Why is that? I know it might sound stupid from because I already told that a number of tis, but it is an option that we simply cannot allow ourselves to take, because with that many people around on every floor (the higher floors might have less people, but at this point in ti this is purely my speculation and not a confird information) there will always be the danger that soone might see either using magic or swinging Durandal around, and we cannot afford to go to the higher floors where there would be less of them too fast without proper preparations. Should we try doing that after all and take the risk? Or should we stop and continue at our current pace that is relatively safe and risk-free?
Putting that musings aside for the ti being, we made a round around the Veil Labyrinths lower floors where I got my MP back after taking out a few Kobolds and Green Caterpillars. Since I have my Bonus Skills that give more EXP for defeating enemies and lowers the amount of EXP required for Level Ups, then maybe if I gain enough levels with the Mage Job, I will get so much MP that what we are doing right now will no longer be necessary? Well, I guess I will just have to wait and see, and remain patient until then.
Another thing that I sincerely hope will improve with ti, would be my speed of switching between sets of equipnt whenever I reset my character from a Durandal-focused build to a magic-focused one, because I have to do it every single ti whenever there might be people around in the Labyrinths. All for the sake of keeping my abilities and OP sword a secret from others. That being said, did my Bonus Skills list contained sothing like a Skill that allowed you to keep like two sets of different items that could be switched between at any ti? Because I dont think it did, which is a kind of a sha, because that would be very useful in our current situation, not to ntion that it would be pretty neat to swing Durandal at one mont only to change it to wand and magic on the spot.
Ugh, if itll always take so long to prepare, then I am afraid we will be forced to only take baths once a week at best.
Once per week? What does that an, master?
It ans once or twice every ten days.
Is that a big issue?
Not as much an issue as you know what? Nevermind.
That was a small conversation that happened between us when we went to the Labyrinth so that I could recover my lost MP for the second ti. Well, instead of a conversation, I guess it would be mor accurate to say that it was just complaining while Roxanne listened to without saying as much as a word. As such, I am sure that even though she would never have said that out loud, Roxanne is probably thinking that I must be so kind of unhinged weirdo who uses incomprehensible words that no one besides understands. Its a good thing that she bought my story about hailing from a distant eastern country (which is not technically wrong, by the way, since back in my old world, Japanwasan eastern island nation), because I can always explain it by saying that this is how the people of that land to the east, whatever that land can actually be, talk during their everyday lives. Also, this exchange of ours allowed to discover an interesting tidbit of information about this world: even though they have sothing akin to a calendar that allows them to track down the progress of ti needed to know things like when will be the day of collecting taxes or when the first day of spring will arrive, there seems to be no concept of a week here, which admittedly is pretty weird, but ultimately I guess it should not hinder any of my plans for living here all that much.
When we got back ho and resud the process of filling the bathtub, the temperature of the entire room began to steadily rise, until at one point the entire bathroom was basically turned into a sauna, thats how hot and steamy it actually got, to the point where it was getting a wee bit difficult for to breathe. For the ti being I asked Roxanne to wait outside of the bathroom since I didnt want her to get affected by the heat, since just by staying in that steaming hot room for a while I have beco so drenched in sweat as if it was a scorching-hot sumr day. I worked on filling the bathtub like that until I almost ran out of MP again.
Here you go, master. Have yourself a towel to wipe all of that sweat off.
Thank you, Roxanne. Youre just too kind.
When I left the room to avoid turning into a dried-up, shriveled mummy, Roxanne was already waiting for outside with a clean towel in tow. I gratefully took it from her and used it to wipe the sweat off my face.
What do you want to do now, master? Are we going to the Labyrinth one more ti?
Yeah, you got that right. We are heading to the Labyrinth alright.
With the washcloth that she gave to , I wiped the sweat off my face and neck. I probably have so of it on my back as well, but theres no ti for to be worrying about sothing so trivial when we need to go to the Labyrinth again. Co to think of it, how long have we been repeating the cycle of filling the jugs with water, heating them up, filling the bathtub until I run out of MP and going back and forth between our house and the Labyrinth to replenish it? Was it an hour, two hours or even longer? I dont really know, but I do know one thing: if I am willing to go to such lengths just to have a bath with Roxanne, then it has to an that I am a huge pervert. But you know what? I am perfectly fine with that. If having a willpower of steel and determination to go through with anything that is necessary to complete the goal you have set out to do makes you a pervert, then I will gladly beco one.
After going back from the MP recovering trip I continued the work of filling the bathtub, until finally it looked like there was enough water in it for us to have a nice, long soak. It took way more ti than I would have liked it to take, but hopefully the end result is going to be well worth it. All that is left to do now is to prepare a few spare jugs with hot water, just in case that the current amount of it was not enough after all.
Alright I think I think it is finally ready.
I declared with a triumphantly panting voice after walking out of the bathroom. Right now, the bathtub is filled with hot water in about ninety percent, give or take, resulting in the entire room being filled with piping-hot steam. Its a sha that this room does not have a window or any kind of ventilation shaft in it, because that way we might end up getting light-headed in no ti.
Thank you for your hard work, master. You look tired, are you sure you dont want to rest for a bit?
Thank you for worrying about , but Im fine. Since we still have so ti, lets use it to go to the Labyrinth one more ti and then have dinner once we return. And once we are done eating, then we can have a bath together.
I got another washcloth from Roxanne and wiped the sweat off of once more. It only occurred to in the middle of it that I could have not done that since I am going to enter the bath in a few monts. But first we have to eat dinner. Only then after we finish eating we will enter the bath. The bathtub should be able to keep the water heated for so ti, so we do not have to worry about arriving in the bathroom after dinner only to find an ice-cold bath.
Uhm Are you sure it is okay for to take a bath together with you, master?
Of course it is okay for you to do so, Roxanne. After all, I have ordered this bathtub to be made the way it is made with exactly that intention in mind.
