And the next day.

Get ready for the trip, clean up, get the buyout done, in the evening.

When I opened the door to the stripper at the spa facility, there was a naked elf girl.

"" What...?

As time stops, we stare at each other. [M]

That's crazy.

This is the spa facility where you got your bath ticket from Illis, right?

So, they showed me at the entrance, and I should have come to a place called a rented out bath...

"Huh? Huh? Huh?

The elf girl is staring at us.

She's stiff with the last one down to her knees. The hair is fluffy pink. I'm looking at you with blue eyes. Everywhere the skin is bright white, and that gradually turns bright red from the ear's just look. Keeping my gaze straight, and forgetting to hide my body, the elf girl is shivering as she sifts.

Is that the wrong place for me to go in?

But this is where the receptionist showed me that it's here.

Of course Illis knows I'm coming here.

And the fact that there's a girl...

Maybe hot springs in different worlds are basic for mixed bathing?

Then be polite here.

"Oh, thank you. Beautiful weather."

"Huh? That? Yes. It's a great hot spring day."

"Are you going to take a bath?

"Oh, yeah, yeah."

"Neither do I. Because I got a bath ticket for someone I know."

"Uh... oh, yes, come with me then... no!

The bright red elf girl covered her body with the cloth she had.

Apparently it wasn't a mixed bath.

"Why would a man come in! Heh, heh, heh, heh!

"You're not a pervert!

"Oh, yes, I'm so sorry!

Unexpectedly, the elf girl shook her body and bowed her head.

What is this vestigial sense of vision (deja vu)?

Looks like the same thing happened before...?

"I'm sorry. I shouted out loud."

"No, I'm sorry to call you pervert."

Bow fight.

I turned around because I couldn't stay like this.

Behind you, and signs of wearing clothes.

"Um, I... someone invited me here. I'm not a pervert. It's true."

"Oh, me, in relation to your work. Well, he told me to go into the hot springs and rest because he worked well for me..."

"Sorry. - Wrong. - Eh. Rafilia-Grace. If you're an adventurer, take a bath here."

Outside the stripper, there was a voice from the facility clerk.

".................. I'm not following you"

I felt disappointed, and I heard an elf girl snap.

Were you one of the adventurers?

Is it because of the sense of vision I just felt? Maybe we're seeing each other somewhere.

"Ugh... sorry. I was the one who was wrong."

An elf girl who checked up on herself came in front of me and bowed her head.

"I'm sorry I showed you something ugly. Forget it."

"No, sorry to bother you."

Two bowing matches.

The elf girl fluttered and left the stripper.

... You were such a lucky girl.

"Phew. Phew."

I stretched out my hands and legs in the tub.

It's been a long time since I've seen anything like this... or maybe it's the first time I've been born into a hot spring.

The bathroom is made of stone, and above the wall opposite the stripper, the windows open for ventilation and lighting. The tub is circular, with columns leading up to the ceiling in the middle. From there, a slightly lukewarm hot spring is pouring out.

"I wish everyone had come too"

But Cecil got ready for the trip, Rita didn't grab it because she was running around bright red, Eine cleaned up and cleaned up the separation, and Leticia said, "I don't want to be out of company," and in the end, I was alone.

To celebrate the case resolution, I thought.

"... Fake Demons, huh?"

The case should have been solved, but it's not refreshing.

If he was the same visitor as me, he would have been summoned as a brave man. And the king used me to... dump me and still want to go back to my former brave man. I don't know why I'm so obsessed with the brave. It feels like "brave animal."

If those things are raging around, they're worse than demons.

Illis would be shocked, too.

The fact that I was targeted got me into one of the towns.

He was around apologizing to one of the adventurers for looking as good as Cecil did "because Illis is in charge". He said that compensation would be decent.

"... can't you tell me to give me the 'crude'?"

Well, no.

They'll pay you nothing, and I got a bath ticket for the hot springs.

That's fine with us.

Because if you want too much, you're afraid of the rest.

"... I guess it's just relaxing enough. And then..."

And then what can you do with "Life Negotiation" Food Negotiation LV1 "? If you can't live without working, think about how you can live with less time and amount of work to the limit.

"………………"

At the stripper, I heard a noise.

Looks like someone came in.

I'm moving to the back of the pillar. This bath should be rented by Illis.

... So it's the Regular Soldier who came in? You're from the legion that just followed me.

…………………… OK. Let's go up.

As an unnamed adventurer, I don't really want to look at each other.

"... excuse me"

Coming.

Beyond the hot air, I see a small shadow.

I took a detour so they wouldn't notice, and I went to the stripper and...

"Sauma. Are you there......?

Pi.

As if walking in some royal palace or palace or something like that, gracefully.

