In the end, we didn't make it to the next village before nightfall.

Gau gau.

After taking a bath in the morning, Kamui naturally remembered his promise and urged me to wash my hands all over. I know, I know. After dinner.

What kind of food do you guys eat when you're like this?

We eat barbecue most of the time.

Oh, it's usually a casserole. It's the quickest way. Of course you'll eat with us, right?

Hot pot. It's not bad.

Let's do it. Then you can leave the heat to me. Just chop the ingredients and put them in the pot and I'll do the rest.

I don't need to make a pot if I can do it.

I don't need to set up the kettle. Please!

Tatsu took the ingredients out of the magic cabinet and had the woman he had bought them from cut them up. The pot is filled with water, miso and other ingredients. I'm not sure what to do.

"Floating body.

"Fireball.

Slowly and slowly over low heat. It's a pretty big pot, isn't it?

It's about time.

"Water manipulation.

I'm going to put it in a bowl for each person. It's a good idea to use a ladle.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.

That's right. I didn't even spill a drop of soup.

It's delicious. It's like a pork soup with lots of mushrooms.

"Oh, that ...... demon lord ...... is delicious .......

Did she finally speak? You've been walking around in silence since noon. I don't know if you call her "Demon King" too.

I'm glad to hear that. I'm sure you'll have a great time.

The other women were also eating, albeit with some trepidation. The two bandits were ignored. The other women were also eating, though with some trepidation.

It was delicious. Thanks for the food. You've got some pretty good ingredients. You must be well traveled.

"Well, yes. It would be convenient if we had a carriage, though. You don't want to have more things to protect and you'll be an easy target. In the end, the best way to travel is to walk on your own feet.

"That's true. Well, here's my thanks for the food. You can take a bath later. You can take a bath later, because I have to wash this wolf first.

Oh, wow, ...... a bath in the middle of nowhere. ...... morning, huh? I'm not sure what to do. I've got that thing in my magic cabinet.

That's fine. Oh, and don't peek, okay? You can look at Alec's beautiful legs and glistening chest all you want, but if you look beyond that, you're dead.

No, you idiot! I'm not going to do something so horrible! Come on, get in here!

This has to be a joke. It's impossible to get past my defenses and peek at Alec, of course.

"......

Thanks for your help, Carth. It's not easy washing Kamui's hands.

That's right. She's getting more extravagant by the minute. It's cute, though. Hey, Kamui?

"Gurgling.

Don't forget to brush your hair after bathing? I didn't forget. Just let me take my time.

Hey, hey, Carth, ...... more importantly, ...... I'm going to have to, you know, punish you. ......

I'm sure Alec hasn't forgotten either. He's a bad boy.

I'll see you later. Let's sweat it out first.

The heat didn't let up after dark, though. Is it going to be another tropical night tonight?

By the way, I don't need to use any magic to protect myself from bugs, Tatsu has been burning insect repellent incense. It doesn't work on demons, but it works on most bugs.

"Uh-huh, .......

I'm not sure what to make of this. It's cute.

Okay, let's get up there. First, dry yourself off and have a glass of ...... cold water after your bath. It's so good!

I'm going to brush my hair without putting on any clothes. I'm going to sweat again anyway. By the way, Alec said he couldn't wait and went into the pyramid shelter first. It's nice and cool in there in the summer.

Thanks for waiting. I'm going to bed. You can keep watch at night as you like. In the meantime, I'll leave this wolf, Kamui, outside. If you have any trouble, you can ask him for some meat. You know Tatsu, don't you? Kamui is super strong.

Come on, Kamui.

"Gurgle.

"Pew pew.

Oh, I see you're joining us, Co. Thank you.

I've just finished bathing, so I'm wearing a T-shirt and pants.

I've just finished bathing, so I'm wearing a T-shirt and underwear. It's a great way to get a good night's sleep.

You can do whatever you want. If there is a demon out there that even Kamui can't handle,......, it's nothing. Good night.

"Oh, oh ...... good night .......

Well, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I've been waiting for you for a while now. Hmmm.
