2nd Arc, Chapter 42: Masters Confession

The dining hall Actually this place is basically a restaurant.
It seems to be profiting by being managed like a high cla.s.s restaurant.
After taking our seats, a waiter came over to take our orders.
“Have you decided on your orders?”
“The lunch course. And the same for the lady.”
“Certainly. We have either the beef or the fish course. Which would you like?”
“Beef?! Fish?!”
I raised my voice in slight surprise. Come to think of it, in the years Ive been here, the only fish Ive had were freshwater fish.
And the meat Ive had was basically only boar, bear, snake, bird, and the vermin known as keratos Also some pork purchased from the store.
“Hrmm, its been a long time since Ive eaten beef But its hard to turn down fis.h.!.+”
“Haa, Shell have the beef, and Ill have the fish course please.”
“Wha, I want to have fish too.”
“Ill share it with you, and then you can pa.s.s some of the beef to me.”
“Roger that!”
When the food came, we let each other eat our meals, and stuffed ourselves on the lunch.
After the meal, my master ordered a slightly expensive distilled liquor and enjoyed himself with it. All there was in the village was a clouded local sake.
They started selling a distilled liquor in Mareba, the new product was called “clear” sake, and it rarely went to anyone besides my master who lives on the mountain.
There were a lot of orders for it too, so to keep things fair, mister Gusta denied my my masters reservations of it. And there was also the portion that he put aside for himself.
“Burp My belly is so full.”
“That tends to happen when you devour two portions of desert.”
“You know that girls have a separate stomach for deserts, right?”
I made a small, ill mannered burp while rubbing my belly. I guess I really did eat too much.
But when they brought out the frozen sweets, I was beside myself with joy. I liked sweet things quite a bit in my previous life too.
“Would you like a drink too Yuuri?”
“Ill pa.s.s. I would just get smashed.”
“You can break it down with “Adaptability,” cant you?”
“Then I wouldnt even get a little intoxicated. Theres no point.”
Even alcohol gets mercilessly disa.s.sembled by it. Moreover, if I disable my “Gift” to get drunk, then Ill get completely wasted at mach speed.
“Its both a convenient and inconvenient ability, huh.”
“Its a specification.”
I return an expression that cuts off the topic. Filling up on desert, my stomach became a bit unshapely.
“Leaving that aside, I ate a little too much, so is it all right with you if I head back to the room and rest?”
“I dont mind. Ill head back after I finish this off.”
“Its the middle of the day and you intend on emptying a whole bottle, Master?”
With nothing to say, I present a very wet stare to my master, who made a remark reminiscent of a useless adult.
Isnt this situation getting a little too far off track?
“Well, it was a long journey after all. Ill take care of the check later, so go head back and get some rest.”
Humming unconcernedly, my master orders seconds. He wasnt really the type to drink a lot, so hes probably in an especially good mood today.
Im also worried about how Yig is doing after we left him in the room, so I decided to head back first.
“Ill be going then. Please dont drink too much, Master.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
In response to me putting my hands on my hips in an angry manner and warning him, my master makes light of it.
To the employees looking on at us pleasantly: could you stop that please?

Upon returning to the room, an absurd scene awaited me.
Oh, the room wasnt messed up or anything, thats not what I mean It was Yig.
It was my first time seeing a dragon soaking in a tub with a towel on his forehead, gulping down water from a cup.
“Y-youre a surprisingly talented child, Yig.”
“Ugyuu~”
“How long are you planning on being in there anyway Isnt it hot? Well, I guess compared to how hot your breath is, the water is nothing.”
“Gaffu, Gaffu, Gaffu”
“Where did that water even come Nope, forget it. In any case, I wont be able to use it like this.”
This is also the first time Ive seen a dragon dextrously holding a water jug to its mouth and drinking straight from the bottle. This kid seems to be growing in a very nonsensical direction.
But I suppose if I cant use this bath, then maybe I should go to the open air bath?
I think the open air bath here is supposed to be mixed bathing And as a little sc.r.a.p of a woman, Ill need to be quite ready for that.
Itll be a little scary if there are other people there, but Moreover, I wonder if my master will go in too.
“No, my master is drinking in the dining hall right now! Actually, entering the bath together was supposed to be my big goal.”
I tried to clench my fists to get myself fired up for it But of course Im still too embarra.s.sed. Since Ive started being more self-conscious.
Therefore
” Maybe I should bring a nice big towel with me?”
Is the questionable line of compromise I decided to execute.

