I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN)-Chapter 1401: A Night Spent with Sieg ④

Our room at the inn that Sieg-san reserved is a really nice room. Comparing it to the hotels back in my previous world, this would be something like a suite room, being a room that is more than spacious with a large bathtub provided.

The image of the room is like that of a traditional Japanese inn with a bath, and I think this is definitely one of the best rooms in the inn.

But, however, even so...... Even when that was the case...... The size of their bath is naturally smaller than that of a bath in an onsen inn. The size of the bath certainly is large enough to accommodate two people. However, well, it’s just about that big.

It may be because this is an inn that caters to nobles, but the bath is quite luxurious, having not a Japanese-style, but a Western-style design...... A bath based on marble, and incidentally, the inside of the room is quite bright.

[......It’s beautiful and luxurious, but since I’m usually taking a bath at Lili’s mansion, it strangely feels small.]

[I agree. The bathtub in my house is also quite large, so even if this feels luxurious, that’s also what I feel.]

I agree with what Sieg-san said, as a towel was wrapped around her body. The both of us seemed to be fairly nervous, but it’s on a manageable level for the time being...... I feel like our thoughts are composed (?) to some extent.

In my case, I suppose this is because it’s the second time I’m bathing together with Sieg-san...... isn’t the case at all. It’s actually just because I’m trying not to look at Sieg-san too much.

[......K- Kaito-san.]

[Y- Yes.]

[If you’d like, I can wash your back.]

[Thank you.]

I take back what I said before. It seems like both Sieg-san and I are considerably nervous, as our voices have risen a little. For the time being, Thanking Sieg-san for washing my back, I sit on the bath chair provided in the bathroom.

Thereupon, Sieg-san silently moves behind me and uses a sponge to carefully wash my back.

[Do you not feel itchy somewhere?]

[Yes. The pressure is just right.]

[......Looking at it like this, I guess it’s really because you’re a man huh? I think Kaito-san has a large back.]

[Y- You think so? I haven’t really trained, so I feel a little embarrassed......]

[However, you look like you’ve got some muscle on you though?]

[Fumu, I do some exercises like jogging, so it might be the result of those......]

Even though this and that were happening, I often go jogging with Hina-chan, and I also do light muscle training. As for that muscle training, Kuro also sometimes teaches me some things while teaching me magic.

Especially when I’m a little lacking in exercise, Kuro notices it right away, so it’s thanks to Kuro that I’m able to maintain a decent amount of muscle without getting fat.

While we were exchanging such light conversation, the hot water washed away the bubbles on my back, looking as if Sieg-san had finished washing my back.

[Thank you...... Errr, do you want me to wash your back too?]

[......I suppose so. Well then, if you’d allow me to take you up to your word......]

When I suggested washing Sieg-san’s back in exchange, Sieg-san accepted it, and Sieg-san and I exchanged positions. At that moment, Sieg-san took off the towel wrapped around her body and held it in her hand so as to hide only the front of her body.

A back with beautiful white skin appears in front of me, and I almost want to just stare at it, but I mobilized all my reasons and suppressed such thoughts.

[Errr, well then, I’ll start washing your back. If you find somewhere itchy, please say it.]

[Yes. I’m in your care.]

I put some body soap on the sponge and started scrubbing Sieg-san’s back. Strangely, even though there was a sponge between my hand and her body, it feels like I could feel the softness of Sieg-san’s skin, making me blush a bit.

Since we were talking about the size of the back earlier, I suddenly became conscious of Sieg-san’s back, and looking at it this way, Sieg-san’s back looks quite slender and feminine.

[Well then, I will rinse your body]

[Yes.]

After thoroughly scrubbing each others’ backs with a sponge, we poured hot water over each other and rinsed thoroughly. After that, the both of us washed our own fronts and got into the bathtub.

The bathtub is spacious enough for both of us to bathe side by side. Even so, partly due to the size of the bathtub, the distance between us was just very close...... so close that I’m not sure if our shoulders were touching or not.

[......This feels good.]

[Yes. It’s just, as expected...... I’m feeling a bit embarrassed.]

Incidentally, Sieg-san, who is next to me, is currently not wrapped in a towel, and there’s no bath salt here in the bathroom, so the waters aren’t blurred at all.

And so, I just kept my gaze straight ahead. No, even if I looked to the side here, Sieg-san wouldn’t say anything...... but still, well, how should I say this...... Should I say that now is not the time yet or something like that. At least, I have no intention of turning my head to her side in this bathroom.

Just as I was thinking that, Sieg-san’s hand suddenly touched my hand down beneath the waters, and just like that, without anyone initiating it, our fingers entwined with each other.

[I wonder why, even though we shouldn’t have been soaking ourselves for a long time...... I’m feeling a little hot.]

[I agree.]

[It’s just, how should I put it? I feel nervous and embarrassed...... but this doesn’t feel bad.]

[I agree with that too. I feel strangely nervous, but that nervousness doesn’t feel bad...... It’s a strange feeling.]

As I felt an indescribably itchy feeling in my heart, Sieg-san and I continued soaking ourselves in the bath side by side for a while. As if to prepare our hearts in what’s about to come......

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [U- Uwaaahhh...... My body...... the sweetness...... It’s melting my body!?]

? ? ? : [......Melt? Why the heck does your body change every time...... What kind of body do you even have, Senpai......]
