v1c15 - Nina who's not good with cold water. She wants to wash herself, but there's no bath!
“Um, Ms. Nina. Why don’t you wash once before eating? You know, you are quite covered with dirt.”
“Oh …… um, do you actually have a bath in your cabin?”
“There is no bath, but I can get Mr. Alex to give me his magic power and produce water like a shower.”
“I-Is that warm water?”
“No, it’s cold water. But I don’t think it’s that cold yet.”
Nina raises her eyebrows at Lydia’s explanation.
Nina is fine with a bath, but doesn’t like a cold shower?
Does she not like the cold?
But I guess I’ll just have to ask her to put up with it, since we can only boil a tiny bit of water in the frying pan.
“Hmmm. Well, if Mister can hold Nina while I shower ……”
“Denied!”
“Nina didn’t tell Lydia, did she? I asked Mister to do it.”
“No!”
“…… Ah! That’s not it, okay? I don’t mean that in a weird way. Dwarves really don’t like the cold.”
For some reason, Lydia denied it, not me, but I wonder what Nina meant by weird.
If it is what I think it means, it would be bad for Lydia, but Nina looks like a child, so I don’t think it’s a problem.
“I heard that Nina really doesn’t like the cold, so what about Lydia hugging her?”
“Hmm. I would have preferred Mister, but at this point, Lydia is fine.”
“What!? …… Ugh, but rather than be hugged naked by Mr. Alex …… I-I’ll do it then.”
Reluctantly, we decided to take a shower, and as Lydia and I began to undress.
“Hmmm. I didn’t know that elven women are so slender, but you seem to have the curves where it matters.”
“W-Wait, Ms. Nina!?”
“Oh, amazing. It’s so soft.”
“M-Ms. Nina!? Where do you think you’re touching!”
I hear Lydia scream behind me.
But I can’t help her with this, so I’ll have to ask Lydia to do her best.
“I’m very nervous about being naked with Mister right behind me.”
“It’s okay. Mr. Alex won’t peek.”
“Yeah. Nina understands that. But …… Lydia might think it’s okay to peek at least a little.”
“M-Ms. Nina!?”
No, I won’t peek!
If Lydia hates me for that, I seriously won’t be able to live here.
…… Well, I had a rough first day.
“Um, are you ready now?”
“Oh, yes. I’m good.”
“I see. Without looking at each other, you naturally hold hands and …… Lydia turns backward like this.”
…… hmm? Lydia seems to be doing what she always does, but what is Nina doing? Should I not turn backward like Lydia?
I suddenly felt a presence and turned my head slightly to the right.
“Aah! Mister saw Nina naked!”
“No, instead of seeing you, you were in my point of view, but why are you there in the first place!?”
“Because you didn’t tell me to turn around or anything.”
“I mean, stop staring at my body!”
Nina was right beside me, looking at me in a normal way.
Lydia and I were able to work together without having to say a word, but I reminded myself that I needed to give Nina a proper explanation, so I went to the corner of the wall – to the washing area made of stone.
Lydia used her spirit magic to make water come out of the top of us like a shower.
“I-It’s cold …… Lydia help me!”
“W-Wait! Ms. Nina! Where are you touch- ……”
“I-It’s freezing!”
“T-That tickles. …… H-Hey, Ms. Nina! Stop! Any more and my control will ……”
I can hear their words coming from behind me.
Immediately after, a mass of water fell from above, as if a bucket of water had been overturned.
“Kyaaaah!”
“Crap…… you two get over here……”
“I-I’m sorry! My control is …… all right now!”
I hadn’t expected a situation like this, and I hadn’t used my defensive skills, so I took them to protect them and caught the water with my back, and a little later the falling water returned to being a shower.