Barefoot, stepping on a damp stone floor.

Dressed in a smooth body with just a cloth wrapped around it for a bath.

A girl with green hair, looking anxiously around her left and right, came into the bathroom.

It was Illis.

"Ah, Souma, there you are. Good."

Ilis found me and laughed relieved.

"... why is Iris here?

"Souma and I wanted to talk to you alone."

Iris said so, sitting on the edge of the hot tub.

He's holding his chest in shame and looking at me on this side of the pillar.

"If you're worried about a raid, you'll be fine. Now this spa facility is surrounded by soldiers who have just arrived from Ilgafa. It's a bug crawling. I'm sorry."

Instead I was worried.

Me and Illis are the only ones in the rented out bathroom.

There are no other signs of people. I just hear the sound of hot water running.

Speaking of which, I was going to ask Irgafa about her.

It didn't last long, I said.

"We're going to settle down, so I guess the process, the structure of the town, and then the security... That's what I want you to tell Iris."

"Right. I think you should keep your resident registration if you live long enough. The structure of the town is difficult to explain unless it is a diagram. I think it's safe. There are rivalries between merchant guilds, but basically they can't resist the Ilgafa Lords"

Even the answer returns.

That's "The Sea Dragon Witch," tiny but brilliant.

"I can't defy you, because you have the right to sign a contract with a 'sea dragon'?

"That's right. Only the Lords can do that."

"I wonder if it's okay for people like us to live in a town like that."

"It's a shipping town, right? Some people come across the ocean, and there's usually an Adventurer's Guild. I would like to offer you that Illis be the nominee for the registration of residents. More information about your questions will be sent to Souma later."

"One more question. Is the Demon King (...) really there (...)?"

I've always wondered.

The king said there is a demon king. So we were summoned.

But we haven't seen one thing in our journey so far that we can believe there's a demon king. There are demons, but it's nobles and abandoned visitors who are rampaging. I don't really understand the threat of the Demon King.

"... Yes, I think. Ilgafa sends support supplies by sea. The supplies must have been landed in a harbor across the ocean and transported from there to a border fort fighting the Demon King's Army."

"Well, you don't know where you're going from the harbor."

"Yes, His Majesty's soldiers will be transporting all the way to the border… but whatever it takes…"

"Sorry, it's just an idea"

How much can anything be?

If there were no demon king, the king would be using the Demon King Crusade (...) as an excuse (...) to summon brave men for another purpose.

You're paranoid no matter what you think. That.

"If you're curious, I'll talk to the personnel in charge of supplies across the border."

"You don't have to get that far. If only Iris could tell us what he knows."

"No."

Ilis shook his neck sideways as he sat on the edge of the bath.

"Souma owes you so much that you can't give it back." Whoever helps each other in a storm can be a lifelong family, "says Ilgafa."

"Family......" It's natural to help your friends. "

Sometimes he wanted to know who the Fake Demons were.

But it's true that you wanted to help Illis catch us as friends. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have used my cheat skills to intervene in combat or anything.

"Yes, Souma and Iris are friends."

That's what Illis laughed at.

When I do this, I feel like a normal little girl.

"Iris and... Souma, are you friends?

"Ugh, yeah."

Why are you checking with such a worried face?

"If you're friends, it's obvious enough to take a bath with you, right? You don't hide things, do you?

"Taking a bath depends on the customs of the area, and I think you can hide something."

"Well, in the customs of England, your friends take a bath with you, and you don't hide things, okay?

In an instant the logic over here was taken backwards.

That's Iris. I wonder how high her negotiating skills are.

"Even a friend of mine was grateful."

Illis blinked her eyes like she dreamed, crushing.

"Talking about dreams, delusions and people you like is called" Friends LV1, "having a sleepover party or an exchange log is called" LV2, "and" LV9 "is the one that goes around the dead line with you and doesn't hide anything, right?

"Even a friend of Illis treats you like a skill...?

"Sauma and Iris are hanging around the dead line together, so it's" Friends LV9 ". So, Illis wants you to know everything about Souma."

With that said, Iris took the toilet bucket he had left in the bathroom and shrugged the hot water.

Keep it up, from your own shoulder, squeak, squeak. It's called kake water.

... because of the hot air?

Something green appeared to float on Iris' skin.

"This is a testament to what the devil desires: the blood of the sea dragon."

Iris turned his back on me and dropped the cloth to his waist.

Lumpy, tight back.

There was a green scale around his shoulder.

High, plugged in through a light removal window, bright red sunset.

The scales of Illis, in reflection of it, are blurry and radiant.

"... Sea Dragon Scale"

"Yes."

Games and all that are common. Half a man, half a dragon.

