Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai

Episode 79: Another Man

"Phew, I feel like I'm finally taking a breath"

After lunch, we finally decided to go grab some water.

Even so, the men's and women's hot tubs are separate.

They also have mixed baths, but they say this one is reserved.

Many people want to go in with their friends and lovers, but they don't like to show their partner's skin to other heterosexuals, so they book in advance and rent one hot tub in the form of a private room.

Is that why there are some hot tubs that can be rented, although the Sheeras baths have a little value?

I have to say, it's Ira here.

One thing, they even had time between night and morning.

…………

It's amazing what you've even done.

Mixed baths are just like too high a hurdle......

In another sense, I am worried about going up and not fainting.

Somehow the girls are that member......

In the end, I feel naughty that it's solidifying in the corner with Sieg.

On the other hand, here I am now...... I mean, man water is relieving in a way.

If you look up, it's the blue sky that spreads there.

I mean, this is an open-air bath.

It appears that there are open-air baths outside most of the indoor baths in the Sheeras bathroom.

By the way, I'm the only one in this open-air bath.

There may be time zones, but more to that. There are many hot water fields here in themselves.

As a result, customers are dispersed in each hot tub.

Senior Ray told me that it is especially common in upstream aristocracy, but that few customers are reluctant to line their shoulders with unfamiliar humans in the hot tub?

Therefore, customers seek a sparsely populated hot water field, and as a result, it is dispersed in each hot water field.

It must have been possible to do that because of the size of the grounds of the Sheeras bathhouse.

Well.

The hot water I am currently soaking... is this a special surgical machine that pulls water flowing from the Holy Tree and adjusts the temperature and so on?

That's probably why it's hard to say 'hot springs' in a pure sense.

Thanks to the Holy Tree, Christophia is also blessed with water resources.

That's what I learned in correctional class.

I can also snort that people living in the King's Capital want to worship the Holy Tree.

but at the same time I also wonder how it would be to use water flowing from the object of faith instead of hot springs.

I looked up at the wall of a tall tree separating male and female water.

Beyond this wall now - I mean, it's the women's group who are in women's water.

I hear voices leaking from time to time from earlier.

The atmosphere over there seems kind of fun.

…………

I once dived into the water to see if it was even one of the holes, but that didn't exist (the only thing I discovered was a surgical machine).

Even if it did... well, I don't care.

"Whatever, I still wish it was an open-air bath"

Leaning alone against the rock surrounding the water, he looks up into the sky.

Skies of different worlds.

Yugdracier sky.

But the sky is the same as the world before.

…………

Looking back, I think it's something I'm really going through.

When I went to the mountains, I was surrounded by a mysterious white light, and when I woke up, I met Mr. Currier.

Look at the Holy Tree.

Lose your mind again.

Meet Mr. Leeza when you wake up.

Then the guard with a bad personality took me.

I was bored with Mr. Makina.

Mr. Clarice showed up... and learned to curse.

Then at Mr. Makina's invitation, he was to enter St. Renault's Red School.

I met Mr. Mia.

I met Mr. Cecily, Sieg, and Mr. Hilgill.

I learned about the Sixth House and the End of Life.

I asked Mr. Makina to lend me the house.

First time in school.

Reunion with Mr. Currier.

Mock match.

A curse injunction in a surgical class.

First sacred ruins.

Attack squad established with Mr. Currier.

Holy Relic Attack.

Fighting a flock of bluegoblins.

Fight against hibigami.

Meet the Curse King.

Mr. Cecily's genuine revelation.

Operation Giant Crusade, which began with Ms. Ira's suggestion.

Eighth curse.

Lokia.

Noise Death.

Knights of the Holy Tree.

Four vicious disasters.

And now...... I'm in the Sheeras bathroom.

"Something's amazing..."

Besides, I was able to get to know a lot of people during that time.

And now I feel like I'm having fun with my days.

Things to do.

Things to solve.

I have a lot to think about.

Still...

