495 Family footbaths (1/2)
The type of family reunion after breakfast.
Now, in the middle of winter, it is Slaughter's routine to talk and laugh at the warm royal feed in the living room.
”Mother, why are you wearing shoes in the Mansion?
Erinola's sister asked suddenly when she was wearing a little bit of tea.
Her gaze revealed that Elna's mother's feet were wrapped in shoes. Of course, it is not for outer wear, but for inner wear.
Since the introduction of slippers in our home, basically everyone has been spending time on slippers.
This is because it is easy to attach and detach right away and a slipper that does not tighten your feet.
It is now a daily necessity used not only by families, but also by servants and guests.
It is strange that Elna's mother suddenly returned to her shoes because she loved it so much.
This is strange.
”It's true.”
”What's the matter, Elna?
”It's getting cold these days. My feet get cold in my slippers.”
Elna's mother rubbed her legs wrapped in a long dress and tights.
”Ah, sure. The cold feet are tough this season, right? I was sitting reading a book, and my legs were swollen.”
That's right.
Elna nodded strongly at Brother Silvio's words.
Apparently these two have something to empathize with.
”The slippers are for winter, but they're still no good?
Of course, I am prepared for this.
Increase the amount of cloth you use for your slippers, or try putting warm fur inside. They make winter slippers that are well suited to the climate.
”Still no good.”
”It's cold to put your socks on.”
Regardless of Sylvio's brother, Elna's mother's metabolism got worse because of her age, and the moment she looked over her head, she felt that the body temperature in the living room had dropped.
When I saw Erna's mother, she smiled so beautiful that she was scared.
”Al? Have you thought of something rude?
”No, there is no disillusionment. In the meantime, would you like to join us? It's warm over there.”
”... that's right.”
When I urged her to do so, Elna followed the instructions without letting go.
At the same time, other families move to Kotatsu.
Elna took off her inner shoes and put her toes in her buttocks first.
”Hah... it's still warm inside my buttocks.”
”Elna, if your mother could use a psychic, she'd be able to move around with it on her toes.”
”Yeah, not at all... I don't do lazy things like Al.”
No, you were just about to say, ”Not at all.”
From that tone of mouth, Erna should have thought she could do the same.
It was me who got into my butt, but when I enjoyed the warmth, I thought it didn't matter.
The warmth of the butt is wonderful.
I don't want to leave here any longer today.
When I think about relaxing, it feels like my feet are rubbed unexpectedly.
It is Erinola's sister who is moving in a mess.
She is touching not only my feet, but also her own and brother Silvio's feet.
”What's wrong, Miss Erinola?
”Silvio's feet are swollen. Why on earth?
Apparently, I'm worried that Brother Silvio's feet are swelling up compared to ours.
”When it's cold, the blood vessels shrink and they don't flow well. That's why my legs swell because of the bad blood circulation.”
”Hmm, you're swelling your feet because there's a lot of important blood vessels?
”That's funny, Erinola. You're my sister. Why?”
”Lately, I thought Al was making a fool of me.
”Yes, yes, yes! Don't push your feet!
Erinola's giddy sister stimulates my feet with her fingers.
I don't know if it is a bump, but it sounds like a bump in the back of my leg and it hurts a lot. What the hell is this?
Erinola's sister let go of her fingers when I was depressed.
It doesn't hurt to push it gently by myself.
Erinola, is that the only thing your sister knows?
”It's strange anyway.”
”Knowledge of the structure of the human body and monsters is also necessary as a knight.”
”Oh, I'm convinced.”
Unlike me, who has little to do with monsters, Erinola's sister is relative to me on a daily basis.
It's only natural to know who to fight.
And if it helps fight, it's Erinola's sister who absorbs knowledge like a sponge. If we could demonstrate that high absorption in other fields, Elna's mother wouldn't bother her head.
”But how can I improve the swelling of my feet?
”It's easy. Just keep it warm. It's nice to warm it up with a butt, but the best thing to do is to take a bath.”
This will expand the vessels that were contracted by the cold and improve the circulation of blood.
”It's troublesome to take a bath because your legs are swollen.”
”Yeah? That much trouble?
I don't have to take a bath every day. I don't think it's unpleasant just because it goes in many times.
”Ahahah, Al loves bathing.”
”It's a hassle to take a bath again and again for a woman who has a lot to prepare for.”
Elna's mother complains that her brother Silvio laughs bitterly.
Ah, I was the only one in the family like that every day.
Besides, women also have makeup and have to dry their long hair.
How can you get in and out like a man? This is a reflection.
Then how about a footbath?
”Footbath, you mean you just put your feet in the hot water?
My proposal is a little overwhelming for Nord. [M]
”Yeah, that's enough to keep your feet warm and decrease swelling.”
Hee, then you can easily put it in.
”Yeah, and when the blood circulation gets better, the metabolism gets better and it's harder to get fat.”
”Let's get in there! --Cohon, if it's not too much trouble, there's no one else to come in.”
Erna's mother, who stood up unexpectedly, coughed and said it all over again.
I was undoubtedly attracted to keywords other than puffiness, but I didn't know what kind of horrible eyes I would encounter if I poked it, so I kept my mouth shut.
Well then, let's go to the baths.
”Yeah, let's go.”
Not only Elna's mother, but everybody else follows her to the bath.
Apparently everyone feels comfortable going into the footbath.
”Sarah, I'm sorry, but can you just get us some towels and water?
”Yes, sir.”
When I asked Sarah, who was keeping it in the living room, she walked out of the room respectfully.
Even though footbaths are the only thing that matters, hydration is important.
