Chapter 286. Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [57]
Ria hid her chest with the towel she had, Rose, who had nothing to cover herself with, crouched while hugging her body with her hands, and the president, who was taking a footbath, immediately jumped into the bathtub.
(I can’t believe this…)
I slammed into the wooden wall due to the soap bars. And due to the impact, I seem to have been propelled into the women’s bath.
The three were so embarrassed that their cheeks were dyed bright red, as they glared at me.
(Crap!)
My complexion turned pale, as if all the blood in my body was drawn out.
(This is………dangerous.)
In my head, I was seeing something like a light in the sky which was calling to me.
(My life has never been easy.)
I was not blessed with talent, and even if I made an effort, there was no reward for it. At the Gran Swordsmanship Academy, I desperately endured three years of hell.
And I was almost killed more than once.
I have experienced more frustrations and hardships than an average person, and have run into various dangers.
(But one thing I can affirm is…)
Of the billion and fifteen years of my life, this moment is arguably the biggest crisis of my life.
If I fail to persuade Ria and the other two, I will be labeled a “Peeping Tom” and it will be the end of my social life forever.
(At the same time, a dark and cold life will begin.)
After several years have passed and I have successfully completed my prison sentence, the harsh reality of “unemployed with a criminal record” will await me.
And obviously, a criminal cannot become a Holy Knight.
Instead of providing a comfortable life for my mother, I would just make her sad.
(Keep calm and think calmly.)
I mobilized the full capacity of my brain to come up with an excuse.
「T-This… is a misunderstanding! It’s not what it looks like! Believe me… I’m not a peeping tom!」
The first thing to do is to deny it.
It is necessary to declare clearly that my intention was not to see them naked.
「This is an unexpected accident! Sebas-san and Bacchus-san tried to peep into the women’s bath, so I was fighting to prevent that! Look over there! You will find them holding a mop and bleeding!」
When I looked back, no one was in the men’s bath.
「Eh……?」
There were no mops, no blood stains on the floor, and no broken wooden tubs.
The men’s bath was clean and serene.
(T-Those guys…)
Sebas-san and Bacchus-san sensed the situation early, and abandoned me.
Their unbelievable danger sensing ability and speed of escape… that would usually amaze me, but at this moment, I was seething with fury.
