The bath ban is finally lifted!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The curing period that my master had told me was over, and I could now take a bath at home!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I decide to head for the bath as soon as I wake up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Aisha is still sleeping next to me, so I quietly slip out of the covers so as not to wake her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As soon as I get into the bath, I can smell the indescribable scent of the trees in the air.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's just so relaxing!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Immediately, from the storage bag, I put 5 pebbles of [Always: Water] into the depression in the top of the bath tub.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

By placing one on each side, the water will fill up at a great rate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When the water passes through the depression at the bottom of the tub, a pebble of [Always: Heat] is put in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then, the pebbles on each side are filled with a paste of [Always: Heat] x5.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then the water heats up and steam rises.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes! Success! I was happy with ......, but it was a big failure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Gradually, the water went beyond hot water to boiling water, and by the time the water was full, it began to boil over and over.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh no! The heat was too much!!!!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Immediately, I cut off the [Always: Heat] and put it back in the original pebble, took out the [Always: Water] as well, and threw both into the storage bag.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am stunned to see the bathtub, which looks like a cauldron of hell from a picture book.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......I've done it, what should I do with ...... this?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess I'll have to drain the hot water and add water to dilute it, after all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I open the lid of the outlet on the side of the tub, hot water comes out with a strong steam.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Close the lid of the outlet when the water is about half full.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In case you get burned, you must remember to put [Regeneration] and activate [Fire Resistance].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After confirming that the lid is safely closed, I put the [Regeneration] back on the original pebble, and this time, I put the [Always: Water] x3 in the depression at the top again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, it seems to have worked this time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This may take some getting used to. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, at any rate, the bath is ready.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I immediately take off my nightclothes and take a shoulder-deep bath in the bathtub.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... How nice it feels.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The morning bath I took at Gin-no-Rin-tei was pleasant, but this bath feels even better.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Not only do I feel tiredness leaving me, but I also feel as if I am slowly gaining strength.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And the smell of this wood is even better.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mine, are you taking a bath?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm, something like this has happened before: .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Umm, yes. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As expected, a naked Aisha walks in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hehehe, I'm here."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thus, I took a morning bath with Aisha again, and after being fully satisfied, we both left the bath together.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The topic of conversation over breakfast was, of course, the bath.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's a great bath, isn't it! I think it felt better than the Silver Bell Pavilion."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, my body still feels warm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You did a great job, master. I'll have to thank you next time."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

While we were talking about such topics, I heard voices coming from the front door.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I was about to get up, Aisha stood up and said, "I'll go," and walked to the front door.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... hmm? Aisha sounds surprised, what's going on?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I got up to go check on her, but Aisha came back with a troubled look on her face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's going on?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... hmm? There's someone behind you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, it's Sylphy! I'm a little early. I don't even know who some of the men are.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Who the hell is that? I've never seen him before. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mister, I'd like to introduce you to my brother."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"My name is Alto Augusta, and you are my sister's fiancé ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A strange man ......, the first prince of this country, the next king, sits in front of me and observes me intently.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Aisha seems to be very shy in front of the prince.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm sorry, sir. ...... my brother insisted on coming with me. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I told him many times to wait until we came to King's Landing, ...... but as you can see, he is stubborn."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sylphy bows her head apologetically to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Actually, my brother is a bit of a sissy ......, and he doesn't like the fact that I'm going to marry .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So he said he would see with his own eyes if I was the right man for his wife, and he forced me to go with him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mmm, mmm!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He must have heard Sylphy's whisper.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The prince coughs deliberately.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But of course I'm worried.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think it's natural to be worried when you hear that your pretty sister, the princess, is marrying me, a commoner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's a natural thought even if you're not a cis-con.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Even though it's a random marriage, I've decided to become a family with them, so I have to get their approval somehow!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Speaking of which, what's the Holy Bow doing here?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Perhaps wanting to change the subject, the prince suddenly asked about Aisha.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He might know Aisha as well as Sylphy, since he calls her by her second name.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hm? Did you not tell your brother that Aisha is marrying the Master together with me?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When Sylphy said that, I thought I saw the prince's temples twitch.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I might have offended you in some way. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, a bigamist is not a good image.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Isn't it the worst impression by any chance?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Well, okay. By the way, you said Mine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Would you be so kind as to show me what you're made of? I'm putting my sister in charge.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Let me see if I have the strength to protect my sister ...... and the Holy Bow, as a brother and a man, if I have the strength to protect two women."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, when I marry Sylphy, I'll be your brother-in-law.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I want to get along with him and have his approval.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's go for it!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes! I'd love to have you!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I reply, full of energy as usual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, that's a good answer. Well then, let's have a hand-to-hand combat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

