Seirei Gensouki's
Chapter 104: Ofuro's
It has been more than three months since Sumeragi Satsuki, a girl who lived her life in Japan was summoned to this world.
The only thing that mattered to her was the bath.[alt: The biggest source of dissatisfaction for such a girl was the bath. ]
Of course when it came to the royal palace there was a private bathroom but, it was just a shallow bathtub and there was not enough room to wash his body or his hair.
The purpose of a bathtub is to wash yourself and not soak in hot water, so there is no need to have a deep foundation. [ED: i. e bathtub made with shallow butt]
So for bathtubs like the ones in the castle, as inevitably they need to replace hot water every time it is used, the bathtub cannot be made bigger ―― or rather, it is, there is no need to make it big without the need.
Of course, since the maid who provided personal care for her while in the castle bathtub was in the same room, the room space itself was guaranteed, but the bathtub itself was made relatively compact.
By the way, royalty and titled nobles all have private bathtubs in the mansions where they live, but for ordinary families, large bathtubs are used only for washing their bodies and hair.
When it comes to Japanese people, they are used to lavish baths and using hot water in them, so it is not strange for them to feel irresistible because of the culture they grew up in.
In addition, when it comes to blooming 17-year-old girls who are at the peak of their lives, they are at the age where they love to shower the most.
Satsuki is also no exception to that and she likes to immerse herself in hot water for a long time.
In short, Satsuki was impatient.
To overcome his fatigue in the bathtub f
To immerse himself in warm warm warm water while stretching his limbs ――
This pleasant feeling would be something he would never forget.
However, he was not selfish to have a bathroom made in the royal palace, its construction would cost too much.
As a result, Satsuki grieved every time she entered the bathtub for these few months, and her daily life passed with feeling tired.
It might be difficult for Miharu and the others to understand, since they have been enjoying the pleasure of hot springs ever since they came to this world. [ED: I'm done letting Cnine translate -tachi as “and co”]
Although lately, they received a culture shock when they stayed at the inn of the capital.
Moreover, for the current Satsuki, something like a hot spring bath was a topic that she could not ignore.
If he does not get permission to enter the bathtub after going through each option negotiate with the owner of home――
But comfortable for him, just as he decided, Rio came to brew tea again.
This situation afflicts him really lucky.
Immediately, Satsuki half got up from the sofa and then quickly approached Rio.
「Nee, Haruto-kun's. You see, I have a request 」
Satsuki said while grinning.
Miharu and the others, who were watching him from the right side of the sofa, smiled wryly.
「Uhm, yes. What could be？ 」
Rio took one step back when he felt an unusual pressure from him.
He clutched an empty teapot in his hand.
"I would like………… . . You lend your bathtub a bathtub
Satsuki's asking with a tame expression.
Rio could feel his strong determination as if he was going to exterminate the demon lord.
「Y-Yes. Feel free to use it 」
Rio nodded despite being overwhelmed by her mysterious pressure. [ED: The pressure is "like a puzzle", it takes too long to pronounce the word correctly]
After which, Satsuki's expression brightened with "poof" as soon as she gave her permission.
Section 2
"Very? Is it really okay？ 」
「Yes, it's okay. Although you could have entered the bathtub of your own volition 」
Rio replied while giving her a dry smile.
Since she was together with Miharu and the others, who were the residents of this house, it was not like she cared even if she entered the bathtub at her own convenience.
But, it was Satsuki who rhythmically shook her head in denial.
"What are you talking about . Since I'm going to use the bathtub in someone else's house, it's just courtesy when I get permission from the homeowner, not isn't
And replying like that as if it was natural.
Rio smiled gently when he thought that he was really an honest person.
「Understood. In that case, since the bathtub is on the other side of the door there, feel free to go with Miharu and the girls 」
"Thank you God!"
After getting permission from Rio the owner of the house, Satsuki suddenly showed a pleased expression with a firm pose.
