We left the commercial city of Metekal, waiting for the morning.
We are able to talk to Iris and Letitia through the "True Consciousness Sharing". They said that they will soon be following us as well.
We exchange many messages and decide to meet up with them in Rihjelda, a spa town on the way.
Iris is representing the port city of Ilgafa, so it will take some time to get out of town, but Leticia (in disguise) is supposed to help us with that.
Really, Leticia has been a great help to me on this trip as well.
Leticia said via Iris, 'Don't worry about it. I'm a member of the party, and I don't want to be left out.
But I'll have to return the favor later.
So Rita, Aine and Cutlass began a leisurely journey.
''Speaking of which, I've asked Raphilia-san about this before: ......
In the middle of the journey, Aine suddenly said something like that.
''Is it true that Nah-kun and Rafilia-san 'bumped into each other in the bath' at the hot springs in Rihjelda?''
"Tell us more about it, please!
Bun, Rita and Cutlass looked at me.
Wait a minute. What's your bite?
''Bumping into a bath'' is a traditional performance of Nagi's world, right?
I hear it's a requirement for families that are close to each other!
I heard that if one of you is naked, it's considered official to have both of you naked.
Wait a minute. Who told you that story?
""Reggie (chan)(chan na na)(which is)!"
Hey...! Leggy...!
When I grip the Magic Sword Leggy, a pop sound is heard and a figure-sized Leggy appears.
''Hey, hey, Leggy!''
"What is it, my Lord?
'Why is "Battered in the Bath" a traditional art form?
"You told me before about the 'anime' and 'gheme' of the original world.
I did.
"And then you told me about the scene where we run into each other in the bathroom, didn't you?
I told you about ......?
'That's where I got the idea. I've been thinking about it, and I've come to realize that "bumping into each other in the bathtub" is something important and impactful enough to be remembered by the Lord after he has been transferred to another world. In other words, it must be the Lord's world's traditional art (denguei-gii-woo) or something essential to the family!
""Oh ────!"
Clap-clap-clap-clap.
Rita, Aine, and Cutlass clap.
That was quite a convincing speech. That's great, Reggie.
Right?
"'Battered in the bath' is a traditional art form or ...... Surely, Leggy wouldn't be surprised if you think so.
"I'll be there.
So, what do you have in mind?
"It's so frustrating that the Lord and the hoity-toity elf girl bumped into each other in the bathtub, but she wasn't there, so she decided to recreate the incident by any means possible, and as a result, first of all, she persuaded the slave girls... Stop, Lord! You're going to be able to get the best out of it.
"...... mattakumou
After 15 meters of helping out with the magic sword Leggy in my hand, I stopped in my tracks.
Rita turned bright red and flicked her beast ears, Aine grabbed the apron of her maid's uniform, and Katrass was ...... yes, with Fynn floating around like a background spirit, her eyes shining in anticipation.
...... Nagi...master...and Arujidono...
'You know what? 'Battling in the Bath' isn't a traditional art form, nor is it a family requirement.
Yeah, of course.
I understand. Aine, I understand.
It was Leggy's joke, wasn't it? I understand that.
Rita, Aine, Cutlass, and Fynn are all nodding.
Reggie is holding onto my shoulder and says, "I guess so.
That's good. I think she understands.
「「「「............ But if it happens, I can't help it. 」」」」
I can hear you!
"Mm. That's the spirit!
Don't you light the fire, Leggy!
That's how we arrived at the 'spa town of Rihjelda'.
'At any rate, we found it hard to convince everyone.
This is an inn in the spa town of Rihjelda.
Me and Reggie were in a room in the villa we stayed in on the way out (which Iris had rented out to us).
'I think I'm ready for a normal bath with you: ......
"You do not understand. My Lord.
You don't get it?
It's a situation where everyone is excited to bump into the Lord. It's the kind of casual event that happens in everyday life ...... that makes a maiden's soul tremble. It's the responsibility of the Lord to respond to that, right?
Isn't it Leggy who is responsible?
"Then I shall be in charge with my Lord.
Isn't that just a way to 'bang in the bath' together?
''Hmph. You are indeed the Lord. You know what I think: ......? Huh? Why do you bind my body to a pillar? Why do you tie my body to a pillar? Don't tell me you're not going to leave me here and bump into me in the bathtub, Lord? You're not going to leave me and bump into me in the bath, are you? Ah! Why are you putting a blanket on him? I can't see. I don't see anything...! Hey..., Lord ────!''
