第２３掘：のんびり (Part1)
I managed to maintain my sanity. I think I'm on the verge of enlightenment.
"…Nice to meet you. I don't know how to use it either."
"Please take care of us."
"I'll do my best to learn!!"
Asurin and Firia are fine. No problems. They're just child-sized.
It's like an adult accompanying a child in the bath.
But Labiris has two melons attached.
Calm down, I'm not a lolicon. I'm a proper gentleman.
"I'm sorry, big brother, but you know best, so please take care of these three~. We'll be too busy with our own things."
Ratz pushes the three towards me like that.
The other members are also naked, of course.
Ah, this is something that's easier to do as a job.
"Alright, there's no point in being shy. If we catch a cold, it'll be for nothing."
With that, I stop hiding. I'm not an exhibitionist.
"Wow~, big brother. So that's how you look when you're working… There's no one to tease here~. Well, as big brother says, it's no good if we catch a cold, so I guess it can't be helped."
"Sorry about that. Let's do that another time. First, we need to wash our bodies before getting into the bath over there."
Saying that, I head towards the shower and turn the faucet.
"This is amazing. Turning this one gives hot water, and turning the blue one gives cold water…"
Led by Eris, everyone is surprised as they turn the faucets.
"Adjust it to a comfortable temperature for yourself. Once you've rinsed your body, rub the soap in front of you onto the towel you brought to make lather, and wash your body. Don't wash your hair."
"Oh? Aren't we supposed to wash our hair with soap?"
Milly asks me with her large breasts covered in lather.
"For hair, we use shampoo and conditioner. First, wash your body with soap. Once you've rinsed off the soap, the shampoo is this blue one, and the conditioner is the pink one. Shampoo first… Well, I'll demonstrate, so wait a moment."
Asurin, Firia, and Labiris are washing themselves.
But they're still children, so they often miss spots.
"Asurin, wash behind your ears properly, like this. Firia, make sure to wash the soles of your feet thoroughly. Labiris… your breasts are large, so it might be hard to see, but wash them properly…"
Am I making a sexually harassing remark to Labiris?
"Um, is this okay?"
"Yes~"
"...My breasts are heavy, help me support them. I don't have enough arms."
…This is legal. No, it's just helping, so there's no problem.
I have no choice but to lift the two melons with both hands, and while I do that, Labiris washes herself thoroughly.
What is this feeling? Even though it's a perk, I feel like I'm done for in many ways.
"Alright, rinse it off properly."
After seeing the three rinse themselves thoroughly, I look around.
"Big brother, we're okay over here too."
Ratz and the others seem to have waited a bit.
"Okay, first is the shampoo. Think of shampoo as soap for your hair. Use it to thoroughly remove dirt from your hair. After that, use the conditioner to care for your hair. You'll understand what 'care' means when you use it."
"...Understood. I'll try it."
As Kaya replies and starts washing her hair, everyone else follows suit.
"Asurin and the others probably aren't used to it, so I'll do it."
"Please."
"Thank you."
"...I'll ask you to."
Like that, I wash each of their hair one by one.
"Fuwah~, it feels good. It smells nice."
"It feels strange. But I'm happy."
"...My hair is so smooth… amazing."
Those were the three's impressions.
As for everyone else…
"Big brother!! This is amazing!! We should sell it!! It'll sell!!"
"Oh my, that's wonderful."
"...It's amazing, but I feel like I'm going to become useless."
Those were Ratz, Eris, and Milly's impressions.
As for the beastmen…
"Haaah, I can only say it's amazing."
"This is my first time experiencing something like this!!"
"...My hair is smooth… it feels good."
Tori, Riel, and Kaya also seem to be generally pleased.
But the main event is next!!
"Alright, the next event is the outdoor bath!! The temperature is usually quite high, so don't jump in."
As I say that, about three people stop moving. They were about to jump in.
"Water will splash, so jumping in is strictly forbidden. Get in slowly. Asurin and the others are short, so it's best to get in where the steps are."
"Understood. Let's go, both of you."
"Yeah!!"
"Wait."
They go there holding hands. I have to follow them.
While I'm doing that, those already in the outdoor bath start exclaiming.
"Kuaaa, what is this? My body is melting, big brother."
"No, it's not melting."
"But it's wonderful. Just by soaking in the hot water."
Everyone seems satisfied with the outdoor bath… but the finishing touch is elsewhere.
"Excuse me, could you watch these three for a moment?"
"Yes, that's fine, but where are you going?"
"It's the best part of an outdoor bath."
With that, I go to get some alcohol and juice.
"Ooh~, big brother, you're going to do something even more luxurious in this luxurious bath~. I've decided! I'm going to be your bride!! Even if I'm not the first wife, I'll be a concubine!!"
"Now, calm down. An outdoor bath is meant to be enjoyed with a tray of sake, while gazing at the scenery or the starry sky."
With that, I distribute sake on trays to everyone in the outdoor bath.
For Asurin and the others, it's juice, based on my own judgment.
"This… is it okay to do something like this?"
"For some reason, I feel at peace."
Eris and Milly are leisurely enjoying the sake and the starry sky.
"Even a warrior like me can have time like this…"
"I feel strange too. Not in a bad way, though."
"...It feels good."
Tori, Riel, and Kaya are also relaxing.
"Yuki-san, thank you…"
"I'm glad I was taken in by Yuki-san…"
"...I misunderstood Yuki. I'm sorry."
The three children are thanking me with tears streaming down their faces.
To be thanked for something like this and to be cried over…
…Is this not normal in this world? I have to do my best.
