Chapter 38: I’m going to be myself.
Editor: EndlessSkyRain
“How’s the temperature?”
I asked the two of them as they soaked in the open-air baths of our house, which were as good as the luxury hot spring inns of a previous life.
“Yeah, it feels great.”
“Hai. I didn’t know baths could be so good.”
Apparently the two of them could see the benefits of a bath, and they looked like they were going to melt.
“I’m glad to hear that. We don’t have the culture of soaking in the bath around here, so we don’t have the feeling of soaking in hot water. No matter how much I tell them about the benefits of bathing, they just don’t understand. By cleansing the body, it prevents illness, improves blood circulation and heals fatigue. Most importantly, it feels good to take a bath after a long day of work. It makes me want to work hard again tomorrow.”
In my previous life, I took a bath once every two days to save money on a small bathroom.
But in this life, you can take a large bath everyday. Because it is a wood-fired bath, it warms, not only the core of my body, but also the core of my mind.
“Did Bei make this too?”
“Ah. I needed a bath, and I put the most effort into it.”
Although it is an open-air bath, you can go in even if it is raining or snowing because there is a roof above the bath. And, in case of a storm, there is no problem because we set up a ward. If you can overlook the village, you can watch the starry sky at night. You can drink a cup of coffee (Modoki) while enjoying the scenery of the seasons. It’s scary to think that such happiness is possible.
“It’s as luxurious as an aristocrat.”
“I don’t think anyone would have a bath like this.”
Well, I don’t know what a nobleman’s bath is like, but he can’t use lots of wood and hot water to the point of overflowing like we can. Moreover, our hot water is a medicinal bath. It does not have a strong odor and is gentle on the windpipe with only a faint scent.
“I suppose so. No wonder Bei says he lost half his life. I need a bath now too.”
“Fufu, it’s good to see that we have more comrades. Well, we can’t bathe with wood in the capital or in a big city, but we can use magic to heat up the water. Build me a good bath.”
I use magic (ask Sapuru) to warm them up when I want to get in right away.
Fuu~ haaa~ A sigh of relief can be heard.
“…Na, Bei”
As we were enjoying the hot water in silence for a while, the Kaichou of the board opened his mouth.
“Hmm? What?”
“Who the hell are you?”
""
He’s just a cheeky little kid. He’s just a regular villager.
I wasn’t born with a mission, and I have no desire to accomplish anything. I’m just a guy who wants to live a better life than the one I had in my previous life, and that’s all.
“Well, I don’t expect you to be convinced. I know I’m different, I know I’m an aberration, I know I’m a terror in the eyes of the beholder, so do what you want, Kaichou-san. It’s your business, Kaichou-san, if you want to tell anyone about me or try to trick me. It’s none of my business.”
“…By the way, had anyone taken advantage of Bei?”
“Yes.”
“…What happened to the man?”
I didn’t answer, but I smirked.
“…”
“Fufu. I’m just kidding. I’m not doing anything. I’m just saying that I’m not going to talk to you again and I’m not going to hang out with you. I can tell a mouthy asshole like that just by looking at him in the first place.”
I haven’t lived more than fifty years (including my previous life). If you’re cheated, you’ll get a better eye for people.
“So, do I pass?”
“It’s up to you to decide.”
Even if only one of us wants to be friends, we can’t be friends. You can’t have good friendships unless you want them and you want to be equal.
As I said before, I’m a cocky little brat and just a villager, but I’m not so depressed that I’d change my attitude towards someone who wants to be my friend based on their birth or status, and I don’t intend to be friends with someone who can’t. If it’s a relationship of profit and loss, I’ll only do what’s in my best interest. If he uses you, I’ll use you.
“Hey, Vermund Vajibadr. I’m going to ask you again. What do you want?”
“Please, my friend. Help me.”
Then he bowed his head.
“It can’t be helped. It’s my friend’s request, so I’ll help you out.”
Whether you say it’s sweet or not, this is the way I am in this world. I’m going to live my life as I want to.