「Alright, let's go, Miharu-chan, Aki-chan」
Satsuki said that to Aki and Miharu while turning around.
「Since the bathroom only has room for two people, please continue with Miharu-oneechan, Satsuki-san. Although it has been a long time, I will enter after calling Cecilia-san 」
Aki replied to Satsuki.
There was more than enough space in the bathtub for all the girls, who were currently in this house, to enter at that moment, but the number of magic tools to wash their bodies was limited.
Originally, Rio made this house with the premise of staying alone for now, but it has been slightly delayed.
「Thank you, Aki-chan. Alright, then we go, Satsuki-san 」
Miharu nodded at Aki and decided to take Satsuki first.
"Use your time"
Rio told behind his back while smiling sweetly at her and thinking about how everything was decided without a hitch.
☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★
「…………. Very Wide 」
Satsuki muttered as she entered the bathtub.
Although he almost yelled 「ARE SOME KIND OF LUXURY HOTEL!」 when he saw noren* placed as the bathroom entrance, it was already a trivial matter .. [ED: Curtains with their one word]
And, because the utopia he could only dream of lay before his eyes, he simply ignored all kinds of trivial behavior.
That's how beautiful the bathtub is in this house.
The most interesting point is the fact that there are two options here, one is a stone bath and the other spruce bath.
Different from the everyday type of bathtub, the wall consisting of bare stones actually made him feel like he was getting into a hot spring inside the cave.
Hot water ran out of the tap, and spilled in the bathtub.
The absolutely beautiful steam coming out of the bath slightly blocked his vision.
Section 3
「As if we came to a hot spring, not isn't
Miharu said while smiling happily.
"…………… Yes . It's incredible 」
Satsuki's replying with a slightly confused air.
"Continent . I will explain how to use the bathtub 」
"G . Uhn, please 」
Following Miharu's directions, she first came to the bathroom.
A mirror is embedded in the wall of the wash, various bathroom appliances are placed under the mirror. [ED: On the pedestal?]
The two then sat in a chair in front of the pedestal.
「Please touch this crystal to make hot water out. Hot water will come out according to how long you touch the crystal for though, hot water will keep coming out for about 10 seconds just by touching it lightly 」
As she said so, Miharu touched the crystal that was stuck on the pedestal and then, while the geometric pattern engraved on the mirror spilled light, hot water came out like from a shower above her.
It was natural to think that there would be an expenditure of magical power to accommodate the continuous production of hot water, even though its efficiency was being improved by spirit stones being incorporated into the core of the house.
The other magic tools in this house also received help from that spirit stone.
「Dia ~, how interesting」
When Satsuki also tried to touch the pedestal, hot water started flowing from the shower above.
「Precise temperature, no. However, if only I could get this kind of comfort in the castle..
Satsuki muttered in an envious tone.
「Very easy, no. I also learned magic from Haruto-san but, it's still something that I can't understand completely ……. . 」
「Dia ~, so you also learned something like that」
Satsuki let out her admiration.
"Yes nih . Language, magic, martial arts, and various other things 」
「So that's how it is. Say, isn't he flexible enough in many areas？ 」
"I think so . She is an expert in cooking as well, all the soap here is also made by Haruto-san 」
Miharu said that while looking at the kinds of soap lined up on the pedestal.
「I wonder. …………. He's really versatile in a lot of areas, isn't he?
「He's amazing, right？ The quality is better than the treatment and shampoo made in Japan」 [TL: Honestly I have nothing to say about this, this is the first time Japan has been defeated by another world] [ED: It seemed like they were just glorifying Rio at this moment]
"Very? I look forward to it then. Because the soap I have used in the castle is not good for my skin 」
Section 4
Satsuki grieved lightly as she said so.
The type of soap he used was of a lower quality compared to those made in Japan and could not be considered a luxury item.
