Glutton Berserker ~The One That Exceeds The Concept Of Levels~ Chapter 149 – Magnificent Public Bath

The public bath had properly separated won and n sections.

Personally I didn’t think mixed baths are a good thing. The pressure would be too high if I were to enter together with Roxy and the girls.

Recently, we had a soul-switching incident thanks to a certain goblin shaman. Back then, my heart was under heavy pressure. It took every little ounce of willpower I had to not have a look at Roxy’s naked body.

I’m after all, a gentleman at heart.

I took off my clothes and entered the bath. By the way I also brought Greed along. After each battle, this black sword is always noisy about being dirty, so I brought him along for so cleaning.

[Isn’t it a bit too wide...]

『A perfect kind of bath for . If it’s any less than this, this wouldn’t even bother to enter.』

Regardless of Greed’s cockiness, it was a really wide bath! Lishua said that she renovated part of the mansion, but this looks more like complete rework.

The place had an adult vibe to it, probably owing to her personality.

[How luxurious of a bath. This is the first ti where I couldn’t see the wall at the end of the room due to the steam.]

『A holy knight, who is also part of the five great families they say......。This much is just bare minimum for !』

[But isn’t this a bit too luxurious? You know full well that this kind of thing doesn’t really suit at all.]

『Fuhn, if you say so fine then. Either way it is a fairly luxury bath. Best enjoy the mont, correct?』

[... I guess so]

Before soaking in the bath, I washed the dust and gri that stuck to my body. Travelling in the desert always had this inconvenience of sand entering through the small openings on our clothes after all.

My inner young boy’s side was getting excited from seeing such a wide bath. Without further ado, I cannonballed into the bath.

My action made a bigger splash and louder noise than I expected.

『Are you a kid!』

[There is only in here, so it should be fine.]

While I was arguing with Greed over whether it’s okay or not, I heard voices coming from beyond the wall.

[Fai, do not jump into the bath!]

[Such a childish action, it’s not fitting for the head of Barbatos family!]

[This bath is an important facility, so please behave yourself!]

Ooo!? Those were the voices of Roxy, Mimir, and Lishua!?

And all of them scolded .

I looked at the wall from which their voice ca out. That wall was most likely the partition separating the n and won section.

Since the wall left so space up to the ceiling, it was possible to talk to other people on the other side.

Out of curiosity, I tried to listen to what happened to Snow who was reluctant to part with earlier.

[Sorry, my bad. I’ll be more careful next ti. By the way, I haven’t heard Snow’s voice. Is she okay?.]

[She is calm and quiet.]

The reply ca from Mimir who was apparently the nearest to Snow at the mont. Good, good.

It’ll be a big ss if she rampaged in the ladies’ bath.

[There, Snow. Fate-sama is just over there.]

[Really? Just over this wall?]

[Yeah, I’m here.]

Hearing an affirmative from , Snow’s voice beca lively once more.

Un un, good then. Wait, what are you going to do again!?

[If that’s so, I’ll head over there!]

[Fua!? Wait what!?]

Following a female shout, a large hole appeared on the wall that separated the two baths.

Without a doubt, it was Snow who did it.

With a smile on her face, she made her way to .

[Together again now!]

[Wait...why?]

My eyes moved toward the huge hole on the wall.

There, I saw the nude body of three won... Damn.

[ [ [ Kyaaaaaaah!] ] ]

I turned around at once, but the sight of their naked figure had already been burned into my brain. I could feel my body temperature rise in no ti. And that’s not because of the already steamy hot air inside the bath.

[...sorry.]

[No, it is... Snow who broke the wal. It is not Fai’s fault.]

Although it’s by force majeure, I did still see their naked bodies. But Roxy forgave .

[How horrible. Seeing naked...]

[Oi, I can hear the giddiness in your voice. It’s not a laughing matter here, you know?]

[That’s not really the case. But since it has co to this, then I shall join Fate-sama over there.]

[That’s strange. Shouldn’t you be angry instead?]

Peeking over my shoulder, I caught Mimir really coming over to the n’s side.

Really now... I wanted to escape, but I couldn’t, since Snow was hugging tightly. This isn’t the ti and place for you to make use of your Area E power, Snow!

