17 – Washing (1)

Isn’t there a saying that the better the medicine, the more bitter it is?

I don’t know if that’s true or not, but it was so bitter that I almost spit it out again as soon as I put it in my mouth.

– Mumbling.

That time when I was holding back tears and chewing.

-Owner. How delicious is it? Why do you shed tears?

Jukchang playing with me with a mean voice.

Instead of answering her question.

-Kwaak!

-Ugh!

I just grabbed it with all my might.

The moment I swallowed the elixir while trying to ignore Jukchang’s screams.

-Gurgling.

A ray of cold sweat begins to flow from the forehead.

Then after a while.

“Whoa…”

Secretion flowing like a waterfall.

I feel like I’m going to pass out if I don’t hold on to my spirit.

‘Let’s concentrate as much as possible.’

I began to sit cross-legged and accept the new power flowing from my whole body.

In addition, I slowly increased my magic power to eliminate as much of the secretions in my body as possible.

Approximately 30 minutes later.

“Whoa…”

Soon, the elixir was completely digested.

The moment I let out a shallow sigh and slowly open my eyes.

– Jump!

A door that suddenly opens.

Soon, I turned my head towards that place.

“Jane? “What’s happening all of a sudden?”

“Ah, that…”

She rolled her eyes and looked embarrassed at my question.

I guess he didn’t expect to see me drenched in sweat.

When I looked at her intently as if questioning her, she lifted her head as if she remembered something and made an excuse.

“Ah! “It’s because I suddenly felt magical power in your room.”

“······.”

I was at a loss for words with such a shameless expression, but it was true that she radiated her magical power as she said.

I didn’t need to ask any more questions.

Instead, I answered her question.

“I was just emitting magical power for training.”

“I see. By the way, master.”

At that time, she calls me in her worldly voice.

As I tilt my head, Jane looks at me and says.

“It looks like I need to take a shower.”

“Ah…”

The area around me is definitely covered in sweat, so I need to take a shower.

But, no matter what, do you really have to frown like that?!

-Owner. Even as a weapon, the smell is really bad!

‘Thanks for the facts, guy!’

That time when I was internally reacting to Jukchang’s tackle.

“Master. “After a long time, I will wash you.”

“Huh?”

Unexpected words came out of Jane’s mouth.

At the same time as my brain stopped for a moment, I opened my mouth without realizing it.

“Suddenly?”

“Ah, haven’t I been washing you since you were a child? “I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to wash it after a long time.”

The moment I was possessed was when Elric became a professor.

I’m not sure if that’s true because she never washed me in her previous episodes.

-Isn’t that just a lie, master?

‘Hmm. But it might not be a lie.’

I lived in modern times, so all I had to do was take care of it myself.

Originally, aside from washing, the other things were usually done by the maids and butlers.

-So what should the owner do?

‘Hmm. ‘I’ll accept it.’

Compared to other women, Jane belongs to the noble class.

Her job was originally my exclusive maid.

As a result, they don’t try to attack me when it’s work-related.

‘Still, just in case, I’ll take you with me!’

-In the end, you don’t believe it.

‘Uh huh. Rather than not believing, it’s better to prepare for the unknown.’

Thinking like that, I moved my gaze to Jane.

“Okay. Okay. “Then I’ll go to the bathhouse first.”

“······Ah! Yes. All right. Young master.”

With those words, I took a step toward the bathhouse in the mansion.

Jane seemed a bit surprised, but I guess it was my mistake.

***

A bathhouse that always looks grandiose.

It feels as if I have rented a modern sauna.

“Haa…”

The moment you enter the hot tub, your entire body loses strength.

At that time.

-Owner I feel like some kind of thick liquid is entering my body!

Isn’t Jukchang, who has turned into a ring, making remarks that can be misunderstood by the world?

‘Why are you explaining it like that?’

-hehehe. But it’s true.

I was shocked by her reaction, but it probably wasn’t wrong.

Because the hot water I’m in right now is not ordinary water.

-I think the owner’s family is very versatile. How did they create something like this? This legendary Jukchang will approve, ahem!

‘The person concerned doesn’t care whether you admit it or not.’

I laughed out loud at Jukchang’s taunts.

Soon, my gaze briefly turned to the hot spring water.

‘Well, it’s amazing.’

The water in the bathhouse is none other than hot spring water imbued with magical power.

After making a faucet with a magic stone, I gave it the lowest level magic, water.

This may seem very easy, but enchanting a magic stone is more difficult than you might think.

If you make a little mistake, the magic stone may bounce back and explode.

‘If you do it wrong, your hands will fly off.’

