I Woke Up In The Morning And Became A Seeker, So I Dived Into A Dungeon ~Steadily Leveling Up Starting at the First Level~

Chapter 185. Bathhouse

I stood there, completely naked, with just a towel wrapped around me, with Kazane-san, Yumizuki, and a bonus mini griffin.

The 4 of us emerged from the changing room into the bathhouse.

“Wow!”

I couldn’t help but exclaim.

The private open-air bath was quite impressive.

It was a small-scale bath area with a natural rock bath enclosed by wooden fences, cleverly utilizing the rocky terrain.

Steam billowed up from the natural rock bath tucked away in a corner.

Around the rock bath, there were washing stations designed for up to six people to use simultaneously, complete with buckets and stools.

Yuzuki, who was right next to me, folded her arms behind her back and leaned forward, peering at me.

“Senpai, you should wash your body properly before getting in, you know?”

“Yeah, I know. What are you to me, anyway? My mother?”

“Aren’t you 2 dating? She’s your girlfriend number 2, right?”

“Well… yeah, but ‘number 2’? What’s that supposed to mean?”

Joining the conversation was Kazane-san.

“Wow, Hotaru-chan, you’re quite the jealous type, huh? Trying to steal the top spot as girlfriend number 1 from me?”

“Kazane-san, you’re surprisingly jealous, aren’t you? You never know what might happen if you try to take the top position.”

“Hehe, well, you know…”

“It’s a bit embarrassing, isn’t it?”

Despite how lucky I clearly was, this tension was slightly intimidating.

It felt like one wrong move, and I’d end up on the horror route.

We made our way to the washing area, 3 of us sitting on stools. Strangely enough, I ended up in the middle.

“Hey, Daichi-kun, want me to wash your back?”

“Huh… uh, sure.”

“Us too! I’ll wash you, Guri-chan!”

“Kupi, Kupii!”

“By the way, Senpai, you want me to wash you all over with my body covered in bubbles, right?”

“Uh, that’s just straight out of an erotic manga.”

“Don’t you like it?”

“…I do.”

“Hehehe. Well, we won’t do that since it’s an all-ages environment, you know.”

“Damn it, you’re just teasing and driving me crazy!”

“Wait, stop it, Hotaru-chan. You’ve been teasing him so much that Daichi-kun’s part of the ‘all-ages’ might not be all-ages anymore.”

“Kazane-san, you’re quite bold too! Aren’t you embarrassed as a maiden?”

“Maiden’s embarrassment… Isn’t that a bit late for someone who’s already grown up? Or do you like that sort of thing, Daichi-kun?”

“I’m sorry. It’s my fault for letting things get to this point. Please, spare me from any more mental attacks.”

That’s how lively it got just from washing our bodies.

Our proximity to each other was close, and if it weren’t for the all-ages setting, things might have taken a different turn.

Thank you, all ages Curse you, all ages

We washed each other’s bodies, feeling refreshed afterward.

Griffin also had its entire body covered in bubbles and had been rinsed, so it was looking clean as well.

Then, the 3 of us and griffin got into the bath.

“Ahh…”

“Kupii~?”

Sitting in the hot water, we let out a sigh of relief. 𝚋ｅ𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖｅ𝚕．𝚘𝚛𝚐

It felt like the fatigue from our journey was melting away in the warm water.

“Yeah… there have been a lot of things happening,”

Kazane-san said while gazing up at the sky. I

n her line of sight, there was the twilight sky mixed with shades of blue.

“That’s right. We came here on a whim, but when you think about it, it’s been nothing but the unexpected.”

Yuzuki added, sounding introspective.

“Since we came to this otherworld, how many days has it been until today? Around two weeks?”

I murmured absentmindedly.

The griffin also let out a casual “Kupii~” in response.

“Is it still only that long? It feels like we’ve been in this world for much longer.”

“Every day has been so eventful. Meeting various people, going on adventures.”

“And cuddling with Senpai like this.”

“Well, we’re cuddling, but I feel like I’ve been teased endlessly throughout.”

“It’s because you react so cutely when we tease you.”

“Yeah, Daichi-kun is cute, so I can’t help but tease him.”

“So, it wasn’t my imagination! You’ve confessed!”

“Ahaha!”

And so, we enjoyed a delightful time in the private open-air bath, getting almost dizzy from the heat. A

After making full use of the bath until our allotted time was up, we dried ourselves and dressed in the changing room before heading to the entrance.

We paid for some coffee milk with silver coins, lined up, put our hands on our hips, and downed it in one go.

“Ahh!”

With that, our enjoyable mixed-gender bathhouse adventure came to an end.

We planned to spend one more night at the inn and set off again tomorrow.

Or at least, that’s what we thought.

At that moment, the lady at the front desk, as if suddenly remembering something, called out to us.

“Oh, by the way, our village chief has something to discuss with you all. He has a request for adventurers, it seems.”
