Chapter 74 – Chapter 74 – Beginning of Bath Service

◈

“Ah, Mr. Rant, welcome back… Kyaaaaagh!”

As usual, Tina tried to greet us.

But when I turned to me, Tina screamed.

Why?

“Ah… Rant, head, head.”

Noah wondered why Tina was surprised. She knew. She looked at me and pointed at her head.

“Head?”

I ran my hand through her hair and felt the fluffy texture of Lei Zifang’s fur.

Ah, come to think of it, he was still wearing Lei Ji Fang’s skin.

She tucks her neck into Lei Ji Fang’s chin, and if you look at it incorrectly, it looks like her face is in Lei Ji Fang’s mouth. I will definitely be surprised.

“I’m sorry, Tina, were you surprised?”

“Yes, Mr. Rant! Mmm, what is that hair?”

“Ah, this is Lei Ji Fang’s skin.”

“L-Lei Ji Fang? If it’s Leijifang, it’s Wolffang’s special monster that appears on the 13th floor!?”

As much as she works at an inn where adventurers live, Tina seems to know Reijifang.

“Why is Mr. Rant wearing Lei Ji Fang’s skin?”

“I caught this Lei Ji Fang and a person named Kelvan from the Adventurer’s Guild gave it to me as a gift.”

“That, yes… ?”

Tina tilted her head.

I don’t understand why you catch Lei Zifang and give her skin her as a gift.

But Tina immediately smiled and greeted us again.

“Welcome, Mr. Lant, Mr. Elsie, Mr. Noah!”

“I’m back, Tina.”

“I’m back.”

“I’m back~”

“Yes, I was really surprised that Mr. Rant was wearing Lei Zifang skin. By the way…”

Tina twitched and looked at Elsie and Noah, who were still clinging to my arm, she said.

“What are you doing?”

“Ah! This, this…”

Elsie fell from my arms with a whoosh as she blushed.

Noah spread her right hand into a v, winked at her, and put her v her in front of her eyes.

“Salt ♪ long ♪”

“Noah…”

Tina’s eyes looking at Noah are scary!

“Hee hee, sorry, Tina~”

Noah slipped her hand from her arm and walked over to Tina and whispered softly.

“Tonight, Tina monopolizes Rant, right? So I wanted to tease you a little bit. Please forgive. Instead~ Why don’t we use this feeling we feel right now as the driving force to spend a fierce~ night with Lant?”

“Rest, fierce~ one night…”

Tina’s face turned red.

“Hey, hey! Ha, but please refrain from acting too much in the store…”

“Yea, I got it! Oh, Tina! Please ask for our dinner recommendation menu for 3 people!”

“I know. Please take a seat.”

We sat down and waited for our food to arrive.

“Noah… T-Don’t make fun of Tina too much.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. This much will make Tina more motivated tonight, right?”

“Ha, but…”

Tina, who is a bit jealous and actively steps forward…

I think it’s very good!

But I don’t think it’s okay to be too provocative.

“Noah, don’t make fun of Tina when the food comes.”

“I know~ Tina will get very angry if you tease me any more, so I won’t go that far either.”

“Then I’m glad… Ah, I’ll give you 5 gold now.”

I reached into my inventory and tried to recall the money bag. However, taking out that big money bag in this place is noticeable.

Wouldn’t it come out separately if you only think of 10 gold?

I tried to take out the 10 gold in my pocket as a test once.

And fortunately, the 10 gold appeared safely on the table.

It seemed like it was possible to take it out separately like this from the inventory.

“Now, here.”

“Thank you, Rant. I’ll take it well.”

“Hee hee~ Look forward to how you will spend this money, Rant.”

You mean buying dirty underwear?

Very excited.

Of course, I want Elsie and Noah to spend the rest of the money as they please.

“Yes, Noah.”

Elsie and Noah put 5 gold in their respective pockets.

There is still time before the food comes out.

“Elsie, tell me about the myths or legends you know even before the food is served.”

Today with Tina… It was a special massage day, and Elsie’s holy magic had been used up while in the dungeon.

I could have done it while walking in the dungeon, but Elsie and Noah liked to cling to my arms and walk without saying anything.

By the way, I liked it too!

But from now on, I don’t think it’s a bad idea to listen to them a little more.

So the only time to hear Elsie’s story is now.

“Yes, Rant! Then… This time, I’m talking about the rabbit cat-human warrior…”

Elsie smiled broadly and started talking.

This time, we are talking about a warrior, a rabbit cat, who goes to mediate at the request of his wives when a quarrel is about to break out between the rabbit tribe and the cat tribe in his harem.

It was a story in which a strong monster appeared during the mediation, and the warrior, the tow tribe, and the cat cat man teamed up to defeat the monster and somehow reconciled with each other.

Just as the story ended, Tina brought food.

After dinner, Noah held Elsie’s hand and said,

“Elsie~ Let’s go shopping!”

“Show, shopping?”

“Yes. Now that we have money, let’s use it to decorate our bodies a little.”

“But this is for Rant…”

“Can’t we make it pretty so that Rant sees us and likes us?”

“That, that…”

“And… Wouldn’t it be nice to buy erotic underwear for Rant in advance?”

Whoaaaaagh!

“… Yes.”

“Then Rant! Elsie and I will go out and come back.”

Leaving those words behind, Noah led Elsie by the arm and went outside.

… I’m very looking forward to it!

The moment I climbed the stairs and entered my room, took off Lei Ji Fang’s skin and put it in my inventory.

“Ah.”

I realized that today was the day I could do a bath service.

It might be the first night with Tina… No, it’s almost certainly the first night.

Tina might prefer days when she smells like sweat, but since it’s a precious day, I think it would n’t hurt to wash her body her.

