◈ 604. [Side Story] Vacation (3)
Lake Kingdom Dungeon Area 5. hot spring facilities.
Lake Kingdom Water Park, commonly called Dungeon Spa.
flashing!
We entered this place filled with the smell of sulfur and cloudy vapor through a teleport gate..
This is a place where just soaking in the bath regenerates stamina and magic power, as well as providing minor buffs..
There are no dramatic healing effects or magical effects, but it is still a place where simple health care is possible..
In the meantime, we used to put injured troops here between stages to help them recover..
Since everyone is in tatters from fighting a fierce battle, it would be nice to soak it all together..
Since this is a place that can only be used once per stage, I just gathered all the heroes under my command and dragged them there..
Rumble…….
“Hey, that's a bit much..”
I was amazed as I saw the heroes crowding around the lobby of the hot spring facility..
Each person carrying towels and a change of clothes at their side, the heroes walked awkwardly and gathered in the lobby of the hot spring facility..
I realized once again that my heroes are diverse, regardless of gender or age..
“My lord. How should I do this??”
Among the heroes gathered in this way, Director Ader was naturally among them. He brought a large cart full of baked eggs and honey water..
I ordered it. Since it was around lunchtime, I thought it would be nice to eat that after taking a bath..
“Leave it in the common hall inside the facility. After taking a bath, let’s gather together to eat..”
“Yes.”
Inside the hot spring facility, there is a public hall built like a large auditorium..
Since I was planning to gather everyone here and talk after the bath anyway, I sent the eggs and honey water that Ader had brought there as well..
It seems like everyone has gathered. I looked back at the heroes lined up in the lobby and shouted..
“Is everyone gathered??”
“Yes~!”
For some reason, the answer came back more relaxed than usual. Whether it's from exhaustion or lack of energy, everyone's voice has no strength. It's time to rest.
“Some of you may have already heard, but starting today, I'm on vacation.!”
“Wow!”
“Some people may be wondering what kind of vacation this is while the monster bastard invasion continues. For now, put those thoughts aside and just melt your body in the hot springs. After taking a bath, I will tell you what to do next while eating baked eggs in the hall over there. got it?”
“yes~!”
“Okay, then let's go! I went and came back with all my fatigue, headaches, toothaches, backaches, and stomachaches completely erased.!”
With my shout, the heroes entered the men's and women's baths..
Is it because they are heroes from all over the world and have different bathing cultures? The bathing equipment(?) brought to the bathroom was also different. I also observed this with interest.
Some people use soap, some use sponges, some use sturdy towels, and some use…….
Squeak Squeak.
hamster…….
“……?”
What is this?.
As I looked around to see who was carrying the hamster cage, I saw Damian blinking calmly. What kind of crazy are you doing with an innocent face, boy?.
“Damien, this guy……?”
“Oh, it's Podong.!”
No, I know his name is Podong, but why did you bring him to the bathroom?.
“As Podong got older, he didn't move the same way as before... … When I came here before, there was a sand bath area inside. I thought Podong might feel better if he took a sand bath there..”
“Oh, you brought Podong here to take a bath too..”
“yes. Water baths are not good for hamsters, but they like sand baths. I think it would be okay if you pick something clean.…….”
Of course, it would be nice if he also got the stamina and magic regeneration buff..
Even though the chubby hamster entered the dungeon with its entire cage, it was just hanging out comfortably as if it didn't care where it went. I looked into the hamster's bean-like eyes..
“Hamsters usually live about 2 to 3 years.?”
“yes. Podong is now a little over 2 years old.…….”
“It doesn't look like it, but it's a hamster with some age, Podong..”
Podong, you must listen carefully to your master and stay healthy~ Okay??
Anyway, Damian entered the men’s bath, holding the baby in the cage carefully..
Around it, muscular men surrounded the hamster cage, not knowing what to do, shouting 'Pudong!' 'Podong!' They chanted the same sound and entered together… … You all should take a sand bath like hamsters..
I smiled and looked in that direction and then turned my head. OK.
“…….”
