The first thing to do at the hot springs was to divide them into men’s and women’s baths.

‘It would be nice to have a mixed bath for families, but I think a lot of people will use it once it’s used.’

We also had to hire someone to manage the hot springs there.

‘I think it should be done by someone with good skills and operational ability.’

Since you live in the dark forest, you must be at least 4th level or higher and have management skills.

“I should leave it to Mandelina and Lev.”

Nymph Doctor Mandelia was a former knight and therefore skilled, and Rev was a nymph with a wide knowledge.

‘They say hot springs are good for your health, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea for Rev to use them while he relaxes.’

The next thing to think about was how to open the hot springs.

‘Because there is a distance.’

Even if you use a carriage, you can only use it twice a day.

In that case, I couldn’t accept many people rashly.

‘I think it would be good to make it like a resort.’

Although this is the only safe place in the Dark Forest, it must also be taken into account that the people of Lugeron Village are fundamentally afraid of the Dark Forest.

“There’s more to do than I thought.”

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that this wasn’t something that could be finished today.

‘I need to discuss this with Elsia and Gloria next time.’

I cut down the black trees around the area to make a men’s and women’s bathhouse, and then soaked in the hot spring to wipe off the sweat from my work.

“Refreshing.”

After a long time, I treated my body to hot spring water, and it felt like even the fatigue I didn’t know I had was disappearing.

“Are you under a lot of stress these days? I’m starting to feel sleepy.”

“Meow~”

A black object approached me as I was resting and sweating.

“Kamiya? I was wondering where you were, but you were here.”

“Nyaaang~”

Perhaps because he was the son of the Black Tiger, Kami did not hesitate to wander through the dark forest.

To be honest, I wondered if there was anything scary about Kami. He was the son of a mountain man.

“Kamiya, are you feeling good too?”

“Meow!”

Far from disliking the hot spring water, Kami actually enjoys it.

Even though it is clearly a feline monster.

‘Ah, Kami was a tiger.’

Tigers are part of the feline family, but unlike cats, they are friendly with water.

There’s a reason tigers are called water cats.

“Then, let’s take a bath together.”

“Hnyaaa~”

As expected of a highly intelligent monster, Kami began to sag like an old person.

You’re still a kid, and you’re already feeling the hardships of life?

“By the way, what should I do with the monster in the basement?”

“cat?”

“If three 2nd-tier knights support me, hunting will be possible. Where can I get three 2nd-tier knights?”

Unlike the third rank, there were officially only ten second rank knights.

‘Oh, including Camilla, there are eleven.’

Five of them are members of the Empire and are active throughout the Empire, and the other five are from the Holy Kingdom, and with the exception of Camilla and Sir Peredil, they are all protecting the Pope.

The last one was romantically wandering the world as an independent.

“Camilla and Sir Peredil could probably use some help.”

The power was one person short.

“If I tell the Emperor, will he give me support?”

Although it was unofficial, all five members of the Black Sky Knights were second-rank or higher skilled.

‘Since they are all descendants of emperors, their skills must be great.’

In that sense, the emperor was a strong man of the second or higher rank.

‘If you think about it, the power of the empire is absurd.’

There were many second-tier powerhouses in the empire who I couldn’t even guarantee victory against.

To be honest, if it weren’t for the catastrophic existence of the monster, the evil forces would have been dealt with long ago.

“Kamiya, just in case, don’t go into the Underground Forest of Darkness. There are scary monsters inside.”

“Meow.”

Kami didn’t seem to understand what I was saying, so he ignored me and went his own way.

As expected of a tiger, he is a heartless guy.

“I should go there soon too.”

Petra would wake up soon, so I had to prepare dinner.

“I wonder if there’s anything edible in the inventory? If not, maybe I should hunt… Hmm?”

As I was walking back to the house in the forest, I could faintly hear a woman’s moaning.

‘Did the parasite attack?’

The only plant monster in the Dark Forest. It is relatively weak, but it is vicious because it uses paralyzing poison to grow roots inside living things and suck out their bodily fluids.

Of course, there is a possibility that Petra masturbates at home, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t imagine Petra, who is stubborn, masturbating. And that too in someone else’s house.

As I was pondering for a short time, I heard Petra’s voice.

“Cyan… ”

A voice calling me longingly.

Without further ado, I broke down the door and went inside the house.

“Petra! I’m here!”

“City, city?”

“Huh?”

Fortunately, Petra wasn’t being attacked by a parasite. She was just masturbating.

