The next day after yesterday's big feast and the first bath.
I sent Hayato and the others back to the royal capital, and I was allowed to take a break at Hayato's house in the royal capital.

Ituki-san. Please wait for a moment.
Yeah. I'll make you wait while I slowly recover my magic.

I'll sit down on the sofa and let you drink the magic recovery potion.
Hayato and Fried are heading to the treasure house to hear my wish.

I want the power to fight. I know it's shameless, but if possible, if you have any weapons that you aren't using, I'd like to borrow them. I'm not saying it's going to be a quick fix, but it would help me increase my strength. Well, what do you think........''

Buy it yourself. It's natural to think that.
I think it's obvious.
But this is a world where accessories also have special abilities and their status is largely reflected in the world.
Rather than buying ordinary weapons, borrowing what Hayato has would be a little better for me, no matter how weak I am.
To be honest, with skills and statuses that aren't suitable for combat, I thought it was better to ask for it originally, rather than pretend it was no good.

Itzki-san?　'Fighting... does that mean you're going to be an adventurer?'
'No, I don't think so. It's just that I'm afraid to fight, and I don't want to actively fight. I don't like the idea of not being able to do anything...'

When he said that, Hayato was a bit dumbfounded, but when Freed tapped him on the shoulder and nodded, Hayato checked with Freed.

''As I recall, all of my weapons were in the mansion's treasure room, right?''
Yes, sir. Yes, everything is intact.
Okay. Then I'll lend you everything. I'll give you this... this... thing from that list.
''No, I don't mean all of them.......if you let me try a few of them and then let me borrow them or buy them....
The same type of weapon also varies greatly in terms of weight, length and ease of swinging. The same type of weapon can vary greatly in weight, length, and ease of swinging, etc. Moreover, you won't know if it can be used in long term combat until you try it out. If you can, it's better to try as many as you can, and some weapons have special powers, so the more of them you have, the better!

Oh, you're a quintessential hero.
I guess the number of shuras I've dived under must be different.
I was only thinking about the weight and length of it.

''Then........sorry. Can I ask you to do it?''
'Yes!　It's something I didn't use to begin with, and if I can help you, Itsuki-san!''

And so, Hayato is currently asking him to go get his weapon.

Brother!
Oh, what's up, Chris?
Let's go for it!
Oh, yeah.

Chris is so excited that he takes my hand and shakes it buzzingly.
Um ... what ... what's going on?

Chris is learning to shoot these days. He said he doesn't want to be stuck in the dark. He doesn't want to have to be protected.
'Yes!　I want to fight with you all ... together!
Well Chris, too. Yeah. We're going to do this together!
'It's a match between your brother and Chris to see who gets stronger faster!　But Chris had a gift for the bow!　It's a shot in the dark!
No, it's not that... well, my eyes have been feeling better since you used the elixir...
But you can still shoot anyone who moves in the dark, so that's impressive.
Oohhhh...

Chris gets embarrassingly small when he is praised.
He's great, but he's so humble....

'And yet, it seems you had a reason to fight. When I first met you, you seemed unmotivated and disappointing.
Yeah. But that's good, I guess.
Well, people change when things change. And they don't want to be actively involved in the fight. I just want to be able to protect myself at least as much as possible.
'I think that's fine!　If your brother can protect himself, White and the others can fight as hard as they can, so their offensive power will increase!

Well I'm the one who's currently holding me back....
I'm probably the most likely candidate to be in trouble.
If possible, I'd like to avoid that kind of situation, but there's no guarantee that there won't be a case like this one.
I don't want to regret that I should have trained myself when the same thing happens again.

''Sorry for the wait!
Welcome back. That's quite a lot of work...

The amount of weapons Hayato carried on a dolly with the weapons upright, it looks like there are dozens of weapons at least, if not more.
I activated the inhalation (input) and cooperated with Hayato to contain them in the magical space, but when I hold them in my hands, they are still weapons.........................I think about the obvious.
Come to think of it, this is the first time I've ever held a proper weapon in my hands, isn't it?

But ... they're all awesome.
There are things that were dropped in the dungeon. I originally ended up fighting mostly with the 'Holy Sword of Light (Excalibur)', and I keep my spare weapons in my magic bag, so I don't really use this one, so feel free to use it!
'I see. I'm glad if it's not a burden on Hayato since I asked him to do something recklessly. As a thank you, I made a recovery potion for you to use, so use it.

I woke up early this morning and prepared a parting gift for Hayato and the others who are heading to the dungeon.
I prepared a large amount of recovery potions and elixirs.

''Wow!　Thank you!
No, I'm sorry it's the only thing I can do, but...

If it were true, I would have given everyone an accessory.... but unfortunately, I was completely short on materials and time.

''No, no!　You can never have too much!　We'll take good care of it!
'It's best to be in a situation where you don't use it, though...'
'That's well but it's something I have to do.
Yeah, I know. I know. Just make sure you come home.
Yes!

Along with Hayato's reply, Letty and the others nodded.

''Well, good luck then.''
'Yes!　Good luck with that, Itzuki-san!
Yeah. I'll let you know when we have a weapon. Okay, thank you. I'll see you later.

I raise my hand and say 'then' and everyone responds.
I looked around at everyone's faces before returning to Utopora in transition.


