142-141.5 Nightmare




'No, sister! You can't go in there!

'Huh? Why do I have to be told that by Tee?'

The peach-colored yukata-wearing sister glares at Tino with a scowl.


Tino's back is to a door leading to the outdoor baths. The bathhouse had been destroyed in the dragon riots, but the inn was high-class and each room had an open-air bath.
Tino also took a bath in his room, which was large enough to accommodate several people even if they spread their arms and legs, and was a very comfortable hot spring. It was indeed smaller than the large baths, but there was no shortage of facilities and no dragons. It was so luxurious that it made me feel guilty.

If you want to take a bath in a hot spring, you can do so as much as you like. But it was Tino who didn't know why he had to be told.
There is a very small humming sound coming from behind the door. Tino stands in front of his sister with his hands spread wide, his voice trembling as he shouts.

'Masutaa is taking a bath right now! Please take a bath in your own room!

I don't understand. Why is this master going to the trouble of taking a bath in Masutaa's room when there is a bath in his private room?
No, I know what you mean. Your sister likes Masutaa, and judging from her usual behavior, she's not the type to suppress her emotions.

But even so-- it's too much to overlook.

That's why Tino is here. He is standing in front of the door, having changed out of the yukata that Masutaa complimented him on and into his usual costume.
Tino took a deep breath and said to his sister, who had a fiery energy in her eyes.

'Are you ready, sister? Mastaa told me to keep an eye on you!

'Hmm. Why don't you keep watch? Out of my way.'

'I told Mastaa. Your sister would never do such a shameful thing!

Tino's sensibilities would never allow a member of the opposite s*x to intrude on her while she was bathing. She was dying of embarrassment to even fight a dragon in an unavoidable emergency.

I knew my sister would do it. I've always seen her touching Masutaa without any reservation at all.
But Tino believed you. He believed her. He didn't expect to be betrayed on his first day on duty.

When she heard the words of her apprentice, she put her hands on her hips and narrowed her eyes in disgust. The yukata suited her slender figure very well. The "Origin Leading to Heaven" that she always wears seems to be in standby mode at the moment.
The yukata is difficult to move in. It's not a battle suit. Perhaps she thought it would be easier to go barefoot if something were to happen.

'Shame on you, ....... Are you kidding me when you say you don't like naked men? What? You can't fight a naked man if he's naked?

What? Please don't change the subject! I'm guarding this place because Masutaa asked me to!

I can fight as many enemies as I want. I'll even surprise you while you're taking a bath if I have to.
But this time I'm not the enemy. I'm not the enemy.

But your sister didn't seem to understand. She's looking at me as if she's questioning my sanity.

'Hmm... Well, whatever. I'll say it again, get out of the way. I'm going to wash Cry-chan's back.

'No, you can't! Sister, please understand .......'

'I'm in the same party as Cry-chan. I've been with her since she was a little girl, and we've even bathed together. ...... Don't worry, I'll tell her that Tee listened to me.

'............'

'It's okay.

Tino takes his stance silently. Right foot forward, posture low. Calm your breathing and look at your sister.

I'm sure I'm begging for mercy right now.
Even with the disadvantage of the yukata, Tino probably can't stop you. She is outmatched in agility, strength, and everything else.

She blinked her eyes and tilted her head. She rolls up her long sleeves, interlocks the fingers of her hands, and says.

'Hmm ...... Tee, are you ............ getting stronger by any chance? I can't believe you're defying me. ......'

'Oh, it's your education, sister.

The first order of business is Mastaaa. Second is Mastaa, and third and fourth are Mastaa.

Check the perimeter. As we knew, there's nothing that could be used as a weapon. We can't risk messing up Mastaa's room. All we have is ourselves.
I remember when I put on the mask. My emotions were running high and I couldn't make a calm decision, but I remembered how I carried myself.
If I use all my strength, I might be able to restrain you.

She's serious. You can see it in her glowing eyes.
She frowned at Tino's determination, but then gave a small sigh and said something unexpected.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

' Huh?

'You can do your escorting in the open-air bath, right? Too clever. ...... Oh, that's right. Tee, come with me. You'll be more tolerant of naked men, and I'll teach you how to wash your back. Two birds with one stone, right?



Do you want to go to ...... with your sister? Where to? Do you want your back ...... flushed? Whose?

For a moment I didn't understand what was being said, but soon I understood what was being said and my mind went blank.
The beating of my heart accelerates, and I feel like I can't stay here any longer. I tie my lips tightly. I'm sure my face is turning red now.

Mastaaa's back? I can't. Absolutely not.
Maybe ...... even if Mastaa ordered me to do it, I can't do it. I'd die of embarrassment.