Okay, well, I'm going to go take a walk around town.
A few hours later.
I bought some gifts for Cecil, Rafilia, and the saint, and I went back to the inn.
It's about time everyone got settled in.
'We've received a message from Iris-Hafeumea.
...... and the message of "True Consciousness Sharing, Mind Linkage True".
If you look in the window, you can see .......
──────────────────
Iris: 'Brother. Have you arrived at the spa town of Rihjelda?'
Nagi: 'We're here. Where are Iris and the others?'
Iris: 'I'm on my way by carriage now. I'll be there this evening with Lady Letitia.
Nagi: 'I see, I'm glad.'
Iris: 'So, I want my brother to tell you all something.'
Nagi: 'What do you want me to tell you?'
Iris: 'Yes. As a matter of fact, I have rented out the small spa facility in Rihjelda with the help of Iris. I flew a fast horse yesterday, thinking that we would have to get out of Metekal soon.'
Nagi: 'Wow, Iris!
Iris: ''If you can't do this kind of thing, you won't be able to keep your brother's slave. Ahem!
──────────────────
A video is sent along with the message.
But it's Letitia who's smiling bitterly in the video.
The video of "True Consciousness Sharing" shows what Iris sees, you know. It can't be helped.
────────────────── ...
Iris: 'So, this facility is being rented out for today. Enjoy it to your heart's content.'
──────────────────
Now they send me a map to the location of the facility.
Hmmm. So it's right around the corner from the villa.
──────────────────
Iris: 'So, brother. Take your time. I'll see you later.''
──────────────────
Iris' message was cut off.
......, I thought, and then I got another message. What is it this time, ......?
──────────────────
Iris: 'Dear Rita. I have heard from Mr. Reggie about the traditional art of "Battling in the Bath". That's why we have arranged for a hot spring facility. Good luck, everyone. We wish you good luck!
──────────────────
...... You know what, Iris?
As I've explained before, if I send a "shared consciousness (mind linkage)" type message to someone else, I'll get a message too, right? Didn't I explain to you that's the way it was designed?
How could Iris make such an elementary error in her...
...... different. This may be a message that I'm supposed to read.
I don't think that Iris would forget something so basic.
If that's the case, then this message ...... could have been sent "under the pretense of forgetting the specs".
The last message is addressed to Rita.
The message was addressed to Rita and to Aine and Cutlass, who were with her.
It also says that they are going to carry out the "Bumping into each other at the bath" operation.
If I read this and went to the bathroom without telling everyone that the operation is forbidden, it means that I gave my tacit approval to the ...... operation.
Because the message was sent to me, too.
Iris can pretend she doesn't know that I can read it, but I can't.
"So, you mean to tell me that Iris handed the initiative to me: ......
I left the room.
There is no one in the living room. I knock on everyone's room, but ...... no response.
In other words, everyone is already working for the 'Bumping in the Bath' operation.
The only way for me to stop it is to send a message to Rita with True Consciousness Sharing, Mind Linkage True.
How about I take away the event that everyone is looking forward to .......
'You've thought of that ............, Iris.
It can't be helped.
For now, let's go check on everyone.
I decided to head to the hot spring facility.
The facility that Iris had rented out was small but magnificent.
There was only one woman at the reception desk, and no one else was present.
There was only a large bathroom for families and a large room for resting in the facility.
The receptionist told me that this facility is used for family trips and trips between friends.
I greeted the receptionist and went inside.
I headed to the men's changing room and
............ wow.
There was a golden wolf (wolf).
I bumped into him.
The wolf was sitting on the floor of the changing room, wagging his tail in the air.
A wolf, huh? I'm a wolf, so what can I do?
I unbuttoned my shirt.
'Yeah. I have a hard time taking my clothes off if I'm with a girl, but it's okay with a wolf. There's no problem at all ......, there's no way that's possible──!
''Rita, why are you using 'Complete Beastification (Beast Mode)' here!
The golden wolf's true identity is Rita.
When Rita uses the "Perfect Animalization" skill, she can transform into her wolf form.
Why does Rita become a wolf when she was supposed to batter in the bath?
'You were embarrassed to bump into each other in the bathroom all of a sudden, so you decided to use the changing room?
Ooh!
Rita nodded.
'It's embarrassing to come to the men's changing room, even if it's a private party and no one else is there. But as long as you're not human, it's ok. Is that why you're in wolf form ......?
