第２２掘：お風呂は日本が誇る文化である。 (Part2)
"Wait a moment. I understand that Yuki-san isn't in danger, but... how will this many people build a village or town? Will reinforcements be coming? Are we camping in the dungeon's plains tonight?"
Eris raised a valid point.
"Eris is right. I want to explain that properly first, so Ratz, please wait a moment."
"Sorry, sorry. First, our sleeping arrangements for tonight, right~"
With that, I activated "Dig Here, Doggy Dog" and, consuming DP, summoned a building suitable for the current number of people from the planned structures.
I earned about 500,000 DP from the previous knight order's foolish charge. In the end, around 400 of them perished within the dungeon. That's about 1,000 DP per person. Thank you for the meal.
"Whoa~, this is amazing, Onii-san. Is this a Dungeon Master's skill? I see, you really don't need manpower for this."
Only Ratz could comment on the building that suddenly appeared before her eyes.
The rest of the members stared with wide, astonished eyes.
"For now, please come inside. Ah, please take off your shoes at the entrance. Where I used to live, that was the norm."
"Huh~, you came from a strange place... Huh? Do Dungeon Masters have a place of origin?"
"I'll explain that after we get inside."
Urging everyone along, we entered the house.
The house I created with DP was an inn. Complete with an open-air bath, of course.
It cost 2,000 DP, which was quite high, but as a Japanese person, there were things I couldn't compromise on.
"Right, before we talk, let's wash off the sweat. Follow me."
"Wash off sweat? Is it a well?"
Eris followed, looking around the unfamiliar Japanese-style corridor.
The others were mostly the same.
"Do you know what a bath is?"
"Isn't that something only royalty and nobles use? Do you have a bath!?"
Milly looked at me with surprise.
"Ah, a bath... well, it's even better than that. It's called an open-air bath!!"
"Rotenburo? If Onii-san says so, it must be amazing~"
Ratz followed me, already excited. She seemed quite curious.
"Ahhh, it's been a while. A bath!! It's great to finally take one after meeting Yuki!"
"Ah, that's right. Yuki, do you have any sake? Japanese sake would be nice."
"An open-air bath, huh? As Yuki said, it must be even better than a regular bath."
These three are people who, after meeting me, experienced a bath for the first time and realized its goodness.
However, they also started drinking sake in the bath. Well, that's also quite refined.
"Here we are. Mauve and the others, this is the men's bath. Eris and the others, this is the women's bath. I'll explain, so the men go in first. The yukata are inside. The sake is in a visible location. Raiya and Curse, please look after them."
"Yippee!! A bath!!"
"Understood. I'll be drinking my fill of sake."
"I'll try my best. But Yuki's culture is a luxury for me too, so I'll relax a little."
Saying that, the three of them passed through the curtain of the men's bath.
"Alright everyone, this way. I have a lot to explain, so follow me."
I led the female members to the women's bath.
"Whoa~, everything is amazing, but I don't know how to use it."
"I-It's amazing."
"This is... the open-air bath..."
Ratz, Eris, and Milly stared at the open-air bath, seemingly exhausted from their astonishment.
"Well, before that, please use one of these baskets for your clothes. There are yukata inside. You wear them like this..."
I demonstrated how to simply put them on over their clothes.
"I'll wash your clothes as they are, so please wear these yukata after your bath. There are towels and such inside too. Take a small towel with you to the bath. You'll use it to wash your body with soap. The large towel is for drying yourself after the bath."
"...You even have soap!?"
Kaya was surprised by my statement. Ah, right, soap was a luxury item in this world.
"...Do you know what shampoo and conditioner are?"
"No~, sorry Onii-san. I have no idea."
Ratz scratched her head and laughed. For some reason, she was holding a towel in one hand and was completely naked.
But Ratz wasn't the only one; they were all naked and approaching me.
"Hey, I'm a man. And you are all women. Don't wander around naked like this."
"But, we don't know how to use it, and it's faster to learn by bathing with Onii-san, right?"
"That's not the issue. You are not slaves, you have human rights. I didn't designate you for protection to do something like that."
"Yes, yes, we understand your kindness, Onii-san~. But normally, people would be violated like this and turned into sex slaves. Let's bathe together as a thank you to Onii-san and for me to explain how to use the bath."
With that said, Ratz positioned herself on either side of me, with Eris and Milly joining in.
"Which would you prefer: to be forcibly undressed, or to undress yourself?"
"We don't know how to use it. Please give up."
"I understand... I'll undress myself. Wait for me..."
And so, I resigned myself and entered the women's bath with them.
"If Onii-san is willing, I'm perfectly fine with it~."
