I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN)

Chapter 386 - I Have a Feeling That Another Upheaval is Coming

Chapter 386 - I Have a Feeling That Another Upheaval is Coming


After a pleasant and peaceful dinner, we had a chat over a cup of tea made by Ein-san. I didn’t know if she thought it was a good time or not, but Kuro suddenly made a suggestion.


[I think it’s a good time, so let’s take a bath “together”!]


The moment I heard those words, I ran away. I think my movements at that moment were the quickest and swiftest movements I’ve ever done.


With minimal movements, I stood up from my chair and ran as fast as I could without looking back at Kuro and the others.


And then, a few seconds later…… I found myself in the changing room. This wouldn’t do, I was surrounded by people whose existence were filled with cheats. For Kuro and the others, my all-out sprint was just as slow as a snail. They took me to the changing room faster than I could even perceive them.


[……Kaito…… You wanted to take a bath that badly?]


No. That’s not it, Isis-san…… I wasn’t dashing towards the bathroom, I was trying to dash away from it. The reason that I was in this place was all because of that monster maid.


The wooden changing room, with its pure j.a.panese style, really had the feel of an onsen resort, but I didn’t have the time to relax and enjoy this.


[……H- Hey, Kuro? I’ll ask just in case, but this place is divided by gender, right……]


[Eh? We’re going together! Let’s rub each other’s back!]


[……I’ll also…… wash…… Kaito’s back.]


As expected, it was a mixed bath…… Somebody help me! No, this is seriously dangerous! I mean, having to bath together with Kuro, Isis-san, Ein-san and Alice…… Four beautiful women, it would difficult for me to stay even conscious.


Was there something I could do? Anything? A way to get out of this…… H- However, if I said that I didn’t want to bath with them, Isis-san and Kuro would be sad…… Ugghhh…… What should I do……


[Please wait a moment! A maiden’s soft fair skin isn’t something to be exposed so easily!]


Mhmm? It feels like I’m getting some support from a strange source…… Ah, no, thinking about it, Alice has always been really shy. She would be someone vital if I want to get out of this situation.


Alright. That’s three against two. We’re still outnumbered, but we’ve got enough members to oppose……


[I mean, I’m still traumatized by that “incident before”! After taking a bath with Kaito-san, my…… My…… my “body has already turned into something that gives me no other choice but to marry Kaito-san”!!!]


[Stop with those misleading words!]


Alice’s trauma was about that accident in the bathroom before…… but the way she said it! Doesn’t that sound like she’s talking about something else!?


[……How surprising. I never thought that Shalltear would just push Kuromu-sama to the side and have such a thing with Kaito-sama……]


[Wait a second there, Ein-san? I’m telling you, it’s a misunderstanding…… You’re mistaken……]


[Just remembering it now makes me feel like dying of embarra.s.sment. Even “my most precious place” was “plentifully seen”……]


[Hey, you shut up!!!]


Just when I thought you were my ally, you turned out to be my worst enemy!? I know that you’re feeling embarra.s.sed and fl.u.s.tered, but please don’t say anything else.


[That’s why, I strongly recommend everyone to wear a “bathing suit”!]


[……Why?]


[Why, you ask, Isis-san…… As I said before, if you don’t wear one, you’d be naked then.]


[……If it’s other than Kaito, I don’t want to be seen but…… if it’s Kaito…… if Kaito wants to…… It’s fine…… with me.]


[You’re more aggressive than I thought!]


It’s not just Alice that was surprised, as I was also stunned by Isis-san’s careless words.


Hearing her words though, I was also reminded about the snow-white skin I saw when I took a bath in the onsen together with Isis-san…… and I reflexively gulped down. T- This won’t do, keep your calm…… Keep calm and stay composed!


Isis-san definitely doesn’t know anything that’s beyond that. She’s simply saying that “She’ll do anything I want” just to express her pure love…… That’s also why it’s really difficult for me.


[……Me too…… W- Well, ummm, it feels embarra.s.sing but…… if Kaito-kun wants to see it……]


[Kuro-san too!?]


The words Kuro said while slightly looking down were incredibly destructive due to the gap compared to how she normally acted, further chipping away my mind even before we entered the bath.


I take back my previous words. Alice, you don’t have to shut up, but please do your best to somehow stop this…… This strange flow of conversation……


[T- That won’t do! Kaito-san is still a man…… “a sheep disguised as a wolf in sheep’s clothing”!!!]


[……So, in short…… a sheep?]


However, Alice also seemed to be quite fl.u.s.tered and started to say something incomprehensible, before she received a sharp tsukkomi from Ein-san.


The situation had turned into quite a mess, but then, Kuro approached Alice and whispered to her.


[Shalltear……]


[……Ehh? A- Ahh, there’s that way huh…… I see……]


[E- Errr, what are you two talking about……]


[It’s a good opportunity, Kaito-san. Let’s have some naked socializing with everyone!]


[Seriously, what the heck did you two talk about!?]


This is impossible! I never thought that Alice would change her mind so easily…… What in the world did Kuro tell her? I definitely didn’t think it was just something I could just brush off……


Eh? Was the decision already made? Is it already decided…… that I’m going to take a bath with everyone?


With the betrayal of my only ally, Alice and the disappearance of my only way out, I unconsciously took a step back……


[Isis-san!? Please don’t start taking off your clothes! Could you at least do that in a separate changing room!!!?]


[……Eh? ……Unnn…… Okay.]


T- That was close. I was about to be caught completely by surprise…… Unnn. I didn’t see anything. Not even a glimpse of the thin blue clothing on her chest or anything like that.


It’s alright, it’s alright…… Calm down and empty your mind.


A- As I was thinking about that…… Ein-san bowed to Kuro before she spoke.


[……Well then, I’ll be waiting here, so if you have a command……]


[What are you saying, Ein? You’re also coming with us, you know?]


[……N- No, as a maid, I can’t take a bath together with my master, Kuromu-sama……]


Arehh? Is it just my imagination? It feels unusual for Ein-san to sound evasive or rather, she somehow looks fl.u.s.tered.


[E- Ein-san? If you don’t want to join, you don’t have to force yourself, you know!?]


[……N- No, it’s not that I don’t want to bath with Kaito-sama…… The problem is ummm, with me……]


[Unnn?]


“If you don’t like it, just say so and I’ll try to persuade Kuro” or so I told her, but Ein-san still evasively replied.


In the end, Ein-san was forced by Kuro and together with Isis-san and Alice, they moved to the changing room next door.


Dear Mom, Dad————- As I thought, I seem to be cursed by the bath, as I’m suddenly faced with an impossibly difficult ordeal. Also, Ein-san’s unusual condition kind of bothers me……———- I have a feeling that another upheaval is coming.




Now then, it’s finally mixed bathing time! Are you ready for this? I’m ready!


Serious-senpai: [Well, I’m not ready for this though!!!]
