The first night of the adventure.

-with a splash.

“Huh… .”

‘I feel like Onsen Tamago*… .’

※Onsen Tamago (温泉卵): Hot spring egg. Cooked in water at around 70℃, it boasts a creamy, soft texture without any fishy taste.

As I soaked in the pleasantly warm water, an indescribable happiness flooded me.

Although there was moss growing here and there, probably due to lack of maintenance after being abandoned, and I had to go through the trouble of lighting the fire myself…

It was a labor worth enduring in order to feel this fluffy, happy feeling. hmm.

I couldn’t help but hum in joy.

however,

“Hehe~.”

– Phuheap. Hero, do you like it that much?

-Angel sings well too!

“… … !!!!?”

My expression, which had melted, hardened again when I heard the voice coming from beyond the wooden wall.

Of course, the men’s and women’s baths are separated, and I was caught off guard because you had to wear a skimpy swimsuit to begin with…

The baths are so close that voices can be heard so clearly. It was so unexpected.

‘Could it be possible that the men’s and women’s baths were divided with just this thin wooden board!?’

“Didn’t you say that the baths are divided… ? I think it was divided too roughly… .”

When I thought about Arthur and Elizabeth immersing themselves in the bathtub in their swimsuits over a plate, my face suddenly heated up.

You might be thinking that this is just a swimsuit, but what should I do? Just imagining it is so erotic that it makes me feel embarrassed.

They both laughed when they heard my voice crawling away in shame.

-It’s okay because the soup is completely separate.

-Oh, if you think it’s because you’re afraid of prying eyes, don’t worry! Arthur, I swear on my honor as a knight that I will not do anything foolish!

-I too will swear on Hohenstein’s name.

“Well, that’s what it means… .”

Perhaps because they thought I was embarrassed and afraid of being seen, they willingly swore that they would never do that.

… No, I think I should swear.

However, I was afraid that it would feel like making a fuss to swear to myself here, so I soaked myself in the bath without saying a word.

– Fondant.

‘Now that I think about it, what kind of swimsuits do the women here wear… ? Since the exposure is already bold, the swimsuit is a micro bikini or something… ?’

As I looked down at my hair fluttering in the warm water, I began to think about things that were really useless, but as a man I couldn’t bear it.

Then, I naturally imagined the two of them wearing swimsuits.

Arthur showing off his abs in a bikini, or Elizabeth wearing a slingshot…

‘… … !!!! Me, what am I thinking!!!’

-Jump up.

But my thoughts did not last long.

No, I was wandering around alone, imagining the swimsuits of my colleagues with whom I would go on future adventures. That’s something a pervert would do.

As if to punish my pathetic thoughts like a soggy, ugly sandwich, I slapped both cheeks hard to discipline my brain.

-Chuk chuk.

‘Don’t think in vain!! Even though this is a world where men and women are reversed. What are you thinking about these characters who believe in me!? This is betrayal!!’

-Angel, what’s going on? It sounds exactly like a slime jumping around.

-Arthur, why are you listening so intently to the sound of the warrior washing up? Stop it because you’re a pervert.

-I want to protect the angel… hmm? Didn’t Your Highness just continue to listen without saying a word?

-I-I just wanted to run away if something happened to the hero! Because monsters might attack!!

-Oh, as expected! My mindset as a shield soldier… … .

‘Come to your senses, you ugly bastard!!’

I could hear a conversation coming from beyond the wall, but it must have been women having girls’ talk or something.

I kept my mouth shut and tapped my cheek until all the bad thoughts escaped.

… The thing that got out of my head was after I wrote down the recipe for braised beef ribs twice, which was not enough to slap me in the face.

“Fuuu… … .”

‘… … As an apology, I should at least make something delicious for the two of you. Since I soaked myself in hot water, chicken with cold beer?’

After barely cooling my flushed face.

​

I started thinking about frying chicken for them both as an apology for thinking bad thoughts.