Wah, wah, wah, wah!
...... You don't have to jump all over me so happily.
"Mmm.
Yeah, I know. I know. It's Rita.
I patted Rita on the back.
It's so fluffy.
The beastman form is nice, but Rita in wolf form is nice too.
I patted Rita's throat, head, hands and feet, and then I patted ...... her throat.
...... Come to think of it, Rita was completely naked right now.
............ Well, that's okay.
Hmm?
...... Huh? Are you happy now that you've battered yourself in the bath?
Ooh!
'Truth be told, it was maddeningly embarrassing. I'm happy to have been muffled by me ...... and I'm going to go back because I'm not going to be able to stop ...... any more, so I'm going to go back. ...... Really?
Wow. ......
I see. Well, I guess we'll see.
Rita, the angle of your tail wagging is a little embarrassing.
It's fine. Okay, get back here.
Wow.
Rita, the wolf, moves into the shadow of the locker.
And with her spirit, she returns to her human form...
"............ very hard.
What's up, Rita?
...... clothing and underwear in the Great Hall.
When he came, he came quickly in the form of a wolf so as not to be seen by the receptionist.
...... But what do I do? I'm sure you can't walk down the corridor naked.
...... I can't help it.
I decided to go to the Great Hall to get Rita's clothes and underwear.
I put Rita's clothes on and sent her off.
Well, now it's time to take a bath .......
'This can't be the end of ......, can it?'
I opened the door to the bathroom.
Lord Death was there.
He was sitting on a chair in the washroom in armor mode.
I can see the skin color through the gap in the joints.
This is...
'Are you wearing Lord Death because you're too embarrassed to suddenly bump into him in the bathroom?
............
...... eh?
I thought to myself.
"Lord Death, you have been released from your armored state...
Awwww!
That's right, Aine.
Lord Death is within Aine's storage skills.
Aine can easily take it into the bathroom.
Operation ...... has failed.
Yeah.
It can't be a traditional performance if people see through .............
It doesn't have to be a traditional performance.
So, we'll have to come up with more of a plan before we bring it up next time.
With a clatter, Aine, clad in Lord Death, stands up.
'...... Naa-kun, I need a favor.'
'Yes, yes. You left your clothes and underwear in the hall, didn't you?
I decided to return to the Great Hall.
...... As expected, he's gone, right?
I looked around the changing room.
There were lockers lined up around it to change clothes. They were wooden, with doors.
It's the same one we have in my world.
But the size of the lockers is larger than my world.
Probably because they were designed to hold a nobleman's formal wear or dress.
It's designed to hold a large piece of clothing without being folded.
That's why it's so big. It's like a broom closet. If you're petite, you can probably hide inside.
...... for petite people.
I listened, under my breath.
I knew it.
I could feel people coming from a locker in the back.
...... But why did you blindfold me? Fynn.
...... It's the voice of Cutlass.
They say he's hiding in a locker in the back.
There's also Fynn's voice ...... and I wonder what he's talking about.
I can't see anything at ....... Why are you wearing a blindfold ......?
"Doesn't Cutlass turn into a 'fiend' if one of the people look at his skin? This is a measure to prevent that from happening.
What does that have to do with blocking my eyes ......?
"If you block your vision, you won't even know you've been seen by a certain someone, will you?
Why did you tie your hands together, sir?
"lest you unwrap your blindfold without a second thought.
...... Who hides me in the locker?
"When Arujidoro arrives, open your locker so we can bump into him.
But if I don't see a certain someone, I won't be in the bluff ......?
"Arujidono's true form will be seen by me.
...... Huh?
"I'm the same person as Cutlass. You are to be seen by Arujido. I'm the one who takes a good long look at her.
It's not fair. Finn!
The "Battari in the Bath" is a traditional art. The traditional arts are all about the form. I've been teaching Arujidono at length... It's time for him to take a look at ............. When did you get back, Mr. Grigory? No, it's not. The reason why Cutlass was stripped naked and shoved into a locker is so that he could learn the traditional art of battering in the bath. That's right, under the guidance of Arujidono, to push Cutlass to heights he'd never felt before: ...... Oh, hey? You can't lock him in a locker! You're not allowed to leave until you've had a chance to think about it? Oh, no. I was going to see Cutlass win the favor of a certain someone ────?
What is happening at ......? Fynn ......?
Good grief.
