Mannen D-rank No Chuunen Boukensha, Yotta Ikioi De Densetsu No Ken Wo Hikkonuku - CH 42

When we finally got to the safe zone, we began setting up camp.

Today we will take a break.

[It seems that there are few people who have reached this point]

Aria looked around her.

Certainly, there were more adventurers and others in the safe area on the third floor.

And looking around here, the number is much less.

[That would be because the fourth floor is difficult. It’s cold]

[… ..Oh, it seems that it has already heated up]

We were eating around a campfire.

We had some sausages on skewers.

It would be difficult for a person to bring alot of food during a long expedition, especially inside the dungeon for several days.

[… ..Even so, it’s the first time I’ve seen someone who has brought a large amount]

[Uhh]

The number of sausages is not ten or twenty.

Cruxie always carries twice our luggage, but most of the content is food.

[I-It’s just that… .. you can get free food from the academy… ..and with Aria-san’s sword, you can make fire at any time….]

[Im not a portable stove you know?]

[I-I know]

Certainly, Aria’s crimson princess and her 【Fire Control】 “Unique Skill” is very convenient.

Usually you need to use a magic tool or a fire stone to make a fire.

However, since magic tools are expensive, it is impossible for the academy to pay for all of them, fire stones are stones that create fire when hit, but fire disappears quickly so it is disposable.

Dry wood had to be found somewhere to keep the fire going.

On this floor covered in ice and snow, it is difficult to come by.

In that sense, the crimson princess can even dry up damp trees, there is nothing to worry about lighting a fire in such a place.

Sensing that the food if finally ready Cruxie took a bite of the sausage.

『Her lips with the ember shining on them is erotic』

What are you saying?

[… .I would like to take a bath]

Suddenly, Aria muttered under her breath.

I understand how you feel.

Even in this extreme cold, I sweat a lot after getting this far.

But this is a dungeon.

There is no luxury like that.

But speaking of which, I would like to clean my body with a towel and change my clothes.

When I looked at Cruxie was somewhat hesitant for some reason.

[…… Well, there’s a place you can clean yourselves, but… ..]

[What? there’s a place here?]

*

That was in a location not far from the safe zone.

[Amazing! Could this be a hot springs….?]

Staring at that steaming pond, Aria had her eyes shining.

When I got closer and put my hand … ..it’s certainly hot.

[Why is there so much hot water in this place?]

[I do not know either. But, I guess because the next floor is the volcanic floor, maybe it’s influenced by that]

I do not know how if I’m correct, but the soil here is heated by the heat of the 5th floor, and it seems that with the melting ice and snow, they become hot water with temperature just right.

Aria had to go in first.

Cruxie and I will wait for a while.

[Hey wait, where are you planning to go?]

[I also want to go in with Aria ~!]

[What am I going to do if a monster appears?]

Venus tried to go with Aria in her human form without permission, I grabbed her by the neck and stopped her.

This perverted sword.

[Hey? Didn’t you hear the voice of a child?]

[I-It must be your imagination]

I’m glad Cruxie was looking the other way.

Meanwhile, I shoved Venus in her sword form back into the sheath.

『”….It can not be helped. I guess I’ll look at Aria naked through the replica. hehehehe… .. 』

[You can you also do that… ..?]

After a while, Aria appeared with a refreshed expression.

With her skin and hair wet.

『Women who finish bathing look 30% more beautiful kukuku』

Of course, Aria was already a beautiful girl from the beginning.

[It really was a good bath]

[Now it’s our turn. Come on Cruxie]

[… ..Y-Yes]

*

[Ahh, how relaxing ~, this is paradise… ..]

『You smell old』

Shut up.

But, I’m actually an old man, so it can’t be helped.

My tired body feels like it’s relaxing.

I didn’t think there was such a place in the dungeon.

If the difficulty of getting here was less, it could have been a very popular place.

By the way, just in case, I put Venus on top of my head instead of a towel.

『Kuhh… .. don’t you think it’s quite rude not letting me enter the hot springs?』

Due to the size of the pond, it seems that I can swim.

It’s shallow around here though, but it seems to get deeper as you go as your feet don’t reach it, there’s a chance there are monsters in the water.

It would be wise not to stray too far from shore.

[Other than that, Cruxie is sure taking his time]

When I took off my clothes a while ago, he said “You can go ahead!”

But what is he doing?

『Oh, his already here』

A shadow appeared behind the steam.

For some reason he was somewhat embarrassed with red cheeks, Cruxie with a towel around his body entered the water.

I’m the one who’s embarrassed if it’s like that …

Also, he turned his back on me, I couldn’t take my eyes off his butt so beautiful that you could see through the towel.

Heat concentrates on my crotch.

No, no, no, he is a man.

Even if it’s cute, it’s a man’s butt.

As I try to tell myself, I struggle to push bad thoughts out of my head.

…..Even so.

Despite being the owner of great strength, Cruxie’s arms are slender and the width of the shoulders is narrow.

And his skin looked very smooth and fresh, overall he looks like a woman.

[Fuwaa ~, it’s certainly very refreshing]

His face that finally turned here relaxes as if melting.

Cute…..

I guess it doesn’t matter anymore if it’s a man or a woman as long as it’s cute? Even though I was heading in a ridiculous direction because of what I thought, that happened….

[Waa, it’s a penguin]

When I looked in the direction of Cruxie’s voice, a penguin was walking on the ice.

It was getting closer to here.

[Fufufu, did the penguin also come to enter the hot springs?]

Cruxie laughed in amusement.

And he approached the penguin being defenseless.

At that moment, I had a bad feeling.

At first glance it looks like a cute penguin, but perhaps it is a dangerous monster.

It is because we are inside the dungeon.

[Cruxie! Be careful! It could be a monster!]

With Venus in hand, I ran towards him in a hurry.

[Eh?]

When he turned his face, he seemed to be in shocked.

[~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ !!!! ???]
