Episode XII: Shocking Hot Springs

The day after I had my revenge.

Wake up and wash your face.

He wasn't out of fatigue, and I in the mirror had a tired look on my face.

"Morning, Io"

"Oh, good morning"

Going down, Elfi was already awake.

"How are you feeling? Are you calm?"

"... what?"

I don't feel bad.

I wonder what Elfi is talking about.

"I've been very concerned since yesterday. Did you relax?"

".................., oh"

"Fine then."

After that conversation, we had breakfast and we left the inn.

Then we came to the Adventurer Alliance.

To enter the Labyrinth Crusade.

You don't have to be an adventurer to join a crusader if you get this application.

Anything, he wants to join a crusader, but he doesn't like adventurers because they're troublesome, a system for the selfish powerful.

The only way to legally enter the labyrinth is by this means anymore.

The adventurer couldn't blame Marwin for turning his hand around.

The name of the guild employee connected to him is in my head, so you can threaten him if you have to.

When I applied to Miss Guild to apply, she told me that today was the deadline.

Apparently, it was pretty critical.

We'll have an exam tomorrow, and then it looks like there's going to be a crusade meeting soon, including the successful ones.

Whatever, I wrote my name on the application form and filed it.

The same goes for the Adventurer registration, but he fills it in under the names' Ioli 'and' Elfi '.

I suggested trying to make it 'Aoli' and 'Porfi' just in case, but Elfi gave me a very unpleasant face, so I ended up making it this name.

"Hmm......"

In his guild, he slipped away from the man with the full body armor.

He's staring at us with a sharp eye from the gap in his helmet.

…………

... you need to be vigilant.

Then I did what I had to do, and it was when I tried to leave my guild behind.

"Mr. Io! Mr. Elfi!"

You've been running, and Misha, disturbed by her breath, called out.

"... thank you"

That's how I keep my head down deep.

"... what is it, Mr. Misha?"

That's what I did anonymously, so I'll put it away.

I tried not to get my feet on a cash changeover or anything, so I wouldn't be bothered, but just in case.

Misha seems to have noticed that this one is stuck, but she has nevertheless thanked me many times.

"Grandpa's wounds have healed perfectly already. Just in case you're in the hospital for one more day and can be discharged tomorrow...! There will be no sequelae left!"

In tears, Misha said so.

"But... I can't even get the magician to arrange for me to rebuild the store on top of it."

"When they say gold, we don't know."

He wants me to give it back, but he puts it through.

It took me quite a while to break it.

In the end, Zoltz's shop decided to rebuild.

Until then, Zoltz and Nymmel seem to work in a blacksmith of some sort with an adventurer connection.

Looks like there's a blacksmith who just hurt his back, and he'll take his place.

Misha bowed her head to us until the end and said many times that one day she would return this favor.

I guess that feeling is true.

Not at all, now.

But if it's for your own good, everyone trumps and betrays you easily.

That's why I decided not to expect anything anymore.

After finishing up for me at the guild, I bought something that looked delicious in the stalls I was out of, and I was walking around the city eating.

"White body shudders with pulls, yellow body melts with trolls. In addition to the strange texture, the sweet and tender sauce enhanced the taste of the eggs. Hot spring eggs, they were delicious."

Elfi shares his thoughts on rap.

Apparently it was on my tongue.

He's a demon king, but he's probably a crack and a common tongue.

"So Io. What was that guy you were talking about yesterday called" Bertoga "? Looks like he's not even Locke again because of your reaction."

"He's one of Dionys' men."

He was a man of the ghost clan who excelled in flaming magic, called the "Flaming Ghost".

It doesn't extend to Dionis, but he's still quite powerful.

"He was a strong guy, a strong guy downstairs."

"That's typical again."

"When we first met, I was pretty tangled up, too. When I showed my strength, I gave my palm back and rubbed it off."

But there was a part of the ghost tribe that I could sympathize with at the time.

That's why I thought I was a bad guy, but I accepted that I had no choice.

Now that I think about it, I can only call it stupid.

Walk along the back alley of Hot Springs City with Elfi.