I have a clue that I'm moving for something.

There is a real sense that we are moving forward.

Gu, and hold his fist in.

"Have I changed...?

"People don't change, you realize they do."

"Yeah, maybe that's the kind of thing..."

Huh?

"Oh, you!?

"Oh, no curse."

When were you next to me?

It was Lokia.

"Hey, why are you here!?

Stand up and get fit.

but Lokia stood idly by with plenty of room.

"Unfortunately, I'm everywhere. You see, the Demon King is the one who is universal everywhere."

"What?"

"Fuhahahahahaha, even an empty joke! Are you still serious, Temé? That's scary, man."

Lokia said, "Sit down."

"Don't be alarmed."

"... Is the noise investigation good?

"I know when to rest."

"What?"

"Ready? Those who know the art of resting themselves in moderation will eventually grasp success. That's what the world does."

Lokia spread her hands backwards.

"If you want to succeed, seek a fine rest."

…………

I also feel well rounded up......

Well, there's a curse if you have to, and Lokia doesn't feel like an enemy at the moment.

I decided to sit down as I was told.

"But you still came to give us a little out, didn't you?

Us.

Me and Mr. Currier.

"It's a good guess. Temehe has a surprisingly small chance of being one-on-one. But if you're here, you can't even get Currier in the way."

"... Later, you'll see Mr. Currier too?

Lokia slapped Bashabasha and the water as she cleverly imitated that she could put an extra heart in the grin.

"Huhahaha, don't be silly! If it wasn't for the noise, I wouldn't even want to see your face! Why do you have to face a beauty like that until the holiday?

Blah! And I heard a sneeze from the water next door.

What's up, Currier? I could hear Mr. Cecily's caring voice continue to be heard.

"Lokia doesn't like Mr. Currier?

"Ah? I don't hate anything else. Well, I don't really like it... but we can't even cut it. That's why we're here. If you say so, it's a curse."

Sixth House, huh?

"You know, Lokia."

"Hmm? Are you even listening to Currier's old story? Then I have the funniest story, huh?

Hiccup! And I heard sneezing from next door again.

So, are you okay? and now I hear Mr. Ira's worried voice.

"No... I think it's the muscle to ask if he wants to talk, so that's good"

"It was so special that I threw up. So, what?

"What kind of noise dies is that?

"Oh, noise... what, are you interested in him?

"Mmm... well, yeah"

"Right... he wants to die, in a nutshell"

"Want to die?

"Anything Noise Says There's A Great 'Play' Happening There Every Day In This Yugdrasier...... But My Presence Is Too 'Dramatic' To Always Ruin That Play"

Lokia continued in a somewhat playful tone.

"So Noise thought. If you get 'murmured' when you're on stage, you can turn to the side where you see the play. You can sit in the audience. But here's the problem. Noise is terribly selfish. So occasionally I trick other actors back onto the stage and make unsolicited pranks about the devices on stage. To make the stage - dramatic."

"I was eating a stream of giant crusades and turning into a discreet student and observing it..."

I mean, do you understand that I'm mobbing myself to be inconspicuous and enjoy observing the situation?

But my presence is' too dramatic '... I don't know, I'm so confident.

But...

"What does' wanting to die 'mean?

Somehow it turns out that Noise Death is a hobbyist who turns into a so-called 'dramatic' non-human being and observes him in a whirlpool of incidents.

But the "hobby" and "wanting to die" don't really connect.

Instead, if he dies, he won't be able to observe the 'play' at the heart......

"He wants someone to kill him dramatically."

"You mean you want to die dramatically?

"That's what it is. In other words, he wants the most radiant person in The Play to kill himself. To get the 'death' you deserve. So he... he's still tired of looking for the stage where he should die."

Oh, I see.

I feel finally connected.

I mean...

"Is it true that for Noise, the first candidate for an actor on the stage who deserves to die is from the Sixth House? So, he wants the most eyewear person in it to kill himself."

"That's what I'm doing."

I see.

