424-It doesn't seem to work as I expected






 I was driven into a corner by the shocking no-guard strategy, but I succeeded in convincing Mr. Lilliwood with a revitalizing move.
 Of course, the damage I've sustained is enormous, and it looks like my toughest battle is still to come.
 Well, as it is........if it's not my imagination, what's up with Liliwood-san's hair.......the leaves are being shipped?

 Lilliwood, who originally had a long haircut, but now it's even longer than that... or rather, it looks like it's eroding the surface of the hot tub more and more! I'm getting more! This is definitely an increase!

...Um, Mr. Lillywood?
"Yes?
What's going on with your hair... or rather the leaves?
''Oh, I'm sorry. I just felt so comfortable...

 ........Mr. Lillywood, do you get more hair when you feel good? Oh, but by the way, when I was tired before, my hair was dead... apparently, Mr. Lillywood's hair changes depending on the conditions.
 

'Oh, by the way, was it onsen? I haven't used it much, but how do you enjoy the human race?'
'Hmmm. I guess so. Of course I enjoy looking at the scenery and washing up normally, but I also drink alcohol while soaking in the tub.
''I see... I can prepare 'fruit wine' right away, but how about it, if you don't mind?
'What? Oh, yes. If you can have it, I'd love to have it.

 I've never drunk much fruit wine... or rather, I've never drunk almost anything but beer in the original world, so I'm interested in it, and I just bought it for a change of pace, so I'm grateful for the suggestion.

''Then, please wait a moment...''

 As he announced this, a branch grew out of Mr. Liliwood's hair and the fruit of a familiar world tree appeared.
 The fruit is then shaped as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand, and the overflowing juice is poured into a wooden cup that is ready to be used before you know it.
 After squeezing the juice from a few fruits, Liliwood holds up his hand and the wooden cup is enveloped in a faint light, and after a few seconds, the light subsides.

'Yes, please,'
Thank you very much.

 Fruit wine made right before my eyes.......fruit from the world tree.......it's a luxurious product, but that's why it looks so delicious.
 The aroma is strong, but it's not piercing, it's soft, like a blessing from nature.

 Well then, since it's time to try some freshly made ones..... 
 Eh? Huh? That means the alcohol in this cup was made by Lilliwood, which means that I can think of it as 'a part of her body'. Can you get in?

 Oh, shit, I thought something weird! But, dude, what am I going to do? After what happened earlier, I'm completely aware of it.
 But I can't say that I'm too embarrassed to ask for a drink now that I've asked for it on my own....

".........Kaito-san?
'What? Yes, I'll take it!

 When he called out to me, I hurriedly took a sip of the fruit wine.
 As I took a sip, the mellow aroma spread in my mouth and stimulated my brain with a tremendous taste. I should say it was a quintessential product, but because of my strange imagination, I felt dizzy with each sip.

 Thinking that this was not good, I downed my drink in one go and called out to Liliwood-san.
 ''Art of War I forget what the meter is, but let's run away and regain our stance.

''Ri, Mr. Liliwood, I'm going to........or go wash up!

 After I said it, I realized that I had said it.
 And still.........

''Oh, then I'll flush your back.''

 They won't let me go. A little bit, I think all the Six Kings are too good at defending themselves, is that it? Is this the same logic as not being able to escape in a boss fight?

'No, no, no, we can't let Mr. Lillywood bother us...'
''No, I'd love to help you. You've been a great help to me, Kite, on a daily basis.
...yes, yes...

 The smile of 100% purity made me sink to the floor.
 To be honest, I'm indebted to Liliwood-san, but I don't remember being indebted to her at all, but when she showed me such pure goodwill, I couldn't say anything.

 Well, well, calm down it should be all right now. Mr. Liliwood-san has properly agreed to hide his body, and he has no worries about breaking it due to his serious nature.
 Then you'll just have to have your back flushed normally. Of course you'll be nervous, but there should be no problem.....

 However, as if to ridicule me as I stepped out of the bathtub with such a thought in mind, I heard Liliwood-san's voice from behind me.


Yes?

 Taking care not to look back at Liliwood-san's voice, I replied.......

''Well, the towel is too small to wrap around my chest........''
....

 I see, it seems that a towel that isn't as big as a face towel, but isn't very large, isn't strong enough to hide Liliwood-san's body.

''........Is it okay if I grow out my hair to cover it up?''
Yes.

 Dear Mom, Dad--I don't know if I'm okay or not right now. But one thing is for sure, this whole back flushing thing is not going to work out the way I want it to.