I'm in trouble with Fynn, too.
He's too good with Leggy, so he's easily affected by .......
I rescued Cutlass and carried him to the Great Hall.
I had a thing with .......
So that's what happened.
...... That must have been tough for you.
Evening.
Iris and Letitia have come to the hot spring resort.
They are in my room, listening to what happened today.
'Well, it can't be helped, since Reggie blew it up in a weird way.
'So that's why Reggie-sama's main body was tucked under the bed mat. Big brother.
'I mean, even Iris arranged for a spa facility because of Reggie's influence, didn't she?
'If it's a traditional art form in your brother's world, you can't help but want to recreate it, can you?
It's not really a traditional art form.
You don't like it? Bumping in the bath.
That's not the same thing.
You remembered him when you were in this world, so there is no doubt that he made a strong impression on you. It is natural for the Iris slaves to want to do something that will be remembered by their master in this way.
With that, Iris smiled wryly.
'And yet, I'm glad you all made it.
What success?
'Ideally, it would be a formal 'big brother and yourself battling naked', but have you been successful in battling in an abbreviated fashion, as Master (Rafilia-sama) did?'
...... If you ask me.
I'm sure you've been waiting for me in wolf form while I was out, and after I returned to human form, I couldn't get dressed properly. In the end, I had to make her dress in various ways.
I was the one who got Aine to take off her "Lord Death" and I was the one who freed Cutlass and took off the blindfold.
In the end, they all succeeded in 'bumping into each other in the bath' .......
'Hmmm. I think Iris and you all won the battle!
...... I wonder if that will happen.
'By the way, Iris has already broken into this town where her brother is taking a bath. He is the one who has succeeded in 'battering in the bath' after his master (Rafilia-sama).
Oh, I remember that happening.
Me and Iris look at each other and laugh.
Soon after I first met Iris, I was invited to a spa facility for free. When I was taking a bath, Iris broke in on me. It was nostalgic.
"So all the members here have 'bumped into' your brother, right?
All of them, to be exact, are in a master-slave agreement.
Is Mr. Reggie out of the loop?
I think Reggie did something similar at .......
For what it's worth, Leggy is always with us.
'Then 'Battering in the Bath' is truly the 'traditional art' of the party. When Iris and the others have children, we will pass it down from generation to generation.
Doesn't that mean we'll be telling our children about the journeys we've taken?
Yes. I think it's a lot of fun.
...... Right.
Sightseeing, eating good food, and 'battling in the bath'.
Telling your kids that you've had a fun trip like that is ...... yeah, it sure sounds like fun.
...... Huh? By the way, where's Letitia?
You know, you're not here.
You were there earlier, weren't you? "That was hard work," you said.
Did he go to everyone?
Me and Iris left the room and headed to the living room.
I asked Rita, Aine, and Fynne, who were reflecting in the living room, and they seemed to have gone out .......
Did they go shopping?
'Well, okay. Okay, I'll go take a bath this time.
Have a good day. Bye, big brother.
...... I'm sure Iris isn't up to anything, right?
Of course. You're not going to do anything until the evening, are you?
...... Okay then.
I'm going to take a change of clothes and head to the hot spring facility.
After that, I won't bore you with what happened in the private spa facility
I think "Battered in the Bath" has literally become a (・・・・・) traditional art form (・・・・・・) for all the (・・・・・) members here (・・・・) that will be passed down to ...... my children.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
We left the commercial city of Metekal, waiting for the morning.
We are able to talk to Iris and Letitia through the "True Consciousness Sharing". They said that they will soon be following us as well.
We exchange many messages and decide to meet up with them in Rihjelda, a spa town on the way.

Bun, Rita and Cutlass looked at me.
Wait a minute. What's your bite?
''Bumping into a bath'' is a traditional performance of Nagi's world, right?
I hear it's a requirement for families that are close to each other!
I heard that if one of you is naked, it's considered official to have both of you naked.
Wait a minute. Who told you that story?
""Reggie (chan)(chan na na)(which is)!"
Hey...! Leggy...!
When I grip the Magic Sword Leggy, a pop sound is heard and a figure-sized Leggy appears.

"What is it, my Lord?

...... Come to think of it, Rita was completely naked right now.
............ Well, that's okay.
Hmm?
...... Huh? Are you happy now that you've battered yourself in the bath?
Ooh!