Anyway, what happens afterward is more important than that.

Considering my growth now, I can easily defeat the devil.

Didn’t he suddenly become stronger thanks to the elixir and the artist’s compensation?

Moreover, thanks to the training we do every time, we are growing rapidly and steeply.

If you look at this, it looks good, but it’s not true.

‘If I become stronger too quickly and defeat the Demon King, it is obvious that I will return again.’

Didn’t you say something about the previous episode being too sudden?

Of course, I also feel a little unfair because I couldn’t even imagine that the Demon King would get hit with a few bamboo spears and go away.

Anyway, the conclusion is that if things continue like this, it is as obvious that we will return again.

‘Then it would be better to have the main character be captured rather than me.’

Sai, the main character in the novel.

He is the hero the devil was looking for.

According to the rules, it is natural for him to catch the final boss, the Demon King.

However.

‘The problem is that this guy is not that strong.’

After checking, his strength is at most that of a student.

He’s so weak that it’s a shame to compare him to me.

The good news is that.

‘This guy is in the class I’m teaching.’

Thinking like that, I fell into deep trouble about what to do next.

***

Same time.

When Elric entered the bathhouse and was lost in thought.

“Hmm…”

On the other hand, Jane was deep in thought with a complex expression.

‘After all, wasn’t that person a master?’

Thinking like that, I briefly remembered what happened an hour ago.

***

About an hour ago.

A man presumed to be a master disappeared with a necklace of dependency in his possession.

If there is any consolation, it is that there were demons around who could vent their anger.

So, after venting his anger on the demons around him, he quickly returned to the mansion.

‘If it goes as expected, it will probably be an hour at most since you arrived.’

After coming in and checking, this is the result.

Sure enough, he was in the room.

However, the strange thing is that I sweated a lot in the room.

It could have been because he was in a hurry to run away, but the surrounding area was too covered in sweat for that to be the case.

Looking at the traces alone, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he sweated for several hours.

‘Hmm. No matter how much I thought about it, he seemed like a master.’

Movement, breathing, and tone of voice.

A habit that was secretly revealed there.

When anyone saw all of this, he was no different from Elric.

A method that suddenly passed through Jane’s mind while she was unable to understand it.

‘I’m sure it would be okay to check it this way.’

So she suggested washing it to check in the way she came up with.

Of course, normally I would refuse, but that doesn’t really matter.

No. Actually, it’s good to wash it, but ugh.

Anyway, more than that, we need to check whether he took the necklace of subordination.

If he had taken it, wouldn’t he have put it in his space pocket?

‘You can check while the master is washing up.’

Anyway, it is obvious that you will refuse due to your personality.

That time when she was so confident in her heart.

“Okay. Okay. “Then I’ll go to the bathhouse first.”

Contrary to expectations, Elric accepted the offer quickly.

Soon, her brain stopped for a moment.

However, she, who has worked as a professional assassin up until now, quickly adjusted her expression.

“······Ah! Yes. All right. Young master.”

With those words, Elric heads towards her bathhouse.

Jane shook her head and shook her thoughts for a moment.

Soon after, I checked the space pouch that the master had left in her room.

‘There is no necklace of subordination.’

Contrary to expectations, the subordinate necklace was not visible at all.

If he had taken the necklace of subordination, it would have been normal if it was in a subspace pocket.

However, seeing that it is not here, regardless of its identity, what is certain is that he did not take it.

‘I shouldn’t have believed what that succubus said.’

She was crying and crying, so I thought it was true, but it turned out to be a lie.

Jane sighed deeply and walked towards her bath.

“Haa…”

Still, I think positively.

Even though I lost the necklace of dependence, I can still wash you, master.

An opportunity like this will never happen again.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to take this opportunity to give the master some skinship.

‘It is my belief not to touch anything while working.’

Isn’t it natural for a maid to serve her master?

So, this will not be something that deviates from belief.

While she was walking and rationalizing herself, she arrived in front of her bathtub.

-Smurf.

She slowly took off the clothes she was wearing.

Eventually, she became completely naked and smoothed her sides.

‘It’s amazing every time I see it.’

Originally, there were traces of injury while trying to protect Elric in the previous episode.

‘Of course, you don’t know about it…’

Anyway, the scars have disappeared due to this regression.

Every time I see it, I can’t get used to it.

Jane entered her bath, covering herself with a towel.

Next moment.

“Uh…Jane is here…”

Elric widens his eyes at the sight of her.

‘What? Why are you appearing naked?!’

Elric was shocked and corrected his thoughts.

Jane is no different from any other woman!