Hang on for over an hour and walk around looking for what you're looking for.

I spoke to the man with the eye of a ship standing outside the intended store and went inside.

There was also information about the city's 'backyard operation' in the materials I looked at in Marwin's study.

We come to a store that deals with dangerous drugs.

"Damn......"

The store was filled with a sweet smell that made my head ache.

Elfi is staring at his face and picking his nose.

"Welcome.... you're a very young guest"

Strong shopkeepers look surprised.

When I showed him the money, he immediately gave me a humble look and listened.

"Do you have a pill called Ghost Claw?"

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes to the question.

"... ghost claws. Ah, you seem to have a lot of haters.

You're lucky. I just got it about three days ago. "

I fished the shelves with Gossogoso and the shopkeeper brought the powder in a transparent bag.

It's a shiny white crystal, and it looks close to sugar.

It's a crystallized magic vegetable that can be retrieved near the area where the ghosts live.

Pay the store owner and receive ghost claws.

It was tightly sealed and kept closed in the back of the porch.

"Hey, Io, when it comes to ghost claws, was it definitely poison?"

"Oh."

Ghost claws are fiercely poisonous.

When ingested, it is called by this name because it emits intense pain as if a little ghost is rumbling around in your body.

If a regular person ingests it, he or she will be unable to move into severe pain, eventually leading to death.

Even worse in quality, using magic with this poison intake has the terrible effect of rampant organs handling magic and rupturing the flesh.

Because of the crystallized objects of the magic vegetables, those with a high amount of magic and those with a strong anti-magic power are somewhat reduced in effect.

"Don't poison me like that. I was drunk by one of my friends."

Some of the memories I read from Luzas were of Bertoga.

During an ops meeting on how to kill me, he said.

"I have a plan to kill Amatsu for sure."

The trick and the trick was to make me drink ghost claws.

".................., were you okay?"

"Fortunately, because of the power of the brave, my body was only as effective as it was lazy. It was exhausting, and it was as far as I could get done with my illness."

"... right"

I don't know if the demon king's army that's coming to this city is the Bertoga I know.

If you do, I'll kill you with these ghost claws.

"... Iori"

Thinking about that, Elfi slapped me on the shoulder with a pound.

"... what?"

We're going to the hot springs.

"What...?"

In the current course of the story, why does that happen?

Elfi said with the expression "You don't understand, you are".

"I came to Hot Springs City because of this, so what if I don't go into Hot Springs? I'm tired of bathing in accommodation."

"Um..."

"We're changing from the current inn to an inn with hot springs."

"Hey, hey..."

Dragged by the idiotic power of Elphi.

Really, don't break the pace when you're with this guy...

Just a hot spring city, there are many hot spring inns in the city.

One of the things Elfi saw was that I was brought here.

I canceled my stay after today and brought my stuff.

It's a pretty big inn, and it's clean.

Once inside, she was greeted by a lady general dressed like a maid.

When it comes to accommodation, I have the image of a kimono, but in this world it is mostly western.

The general led me to the front desk.

I have to choose a room to stay in or a menu for dinner, breakfast, use of hot springs, etc.

"Two rooms for one, please."

"Rice comes with two meals."

I don't know what to do about rice.

"What do you do with hot springs?"

"Can I rent it out when I bathe?"

"... rent it out, what are you gonna do"

"There's nothing to do. Can you bathe with strangers?"

Well, I don't even know how that feels...

"I'm sorry, but I can't rent it out."

"Mmm."

"But there's a family bath, and you can use the hot springs in a way that's close to renting out."

According to the general, there are hot springs that we offer to two or more guests.

They say that time is predetermined, but in the meantime, families alone can enter the hot springs.

"... wouldn't it taste bad to go into a boulder for two?"

"I don't mind."

"I don't care."

You don't have to rent it out, but Elfi didn't give in.

Then when I say I'm going to find another inn, I say, "This is a good place!"

Eventually, I was to use the family bath.

Enter each room.

I decided to relax in the room because I don't have anything particularly to do today.

Sorcery with one hand and "Magic Takeover (Spell Divauer) with the other to adjust the power, the door was knocked and the general came inside.

