Ch 94 — My Heart's Desire, Taking A Bath
Fer swiftly brought me out of the city and into a deserted part of the forest.
He erected a Barrier around a large area to ensure my safety and then headed off to hunt.
Me, I was in a hurry to have a bath.
First off I cast “Stone Wall” repeatedly inside Fer's Barrier, creating a roofless square-sided room with four walls.
I wanted to be able to look at the sky while enjoying my bath and if it rained? So what, I was going to get wet anyway.
I pulled my new bath (MY bath!) out of my Item Box and positioned it in the middle of my magical bathhouse.
“Sui, are you awake?” I enquired telepathically and Sui popped out of her bag.
“Fuh~…
whaaaat zit, Aruuuji…” Sui-chan was still sleepy.
She was finding her new bag very comfortable, it seemed.
“Sui, can you use your Water magic to fill this for me?” I indicated the bath.
“Sui, that's enough.” The flow of water from Sui's tentacle stopped when the bath was about 80% full.
Now for my Fire magic ….
“Fireball!” I made a small fireball and plopped it into the bath water.
The fireball disappeared in a sudden explosion of steam and boiling water.
Oops, maybe it was a bit too much…
I needed to stir the water but I had forgotten to get a paddle, I didn't want to scald my hand after all.
I needed other things for my bath anyway so I opened up Net Super and started ordering various necessities.
“Lessee, a paddle for stirring the bath, yes and body wash.” I personally prefer a liquid body wash soap to regular soap.
I added a bottle of rinse-in shampoo as it's less bother to use and it was just for me.
Towels, I bought some face towels and bath towels too.
Is that all? Oh, bath salts, something that would smell good and invigorate my skin.
I put everything into the shopping cart and fed the Net Super some coins to settle the bill.
A cardboard box with my order popped into view.
I stirred the bath water with the plastic paddle, waiting for it to cool down a bit and then I realised it was being kept at that temperature by the crushed mana stones embedded in the pottery.
It was a magical bath, after all, the water wouldn't cool down naturally.
Duh.
“How stupid of me…” I muttered to myself.
“Sui, can you add some cold water to the bath?” Sui-chan obliged, squirting cold water from a tentacle.
I gingerly put my hand in to the water to test it, thinking I should get a bath thermometer next time I ordered anything from the Net Super, but it was just right now.
Excellent.
I stripped off my clothes and began preparations to bathe by thoroughly washing my hair.
I'd only been able to wash my hair with plain water since I got here and it wasn't in the best of condition.
“Geh, the shampoo isn't lathering up at all, my hair is super-greasy after so long…” I added more shampoo after a first rinse and finally got bubbles to appear.
Thinking about the condition of my hair I washed my body down twice with the liquid soap from the Net Super.
I put some hot water from the bath in a large pot and washed each foot carefully.
I didn't want my new bath (MY bath!) to get dirty footprints in it after all.
“Okay, my feet are clean!”
Finally I sprinkled bath salts into the bath and stirred them until they dissolved in the hot water.
They were a favourite choice of mine with a citrus-y smell.
I paused, savouring the moment, before I got into the bath.
“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo”
After such a long time without having a bath, I couldn't stop moaning as I finally got to soak myself properly again.
I patted the rim of the bath (MY bath!) contentedly.
“Ohhhh yes, having a bath feels grrreat…”
“Aruji-, does being in the water make you feel good?” Sui asked me curiously.
“Oh yes, the water's nice and hot, so it feels good.” I thought for a moment.
“Do you want to come in too, Sui?”
“Uh-huh-” Splash, and Sui was floating in the bath beside me.
“Oh, you're right.
This warm water feels good.
The smell is good too~” Sui seemed to like being in the bath.
Myself, I stretched out, feeling the knots and tensions in my body dissolve in the hot water.
The smell of citrus wafting from the bath water added a relaxing effect to the overdue experience.
Life is good, I decided, bathing is best.
I looked up at the open sky above me.
It is a wonderful thing to take a bath while looking up at a blue sky.
Paradise, paradise.
Japanese people can not live without a bath.
This is simply a fact.
I thoroughly enjoyed my bath with Sui.
I took a long indulgent bath.
The water stayed hot because of the magical properties of the crushed mana stones in the pottery and I didn't have to add more hot water half-way through.
The bath had been expensive but boy was it worth it, I decided.
First of all I erased the Stone Walls of my temporary bath-house using my Earth magic.
“Sui, can you get rid of this water and all the foam bubbles?” I asked.
I didn't want to just tip the water out on the ground, it would become muddy.
“I understand~” Sui burbled and turned into her Giant Slime form before splitting up into a host of Little Suis who sucked up the bath water and froth, cleaning everything up nicely.
“I want to drink something cold after a bath.” I decided so I bought some milk coffee from the Net Super.
Sui-chan had been in the bath with me so I bought her some fruit-flavoured milk.
“Sui, this is delicious when you drink it after having a bath.” I explained as I put the fruit milk in a dish for her.
“Wow, it's true.
It's cold, sweet and delicious-” she said, sucking up the fruit milk with a tentacle.
Yeah, for me drinking cold sweet milk coffee just after a bath hits the spot.