This time it’s a cage filled with people… … No, I saw Kuilan carrying a stretcher..
Of course, the person on the stretcher was Yun, and the people of the Arian Kingdom standing in front and behind the stretcher were casting harsh glares at Kuilan..
“What are you doing, Kuilan! Please return the princess quickly.!”
Kuilan glared at the Aryan Kingdom people, not giving in to them..
“If they take Yoon and go north like this, it would be a big problem..”
“Isn't it! And, if you suspect us, are you going to wash Princess Yoon?! Is she planning to take the princess into her men’s bathhouse?!”
“……I can't take Yoon to the men's bathhouse..”
Kuilan closed his eyes tightly and finally seemed to have made a firm decision and spoke in a resolute voice..
“There's no choice. I have no choice but to go to the women’s bathhouse.…….”
“What kind of crazy conclusion is that?-!”
Without realizing it, I screamed and hit Kuilan on the back of the head..
Such a happy privilege… … Oh, no, do you think we will let something that goes against public order and social ethics be done? Gal (喝))!
In the end, as a compromise, female priests from Crossroads decided to keep an eye on Yoon. I will soak you in the hot springs and wash your body..
“Helping the sick take a bath is something I've done countless times, so don't worry..”
Rosetta, the head of the church and the head priest of Crossroads, smiled kindly. Aside from accumulating heresy points, this person is also a great priest, so you can trust him..
But a problem arose. As soon as Yun separated from Kuilan, his complexion became dark, as if he was having a nightmare..
Moreover, my shoulders started shaking as if it was cold..
“This person really seems to like you…….”
“Mmm…….”
When I looked up in shock, Kuilan groaned and suddenly started running his hands over his body. What are you doing?
A moment later, Kuilan's hands were filled with the hair that had fallen from his body. Is this a breed of dog that really sheds?.
“Here, a ball made of fur. If this is it.”
Kuilan skillfully balled it up into a fluffy silver-red fur ball and placed it in Yun's arms..
As he held Kuilan's curled fur, Yun's face softened. No, you're really unconscious, right? huh? She's not just pretending to be sick?
After going through this difficult process, Yun disappeared into the women’s bathhouse on a stretcher, surrounded by several priests. It would be nice if you could take a warm compress and come to your senses quickly..
“…….”
Kuilan, who was staring at the entrance to the women's bathhouse where Yoon disappeared, also turned and disappeared into the men's bathhouse..
There are not many people left in the lobby anymore. The only ones left by my side until the end were Lucas and Evangeline..
“Hehe, but since we're all here, it feels like we're having fun and it's nice.!”
Evangeline, who had already stolen a bunch of eggs to eat after taking a bath, said with a bright smile. Look at all the egg pieces around my mouth..
As I was about to criticize, I suddenly thought over what Evangeline said..
‘……Is this here to play??’
The hot spring facility here has the effect of providing stamina and magic regeneration buffs. This is actually the main reason for visiting this place.
If you want to wash your body, go to a public bathhouse. There is no need to go to the dungeon..
In short, this hot spring was ultimately visited for a functional purpose. It is safe to say that it is an extension of the strategy routine repeated between stages..
‘Even if it's a vacation, you can't have fun to the fullest.…….’
Evangeline told me that when I first came to this hot spring. Let’s all go to the sea and play together next time..
If you put your mind to it, you can go to the sea, mountains, valleys... … Maybe we could go on a picnic. Maybe you could pack a lunch and go on a picnic..
We don't have the mental space to do that right now..
After saving the world from destruction... … Then can we go to the sea to play with these kids??
“…….”
Like the hazy steam of a hot spring filling my vision, trying to imagine a future that cannot be clearly drawn... … I grabbed my towel and went into the bathtub..
“……Let's wash too.”
“Yes, my lord..”
“I'll just eat all of this and then go in. Yum.”
After saying that, Evangeline cracked another egg and put it in her mouth..
Eat in moderation, you fat belly.!
***
The first thing I saw when I entered the men’s bath was.
They were really muscular pigs rolling around in the sand bath with Podong. A big smile on my face.
