--eventually, when the night was completely over and the only people walking down the main street were the ones coming and going from the tavern.

　Me and Garnett were leaving everyone else and leaving the Springtime Wakaba-Tei and heading back to our home, which is a bit further from town.

'...... Oh, crap. You're right, you missed the frame up too much: ......

　Garnet sat down on the couch with ungainly steps and leaned back limply.

It's not a good idea to drink that spirit because it's the kind of thing you shouldn't normally drink when you're your age. You know what happens when you empty my cup while I'm not looking,
'It's fine - ...... I was just wondering what kind of stuff you're drinking: ......'

　It's a very good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you like - it's not a full story, but as expected, you need to take care of your body.

　I'm not going to be able to get it right, but I'm going to be able to get it right away.

'Here, Erica's pills (the ones) and rehydration. You'll be in trouble if you drag it out tomorrow.
'Sorry ...... but it's getting better after a break ......
You're not careful. I'm going to take a quick bath, but if you feel like throwing up, save it for tomorrow.

　I let Garnett rest in the living room while I get ready for the bath that has been pulled into my home.

　Green Hollow Town is a spa town in the mountains.

　In other parts of the world, boiling water, which could only be prepared by burning fuel, comes from the bottom of the ground, one after another.

　There are many public baths for ordinary residents, as well as hot springs that used to be open to tourists and are now open to adventurers, and the majority of residents are said to have taken at least one bath every day.

　However, perhaps due to the development of public baths, the prevalence of home baths is quite low, contrary to the residents' preference for bathing.

　It is said that it is much easier to go to the public baths every day than to have to pay for hot spring water and bathroom maintenance.

　In our case, our house is located on a mountain road a bit far from the town, and it was a bit of a hassle to walk back and forth just to take a bath, so we decided to install a bath at home.

　This is why I decided to install a bath tub at my house.

So much for hot and cold water and ...... body wash while it pours.

　While filling the bathtub with hot water using Alexia's respectful plumbing system, I took off my clothes and removed my artificial right arm.

　This prosthetic limb is water resistant, and even if it falls in the water while exploring the dungeon, its function won't be impaired, but that only means that 'no problems will arise in replacing the function of the arm'.

　The part that holds the prosthetic limb to the body is made of ordinary cloth or leather, so if it gets wet, it will be uncomfortable to wear until it dries.

　Water on the body would be wiped off if the belt was wiped off, but the water that had soaked into the belt would not dry immediately, and it would dampen the clothing.

　This kind of problem is not something that can be solved by a clever technical solution.

'Well, then ......'

　Placing my right arm in the undressing basket, I walked into the bathroom and prepared to wash myself with only my left arm.

　As I scrub my torso with a lathered sponge (sponge), Garnett's voice is thrown at me through the door.

'Hey, Luke. You're going to maintain your right arm when you get up there, right?　I've got it ready in the living room, just in case.
Thanks for the help.
And I'll wash your back and your left arm for you.
'Oh, come on, you can't say that ......

　By the time I tried to laugh it off as a joke, it was too late.

　The door that had been turned away was thrown open and Garnett climbed in, as it should have been.

'Oh, ......!'

　I couldn't help but look back as I sat down in the bathroom chair.

　Then, I looked over my shoulder at Garnett, who was crouched behind me, and she smiled at me.

'You, hey ......'
It's okay. Let me have a go at it once in a while.

　Since we were just at eye level with each other, and yet there was almost no distance between us, the only thing in sight was from Garnett's shoulders up.

　But even just by looking at that category, I could tell that Garnett was not only washing his back, but also intending to soak in the bathtub like this.

'Here, give me the sponge.

　Garnett reaches an arm over my shoulder from close range and snatches the foamy sponge (sponge) from my hand.

　At this point, I've completely lost all interest in resisting, and I've given up trying to let Garnett do what he wants anyway.

　It's not like he's a boy growing up, both physically and mentally.

　It would be embarrassing for him to be so flustered and distraught.

　Garnett was rubbing my back in a good mood and then suddenly let out a mutter.

...... I knew you were big, your back is huge. I'm jealous of you.
If I had a bad physique with no good skills, I wouldn't have lived this long and would have died in the wild. But this isn't much compared to my peers.
You mean like Travis?　You can't compare those things.

　Garnett laughed merrily, as if he hadn't yet lost his alcohol level.

　Then he switched the sponge to his left hand and began gently stroking the section of my right arm with his free right hand.

'It doesn't hurt ......, does it?
Yeah. I've got it tightly plugged. Don't worry about it: ......

　Before I had time to say another word, Garnett hugged me back supplely and rested his chin on my shoulder.

'...... Hey, Luke. Why don't you join me in a little soliloquy?
