"I heard you, Eight Crowns. That (...) is the sixth crown, isn't it?"

At night, at the large bathing area and men's baths.

When I was using the hot tub, Jerez, who had a nagging face, came in next to me while saying that.

You're a quick ear.

"My father taught me the secret to trading early in my ears."

By the way, this wanderer was also the eldest son of the Count family.

"Didn't you learn that curiosity kills cats?"

"Curiosity has learned to keep me alive."

Fair enough, it's like the Count who spoke to me without fear of Angormor.

"But the six crowns... I'm curious about the embarrassing story."

I was wondering how I was going to deceive you, and an unexpected person caught me. A rock 'n' roll chair.

He is a calm, polite and soft-hearted man, but he is also surprisingly charming. I guess this is his charm, but it's a pain in the ass.

"Um, Sylvia, Yukari, Nova..."

Look, I'm starting to count a lot. Go ahead.

Surprisingly, the Eight Crowns are made of both monsters and spirits.

"Even Miroku and Angormore!?"

"Wait, Kora! Don't get me wrong!"

And for the second time, I was bluffing.

"Excuse me, excuse me, I'm kidding, I'm kidding."

The rock 'n' roll chair laughs happily with its shoes, and enjoys me.

So who is the sixth person?

"I asked Masamune-san." The Battle of Shamon "

"Oh...!"

In response to Jerez's revelation, the rock 'n' roll chair let out a voice of admiration.

How did it happen?

"That's why the encounter goes back about a year..."

Jerez, who knows a lot, starts talking about me and Masamune.

I was embarrassed to hear that, so I turned my attention away from the two of them.

"Awesome. What is this?"

It's a demon.

"... ghost?"

Yes.

"Hmm..."

Rave and Cubelo are talking about something. Hey, Rave showed interest in Cubelo's back tattoo.

Yeah, I've never seen Cubelo before, because it's usually a servant's house bath, and we rarely get together.

I've been used to it for a long time, but I'm sure it's the first time I've seen it.

Second Master, please be careful not to overflow with too much hot water.

When Cubelo notices my gaze, he talks about it on his usual caregiving face.

Cubelo is no less than Zero Ring.

"If you want to leave, you can leave first."

No, I'm chaperoning the Second Master's back like that.

"So if you don't, you won't be able to take care of me, right?"

No, don't worry about it.

And as stubborn as ever.

Well then, let's use that stubbornness to make Metcha long water to the point that it can't be forgotten. That way, you can force Cubelo, who doesn't want to rest, to rest.

Speaking of which, what happened to Rave?

"Ah, ha, yes! I remember, everything."

"Oh, oh, yeah."

I'm learning how to use it!

I see, good luck.

"Yes...!"

On the other hand, Rave still felt like a "mere fan".

But what I'm doing is an unbelievable genius. Since he was growing so much, I thought about going as far as I could, so I tried to make him remember the Wu-No-type that I hadn't planned for. This is the result. It didn't take me three days to master all the attributes.

"Well, you can take it easy tonight." You might get tired just before. "

Yes, I will.

Stampede is less than a week away.

Rave nodded in no time. That's a lot of Yes-Man.

By the way, it is Lin Lin who teaches us how to use it. When Mr. Lynn's time doesn't suit, I'll teach her, Laz will teach her, and Mr. Zero will teach her again.

In the other six days, we'll all go as far as we can.

"--Oh, I knew it, Second Miss."

When I was relaxing in the hot tub, Mine came in.

"Mine, don't be so hasty. I don't even know if I'm slipping or falling."

Klaus came in a little bit after that.

It seems that the two of them are in brother mode because they have finished their work as kings today.

Did you want to come to this bath on purpose to see me? It's Mine.

"W-What's wrong with that?" Don't get me wrong, you're creepy, aren't you? "

I was delighted to hear the voice of the second eight crowns in the dressing room.

"Brother, please shut up."

"I'm sorry."

Recently, I've been too busy with the stampede measures and I haven't been able to talk about anything other than work at all, so I'm kind of happy to just be able to see the faces of the two of them when I'm off.

Does Mine want to get into the hot tub early or is she washing herself in a hurry? Klaus was gently washing his back without saying anything.

Nevertheless, the two of you got along. Considering the previous relationship, it seems miraculous. Is it the one where it rains and solidifies the ground? Whatever it is, it's a good thing.

…………

When she glanced to the side, Cubelo closed her eyes and put her arms together, sitting one step above the hot tub and taking a half-bath.

It's very easy to understand. "I feel uncomfortable" is written all over my body.

Needless to say, the reason would lie in the ties between Cubelo and Klaus.

The former head of the bandit who was exterminated by the deception of the mastermind. A former Knight Commander who was deceived into taking on a role and dropping his hand directly.

Both have their say and both have their share of responsibility.

I can divide it quite well, but I am not convinced from the bottom of my heart.

