Part 10

Excitedly, Krum took off her outfit.

「Yosh, wash me!」

Diablo thought about it.

──How did it turn out like this?

Diablo gave an explanation about the water tub.

「This is, something to wash the body with.」

「Hou……?」

It seemed that she did not understand.

「Since the Lifelia Kingdom is arid, it doesn’t have the smell of sweat, but even so, I feel like I want to be hygienic, you see.」

「Fumu fumu……?」

「To begin with, do Demon Kings have the concepts of “hygiene” and “unsanitary”?」

「Occasionally, you use words that I do not understand the meaning of, don’t you -noda na!」

──As I thought, with the cultural sphere of the Middle Ages, she doesn’t understand.

Since germs and viruses weren’t discovered (although it was unknown if they even existed in this other world), there wasn’t the concept of sterilization.

Even so, fortunately enough, toilets existed in the Lifelia Kingdom. Bathtubs weren’t popularized, but they did exist among the nobles and in high class inns.

Underwear was also widely used.

Wonderful!

In the Middle Ages of his original world, both toilets and underwear weren’t popularized. It was said that they would put a pot in the corner of the room, and dump it into the back alleys from the windows……

So harsh.

He occasionally read about it in literary creations where the story was staged not in other worlds but in the real Middle Ages but……

No matter how cute of a heroine they were, they would do it on the wayside. Moreover, since paper was a super high-class item, something like toilet paper did not exist. And if they were commoners, they would also have no underwear──Diablo ended up thinking about such things. It was something quite harsh.

Putting that aside, he tried to teach Krum about the concept of hygiene, but it was difficult.

Getting tired of it midway, he drastically simplified it.

「Ahー……In other words……Since it feels good, I wash myself.」

「I see! So it feels good. That is important!」

It didn’t get through to her, but he got her to consent to it.

However, after that, he received an unforeseen request from Krum.

「Maou also wants to try it out -noda!」

「Mu? That it, I do not mind but……」

「Well then, I shall have you wash me!」

The moment she said that, Krum took off her outfit.

Diablo panicked.

「Wh, what!?」

「What is it? When washing the body, you take off the clothes, right?」

「That is right but……」

*Shun* The ends of Krum’s eyebrows dropped.

──It was probably because the water was cold, surely.

*Fururu* She trembled.

*Chupapa……* A sound started to be made, and in the water that was gathered in the tub, a gold color mixed in.

Diablo reflexively half rose to his feet.

「Oh!?」

「Fuan……Nnn……Ah……It, it looks like……it came out.」

「So it came outー」

「Nhaa～……Diablo. Washing the body……it feels good -noda naa」

「Y, yeah, so you understand.」

「Un.」

With an absent minded expression, Krum nodded.

After that, he thoroughly washed her again.