[Fate... not gonna let you off this ti.]

[You too!? At tis like this! Snow.]

There’s no escape for . anwhile Mimir unhesitatingly entered the n’s section. I was like prey being cornered by the hunters.

[Where did your embarrassnt from earlier go!]

[There is no getting back on what you’ve seen earlier. Now Fate-sama should also experience the sa embarrassnt!]

[You just enjoy teasing , don’t you?]

[Yep!]

That’s a straightforward reply. How refreshing... very straightforward.

Mimir always seed to get excited whenever she’s teasing . Just like when she’s sucking on my blood.

At this rate, I would be swept along by Mimir’s pace.

Snow also prevented from moving away.

And that was when Roxy interrupted.

[Hold it right there, Mimir!]

[As if I want to. Alright, I’m taking the first dip.]

[You, hold it.]

Though she couldn’t stop Mimir at all. Again, I peeked over my shoulder towards the direction of their voice, and saw Roxy following behind Mimir. Did she even realize that she’s also still naked!?

The situation was only getting worse.

[Awawawa, please don’t. Everyone, not in this place.]

As if it wasn’t enough, way behind the two was Lishua, trying to stop them.

My head could no longer handle the heat. But at least I should try to voice out my concern before getting swept by the flow.

[In the end, everyone ended up coming over!]

I cried, but my voice was easily drowned by the noise of water splashing as they entered the bath.

[Fate-sama!]

[I told you, hold it right there!]

[Awawawa.]

[Everyone! Please stop!]

There’s no stopping them now... all three ca to at the sa ti.

Mimir, Roxy, and Lishua jumped to the bath.

They raised large water columns and rolled up lots of steam. It was a ss!

There’s no way I could enjoy a relaxing bath... not after all these. I didn’t even realize that I no longer held Greed in my hand, as the poor sword was left subrged at the bottom of the bath. He’ll definitely keep a grudge for that.

Oh well, it can be said that he’s enjoying a thorough bathing there.

All that fuss, coupled with the heat from the bath itself had ended up knocking most of the girls out. I, especially, felt really hot, in various different ways.

Feeling dizzy, I fought my way out of the bath, only to hear another voice coming from the entrance.

[You guys, what are you all doing here? I was asleep, but that doesn’t justify leaving out from all the fun.]

[Eris...]

Are you kidding ? At tis like this, when I was already at my weakest.... The most dangerous adversary actually showed herself.

This one, it’s way, way too dangerous!

Mimir rushing to while naked felt like a joke compared to this.

This one, well, this one is real trouble! Far too dangerous!

[By the way, everyone seed flushed from the heat. Can you even lift all of them?]

[Yosh.]

[Ooh, you co to help!]

[I want to join in as well!]

Uaaaaaa! It was stupid of to expect otherwise.

Eris took off the towel that was wrapping around her body. My head was already too dizzy, I couldn’t afford to see her naked now.

Though, what’s left of my clear mind started wondering. If you think about it, Eris... she had deliberately entered the n’s bath.

It’s already suspicious from the very start.

From the beginning, she intended to enter the n’s bath where I was in.

[Dammit!]

[Oya oya, is that cursing because you’re too happy?]

[That’s a very positive thinking coming from you!]

No good. I couldn’t beat Eris. Perhaps because she didn’t fare that well during the sacred beast fight... she’s looking to release so stress now.

But why does her outlet have to be !?

Damn, both Roxy and Lishua who could help were still knocked out in the hot bath.

On the other hand, Snow sohow still stuck to . This... felt like hell on earth.

Maybe, just maybe, I could ask Snow for help?

[Help .]

[Fate, I’m dizzy.]

[Well of course you are!!]

No good. This was really no good.

After saying so, Snow let go of , and joined the other three girls floating unconscious in the hot bath.

[So sohow, the sacred beastkin has beco that little girl huh? That ans my natural enemy is down for the count now.]

[Calm yourself down.]

[It’ll be alright, no worries! Once I feel refreshed, I’ll carry everyone out from the bath...]

Eris’ voice sounded so distant to now. Probably, I was already at my limit.

It’s a fleeting hope, but I had no choice but to believe in Eris to do the rest.

