Chapter 155 Routine Matters
As the saying goes, doctors don't see men and women, and similarly, bathhouse attendants don't see men and women either.
At least, that's how it is for Master Bu.
Darkness sighed as she looked at the unchanging loach. Talking about feelings with a child was simply absurd.
However, Broly's scrubbing skills were indeed very good. Her body was weak, and the tingling and numb feeling of her muscles being rubbed by a pair of small hands was extremely comfortable. If she hadn't bitten a towel in her mouth in time, she would definitely have made strange noises.
After Darkness's happiness level stagnated, Broly threw her into the bathtub.
"That's it?"
Darkness was somewhat disappointed; she wanted to enjoy herself a little longer, but unexpectedly, she was thrown into the water.
However, the situation is still acceptable, and she feels much better now.
"I never expected someone so young to be so skilled!"
The young female knight, lying on the edge of the bathtub, sighed sincerely, somewhat impressed by the boy's scrubbing skills.
"Of course, don't you even know who taught him that technique!"
Aqua raised her head, as if scrubbing someone's body was some kind of amazing skill.
"Did you teach him?"
Darkness looked at Aqua with some surprise, as if she couldn't believe that the high priest had such abilities.
You don't believe me?
"Some people don't believe it."
Upon hearing this, Aqua stood up from the bathtub, walked over, grabbed the tail of the boy who was scrubbing her, and lifted Broly onto the specially made scrubbing bed.
"Lie down and let Master show this golden-haired knight what he's got!"
Broly: "..."
He was used as a demonstration subject, and more than a month later, he was scolded by his own master again.
"You really taught him!"
After reading it, Darkness exclaimed in amazement.
"I, Aqua, never lie. But right now, he's the one rubbing me. Hmm, Broly, rub my right shoulder a little more."
Fortunately, there are no child labor protection laws in this other world, otherwise, things like this where someone lies down and enjoys a boy's bathing service would definitely be criticized.
"Do you shower like this every day?"
"What's wrong?"
"I'm so envious."
Darkness was somewhat envious of the days when she could be served while bathing. Although she could ask maids to help her when she bathed at home, those maids would at most scrub her back or something, nothing compared to the comfort of a full-body massage like this.
"Darkness, if you like being rubbed like this, you can come to me for rubbing you anytime."
Broly invited Darkness to get a body scrub. Although the happiness points earned from a body scrub weren't many, they added up.
Anyway, since I'm already doing the same thing for Aqua, doing the same thing for Darkness won't take much more effort.
If possible, Broly even wanted to rub Wiz's hands too.
However, the Lich Lady's shop doesn't have bathrooms, and as an undead, she doesn't have normal physiological needs. She's rarely seen sweating, so she probably doesn't have such needs.
"Is that so? Then I shall humbly accept your offer."
Darkness hesitated for a moment, but still accepted, and her happiness level rose by two points, showing how happy she was.
"Speaking of which, besides scrubbing your master's back like this, do you also scrub Miss Marian's back like this?"
Everyone was soaking in the bathtub, making the space feel a bit cramped. Darkness suddenly asked a question, as if something had occurred to her.
Boys these days may not have that feeling of being with girls yet, but Darkness wants to figure out in advance how many rivals she will have in the future, besides Aqua and Wiz.
"No, I've never rubbed Marian like that, because Marian isn't my wife."
Broly shook his head and answered honestly.
"Hey, isn't Miss Marian your wife? I think she's quite pretty."
With her wine-red long hair, light green eyes, and somewhat angular features, she could be considered a rather dashing female fighter. Although not everyone may like this type of woman, calling her a beauty wouldn't be a problem.
Isn't it pretty?
Broly thought about it and realized that might be true, so he nodded: "Marianne is quite beautiful, but she's definitely not my wife. And since she's not my wife, I don't think it's appropriate for us to shower together, although I can't quite explain why..."
