Book 9: Chapter 13: The Spirit Sisters’ Bath

Book 9: Chapter 13: The Spirit Sisters’ Bath

We ate breakfast with Halt-sama and everyone.

Halt-sama even praised me for the magnificently grilled fish.

Were cleaning up and washing the dishes now, but I still cant stop grinning.

Halt-sama always praises his wives whenever we do our chores.

Well done he always calls out to us just to say this.

Actually, Im not really fond of cleaning and doing chores. I like cooking, though.

But no matter how boring a chore is, if Halt-sama praises us then it makes me feel like I can do my best.

Moreover, he patted me on the head on his way out of the dining room. He even told me that the meal was delicious.

Thats why Im grinning broadly, more than usual.

Being praised by Halt-sama is pure happiness.

Its not because Im a spirit that formed a contract with him.

I really love Halt-sama.

Being praised by the person you love is the happiest feeling, you know, and it makes your heart go all warm and fluffy.

Okay, Im going to give it my all so that hell praise me more.

Mai, can I talk to you for a sec?

Yes, Halt-sama. What is it?

Were about to finish washing the dishes, when Halt-sama suddenly went to the kitchen.

Im going to train in swordsmanship with Tina and Elmia. Well definitely sweat it out, so can I request hot water for the bath?

I understand.

Halt-samas bath in this mansion is really spacious. Theres plenty of space even after around 20 people entered at the same time.

Gathering hot water for such a huge bath is probably difficult.

But then, Im a Fire Spirit.

Mei is a Water Spirit, so if she and I worked together, getting enough hot water should be a piece of cake.

And so, putting hot water in this mansions bath is our, these spirit sisters, job.

Because this chore is assigned to us, they lessened the amount of work we have to do in this mansion.

We felt kinda guilty that we can avoid doing the other chores just because of this job that would only take a few minutes.

But then, Halt-sama is okay with it, so I guess its fine.

I heated the mass of water that Mei conjured using this powerful fire that could never be extinguished.

Just a few seconds and it reached the perfect temperature.

So comfortable.

I didnt just warm it up, of course.

Physical strength and mana would be fully restored just by soaking in this water, and it would also extend life for a bit.

A ten-minute bath will extend your life by about a day, I think.

If Mei conjured Holy Water, instead

Coupled with the effect of Primal Fire, lifespan could be extended for one year if yout ake a bath once a day.

Still, Holy Water isnt as precious as Spirit Water, but its still very valuable.

Even Mei couldnt produce Holy Water.

What a pity.

Oh, may I enter the bath?

Seira, the former Saintess, also came.

Back when she was still the Saintess, she would take a bath numerous times in a day, so it seemed that she loved taking a bath.

Whenever we warmed the bath, Seira would be the first one to come most days.

Yes, its fine. Can we also join you? (Mai and Mei)

Of course. Lets enter the bath together.

Halt-samas training should end soon. He will enter the bath together after.

All of Halt-samas wives would enter the bath with him.

The excuse was the water would get cold, but actually, hot water warmed by Primal Fire can keep its temperature for a day.

Well, for the sake of taking a bath with Halt-sama, Ill never gonna expose that.

By the way, its a bit embarrassing to barge on Halt-sama whenever hes taking a bath.

Nevertheless, I love taking it with him.

Thats why were going to enter ahead of him.