In the case of Illis, this is how the gene of your ancestor, the daughter of a sea dragon, is revealed?

"When you get wet in the water, the scales of the sea dragon are revealed. All I know about this is my family... and the people who take care of me around me."

"I see. So, is this scale defensive?

"Me, pussy, is it?

"Yeah. Speaking of dragon scales, it's also a symbol of inviolable defense."

"Sa, come on. I've never even thought about it. Although bumping it doesn't hurt much."

"Right. It's a dragon. That's cool."

Oops. That would be rude if you looked too closely.

Dragon. Dragon. That's right.

It's a fantasy world, so some girls draw dragons and dragon blood.

"... for the first time"

"Huh?"

"If you told me the scales of Illis were cool,"

"... it wasn't fantasy-- it's a world of swords and magic, so it's not as obvious as scales?

"No...... I hear that my daughter who draws' Sea Dragon Blood 'used to be locked up as soon as she was born and never went outside except during the' Sea Dragon Festival '. Times go on, and this is how Illis can normally walk outside... but sometimes they say it's disgusting after all"

Ilis pounded, pounded and crushed.

"It was really hard to find a maid to take care of Illis. The only thing I didn't care about when I saw this scale was the maid Matilda..."

Was that why you were doing the side of Illis with that personality?

There's something good about everyone.

"They say 'Sea Dragon Witch', but Illis is really a boring thing. Because if you go back to Ilgafa, you only have 'Sea Dragon Festival' and as much help as your father does with his work. The truth is, it's not worth it enough for the soldiers to abandon themselves and protect themselves. What matters is the blood of a sea dragon..."

Iris put the cloth back on his body and turned this way.

And I laughed sarcastically.

"I thought nobody cared about scales and details because it's a world with humans and demi-humans"

"That's the kind of world that makes people hate people who don't know if they're demons or not."

"But Illis is good, isn't he?

"If someone you don't know can work better than yourself, you'll feel bad, won't you?

... There is, you know.

I'm in the bottom of the line, but I'm in trouble without you. A guy who can work better than himself. Yeah, but someone you can't rule out, something like that. Because the wind to that kind of thing is pretty strong.

"Working for Ilgafa is a summary of what was born in the Lordship. I don't mind that... when" The Blood of the Sea Dragon "is targeted to life, that's right, so is Iris"

"Don't snap."

"Heck...... yes, that expression fits. Illis, I'll snap."

Iris held her breasts wrapped in cloth and laughed.

"So, as a senior in life and life, I'd like you to consult with Souma. Sneak."

"A senior in life. I'm not living that long."

"But you've brought three slaves, haven't you? Besides, ladies and gentlemen, you admire Sauma. Yet they are all close. Souma who can do that must be both sour and sweet in life!

"I wonder"

My slaves are friendly because simple stories, Cecil thinks everyone else is like family and Rita loves Cecil and Eine is a friend. Eine loves serving and enjoys working for everyone.

Leggy of the Devil's Sword looked at everyone like that and said, "That's my prospective lord. Come on, let's have kids with these guys," but that's it.

"So, what's the consultation?

"Yes, this is a secret to everyone...... kuchi-kun!

Little sneeze.

Iris holds his mouth. She turned her back on me and loosened the cloth that was on her body.

When I turn back, Chip, and the sound of my little body sinking in hot water.

Looking back, Ilis, immersed in a hot spring to his shoulder, was inviting me.

"... if you speak out loud, you may sound like a soldier outside. By your side."

"Eh."

"Mischief,. Let's talk sneaky. Souma."

Ilis laughs mischievously as he turns his back on me.

... Well, okay.

I approached Illis and sat with my back to her.

The thin back is on my back. [M]

Skin is slightly cherry blossom. But around the shoulder, the green scales are floating. On my back, it conveys a feeling of tightness. I don't feel anything disgusting or weird. Just enough to realize once again that this place is a different world.

"It looks like Illis has become a bad boy."

Leave your back with me, said Illis.

"I'm starting to feel heavy about being a 'Sea Dragon Witch'"

"Yeah, I think if I were Illis, I'd be on the run."

In fact, the mission of The Sea Dragon Witch is too heavy just to ask. I can't even go out freely for the annual festival, and if I finally think I'm out, they're after my life. Besides, my men don't listen. The only people I can forgive are us adventurers who have no interest in.

For a day's work, it's like I'm being held for another 364 days.

"For the time being, I guess I could try to stay out of the witch's shoes."

I am Illis' friend 'and owe nothing to Lord Ilgafa.

So here, let me say something irresponsible.

