Chapter 389 Im Completely Cornered (1/2)

An onsen is a place where you can soak your body in hot water with a variety of effects while enjoying a wide open view. It is the very heart of the Japanese people.

However, even though I came to take a bath in an onsen, why is it that I am so tired? Heck, I haven’t even taken a bath yet……

I was caught in the strongest ambush by Ein-san, who was washing my body with her body as a sponge. Feeling her body behind my back, I could only assume that this was an attempt to destroy my reasoning, but one thing is for sure. Her attack had left me severely exhausted.

However…… I repeat, however! I got over it. It was definitely one of the strongest trials I’ve ever faced, but I fought through it.

If I say this out loud, I may suddenly be slapped by Buddhist people, but I think I have achieved enlightenment just now. In the latter half of this event, I felt like I could see myself from the eyes of another.

Well, even though it’s already over, I’m still feeling anguish over the feeling of Ein-san on my body……

Anyways, I finished washing my body and was finally able to soak in the hot water. The thick, murky water was a little hot and soaked into my tired body.

[Haahhh~~]

I really like onsens. I’ve never had the chance to go to a hot spring as a college student living alone, but it seems like I really like onsens.

Thanks to the extraordinary ordeal I just went through, I now felt like I was quite mentally composed. Or perhaps, my mind was just so worn out that I didn’t have the time to mind the small details anymore……

[……Here’s Kaito-kun’s!]

[……Unnn?]

[Rubber ducky!]

[……T- Thanks.]

What Kuro gave me was a child’s toy that floated in water. Ahh, speaking of which, weren’t Kuro and Isis-san playing with them while waiting for me?

Looking at their sides again, I saw that Kuro had a yellow duck and Ms. Isis had a white duck floating in front of them.

[……My ducky…… is the strongest.]

[Mnhh! My ducky won’t lose!]

I don’t think you’re supposed to compare strengths with rubber ducks…… Well, this is kind of relaxing, so I guess it’s fine.

As I watched Kuro and Isis-san having fun, I looked at the toy Kuro had just given me.

Mine was brown and a little slimmer than Kuro’s duck…… Hey, doesn’t this look more of a “goose” instead?

[Kaito-sama, would you like some alcohol?]

[Eh? Ahh, thank you. Thank you for the drink.]

As I was leisurely watching Kuro and Isis-san, Ein-san came up to me with a tray floating on the water. On top of the tray, there was a sake bottle and a sake cup…… Ahh, that would be great. As expected of Ein-san, she knows her stuff.

After thanking her, I picked up the sake cup and Ein-san fluidly poured the sake in it.

Making sure that it doesn’t spill, I took a sip and found it to be dry and strong, yet refreshing, and it seemed to gradually seep from my mouth to my throat and then, down to my stomach.

[……It’s delicious. This is Japanese sake, right?]

[Yes. It was made at Neun-san’s request, and since Kaito-sama came from the same world as her, I thought it would suit Kaito-sama’s palate, so I prepared it.]

I see, Neun-san prefers Japanese sake as well huh…… That certainly seems like her.

[I have prepared for Kuromu-sama, Isis and Shalltear too.]

[Thanks, Ein~~]

[……Thank you.]

As Ein-san took out new trays from nowhere, Kuro-san and Isis-san moved over to us.

What was placed on the trays for Kuro and Isis were wine glasses and an ordinary cup.

[Is the wine for Kuro?]

[Unnn. I don’t really like the spicy alcohol. I prefer drinks like wine.]

[What about Isis-san?]

[……I don’t really…… like alcohol…… that’s why…… I’m having juice.]

Fumu fumu, I guess we each have our preferences huh. What about me though? I liked all kinds of alcohol, but I guess I didn’t like those with a strong smell.

Rather, putting our preferences aside……

[……Alice, how long are you going to be diving?]

[………………….]

The one I’m bothered about is Alice, who was still diving underwater…… She seemed to be still reeling away because of that incident earlier, and she wasn’t even responding to my call.

[……I’m sorry I wasn’t careful enough. I’ll buy you dinner again sometime to make up for it.]

[………………….]