'Truth be told, it was maddeningly embarrassing. I'm happy to have been muffled by me ...... and I'm going to go back because I'm not going to be able to stop ...... any more, so I'm going to go back. ...... Really?
Wow. ......
I see. Well, I guess we'll see.
Rita, the angle of your tail wagging is a little embarrassing.
It's fine. Okay, get back here.
Wow.
Rita, the wolf, moves into the shadow of the locker.
And with her spirit, she returns to her human form...
"............ very hard.
What's up, Rita?
...... clothing and underwear in the Great Hall.
When he came, he came quickly in the form of a wolf so as not to be seen by the receptionist.
...... But what do I do? I'm sure you can't walk down the corridor naked.
...... I can't help it.
I decided to go to the Great Hall to get Rita's clothes and underwear.
I put Rita's clothes on and sent her off.
Well, now it's time to take a bath .......
'This can't be the end of ......, can it?'
I opened the door to the bathroom.
Lord Death was there.
He was sitting on a chair in the washroom in armor mode.
I can see the skin color through the gap in the joints.
This is...
'Are you wearing Lord Death because you're too embarrassed to suddenly bump into him in the bathroom?
............
...... eh?
I thought to myself.
"Lord Death, you have been released from your armored state...
Awwww!
That's right, Aine.
Lord Death is within Aine's storage skills.
Aine can easily take it into the bathroom.
Operation ...... has failed.
Yeah.
It can't be a traditional performance if people see through .............
It doesn't have to be a traditional performance.
So, we'll have to come up with more of a plan before we bring it up next time.
With a clatter, Aine, clad in Lord Death, stands up.
'...... Naa-kun, I need a favor.'
'Yes, yes. You left your clothes and underwear in the hall, didn't you?
I decided to return to the Great Hall.
...... As expected, he's gone, right?
I looked around the changing room.
There were lockers lined up around it to change clothes. They were wooden, with doors.
It's the same one we have in my world.
But the size of the lockers is larger than my world.
Probably because they were designed to hold a nobleman's formal wear or dress.
It's designed to hold a large piece of clothing without being folded.
That's why it's so big. It's like a broom closet. If you're petite, you can probably hide inside.
...... for petite people.
I listened, under my breath.
I knew it.
I could feel people coming from a locker in the back.
...... But why did you blindfold me? Fynn.
...... It's the voice of Cutlass.
They say he's hiding in a locker in the back.
There's also Fynn's voice ...... and I wonder what he's talking about.
I can't see anything at ....... Why are you wearing a blindfold ......?
"Doesn't Cutlass turn into a 'fiend' if one of the people look at his skin? This is a measure to prevent that from happening.
What does that have to do with blocking my eyes ......?
"If you block your vision, you won't even know you've been seen by a certain someone, will you?
Why did you tie your hands together, sir?
"lest you unwrap your blindfold without a second thought.
...... Who hides me in the locker?
"When Arujidoro arrives, open your locker so we can bump into him.
But if I don't see a certain someone, I won't be in the bluff ......?
"Arujidono's true form will be seen by me.
...... Huh?
"I'm the same person as Cutlass. You are to be seen by Arujido. I'm the one who takes a good long look at her.
It's not fair. Finn!
The "Battari in the Bath" is a traditional art. The traditional arts are all about the form. I've been teaching Arujidono at length... It's time for him to take a look at ............. When did you get back, Mr. Grigory? No, it's not. The reason why Cutlass was stripped naked and shoved into a locker is so that he could learn the traditional art of battering in the bath. That's right, under the guidance of Arujidono, to push Cutlass to heights he'd never felt before: ...... Oh, hey? You can't lock him in a locker! You're not allowed to leave until you've had a chance to think about it? Oh, no. I was going to see Cutlass win the favor of a certain someone ────?
What is happening at ......? Fynn ......?
Good grief.
I'm in trouble with Fynn, too.
He's too good with Leggy, so he's easily affected by .......
I rescued Cutlass and carried him to the Great Hall.
I had a thing with .......
So that's what happened.
...... That must have been tough for you.
Evening.
Iris and Letitia have come to the hot spring resort.
They are in my room, listening to what happened today.
'Well, it can't be helped, since Reggie blew it up in a weird way.
'So that's why Reggie-sama's main body was tucked under the bed mat. Big brother.
'I mean, even Iris arranged for a spa facility because of Reggie's influence, didn't she?
'If it's a traditional art form in your brother's world, you can't help but want to recreate it, can you?
