I Shall Survive Using Potions!

King:Do you really think I will be satisfied with such a report!?

Messenger:M-my apologies!!

There are nobles and a king in this kingdom, Beriscas. Nevertheless, the ones who make the decisions are the high-class nobles in a conference and not the king himself. Furthermore, compared with other kingdoms and empires, merchants have stronger influential voice here as well. That kind of thing obviously has its own merits and demerits. For the nobles, the merchants, the commoners and of course, even for the royalties

A miracle from the Goddess had occurred in a coastal provincial town.

A story that seems a little, no, quite fake about a little girl from a weak viscounty who was favored by the Goddess and received her help to defeat the enemy of her family and protect her house.

Usually, this kind of story would make anyone laugh but, a detailed report from the related party, that is the little girl who has succeeded the viscount title as well as a report about ones opinion from the earl who happens to be her parent figurehave arrived.

Although the main policy can not be decided by the kings selfish actions, if the legitimate successor has disposed the offender who committed a criminal act, the King can reply Umu,theres no problemwithout consulting others first. That is because, its only to respect the rights of the weak nobles, hence there can not be a noble who complains about it.

However, this matter was not a normal case.

Goddess miracle!

A girl who has received the Goddess favor and is a beautiful young head of a noble household!!

Such delicious information cannot be brushed aside by the nobles.

Its a great opportunity to receive the Goddess favor and bring in the girl so that it can strengthened the kings authority and influence.

And, conversely, it can turn into a critical situation if she was taken by a powerful noble and used as a piece to raise the voice of the nobles.

Therefore, even though the King had sent one of his royal official earls as a messenger for immediate confirmation, the messenger returned without any satisfying outcome. It was natural for the king to be unhappy.

King:We should move to the next plan, huh. the nobles are also going to get this information any time now. If we dont hurry

***************

Kaoru:Lets go to a hot spring!

Emile & Bell:Yeah!

Roland & Francette:Eh?

Riette:?

Emile and Bell agreed with my suggestion unconditionally, mostly in reflex and thought nothing.

But, unexpectedly, Roland and Francette raised a voice full of doubt instead.

It seems that they probably dont even know what Hot Spring is.

Emile & Bell:So, whats Onsene?

So you guys as well!?

Kaoru:Hot spring is a natural spring that gushes out hot water. its good for health and beauty-

Francette & Bell:Lets go!

Even though I havent finished talking yet, Francette and Bell express their intention immediately.

Yougirlssure replied fast.

Thus, a hot spring trip was decided.

Rolands opinion?

Such things were not considered from the start.

Anyway, its not good for humans do nothing but work. They need to enjoy doing something occasionally!

Thats why, its a refreshing trip for the employees plus volunteers of Convenient Store Bell!

***************

Kaoru:and thats why, we came here in search for that kind of place

I have looked it up on the map, got some information from the hunter guild and merchant guild, also asked the old men who had traveled all over the place when they were young while giving them alcohol. Hence, I finally arrived at our objective, here, Fire Dragon Mountain belt.

It does not mean that a dragon actually lives here. It is called so as theres a place where white smoke rises and hot air blows up, which means that its a good candidate for where the hot spring is.

And.

Uncle:Hot spring? There is indeed one.

Instant win.

I found it in an instant. thats too quick.

Uncle:But, I havent heard any story from those who have gone to that place as its quite far away, you see.

I discovered or rather, it was the first reply that came from the old m- no no, uncle at the bar. Certainly, the hot spring was found, but its far from the town as its on the mountainous area. Hence, it will be meaningless to go and soak in the hot water, sweat, and loosen the stiff muscles as they will eventually become sweaty on the way back and got muscle pain again.

Yeah, thats indeed true.

But I already came here, so I cant go home with only this.

Besides, its not as if we are in a hurry, so we can just walk back slowly and camp along the way as the camping equipment are always in the item box.

In addition, we could find another hot spring in a nearer place as well. Yup, theres no problem!

Thats why, we bought some local products for camouflage, carried the dummy bag and departed!