Swish, went the sliding door, so unusual for this world, as I opened it will all my might.
Steam covered the area beyond the door in a haze, and before I knew it the Sealing Magic Mirror had clouded over.
But even though my visibility went to practically zero, its not like I can take them off. If someone were to enter, then it would turn into a catastrophe.
So that I dont need to take them off, I wipe the gla.s.ses with the end of my towel, and regain my field of vision Alright, n.o.bodys here.
“Whew I got so nervous for nothing. This is why being outside the cottage is”
Briefly looking around, the large bath is roughly the size of an average pool. Unflagging bare rocks are placed about, making a nice atmosphere.
The stone in the center of the bath has a sculpture carved out of it Is that A Manneken Pis?1
“Hey G.o.d, the previous world and this world must have some connection, right? But seriously, seeing such a large quant.i.ty of hot water gus.h.i.+ng out from a Manneken Pis like this is Yknow?”
The little urinating boy in the center is bursting forth an abundant stream of hot water into the bath. Whoever thought up this design; show yourself!
Ah, anyway Ill pretend I never saw that.
“Right, the question is how is the water. Not where its coming from.”
I get some water to wash my body off, and use the towel to gather my hair up.
In exchange, my body was bare now, but since Ive had it for 5 years now, I guess I dont feel much from it?
“Im totally flat and smooth anyway If I had a more buxom body, then I wonder if I would have played with myself a bit?”
After was.h.i.+ng off my sweat and grime, I submerge myself in the bath. The warmth of the water makes it feel like Im being sucked in.
“Whew This is fantastic I think I understand how Yig feels.”
Im probably making an expression that I cant show to anyone else right now.
It feels, plain a simple, amazing. This could be bad. Its comparable to my masters lap.
While I entered that entranced, defenseless stateSwish, went the sliding door as it opened And my master entered.
“WHAA?! M-m-m-m-master, whyso suddenly!”
“Oh, yoooure here too, Yuuri. Dont mind mee.”
“Its occupied! By me! Please wait for a bit.”
“This mixed bathin, iiisn it?”
” Youre kinda slurring your words. Are you drunk?”
“Yeeah, a bit.”
On closer inspection, his face is bright red. Will he be okay going into the bath like that?
“Aahh, shees.h.!.+ Hold on a minute. You have to wash off before you go in the bath”
“Whoops, sorryy.”
I take my masters hand and pull him over to the was.h.i.+ng area.
Uugh, its shaking around “What is,” you ask? What indeed.
“Now that were here, lets get your body washed. You understand?”
“Yeaah, youre awfully considerate today.”
My master takes a seat on the stool, and the towel he didnt bring a towel? Its all I have, so I remove the one wrapped around my head and use it.
I rinse him with water for a while, then lather up the soap and wash his back.
“Since you dont have any strength, youre practically tickling me. But it feels really nice.”
” Well, good then.”
Umm I got used to was.h.i.+ng his body back in Rahon, but with both of us naked it feels a bit different
On top of that, I wasnt ready for any of this.
Co-conversation! I can gloss over this mood if I just start a conversation!
“Why did you come to the bath when youre so drunk?”
“Hmmm? Solkalis is all about their hot springs, right?”
“Thats a pretty simplistic Its dangerous to get in a hot bath while youre drunk.”
“And I figured youd be here too, Yuuri.”
“Eh?”
I-in other words This is exactly the kind of situation that my master was hoping for?
Being in the bath with me? Thats what my master wants?
“Why are you acting like this?”
“I was worried about you, Yuuri.”
“This is an inn. Theres nothing dangerous here.”
“Theres that weirdo following you around, isnt there?”
“Uu But the entrance is being watched by the inns employees, right?”
“Then Ill just say it honestly. I wanted to get in with you. Because I like you.”
“Hwha?!”
Wh-what did he just say? Did I mishear Wait, Im sure he meant it in a family sense, or, you know, something like that.
Fufufu, you think Id misunderstand?
While I came to a self-contained conclusion like that, my master took me into somewhat rough embrace.
I, who was behind my master, was pulled to his side and entwined with him as he hugged me tightly.
“Ill say it once more, Yuuri. I love you.”2
My master by how he said it, I could tell that he was completely serious.
His words expressed how much he wanted me. Theres no way I wouldnt be happy.
I embrace my masters body in return, and tears flowed from me.
“Am I Good enough for you?”
“Youre all I want, Yuuri.”
“Im a child, you know?”
“You just turned 15 a while back.”
“Umm But I cant have s.e.x or anything? Because of the effects of “Sacred Treasure”.”
“As long as we have these “rings,” well manage somehow.”
“I cant have children.”
“We could always adopt. In fact, maybe we should adopt Alec?”
“Lets not, please.”
My master put on a joking air. However, he hugged me all the tighter Its almost like he was strongly hugging me to say he wouldnt let me get away.
When I raised my face to look at him, he had an anxious expression. It was rare on my master, who was always calm and composed.
Why does he look so worried?
“So, umm Will you Give me a reply? Or perhaps you dont like old people like me?”
” Oh, no way! I wouldnt dislike that.”
Answering such, I s.h.i.+ft positions, and hug my master while sitting on his lap.
I rest my head in his arm and bring my face close
“If youll have me, thengladly.”
With a faint, sighing voice, I accepted his proposal.
After that, we exchanged our first kiss as man and woman
“How did you like your first time in the bath, Master?”
“I couldnt stop things from running their course.”

Authors Note:
It was rather quick, but its the second arcs climax.
Manneken Pis is a statue of a naked little boy urinating. Its famous as a landmark in Brussels, but there are variants of it in many places, including one in j.a.pan. When Haster says “I love you” here, he uses the masculine p.r.o.noun “Ore” ( ) to refer to himself, whereas he had previously always used the gender neutral “Watas.h.i.+.”
