Cyclo took Mist to Deimos’ mansion first.

This is because she looked too shabbily. He was going to borrow the mansion’s facilities, wash and clean Mist first, and then take her back to town.

“Hey, Deimos! Lend me a bath!”

Cyclo shouted loudly as he stood in front of the mansion’s gate.

“…… Mr. Cyclo. If that’s what your request, we’ll take care of it.”

The gatekeeper, who had been ignored, spoke to Cyclo with a half-hearted dismay.

“Oh, really? I thought it would be quicker if Deimos was directly informed.”

“Where can you find a person who calls the feudal lord directly from the gate?”

“I’m right here, though.”

The gatekeeper was completely taken aback by Cyclo’s remarks.

But in the meantime, Cyclo’s plan succeeded.

“–Mr. Cyclo! I see you came again!”

It was not Deimos but Cruz who heard Cyclo’s voice and came running.

Cruz came running with a twinkle in his eye, just like a faithful dog. Cyclo saw ears on Cruz’s head and tail on his buttocks.

“Cruz. I’m sorry, but I need to borrow your bath.”

“A bath?”

“Yeah. I bought a slave as a party member, but she didn’t seem to be treated well.”

Cyclo said, pointing to Mist that was hiding behind his back.

“Mr. Cyclo’s party member! Then you are welcome to use our bath!”

“Thanks.”

So, thanks to Cruz’s love of adventurers, or rather his love of Cyclo, permission to use the baths in the mansion was easily granted.

Following Cruz’s lead, Cyclo and Mist arrived at a large bathhouse.

“We will have a change of clothes and other things prepared for you. So you two, please go ahead and wash yourselves.”

“Yeah. Thank you, Cruz.”

“No, you don’t have to be! I am honored to be of service to Mr. Cyclo!”

Cruz said with a pure smile on his face.

Then Cruz also walked away, and it was time to take a bath.

“Come on, Mist. Let’s take a bath.”

“…… U-Um… Master.”

“Hmm? What is it? You can say anything you want.”

Cyclo says, consciously trying to sound as gentle as possible.

Then Mist opens her mouth shyly.

“…… Uhm, is Master also going in?”

“Yeah. Mist doesn’t have much strength, right? It’s a little dangerous to take such a big bath alone in such a condition. I’ll wash you.”

“I, I see.”

Mist looks down, perhaps embarrassed at the thought of being washed.

Cyclo sees this and teasingly says something to relieve the tension.

“You don’t have to be so shy, Mist. I don’t have any guilty feelings. And Mist is a child, right? It’s not strange to take a bath with his guardian.”

“……Eh, um…”

Mist asks, puzzled by Cyclo’s words.

“How old …… does Master think I am?”

“Hm? Ten years old or a little older?”

“…… I’m not.”

Mist puffed out her cheeks and looked a little angry.

“I’m 17.”

Cyclo’s eyes go wide at that.

“…… Huh?”

“Like I said, I am 17 …… I have a skill, so I can’t be younger than 16.”

Cyclo finally realizes what’s going on. Since Mist has the job skill of “Wicked Believer”, she should be older than 16 years old.

But — from Cyclo’s point of view, Mist was too small and skinny to be 17 years old. 

At best, she was 12 years old. Considering her size, she looks about the same as Cyclo’s little sister, Alice, when she was about 10 years old.

“…… I-Is that so. If you’re only one year older than me …… No, I’m sorry.”

“…… No.”

A strange silence fell between the two of them.

However, there was nothing he could do by remaining silent, so Cyclo started talking.

“……Ah, I’m sorry. I’m sorry about your age. But it’s true that it’s dangerous to take a bath alone. I know it might be embarrassing, but bear with me.”

Cyclo says, facing Mist firmly.

“I have no guilty conscience, and I won’t do anything like that. I promise.”

Mist was surprised to hear Cyclo’s words, and asked.

“…… How about using an order?”

“Oh, I see.”

At these words, Cyclo says as if he finally realizes.

“But I’m not going to use orders for that. I want Mist to be as free as possible.”

Seeing Cyclo smiling like that, Mist’s nerves are a little less tense again.

“–Yes. Thank you.”

With a slightly happy expression on his face, Mist said a few words of thanks.
