 Val and Meena came to a spa facility in a state.
 It was a high-class facility where royalty and aristocrats also came to visit.
 They were free to use it because of the prestige of the Eight Divine Merit.

''Although the Eight Divine Brilliance is cramped, I think this kind of privilege is wonderful.

Yes.

 Meena countered Val's words.
 It would have been more correct to say that she is here to keep him company.
 He is aware of that, but no matter how much Meena is, he won't go along with something he really doesn't like.
 He understands that as well, so he doesn't shy away from it.
 The high-class facility had one large male and one female bath on the ground floor, three family bathrooms, the second floor was for dining facilities and the third floor was for accommodation.
 They rented out one of the family baths.

There is another option, though, called the women's bath.

 Val said, and Meena responded immediately.

'If anyone other than Master Val sees my skin, I want to kill him.

That's a no-no.

 She had a straight face, so he instantly gave up on persuading her.
 It was because he couldn't make an a-hazardous hell in a hot spring.
 Since then, they had decided to take a family bath together.
 Meena didn't seem to mind as long as Val could see her, and she didn't cover her body with a towel.
 It would be a feast for the eyes to see her beautiful white bare skin without a single blemish being sparingly displayed.

(But I'm unwilling to assume he's inviting her out for her nakedness.)

 Oddly enough, Val, who was serious about it, was quite seriously worried about it.
 Even so, he still ended up giving in to his 'greed to get into the hot springs', so he was rather concerned about the reputation of the people around him.
 Those who know them would agree that if you ask Yagami Teru, you have three choices: click your tongue, get tired, or laugh bitterly.

''It's a nice bath.''

Yeah.

 They closed their eyes as they slowly soaked in the hot spring.
 It's not that I don't like the idea of it, I just like the idea of it being a mixed bathing date in a hot spring, but it's not a s*xy duo.

...... You could also come to ...... night, watch the moon and have a drink.

Liquor. Would you like me to go get you some?

 Hearing Val's murmurings, Meena suggests.

'No, you can stock up on them upstairs. The nobles come here too, so we've got a good selection.

 He laughed and replied.

'I understand.'

 They leave together after a while.
 The undressing room was needlessly large, so there was plenty of room for at least two people.

''What do you want to do after this?''

'Go to the store, have a drink, put something in your stomach and linger. You linger too.

I'm sorry, sir.

 No one said it was okay for the two Yagami Akira to do that.
 If there's anything, there's an emergency call with magic tools, and if Meena is with them, they can return anywhere in a flash.
 It's the reason for such a lazy trip.
 Val properly hides his face by wearing a mask.
 There were other users in this facility, so they couldn't show their true faces.
 Val and the others went upstairs to the restaurant and ordered drinks and food and were given a key to a private room.
 All the seats were private and soundproofed, probably because they were used by the nobility and the wealthy.
 However, it is a common belief that no one holds secret meetings here, as talking in secret would be conspicuous in this room.
 It was not important to Val.

'Oh?'

 The other patrons are first drawn to Meena's beauty.
 Then, they thought that the other party was 'Vilhemina, the Goddess of Condemnation' from her emerald eyes and hurriedly looked away.
 Vilhemina's looks, abilities and personality were quite famous, and when it comes to nobles and wealthy people, there are no more brave men who would try to woo her.

''These eyes are also useful once in a while.

 Meena guessed roughly from their reactions and said in a voice that only Val could hear.
 She was unperturbed by their frightened looks.
 It's very much like her to say that she doesn't care what people think of her, no matter what they think of her.
 Even Val is thankful to be able to avoid any trouble, so she only smiles at him.
 I think it's obvious that it's Bartolomeus just because he's the masked person that Mina is with, though.
