Side Story: Elegant Bathing for Bath Enthusiast

Night.

“Fuu...”

Such a voice escaped from Nell’s mouth as she soaked in the bubbling bathtub.

The bath salts given by Yuki had been added to the bathtub, so the bathtub had a faintly pleasant aroma, making it very comfortable.

It was as if the fatigue of the day was slowly melting away from deep within her body.

–This was inside one of the church-managed dormitories in the royal capital.

Recently, Nell had been working not in the Royal Capital but in Alfiero, a remote town, and could return to the dungeon every day if there was nothing going on, but since she had been in the Royal Capital on business in the past few days, she could only soak in the bath of the room assigned to her after work to relax and recover from her fatigue.

This bath was actually built within the past year, and was prepared at Nell’s request.

Nell, who had grown accustomed to bathing every day in the dungeon, could no longer stand the days without it, so one day she said, “Please make me a bath! I’ll pay for it!” asking the church leaders to build a bathroom for her, and so they built it.

Nell even went to the trouble of breaking up a room in the dormitory.

Nell herself was aware that she had been quite selfish, but she was a “bathroom enthusiast” and was prepared to go to war for the sake of a bath.

Not allowed to take a bath? Fine, then war it would be.

Creek! Creek! Creek! Creek!

With her full force, Nell dared to aim for the attack and won a special bath only for her use.

The hot spring bath in Yuki’s place had numerous effects, such as restoring physical and magical strength, and other benefits that would fit it to be called a “secret bath” perfectly.

This bath made for her in the royal capital was also reasonably spacious and comfortable, since it was built in a renovated room, but... Nell, who inevitably compared it to the bath in the dungeon, couldn’t help but think of the bath she was using as so-so.

In fact, despite the spaciousness of the bath, the fact that she was the only one there made her feel relatively lonely.

Since Nell takes a particularly long bath, it was common in their house for someone else to come in while she was taking a bath.

During that time, Nell would speak with family members about unimportant things, one after another, until her body was completely warmed up, at which point she would get out of the bath.

There was a part of her that enjoyed chatting with her family members while soaking in the bath, and that was why she took a long bath.

Yuki was a little cautious about this, and would mostly take a bath at a slightly different time from the women so that they could have their private time, but they would also occasionally soak in the bath together, shoulder to shoulder, to relax.

How blissful that time was!

“...Fufu...when did I become so selfish?”

She could not help but feel dissatisfied with the environment in the Royal Capital, which would be considered a luxury for her past self.

In reality, Nell could return home as soon as she wanted to, and yet despite being a little self-indulgent, she still couldn’t help but continue her work.

‘No, no, if I keep thinking like this, I’ll want to go home right now.’

‘I still have work to do.’

‘If I continue to feel like this, I will become depressed.’

“Okay! I have to work hard again tomorrow!”

With renewed vigor, she got her body out of the bathtub.
