Chapter 277 Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [48]
「Hou, this guy is quite the thing.」
Even Bacchus-san himself went on guard due to the strong killing intent emanating from Sebas-san.
(As expected, the Emperor’s Four Knights are on a whole different level.)
The “pressure” was several times heavier than any of the 13 Knights of the Oracle I have faced.
(For now, shall I make sure?)
I cleared my throat and called out timidly.
「Excuse me… Sebas-san, did you perhaps direct your killing intent towards me at the uninhabited island behind the Hundred Million Year Sakura Blossom?」
「Oh, you mean at that time. You hugged the president when she accidentally tripped over a pebble.」
He muttered, and held his head with his trembling hands.
「I was so jealous and envious when you were touching the president and I just couldn’t forgive you! Despite being on a tailing mission, my killing intent accidentally leaked out!」
Sebas-san scratched his head violently and raised his voice almost like a scream.
「I-Is that right…」
It seems that the killing intent which I felt at that time was indeed his.
(But well, it’s a relief for the time being.)
The unknown figure lurking in Cherin was Sebas-san. And his purposes were to talk about recruiting me into the Black Organization and to exchange information.
In other words, there is no immediate danger at present.
(Of course, I can’t completely let down my guard, but…)
It would be alright even if I am not at full guard at all times
When Sebas-san calmed down, we left the sauna room.
After that, we took a quick shower in the washing place, and finally soaked in a cold bath.
(Ahhh… This is it… This is amazing!)
The cold sensation spread through my hot body.
The open pores of my skin tightened, and an intense sense of exhilaration ran throughout my whole body.
(Sauna and cold bath, huh. This is the first time I’ve experienced it as a set, but I think this is going to become a habit.)
When we return to Ringard, let’s try it at the Thousand Blade Academy’s public bath.
After enjoying the cold bath, it was time for the main hot spring.
An open-air bath with a rock garden filled with the atmosphere of nature.
A clear and transparent hot spring sprang up in that place.
I slowly dipped my foot into the bathtub while taking in the sight of sakura blossom petals floating in the bathtub.
「Aah, yes….」
My voice naturally leaked out when I submerged upto my shoulder.
(The temperature is just perfect.)
From toe to thigh, from thighs to torso, from torso to every end of the body.
A soft, powerful “warmth” spread. It warmed even the core of my body.
「Indeed, this is out of this world.」
Sebas-san muttered, with a captivated expression.
「Bararararara… Indeed, the hot spring here is the best.」
Bacchus-san stretched out his big body and closed his eyes partially.
Sitting around in a very pleasant atmosphere, we naturally started talking about our life stories.
I shared about the hard but fulfilling peasant life in Goza Village.
Sebas-san shared the culture and customs of the Holy Ronelia Empire, as well as the system of the Black Organization and the authority given to the Thirteen Knights of the Oracle and the Four Knights directly under the Emperor.
Bacchus-san shared about the delicacies and famous sake that he found on his travels during his warrior path, as well as rare soul dress abilities that he had seen so far.
Our stories, each of which were quite different to each other, were very exciting.
