Chapter 23: CH 23

“Na-Nacht-sama…Do I…really need, to…take it off…?”

“Yes, you must. Because it was the etiquette.”

“The-then, I will excuse myself first–”

Aisha was about to run off, but Nacht quickly seize her.

No matter how much Aisha struggle, Nacht did not let her go.

Their differences in strength and ability truly appear there.

“Please, don’t say something so boorish. To deepen our bond, naked skinship was certainly needed.”

In the bathroom filled with steam, Nacht standing stark naked.

Was it good luck or bad luck, due to the steam although Aisha could see Nacht’s fair skin, all her important parts were covered?

“Ha!”

Without much further ado, Nacht’s skillful fingers quickly stole Aisha’s last defense–the white towel she used to hide.

Looking at Aisha who also become naked in front of her, Nacht blushed a little due to embarrassment.

Nacht thought of Aisha as a child, but there were some parts of her that has womanly allure.

Although they were now of the same sex, Nacht still felt a little guilty to look at her straight. That must the part of Tooru that still remained inside her.

She averted her gaze and entered the bath once again, but when she saw her own reflection in the water, the remaining memory of Tooru made her face redder.

“Come in, Aisha–it’s really good–”

The feeling of being submerged in the bath was somewhat nostalgic.

Taking a hot bath was a custom from the eastern region, and was adopted by this inn.

The cypress bath uses water magic stone and heat insulation magic without reserve and brings scent close to a Japanese one. To use this bath they need to pay more money than needed to stay the night, but Nacht was quite satisfied.

Although it did not reach the size of a hot spring bath, it was wide enough to accommodate five or six people. After knowing the existence of this bath, Nacht quickly used all the ‘thought to be useless’ money that she got to reserve it. It was to let her enjoy the bath with Aisha without anyone disturbing her. She even felt slightly impressed by how bold her own action was.

Most likely it was the memories of game Nacht. Nacht’s guild home was also equipped with a hot spring, and since various buff could be gained by soaking on them, she often entered with her guildmates. Of course, since it was a woman bath, there were various light beams and unusually thick mist all around. But perhaps because of that Nacht could stay calm in front of Aisha now.

Aisha dip her legs fearfully at first but quickly sat down with a surprised expression.

“Fuaaahh…Hmmm….it feels so good, the warm bath….maybe this is the first time I felt this way….”

Soaking in a hot bath was a weird custom for people in this world since it was kind of different from the common bathing method using cold water or simply wiping the body with hot water.

Although soaking in a hot bath is also meant to clean the body, it relaxed the muscle and heal them and could also calm the mind. That was a fact that should be obvious to the Japanese.

There were too many changes on Aisha these few days.

She was almost died, become Nacht’s servant, met a dragon, exterminated bandits, met people that she might never meet normally in her life, and even become close with them. Of course, she would become exhausted.

Let her soak in the bath to ease her mind was a form of consideration from Nacht.

“After meeting with Nacht-sama, I have experienced many things for the first times–Aisha was really happy–”

Looking at the smiling Aisha, Nacht patted her head skillfully.

“<>”

“Nacht-sama?”

Aisha tilted her head.

“It was my comrade’s favorite phrase. I believe, it was only because the world you see was small, that’s all. Just with some trigger, many changes, and you know many new things right? I looked forward to how you would see the vast world.”

Just like how she was fumbling around pursuing the unknown in the game world.

This would become the objective of this journey.

“I am blessed. Surely, the villagers–no, many people could only see the small world until the end of their life–”

Aisha muttered as she returned the warm water back to the bath.

“Haha, that might not be so. Of course, I won’t say something idealistic like ‘everyone…’ but people who live normally actually have those chances. Aisha leaving the village before meeting me was a small trigger, leaving the village to become a bandit also a trigger. The triggers were all over the place and especially close to those who were in misfortune. However, the one who choose it, in the end, was the person themselves. It might be wrong to feel sympathy since they might not even need it, and saying that you are pitying them would also be wrong since it might be their happiness.”

It was too difficult, maybe?

Nacht smiled looking at Aisha who thought hard about it.

“I think, I get it–perhaps, maybe…”

Aisha looked unconfident, but Nacht said it was okay and nodded. It was not really Nacht’s desire to force her thoughts on Aisha, it was only to let her know that there were different viewpoints.

“A small field of vision birth discrimination. Birth hatred. Birth misunderstanding. But that was just what a human being is. That’s why conflict will never disappear.”

The persecution Aisha received in the village has become something commonplace that even she herself felt was natural and did not even doubt it.

Aisha grows slower and more stupid than normal people.

Aisha’s ear was pointed, different from others.

Aisha has an unbalanced diet, that’s why she could not eat food that everyone else loved.

That’s why she was weird.

None doubt them.

What’s normal?

None ever asked that question.

That’s why none felt doubt.

Nacht did not want Aisha to grow into something like that.

Nacht was almost saying her ego out loud, but she stopped.

Nacht know, although Aisha might think slowly, she was unexpectedly thoughtful. That’s why the one who will draw a conclusion, was Aisha herself.

“It was really sad…”

“That’s right–”

Hearing Nacht’s answer, Aisha turned back in fluster and try to say with a smile.

“Bu-but, I met Nacht-sama. That’s why it was fine! I received a lot of happiness and was able to see and think about many things. That’s why it’s fine! Nacht-sama does not need to worry! –I must repay your kindness someday. But, I don’t know anything I could do for Nacht-sama.”

Aisha laughed but also showed a slightly dispirited expression.

“I am already content with your words–but, if Aisha wished to repay me, please stay with me. Just as long as you wanted to, that would be the best repayment I could hope for.”

Hearing those words, Aisha smiled childishly and true from her heart and then said cheekily.

“I won’t leave you even if you started to regret it.”

Nacht answered with a provocative laugh.

“You said it, now even if you try to leave me, I won’t let you~”

Nacht hugged Aisha closely and then the two of them laughed.

Only their happy laugh could be heard in the steam-filled room.

When Nacht thought it was about time they come out from the bath, a voice could be heard from the door.

“Nacht-dono. This is me–Please forgive my rudeness for visiting during bath time. I have something to ask, could I bother you to make a trip to the guild?”

It was Crysta’s.

She must be really in a panic since her flat tone was tinged with impatience.

Nacht stretch her body–

“Let’s go, Aisha.”

And then said that.