I left the room and headed to the counter to pay the bill and receive guidance.

“Yes?”

But at the counter, instead of Miranda, there was a middle-aged woman with a slightly thicker circumference.

I try to ask Tina who this is, but Tina is busy serving food.

I went to the counter and talked to the woman.

“There…”

“Yes? What are you doing?”

“Ms. Miranda…”

“Miranda is cooking in the kitchen. Oh, my name is Chersi, and I will be working at the fox shelter as of today.”

Mr. Chersi was a newly hired employee at the fox shelter.

“Even if I work, it’s from the evening hours, but please take good care of me.”

“Ah yes.”

Obviously, Tina serves and Miranda is in charge of the kitchen, so it will be difficult to respond when a new guest arrives to book a room in the evening.

It was only in the evening, but it was only natural to hire a new employee.

Then Miranda came out of the kitchen holding a plate of her food in her hand.

“Tina~ Here’s your last order.”

“Yes, Mom.”

Tina quickly took the food from Miranda and moved it.

“Whoa~ I finished this evening safely.”

It must have just been the last meal.

Miranda said with a smile to Chersi, who was looking at the counter.

“Thank you for looking at the counter, Mr. Cherci.”

“No, on the contrary, I am also grateful that you hired me. I’ll look at the counter, so Miranda-san, take a break.”

“Fufufu, as expected, it’s nice to have time to rest because we hire people. Ah, Rant.”

Miranda looked at me with a soft smile.

“Do you have any business?”

“Yes. You can take a bath starting today, right?”

Match! Miranda clapped her hands and laughed.

“Sure! It is possible even right now. Oh, have you prepared the fare?”

“Yes.”

I took out 1 gold and 30 silver from the money bag and handed it to Miranda-san.

“Here you go.”

“Hehe, thank you so much for using our inn, Rant.”

Miranda put the money in the counter drawer.

“Are you going to take a bath now?”

“Yes.”

“Then come this way.”

I followed Miranda through a barely noticeable door on the inside.

Upon entering the room, there was a dressing room divided into men and women with the entrance covered by a cloth.

First of all, when I went into the men’s locker room, there was a closet to put clothes in, and towels were piled up on one side.

“You can take off your clothes here and go in.”

And when I left the locker room, I was able to enter the bathroom.

There was a round hole dug in the center of the bathhouse, and on one side was a stone statue of a fox with several buttons attached to the back of the head.

Seeing that the inside is empty, it must have been before adding water.

“This is a bathhouse.”

“There is no water.”

“Hehe, wait a minute.”

Miranda turned around and entered a different doorway from the one we had entered.

Huh? Why are there two doors?

Could it be that there are only separate changing rooms and only one bathroom?

Not long after Miranda entered, she came with a blue magic stone in her hand.

“Hey, Miranda. Is there only one bath by any chance?”

“Yes? Ah… Right. She said that even if he spent money, she could only buy magic tools… Originally, I was planning to set up men’s and women’s hours separately. Well, the only thing I use now is the Rent, so it doesn’t matter, right?”

“Ah yes.”

“Hehe, then our specialty… I will show you the true face of the bath that could have been.”

Miranda-san approached the fox statue.

Hold on!

I pressed one of the buttons on the back of the fox statue’s head, and the statue’s back opened.

Miranda put her magic stone in it and pressed the button again, and the back of her stone statue closed again.

And this time, she pressed a different button and hot water spurted out with great force from the fox statue’s mouth.

Less than 2 minutes later, the water in the bath was completely filled, and after that, the statue of a fox was spouting water at a rapid pace.

The inside of the bathroom quickly turned to steam.

“How are you? Awesome isn’t it?”

“Yes, I see.”

I didn’t know that the hot water in the bath could be filled so quickly with the push of a button.

“What we’ve sent out now is simple hot water, but if you put other plants or fruits together with the magic stone, you can also emit fragrant hot water.

In addition, after taking a bath, you can wash the hot water quickly and then automatically wash it. Isn’t that great! Because of that, I had to pay 5 silver per person to maintain this magic tool…”

You can change the scent with rapid water replenishment, you can remove it at once, and there is an automatic cleaning function.

It is definitely high performance.

It is understandable that the service fee is more expensive than other places.

“Thanks to Rant, I’m glad I finally got to use this magic tool that I ordered but couldn’t use very often.”

Miranda said with a genuinely delighted smile.

Miranda-san is happy, so I’m happy too.

“That is fortunate.”

“I heard that Rant gives Tina massages and uses this bath regularly, so thanks to her, I was able to hire Chersi. Thank you so much, Rant.”

The reason I was able to hire Mr. Chersi was because I had extra funds to hire people by using the service.

“Hehe, then I’ll be able to rest after a long time… As I said before, I can now provide a special secret service to Rant.”

Special… Rain! Wheat! West! Rain! S!

Come to think of it, the reason I applied for this bath service was that I was very curious about the secret service, so I did it.

What kind of secret service is it?

I hope it’s dirty!

“Bee, the Secret Service…”

“Hehe, then I’ll be preparing for a secret service. Rant go into the bath and wash himself.”

Saying that, Miranda-san entered the women’s locker room.

I really want to ask Miranda what the secret service is, but the identity of the secret service will be known sooner or later.

With anticipation, I entered the men’s locker room.

After removing the family armor and putting it in the inventory, I put the extra clothes I had moved from my backpack into the inventory in the dressing room closet.

Come to think of it, almost all of my spare clothes are gone.

I can go to the riverside in the woods outside the city to wash the laundry by myself, but it’s annoying.

Does the fox shelter provide laundry service?

After the bath, ask later.