Normally one would think that commoners using better quality soap than those used by royalty was nonsense, but Satsuki's common sense had been reversed many times after coming to this house.
After hearing the fact that there was ofuro here, Satsuki's expectations continued to rise.
Afterwards, Miharu explained the variation of the soap, while washing her body.
「In hindsight, this is the first time for me and Miharu-chan to enter ofuro with just the two of us, kan」
While washing his body with bubble soap, Satsuki then spoke to him in a carefree tone.
"Religion . Unbelievable, like a miracle. We shower together like this in another world 」
「Ri ~ ght. Fufu, how beautiful 」
After smiling happily, Satsuki glanced at Miharu's naked body. [ED: Author-chan, why …. If this is adapted into an anime we will never get a shower episode because chapter 97 is too late into the novel.]
「Uhn」
He nodded immediately after observing her.
Naturally, Miharu noticed where she was looking.
「Fu ~ hn」
Satsuki's grinning.
「UU ~ hm, what is it?」
Miharu hid her body with both hands as if feeling embarrassed.
「Tell me, Miharu-chan, you have a nice curve there, don't you. Your skin is also smooth and smooth 」
And, a shocking comment came from Satsuki.
「EH-EEEEEEEEEHH?」
Miharu's face turned as crimson as a peach.
He was embarrassed and his body was writhing restlessly.
「The graceful reaction along with such innocence is truly a childish reaction, right, Miharu-chan」
Satsuki nodded with "uhn-uhn" as if very touched.
And after that with,
「EY!」
He quickly swirled around to Miharu's back and then squeezed his glared. [TB: Drooool]
「KYAAAAA！ Sa-Satsuki-san?」
Miharu's twisting her body because of Satsuki's persecution.
「I-It's ticklish！ Please stop!」
Section 5
By moving his own body, he fell further and further into the tickling hell [2].
「I mean, it's because Miharu-chan is squirming around」
「A-That's because Satsuki-san touched me in strange places!」
「Hee ~, it's okay, isn't it. After all, there was no one else in this place
Satsuki's hand movements became more lively.
「T-Please don't massage!」
Miharu said that with a red face.
「O ~ K」
Satsuki's hand stopped moving just as she said that.
But, those hands were still in Miharu.
「U …………. Uhm, that ............................... 」.... <TAG1>....
Miharu's moving her neck and sending a repeated glance at her back.
"What's the problem?"
Satsuki's foam-covered hand moved with a twitch.
「Hyauu ~. T-Hand ............... and the foam is ………. 」
Miharu muttered and moved as her body trembled
「How about my hand ............. And froth?」
Satsuki asked while smiling dazzlingly.
「I-It feels ..................... Amused. Please let me go 」
Miharu's begging him with a trembling body while breathing short.
「A ~ h, jeez！ Miharu-chan is too cute!」
Satsuki firmly hugged Miharu.
「S-Satsuki-san …………. . 」
Miharu awkwardly muttered that her body stiffened.
But, Satsuki pretended not to see it.
"Listen to me"
And muttered that close to Miharu's ears.
「Y-Yes?」
Miharu fearfully answered him.
「Do you want to make me angry too, Miharu-chan?」
「A-I CAN'T!」
Miharu unintentionally shouted out loudly.
「Ahahaha, it's a joke, I'm kidding, you know. A ~ h, it's funny 」
Section 6
Satsuki's replying as if the previous event wasn't her fault and easily separated her hand from Miharu.
On his face was a truly refreshing smile coming from the bottom of his heart.
「Mu ~, ........................ sometimes you say some nasty things, not」
Saying so, Miharu looked at Satsuki with scornful eyes.
「That's because I'm happy to finally be able to meet Miharu-chan after such a long time. So it's inevitable that I accidentally want physical contact 」[ED: I don't think" Skinship "actually means something special so I turn it into physical contact, ' he said, You know what he means by" physical contact "”]
「U ~ h ……………. 」
Miharu became a little embarrassed because of that.
