Chapter 309 Chill
Away from the hustle and bustle of life, we enjoyed a mont of peace. Alezel sure did a pretty thoughtful thing by renting out this magnificent bath. I don’t mind being busy, but sotis it’s necessary to spend ti like this. After the death march marathon and the repeated bombardnt of Nell, my body was too tired.
「Phew~….」
「Gobu~….」
I took a breath in the hot spring with Gobuo. This is what Japanese people need after all. The stiffness in my shoulders, which is considered to be a national disease, was relieved, and I felt a trendous wave of liberation that seed to release from all my suffering. It would be great if soone could give a massage after getting out of the bath.
「The first person I should ask is probably Nell, but it’s scary if she makes a mistake. Alezel is out of the question. I guess the appropriate ones are Haru and Chinatsu, huh.」
「Gobu.」
「Hm? Ah, I can also ask Gobuo, huh. You handle everything above average, so I can trust you. I really wish that a certain maid would follow your example.」
Since we ca to Damaya, Lilyvia’s life has beco based on sleeping at the inn. Her excuse is that it’s tiring to act with Alezel. Still, it’s a hassle if it becos a habit. Let’s take her next ti.
「Lily is no good. I don’t know what kind of ss she will cause if she’s in her usual self. If I can get her to act as a professional masseuse, she’s probably the best, but… she will get another excuse to slack off, so it’s a no. Who’s left is Touko, huh. Hm? Isn’t she suitable for it?」
Touko can control ki, so she seems to be able to push the acupoints pretty well. Furthermore, from the perfect state of Lilyvia, techniques such as massage and acupressure should have been taught. Isn’t it worth considering?
「Gobbuu, gobugobu?」
…… I don’t understand what Gobuo is talking about, but I feel like he’s trying to point out sothing. ‘You, why the hell did you naturally think of asking a high school girl to give you a massage?’ sothing like that. In the first place, Gobuo doesn’t know the word high school girl, so there’s no way he would say sothing like that. I guess the ones who made feel that were my reason and conscience.
「On second thought, I’ll ask you, Gobuo. My~, getting used to sothing sure is scary.」
「Gobu!」
Spending ti with those three has beco a normal thing, so I wasn’t even aware of that. If I think it calmly, it is strange to ask Touko who’s clearly aiming for .
「――!?」
When I was lost in thought while relaxing, I suddenly felt a chill. Nothing happened to , but I just felt a shiver run down my spine.
「…… A bad premonition at a ti like this usually always cos true.」
「Gobuu.」
Now, let’s guess why I felt the chill.
For example, when exposing Sango-han, Alezel makes a blunder and causes trouble. Hmm, I don’t think that’s the case. Alezel is soone who’s likely to survive even if I or Nell are seriously going to kill her. Besides, I don’t think sothing like that will happen in Damaya, her base. Above all, the chill I felt earlier was for . If it was for Alezel, I wouldn’t have such a premonition.
Then, is a misfortune going to befall ? Is Gobuo going to make a mistake when he’s massaging ? No, it’s even more unlikely that Goubo would make a mistake. Is Chinatsu going to collapse because of her worries? I’m afraid that might happen, but she should have refreshed yesterday. And once again, the chill was for . Then, Nell was actually awake when the girls were playing tag――
「―― If that’s the case, it’s going to be quite disastrous. There’s a saying that tragedy calls for tragedy. Gobuo, collect my ashes later, okay?
「Gobu?」
Kapoon, a very nice sound echoed as if it was the proof of the correct answer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After enjoying the bath, I left the bathroom and prepared myself. Wearing a yukata, that was prepared together with the towel, I and Gobuo jumped out triumphantly. However, there’s no one. As expected, it seems that none of the won have co out yet. Alright, my life is saved.
「It’s better to wait in a place that’s easy to find…. Let’s borrow that sofa. Gobuo, since we have the ti, can I ask you to ssage ?」
「Gobu!」
I asked Gobuo, who’s also wearing a yukata, and lay down on the spacious and fluffy sofa. Ooh, this is quite good…! The performance of Gobuo, who’s being employed using Haru’s dark magic, is very much influenced by Haru’s competency. I’m feeling my disciple’s growth through Gobuo, and it also reduces the burden on my body. Hah, I sure am an exemplar master.
「…… Excuse . Can I sit next to you?」
When I was impressed by the comfort of Gobuo’s acupressure and the goodness of my usual behavior while closing my eyes, I heard a man’s voice. Well now, this place should have been reserved today.
「Hmm? Well, the sofa is spacious. Isn’t it fine?」
「Then, I’ll take your offer.」
「Gobuu.」
A faint sound of sitting on the sofa was heard, and then there was a little silence. When I was silently hoping that he would leave without doing anything, the man sitting next to started to open his mouth. What a hassle.
「You’re not surprised that I was here and ca into contact with you, huh.」
「Well, I could feel your presence after all. I was a little surprised to see you in a yukata, though.」
It was the eye-patched man whom I t at the casino of Sango-han. Please don’t wear a yukata with that veteran look on your face. Because of the gap, I can only think that he’s joking around.
「My presence, huh? I thought I had erased it to the extent that the people who work here would not notice.」
「Hey, don’t compare to ordinary people. Don’t you feel sad when you say that yourself?」
「Hmm, you’re right…」
「So, what do you want? If you don’t say it quickly, the scary won will co back, you know?」
Well, I’m sure so of them have already noticed him. Since they don’t co here, it ans that they are going to let him swim.
「Then, I’ll be brief. The next ti you visit Sango-sama, I would like you to make so preparations. No matter what happens, I would like you to be able to respond on the spot.」
「So, Sango has decided to resist to the bitter end, huh. Is he getting carried away because he’s hiring Japita’s rcenaries?」
「….. Well now, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Sango-sama is just concerned about the state of this city, and we just want to make sure that things are judged fairly and impartially.」
「If you want to be fair and impartial, why did you co in without permission?」
「I apologize for that. It was because I had no ti to et with you personally.」
The eye-patched man stood up quickly and turned his body toward the entrance.
「Where does that confidence co from? The opponent is Alezel, the Great Eight Demons and the one who controls money, you know? Here’s so advice from , it’s not too late to cancel the request from Sango. If you fail, it’s going to be incredibly hard to live, you know?」
「…… I’m not a rcenary, so I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I don’t understand, but for those who have lived on the battlefield for a long ti, the exchange of life that occurs during the mont is irreplaceable, isn’t it? Positions are irrelevant there, and only strength can be the perfect spice. Those Japita’s rcenaries must be longing for that.」
After that, the man disappeared from this place without sound.
「…… Hey, he stole the yukata.」