Drinking during an adventure is a bit weird, but…

Because it’s the first day. A glass of beer would be fine.

‘Half fried food, half seasoned, lots of radish…’ ah. ‘If I want to make chicken radish, I’ll have to buy more radishes.’

Then, it suddenly occurred to me that although I had a lot of chicken in my inventory, I had soaked the radish without leaving any radish.

… Anyway, I still have about 190,000 points left, so I guess I should just buy another 5kg pack and stock up on it.

Thanks to ‘Kronos’ blessing’, you don’t have to worry about it getting damaged.

‘then… ‘Shop window!’

-Tiring!

I took a light-hearted approach and used the shop window feature I gained after curing Elizabeth’s anorexia.

Then a translucent window filled the front of my eyes.

and… … …

A scream-like yell came out of my mouth.

[Current points held: 7,480,000 Pt (+7,290,000 Pt)]

“… … Eek!!!!?”

-… Warrior!? what’s the matter!!

-I can’t feel any signs of monsters… Angel, are you okay!?

-Answer, quickly!!!

‘Chi, seven hundred and forty-eight thousand points!!?’

I couldn’t pay attention to the noisy surroundings and raised my eyes wide.

The reason was because my points grew like a snowball.

I didn’t catch a single monster. why…

-Stop.

‘Wait, 729? Wasn’t this something God could have done?’

But suddenly a realization crossed my mind.

… Did they give me 10,000 points for the believer allowance I asked for, really?

‘Ah, anyway, that’s true. 7 million points for boiling some seolleongtang… .’

-gulp.

‘… … ‘Maybe it’s worth becoming an angel?’

… I gave in to temptation, forgetting that I had promised myself not to be an angel during the day.

There were so many things you could buy with just 200,000 points, but 7 million? Is it enough to buy 3.5 tons of radishes?

I’m embarrassed and hate being called an angel…

10,000 points per believer was too much to refuse.

‘What should I do… ? ‘Should we be corrupted by capitalism?’

-Splash splash.

I was so worried that I splashed around in the water.

I wonder if this problem will be solved if I kick the water.

———However, my brain full of worries was quickly reset.

-Kwaang!!

“Angel!! What happened… … !!!!?”

“… … ?”

When I heard a loud noise coming from the entrance, I instinctively turned my head.

and…

“… … Wow.”

When I saw Arthur standing at the entrance, I exclaimed in admiration, forgetting about the concept.

A tight black bikini that looks as if it will burst at any moment. Strong abs.

… It was very sexy and very pretty. If you had seen it up close, you might have had a nosebleed.

‘This is a game… !!!’

“Wife, wife, angel… … .”

Unlike me, whose heart was pounding and my mouth dry at the sight of such an erotic sight, Arthur for some reason stiffened at the entrance.

After that, the sound of pounding footsteps rang out.

– Panting.

“Warrior!!! What happened… this… … .”

And this time, the strawberry glutinous rice cake was outstanding.

Unlike Arthur, who stopped like a knife at the entrance, Elizabeth was unable to overcome her own speed and entered the men’s bathhouse a few steps further.

Thanks to this, I was able to see her swimsuit from a closer distance.

Unlike the cute design with frills, this bikini top doesn’t fit my body and weighs down my strawberry glutinous rice cake.

The bottoms were high-leg, emphasizing the sensuality, and the pareo wrapped around them as if to hide them conveyed a luxurious feel and curiosity at the same time.

In other words, it was very dirty.

“Wow, wow… … .”

‘Elizabeth, you wear a swimsuit well… .’

I opened my eyes the size of a lantern and permanently stored that swimsuit in my brain.

… Fortunately, my lower body was submerged in water, so there was no need to use the beef rib stew recipe to suppress menstrual symptoms like before.

‘Is it okay to see her in a swimsuit? Even if it wasn’t a world where men and women were reversed, this would be legal, right?’