It's not really a traditional art form.
You don't like it? Bumping in the bath.
That's not the same thing.
You remembered him when you were in this world, so there is no doubt that he made a strong impression on you. It is natural for the Iris slaves to want to do something that will be remembered by their master in this way.
With that, Iris smiled wryly.
'And yet, I'm glad you all made it.
What success?
'Ideally, it would be a formal 'big brother and yourself battling naked', but have you been successful in battling in an abbreviated fashion, as Master (Rafilia-sama) did?'
...... If you ask me.
I'm sure you've been waiting for me in wolf form while I was out, and after I returned to human form, I couldn't get dressed properly. In the end, I had to make her dress in various ways.
I was the one who got Aine to take off her "Lord Death" and I was the one who freed Cutlass and took off the blindfold.
In the end, they all succeeded in 'bumping into each other in the bath' .......
'Hmmm. I think Iris and you all won the battle!
...... I wonder if that will happen.
'By the way, Iris has already broken into this town where her brother is taking a bath. He is the one who has succeeded in 'battering in the bath' after his master (Rafilia-sama).
Oh, I remember that happening.
Me and Iris look at each other and laugh.
Soon after I first met Iris, I was invited to a spa facility for free. When I was taking a bath, Iris broke in on me. It was nostalgic.
"So all the members here have 'bumped into' your brother, right?
All of them, to be exact, are in a master-slave agreement.
Is Mr. Reggie out of the loop?
I think Reggie did something similar at .......
For what it's worth, Leggy is always with us.
'Then 'Battering in the Bath' is truly the 'traditional art' of the party. When Iris and the others have children, we will pass it down from generation to generation.
Doesn't that mean we'll be telling our children about the journeys we've taken?
Yes. I think it's a lot of fun.
...... Right.
Sightseeing, eating good food, and 'battling in the bath'.
Telling your kids that you've had a fun trip like that is ...... yeah, it sure sounds like fun.
...... Huh? By the way, where's Letitia?
You know, you're not here.
You were there earlier, weren't you? "That was hard work," you said.
Did he go to everyone?
Me and Iris left the room and headed to the living room.
I asked Rita, Aine, and Fynne, who were reflecting in the living room, and they seemed to have gone out .......
Did they go shopping?
'Well, okay. Okay, I'll go take a bath this time.
Have a good day. Bye, big brother.
...... I'm sure Iris isn't up to anything, right?
Of course. You're not going to do anything until the evening, are you?
...... Okay then.
I'm going to take a change of clothes and head to the hot spring facility.
After that, I won't bore you with what happened in the private spa facility
I think "Battered in the Bath" has literally become a (・・・・・) traditional art form (・・・・・・) for all the (・・・・・) members here (・・・・) that will be passed down to ...... my children.
We left the commercial city of Metekal, waiting for the morning.We are able to talk to Iris and Letitia through the "True Consciousness Sharing". They said that they will soon be following us as well.We exchange many messages and decide to meet up with them in Rihjelda, a spa town on the way.Iris is representing the port city of Ilgafa, so it will take some time to get out of town, but Leticia in disguise is supposed to help us with that.Really, Leticia has been a great help to me on this trip as well.Leticia said via Iris, 'Don't worry about it. I'm a member of the party, and I don't want to be left out.But I'll have to return the favor later.So Rita, Aine and Cutlass began a leisurely journey.''Speaking of which, I've asked Raphilia-san about this before: ......In the middle of the journey, Aine suddenly said something like that.''Is it true that Nah-kun and Rafilia-san 'bumped into each other in the bath' at the hot springs in Rihjelda?''"Tell us more about it, please!Bun, Rita and Cutlass looked at me.Wait a minute. What's your bite?''Bumping into a bath'' is a traditional performance of Nagi's world, right?I hear it's a requirement for families that are close to each other!I heard that if one of you is naked, it's considered official to have both of you naked.Wait a minute. Who told you that story?""Reggie chanchan na nawhich is!"Hey...!Leggy...!When I grip the Magic Sword Leggy, a pop sound is heard and a figure-sized Leggy appears.''Hey, hey, Leggy!''"What is it, my Lord?'Why is "Battered in the Bath" a traditional art form?"You told me before about the 'anime' and 'gheme' of the original world.I did."And then you told me about the scene where we run into each other in the bathroom, didn't you?I told you about ......?'That's where I got the idea. I've been thinking about it, and I've come