"Phew..."

Soaking in white, cloudy water, he heard such a voice.

Letterio Costantini, 23. Deputy captain of the Veneti II Knights Venetos Labyrinth Expedition.

It's a girl's house I just met a few days ago, and I'm taking a bath for some reason.

"A morning bath or something too mysterious at the dawn of the labyrinth"

It's a real mystery.

And it's morning. If I said, "I've taken a morning bath at a girl's house where I live alone (there's Salamander and Ketsey)," most people would misunderstand me.

But I don't see anything nasty about this either.

"I don't know what to say... it's a chig hug"

I think Iris is a bit of a funny girl.

He showed a little nervousness when he put him on a horse to the castle gate or when he pulled his hand in the city. If I tried to treat you like a cheap child, I would look unwilling this time.

But in the labyrinth, he took off his robe indefensibly and showed his shoulders, and he showed no nervousness about sleeping side by side in the camp (say there are people around him), and on top of that, he easily invites him home to take a bath.

Her feelings with the women she has dealt with before seem different and difficult to balance.

Huh. I exhaled and put my hands and legs out of the cat foot tub.

I was soaking it up to my shoulder and it got hotter than I thought.

"... I guess it's because of the hot spring bath bomb"

The large tub has plenty of hot water. And the smell of a unique hot spring that remains even if it melts, and I'm sure this is the alchemist's arm and playfulness.

From the bath bomb I dropped in hot water, is it carbonated? There will always be patchy bubbles, and the herbal and citrus aromas formulated every time it starts to smell.

"Yeah. It doesn't smell muddy"

Yeah, and I smelled myself.

Oh, yeah. Even just now. How dare you, it's something that smelled like a cat like that to me.

I laugh bitterly at what I accidentally get excited about, but that's Iris I shouldn't do.

"It would definitely be bad if I did it. I am."

- Oh.

Oh, well.

Could she be comfortable with contact from me, but not with contact from herself?

Speaking of the 17-year-old who was dealing with him in Wang Du, he was a fine lady and strong with some of the nascent parts. Women of the same age who came here and got involved, some children with jobs and families, behave as adults.

But Iris still seems to be lacking in being objective about herself, remaining innocent distance like a child.

Even on the way home from the labyrinth, we talked about portable food.

"Mr. Letterio, my bread...... do you really dedicate yourself to the Marquis? Apprentice Alchemist's handmade bread, right?

Iris doesn't hide his anxious look and says that again.

"Iris, your research is amazing, isn't it?

"No, but... it has a potion effect... but it's the Marquis of Venesti, the great lord of the West, right? Bread under study on the clouds......"

"Delicious, but hey! My bread!

"Yeah! The bread Ignis baked for me is delicious, and that's why it's potion effect, but..."

"Anxious to be important?

When I said that, Iris looked a little difficult and nodded.

"It's just the beginning of a bake, and it's not that different from eating my phone and drinking a meal and potion together?

"Ha! It's going to change. Meals are essential. Besides, Iris' cell phone food is delicious. You're gonna eat it and you're gonna be soothed physically and mentally, right? In the labyrinth, of course, in the battlefield."

Battlefield.

Iris opened his eyes to that word, which was never pictorial to himself, a knight.

"Is there going to be a war...?

"Not right now. However, the Marquis de Veneti borders the border. That's why the Marquis is so interested in soldier stations and portable food."

Iris is totally unexpected! I looked at him even more and I was stunned.

"I wonder if Iris has a low self-esteem"

Pochan, play with white water.

The childishness that remains unbalanced may also be seen if you consider Iris' environment.

She entered the workshop three years ago, so at the age of 14 she would have come out of her hometown of Dormire to Venetos, the largest city in the West. Hometown is not a big regional city. I'm sure he was treated like a child even when he was near adulthood, with all the facial acquaintances since he was born.

Even when I welcome adults, the teachers in the workshop are women and all of the same sex in their contemporaries. I was unfamiliar with the city, and this is my first labyrinth.

I guess she barely got out of the workshop forest.

Her world is so small, full of women. Besides, apprenticeship alchemists —— learning is what students do.

I'm sure Iris is still on his way up the adult stairs.

Kusuri and his grin spill.

Still half a serving, grumpy, innocent, hard-working...

"Cute, what a long time I haven't thought of that"

Unexpectedly. Sulri and those words leaked out of his mouth and wiped his face with Bashan and hot water.

He said moist, cloudy water is good for his skin, and doing this isn't something because he got upset.

The fact that the cheeks are hot must also be due to this hot spring.

"With..."

Sitting on the edge of the tub, the colorful soaps lining the walls caught my eye. I'm sure this is also the fruit of experimentation and practice in the window, some showers are embedded with color vitreous and fitted with demonic stones.

Is it the preference of the teachers who built this place, or is this what all the alchemists are like... No, you're not. The alchemist I know well is the extreme choice between doing a noisy experiment or sleeping if you have time to take a bath.

I guess it's the Lord's preference here. But even in this country, which has a habit of taking a bath, the enrichment so far is hard to see.

Plus this' Hot Springs Bath Bomb 'given to Iris is a bit of a surprise item.

What kind of alchemist is she in her hometown to recreate and further evolve so many hot springs? He said it would be a souvenir, but if it was sold successfully in Wangdu, it would be a popular product.

"Dormire."

At the northwestern edge of the kingdom, on that land with the volcano, there is an old gaga.

I hear it's too old and few people talk or know anymore.

"The Spirit of Dormire's Flame (Salamander) …"

That, too, is that adorable looking Ignis.

Is it a coincidence or because it's a Dormire?

"Well, can't you even think about it"

Ignis is a good spirit and adorable, and his contractor is Iris... I'm sure he won't have to worry about anything.

"It's good to meet Iris and Ignis..."

If Iris' immediate goal is next year's alchemist approval exam, the time left for her is one more year.

In the meantime, I'll ask her to eat a portable meal, to achieve as much as I can, and I'll dive deep into the labyrinth and explore.

That's the best, and it's for each other.

"Are you lucky or bad -"

I've been coming to Venetos and joining the Knights for a year and a half. Both the labyrinth exploration, which was too hand-explored to proceed as late, and Deputy Bardo, who should have retired, have managed to do so.

I finally got the Labyrinth Expedition to assign a rookie a little extra time as well.

"I thought I had to go home as soon as I had a piece (...) with (...) and (...)"

I wonder what kind of sigh this is.

"One more year..."

When he leaned down, his exhalation and Shizukuishi rippled and swayed bright white water.
