Chapter 361 – 32. The Kingdom of the Twin Gods
The first day of arriving at Futashima’s Fox Island and Inari Castle.
Han Si-woo stayed calm.
I rested in my room before dinner.
After that, all he did was look around the castle with his group.
Even this was with several maids whom Suzume had attached.
In addition to the three people who came from Palania, Miko, a shrine maiden, was next to her, but she did not have much conversation with her. To be exact, it was close to not being able to do it because of the maids’ perception.
And late at night.
The light in his room hasn’t gone out yet.
“Gulp, gulp, gulp… Phhh!”
Siwoo takes a big gulp of cool water and puts down the kettle.
He let in a cool breeze through the slightly open window.
My naked body is drenched in sweat, but I feel cool rather than cold.
“Ugh, Siwoo…♡”
As I looked at the starry night, I turned my head to the sound of tossing and turning and the name I heard.
“It’s so dirty there, haha…”
“… What, it was sleep talk.”
I saw him falling asleep, but he was surprised when Elaine suddenly called him, and it was as expected of him talking in his sleep.
It could happen, but it would be quite difficult for her to open her eyes now.
I had taken care of business before coming to Futashima and stayed up all night.
Unlike usual, it must have been awkward because it was not a bed but the floor.
Of course, both the blanket and mattress are thick and of good quality, so I feel like I can sleep well when I lie down.
There are very few places to put beds in Futashima, so if you don’t provide this much to your guests, who will come? Although tourism is not active, there are quite a few envoys from foreign countries, so Inari Castle is good at entertaining guests.
‘This is probably similar to Oni Island.’
“Yes…”
Elaine groans again.
Si-woo closed her window, walked over to her, and carefully covered her with a blanket.
When I thought about it, I thought she might be cold even though she was naked.
“Good night, Elaine.”
Then she kissed him on the forehead and walked towards the door and rang her bell.
As expected, the maid waiting near the door answered as soon as her bell rang.
“Did you call me?”
The voice was different from the evening, perhaps because there was a staff change at night.
At first glance, you might think it was a hard time even during these times, but this was definitely surveillance.
She is evil in that she is not a guard but an unarmed maid who can make you let down your guard.
“I’m sorry, but can I take a bath?”
“A bath, you mean?”
“Yes. I saw earlier that the hot springs were good.”
“… Do you really need to use it now?”
“I’m sweating a lot right now. If I go to sleep without washing up, I’ll feel uncomfortable.”
“… Okay, I’ll get ready right away.”
Her answer was that, but her maid never left her door.
Instead, it seemed like they had someone else prepare it.
‘I guess this method is the best.’
He devised various ideas to escape surveillance.
Suzume and her maids’ secret gaze was quite dense, but there were also many hidden holes.
Right now, there was nothing in this room except for the maid guarding it, and she didn’t seem to notice even when Maki Senjo came through her window. However, with only the shrine maiden Miko by her side, surveillance became much more thorough.
That’s why he aimed for this moment.
Hot springs at midnight.
It is difficult to install something in a hurry as it is not scheduled.
It is not easy to use people, not just techniques.
‘Men in the world of war definitely have many good sides.’
In this world, most male-only facilities tend to be extravagant and nice.
Whether it’s a toilet or a bathroom, and no matter what country it is.
The only exception is the Kingdom of Elbazon, which still has the tendency to be male-dominant.
As for the rest, starting with the size of the facility, quality and security are on a different level from women’s facilities. That’s because, except for the warriors of this world, all men here are weak and picky.
And the same goes for Futashima.
Thanks to this, the men’s hot springs cannot be easily monitored even by the castle owner.
It is difficult to use people, or even to use divine protection or special abilities.
In some ways, men’s hot springs and men’s baths are the safest in Inari Castle.
That’s something I checked when I washed my body after dinner.
I wouldn’t have expected him to suddenly go to the bathhouse at this late hour, so I wouldn’t have had time to do anything.
Siwoo wiped his body and took a dip in the hot spring.
“Haha, good…”
A languid heat seeps into the skin.
I’ve already been there once, but it’s still good.
In Palania and Elbazon, I took a dip in a bath that was larger than these hot springs, but these hot springs still had a different taste. I don’t know if the efficacy is due to scientific or supernatural factors.
“…”
A few minutes have passed since I soaked in the bath with my eyes closed.
Siwoo, who was quietly enjoying a hot spring bath, said.
“There won’t be much time, when will it come out?”
“… S-sorry…”
Miko, a shrine maiden who secretly appears from behind a large stone in the corner of the hot spring with an apple.
There was a lot of embarrassment in her voice.
“Hmm. Well, well, I’m not used to this…”
“If this is the case, do you mean hot springs?”
“Oh, no. That’s not it…”
Soon, Miko approached Siu through the steam.
She was naked.
To be more precise, she grabbed a thick towel and used it to cover her chest and between her legs, but it didn’t have much effect. At best, only her stomach and pussy were covered, but her sturdy mamma and thighs were clearly visible.
Haha.”
Siwoo laughed at that cute appearance.
It’s not that there aren’t shy women around, but the gap between day and night was so big that it felt especially cute.