to realize that "bumping into each other in the bathtub" is something important and impactful enough to be remembered by the Lord after he has been transferred to another world. In other words, it must be the Lord's world's traditional art denguei-gii-woo or something essential to the family!""Oh !"Clap-clap-clap-clap.Rita, Aine, and Cutlass clap.That was quite a convincing speech. That's great, Reggie.Right?"'Battered in the bath' is a traditional art form or ...... Surely, Leggy wouldn't be surprised if you think so."I'll be there.So, what do you have in mind?"It's so frustrating that the Lord and the hoity-toity elf girl bumped into each other in the bathtub, but she wasn't there, so she decided to recreate the incident by any means possible, and as a result, first of all, she persuaded the slave girls... Stop, Lord!You're going to be able to get the best out of it."...... mattakumouAfter 15 meters of helping out with the magic sword Leggy in my hand, I stopped in my tracks.Rita turned bright red and flicked her beast ears, Aine grabbed the apron of her maid's uniform, and Katrass was ...... yes, with Fynn floating around like a background spirit, her eyes shining in anticipation....... Nagi...master...and Arujidono...'You know what? 'Battling in the Bath' isn't a traditional art form, nor is it a family requirement.Yeah, of course.I understand. Aine, I understand.It was Leggy's joke, wasn't it? I understand that.Rita, Aine, Cutlass, and Fynn are all nodding.Reggie is holding onto my shoulder and says, "I guess so.That's good. I think she understands............. But if it happens, I can't help it. I can hear you!"Mm. That's the spirit!Don't you light the fire, Leggy!That's how we arrived at the 'spa town of Rihjelda'.'At any rate, we found it hard to convince everyone.This is an inn in the spa town of Rihjelda.Me and Reggie were in a room in the villa we stayed in on the way out which Iris had rented out to us.'I think I'm ready for a normal bath with you: ......"You do not understand. My Lord.You don't get it?It's a situation where everyone is excited to bump into the Lord. It's the kind of casual event that happens in everyday life ...... that makes a maiden's soul tremble. It's the responsibility of the Lord to respond to that, right?Isn't it Leggy who is responsible?"Then I shall be in charge with my Lord.Isn't that just a way to 'bang in the bath' together?''Hmph. You are indeed the Lord. You know what I think: ......?Huh?Why do you bind my body to a pillar? Why do you tie my body to a pillar?Don't tell me you're not going to leave me here and bump into me in the bathtub, Lord? You're not going to leave me and bump into me in the bath, are you?Ah!Why are you putting a blanket on him?I can't see. I don't see anything...!Hey..., Lord !''Okay, well, I'm going to go take a walk around town.A few hours later.I bought some gifts for Cecil, Rafilia, and the saint, and I went back to the inn.It's about time everyone got settled in.'We've received a message from Iris-Hafeumea....... and the message of "True Consciousness Sharing, Mind Linkage True".If you look in the window, you can see .......Iris: 'Brother. Have you arrived at the spa town of Rihjelda?'Nagi: 'We're here. Where are Iris and the others?'Iris: 'I'm on my way by carriage now. I'll be there this evening with Lady Letitia.Nagi: 'I see, I'm glad.'Iris: 'So, I want my brother to tell you all something.'Nagi: 'What do you want me to tell you?'Iris: 'Yes. As a matter of fact, I have rented out the small spa facility in Rihjelda with the help of Iris. I flew a fast horse yesterday, thinking that we would have to get out of Metekal soon.'Nagi: 'Wow, Iris!Iris: ''If you can't do this kind of thing, you won't be able to keep your brother's slave. Ahem!A video is sent along with the message.But it's Letitia who's smiling bitterly in the video.The video of "True Consciousness Sharing" shows what Iris sees, you know. It can't be helped. ...Iris: 'So, this facility is being rented out for today. Enjoy it to your heart's content.'Now they send me a map to the location of the facility.Hmmm. So it's right around the corner from the villa.Iris: 'So, brother. Take your time. I'll see you later.''Iris' message was cut off......., I thought, and then I got another message. What is it this time, ......?Iris: 'Dear Rita. I have heard from Mr. Reggie about the traditional art of "Battling in the Bath". That's why we have arranged for a hot spring facility. Good luck, everyone. We wish you good luck!...... You know what, Iris?As I've explained before, if I send a "shared consciousness mind linkage" type message to someone else, I'll get a message too, right?Didn't I explain to you that's the way it was designed?How could Iris make such an elementary error in her......... different. This may be a message that I'm supposed to read.I don't think that Iris would