Chapter 71 – Episode 71. New Companion Is a Wet Elf
– Shaaa.
A bath located in the basement of the mansion.
When the device in the facility was activated, the central bathtub was filled with water, and the water began to warm up with the heat rising from below.
The moment their skin is naturally moistened as they enter the steam that begins to fill the space.
Celica, who was watching the scene, squeezed the towel to hide herself and let out her admiration.
“Wow, this is amazing~ I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bathtub this big.”
“Of course it has to be great. Is it a place that moves with someone’s magic?”
Ymir entered the bathroom following Celica.
Unlike Celica, who was preoccupied with looking around her, she took the time to measure the temperature by dipping her feet in her bathtub, which was already filled with water.
Is it suitable?
No. She waved her hand to feel a little hot, and the boiling bubbles began to subside accordingly.
A spectacle that would surprise anyone if they were not well versed in mana handling. Celica, who had been quietly watching from her side, looked back at Yumir in a curious way.
“Are you warming it with Ymir’s magic?”
“Rather than warming it with magic, when I enter this bathroom, my mana permeates the device and activates it. On the other hand, if I’m not there, everything has to be turned manually, so while you’re together, it might be better to come wash at the same time as me.”
After all, if you want to soak your body completely, you have to fill the bathtub with water, and if one or two people increase, the mana needed to heat the water doesn’t make a difference.
-Shoot!
Soon after reaching the right temperature, Ymir immediately soaks in the bathtub.
As the heat reached my shoulders, I could feel the muscles in my body that had been stiff from walking around all day loosen up.
“Huh~ I think I’ll live~”
“Yes, the temperature of the water is just right, so I think I will fall asleep.”
Celica immersed herself in the same feeling of satisfaction. Looking back, Ymir’s mouth started to play a little.
“Where do you have time to sleep? Just in case you don’t know, wash the places you can’t see. This time, while fighting monsters, she covered the pile of entrails…”
“Aww!! Don’t remind me of something I forgot!”
“Your voice is ringing, so don’t shout, you bastard.”
-With a plop!
As it is, Yumir lowers Celica’s head all the way to the bottom of the water with her telekinesis.
Celica, who was resisting him, began to vomit water out of her nose and mouth, crying out at her.
“… Liven up a little Because I can understand it even with words.”
“I’m sorry. Since I don’t have to use magic in real combat, I can’t control my strength well.”
Yes, the accident that occurred during the quest at the time was also caused by Ymir.
As human beings have reached the pinnacle of magic, they are also familiar with combat magic, but they have been immersed only in research so far, so they have no idea how much magic they should use in battle.
If you don’t use a sword, it will rust. It probably took quite some time before he regained his senses enough to fight properly.
“No, no matter how hard it is to control your strength, you can’t use magic so strong that it can destroy the entire area just by catching one! Thanks to that, I was able to kill the monster, but it was covered with dirt and a pile of entrails… Ugh, do you know how hard I struggled to wipe it all off?”
“If you don’t like it, you should have caught it. I thought I was going to deal with it alone, but in the end, I asked me to solve it, so it happened.”
“No, this is a matter of common sense! At least reduce the power a bit…”
“You think that magic is universal because you only use it to surround yourself with mana, but do you know how easy it is to deal with invisible mana only with your senses? If I were told to make a work of art with transparent clay right away, they would immediately ask me how to do it.”
“… Ugh After all, he never tries to lose a fight.”
Celica groaned and sighed deeply, brushing her wet hair.
How long has it been since then?
Soon, the regret she felt while carrying out this quest spewed out of Celica’s mouth.
“Certainly, Mr. Melia would have been more suitable than Mr. Ymir when aiming for a single target.”
Melia.
An elf who was originally scheduled to join, but was selected as a sniper for the current warrior party, who was swept away by an unexpected incident and lost his whereabouts.
Although he had only met her two or three times, Ymir still had distinct memories of her.
“That’s right, if there was a sniper, there wouldn’t have been a need to make a fuss about getting one…”
A god who puts an arrow in the center of a distant target and splits the arrow into arrows.
Yumir also faced all kinds of quirks until she rose to the position of the great mage, but her archery skills she showed were at an absurd level that she could count among them.
As if to prove that he was not a member of the former warrior party for nothing, and that he was not chosen as one of the top 10 strongmen of the continent.
‘Well, in terms of something like a monster, that damn armor is better.’
Two of the continent’s top 10 players in one party.
Is being a hero really that great?
“Ugh, I still feel like I haven’t lost my catch. Dave didn’t notice?”
A young warrior who is immersed in the thought of his lover, still worrying about the damage he suffered in the quest.
Yumir, who had been examining her carefully, thought of her as she rested her chin on her arm out of the bathtub.
‘Although he’s definitely stupid and lacking.’
A thought that would be very rude if Celica knew.
‘… The growth alone was amazing.’
And apart from that, she positively evaluated her skills that she showed.
Yes, she didn’t say it out of her mouth, but Ymir was in a state of appreciating Celica’s ability today.
