『Farthest Town: Inn: Open air Bath』

………. Yep.

I look towards my right.

「Ah~, there still some shampoo left~. I’m gonna dilute it with hot water kay~」(Tao)

Yep.

Grappling with the shampoo.

I look to the left.

「What’s with this hard soap! Does it mean that I have to use this loincloth thing!」(Maou)

Yep.

Complaining at the solid soap.

I look between my feet, a little girl is snugly fit.

「Is it not okay yet, Kazuha? Please wash my hair already. I can’t wash it alone.」(Ruru)

Yep.

This was said by the little girl wearing a shower cap who was getting mad.

…… Yeah.

Everyone knows that this is the bath right?

I take a deep breath.

「HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!」(Kazuha)

・・・

I dive into the deepest part of the bath. *Bukubukubuku/Bubble bubble*……

「What in the world happened……. Suddenly screaming and you even jumped into the hot spring……」(Tao)

Like I’ve said! I [ore]! I’m a man!

I may look like a girl, but, I’m a bonafide man!

I went with the flow and somehow came in with you all!

「As always, you are a noisy little girl, Kazuha. Thinking that I am being led by the nose by this kind of person…… KU……!」(Maou)

Hey.

Remembering it doesn’t bother me.

But I can hear you even underwater-.

「…… Shampoo~……」(Ruru)

I thought I heard the little girl’s cry but I ignored it.

Useless!

Seating amicably between my feet is bad, right!

「It can’t be helped…… Ruru-chan? Can I wash your hair in place of Kazuha?」(Tao)

「Yes. You have my gratitude.」(Ruru)

「Fu…… A spirit that can’t even wash her own hair. How laughable.」(Maou)

「Mu.」(Ruru)

Ah, somehow the air froze?

Even though I’m in the bath I can feel chills flowing down my spine!

「I can too. I’ll wash it myself!」(Ruru)

「He- Ruru-chan? Don’t push yourself, I’ll–」

「I am not! Is Tao-san making fun of me too!」(Ruru)

Ooh~. Tao, nice land mine!

「It’s because you are easily swayed by your emotions that our fight in the past–」(Maou)

「THAT AGAIN! That war was caused by you demons–」

Zappan! I arrived!

「Stoーーーーーーーーーーーp！！！」(Kazuha)

This is my moment, right!

「You know! This is the bath! If you start arguing here nothing will be resolved!」(Kazuha)

「・・・」

「・・・」

「……Kazuha. You should hide your front you know」(Tao)

Eh?

Ah…….

「NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!」

◆◇◆◇

『Inn: Their Room』

I am again seated in a seiza position.

And this time I did it on my own,

「We’re all women so isn’t it fine……」(Tao)

I’m a man.

I’m really sorry.

My bad, I had a feast.

「Kazuha? Won’t you dry my hair?」(Ruru)

「Ah, kay~」

….. Why “Ah, kay~”!

I kinda replied on reflex but, why me!

「Fu……. A spirit can’t dry her—」(Maou)

「Okay! Stop! Can you not pick a fight?」(Tao)

Nice assist.

I mean if I was alone then it’d impossible for me. I can’t handle it.

「Kazuha? Hurry up.」(Ruru)

「Ah, kay~」

…… Not that, me!

Shit, why?

What’s with this 『It won’t be good if I don’t do it』 thinking?

Perhaps……!

Is this the little girls hidden skill……!

「Muu. There’s something I’m not agreeing with, but…… But my body is…… Mumuu」(Kazuha)

「But Ruru-chan’s hair is always free-flowing and beautiful right~? I’m so jealous~」(Tao)

「Is that so? I like Tao-san’s short hair more though」(Ruru)

I do as I was asked and dry Ruru’s long hair, pointing a dryer at it while drying the moist part with a bath towel.

「Hey Kazuha. Please do my hair next.」(Maou)

「You do it yourself!」(Kazuha)

Are you a child!

「Mu…… But ……. Usually I have one of the lower classes do it……. It’s not normal,…… um……. .I haven’t done it……」(Maoue)

「…………….. Hou?」(Ruru)

Ah, just now, the little girl that I was pointing the dryer at had a light shine from her eyes.

「……『I haven’t done it』 I take?」(Ruru)

Uwaah-.

Now Ruru has a evil look.

How scheming.

The little girl is scheming.

「S-such a thing is…… I- I haven’t said such! You heard it wrong!」(Maou)

「Eh? Just now you even said 『lower class』?」(Tao)

Nice finish, Tao!

「*Ji—/stare*」(Ruru)

The little girl’s scornful eyes is scary.

『I don’t want such a little girl.』

「T-that is…. I know! 『I always let the lower classes do it』 is what I mean……!」(Maou)

As if!

There no such Maou that will let lower class demons dry her hair with a dryer!

If there is, take me there!

「………… You’re good at lying. As expected of the Maou-sama」(Ruru)

「Ugu……! Y-you……![Kisama]」(Maoue)

She’s murmuring something……

I don’t like static electricity so can I stop this……

「Haa…… It started again……. They don’t give up, huh……. These two」(Tao)

Said Tao while laying on her bed.

「Fuwaaaa…… Kazuha? I’ll leave it to you~. I’m gonna sleep now…… Fuwaaaaa…….」(Tao)

「Hey!」

Don’t leave me behind in this situation!

What should I do!

To this fang bearing little girl and a Maou-sama that will shoot beams from her eyes!

Spare me.

I too am sleepy.

Then we, the 《Spirit Demon war》 is–.

— indeed continued until morning. 。

Haa……。