When we were both too embarrassed to say anything, I spoke carefully to lighten the mood.

“Petra, you’re a woman too.”

“Get out now! Get out now!”

“No, this is my house.”

I was forced to flee due to Petra’s violence.

‘I’m going crazy too.’

Somehow I happened to see my childhood friend masturbating.

Can we go back to how things used to be?

…

I prepared a delicious dinner, but Petra had no appetite and ate the food piecemeal.

It seems like he’s still worried about what happened in the afternoon.

“Hey, I worked hard to make this, so enjoy it.”

“Shut up.”

“…..”

Instead, I ended up getting scolded. No, I did nothing wrong.

‘It’s the guy who masturbated in someone else’s house who is at fault.’

It was a story that I couldn’t bring myself to bring up, so we quietly went through dinner.

Because I’m the one who’s going through the most trouble.

After finishing our meal, we prepared to return to the village tomorrow.

‘It’s awkward.’

We didn’t say anything to each other to avoid discomfort, but that actually made it more uncomfortable.

Finally, unable to bear the discomfort, I spoke to Petra.

“Petra, since you’re here, why not try the hot springs?”

“Now?”

“I have to visit the grave early tomorrow morning and leave right away so I can arrive in the evening. If I don’t do it now, I won’t be able to use it.”

“…Okay.”

Petra answered listlessly and quietly headed towards the hot springs.

So, I was left alone, so I quickly cleaned up and went straight to bed.

‘I should sleep first.’

I couldn’t sleep, but I pretended to sleep. There was no need to stay awake and be in an uncomfortable position.

‘Petra will be refreshed tomorrow morning.’

I closed my eyes and lay down for a while with that thought, when suddenly I heard a strange sound.

“Hmph, Siaan!”

I was looking for Petragana after she came back from her bath.

I tried to ignore it and continue to sleep, but Petra wouldn’t leave me alone.

“Hey, stop pretending to sleep and wake up!”

Petra tried to wake me up by poking my cheek with her finger, but I ignored her and wrapped myself tightly in the blanket.

“Huh! You want to go all the way? Yeah, let’s see who wins until the end.”

Petra, whose tongue-twisted voice and strange pronunciation were suddenly on top of me.

Maybe because she had just taken a bath, her scent tickled my nose.

“I will definitely build it.”

After saying that and wasting time vaguely, he stuck his face out close enough that their breaths could touch each other.

I tried to ignore it just in case, but Petra was crazier than I imagined and suddenly she stole my lips.

“Woof?!”

I couldn’t help but open my eyes in surprise.

“Wow! I won.”

“Pe,Petra?”

Petra was climbing onto my body naked. Her slightly flushed face and faint scent of alcohol told me what kind of condition she was in.

“You, did you drink the alcohol you prepared to use when you visit the grave?”

“What? Visiting the grave? Oh, I drank.”

Looking at his really drunk appearance, it seems like he’s been drinking.

“All that high-proof liquor?”

“Yeah, I drank it while taking a bath.”

My father liked strong alcohol. I didn’t know it in the past, but when I think about my father’s life, I can’t help but want strong alcohol. Tom, my father’s close friend, prepared strong alcohol for my father.

Petra, now an adult, drank a whole bottle of that kind of alcohol. And she did it while bathing in a hot spring!

‘Like father, like daughter!’

I tried to calm Petra down right away, but Petra, who was drunk like Tom’s daughter, started talking nonsense.

“Does Cyan hate me? Am I unladylike?”

“I don’t know what being feminine is, but I don’t hate you, I like you.”

“Then why aren’t you interested?

“No… ”

It seems that Petra had me in mind.

‘What on earth do you like about me?’

I’m a man who has had multiple lovers, but that’s only because of my ability.

But now that I’m married and have been seeing many women, it’s strange that he still has feelings for me.

‘Wouldn’t it be nice if I were handsome?’

Petra spoke in a weak voice, not knowing whether she knew my feelings or not.

“Compared to Chloe and Clara, are your breasts smaller?”

“The chest is important, but not now. Petra, you’re drunk and talking nonsense. Calm down. ”

“Ugh! I’m drunk!”

Petra, who had been tapping my chest, suddenly hugged me and looked up at me with an unusually fragile expression.

“Xian, if you really like me… kiss me.”

Petra’s question left me quite embarrassed.

To be honest, Petra was too drunk, but I couldn’t just leave her alone while she was drunk.

“That’s… ”

Eventually I had to make a decision.