Even if you don’t know about S-class adventurers, your skills should be considered at least as low as A-class.
Considering that it was only a rookie adventurer a month ago, it didn’t seem like it would take more than half a year to reach the level of an S-class adventurer, who was even called the 10 strongest candidates for the next continent.
‘The problem is that the surroundings have to adjust to that growth.’
Of course, it would be good if growth was fast, but the problem is that no matter how strong a warrior is, ‘it’s too much to lead the public alone’.
In the end, it is inevitable to have a colleague who will grow together and work together. That’s why, in the midst of growing, the absence of a colleague who will share such growth cannot be said to be a very good situation even for the future.
‘I hope the kid Dave brings has the skills to keep pace with his growth…’
Even if it’s not himself, I wish I had enough skills to come to the bottom of it, but Ymir shifts his gaze.
There was a new colleague who was quietly soaking in the bathtub along with them.
Hey. An elf girl who is believed to have hidden her identity and sneaked into human society.
“Heh, uh…”
… How should we accept the appearance of such a being lying limp in a hot bath?
“Are you okay?”
Concerned about her disheveled appearance, he approached and asked, but it didn’t happen that Heira’s blind eyes turned to Yumir.
Just lift her dazed head up.
“… Water.”
She says something small, and she just continues to groan what she feels.
“It’s hot… Her head goes blank…”
“… Come to think of it, elves are weak against heat, aren’t they?”
In fact, the Great Forest, the main base of the elves, is a relatively cool area.
As much as they are used to such a climate, they are not used to hot baths like now, so their body temperature will inevitably rise higher than expected.
‘Still, if I wasn’t used to it, I would have adjusted it a bit.’
Could it be that she is a child who is bad at speaking her opinion?
Annoying. Thinking of this, Ymir clicked his tongue and started approaching Heira.
“I’ll let him cool off for a bit.”
“Yes? What about Heira? If that’s the case, I…”
“Okay, do you know what to do after leaving it to you?”
“What do you mean? It looks like I’m trying to do something mean to Heira, doesn’t it?”
“… Wipe the drool from her mouth and say something.”
“Eh, this isn’t saliva, it’s the water from the dive earlier… Kuhak!!”
Ymir uses his telekinetic powers to ram Celica’s head under the water.
After that, she felt Celica’s emotional heart as she came out of the dive, but in the end, she turned her back to her seat with only a gloomy expression on her face.
‘It’s fortunate that he gave up quickly.’
She’s turned her mansion upside down with just one Dave, and she won’t be able to cope with one more obsession.
Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if such accidents continued to happen in the absence of Verdia?
“Anyway, I happened to be the guardian.”
She grumbled in disbelief, but even so, Ymir didn’t throw Heira out.
It’s the first time we’ve met today, but you can say that we have a duty to take care of you while we’re together as long as Dave brought you here.
“Are you feeling better?”
“… Ooh, uh.”
Later, when she arrived at the corner of the large bath, Heira let out a faint moan.
Although the upper body is erect, it is ready to tip over and fall down if one is even a little vigilant.
No, it might be better to let her fall.
“Lie down here for a bit.”
Soon, the moment Heira’s head tilted forward, Yumira held Heira’s head close to her chest.
Her voluptuous breasts buried her own little head.
“… Go.”
Is it because you care about the feel?
Heira, who was trying to grasp the situation with a blank mind, began to stare at the thing in front of me, albeit with a blurry gaze.
“Chest…”
“… Hey, I used to talk as soon as I woke up.”
Of course, it’s a situation that doesn’t bother me as much as it’s a child who can’t even wake up.
After bursting out laughing, Yumir stroked the back of Heira’s head and pushed his head deeper into her chest.
“Yes, yes. This is my little girl’s favorite chest. Is it cozy and nice?”
It’s usually an obstacle that weighs down your shoulders, but wouldn’t it be nice to be able to use it for this purpose?
“… Po, Geun.”
As if the feeling wasn’t too bad, Heira closed her eyes and began to lean her head deeper into her chest.
Why? If it was like before, it wouldn’t have been enough to throw it away saying that it was annoying and annoying, but now, the girl in my arms feels very cute.
Is it because you can afford it?
By the time Yumir thought and stroked Heira’s hair, she began to trace the feel of Heira’s face, even with her dazed mind.
‘This, something. I’m used to it…’
Yes, I’m sure I’ve had this kind of experience before.
At the time when it was not easy to return home at the time of walking through the mountains, she remembered the time when she would donate the milk of mother animals passing by.
‘… Something to eat.’
Besides, it’s still before mealtime.
The feeling of hunger she gradually felt stimulated her instincts of Heira, whose rationality had been put to sleep, and as if faithful to it, her mouth began to open without awareness.
“Yes.”
The moment she laid her nipples on top of her voluptuous breasts with her small mouth.
“Hahah~!”
Surprised by the pressure that followed, Ymir’s mouth echoed with a sharp sigh.
