I Shall Survive Using Potions!

Kaoru:So you guys are from a nearby village, you said?

Villager:Y-yes, we live in a village thats not far from here. We tend to come here occasionally

It seems like theres a village nearby, but its a little away from the town and these boys said that they are from there.

Well, the village seems to be on the other side of the town where we got the information about this place from. So, the townspeople probably didnt even bother to mention their village. Perhaps, even if theres a town closer to the village, the villagers still probably wont have that much interaction with that town.

Ah, of course, we temporarily returned to the womens tent and dressed up. Otherwise, the guys would be too unrest to talk.

Kaoru:Well then, since you guys already came here, why dont you join us? Its not as if this hot spring is ours alone.or rather, we are just someone who gets in your way even though the ones who maintain this place are you guys from the village, right?

Though this place is most likely a mixed bath, but its a little bit, you know so please wait a minute.

When I said so, the children nodded a lot of times.

Its bad to make them wait, but this is something like Earliest bird catches the worm. Nonetheless, we want to be the first one to enter, you see.

Lets have these children go together with Roland and Emile, so that we wont regard it as excluding the other people.

However, even though this is probably a mixed bathing for the villagers, why did the children get shaken up when they saw our naked body?

Dont tell me, they were surprised of my lack of breastsno, shut up!!

I got a little intrigued and asked them, but they immediately turned red. When I thought Umumu, they are too innocent, huh?, their gaze turned to Francette and Belle.

Is it because of my chest? My eyes?..I see, its both, huh? Damn it!!

No, more than that, one of those three is looking towards Riette-chan!

D-dont tell me, you bastard.

Oh, he was just remembering about his sister that he took care of when he was young and felt nostalgic about it?Je-je vois.

After that, we slowly went to the hot spring, leaving Roland and Emile who are watch-keeping the boys.

Ah! I forgot!

(Come out! A lion head-shaped container with a tiny bit of potion inside. The ingredients can be dissolved in a hot water that flows through the container and have a slight beauty effect, healing effect and relaxing effect!)

Yup, everythings fine because I had imagined all of the details inside my head.

And then it appeared, the one that is just like the details. That lion head-shaped thing, which can spew hot water from its mouth as if its vomiting somehow its kinda dirty!

No, its not like that!

Anyway, I poured the hot water into the back of the lion head which had been stuck to a rock and the water came out from its mouth. It looks just like some kind of decoration.

Well, since Francette had come here as well, I have to at least offer a little service to her who always goes through a lot of hardship.

Sometimes she comes back full with bruises and wounds after going to a sword dojo and had 1 vs 10 matches just for training so that her body wont get dull. When I tried to heal her with a potion, she always said this kind of wound is not necessary for that and refuse

But I feel guilty toRoland if her body is full of bruises and wounds, you know?

Thats why, I need to go sneaky on this.

And also, dont bully the weak, Francette.youre not allowed to go home waving some kind of a flag, okay!?

Francette:W-whats that?

Kaoru:Yup, as I thought, a hot spring has to have this after all. In my world, its a common sense that hot springs are spewed from a lion, yeah!

Of course, in truth, theres no such thing as that. In the first place, its not really a match between a lion and a Japanese-style hot spring.

Francette:H-Haa

Francette made a doubtful face, but Belle and Riette-chan were touching the lion head as if theyre curious instead. Well, I guess its fine to just touch it as it probably wont have any medicinal effect.

Ah, more or less, if you try to remove the lion head from its place, it will be pulverized and all effects will be lost as well as all of the things that I have created has self-destruction function except one-time disposable things. No matter how slight the effect may be, if its abused by a certain authority or rich people, it would be a disaster.

For women in every world, even a slight effect may lead to a great attraction, so it might be enough for them to get at least a husband or lover who is an influential person. Womens desire for beauty is truly terrifying.

Me? Give me kind eyes, chest and height!

Damn it, I really failed the negotiation with Celes, huh.

No, I will challenge my inner self with this appearance and genes which I got from my parents, and I wont use any potions as well for it! This has to be a fair match.

Riette:Nee-sama, are you playing one hundred faces tag?

(TL Note: I dunno about this, its and I cant find the English word for it)

Its not like thaaatt~!!

And thus, the four young girls (only the looks) tried to start the girls talk but

Theres no topic to talk about!!

Me, who is the same age as them and doesnt have a single boyfriend yet!

Belle is more or less a couple with Emile, but shes never changed ever since when she was an orphan.

And Riette-chan is out of the question.

Whats left is.

Kaoru:Francette, hows Roland?

Francette:Ha? What do you mean by that?

Kaoru:No, I mean, I wonder how far have you gone, or something like that

Francette:Eh? I have always been with all of you, so I didnt go anywhere else except from the royal capital, Gurua to here, though

Kaoru & Belle:

Belle and I exchanged glances and sighed.

This is useless

After that, we bathed for a while until my body swollen up, put on my clothes and then called the guys.

Boys:Too long!

Ah, as I thought.

Boy:Uwah! What in the world is this!?

Ooh, they are surprised because something that they havent seen before had been placed there.

Roland:What animal is this?

Eh? Do they not know what a lion is?

Is there no lion in this world, or is it just because it cannot be found around here?

Well, they dont have a TV nor any animal picture book, so its not weird that they dont know. Even I wont have had the chance to see a lion even though I lived in Japan if theres no TV, books, or zoos. Of course theres no Announcement from Lion or something like that around here either.

Well, while listening to such voice, I rolled around in the womens tent.

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

Kaoru:So, whats this about inviting us to your village?

Boy:Y-Yes, its around 2 hours from here, its right over there. Its a small village, but its a good place. We have delicious vegetables and yams! Even our venison and boar dishes are delicious as well!

Ooh, venison and boar meat, in addition, yams!

but why are your eyes swimming around.?

Well, I will still go, though.

Francette:Why is this kind of invitation happened again? Its probably something strange as well, dont you think?

Belle:Right~?

Riette:Strange..

Francette, Belle and Riette-chan severely said so inside the womens tent.

Well, Riette-chan is just trying to imitate those two and seems like she doesnt know anything.

And so, after I said to the boys, Well, should I try and visit there~?, one person remained so that he can be our guide, and the other two went to the village saying We have something to do, so well go back first and left.

most likely its for the preparation, right?

As we havent had enough time to enjoy the hot spring yet, we wont leave immediately. We plan to leave after fully enjoying the hot spring in these three days and two nights.

To begin with, even in Japan, theres no time to relax if its just a round trip for a hot spring even if its for two days one night with only a schedule such as arriving in the evening, eating a meal, bathing and then go home in the next morning. Its better to stay and enjoy while repeatedly entering and leaving the hot spring many times. Oh, and sometimes go sightseeing in the nearby spots.

Well then, how will a small village in the back of the mountain entertain us?

Will it be a village full of thieves that strips off what travelers brought? Or rather, will it be a village full of thieves living with their families who are not only stripping off the travelers, but also selling the travelers themselves as slaves?

Its not like Im interested in social reform nor volunteering, but if they ask me to follow them, then I will go like what they wanted to.
