That night.

　After a grand welcome party presented by a coalition of girls, led by Uzuki, Timothy and others, I was alone in a hot spring.

　I was alone in the hot spring of the Sakurais' house.

''Ah........nice water.......really comes alive.......''

　The flaccid voice that came out of my mouth spontaneously disappeared into the night sky of the open-air bath without anyone listening.

　While enjoying the hot spring bath in a completely relaxed mode, I was thinking back to this turbulent day.

　Well, it's been half a month since I was reborn in another world.
　I can't remember ever having a day that wasn't turbulent.

　But that's beside the point.

　The first thing I did was to meet and admire Timothy.
　I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.

　I was attacked by the "Sword Fiend General" Glenn.
　Moreover, he was again SS-class strong, and in a hurry we were about to lose.

　When I managed to fight off the attack, Naiya talked about the resurrection of the Demon King.

　Furthermore, they wanted me to become the Grand Duke.
　I was puzzled by the suddenness of the news, and then my companion (family) Sasha assured me of the support of Travis and Company.

"Well, they say it's better to carry a light portable shrine...

　Let's see, why was it better to be light?
　Well, since it's so proverbial, the lighter the better for the person at the top.

　And so my life in the other world shows no signs of settling down as usual...

At least you can completely forget all the troublesome things while you're in this exquisite spa...

　When I'm lazily throwing my legs up, my mouth half open, exposing my stupid face, and sinking into the hot water - and

Excuse me...

　I heard the opening of the door of the changing room, and then a girl approached me.

　The girl, who came in timidly, hiding her important parts with a towel, was

'Oh, the spa girl of the day is Timothy--not that!　Why is Timothy in the spa!

　I don't think so!

　Because I don't know if it's the other girls I've already gotten to know, but I just met Timothy today, right?

　Or is this normal for girls in this world?
　Actually, this is an alternate world where men and women normally bathe together in a bath on the day they meet!

　What's too good to be true?

Well, Uzuki-san said, 'Seya-san's in there right now.

Uzuki...

　What the hell are you talking about?
　What's the point of 'please'?

　First, definitely kindness (?). What is it?

'No, no, no, no, Timothy should have refused to do this before Uzuki...'

　The very obvious conclusion, however.

Uzuki-san is the host of this house, and I wondered if that was the culture in the eastern frontier. They say, "When in Rome, do as the locals do." I was ashamed of my lack of study, but I was brave enough to come and bathe with him. I was ashamed of my lack of study, but I had the courage to come and bathe with him.

As expected, we don't have a naked communicative bath culture... or maybe I'm new here too, so I'm not sure.

'I know...'

　As he said that, Timothy's cheeks started to turn redder and redder.
　After all this time, embarrassment seemed to be surging through him at a furious pace.

　That's right.
　Normally you don't expose your nakedness to the opposite s*x on the day you meet them.

　I could see that Timothy's hand, which had grabbed a towel to cover his body, was squeezed tightly.

　So this is how it is.

　There were two naturals, Uzuki and Timothy, the serious type, who looked a lot like each other.

　And when they talked to each other, they took their natural idiosyncrasies to heart, and as a result, they ended up in big trouble.

'Ugh, it seems it was all a misunderstanding on my part. I'm sorry for interrupting your relaxation. I'm going to go up now and--

　And with that, Timothy was about to leave the spa.

Well, I'm not interrupting you, okay?　Yeah, I'm not disturbing you at all.

　I couldn't help but keep him back - I had to keep him back.
