While I was waiting while leisurely reading a book, Illness-san came to tell me that the Relaxation Room was ready. Following Illness-san down the hallway, we headed for the bathroom.
I did hear that the hidden door was in the changing roomā¦ā¦ but I wonder where that hidden room is? With the size of my home, the dressing room is also considerably large, and there are quite a few spots that look suspicious.
[Kaito-samaaaa, I have here prepared a list that summarizes the things that can be done in the Relaxation Rooooom, and if you want, please check it ouuuuut.]
[Thank you, this really helps.]
When I looked at the memo prepared by Illness-san, I found that in addition to the sauna, bedrock bath and jacuzzi, there were also massage and aroma baths available.
How should I say thisā¦ā¦ It kinda has this beauty salon image to it, or rather, I guess it may feel more like this place has that hotel aesthetic to it. I mean, this massage hereā¦ā¦ Did Alice set up a massage chair-like magic tool? That sounds nice, after relaxing your body in the massage chair, sweat in the bedrock bath, before finally soaking in the jacuzziā¦ā¦That sounds relaxing.
[Illness-san, can that massage be available shortly?]
[Yeeees. Thereās no problem with iiiiiit.]
[Then, Iād like to get that massage first then go for the bedrock bath then. Well, Iām new to bedrock baths, so I donāt know much about themā¦ā¦]
[I will guide you around iiiiiit, so please donāt worryyyy.]
I was relieved to hear that Illness-san would teach me about the bedrock bath. I heard that theyāre very comfortable, so I have been interested in bedrock baths, but I never had the chance to go to one.
I never thought Iād be having such a bath in my own home thoughā¦ā¦ If it really feels good, Iāll do it regularly in the future.
Having such thoughts in mind, we arrived at the changing roomā¦ā¦ Now then, where is the hidden door? Would it be the standard behind-the-large-mirror hidden room? Or perhaps, the mirror itself is the doorā¦ā¦
[Regarding the entrance to the hidden rooooom, this central pillar over heeeeere is designed so that itās able to slide to the siiiiide, and hidden inside it is a magic crystaaaaaal. If you access this magic crystaaaaalā¦ā¦ The inhabitants of this house will perceive iiiiiit.]
[O- Ohhh, the wall slides downā¦ā¦ and a staircaseā¦ā¦]
[This is the entrance to the Relaxation Rooooom. When the hidden door is openeeeeed, Illumination Magic Tool will automatically turn oooooon. After enteriiiiing, touch the magic crystal on the wall over heeeeere to close the entraaaaance.]
[T- Thatās an amazing mechanism.]
Thatās a really large-scale mechanism. The staircase is also quite wide and solid, and it feels like this place is built quite thoroughly.
Rather, itās so much so that I wonder why she even hid this placeā¦ā¦ Well, since itās Alice weāre talking about here, sheād probably say something like thatās obviously romance.W- Well, I canāt really deny that hidden doors like that are quite cool. Itās inconvenient for when you wanna use this place everyday butā¦ā¦
[Well theeeen, this way pleeeeease.]
[Ah, yes. Should I just change my clothes here?]
[We have another room insiiiiide where you can change your cloooothes.]
[I seeā¦ā¦]
As Illness-san guides me down the stairsā¦ā¦ we arrived at a very wide space. There are several rooms around, and it really feels like Iāve come to a high-end beauty salon.
Hmmm, Alice probably used Spatial Magic on this place. I feel like this is too spacious to be a room hidden underneath the house.
[Kaito-samaaaaa. Since you also wanted to take a bedrock bath this tiiiiime, we have special clothes prepared for iiiiit, so please change into theeeesee.]
[I understand.]
[The room on the right is for changiiiiing.]
[Alright. Then, Iāll go change quickly.]
What Illness-san handed to me was a jinbei-like outfit. Indeed, going for bedrock bathing, I certainly feel like youād wear loose-fitting clothes for it.
After quickly changing clothes in the room for changingā¦ā¦ A rather spacious changing room at thatā¦ā¦ I returned back and found that Illness-sanās clothes had changed. She isnāt wearing her usual maid outfit, being a casual outfit with about three-quarter length pants and a short-sleeved jacket.
Her hair was also tied behind her head in a short ponytail. It looks pretty refreshing, and she looks cute in itā¦ā¦ I also like this casual look of hers.
[Arehh? Youāve also changed clothes, Illness-san?]
[Yeeees. I thought that if I kept my maid clothing oooon, it might be a slight hindraaaance.]
[Unnn?]
[Well theeeen, massage is this waaaay.]
That exchange we had just now felt kinda strange, but dropping that matter aside, I followed Illness-san. Were there aromatics set up here? Anyhow, I was led to a room with a nice scent that seemed to help me relax.
And then, the spot I was led to was a massage bedā¦ā¦ Arehh? This is kinda different from what I imagined? I thought there would be something like a massage chair magic tool, but looking at this bed, doesnāt it clearly look like Iām going to be massaged by someone?
[Now theeeen, what kind of massage would you liiiiike?]
[Eh? Ahh, Illness-san is going to give me a massage?]
[Yeeees. Although I may not be as good as specialiiiists, I can still give you an overall massaaaaage, so please donāt worryyyyy.]
I see, so thatās how it isā¦ā¦ Thatās why Illness-san had changed her clothesā¦ā¦ All the preparations and such are now starting to make sense.
Itās just a guess, but this Relaxation Room seems to be a place where you can receive various beauty treatments under the exclusive care of Illness-san.
This was different from what I expected, but since itās Illness-san, I can entrust things to her, and in that sense, I guess I can feel relieved.
