1.

I solemnly swear before the World Tree and the spirits of nature.

The third princess of the Iphisia kingdom, Srenia Iphisia, is an elf who reveres and respects nature and wishes to return to her original form.

All these actions are a will to embrace nature with my body, and to receive the joy that comes from throwing my humble body toward nature.

Sexual desire is also a natural desire, but for now, I will not reveal it for a moment in order to find my essential self.

After solemnly swearing her oath, Srenya reached out her hand towards the negligee.

It’s light.

Take off the negligee that feels soft to the touch.

After roughly cleaning it, place it on top of the academy uniform.

And she takes off all her underwear, which looks simple but luxurious.

‘Don’t be ashamed. All of this is to fulfill nature.’

Underwear is also placed gently over the negligee.

Since I had to go to school, I memorized the shapes of the trees around me so I could get my clothes back.

Even though he can’t remember a person’s face, he can remember the shape of a tree.

The disaster of losing all your clothes will not happen.

-…..!

I hear a sound like a large bird crying.

I passed it over as nothing serious.

“Hoo… Shall we begin?”

It’s a beginning.

It is the communion with nature that I have been dreaming of.

For some reason, I feel a burning sensation rising in my face and my chest is pounding, but I ignore it.

Although I only had my ankles immersed, I could feel the strange sensation of the cold wind directly touching my naked body, but I ignored it.

Since I have solemnly sworn, no one will understand my feelings and will not look at me with contempt.

…maybe?

-Police… Police…

I slowly moved my feet towards the deeper water.

The water that had been tickling my ankles gradually rose up and soaked my calves.

As I approached the center of the river, the morning mist naturally obscured my body.

Is that like the fog that appears with the fairy?

After a brief thought, I immersed myself in water up to my thighs.

“Ahhh the car…”

The water level deepened in an instant.

The cold water swept down my spine, sending a tingling sensation through my whole body.

A groan escaped my lips at the unfamiliar sensation that had surged through me.

I walked towards deeper and deeper waters.

Finally, I immersed myself in water that reached just below my shoulders, completely covering my chest.

This seems to be the deepest place…

In this state, I closed my eyes and tried to relax the strength in my toes.

All humans are born in water.

Surrender your body to the amniotic fluid in your mother’s womb and wait for birth.

I think it’s the same now.

The body sinks, the legs rise naturally, and a sense of comfort and joy wells up deep within.

The only thing that supports my back is water.

I finally feel like I have become one with nature.

“Mother…”

He blurted out a word with an ambiguous meaning.

The mother who gave birth to me and the mother nature who embraced everything in this world.

Let’s immerse ourselves in it and enjoy our mother’s embrace.

I made up my mind to do that and fell into a state of selflessness.

Oh, mother.

…

I put a lot of effort into explaining it, but the current posture is just ridiculous.

It’s like a water ghost from a horror story, floating along in the current with only its face floating.

I came to my senses and the water level rose to a level where I could submerge my calves.

I continued walking along the current heading downstream.

“Ugh… It’s cold.”

Even if dawn is visible, the sunlight is not enough to warm the body because it is not a sunny place.

I could feel the cool breeze blowing across my body, taking away my body heat.

…Should I go back soon?

While making that decision, I looked at the morning sunlight shining through the thick fog.

“Wow… beautiful…”

Elasticity is screaming out.

It’s sunrise.

I see light cutting through the mist.

The colorless forest that had maintained its coolness is transformed into a vivid forest with a vivid green color.

At the same time, the water sparkles and the view becomes clear.

Unobstructed view.

A man is seen in it.

“…Huh?”

I felt like my gaze was fixed on the man.

The man had a body with ugly scars, yet its physical beauty seemed undiminished.

Most human bodies are not perfectly symmetrical.

Whether your arm length is asymmetrical, your legs are asymmetrical, or your face is asymmetrical.

Of course.

A human being without flaws is not a human being, but a sculpture.

But the man far away was different.

He was truly a statuesque man.

The shape of each muscle, distinctly divided and colorful, nestled between the bones.

They are beautifully symmetrical.

I have the perverted illusion that my gaze is digging into the flexion of muscles.

…and a face that feels masculine, but also somehow handsome.

Her forehead, half exposed due to her black bangs being swept back, exudes a wild charm, while her thick eyebrows are captivating.

And the eyes that seem to be dark and buried somewhere, as if they contain a story.

But what I will explain later is even more important.

He was worshipping according to the elven etiquette.

Ah, but that worship method…

“… Didn’t it happen in practice? Even I didn’t know?”

That human man was practicing the ritual that I had only heard existed from the ancient water spirits.

I couldn’t hide my surprise, and unfortunately I couldn’t stop walking.

As the man finished his service, our eyes met.

What a strange thing to come across while walking.

The harvest from today’s walk seems quite plentiful.

The other person also made eye contact with me.

Stay still.

Me, naked?

2.

