The Strongest Wizard Becomes a Countryside Guardsman After Taking an Arrow to the Knee - Chapter 418 - The Bath 2

Chapter 418 – The Bath 2

I tried to avoid using magic for daily circumstances as much as I could.

With magic you could do everything you needed without taking a step out of bed.

But if you did that, then your body would atrophy.

You could train your muscles with magic too, but that’s not a very healthy way to live, I thought.

That’s why if I could do it by hand, I would do it that way.

But this time I thought it was fine.

I dumped a bunch of water over me.

「Hey, you cheater!」

Cruz said, but it wasn’t cheating at all.

「Ah, Mister Al, you could have let me do the rinsing.」

「I would have, but…」

I had asked over and over, but no one did, so, oh well.

It felt so good I was beginning to fall asleep, and if I fell asleep like that something crazy might have happened to me.

So after washing myself off, I opened my eyes.

「Thanks Cruz and Millet. I can wash your backs off, if you need it.」

Then I turned around and,

「Kyaaa!」

Millet screamed, embarrassed.

She had a big towel wrapped around her so nothing could be seen, but she was still embarrassed.

「Wha?」

No one’s going to willfully go into a bath and then scream like that.

「Let me wash your backs off, turn around.」

Normally, you’d wash the girl’s hair off and then rinse it.

But I had no idea how to wash a girl’s hair.

Cruz’ hair was short so it might be easier, but it wouldn’t be fair to just wash hers.

So I decided just to wash their backs off.

「No! No need to.」

Millet refused, but

「Oh, sure, go ahead Al!」

Cruz’ eyes glimmered.

「Here then!」

Cruz said, turning her back to me.

「Hey, no fair!」

Millet then said, I guess she really wanted me to even though she refused.

「Wash her front.」

I said, while I washed Cruz’ back.

『She was embarrassed about fronts before. She’s gotten braver.』

I could hear Femm say.

「T…that’s not true!」

『They’re getting to be rivals.』

「N…no we’re not!」

Femm and Cruz said to each other.

I had no idea what they were talking about, so I just kept washing Cruz’ back.

Millet then washed Cruz’ neck and shoulders.

「Heh heh heh」

Cruz said, seeming to enjoy it.

I guess Millet’s way of washing really was pleasurable.

And after we were done, Millet said,

「Ah, um, me too…」

「Yeah, go ahead and turn around.」

So I washed Millet’s back.

「Millet, your shoulders are really stiff.」

「…yes, they always are…」

Must be tough when you’re young. I know that Cruz’ shoulders are never like that.

Maybe because Cruz’ shoulders are so built, while Millet’s are different.

I was thinking it over and Timi said to me,

「I guess when people have big ones their shoulders are stiff like that.」

「…what…what do you mean…」

I could see that Millet was blushing.

I didn’t know what Timi meant, but then Cruz followed up.

「Strange for elves to have boobs that big.」

「Yeah, my sthisthers got really big boobiesth!」

Colette said while happily splashing around the bath.

「And they’re only getting bigger! You like big onesth, old man?」

「Wha? What big ones?」

I knew exactly what she meant, but I’m not going to answer a question like that.

Little girls aren’t fooled though, they cut straight to the chase.

「What? Boobiesth of coursthe!」

Collette said with a completely normal smile.

「Well…um…」

I was hoping that Millet would say something to defray the situation.

She just sat there though, waiting for the answer.

I could feel the skin around my ears getting hot.

Then I said to Cruz,

「Well, Cruz…」

「…」

Cruz just sat there silent. She looked at me very seriously.

「Well…um…」

「So which old man? Big onesth or sthmall onesth? Which?!」

Colette kept up with her demand to know.

There was no way to run…or to answer.

「I guess I like both types…」

「Whaa?」

Colette looked a bit put out by my answer.

「An indecisive answer like that doesn’t match the great Alra! Don’t try to fool us!」

「ryaaryaa!」

「See, Shiggy wants to know as well!」

「ryaa」

I don’t think Shiggy wanted to know that badly.

She just was responding to how excited Timi sounded when she asked that question.

But, there was no way to escape, so I had to answer,

「Well, I guess…」

I thought long about what my answer should be.