And then quickly lowered his face to avoid Satsuki's gaze.
The silence continued for a few seconds after that.
「………. Thank you . Miharu-chan 」
Satsuki muttered those words in a low voice.
「……………. . EH, What for？ 」
Miharu asked while peeking while glancing at Satsuki.
「U ~ hn. Since Miharu-chan is still Miharu-chan, I hope？ 」
「E ~ h ……………. Yes" yes"
Miharu lowered her head again.
Even though he didn't quite understand, saying something like that face to face at a time like this was too cunning.
Miharu thinks so.
「Alright, will we enter the long-awaited ofuro!」
Incidentally, after they washed their bodies, they finally decided to immerse themselves in the bathtub.
The first thing they chose was a stone bath.
「Kuaaaa .....................」.
Satsuki forgot how embarrassed some girls were and a squirming voice came out from her lips.
「This is what we usually do. You can't say that you entered ofuro unless you completely immersed yourself in the Bathtub 」
Satsuki let out a relieved voice while lightly stretching out her limbs.
「Fufu, it's true」
Miharu nodded while showing a sweet smile.
After that, during that time, the bathroom door let out a loud noise as the door opened.
Section 7
「Ara, only you Aki-chan …………. . And Cecilia-chan？ 」
Aki and Celia entered the bathroom together, probably because they chose to take a bath after Miharu and Satsuki herself had already finished washing.
「A really cute girl, isn't she, Cecilia-chan. Is he an acquaintance of Haruto-kun or something？？
Satsuki said that with a pleased expression while looking at Celia's naked body.
White colored hair was similar to snow, smooth and soft skin, her body which exuded a girl charm despite her petite figure like a work of art, she was very beautiful,
"Yes nih . Correct . But, other than her appearance, she is older than the rest of us 」
Miharu said that to Satsuki as she guessed that Satsuki made a mistake while trying to guess Celia's age.
「EH, are you lying？ I'm sure she's just a little older than Aki-chan」
Sure enough, Satsuki's eyes that were staring at Celia turned around like a plate.
「Ri ~ ght. First we heard that we were also surprised 」
Miharu nodded in agreement while laughing with "fufufu".
「So that's how it is. Dia ~ ............. I saw …………………. 」
As she muttered that, Satsuki looked at Celia as if she was thinking of something and,
「……………. Hey, what kind of person is Haruto-kun?？ I missed the opportunity to ask him about his identity due to various events but, when I think about it, it seems that he is not a noble of Galwark kingdom. On the other hand, that doesn't mean that he's from another country either, right？ 」[ED: Note to yourself, Cnine has some pretty weird translations …. Japanese is ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ which litteraly means "belonging to another country" but translates it as it is very clumsy] [TL: I Can heaar you ~]
He suddenly asked about Rio's identity.
Miharu blinked in surprise at his question.
「Uhm, I also thought like that but, I'm sorry. The truth is, aside from the fact that he travels to various places, we know almost nothing about him.
Miharu replied while bowing her head to apologize.
Miharu and the others are forbidden from telling about Rio's identity to any third party.
And also because of this rule, Miharu or the others risk to try and investigate too deeply about Rio.
But, among the facts known by Miharu and the others are things like the fact that Rio used an alias and the fact that he was Japanese in his previous life, which he says is not safe to disclose.
After hesitatingly considering how much is safe to disclose without saying false information, Miharu decided to protect Rio's secret.
「Dia ~, so there」
Satsuki narrowed her eyes as if completely interested in hearing that while letting out a small groan.
And then showed a serious expression on his face again.
「Then, besides, even though I am still curious about her origin, why do you think she is so kind to the three of you?」
"Why?"
Section 8
Miharu answered Satsuki with her own question.
「I mean, he keeps protecting the three of you for free without any reward, right? Even Dan even went as far as us to have a reunion like this. These kinds of things are not easy to do on strangers 」
Satsuki expressed her opinion.
