The Hidden World's

Eps.25 Hot Water Bath

We and Yamato parted at the inn door. Two servants accompanied us. One male servant and one female servant. At first I thought the male and female hot spring baths were in different places. Apparently not. The baths remained in one place, separated only by wooden walls. We could talk to each other from behind the wall.

The hot spring in this place is the best. Maybe it's because I haven't had a shower in a long time. It felt so comfortable that I could feel the water moving all over my body.

"Aaaahhh~ is the best. I am so grateful to be able to come to this place!" Arthur exclaimed from behind the wall.

"Are you grateful to come to a place even though you might die?"

"Nana, isn't that too evil? But if I can be honest, even if I have to die, I don't care. As long as there are many lives I can save. I'm not sorry about that."

"Arthur, sometimes you can be mature too, yeah! I feel proud."

"What makes you proud, Layla? I'm not your son and I'm not your girlfriend either."

"Who would want to have a boyfriend like you! People who have a character are annoying and always upset."

"There, man! Lina, you want to be my girlfriend?"

"Well, yeah! It's up to you!"

"I'm serious, Lina. After this I will state it correctly. I hope you can accept my gift." Arthur's tone of voice was slightly lower than before.

Did he really mean that? Ah, I shouldn't get carried away just because of the word of a crackle prick like him. I am very familiar with his character. He's not someone who can be serious about something like this.

After an hour or so of soaking in the hot spring, we finally dried ourselves and put on the clothes the waiter had brought. This outfit looks similar to the one worn by Liya and Yamato.

"According to you guys, is this the clothes that the inn has provided?" I looked at the clothes, flipping them.

"Eitherway. But among our friends, only Liya wears it. After all, this size is too big for us, right?" Nana raised her eyebrows, looking at the clothes she was holding.

This dress is too big for us. Maybe the inn already does not have the right size for us. I wear pants without criticizing. Moments after I had perfectly fitted the pants, suddenly the pants were tapers, sticking perfectly to the skin.

"Well, technology like this reminds me of one of the novels I read." I muttered. Nana and Layla who were beside me also immediately tried on their clothes. The same thing happened. It turns out that this clothing has technology that can adjust to the body shape of the wearer.

After we finished putting on our clothes and getting a bit of hair done, we walked out. At the door was a servant who had been waiting for us. She was very sincere as a servant. Is it because they expect a lot from us and think we can set them free?

The waiter led us out like before. When I arrived outside the bathhouse, I was surprised to see Arthur's appearance. The clothes he wears are just like ours. Because clothes like this adjust the body shape of the wearer, Arthur's body muscles become clearly formed.

Arthur looked very different when he was wearing that shirt. The back that is usually always a bit bent, now looks very sturdy. Arthur also has a good body shape. The body that all men dream of, I guess.

Arthur turned his head towards me, looking at me with a gentle and friendly gaze. Whatisthis? Is he really the Arthur I know? His aura was inversely proportional from before.

We walked back to the inn. I'm more silent than ever. Every now and then I stare at Arthur's stature and at that moment this feeling I can't describe arises. It was as if this feeling wanted to convey its own meaning to me.

When I arrived at the inn, I was immediately escorted to my room. This room is simple but comfortable. The mattress here is also quite large, but it will feel cramped if used by two people. I threw my body on the soft bed. My mind drifted somewhere. I can't focus at all.

"I why, siiih?!!!" I whine, roll around in bed. This feeling makes me very uncomfortable.

"Lina, are you inside?"

As I was sinking with my own feelings, suddenly someone knocked on the door while calling my name. Hearing that familiar voice I immediately rushed to open the door.

"Yamato, what's wrong?" I grinned wide. I don't know what my exprea looks like right now. I'm just trying to look okay. Although actually I am fine, but the feeling that comes suddenly makes me frustrated.

"I just want to say that tomorrow we're going to train together at the training ground."

"Two?!"

"Are you kidding? Of course with your friends and also some people I know."

"Ah, okay. Nothing else you want to say?"

"Nothing, but what happened. You look very tense."

"No, no! I'm just exhausted. No need to ignore." I waved my hand while smiling. Yamato scrunched up a jidat, looking at me strangely.

"It's night, I want to sleep. See you in the morning!" I slammed the door slowly, locked it. I know my attitude is very disrespectful, but I must not look strange in front of Yamato.

I decided to go to sleep, hoping that by morning this feeling would have disappeared. But in fact, I couldn't sleep at all. Isn't this what we call torture? Aarrgh!!!! I want to hit something.

Tok.dok...

The sound of knocking on the door sounded. Who's knocking on the door at this hour? I looked at the clock on the wall. It's eleven o'clock in the evening. Is that maybe the 'guard' of this place?

"No, no. Where is possible, right? There's nothing like that." I took a breath, trying to convince myself. Right, something like a ghost doesn't exist, does it? When I had grasped the doorknob, my movements stopped. In this world even things that only exist in fairy tales come true. Are ghosts real?

"Who?" I asked from behind the door. I waited a few seconds, no answer. I swallowed spit. Why didn't he answer?

"ጌጎነልጕልዘ ጕጎፕል ጌጎርልዪል ነቿጌቿክፕልዪ? ልዕል ሃልክኗ ጎክቻጎክ ልጕሁ ፕልክሃልጕልክ የልዕልጠሁ. ፕዐረዐክኗ ጌሁጕል የጎክፕሁክሃል. ልጕሁ ጌሁጕልክ ዐዪልክኗ ጋልዘልኗ, የቿዪርልሃልረልዘ."

"HAAAAAHHH?!!!!"