forget something so basic.If that's the case, then this message ...... could have been sent "under the pretense of forgetting the specs".The last message is addressed to Rita.The message was addressed to Rita and to Aine and Cutlass, who were with her.It also says that they are going to carry out the "Bumping into each other at the bath" operation.If I read this and went to the bathroom without telling everyone that the operation is forbidden, it means that I gave my tacit approval to the ...... operation.Because the message was sent to me, too.Iris can pretend she doesn't know that I can read it, but I can't."So, you mean to tell me that Iris handed the initiative to me: ......I left the room.There is no one in the living room. I knock on everyone's room, but ...... no response.In other words, everyone is already working for the 'Bumping in the Bath' operation.The only way for me to stop it is to send a message to Rita with True Consciousness Sharing, Mind Linkage True.How about I take away the event that everyone is looking forward to .......'You've thought of that ............, Iris.It can't be helped.For now, let's go check on everyone.I decided to head to the hot spring facility.The facility that Iris had rented out was small but magnificent.There was only one woman at the reception desk, and no one else was present.There was only a large bathroom for families and a large room for resting in the facility.The receptionist told me that this facility is used for family trips and trips between friends.I greeted the receptionist and went inside.I headed to the men's changing room and............ wow.There was a golden wolf wolf.I bumped into him.The wolf was sitting on the floor of the changing room, wagging his tail in the air.A wolf, huh? I'm a wolf, so what can I do?I unbuttoned my shirt.'Yeah. I have a hard time taking my clothes off if I'm with a girl, but it's okay with a wolf. There's no problem at all ......, there's no way that's possible!''Rita, why are you using 'Complete Beastification Beast Mode' here!The golden wolf's true identity is Rita.When Rita uses the "Perfect Animalization" skill, she can transform into her wolf form.Why does Rita become a wolf when she was supposed to batter in the bath?'You were embarrassed to bump into each other in the bathroom all of a sudden, so you decided to use the changing room?Ooh!Rita nodded.'It's embarrassing to come to the men's changing room, even if it's a private party and no one else is there. But as long as you're not human, it's ok. Is that why you're in wolf form ......?Wah, wah, wah, wah!...... You don't have to jump all over me so happily."Mmm.Yeah, I know. I know. It's Rita.I patted Rita on the back.It's so fluffy.The beastman form is nice, but Rita in wolf form is nice too.I patted Rita's throat, head, hands and feet, and then I patted ...... her throat....... Come to think of it, Rita was completely naked right now............. Well, that's okay.Hmm?...... Huh?Are you happy now that you've battered yourself in the bath?Ooh!'Truth be told, it was maddeningly embarrassing. I'm happy to have been muffled by me ...... and I'm going to go back because I'm not going to be able to stop ...... any more, so I'm going to go back. ...... Really?Wow. ......I see. Well, I guess we'll see.Rita, the angle of your tail wagging is a little embarrassing.It's fine. Okay, get back here.Wow.Rita, the wolf, moves into the shadow of the locker.And with her spirit, she returns to her human form..."............ very hard.What's up, Rita?...... clothing and underwear in the Great Hall.When he came, he came quickly in the form of a wolf so as not to be seen by the receptionist....... But what do I do? I'm sure you can't walk down the corridor naked....... I can't help it.I decided to go to the Great Hall to get Rita's clothes and underwear.I put Rita's clothes on and sent her off.Well, now it's time to take a bath .......'This can't be the end of ......, can it?'I opened the door to the bathroom.Lord Death was there.He was sitting on a chair in the washroom in armor mode.I can see the skin color through the gap in the joints.This is...'Are you wearing Lord Death because you're too embarrassed to suddenly bump into him in the bathroom?.................. eh?I thought to myself."Lord Death, you have been released from your armored state...Awwww!That's right, Aine.Lord Death is within Aine's storage skills.Aine can easily take it into the bathroom.Operation ...... has failed.Yeah.It can't be a traditional performance if people see through .............It doesn't have to be a traditional performance.So, we'll have to come up with more of a plan before we bring it up next time.With a clatter, Aine, clad in Lord Death, stands up.'...... Naa-kun, I need a favor.''Yes, yes. You left your clothes and underwear in the hall, didn't you?I decided to return to the Great Hall.......