“Huhhh…Puhaaaa…”

Fresh air.

Even if it is another world, wouldn’t it be full of phytoncides?

The thought that this forest is full of good things makes me want to catch my breath.

Time alone, without Yuli, who usually follows me around.

It’s nice to be with Yuli, whether it’s going for a walk or working, but I also need some time alone.

“Keuu …

The birds around me flutter and fly away in surprise at my loud shout.

Stretch your tired body and feel refreshed.

You might say, “Is this refreshing?” but this is actually the case.

You have to twist your body a bit to feel refreshed.

The place I arrived at, with cool air and pleasant morning dew, was the Rukia River, where I usually come.

This is my space with Yuli where we go fishing, camping, and washing.

It’s quite far from the academy, so most students don’t come here.

Thanks to this, it is one of the few spaces that does not use the fogging of memory.

…

After walking for a while, Lake Rukia came into view.

Now that I can see the dawn slowly coming into view, I guess it’s getting close to morning.

“As expected… This is the greatest spectacle you can see at the Academy.”

Wow.

This is it.

The sun rises briefly, casting a golden sheen on the Rukia River.

Sparkling glitter, rising sun, green forest.

Watching the sun gradually spread warmth in the cool dawn brings a new feeling.

There’s a reason I enjoy coming here.

Before I knew it, I was getting excited and started taking off my clothes.

Since I was going to do the laundry anyway, instead of hanging up the clothes, I just threw them all over the place.

“Ah, it’s refreshing. Okay, it’s perfect!”

I got goosebumps when I put my feet in the cold water.

But I don’t joke around.

I feel the urge to scrunch up my face, but I try to keep my expression straight.

It’s a useless fight over pride that no one is watching.

Without stopping, I immersed my body only until my pubic bone was submerged.

“Eeee…!”

Be cool.

Shrink, shrink.

It’s as fierce as two fires.

Cold water requires adaptation to even colder water.

-Swish! Swish swish swish!

I scooped up some cold water from the Rukia River with my hand and splashed it on my chest, stomach, and neck.

Sprinkle water and rub in like lotion.

And now it’s time to wash your body according to its original purpose.

I gather water into both hands and wash my face roughly, making a splashing sound.

Your skin is damaged?

“A real man doesn’t care about that kind of thing.”

Wash it thoroughly, almost to the point of washing your face.

And since I’m going to wash my hair anyway, I just wash my face and use the water left on my hands to naturally sweep my bangs back with my hands.

As the cold water touched my face, did the hazy sleepiness finally completely disappear?

Something I had forgotten came to mind.

“Oh right. Worship… I forgot.”

This world is a fantasy world.

Gods exist, and there are superhuman powers, magic, and spirits.

That is why worship is not just about cultivating faith, but actually has meaning in this world.

Whether you are a layperson, a priest, a magician or a swordsman, worship has meaning and efficacy.

In any case, before using water, it is a good idea to worship the god or spirit that governs water.

It’s just like a mealtime feeling.

Worship is free, but it doesn’t require much effort.

There are many gods and religions in this world, but among them, I follow the elven tradition.

Why do you follow elven traditions?

One of the members of the previous warrior party was an elf, so I was also very knowledgeable about elven traditions.

I find her attitude towards nature impressive, and I feel at ease with the elven traditions.

He decides that it would be best to pray to the native spirits according to elven tradition, and prepares to worship them.

“Why does the water spirit worship come to mind only after using water…?”

It feels like I only remember to wash my hands after washing my face, and it feels like I only remember to say my prayers after eating.

Generates magical power.

Having a lot of faith does not necessarily mean you have deep faith.

Just a little bit.

Just like when you tap at the maximum surface tension, it collects just enough water droplets to overflow.

And I express my gratitude.

“Fukagiosri. The capiora luciaenesia to geta poalama.

To put it roughly,

Pukagiosuri // Thank you

To //

Kapiora // Dear

Lucianesia // Lucia River

Sat // of

Hetaro // Water

Poalama // Spirit

He kisses the surface of the water before the magical power that flows out dissipates into the air.

The magic that proves my existence and the water come into contact.

And then naturally open your mouth and suck in the water.

Clean water that instantly moisturizes dry mouth.

Just roll the water over your tongue for about a second and then close your mouth.

The water seeps into my body like magic seeps into water.

It is a cycle between nature and me, and between me and nature.

He raises his head and swallows water.

I feel the cool, refreshing water flowing down my esophagus.

There is a thrilling sight like cold water right before my eyes.

A naked body, like a fairy, appeared before me.

Perhaps the thick fog makes her look even more fairy-like.

“…Oops.”

……huh?

Naked?

3.

“Haaam.”

The strongest holy sword among the swords, Yuli, cried out.

“Ugh.”

I took a sip and checked that there was no one around.

“Where did Kai go…”

I woke up in bed with a start, rubbing my eyes half-asleep.

Like a dog wandering around looking for its owner.