Miko, a woman dressed as a shrine maid who maintained a blank expression and used an old-fashioned tone.
She doesn’t doubt that she is Futashima’s shrine maiden, but she is happy that it is different from what she imagined. Even though it’s the right time to talk about something important, she just wants to joke around. Still, I endured it because time was running out.
“… Excuse me.”
Miko took a seat to one side, trying to maintain her composure.
“I definitely don’t feel like there’s surveillance.”
“The maid who followed me is also outside the bathhouse.”
The maid also knows that the surveillance of her men’s bathhouse is a loophole.
Therefore, she tried to secretly seduce him and enter the bathhouse, or at least the dressing room.
However, Siwoo’s face turned red at the playful remark, and he immediately ran outside.
There was a distance due to the locker room, so it was impossible to eavesdrop on Tang’s conversation from outside.
“Good. It’s a good thing you remembered this place. Then, to get to the point, I…”
“But isn’t it too far?”
“… Yes?”
“Just in case you don’t know, it’s better to keep it small.”
Siwoo smiled and gestured to Miko.
“Please come to the side.”
“…”
Miko was momentarily conflicted by his flirtatious temptation, but she soon slowly moved her hips next to him.
“… Uhm… Excuse me, I’ll do it…”
“You said that earlier.”
“Now, you’re so mischievous.”
“Haha. Sorry. Then I will ask. Why did you come to see me?”
“… Yes. As you know, a dispute has arisen between the two gods of Futashima.”
“Hmm. I’m not sure about that, but the elf god said that something big would happen here.”
“That’s right. It’s a betrayal by one of the two ruling families that rule Futashima. It’s a rebellion. Not everyone participated, but at least a lot of people, including the head of the family, are aware of it. It… Has to be stopped.”
“That’s what I came here for.”
Siwoo gives a clear answer.
At that positive meaning, Miko closed her eyes and bowed to him while sitting.
“Thank you very much.”
“… Nothing to say.”
The answer was delayed by half a beat as the water droplets that were barely visible appeared on the cleavage.
Miko didn’t notice. She was too serious right now to even care about this.
The mother country, which has a history spanning thousands of years, is on the verge of division.
There have been civil wars from time to time, but this one is on a different level.
It is related to the god that is worshiped, and the future of the world depends on it.
Miko, an arbiter who loves her country, cannot help but be sincere.
“First, please tell me everything you can. I don’t have as much information as I thought.”
“Oh, of course.”
From then on, the two had a conversation full of rich extract.
Both of us were naked, and the distance was only about 1 m, but there was no time to think about that.
The current situation in Futashima was really not good for that.
Miko’s story, which contained important information, lasted for almost 10 minutes.
“… Roughly this much. That’s all I’ll tell you.”
“Thank you. Saying the rest wouldn’t help, would it?”
“Hmm. That’s…”
“Some things are literally useless.”
“Oh, yes. That’s right. The saint is quite knowledgeable in foresight.”
“It just so happened that it happened like that.”
“I’m glad. Prophecy and foresight are something I really enjoy being misunderstood by others.”
“There’s definitely something like that.”
Siwoo nods her head and agrees.
Miko looked at his face blankly.
Is he really a saint?
From her appearance, I quite like her and her personality is also good.
Looking at the rumors that have been heard from outside, it seems that her abilities are quite outstanding. That part is natural. She is the protagonist of an important prophecy given by the Twin Gods, and is the warrior who will resolve the incident that could tear the country in two.
‘It takes about a week for something to happen. Please be in it…’
“Miko?”
“Oh, yes!”
“Let’s leave quickly. The shaman probably came here secretly, so you should go back quickly.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The meeting in the bathhouse was planned by Siwoo.
Thanks to Senjou Maki, he discovered a loophole that allowed him to enter and leave through her window, and asked her to relay her words to Miko. Since her Maki had worked especially hard, she planned to repay him in many ways.
“But where did you come in?”
“…”
“Oh, really, through the entrance?”
“Security was tight, so there was only one entrance.”
“That’s true. But then when you leave…”
“… Well, a little… Please.”
Siwoo let out a laugh.
She even showed her foolish side. She was truly a shaman who showed a different side to her first appearance in many ways. This seems to be her natural personality, but what does she usually do? It must be really hard for her too.
“I will attract attention, so please sneak out then.”
“… Yes, thank you.”
Miko, a shaman who escaped from the men’s bathhouse safely with a little help from Siwoo.
She went back to the room with her subordinate, Sejak, who was hiding in Inari Castle.
Siwoo may not have known it, but surprisingly, there were quite a few Sejak.
It was thanks to a few people that I was able to go to the men’s bathhouse without being caught.
Miko quickly lay down on the blanket with her cleansed body.
“Ugh…♡”
She quickly fell asleep and had a strange dream.
A dream in which she and the man with her blurred face are having sex.
I couldn’t see the man’s face, I couldn’t tell if it was a precognitive dream or an ordinary dream, but the man’s dick looked very similar to someone’s seen under the hot water. Even the length, thickness, and shape.
The next morning, Miko asked her maid to change her bedding.