When I return from Hayato's house, Makoto is next.
Shall I send Shin and the others home too?　I asked him if he had a horse, but he said he had a horse and wanted to travel slowly.

'Well then, brother!　We're going to have to leave now!
Oh. Good luck.
'Yes!　I'll be visiting Ains Hale next time I'm there!
You're welcome to join me then.

If you are a true adventurer who continues to travel from journey to journey, you will eventually come to Ains Hale.
At that time, I'll let you stay at my house and at least serve you a reasonably lavish meal.

Thank you very much, Itsuki-san. I'm sorry for the soy sauce as well...
You too. We had a bounty on our hands.

Mika and I were able to exchange ingredients.
We exchanged dried fish and other items that could be used to make soup stock, and we also offered a small amount of soy sauce, snacks and recovery potions.

Then, Aina-san. I'll be in touch with you soon.
Ah, Mika-dono. It's nice to meet you from now on.
Yes!

Unbeknownst to me, Aina and Mika seemed to be getting along well with each other.
It seemed that they had exchanged contact information with their guild cards.

''........That girl has actually been a fan of Aina's since she first became an adventurer.
Is that so?
Yeah. Aina has this kind of...gallant female knightly quality to her, right?
'Yes. That's the impression I got.
That's why I have a lot of girl fans.
I see...

A dignified woman can be better looking than a badly dressed man.......


Hm. Misa again.
You know what? You have to try it.
'I learned a good lesson. I'll try.
Yeah. Let's just cut the bones.
White has the monopoly on the Lord!

There is something unsettling going on over there.
What in the world will be the test for me?

"That sister, she's pretty good at what she does....
You're a man of...
'Yesterday we were talking about how to eat sausages in a glossy way and how important the combination of nakedness and clothing is. Naked and your husband's clothes are called his shirt, right?


But if White wears my shirt, I think it would be more of a moe sleeve.
The s*xual essence.......................

''Please let me wear your husband's clothes myself next time!
Well I'll have to wear a naked shirt then.

I've got just the right shirts!
I don't make them wear anything underneath, of course.


So long, brother!　I'll see you soon!
Oh yeah. Take care of yourself.

After seeing Shin and the others leave, well, I guess that's a wrap-up.......
Alright. Let's go back to the villa and take it easy.

'Hey, hey, visitor!　You'll have to pay for my contract!

Uh ... it's not like I forgot about it, you know?
I remember. I remembered. Of course I remembered.

"Oh, your face!　You definitely forgot about it!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm well-prepared.
...please...

I handed him a bag of gold coins and he seemed to be counting a few as soon as possible.
With confidentiality and other factors added to the mix, I was allowed to give him quite a bit of money.
I've already talked to Wendy and the others, so it's not a waste of money!

'Hifumii... er... it seems like quite a lot...?
Well, you know what I mean?
'Oh I see. So you have a lot of hush money. Don't worry so much, you're not so dishonest as to pass on the information you get from your work to others, right?　Besides, I'm not stupid enough to make an enemy of Hayato the hero.

No, well, I suppose you're right.
But that's not the only money that's out there.

"Hmm. Well, it's part of it. I owe a lot to the guide, and frankly speaking, I wouldn't have been able to complete it without him. I colored it in a little bit to show my appreciation. Well, thank you.
What's going on?　Such a serious face all of a sudden.... There's a huge gap between you and your normal self.

This is a true story.
The guide was originally contracted to be a bodyguard... or rather, to protect me in case something happened, but she even helped me with things outside of the contract, such as crushing rocks, carrying my luggage, and hunting demons for me.
So--

Again, thank you. You're a lifesaver.

And with that, I held out my hand.
As a handshake.

'.........Hmmm. If that's the case, feel free to accept it gratefully. But it's a bit too much, so........teya.

The guide took my hand and touched it to his chest as well.
Of course it's over my clothes, but I can feel the softness of it firmly, but unfortunately my thoughts haven't caught up with it yet.

'Service. An. You're already a naughty person.........

Even if my thoughts haven't caught up, my fingers, which are inputted to rub as a matter of course if I touch them, enjoy the guide's 'tits'.
Surprisingly........no, it doesn't reach the tits yet.

Everyone is puzzled.
The finger was moving in a jerk with the finger touching, but as soon as the finger felt like it was rubbing the sky, the guide left the place.
Shiro and Solte were reaching out to where the guide was, but the guide was already not there.

''Hahaha!　I did it!　So long!

Before I know it, the guide who had moved to the roof decides to have a high smile and leaps off with a leftover line, as if to repay me for yesterday.

'I'm going after you,'
Stop....

I stop White from activating his black weasel and trying to chase him, and I let him see the guide off until he is out of sight.
Really, I'm not going to be blindsided until the end........

''Well, what shall we do now?''
What do you think we're going to do?
Well.
You're taking a bath, aren't you?

They all stare at me with a smirk, as if they understand.
Wait, wait, wait. You think I'm being short-sighted - yes, that's right.
The reason I built this villa is because I want a mixed bathing experience!
There's nothing else to do!
If I can't take a mixed bath, I'm going home!

'Yes!　The sun is still high, but let's get in!

Kukukuku.
It's the hot spring we've been waiting for, a mixed bath!
There isn't a place in the world that I haven't touched, and he's washing me so thoroughly!


Hahahahahaha!
Hot springs ... it's great!