“…….”
I tried to ignore it, pretending I couldn't see it, and walked to the bathhouse. It's so full of steam, my lord, I can't see anything..
‘Everybody's stressed out, yeah…….’
It would be better if you can recover mentally by rolling around with a hamster. Umm…….
‘huh?’
At the entrance to the bathhouse, Zenith and Hannibal were standing awkwardly, looking embarrassed..
Zenith's body was engraved with the stigmata characteristic of the Heretic Questioner, and around Hannibal, water spirits were laughing and spinning..
It seems like this is the first time this awkward father and son have come to the bathroom together..
I came up behind them and gave them a light pat on the back..
“Ouch! His Royal Highness?!”
“You two. Let’s push each other’s backs. practice.”
“yes? Pushing my back?”
“at the time… … There is no pushing culture here. Anyway, it's hard to wash your back. Let’s sit there and give each other a splash on the back..”
me… … No, it's a memory from Godeok's childhood..
Although I don't have many happy memories with my father. The memories of that time when we went to the bathhouse together and pushed each other's backs remain precious..
My father was always difficult to deal with, but the hand he gave me as he meticulously wiped my back was kind..
Because these insignificant memories can remain precious in the future..
When I fussed, Janice and Hannibal reluctantly sat down in front of the sink, and then they started giggling and awkwardly pouring water on each other..
As Janice applied soap to Hannibal's head and washed it with her strong hands, Hannibal let out a scream that did not know whether it was pain or pleasure..
I smiled at this heartwarming sight and turned my head to the side.,
“…….”
“…….”
I immediately found men who were emitting an aura as black as hell..
In the hot bath, Diarmydin, with his long beard wrapped like a scarf, was half-bathing with a dark face..
Nobody, Chain, is squatting next to him, his chin up to his head in the water, staring into space with wide eyes..
and… … Thanks to the strong skin unique to dwarves, the burns have healed considerably, but Kelly Bay is still squatting on the floor, unable to enter the bathtub..
With a gloomy expression on his face, this hot guy was watching from a distance as Zenith and Hannibal were washing each other's backs..
“……Come to think of it, I haven't been to the bathroom even once with that guy Kelly Thorn..”
Kelly Bay muttered gloomily.,
“……I also never had time for anything other than magic lessons with those kids..”
Diarmydin also spoke a line full of regret..
Nobody and Chain also vomited bubbles in the boiling water with grumpy expressions..
“Hey, inspirations.…….”
Even though I dragged him to the hot springs to try to thaw his stiff face, his expression was as frozen as if it had been stored in the freezer for a long time..
The atmosphere was so intoxicating that Thorkell, who was looking for a private bathhouse while looking around his helmet, was so frightened that he trembled when he saw this..
“……after.”
I suddenly got very irritated and walked up to these boiling men.-
Sigh.!
I suddenly scooped up the water in the bath with my hand and splashed it on the faces of these four people.!
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!”
“my eyes! I can't see it anyway, my eyes!”
Chain and Nobody became flagships and fell into disrepair.,
“What are you doing, Prince Ash?! Oh, it's hot!”
Diarmudin screamed, his beard wet..
“You crazy guy! I got burned, I got burned!”
Kelly Bay urgently rolled on the floor to avoid getting hit by hot water..
After spraying water with anger for a while, I smiled cruelly and unclenched my fists..
“I can't do it. I guess I'll have some recreation time this afternoon..”
“les, recreation… … ? what is that……?”
I laughed evilly at the men who were looking at me with fear in their eyes..
“I was just going to wash up in the hot springs and announce my future schedule, but I changed my mind..”
If you're still feeling down like this even though it's your long-awaited vacation, I'll force you to cheer yourself up.!
‘It's not the sea, the mountains, or the valley, but you don't have to go somewhere far away and nice! You can have fun at least in this local bathhouse.!’
Clenching my fists, I made up my mind. Okay, schedule change.!
“By name… … dungeon retreat!”
I'll show you the meta taste of hell's K-retreat.!
From the first day of vacation, just repeat that he died, everyone.-!