So you called Mr. Currier, Lokia, and hence Hibigami to that school?

Wow... what a pain in the ass.

It's like a subspecies of hibigami, but in a way it could be worse than hibigami.

"But why was it St. Renault's Red School?

"You thought it was appropriate as a stage. I don't know what you think of a woman with a screw in her head in the first place."

"Hmm... but somehow, I figured out the figure of Noise. Thanks."

Ah.

That's right.

Because of this, I think I'll ask you about Mr. Dearless, too.

"You know, the Knight of the Holy Tree..."

"Hey, can I ask you one thing too?

Lokia's been putting her hands around my neck.

"You just ask, isn't that fair?

"Wow, I get it. If you can answer me."

"It's well understood and cool. So, Temee... who do you choose among those women?

What? What?

"What?"

"So, Currier Verstein, Cecily Arklite, Ira Horn, Mia Posta...... eh, is that roughly how much you like Temehe? I think I've forgotten someone... but, okay. So, when do you want it?

"Duh, how do you know everybody's name?

"Oh, come on, I'm going through school information, right? Naturally, I'm also looking around Temehe. I don't really think you should be able to gather information on me."

Rokia peels her teeth out.

"If you can't make up your mind, you can do it tentatively, right? Who's the best?

"And you're wrong about the question."

"What?

"What... I choose, or something like that..."

"Oh? You think it's a good idea to choose? Temee, that's not what I'm serious about. Bye, right? If you're serious... this guy's a big sin, isn't he?

"I..."

"It's not clear. Or..."

Lokia peered into my eyes, as if she had seen through everything.

"Afraid it'll break, what's your relationship like now?"

"... Huh?

Lokia narrowed her eyes like a snake.

"Right... Shall we talk about happiness"

"Talk about happiness? Suddenly, what are you talking about?

"Well, listen. Now, what do you think happiness is to humans?

I thought about it a little and then I answered.

"Um, enough clothing and shelter, and all the other cravings to be satisfied...... or something?

Like Maslow's five-step desire?

"Well, you're making a mistake. Perfect as an answer. But... here's what I'm thinking. A person's happiness is a state of infinite happiness just in front of him that reaches his wishes."

"Well then... hope will not come true forever"

Lokia took her hand off my neck and sat back down tight.

"Fuhahaha, it's 'happiness' because it won't come true." Hope "will probably disappear at that point. And there are limits to the kind of happiness that people can trace, and when I opened the lid, the reality was more ruthless."

"Does that mean you shouldn't have happiness in your hands?

"When you're after everything, it's the most fun."

"I don't know... you're thinking of something surprisingly small, you"

Lokia pointed to the temple.

"It doesn't even help with this shit. I like reason. But I'm glad Themé was the man he expected."

"No, I can't talk about it..."

"Just shut up and listen properly, you're superior."

Rokia sinks herself down to her chin in disgust.

"Whatever Hibigami says, it's just 'take your shit out'. Noise says he listens to people properly in the first place. The circuit itself isn't equipped. The other guys in the six houses are the only ones with similar problems. The guys in my organization are not offended, but they start rowing boats when they're talking about this... So, that silver-haired violent woman immediately intimidates or hands out -"

"What are you doing here, Lokia?

"See? Like this..."

I heard a voice.

Lokia looked up.

"Ah?"

And stationary.

Lokia's eyes open slowly.

"Ahhhhhhhh!?

Bashabasha, and Lokia slammed his hands and feet with a wolfed face.

"Hey, why is Temehe here?!? I'm kidding! This place is... man hot water, though!

"Kyu, curier-"

The pointy branch ahead had been slammed against Lokia.

The one holding that branch is Mr. Currier with a piece of cloth wrapped around his body... I mean, eh?

Why is that?

It's man water here, isn't it?

And jumped over?

I mean, Mr. Currier's body lines are clear - not!

At once my thoughts were slammed into a vortex of confusion.

How much, what should I do!?

Oh, I feel different about me screaming here...