One-handed sword, holy Lv 7

Arm strength enhancement, large level 6

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Auxiliary magic, speed increase lv5

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Wow, that's great. ...... the same skill set as the king. No, he even has auxiliary magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is this the reason why Aisha said that the royal family promotes marriages between people with superior skills?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But my skill set is now more dominant than yours, so I think I can probably handle it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The question is how much skill to use.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think I will try to shorten the battle time as much as possible and limit and hide the skills I use.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not sure if I'll be able to get a good deal on ...... but I need to be recognized as a man who can take charge of Sylphy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's fight fair and square even if we are at a disadvantage!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"First of all, let me remind you that this is a mock battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Do not be reckless or overdo it, so please understand that."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's a good answer! You defeated the Orc King single-handedly, so use all your strength."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Saying this, he throws a wooden dagger toward me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

By the time I receive it, the prince is already ready for battle, his wooden sword ready in one hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I have no choice but to take the wooden dagger in my hand and assume a stance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In order to respond to the prince, I activate [Body Strengthening - Large level 3], [Arm Strength Strengthening - Extreme level 2], and [Leg Strength Strengthening - Small level 3].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Ho......I see, what's wrong, it won't hang on?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Probably understanding my self-enhancement, the prince's body becomes lighter and his posture deepens.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The prince used his ...... skill, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If you don't come, I'm coming!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The prince rushed in at great speed!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What? What? I thought I didn't have the [Enhanced Leg Strength], but this speed!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I see... ...... [auxiliary magic, increased speed]!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I was surprised by his movement, the prince suddenly disappeared from my sight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Aaah!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Before I knew what was happening, I felt a tremendously heavy impact on my right side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I took the impact without being prepared for it, and was blown several meters away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What the hell happened ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I tried to stand up, the prince was already swinging his wooden sword down in front of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I quickly tried to catch it with the dagger in my hand, but the impact knocked it out of my hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The prince's wooden sword hit me right in the shoulder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ugh!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What a lot of openings! Read your opponent's moves better!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, he's absurdly strong. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How can he be so strong when he's not even more skilled than me? .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The first aid is to treat the damage with [Magic - Recovery Large] and use [Auxiliary Magic - Gradual Recovery Large (Strength) LV2].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

<......Hmmm......Now recovery......... interesting...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think he's whispering something, but I'm ready now!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Now it's our turn!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He activates [Shunshin(Small) LV2] and rushes into the prince's bosom, trying to get into his pocket as fast as he can.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, yes! That's the spirit that counts! ...... but."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ignoring the prince's mutterings, he reached into his pocket at once, aimed at the prince's dove tail, and swung his right arm out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I've got a [Fighting - Extreme Lv 4], I'm not going to get away with this!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......, but my best attack didn't even graze the prince, and on the contrary, the counter attack hit him and blew him away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nonsense, why didn't I hit him? .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Blood is pouring down from my forehead, as if I had hit him when I was blown away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Brother, you've gone too far! Quit already!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mine!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I hear Sylphy and Aisha screaming.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......We can't lose! .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He staggers to his feet and manages to get into position.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......There's a lot to see here. But you need to learn more about your own strength and how to use it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Take this defeat and make it your food for thought!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The prince's words were the last I heard as my consciousness plunged into darkness.