"'The Sea Dragon Festival' is only once a year, isn't it? Then on your free day, as much as you disguise yourself and hang out with distractions, will you forgive me? Of course, it'll mean after this case is completely cleaned up. If you need an escort, we can help."

"... I have asked my parents to do the same before. But I couldn't."

"Why?"

"What if something happens and I can't get back by the festival day..."

Iris snapped snugly.

"This is my mother's fifth birthday, so she finally allowed me to travel. Now that this is happening, you probably won't be able to let me out for a while."

The fate of a witch.

I admire being a "picker" when it comes to games and novels, but if you think about it, it's a one-off talent, so you're not free to act.

In the case of Illis, we lose the protection of the sea dragon when she's gone. That means her presence depends on all the shipping of Ilgafa. So I don't have the freedom to move. I don't have the freedom to choose my job either. And the damage is done around by those guys who are hanging around in that blood...

Oh well.

"The Chosen One" was, in a way, a black worker with integrated work and life......

"How to renew your contract with 'Sea Dragon Kelkattle' without Illis?

"There are only two"

"What about the first one?

"It's about Illis making children."

Over my back, I could see my little body twitching.

"If you make a child and 'Sea Dragon Blood' moves to that child, Illis will be free from the work of a witch. But..."

"Don't you want to do it because it's about letting children carry the same fate as Illis?

"…. Besides, Illis hasn't even had a first love yet."

That can't be too much, Iris.

"What's the second way?

"If you perform the ritual with the brave men of the sea dragon, you will no longer need a festival while Illis is alive. So it's the first ritual reenactment."

"A reenactment...... you mean to do the ritual of" Daughter of the Sea Dragon "and" Soul "of a human boy again?

"Yes. It doesn't have to be 'Soul Soul'. Anyway, if Illis, who draws the blood of 'Daughter of the Sea Dragon', is linked to a boy with a sign of bravery, then the sea dragon will admit it. That will eliminate the need for a festival while Illis and the boy are alive"

"Which means if we find the sea dragon brave, Illis will be free from the role of witch"

"Yes, when I come into contact with a brave man, the scales of Illis shine in pearl color, so I know."

If there are sea dragon braves, Illis will be free from the witch ritual.

And if you come into contact with that brave man, you know because the scales shine in pearlescent color.

... or the conditions are too tight.

"... it's hard, isn't it? You need to defeat the natural enemies of a sea dragon to be a brave man. The scales of its natural enemies are a sign of bravery. But there's no way anyone can defeat such a giant demon... These are not legendary times..."

Iris, are you crying?

Leaning against my back, my little body was shaking.

Illis bears the fate of the port town of Ilgafa. And Iris himself is deeply connected to the town. I may be able to take him out, but if anything happens to Ilgafa, Ilis will always care, I'm sure.

'The Chosen One'... that's tough.

Both Illis and the brave.

Why, kings and counts and that fake demon tribe want to be like that.

"We're going to settle in Ilgafa for a while."

"... souma... mama?

"If Illis is tired of playing witch, I guess he should come visit us. However, I can't make a special appointment. If I'm busy at work, I'll get help, and I'll get dressed and bathed with my slaves, if that's all right."

Of course, sneak in if you're coming. I don't care if you're a patient.

"Ha, ha! Thank you... Nagi... yes... thank you."

Iris was holding her face with both hands.

Looking back, the scales of Illis are green. Well, of course.

The natural enemy of a sea dragon means that he is supposed to be an epic demon. I don't think we'll ever meet... but if we do, let's see if Cecil's supermassive magic can take off one of the scales.

"Sa, you'll go up first. I kind of put it up."

Illis twinkles and rises with the water noise.

I rushed forward. [M]

"Souma, please take your time. Until departure, this facility will be available many times, if you don't mind, my people...... Bye!

The door opened and closed.

How to save the 'Chosen One'?

Maybe that's hard enough to defeat the Demon King.

"... Illis has done something very wrong"

At the stripper, Illis was wiping his wet body.

My appearance with little ups and downs. It turns bright red just thinking about what Souma would have thought.

But after all, Sauma-Nagi was' your friend '.

I can't stop laughing sooner, even if I know I can't.

I jump unexpectedly.

Ilis made friends. Maybe not all the time, but he'll be in the same town.

He told me to come and see you anytime.

That's it, I don't need anything anymore. You don't have to be something else.

"Let's play with what. Let's start with my own Poem recital? Or shall we talk about love overnight, capturing pillows?"

Blinking in the tone of his dreams, Illis wore underwear.

That's when I realized.

It was a moment. It showed up and quickly disappeared.

"... is the illusion of the eye..."

Iris held down his little chest. Sometimes the heart doesn't stop.

Just now, for a moment,

Because the scales of Illis seemed to shine in pearl color (...).
