The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle for the Throne

Chapter 134: Hot Spring: Second Part

Ahh.what lovely weather.

When we arrived at Heilung, we split up into rooms for men and women. Even with that said, since our goal was to enter the hot spring, I and Leo immediately decided to go in.

The water source of Heilung is located on the mountain and the water flows down to the spring below.

It has the effect of healing minor wounds and fatigue and is also one of the best tourist attractions in the empire.

We have the whole place to ourselves today. It isnt a coincidence that there is no one else here today. It seems that the Brave house rented the whole place. This is probably Anna-sans work.

Well, thanks to that we can carefreely relax today so she has my thanks.

Glad you came right?

Saying so Leo sinks into the hot water. Perhaps since he never slacked off on training like me, his body is toned and there are small scratches here and there is one big wound on his shoulder. Its the scar he got from getting stabbed by the demon in the south.

He splashes the spring water there.

Nii-san, make sure you soak up your left hand to okay? With this, it shouldnt hurt anymore.

Theres no problem. Im already doing it.

Saying so, I sink my body in. it feels like the fatigue I accumulated lately melts into the hot water.

Aah, this feels so good..

It would be fine if Sebas got in here too.

He said that he would be keeping watch outside after all. He should be getting in once we leave.

I see. Then I should get out early then. Nii-san can take your time alright?

Yeah, I know.

Saying so Leo got up.

After I saw him off, I slowly closed my eyes.

The fatigue healing property of the spring here seems to be true. I can feel the magic power from the hot water. It might have the effect of recovering magic power too. Maybe I have been using a lot of magic power lately, it seems that I am not at full recovery yet.

I managed to make do with it until now but I might not be able to leave it like this from now on. I should exercise the utmost caution when fighting against Eric.

Perhaps it was the reason Sebas insisted on bringing me here.

Fuu..

I deeply exhale and expel my worries. Lets stop thinking.

I should simply leave myself to the hot water and just pass the time like this. 

While I was thoroughly relaxing in the hot spring like that, I was called from the neighboring room.

Al-nii! Leo-nii!

Its Ritas voice.

When I was wondering whether I should respond but since she would be too pitiful if I ignored her, I gave my reply.

Leo already got out.

Ehh, how does it feel like on that side?

It shouldnt be different from your side. This side also serves as a womans bath depending on the time after all.

Both sides got water from the same source but since it flows down to this side first and flows into the other springs, this one should be a little hotter.

Thats about the difference here.

Hey! Rita! Wash your body before you get in!

Ehh! I want to get in quickly!!

No can do! You have to wash your body first!

Elna scolded Rita.

The other side is getting noisy, it seems that the women are getting in. they probably relaxed in their room quite a bit. Well, we rented the whole place today so I guess its fine not hurrying in like me.

Your Highness, is it too hot?

UnIm fine.

Now its the voices of Finne and Christa.

Finne is probably washing Christas hair.

Judging from her voice, Finne seems to be having fun. Taking care of children is no problem from her I guess.

I felt sorry leaving taking care of Christa and Rita to them but it seems I was just overthinking it.

While hearing their voices, I open my eyes and look up at the sky.

It is already evening, the sun has started to set and the color of the sky looks magical.

Perhaps because I am soaking myself in this water, the view seems special to me.

It is a strange sensation. I was not enthusiastic before I came but now Im glad that I am here.

It felt so good that I wouldnt mind staying in here forever. 

When I was having such a silly idea, I heard a strange noise all of a sudden.

Chuppii

Chuppii?

While wondering what it was, I look away from the sky.

Then I saw a penguin-like animal with a black coat. It is small. Its appearance is that of a cute little penguin. It looks a little plump though.

Is it someones pet? It is wearing quite a fine cloth.

Well, I couldnt care less about that.

Oi..you..that plank, where did you get it?

The problem was that the penguin-like creature is casually lifting a large plank.

That plank is clearly a part of some kind of equipment and it is probably something that shouldnt be here.

The penguin-like creature seems to understand my words as it points up at a place halfway up the mountain.

There.you got it from there..?

Chuppii

The penguin-like creature squeals as if to affirm it.

The water source is there. With the hot spring drawing water from there, there should be a mechanism in place to prevent the water from flowing down here too much.

If thats gone then.

ISNT THAT A FLOOD BARRIER!?

Chuppii

The moment I screamed out, a loud noise echoed from the hillside.

This is bad!

I tried to get out of the hot spring and run away but I couldnt run well in the water and I was swept away by the flood of hot water.

Getting swept away by the water, I couldnt know left from right. However, when I struggled to secure some breathing room, I managed to get my face out of the water.

PuHa!! Haa Haa

I thought I was a goner..

Am I cursed to not get a proper bath or something?

I got drowned by Elna one time and now Im almost drowned because of some random animal this time.

Damn itwhat a cruel world

For the time being, Im relieved that Im alive so I try to hurry up and get out of the water.

Then I realized. The scene around me is slightly different from earlier.

Its a trivial difference. The water source is farther away. There is not much difference besides that. The problem here is that this place should be the other side of the wooden partition.

!!??

The scream without a voice reached my ears.

Apparently, the wooden partition broke from the flood.

YesI am currently in the womens bath.

In front of my eyes is the stark naked Elna, and in the back were Finne, Christa, and Rita who are all naked. As though trying to protect them, Lynfia is standing in front of them with her sword. However, in this case, a towel might be better than a sword.

Finnes massive chest, Lynfias well-balanced body, their dazzling white skin is in clear view.

Her sword is too thin to hide her body. The same could be said for Elna in front of me.

She is covering her body with both hands but that alone wont be able to hide anything.

Her chest is still disappointing but many people would say that it is fine as is. Her body has feminine curves and her tight and slender lower body is still worth a look. Well, my life is in danger just by seeing it though.

Al.? Do you have anything left to say?

Right..Elna has a well rounded lower body and slender figure, your body line is great. Lynfias is well-balanced, very nice overall. Finnes chest is perfect and your waist is in golden proportion.

When I said so, the threes faces flushed all at once and they tried even harder to hide their bodies.

Its no use playing a fool or making excuses now. The punishment is sure to come so I guess I should just give my honest opinion.

A mans honest evaluation should be useful for them in the future. The view here is beautiful and all but if I can be of help then I want to.

I cant comment on Christa and Rita though. Well, Trau-niisan might be driven to tears but I have no such hobby.

THATS ALL YOU CAN SAY AFTER ENTERING A WOMENS BATH!?

I wont make any excuse. It was completely an accident butit was a nice view. You have my gratitude.

When I lowered my head, I felt a strong impact and I was sent flying into the water.

With a single blow, my consciousness flies away. Thinking, this is just like old-time, I let go of my consciousness.

In my fleeting consciousness, I heard the cry of that penguin-like creature.

Right..that guy, I will definitely roast it whole next time I see it.

With that decision made, my body sunk to the bottle of the spring.

TLN: Nope this one is Eclair from Overlord.