It was only for a moment that I was upset. But when I came to, your sister was at close range.
Her hands grabbed Tino's wrists roughly and pulled with great force.

She pushed the door open easily and went inside.
--With Tino in her grasp.

'Hey, Cry! You're lonely by yourself, aren't you? I'll wash your back!

'Lady, no! Mastaa, please run!

A faint steam caresses my cheek. Your sister begins to undo the sash with her free hand, without shame or hesitation.
All Tino could do was close his eyes as hard as he could, hug her, and try to restrain her.

'That's my line, but ...... Tee-chan, what are you doing?'

I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not, but I have. The place is, needless to say, in front of the door of the outdoor bath in Mastaa's room.
A cool-colored yukata that differed from her sister's suited her well. She was holding a white cloth in her right hand, and her eyes were twinkling frequently.

Her eyes did not have the same energy as her sister's, but they showed a deep intelligence.
Sister Sitri did not raise her voice. She was silent for a while, then suddenly put her finger to her lips and said.

'Are you ...... peeping at me?

'No, I'm not! Mastaa told me to protect this place!

'Oh, ...... thank goodness. If Tee-chan was such a bad girl, I would have had to punish her.''

A chill ran down my spine. I've never thought of peeping.
I've never thought of peeping, but I wonder what would have happened if Tino's goal had really been peeping. .......

I feel the difference between you and your sister strongly again.
She's violent, but she doesn't suspect Tino. Citri is calm, but she is always on the lookout for people who approach Mastaa. Friend or foe, it doesn't matter.

'Well, good luck.

With a smile on her face, she tried to walk past Tino. The natural movement of the girl slowed her down, but she hurriedly caught her arm.
If it had been you, you wouldn't have made it in time.

'Wait, wait, please! What, are you trying to do! Murata is taking a bath right now!

'? Of course, I was going to wash her back...

'?

She's acting just like her sister. And she's not too shy about it.

I caught her arm tightly and spun her body to move her away from the door, her eyes rolling back in her head.
You can't be too careful. Too tricky. With you, it seems only natural that Masutaa had you guard the door.

'No, no! Sister Sitri, you're a trifle! I've been told by Mastaa not to go through here!

Fortunately, big sister Cicely is in the rear guard. Tino's physical ability is higher. As long as she doesn't get caught unconscious like she did earlier, she should be fine.
As Tino desperately guarded the door, Sister Sitri blinked her eyes and tilted her head.

'Huh? I'm sure you've heard of it, but I'm not sure if you have.

'......What?'

Incorrect ...... solution?
In the event that you've got a lot more than one, you'll be able to get a lot more.

'Tee-chan, you think I'm going to ...... serve you naked, don't you? I'm not.

The teasing tone of her voice instantly sets my face on fire. My skin turns red up to my ears.
That's what I was thinking. I've been thinking about it for a while.


I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to try. It's not the same, is it?

'No, no, no. I'm not like Tee-chan, I'm not a pimp. ...... Look, I brought my bathing suit.

She smiled and unfolded the white cloth in her hand.
I thought it was a bath towel, but it turned out to be a white bathing suit. The cloth was loose and thin, and slightly resembled a yukata.

'If you wear this and wash your back, you won't have to show any skin, you see?

'Nah, I see. ............'

'Giggle, I don't show my skin that easily. You're not like your sister.''

'I'm sorry, I misunderstood. ......'

I didn't think you had it in you. ...... As expected of you, Sister Sitri, you know a lot. I've only ever known hot springs where you go naked, so I've always had a preconceived notion that that's how it's done.
It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your vacation.

The door closed quietly. Tino regained his composure and took a deep breath.



'.....................?'

He blinked his eyes a couple of times and turned his gaze gently to the door behind him.

He stared at the door, which made no sound, for a while and thought about it, then came to his senses and rushed to knock on the door.

I'm not sure what to do. I don't care! I don't care about your bathing suit! You can't go in there! Sister Cicely!

In the first place, such a thin bathing suit--and it's white, it's going to be transparent when it gets wet. Maybe it will show through even if it doesn't get wet.
There's no way you wouldn't notice that. She's completely sure of it. She said that she doesn't show her skin easily, but it's suspicious when she goes to wash her back.

'Mastaaaa, please run away!

Tino hesitated for a moment, but quickly made up his mind.
It's all my fault. I have to live up to Mastaa's expectations. I have to protect Masutaa from you, big sister Citri!

Closing his eyes tightly, Tino took a deep breath and jumped into the door.






' '

'Angya?

A round, light blue dragon that looked familiar tilted its head at Tino.
Tino also tilted his head at the sight of it. Behind him is the door to the outdoor bath.

Why would there be a dragon indoors?