I can see such a situation in a blur.

Huh. Second-san, isn't it unusually long today?

When I was thinking about Cubelo's heart, the mine that had finished washing my body came in.

Then Klaus came in.

As usual, Klaus is still trying to act as Mine's escort, even when it's off.

Well, occasionally.

"It's really (...) sometimes, right?"

It's the first time I've ever seen you in a hot tub.

Yeah? Well, if you ask me, maybe.

I've been running around for a minute and a second with regret, so even the act of taking a bath in the first place... no, let's stop.

It was thanks to the unexpected appearance of Mr. Zero Ring that I could afford to take a bath. Zero-ring, you can put me in the bath, Magiocan.

Instead, Masamune was receiving a hellish shigoki so much that she didn't have time to sleep properly instead of taking a bath. I can't stop it because it's my will. I'd rather say do more.

It is undisputedly a talent that can only work so hard. The environment in which she grew up will be greatly affected, but it is certainly something that she was born with. I want you to take care of it.

I always wish I could wear the posture of the second person if I could.

Attitude?

"It's an unsweetened posture. No matter how much you're sleepy or if you don't want to rest, if you need to, you can move your body, right?"

Oh, that's right.

"I, too, as a king, would not be able to do otherwise. But you can't do what you can't. After all, there are times when you are really spoiled.”

"I can jerk off because I need to do what I want to do." Is what you think really what you want to do? If you can't move, isn't that what you want to do? "

"... what should I do? I feel like I've been struck by a star."

Since you've become a king after all, why don't you do what you want to do.

"That's right." Unfortunately, the King can't do everything he wants to do. "

Mine sighed, "Haha," and put it all over her shoulder.

It's difficult to be young.

"Well, it's fun, though. I feel it's worth it."

Yeah, but that's why I thought I could leave the king to him.

Klaus nodded admiringly to his brother in the back.

"I feel worth it, too." But if you vaguely protect your country, you don't have to be a mere fool. I can finally believe that protecting this person in front of me will help me protect my country. "

And somehow he was saying something hot.

A fool must be referring to his past self.

Yeah, that's how Klaus changed so much that I could reflect on it, so I thought I'd take it as an apprentice.

…………

Suddenly, Cubelo rose.

Then, when I leave the hot tub silently, I leave the bathroom behind.

... after all, it's difficult to make a compromise.

He is a stubborn man, not a man who bends what he once said.

But the more Cubelo forgot to say he wasn't taking a bath before me, the more Klaus seemed to care.

The tattoo of the demon engraved on the back of the departing Cubelo looks angry and sad.

I don't know what he feels right now.

However, it was certain that there were enormous emotions in him that had no place in the world---.

Get out of the bath and return to your room.

Since it is a ryokan-style house, the room is naturally ryokan-style.

There was already a futon in the room I came back to, and I heard a pleasant voice from inside.

Yes, I called it in before I took a bath.

I'm back ~

Second, I'm starting first, Yo.

Senpai, have you been taking a long bath for a long time?

You're taking a bath here, Second Miss.

Three people surround the table on tatami mats. Mr. Zero, Mr. Laz and Mr. Lin.

Two of the three were drinking. It seems like Zero Ring can't eat or drink because he is a spirit.

Masamune, a servant, said, "Please lend me your Zero Ring." It was OK for two reasons. I probably wouldn't be able to do anything while the demons were gone.

Well, I guess it's become a much more human life.

I took a glass from Laz and asked him to pour me a beer and answer honestly.

Mr. Zero and Mr. Lin Lin. Wouldn't it be surprising if I lived a normal life?

"Don't lie. It takes four months for the Dark Wolf to tame you."

"OMG"

"Four months... in this world?" Are you out of your mind? "

I was suspicious of my sanity.

"No, if you're sane, you can't tame me."

That's true.

Besides, you can only transform with swords, bows, demons, and spirits.

"I thought it would be better if it was sooner."

Oh, crazy.

"I wanted my cock sooner..."

"Let's teach Zero Huan a lot more than that." Linlin-san, this person has stopped by the implementation of Battleship. "

“I heard. I hope my head isn't punctured by too much information.”

"Wow! Are you that excited?"

"It takes three days and three nights. Don't fall asleep."

No, if you teach me a little bit, I'll cum

"... joking"

"It's hard to understand, phosphorus. Phosphorus is a joke!"

Perhaps because of the alcohol, Mr. Lin Lin and Mr. Laz's tone was more shattered than usual.

It's kind of like a school trip to gather in a yukata and have a nice talk in a room. I've never been there before.

Indeed, my youth was with them.

At this age, you come to this world, you meet again, and you spend your youth again.

Thinking so, it's kind of emotive.

"Hey, guys. For now."

It was the last booze before the stampede.

And for the four of us, it's the first booze.

"Cheers!"