"Hey - what are you doing, Currier! There's Crohiko over there."

"Currier, come back soon! The innkeeper will piss you off!?

"Currier, I respect you! I never had that idea!

A voice comes from the woman's water next door.

What the hell is the last Ray seniors saying?

"Well, wait, Currier, I'm resting today."

Gusari.

The tip of the branch pierced Rokia's shoulder.

"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Wow!

I had no hesitation in stabbing him!

Blood!

He's bleeding!

Mr. Currier...... pretty angry?

"Damn you, you fucking bitch!

"Didn't I tell you? You can't get your hands on Krohiko."

"F, huhahahahahahaha! Oh, my God, you're in great shape! Where the hell did the woman go when she turned bright red in the reception toko and got adorable!?

"Become - you, Mi, were you watching!?

"Oh, I saw it!? I burned it in these eyes! Who the hell are you? What noble purity boxed girl!? I don't care if you talk to the people in the six houses, believe me."

Gusari.

A pointy branch stabbed Rokia's arm again.

"Haaaaaaaaaa!

"... Hung, disappear"

Mm-hmm?

Mr. Currier...... are you a little shy?

Rokia does not break her invincible grin while still holding the pricked shoulders of the branches.

…………

Is that it?

I mean, Rokia's shoulder... is the blood stopping already?

"Kukuk, but Currier? He jumped into man's water with a thin cloth, though to protect Krohiko... I respect that. But isn't that a little too irritating for Crohiko?

Keep your eyes closed because it's dangerous, Crooky.

"Ha, ha."

I hid my eyes with my hands.

…………

Is that it?

But what's 'dangerous'?

"So, Lokia... do you want a blindfold?

"Ha, who would be happy to see Temehe naked! If you look me in the eye, my eyes will rot! You'd better still be watching the demon ass hole!

"... for once, I'll kill you"

"See you later, Crohiko! Sora!"

"Shh, shh!

Hmm?

Now the disgraceful Max flipped voice is... Mr. Currier, isn't it?

"Lokia, Ki, you -"

"Krohiko, you can open your eyes now! That's a souvenir from me! I'll disperse while my eyes don't rot! Huha, huhaha, huhahahahahahaha!

Mm-hmm?

There's a sign of Lokia... gone with the laughter?

I took my hand and opened my eyes.

"Kyu, Mr. Currier, the Great Length -"

"-"

Huh?

Kiyu, Mr. Currier. - Where's the cloth?

In front of me.

Currier, who hides his chest and area with both hands...

Seeing...... the cloth that Mr. Currier was supposed to be wrapping around his body was dancing through the universe against a backdrop of flickering and blue skies.

What am I gonna do?

Oh, yeah.

flickering in agitation.

Okay, okay.

This place is masculine.

"Mr. Currier!

"Hey, what...?

"Hit me and let me pass out!

"What?"

"That way you'll lose consciousness, and my memory of the last few minutes, if it's anywhere near as good as it sounds, could be a tob!

"Nah - what are you talking about, idiot! There's no way you can do that! Then close your eyes!

"Oh, well."

I closed my eyes in a panic.

The confusion seems to have caused the flickering to work in strange directions.

…………

Lose as much,

"... Enough is enough"

"Yes."

Opening his eyes, Mr. Currier stood with a thin piece of cloth wrapped around his body.

She looked at the indoor bath with a rugged face.

"The Lokian one... I didn't expect to get out of here. No alarm, no gap."

"Ha... but I just wasn't expecting Mr. Currier to jump into man water, either."

"... sorry, you made me uncomfortable"

"I can't believe you're uncomfortable."

"Hum, that's okay. Because my nakedness seems to be more worthless than the demon's, its - it's not worth it..."

Lokia...... Mr. Currier, you care.

Forgive me.

"I'm Mr. Currier naked... I want to see"

"Really...?

For some reason, Mr. Currier begins to examine his body.

Then she picked a thin cloth knot with her finger and glanced upwards.

