Chapter 14: Nothing Beats a Long, Peaceful Bath by Myself

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Taking Oboro, who had sworn her submission to us, along for the ride, I returned to my home located in the upper layers of the dungeon.

“Oh! So this is where the Master and Medi-dono reside! How truly magnificent!”

Oboro was sincerely impressed, but as far as I was concerned, the place was still very much a work in progress.

“I’m home!”

Medi pushed the door open with gusto and went inside. She took off her shoes in the entryway and lined them up neatly, just as I had taught her, before stepping up into the house.

“Hoho? So one does this here… one removes their shoes?”

“Yeah. The Japanese style just feels more relaxing, after all.”

“Nippon?”

“My motherland… or rather, my home from before this one.”

Since reincarnating into this world, my life had consisted of living in the royal palace or sleeping outdoors. I had gotten used to it, but it was much more relaxing to take my shoes off than to keep them on all the time.

“So the Master is a fan of bare feet.”

“You’re really determined to turn me into some kind of pervert, aren’t you?”

I didn’t think she was doing it on purpose, but I couldn’t help but feel that Oboro had a bit of a dirty mind.

“Since there are three of us now, I should make the place a bit bigger. 《Create》.”

“Wh-what? The floor is moving on its own!? What are you doing, Master!?”

“Architecture. It’s my skill.”

“Hmph, how convenient.”

Being watched with such sparkling eyes made me feel a mix of pride and embarrassment.

“Go ahead, you can take them off.”

“Oh? My clothes?”

“Your shoes. Do you want me to take them off for you?”

“That would also be a pleasure.”

(Please, just shut up.)

“…Didn’t you just say you wouldn’t have sex with me? That you would wait after Medi? Wasn’t the hierarchy supposed to be clear?”

“Of course, child-making comes second. However, exposing this mature body of mine to the Master and being leered at and toyed with by his lingering gaze is something that is welcome at any time.”

“That’s bad for her education.”

What would I do if Medi started imitating that?!

“Then, if you’ll excuse me―”

The cheongsam-clad Oboro leaned over and carefully removed her high-heeled shoes. There was an air of elegance in movements like these.

“Oh, are you a foot fetishist? You may eye-rape them as much as you like.”

If only she didn’t open her mouth… I took off my shoes as well and stepped up into the living room. Then Medi, fanning her face with her hand, spoke up.

“Lots of sweat from our walk. Sticky.”

Medi didn’t sweat back when she was a monster, but since taking on a human form, she seemed to find the sweat (other than from sex) unpleasant. As someone living with her, I appreciated her hygiene standards becoming more human-like.

“Want to go take a shower?”

“Master, Medi-dono.”

Oboro spoke up.

“The order of things is important here. First, Master takes the first bath. Then Medi-dono. It is only right that I receive the leftover bathwater.”

“………… You aren’t after the leftover water for a weird reason, are you?”

“Wh-what!? You think of me as a lowly deviant like that?! It’s not as if I’m going to drink it!?”

“Not… drink it.”

“…But you do want to bathe in it.”

“That is only natural― cough, cough!”

Medi, who had been listening to our conversation, brought a bath towel from the next room.

“Here,Alto-sama.”

“No, you don’t have to worry about what we were just saying, okay?”

“Medi can wait. I want Alto-sama to feel good first.”

“What a good girl you are, Medi…”

“Indeed. The paragon of servants! Bathed in the essence of you two, surely even I would receive some blessings!”

(This girl….)

“Thanks. Then I’ll take you up on that.”

I took the bath towel and headed to the bathroom. I stripped out of my Demon Lord-like outfit and entered the bathing area.

“…Yeah. I really do love how this turned out…!”

This was a Japanese-style bathroom. Or rather, an inn-style one. A cypress bath with free-flowing water. While it wasn’t a hot spring, it was filled with plenty of clear, transparent water at an exquisite temperature. Coming to this world made me realize just how lucky I was to be able to use a large amount of clean, hygienic water like in Japan. And then there was the wonderful scent of the cypress. It was a calm yet powerful fragrance. Every time I took a deep breath of the steam, I felt a sense of liberation spread through my heart.

I gave my body a thorough wash before getting into the bath.

“Haaaaaaaaaa…”

Since becoming the Dungeon Master, not just my magical power but my physical strength was also at its peak. I felt as though I were leveling up just by taking a stroll through the dungeon. But this and that was an entirely different matter. After all, a piping hot bath after exercise really soaked into the core of the body. The cypress wood of the tub was also the best. It had a soft touch, making me fall into the illusion that I was being embraced by nature.

I let out an entranced sigh.

“Phew… a relaxing bath all by myself is the best… There’s no paradise greater than this…”

■　■　■

“Hmm…”

“What’s wrong, Doggy… I mean, Oboro-dono?”

After Alto had entered the bathroom, Oboro was groaning with her arms crossed next to Medi.

“There is no need for ‘-dono,’ Medi-dono. Please, call me simply Oboro.”

“I understand, Oboro.”

When Medi said that, Oboro gave a satisfied smile. At first, Medi had been wary that Oboro might try to steal Alto away, but they were getting along quite well. However, her face quickly returned to a troubled expression.

“…I may have made a mistake in judgment.”

“?”

“The matter of the bath, Medi-dono.”

Oboro spoke in a perfectly serious tone.

“I have allowed Master to head to the bath alone. As an obedient servant, I should have helped my Master with his bathing.”

“Helping?”

“Precisely, Medi-dono.”

She held up a finger as if lecturing her.

“Listen well. By keeping attractive females like us by his side, Master is undoubtedly expecting ‘service’ while in the nude.”

“Service… doing something good forAlto-sama?”

“Yes! Something good!”

“Medi-dono, this is no time for us to be wearing clothes like this.”

The Thousand-Year Fox Spirit’s eyes glowed brilliantly.

“We must use these bodies to serve him as quickly as possible!”

“Service!”

“It is decided, then—to the bath! Let us strip, Medi-dono!”

“Strip! I’ll strip with Oboro!”

Just as Alto had feared, enticed by the fox who was catastrophically bad for her education, Medi also charged into the changing room and began to strip off her clothes.
