Chapter 205 [Interlude]
After I had dinner, I prepared for a bath.
A technique passed down by my master, medicinal bath!
"Alrighty! Mercury-sannn, the water is boiling~"
Mercury-san's bath has turned into a magic tool.
Just by channeling magic power, the bath water boils.
Hmm, convenient!
"Thanks~ Oh, what a nice smell!"
"Yes! It's a bath with fatigue recovery effects, filled with [just some medicinal herbs]!"
"Okay. By the way, what are those 'just some medicinal herbs'?"
"They are Yggdrasil leaves!"
"Yeah, those are super rare items, but I'm too tired to care anymore."
"Got it!"
"Well, I'll go change now."
"Take your time~"
I step out of the changing room.
Phew.
"Why aren't you joining her in the bath?"
Tai-chan asks in human form.
"Oh, come on, stop teasing me. There's no way we're bathing together."
"Hehe? Why not~? Why not~?"
...Well, because, it's embarrassing. Ugh!
"Tai-chan, you're so mean."
"Haha! Just go out with her already."
"It's impossible. A country bumpkin like me and a city girl like Mercury-san would never date."
"Nyahaha! Don't worry, no one calls my lord a country bumpkin anymore."
"Is that so?"
"It is. You've already adapted well to the city life."
Hmm... I wonder...
But well, it's true that I'm not as confused as before.
"But... even if I like her, does Mercury-san like me back?"
"Shall I go ask her for you?"
"Huh!? No way... no no no! It's embarrassing, so stop it!"
"If you keep saying that, you'll never get a girlfriend."
"Ugh... I don't want that either..."
"And since Mercury is so attractive, she might end up with someone else, you know?"
"I don't want that either..."
Tai-chan smiles and pats my head.
"Then you just have to make a move. Go for it. Don't worry, I'll help you pick up the pieces."
"...Tai-chan, are you enjoying this?"
"Nyahaha!"
She's definitely enjoying it! What a mean cat!
