When I returned to the east resting area, Nora hugged me and Neve glanced at me as if she was expecting something.
Oh, I had Kasumi take my clones here yesterday, but I guess the clones went to the bath first.
I guess they didn’t want Nora to find out because they knows I try not to do that kind of thing around her, and Neve, on the other hand, wasn’t able to do it at the bath.
After that, Fiine put everyone to sleep, so it’s the two people who couldn’t touch my clones last night.
For starters, when I mentioned that I was going to take a bath with Nora, Yudit, and Ellie raised their hands to join me.
Incidentally, when we got to the east resting area, I decided that I couldn’t go on like this, so I deactivated my clone technique and let Kasumi and Lydia walk on their own.
“U-Um. I’d like to go in with everyone else, so may I join in with you?”
“What!? Tina!?”
“I-I can’t?”
“It’s not that you can’t, but ……”
I mean, she cannot? As I recall, Tina said she was thirteen, right?
Or rather, in the first place, why did she start asking to take a bath with us when I’m also going?
I wondered what we should do and looked at Ellie…
“W-Wait a minute! Ms. Tina …… No. Then I’ll come in with you.”
“You too, Stella!?”
This time, Stella comes forward.
But she quickly came up to me…
“Mr. Alex. Tina-san is a minor. You can’t touch her like you did with Ms. Fiine, okay? I’ll go in with you, but only to protect Ms. Tina, okay?”
She whispered in my ear.
Well, it’s not as much as Ellie, but we’ve been in the same party and spent a good number of years with Stella, and I thought she knew I wasn’t the kind of guy who would do something like that …… No, there was no way she would think that under the circumstances.
I decided to go into the bath with the first half of the group…
“M-Ms. Tina! Y-You’re a girl, so you should cover up a lot of things!”
“What? But everyone feels liberated, and I thought I would follow their example.”
“No, you can’t. Oh, Ms. Tina! It’s dangerous to run in the …… Kyah!”
While Tina was innocently excited, Stella, who was trying to stop her, fell down in a spectacular way.
“Stella, are you all right?”
“Yes. Thank you …… M-Mr. Alex, please hide it too!”
“Hm? Oh …… sorry. I forgot.”
“You forgot, you say …… You shouldn’t, though …… Also, the size is wrong …… Kohon. It’s nothing.”
Only recently have we been able to obtain cloth from the Lizardmen’s villages, but when I first came to the demon territory, there was no such thing, and I was always naked in the bathtub.
I was careless.
Then, just like in the first half of the group, I was being played with by Nora and Nina, while Ellie and Yudit were chatting peacefully, and Stella was with them, hiding behind Ellie.
Tina is also with Ellie and the others, but …… she keeps glancing at me a lot.
Is it that? She wants to play with Nora and Nina because they look like they’re having fun?
Even though she’s a guild employee, she’s still very young and close in age to these two, so maybe she wants to stretch her wings at least after work.
“Nora. I think Tina might want to play with you.”
“Okay! I’ll go get her then!”
“No, I didn’t mean that, Nora should go to Tina …… No, that’s not it! That’s not what I meant ……”
Nora went to call Tina, and Tina happily came to her, but Stella, with cold eyes, followed behind her.
“Mr. Alex …….”
“Wait. You’re wrong! I think I didn’t say it well enough, or maybe I gave Nora the wrong idea …… Let’s just calm down for now.”
Unexpectedly, I stood up to back away…
“Wow! So this is a man’s …… Heh.”
“Ms. Tina. You should forget what you just saw, okay?”
“Hmm? Are you two looking at …… this thing on brother? Speaking of which, brother. What is this?”
Tina saw it and Nora started to touch it innocently …… So the first half of the group’s bath time abruptly ended.