Sounds like dinner time.

When I went to the dining room with Elfi, the food was already ready.

"Ooh..."

It was the pot dish that came out as dinner.

Meat and vegetables are placed in a pot of stone and simmered with guts in a magma-like red soup.

They call it a magma pan.

"I can't resist this spiciness!"

fu leaks his breath, Elfi eats the magma pan guzzly.

I ate all that at noon, can I still eat it?

"I eat a lot for a reason?"

You noticed my gaze, Elfi told me to protest.

"It takes a lot of energy to retain my massive magic."

"So every time you get another part back, you're eating more."

When my body's all back, how much the hell am I gonna eat?

Or if you only have a head, where are you saying what you ate?

It's too much of a mystery.

"If you get your body back, you'll be able to adjust the energy it takes to hold it."

Even though I say it out of my heart, I won't stop eating magma pans.

Are you sure you're okay, I'm worried.

When I even flattened out to an unusual dessert called Hot Springs Egg Parfait after a meal, the time for bathing just arrived.

The family bath is set for time.

Besides, you two have to go to reception to get into the hot springs.

After the reception, we first came to the dressing room.

It's just for family use, not very spacious.

Elfi, get dressed for now.

"Hmm?"

At the same time as turning towards Elfi, the clothes he was wearing disappeared in an instant.

I'm guessing he disarmed himself from being held together by magic.

"... hide a little"

"You're not ashamed of yourself, are you?"

I'm not ashamed because I'm not a pair of pants, don't say it like that.

Take your eyes off Elfi and take off your own clothes.

I wrap a towel around my lower body and follow Elfi, who ran first.

When I opened the door and went inside, it was an open-air bath.

The darkened sky is well visible and you will likely enjoy the night view.

When Elfi flushed his body, he just walked into the water and left.

After I flushed my body with hot water, I shampooed it, and after removing the dirt with the towel I brought in, I soaked it in the water.

"... ugh"

When has it been so long since I've been in a hot spring?

I feel the back of my body warming up pompously.

It seems that the potency of hot water improves the magic circle.

"That's pretty good stuff."

Soon, Elfi was coming back.

"Right," he nods, not looking back.

Keep the night view and soak in the water in silence.

It was a little unexpected.

After a while, Elfi opened his mouth.

"You do something radical inside, too."

"...? Oh"

You mean yesterday?

It must be about the revenge we did to Marwin and the others.

"Oh, that's not why I like it. I just did what I was hit with."

To despair, to kill, it's all about me getting hit.

So I swore to the people who betrayed me that I would do the same.

He said he'd make you regret it.

…………

Behind me, I heard Elfi exhale.

"I can't believe it, you should soak it in water and slow it down today. I don't know if you realize it, but you look terrible today."

A caring kind word, unlike the usual elphi.

Maybe it was for me that you suddenly told me to go to the hot springs?

"... elphi"

I turned to Elfi to thank him.

"Ooh!?"

When I saw what was behind me, I accidentally screamed.

Because Elphi was floating on the boiling surface of hot water.

- Just the head.

Surprised, accidentally jumping off the spot.

"Hey, what is it? Make people look like monsters."

Elfi lurked his eyebrows in dissatisfaction.

And then he slips down the water with Sussus and his raw neck and comes towards me.

"Oh, hey, stay away"

"Mmm... I just disarmed my body for a minute, but the reaction is out of my mind."

Saying so as to obstinately, Elfi's neck floated from the flutter and water.

Elphi, turned into a flying head, stares at me with her jitsu eyes.

Sure, I knew this guy was just his neck, but this is the first time I've actually seen him.

Even at Marwin's, I didn't see his head that much.

I didn't know you were shocked so far.

Unexpectedly lagging behind his moving head, the magic was released from Elphi's neck.

Then the next moment, from the neck, the bottom is constructed.

In other words, a naked elphi will appear in front of you.

"So I'm telling you to hide it!!"

"I got it out because I hated you!?"

After all, I couldn't thank Elfi enough.

I mean, I'm suspicious you really cared about me.

However... I did manage to get a little tired.
