Part 1

And so, the festival began.

I like festivals. Luke and Liz also love to have fun. Sytry isn’t averse to festive things too, and Anthem is a good brother who prioritizes his sisters first, so we are used to always being festive and making a lot of noise.

And then we will get scolded by Lucia.

It used to be just a small event, but as a result of an increase in money and power we have, it has now turned into a reasonably large one. Treasure Hunters are often people who seek momentary pleasures, but I have never seen anyone else do anything as large scale as our Party.

The only entrance that existed was closed off by an earthen wall, and the spacious space was filled with dense steam. A large amount of food and alcohol on a nearby table, mixed with the smell of the hot spring, formed a chaotic space.

The soil underneath our feet was *pikapika* shiny and hardened like ceramic, so water wouldn’t seep in, and the soles of our feet wouldn’t get dirty.

.

“Wooooooooooh, Onseeeeeeeeeen!! Cry, order me a dragon too!” (Luke)

Luke roared loudly enough that he could have annoyed neighbors and took a grand plunge into the Onsen. There was a big splash and it almost hit the food, but it was repulsed by an invisible wall. It was a nice assist from Lucia.

Seeing this, Liz’s pouted, and without hesitation, she untied her obi and slipped off her yukata. Her well-tanned skin glistened lustrously in the hot light.

...... Apparently, she wasn’t wearing any underwear. She took off her clothes with such an imposing manner like she didn’t care about being seen. She was embarrassed in the Garest Mountains, but looks like she isn’t embarrassed now.

Her Relic has been deactivated, and her legs, which were always hidden, have grown slender and are now slightly sexy. The standby form of Rise to Heaven hanging on her ankles was a nice accent.

“Not fair~! I was planning to go in first~!” (Liz)

“One-Onee-sama~!? You can’t...... You can’t do that in front of Master~, i-it is too immodest!” (Tino)

On the other hand, Tino turned red and snapped at Liz. Liz raised her eyebrows and yelled at her modest apprentice.

“Shaddup Ti! There’s nothing to be embarrassed about after all that happened~! We’re not between people who will get embarrassed after seeing some skin~! If you don’t want to go in the Onsen, why don’t you do something else!?”

“No way――” (Tino)

“Liz.” (Cry)

“!! Masteeer~!” (Tino)

As if she had received help from heaven, Tino smiled brightly.

I said while hitting a soft sponge to Liz who had a curious look on her face and, like Luke, wasn’t hiding herself.

“It is not good if you don’t wash your body before going in.” (Cry)

“Yeeeees! As expected of Cry-chan, you get what I mean~!” (Liz)

“Master~!?” (Tino)

Tino’s voice rose up like she was screaming as Liz’s eyes livened up. But Liz was right, unfortunately, it is now too late to care about that.

Liz screamed as she lifted her alcohol-soaked hair.

“What are you doing, that’s mean~!” (Liz)

“This is...... The drunken sword? Is this a training for the drunken sword?” (Luke)

Their skin was wet and sparkling because of the alcohol. Tino, who had taken off her yukata and was wrapped in a towel around her body, said in fear while her Onii-sama and Onee-sama looked unconcerned even though they were covered in sake.

“Master~...... Is this what you call pond of wine, forest of meat?” (Tino)

I wonder what she meant when you said that.

“Well, why don’t you have some food?” (Cry)

“While looking like this... It is embarrassing, Master~.” (Tino)

Tino looked down at her appearance and shook her shoulders. Tino had a long towel covering her entire body. It was wrapped and fixed tightly around her so that it wouldn’t fall off. She always wore an outfit that showed off her shoulders, so it didn’t make much difference in terms of exposure, but her white skin was stained red because of the steam. Her shoulders seemed to be quite hunched forward.

“Thank you for your hard work, Onii-chan. Did you bring back that thing we were talking about?” (Sytry)

“............ Umu. I left it in the Imperial Capital.” (Anthem)

A little farther away, Sytry, wrapped in a towel like Tino, was washing Anthem’s back, while he was sitting on the floor, with a soapy mop. It looked as if she was cleaning a large wall, but it was in reality what people call washing someone’s back.

Sytry was also *nikoniko* smiling and seemed to be enjoying herself. It was sibling love. His back was so tall that she even needed to use a stepping stool to rub all of his back.

Anthem’s back was as huge as a rock, and with muscle buffing all over. The countless old scars on him were proof that he was always at the forefront and had taken innumerable attacks for us.

Anthem is the cornerstone of our Party’s defense and at the same time, he is the “Healer (Kaifuku-yaku)” of Strange Grief. His healing magic is so powerful that the country’s top officials come to him for help, but the only thing about healing magic is that it doesn’t work on the user himself.

It didn’t seem to be hurting him, but looking at his back, I can’t help but think that it was thanks to him that I have never been hurt.

I stood up, took my floating ring, and went near Anthem.

“Anthem, thanks for your hard work. It has been a while so let me wash your back too.” (Cry)

“Umu.” (Anthem)

“Are you sure? Ah, then instead, I will wash your back for you, Cry-san! You are fine with that right, Onii-chan?” (Sytry)

“...... Umu.” (Anthem)

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

The chapter is quite long and I wanted to split it into 3 parts but as it’s the last chapter of the arc I’ll do my best and just do like usual and split it only into 2 parts!

But this chapter reminds me of One Piece at the end of each arc when they party hard with everyone! I particularly like the one they did on Skypeia. (Small aside, damn the Wano arc is getting epic!)

But most importantly the light novel have a pic of this scene! It’s so good!

Tchao à plus!