Miharu nodded deeply as she understood what she meant.
「That's right. Haruto-san, too good …………. . 」
Miharu's showing an apologetic expression as she says it.
「Fu ~ hn」
Satsuki's sending a quick glance at Miharu's body, and then,
「In case, I just asked to be sure but, he did not ask you to do something strange, is he?」
He asked that question with a slightly serious face.
「To do something weird?」
Miharu tilted her head with a curious expression.
「Hey, it's about THAT you know .......... Uhm ………………. Like demanding your body？ 」
Satsuki said that with a slightly flushed face.
「KA ……………. . 」
After that, just like that, Miharu's entire face flushed red.
「H-HARUTO-SAN IS NOT THE KIND OF PERSON!」
Miharu said that while lifting up from the bathtub.
Satsuki's staring at Miharu's face as if slightly dumbfounded by her reaction.
「Fufu, I can guess his personality considering your reaction just now. As I thought, I don't seem to have mistakenly believed that he's not a bad person. You'll be seen by Aki-chan and Cecilia-san if you don't quickly immerse yourself again, you know？ 」
Satsuki said that while laughing.
「Ah, yes」
Miharu bowed to Aki and Celia and then quickly immersed herself in the bathtub again.
「Are, Aisia-san?」
Around the same time, the bathroom door was opened again, this time Aisia who entered the bathroom alone.
He quickly moved into the bathroom towards the wash and then he sat on an open bench by Celia's side. [ED: Which part is the bathroom and which part is the actual bathroom …. I mean, who cares, it's all just for fan service ..]
In the next moment, water appeared above him out of nowhere, and then he rinsed his entire body with a reddening sound.
Section 9
「Eh, what is hot water out of empty space, but ……………. . Did he use some kind of magic？ 」
Satsuki who saw the scene asked with round eyes due to her shock.
「Ah, ahahaha ……. After all Ai-chan is a bit special ......
Miharu smiled wryly and gave a vague answer.
「I always feel anxious about this matter but, that girl, Aisia, isn't she too pretty？ How can I say, she's a charming woman, or rather it's even blurring the boundaries of gender, as if she's different dimensions………"
Satsuki looked at Aisia attentively as if being sucked in by her.
「Of course. Ai-chan gives off a little feeling as a heavenly being, doesn't she? Or rather, no human being can rival her beauty. Sorry"
「Uhn. Somehow I understand how you feel. She's beautiful like a work of art, right. Cecilia-chan is also cute like a doll but, in the case of Aisia-san, she is too clone as if to actually be a doll 」
Satsuki spoke while lightly waving her head.
Perhaps because she felt Satsuki looking at her, Aisia sent a fleeting glance at Satsuki, she washed her body again when she lost interest in Satsuki after just one glance.
Miharu saw that situation.
（Yup, come to think of it, Ai-chan is a spirit, right? He ate, and did not feel uncomfortable after entering ofuro）
And thought so deeply in his heart.
Although the spirit doesn't seem to need to bathe or eat, it is Aisia herself who demands to live like a human similar to Miharu.
Even though he was used to it now and did not feel it was strange, thinking about it a second time made it actually quite interesting.
「Say, don't you think that there seems to be only beautiful girls around」
Satsuki suddenly said those words after sighing.
Miharu suddenly regained her senses.
「True, right. Because Ai-chan and Cecilia-san are so beautiful. Aki-chan is also pretty 」
He reflexively approves of Satsuki.
「Yes. Besides, Miharu-chan is also pretty, right 」
Satsuki added that while smiling widely.
At that moment, Miharu's head was emptied,
「EH-EEEEEEEEEEEHH？ That's not true. I'm not pretty at all！ 」
Section 10
He loudly shook his head as he understood the meaning of those words.