"Mi...... look, you want to try?

"Uh, the..."

And that was then.

There are signs of multiple people in the indoor bathroom.

"Ah, Mr. Currier! People are here!

"I don't know - well, it was man water here. And, anyway, that idiot bothered me. This apology comes from me. I'll see you later."

So, Mr. Currier jumped without any help and went back to Woman Yu.

As soon as she returned, some male guests came in for an open-air bath.

"Is that it? I thought I heard some girl... is it because of you?

"Hey, you okay? This isn't a mixed bath, is it? I'm sure the ladies in the lady's water next door made a scene. Look, it's kind of noisy."

A male guest points to the wooden wall.

"Currier! What the hell is wrong with you today!?

"No, jeez, there's actually the undelivered."

"No way, Crohiko got a peek?

"No, it's not him"

"Huh? What do you mean, there were the undelivered themselves?

"Oh, oh... yeah. I hunted him down and questioned his name..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"What the fuck! I can't forgive you, Lokia! I remember your name!

"... Currier, your face is half laughing, isn't it?

"Hmm? Really?

"Currier... you're not lying, are you?

"Hum, that's okay. It doesn't make any difference which way you are the undelivered... you deserve it."

…………

At some point, I was wondering if I should feel pity for Lokia, who was tailored by the Peeping Demon.

After we got out of the bath, we went back to each other's rooms once.

Then after about a dozen minutes,

"Yes, I've done it."

Cecily, dressed in an inn, arrived.

She took off her shoes before entering the room and set them all aside at the shoe stripper.

Take off your shoes in this Sheeras bathroom.

This is also an oriental lesson.

Mr. Ira, Mr. Cecily and Senior Ray felt used to it.

Instead, I felt zero discomfort because it was only natural for me to take off my shoes before entering the room.

but Mr. Currier seemed uncomfortable at first.

"What do you say? Does it look good?"

Mr. Cecily pinched his hem and opened his hands to appeal in his inn attire.

Even when it comes to boarding clothes... well, it's mostly yukata.

Light lemon-colored hair was grouped together around a nod, as usual.

The hair is moist and wet because it hasn't been long since I took a bath.

... but no matter what you wear, this guy will win.

When I get here, I'm not sure if my clothes look good on Mr. Cecily or if Mr. Cecily is able to look good on all her clothes.

I laugh.

"Well, you wore it when you took a bath."

"Because I hadn't heard Crohiko's personal opinion yet"

"It suits you. Wow."

"Phew, is that right"

Mr. Cecily came to my room alone, to get a rub treatment, of course.

Shortly after I got out of the bath, I explained the spirit of the day to everyone.

So, I decided to take turns rubbing treatment one by one.

"Everyone was waiting for me without leaving the room."

Poof, and Mr. Cecily dives into my bed.

Mr. Cecily is confused......

"Is that it? Didn't I tell you that you can be free until then because you have separate hours?

"Aren't we all mindful? Ray... I don't think so."

"Mindfulness..."

I don't think it's such a big deal.

It wasn't an atmosphere when I suggested it, or where someone had a word for rubbing therapy...

"Well, hurry up."

Mr. Cecily gets depressed on the bed.

"Shall I show you Crohiko's moves and tricks?

I respond with finger preparation exercises.

"... you won't forgive me, will you?

"Phew, I'm looking forward to that ~"

Mm-hmm.

This reaction from Mr. Cecily... you're looking sweetly at my arm?

I did know enough to know the bumps on the soles of my feet at best before I got a clue from Mr. Mia.

But Mr. Mia, since I met a lot of direct moves,

"Ha, ha... Ku, Master Krohiko... perfect..."

And it's grown to the point of getting ink from Mia, the master.

Mr. Cecily.

That spare-filled face... will soon turn you into a surprise.

I fell on my knees in bed and leaned over to Mr. Cecily.

"Bye -"

After one deep breath...... I aligned my fingers and put my hands on her hips.

"Here we go."