“Yo, yo, warrior… … ?”

Then, suddenly, I barely took my eyes off the strawberry glutinous rice cake when I heard her voice calling me.

My eyes met Elizabeth’s.

“What’s wrong, Elizabeth?”

‘Okay, let’s not pretend to be surprised by just a swimsuit!! Concept, concept!!!’

As if I was embarrassed, I looked at Chae Elizabeth, who was wearing a mask of innocence.

Since most of my body was submerged anyway, I calmly trusted that the water would cover my lower body.

“That, over there, that… swimsuit… .”

“Swimsuit? Oh, of course I wore it. Elizabeth also has a really pretty swimsuit.”

-Splash splash.

“… … … !!!!!?”

But why? She is seriously embarrassed.

When she turned around to face him properly, Elizabeth took a deep breath.

It was as if I had seen something I shouldn’t have seen.

and…

Elizabeth’s eyes closed tightly.

“Why didn’t you wear a swimsuit!!!?”

“… yes? I wore it. You won’t be able to see it because it’s submerged in water… .”

“I definitely brought you a top too!!!!”

“… … Huh?”

And Elizabeth screamed for the bathhouse to float away.

It seemed as if he was reprimanding me for why I was dressed like that.

‘top? … Are you talking about that wide cloth that came with the trunk? Wasn’t it the towel they gave you to wipe yourself after you were done!?’

“Elizabeth, I was wrong… .”

“It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay!!! Nothing happened!!!!?”

“… … Nothing happened though.”

“Then I’ll go!!!! Arthur… Why are you fainting again!!!!?”

After that, Elizabeth somehow dragged Arthur, who was lying down with a nosebleed, out of the bathhouse.

Not even a glance in my direction.

​

I was wondering if it was something to react like that, but…

​

‘Why like that… no way?’

A sudden realization occurred to me.

​

I slowly lowered my head and checked my current status.

… Come to think of it, I was topless, right?

Unlike Korea, where it’s not a big deal for a man to show off, this is a world where men and women are reversed.

“Ah.”

‘This world where men and women are reversed… … ! ‘A man’s chest should be allowed at least!!!’

* * * * * *

… … After leaving the hot springs, I received profuse apologies from both of them.

Elizabeth bows 90 degrees, saying she’s sorry for yelling and saying she won’t tell anyone what she saw today.

​

Arthur took another drink and fell flat in front of me. It was a bonus to hit my head and say I would split my stomach.

“I’m fine, so let’s pretend it never happened. We’re going to be together from now on, so if something like this gets annoying, right?”

Of course, I forgave lightly.

If you’re embarrassed to show your upper body, you’re not a man.

“Warrior… … huh. okay. I will take care of you for the rest of your life.”

“I’m an angel… … .”

-Tiring!

[Acquired 1 believer through faithful actions.]

‘… ‘Arthur, do you really believe me?’

Although after that, their attitude toward me became even worse.

anyway. The first night of the adventure, which was full of stories and hardships, was coming to an end. The next morning.

After finishing breakfast, we decided to ride horses again and continue our journey.

Our first destination. Toward the forest of the World Tree.

‘Is the third hero an elf? Hehehe. I’m looking forward to it.’

* * * * * *

———Meanwhile, the World Tree Forest where the hero party is headed.

The sacred place of the elves, protected by the great world tree…

“Khahaha!!! It seems that there is no one who can deal with this Asterios!!! ruler!! Rape the men and kill all the women!!!”

-Gurgling.

“Kyaaa!!! Hey, let go of this!!! honey!! Elven knights!!! Please save me!!!”

“Wow, even if my body was fine, those things… … !!!”

The Four Heavenly Kings who once cut off Arthur’s arm. It was burning under the attack of Asterios.

The elves are shedding bloody tears and fighting desperately with their darkened arms.

The war situation is hopeless.

It was two weeks before the warrior party arrived at the World Tree Forest.
