For the time being, I just finished washing Illness-san and proceeded to wash the rest of my own body next, and the next step was finally the bathā¦ā¦ I still hadnāt decided where I was gonna start though. There are many kinds of baths, and all of them look good. Hmmmā¦ā¦Alright, Iāve made up my mind! I decided to start with a simple jacuzzi.
I think it would be better to start with the jacuzzi and the ultrasonic baths, then take a waterfall shower if I felt like it, then relax in the aromatic bath, before finally taking a long soak lying down in the lie-down bath.
[Illness-san, Iām thinking of entering the jacuzzi firstā¦ā¦ Errr, Illness-san, would you like to go in with me?]
[Yeees. Well theeeeen, Iāll be joining youuuu.]
Iām still questioning about this, but what kind of support would she even provide here in the bath other than helping me wash my body? No, I guess I wonāt necessarily be supported in all baths, only in the ones that required her support? I guess I would need some courage to enter that electric bath or those like that by myselfā¦ā¦
Also, I guess thereās a possibility that sheās there to prepare drinks for me? Well, I feel like if I donāt say anything, she would probably just be standing there next to the bath, so I just decided to ask her if she wanted to join me.
That alone seemed like a rather bold offer, but in fact, the bathtubs here are designed for multiple people, so there was no problem with my invitation at all.
Anyhow, we moved to the first bath, the jacuzzi, and soaked ourselves in the hot water. The feeling of bubbles rising from the water is quite pleasant. Jacuzzi baths are rare unless you go to a super bathhouse or establishments like that, so theyāre very precious
No, there may be some people who own jacuzzis at home butā¦ā¦
[It feels good. I feel like my fatigue was being taken away.]
[Yeees. This is quite interesting, isnāt iiiiiit?]
[Ahh, I guess jacuzzis didnāt originally exist in this world?]
[Perhaaaaaps, it may exist somewheeeeere. If you add this kind of functionalityyyyy, the price of a magic tool will inevitably go up considerablyyyyy, so it may be difficult for those who arenāt wealthyyyyy.]
Many magic tools that only have one formula engraved on them are relatively cheap, but having multiple formulas engraved on a single magic tool seems to be quite pricey.
Having multiple formulas makes the effect that much more effective, but just as Illness-san said, it would be difficult for a person of a certain level of wealth to spend a considerable amount of money for a jacuzzi function in their bath.
As was the case with Kaori-san, I think many people buy only the minimum amount of magic tools because of their effectiveness.
[Now theeeen, I canāt just relax around like thiiiis, so itās about time I provide my suppooooort.]
[ā¦ā¦Errr, Iāve been wondering about that actually. What kind of support do you provide in the bath other than washing my body?]
[I will now give you a light lymphatic massaaaaaage. If I do it while youāre taking a baaaaath, it will help you relieve your fatiiiiiigue.]
[Ahh, I see!]
[Howeveeeeer, if I were to do it too muuuuuch, you may get dizzy when you get out of the baaaaath, so I would limit the massage to gentle caresseeees.]
I see, massage while bathing huh. That certainly sounds effective. Illness-san is really good at massaging, so that really feels like it would relieve my fatigue.
As for the danger of getting dizzy if this were to be overdone, I guess that may be due to the difference in temperature if the blood circulation becomes too good. Well, I guess I can just leave moderating it to Illness-san.
[Well then, Iām in your care.]
[Yeeees. Understoooood. Well theeeeen, if youāll excuse meeeee.]
[ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦!?]
Wait, what just happened? Iām kinda feeling some soft things touching my back right now though? Wait, wait, letās calm ourselves here, letās get the situation straight.
I asked Illness-san to give me a massage. So far, so good. Illness-san nodded her head and came up behind me, and bringing her hands in front of my neck, sheās now hugging me from behind.
Iām in a swimsuit now. In other words, Iām in a state where my skin is bare with no cloth on my back. I donāt think I even need to imagine what that feeling and warmth from the thin cloth behind meā¦ā¦ No, wait! Seriously, whatās going on!!!?
[Well theeeen, Iāll start with a collarbone massaaaaaage.]
[ā¦ā¦Ahh, I suppose so. Yes, collarbone. Collarbones are important after all.]
What the heck was I thinking? Illness-san was purely intending to give me a massage, and she doesnāt hold any other intention. Due to Illness-sanās physique, it would be better if she wraps her hands from behind me in order to massage my collarbone efficiently.
But you see, Illness-sanā¦ā¦ Men are simple creatures. If a beautiful and kind older woman in a swimsuit hugged us from behind, even if things just turned that way because of other reasons, weād misunderstand, wondering if she was interested in us. I guess this is just part of a sorrowful characteristic of a man.
