Chapter 60

Inn, Suite Room 2

I sighed in admiration .

“Truly… that was satisfying . ”

“Fufufu, I’m honored to hear that from Haku Ane-sama! My inn’s A-Rank dinner is my pride . ”

Hmm, with those contents, calling it simply an A-Rank dinner feels a bit insipid .

“Rokuko-chan . That collection of dishes, is there a name for it? It would be sacrilegious to just call it an A-Rank dinner with those contents . ”

“… [Stu—]… No, that’s not it… umm, it’s the [Avarice Meal]!”

It answers the desire of [I want to eat a lot of delicious food], so that’s it?

To give a larger sense of satisfaction, it gives a great diversity in small amounts . What a wonderful naming sense .

“[Avarice Meal] is it? Quite a good name to go with [Cave of Desires] . ”

“Right? Oh, Haku Ane-sama . Is it fine if I take your flag . I’m collecting them . ”

“Oh my, it’s fine with me . Here . ”

I took out the small flag that was placed in the [Omelet Filled with Rice] and passed it to Rokuko-chan . Taking the opportunity, Chloe’s as well . When I took a closer look at it, the pattern on it was different .

I didn’t understand what they were for when I was eating, but I see now . They’re collectibles huh? To go so far as stimulate the desire for collecting things, incredible .

“So Haku Ane-sama, have you entered the hot spring? It feels ama~zingly good!”

“I haven’t given it a try yet… Right, it’s been a while since I’ve been in a hot spring . There’s a bath in the castle, though . ”

“… There’s a bath where Haku Ane-sama lives!? Amazing~!”

“Oh my, but isn’t there a hot spring here? We’re the same then . ”

“Ah, that’s right! Fufufu, I’m the same as Haku Ane-sama~”

Rokuko-chan looked delighted as she smiled cheerfully . Just seeing her melted my heart .

“Want to enter the hot spring with me? Haku Ane-sama . ”

“Oh my, that sounds good . ”

A hot spring… hmm, good, really good .

Although having a personal bath in your room is also good, having a large bath to go together with Rokuko-chan is better after all .

We just finished eating, but we decided to head there immediately .

“I’ve even used the indoor bath made by the hero, so I’ll teach you the proper way of using an indoor bath . ”

“The proper way! I’m looking forward to it!”

*

It was a splendid bath .

“… You really don’t wear bath clothes in an indoor bath?”

“Oh my Rokuko-chan, are you getting dizzy? Your face is turning red?”

Still, bathing wear is worn in the public bath in the imperial capital .

But this is a hot spring, a bath made by Kehma-san, a person from another world . It’s probably correct to conform with the other world’s manners… I was able to see something wonderful .

However, there was another person there and we weren’t able to be alone . It would’ve been just the two of us if that human didn’t exist… yeah, I’ll just reserve it next time, fufufu . I’ll enjoy myself next time I come .

“So then let’s get some sleep… Does Rokuko-chan want to come with us?”

“Ye~s . ”

Come to think of it, we haven’t slept together up till now .

Though dungeon cores don’t need to sleep to begin with . We only have a pseudo-human metabolism… It does speed up recovery from fatigue, though .

When we went back to our room, Chloe was already laying in her .

… What is this child doing . To go to sleep and leave her master alone… moreover, still wearing her butler clothing .

“Chloe?”

“…Ha—!? H-Haku-sama…—!”

With a single word, she suddenly jumped out of the bed and onto the floor into a [Seiza] .

… That pose (seiza) is a time-honored method of apology handed down, the first step to a [Dogeza] .

“… Well, it’s fine, sleep is necessary for you . ”

“Please forgive my rudeness…!”

However, it’s fairly unusual for Chloe to make a blunder . I wonder what caused it?

“… In truth, I decided to check to see how good the bed Haku-sama would be sleeping in was, but… it’s a wondrous sensation and before I noticed it, I…”

“Hmm… it seems to be enchanted . ”

If it’s the cause of a magic tool or something… I don’t want to think about Chloe, a succubus, succumbing to a charm though . Succubi are specialists in charm and so advanced in it they shouldn’t be effected by them .

“Chloe, feel free to continue sleeping on that one . There is another bed after all . ”

“Yes—, thank you . ”

“Heeeh, that’s unusual . It’s the first time I’ve seen Chloe like that . Well, the beds certainly do feel good though . ”

Rokuko-chan clapped the bed Chloe was resting on just now with her hand .

… Despite how strong it looks like she’s hitting it, the sound is soft isn’t it?

I also slowly touched the bed .

… Gently, my finger… sank…?

What is this? Cotton… no, it’s not?

I pressed my palm into it without thinking . It was soft, and yet elastic… oops, I almost fell into the trance as well . I moved away from the bed for a moment to look at it .

It was decorated with some tasteful engravings, it seemed to also have worth as a work of art . Just by being a design from another world, it’s probably worth around fifty silver . I myself kind of want it if that’s about the price .

But still, with this thin cover to sleep under, wouldn’t you get cold?

… Oh my . It’s warm… the temperature from Chloe, who slipped out of it, still remains .

Contrary to how thin and light it is, it has excellent heat insulation .

Hmm, I could see why Chloe would lose herself in this . It’s in a succubi’s nature to be particular about their bedding .

“Haku Ane-sama, it’d be too hot to sleep with two people under this cover, so here’s a [Towel Blanket] to use . ”

Saying that, Rokuko-chan brought the cloth that felt good from over by the [Massage Chair] .

… I could get used to this . Perhaps Kehma-san… doesn’t want to start a fight?

“Ane-sama, here, here~”

Stepping into bed before me, Rokuko-chan opened a place for me to lay and pat it… I felt an indescribably happiness that couldn’t be expressed in words . Comfortable feelings arose in my body that caused me to tremble .

I entered the bed as Rokuko-chan invited me to, and like close sisters—in truth, we really are sisters with good relations, at least I think so—and cuddled . This will be an unprecedented happy sleep .

The beast felt amazing, but honestly laying down together with Rokuko-chan was the most important part .

Dungeon cores do not require sleep . However, I haven’t had the ability to sleep together with Rokuko-chan until now .

Despite making it so that god’s vanguard wouldn’t find her, for her to live a life like this… Well, what I want to say… Kehma-san has my gratitude, maybe . Well, for now .

I will absolutely never forgive you if you make Rokuko-chan sad, you know?

For sleep like this, even one hundred gold coins wouldn’t be enough… w-well, this is different than the lodging expense assessment, so many I should give a tip as a special? Maybe I should directly pass Rokuko-chan some DP to have some pocket money .
