time.
Although there are no other guests, it is quite unusual to have a bath with this many people.
"Ho."
Luna looked at the three brave party and nodded as if she was convinced of something.
"Pine, bamboo, plum..."
"Chocolate is one of Sola's people."
"Um... are you two that obsessed with size?
"It's obvious!
poses softly as Luna says out loud that sounds like she's going to be outside.
"The breast size is the manifestation of motherhood! So every man in the world wants the size of his chest! If you are, you must grow up because you were born into a woman, don't you think so!?
"Ooh..."
As impressed with Luna's momentum, Nina slapped her hands on her pussy.
"Oh, it's one another."
Chocolate was also impressed, he asked Luna to shake his hand.
Luna holds that hand silently and responds firmly.
"We, the Lactation Alliance. Let's get rid of those people with chunks of hateful fat!
"I will."
"... that? I'm one of them?
Soon Rifa had her hands grabbed, too, and she was drawn to her people.
It just doesn't seem like it's enough to wave away and refuse, and I'm relaxed and soaked in hot water, though it is.
"There's a lot going on at your party."
"You too."
Tina and Millefeuil seem to have gotten on their minds, lined up next door, enjoying a bath together.
Tina is a ghost, but somehow, she was indulging in a bath in the mood.
Next to it, Nina was still the same, dusty.
Three fluffy tails shake quietly in hot water.
"Hey, hey."
"Yeah?"
Softly, Canade spoke to Chiffon.
And Tania goes on.
"You're a fan of Rain, aren't you?
"You, I think you want me to call you Chiffon, not you. Because I feel a little distant, and we're on a journey together. Well, it's also a request from me."
"Uh... well, call me Canade too"
"I'm fine with Tania."
You felt Chiffon's upright emotions, Canade and Tania said so.
"Yeah, thanks. Canade, Tania"
"So... Chiffon is a fan of Rain, right?
"Yes, I am."
"You knew Rayne well, didn't you?
"Rain, if you're as active as you are, even if you're away, you may receive martial arts. In my case, I worked everywhere as an A-rank, and I had a lot of opportunities to listen to that. So, while I was listening to that, when did I ever turn to admiration?"
"Nyah... is that just admiration?
Canade turned his alarming eyes to Chiffon.
Tania had the same eyes.
Doesn't Chiffon like Rain, too?
With the advent of a new competitor?
The two of them were thinking about that.
That's a really easy way to understand...
Chiffon, who immediately perceived the feelings of the two of them, chuckles.
"Hmmm... I guess I'm just admiring it now"
"Oh, good."
"What, now...?
"Nobody knows what's ahead. Me too. So I wonder if we can be sure of what will happen."
"Nyah... Chiffon is so mean?
"Phew, sorry"
While we talked about that, Canade and Tania realized that their vigilance for Chiffon was diminishing.
Not in the sense of a rayne relationship rival...
Are you sure you're a brave man with the right heart? The suspicion disappears little by little.
Canade and Tania, who have been in contact with the former brave Arios for a long time, did not immediately believe in the new brave Chiffon.
Maybe Chiffon is the same type of person as Arios.
I kept having that suspicion.
But spend time with me...
Take a bath with me...
Literally, by dating naked, that suspicion has disappeared, too.
The two are the most powerful species, so they have excellent intuition.
That intuition told me that Chiffon was the right person.
"Well... even if Chiffon became a rival, no"
"Huh?"
"Um, what do you mean? If you're a chiffon, why don't you let me take care of Rayne... this is a bit of a gaze from the top, right? That's not what I meant... I'm sure Chiffon won't regret it, no matter what the outcome."
"Looks like we can build a relationship as a good competitor, free of later rot. There, I agree with Canade. I was thinking the same thing."
"... Phew"
Chiffon had a gentle grin on his mouth.
"Rayne, you have a very nice company."
"Heh heh heh, I don't know what to say myself, but I'm, like, nice!
"Really, you shouldn't say it yourself, that dialogue"
"Kusu."
The three of us laugh.
The effect of bare dating seems to have come out perfectly...
Canade, Tania and Chiffon, that's what they looked like for years of their best friends.
"But, that, that's amazing"
"Is that it?"
"Chiffon's, that's it, that"
"I don't know about that. Vocabulary Poor Cat"
"I can't argue!?
"Maybe... you mean the magic sword?
"Yeah, yeah, that! I've never heard of magic in a sword."
"Right... that's the same for me. I mean, I've been going all over the place, but I've never heard of technology like that."
"... yeah, I think so"
In the wake of the two words, Chiffon's expression changed to something worrying.
Would there have been any disrespect?
Look at Chiffon's face, Canade and Tania are bewildered.
"Uh... I'm sorry. I don't know if I've made you feel weird."
"Yeah. We don't care. I was just wondering if I made Chiffon feel bad."
"Hey...... right. I remember."
"Is that... what you remembered, can we ask?
"Right. That's... yeah. I wonder if you'd like to hear it."
As I recall the past...
Chiffon gently opens his mouth as he does his gaze far away.
"My magic sword is something that goes back to my hometown. Not everyone can use it... it's been taught to some people in my hometown, special moves to keep"
"Nha...?
Special technology that can be communicated only to the hometown.
its like i heard somewhere...... and canade tilted her little neck.
Think, think...
And I find out it's a similar story to Laine's.
It's just like having a hidden beast taster inside...
Even if you have a hidden magic sword to inherit, it's not strange.
That's what Canade understood.
There's just something I care about.
Just like Rain one day, Chiffon looks lonely.
"Uh... can I ask you something? Now the home of Chiffon...?
"I don't."
Grief, regret, anguish, anger...... looking like a mixture of various emotions, Chiffon answered briefly.
Immerse yourself in hot water to your shoulders and look up at the ceiling where the hot air drifts...
Close your eyes and tell them the facts that have happened in the past.
"One day, a demon attacked me... so,"
"... it is"
"Chiffon too..."
Canade and Tania become indescribable faces.
Chiffon, who sees it, smiles in haste.
"Oh, it's nothing. You don't care anymore, do you? It was a long time ago, so I have my mind sorted out... because I'm fine"
"Nyah... if anything happens, tell me, okay? Because I can help you as much as I can."
"I'd like to help for Chiffon, too."
"Yeah, thanks"
Chiffon thanked the two of them and relaxed with his hands and legs spread out in a wide hot tub so he could enjoy the bath again.
There's a grin on that face.
"... nya"
But if you look at it from Canade, there's some shadow in Chiffon's grin...
Unlike Rain, he still seemed to be trapped in the past.