"What are you talking about . Say, aren't you quite popular in high school 」
「A-I'm not that popular. Me, is a regular girl 」
Miharu's increasing speed shook her head in denial as if saying it was impossible.
Satsuki's sending out a slight surprised expression to him that doesn't pay attention to her alone.
「Good value, cute, and kind girl. In addition, your dishes at the Cooking Club are very delicious, it would be strange if you are not popular. The truth is, even the male students in my class say that Miharu-chan is cute. You are known as "Suitable for family-oriented wives" 」
Satsuki talked about the romantic situation around Miharu during high school.
「I-That's a lie, right. This is the first time I heard about it 」
Miharu said that with an anxious tone.
But, as if finishing off a rooted enemy, Satsuki said,
「Say, you were a member of the Health Committee during your first year, right. It seems like there are a lot of male students receiving your medical treatment. I won't name them but, there are some male students in my class who have fallen in love with you 」
Added a more complete explanation.
「…………. Uhm, what is it, right？ 」
Miharu asked timidly as if the information had come as a surprise to him.
「That's true but, could it be that you're not happy at all about that?」
Satsuki asked Miharu who only showed a confused expression without showing any signs of embarrassment.
"Ah no……………… . That does not mean that I am unhappy ……. . 」
Miharu spoke in an apologetic tone while bowing her head.
「Arara, it seems like it really is hopeless for them. Well, maybe that's natural. You already have someone on your mind, don't you?
Satsuki's sending a curious look while asking that.
「Eh ………? 」
Miharu, with a big question mark plastered on her face, looked back at Satsuki's face.
Satsuki strangely had an expression filled with confidence.
「Eh ……………. U-Uhm ............................ 」....
Miharu muttered in a voice that almost disappeared.
Could he have known？
Hows it?
Although questions kept popping up one after another in his head, putting that aside, he was filled with shame.
Miharu's cheeks flushed red in the next moment.
Section 11
「As I thought, that reaction is your answer right」
「Eh, AH, A-Did you already know about that？ Hows it？ Although I never said that to anyone ……………. 」
「That's natural. It's natural to know when I see your reaction 」
Satsuki let out a naughty laugh.
「Eh ………? ……………. . UH"
Miharu then noticed that she was tricked.
「You just tricked me, right, Satsuki-san?」
Miharu puffed her cheeks with a poof.
「Sorry. But, it's not like I cheated you. We've known each other since high school 」
Satsuki confirmed her laughter as if she felt it was funny.
「…………」
When she said so, Miharu felt uneasy about whether she was really easy to read.
But, for the sake of not giving away too much information by saying too many things, he lowered his reddish-red head.
「It's really annoying to think about what happened in the past, but I think all of us are fine to see it now. Or rather, we were already familiar before I saw anything？ 」[ED: Now I'm not sure if it's translated correctly:「 、 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇
と い う よ り も 私 が が 知 ら な い に 付 付 き き 合 っ っ て り り り り す す 」」]
「……？」
Miharu tilted her head to the side as she was unable to understand the meaning behind Satsuki's words. [ED: Don't worry, you're not the only one and you should've seen how they were before editing]
But, after guessing correctly that there was someone she loved, Miharu had no more composure to think about it anymore.
「Hey, what's up？ Miharu-chan?」
Satsuki asked that while approaching her.
「A-I don't know anymore, hump!」
Miharu suddenly turned her face while stroking her cheek as she said that.
Who knows, maybe Satsuki's trying to trick her again？
If that was the case, he could no longer make a mistake.
He judged so in an instant.
「Yeah, please don't get mad. Miharu-chan 」
Although Miharu's reaction was very funny and caused chaos for Satsuki's inner sadness, she suppressed that feeling and decided to curry favor with Miharu.
He could still ask about his junior love life at a later time.
Because he just wanted a skinship with his friend that he ended up meeting in this world.
After Satsuki got Miharu's happiness, they decided to stay immersed in the bathtub until Aki and the others came.
