Chapter 138: Did You Smell It~
The size inside easily fits about 30 people.
In the back there is a place one step lower; that depth is about thigh-high.
The size of that one-step-lower place would fit about 10 to 15 seated people.
Win sat and peered into the place that was one step deeper, letting out a howaa~ voice.
After looking at Win’s back figure I surveyed the inside of the room.
I had requested stone for the material, and requested polishing so that water would drain on the floor.
I also had a depression made so that water would flow just before the one-step drop.
Showing this far even Win should understand; I had it remodeled into a bathhouse.
In the royal capital showers have finally begun to spread, and soaking in a bathtub is not normally done.
Only nobles do that; that is why the three songstresses were happy looking at the Suzuya bathhouse.
The body fatigue of the students who overwork their bodies cannot be removed by showers.
Thinking that I decided to make a bathhouse.
The academy being visible right in front is because I thought the students would enter on their way home.
To Win who is still making a cute voice I smiled and called out.
"Win, enter inside there and block the hole in the floor... with that white thing, okay?"
"Yeees~"
Win turned her face, replied, entered inside, and blocked the hole with a white soft thing.
The continuation of the hole is the sewer; the application of whether it is okay to connect has been finished and permission has been received from the kingdom.
Perhaps curious about the soft thing used to block the hole, Win is poking it with a finger with interest.
Then noticing something she turned her face to me; Win pointed at the white thing while speaking.
"Instructor~, this is a slime~?"
"Haha, you’d notice. Yes, it’s a slime. There wasn’t a good lid."
"I see~"
It would have been good if there was a rubber-like material, but even going around various shops there was nothing good.
In the end I ended up borrowing the power of slime again.
Thinking this way, for pillows, shoes, water lids and such the slime is active a lot...
I beckoned Win and entered inside the door in the corner.
Inside there is nothing; a passage only wide enough for people to walk spread sideways.
This continues to the men’s exclusive bath; if using this passage one can go to either bathhouse.
This passage is positioned behind the bathhouse; if one breaks through the opposite wall the academy should be visible.
I do not think there is anyone who would do such a thing...
In the first place there is probably no one who would enter this gap.
I do not think so... but just in case I will explain to the students who use it.
From the magic bag received from the blacksmith I took out several box-shaped things.
I had them made by thinly beating iron, and they have a heat-resistant mechanism.
I began assembling them; Win was quietly looking at me assembling.
So that assembling would not become complicated I had written a blueprint and given it to the blacksmith, so assembling does not take time.
Finally fitting an iron cylinder into the hole connected to the bathhouse completes it.
When fitting the cylinder I am careful not to forget to apply slime mucus.
With this water should not leak... probably.
Perhaps because wind does not pass, a little sweat was seeping from my forehead.
Thinking to wipe the sweat I thrust my hand into the magic bag; from the side a cute pink handkerchief was held out.
Turning my face to the one who held it out, Win was smiling softly.
Then with the one hand not holding the handkerchief she made a hand movement as if crouching.
Handkerchiefs are expensive in price, and basically cloth is used.
Therefore thinking of wiping my sweat with a cute handkerchief I smiled wryly and spoke to Win.
"Win, there’s cloth so..."
"Please lower your face quickly, okay~?"
"Uoh... Win."
Win pulled my arm and made me lower my face, then began gently wiping the sweat on my forehead.
At the forcefulness unimaginable from the leisurely Win I was a little surprised.
With a gentle touch she wiped my sweat; from the handkerchief a little grape scent came.
Being wiped in a form of letting it be done, silence continued so I brought up a topic.
"Grapes... do you like them?"
"...Does it smell of grapes~?"
"Nn? Yeah, a little from the handkerchief. A good scent. I thought you were wearing that kind of perfume... was I wrong?"
"Nfufu, is that so~, did you smell it~"
To Win who smiled happily I tilted my head.
Without answering my question, perhaps finished wiping, she stroked my head with "Yees, please~".
Somehow I became a feeling of being toyed with, but I smiled and thanked Win.
Somehow I feel a sense of déjà vu as if being with Nimi; is it my imagination.
I turned back to the device and took out water and fire magic tools from the magic bag.
I searched for round-shaped ones, found them, and purchased them.
If I asked Croana she would likely give them for free so I stopped.
No matter how much they are lovers, receiving a magic tool that seems about to reach a gold coin is different I think.
It is my strange stubbornness of not wanting to treat lovers as convenient.
...If I talk about this I can predict up to being lectured.
I imagined the time I talked and ended up smiling wryly.
Attaching the water magic tool to the upper part and attaching the fire magic tool to the place positioned below.
When I touched both with hands and flowed magic power, the sound of water flowing came.
Becoming happy that it went well I looked at Win’s face with a smile and spoke.
"Win, when the bath is filled tell me."
"...Nfu, nfufu, yeees~"
Win who looked at my face made a slightly surprised face, immediately smiled happily, and headed to the room with the bathtub.
Why did she make a surprised face?
Even thinking a little I do not understand and concentrate on flowing magic power.
Though that said, only a little magic power needs to be flowed, so what I am concentrating on is looking whether a water leak occurs.
At present there is no appearance of water leaking; I breathed a sigh of relief in ease.
While looking at the hot water filling the bathtub, Win was staring at the handkerchief that wiped Raide’s sweat.
Smiling happily she was squeezing the handkerchief with both hands with nigi nigi.
Previously when she went out to play with Aurora and Rain.
A famous local fortune-teller had visited the royal capital, and she had heard from that fortune-teller.
The person one likes, even without using perfume, smells of flowers or fruits or various pleasant scents...
Actually Win does not use perfume or the like.
Win has a good nose and dislikes perfume that ends up having a strong scent.
Besides today she has neither eaten nor touched grapes.
Yet Raide said of his own accord that it smells of grapes.
"I smelled good, didn’t I~"
In the room where the sound of water filling comes, Win murmured happily by herself.
Bringing her nose close to the handkerchief, it smells of Raide.
At the manly scent she ends up feeling pleasant.
Below her stomach became kyun kyun; she unintentionally placed one hand on her stomach.
Just like that she almost brought her hand to her crotch; hurriedly she released her hand from the stomach.
While thinking she is unexpectedly this lewd, her expression flushed her cheeks red and her breath is feverish.
Shaking her head she headed to Raide to tell about the hot water that has filled.
If touched by Raide.
If she is touched...
"What will happen to me~"
I will list the newly considered order of breast sizes below.
I may use other expressions, but please use it as a quick reference table.
[Small hill → Mandarin → Apple → Grapefruit → Pear → Melon → Watermelon]