Kaoru:Hmm~ I cant find it

I muttered so while carrying the Hot Sprensor for searching the hot spring.

(TL Note: Its Onsensor, Onsen Sensor, Hot Spring Sensor)

Hot Sprensor refers to the previously used glasses-shaped target locator, Searcher. What I did was just setting the target to Hot spring. Its truly a reusable and eco-friendly product.

And there was no sign that there might be another hot spring nearby from the Hot Sprensor.

In the end, we arrived at the hot spring that was told before.

Its obvious, I guess? The natives (the locals around the area) should have found one nearer already in these hundreds of years if theres one. And yet, they didnt find any, hence there cant be one near as expected.

And, thanks to the Hot Sprensor, we finally reached the destination without losing our way and then installed the tents from the item box next to the hot spring. The girls tent, boys tent, a tent for cover and a table set.

The installation was performed by three people, Francette, Emile and Bell. Roland is useless, I see~ me too, though.

Hot springs, of course, dont have buildings around the area, and there are some water pools in which the hot water overflows from its bottom.

The overflowing hot water immediately cools down and forms a small stream flowing downward. I dont know whether the water will be absorbed to the ground and disappear or will merge with a river.

From that water pool, the hot water passes through the artificially created ditch that flows into the bath area about four and a half tatami mats and was made using the dent of the rocky area. On the other side, theres a drainage that merges with the small stream. Moreover, the bath area looks like a bathtub as its possible to adjust the amount of water flowing into the bathtub by moving the partition plates that covers the ordinary mountain water which flows to the bath area as well as the hot water.

Kaoru:Wow, its well built indeed. Well, if it has been hundreds years old, it should be devised this much, huh.? Well anyway, Roland and Emile should go somewhere.

Emile:Yes!

Roland:I understand.

Yeah, as one would expect, they wont complain about this.

After they left the spot, we took off our clothes and went to the hot spring!

Kaoru:Uwa-hothothothot!!

When I put my right foot into the bath softly, I felt a great deal of heat leaped from my foot.

Yes, no one is controlling the water temperature, so its obvious that it was not in a suitable temperature. If I did try to jump in, I might as well be dead. My second life got burned in a hot spring and died, thats a little disappointing.

I should close the hot water partition, then open the ordinary water partition and wait for a while, huh? It will take some time, but fortunately, the air temperature is not that low, theres no wind blowing, and theres hot water as well, so its not too cold to be naked.

In any case, we plan to camp here, so we have plenty of time. Emile and Roland are also looking for preys and fruits for dinner, so its fine to go at ease.

When I thought so and the four of us were talking carefreely while being naked.

*Gasa*

Then, three men suddenly appeared from the bushes.

And they got petrified when they looked at us.

KYAAAAAAAAAAA~~!!

And then, screams were echoing around.

The mens screams, that is.

Both mine and Francettes chronological age are around thirty. No matter how my age is equal to the years with me having no boyfriend, its not the age where we will still make a noise and that kind of scream after being seen by children.

Bell had lived disorderly where boys and girls had to share a room together which it was not well protected by the wind and rain in a one and only abandoned house. And for Riette-chans case, she doesnt know about this kind of thing yet.

Well, from my perspective, these childrens outward appearance are Males, but from a racial perspective around here, theyre still children who are around 13 to 14 years old, maybe. Their physiques are just big. Well, you could say theyre Youths.

And in front of the those three children, there stood Francette brandishing her divine sword, Ex-gram which was on her side.

and completely naked.

However, that Kyaa.

Youguyshave a high girl power, huh?

Roland:What happened!?

Emile:Kaoru-sama, are you all right!?

And then they appeared, Roland and Emile.

Well, obviously they would come, right.

Francette & Kaoru:GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

The screams this time came from Francette and me.

Yup, obviously Francette and I really dont want to be seen naked by Roland.

However, although Francette let out her scream, Roland could not change his stance to protect us and instead, was shaking with a bright red face.

But, the scream that we raised was unexpectedly Gyaa.

Our girl power.is low, it seems.

And didnt the two of them arrive a bit too fast?

Where exactly were you guys!?