I’m counting on you, Eris.

=====

Sothing cool was draped over my forehead.

It felt good, making want to sleep longer. Along with the feeling of relaxation, consciousness gradually returned to .

The warm hand stroking my cheek also added the sense of comfort.

When I slowly opened my eyes, I found myself laying on a bed in the guest bedroom.

[Looks like you’re finally awake. I guess it can’t be helped since fighting the sacred beast must’ve been very tiring.]

[Eris... did you carry us out of the bath?]

Hearing my first question after waking up, Eris angrily puffed her cheeks.

[That was upsetting. Even so I did carry all of them out of the bath, called the maids to put so clothes on them, then brought each of them to their bedrooms.]

[Thanks. What was I thinking...? Here I am doubting you. ]

[Ahaha, no matter what kind of person do you think I am, I still have a conscience. I couldn’t just leave those girls to stay unconscious in the hot bath area.]

[I see. Sorry then, for many things.]

Eris grinned in return.

[Who said that I did not do anything to Fate?]

[What!?]

This little devil. The moonlight shining through the window only added to Eris’ bewitching air.

[What...did you do?]

I gulped, waiting for Eris’ answer apprehensively.

As if playing with my impatience, she deliberately slowed down her reply.

[After having the maids to take care of Roxy and the others, I got to be alone with a naked Fate.]

[And then?]

[That ans, there is no one else to help you to put on so clothes.]

You arranged all that! So don’t give that “what to do?” kind of face.

[So I pulled you out of the bath house, wiped your body gently with a towel, and carefully put so clothes on you. Then very carefully brought you to this room and laid you comfortably on this bed. I’ve been watching your sleeping face after that.]

[...doing whatever you want as usual.]

[No need to thank . I enjoyed it, in a lot of ways.]

[Don’t say it in such a cryptic way. After all, you simply did what I asked of you. I’ve spent a considerable amount of ti around Eris. I should at least understand one or two things about you.]

She told parts of her past back when we were nightgazing atop the hill at Tetra. Eris usually acted laid back, but I ca to know that despite her having lived a very long life, she’s not without a mont of weakness. Thanks to that, I realized that she’s still human, and it relieved . It made want to help her more than anything.

In turn, it also sparked my interest to know more about Eris. The way she speaks and her actions might feel like a huge tease, but I knew that she had a good head on her shoulders.

And now Eris, bathed in moonlight, I’m not really sure why, looked at shyly.

[It was a privilege. But, thank goodness. We actually won the fight against the sacred beast... I an sacred beastkin. anwhile I was stuck there getting cold feet. Sorry.]

[That’s what the other team mbers are for. Don’t be too worried about it.]

[Thank you, Fate. Although I haven’t told you why I acted like that...]

I already had a rough guess from what she said back at the bath house.

[Eris’ natural enemy...that Libra, he is also a sacred beastkin, isn’t he? The battle must’ve reminded you of him, therefore you acted like that.]

[That’s a good guess. And that’s indeed how it is. But Snow actually has nothing to do with . Now that I think about it, this is the first ti for to et her. I guess there were many kinds of sacred beast out there. It’s just that, Libra’s image kept flashing in my eyes when we fought Snow.]

[I see... that’s relieving.]

If Eris and Snow actually kept a grudge to each other, the situation would beco more complex than already is.

Having that worry to disappear put an ease in my mind.

Eris chuckled, then looked out through the window.

[Fate, I realized this upon seeing your father in the previous fight. Fate’s father, he is...]

[Sorry. But I want to ask Dad personally for that matter.]

I interrupted Eris before she could finish. It’s after all, sothing that I, as Dean Graphite’s son needs to ask him directly.

Eris relented and didn’t pursue the topic any further. After so mont of silence, a sigh escaped her lips as she muttered.

[Your life, it’s actually much more complex than we all thought.]

I didn’t reply to that. Because there was no need to in the first place.

Sothing was definitely going on even before I was born, the first being I sohow was born with Gluttony skill. All I knew about my Mom’s death was that she died from illness... But now that I think about it, that’s probably just Dad’s white lie... because I was still a child back then.

I needed to know what really happened.