"Ah, what else could it be? Marian is already twenty-seven years old. She's old enough to be your mother. Broly, you're growing up. It's perfectly normal that you don't want to bathe with an old auntie your mother's age."
Aqua made careless jokes about Marian, and Broly was unsure whether to tell his master that Marian was right outside the bathroom door.
"Hey, where are my spare clothes?"
After taking a shower, Aqua discovered that her clothes were gone, and only a patched-up outfit remained in her changing basket.
"Oh dear, what bad luck! A thieving cat that talks behind people's backs just came into the house, and I saw it steal your clothes!"
Marian said something as she passed by the door.
Aqua: "..."
Knowing that the other person had overheard what she said in the bathroom, she felt a little embarrassed and wanted to explain.
Unfortunately, Marianne did not listen to Aqua's excuses, nor was she prepared to hand over Aqua's clothes.
In the end, even this goddess had no choice but to wear old clothes with patches.
"Broly, we're going to buy our own house!"
Aqua said somewhat sullenly, feeling that living under someone else's roof and having to be mindful of Marian's mood made her want a home where she could be in charge.
"Master Aqua, we don't have the money to buy a house right now."
Broly reminded them that since the swimsuit competition, their money had been almost entirely spent. Although they had done a few commissioned tasks afterward, the amount was not large, barely enough to cover their daily expenses.
And recently I've been working on developing a vitality potion, and haven't left the house for many days, so suddenly wanting to buy a house is really a problem.
Although Axel is located in a remote area, it is far from the main battlefield of the Demon King's army, making it a very suitable place to settle down. Therefore, the housing prices in the city are not very cheap.
Of course, with some effort and time, one can still buy a house, but Broly felt it wasn't a good idea for his mentor to leave after being overheard talking badly about others and then retaliating.
At the very least, we should wait until Master Aqua apologizes properly to Sister Marian, and until Sister Marian, who took them in when they first arrived in this world, calms down.
Aqua was a forgetful person, and Marian didn't hold grudges. After a good night's sleep, Aqua's clothes returned, and Aqua seemed to have forgotten about buying a house.
. . . .
In the days that followed, Broly's life was uneventful. Every day he would help Wiz sell goods in the morning and take Darkness, who had been infused with life energy, out at noon to expend his physical and mental energy.
While Darkness was being beaten, they would use their "Flower, Bird, Wind, and Moon" skills to help her rejuvenate.
Of course, occasionally they would actually go camping, bring food and have a picnic, and only when Darkness's energy was exhausted in the evening would they return to Axel with the prepared vitality potion and the exhausted Darkness.
They part ways at the crossroads on the beginner's street. While Wiz returns to the magic item shop with the potion, Broly takes Darkness back to Marian's house and helps the knight girl scrub her body in the bathroom to earn happiness points.
Darkness went from being shy at first to gradually getting used to this meticulous scrubbing service. She could even make her own requests to Broly, the scrubbing master, just like a regular customer, such as asking him to scrub harder.
However, if you really use a little more force, Darkness will start making all sorts of strange noises, revealing an expression of pain and pleasure.
Broly suspected that one day in the future, this bathroom might witness an extreme tragedy like someone being rubbed to death.
However, with Aqua around, even if Darkness was really damaged, she could be restored. Broly then boldly satisfied Darkness's various needs.
One day, while rubbing Darkness's arm, Broly used a little too much force, causing Darkness's arm to make a "smack" sound.
"Ah, my hand is broken, my hand is broken, Aqua, heal, heal~"
"Ha, why should I treat a wanton woman like you? Didn't you ask for your arm to be broken? Anyway, you can find pleasure in pain, so let's just leave it at that."
Aqua, with a "do not disturb" attitude, actually taught Darkness a lesson. Although she eventually cured Darkness, Darkness's masochistic symptoms subsided somewhat after the incident.
At least, when it comes to scrubbing her body, she no longer dares to let Broly be too rough on her.
In the second month since arriving in this world, and in the third week after Vitality Potions were put on sale at Wiz's shop, the Vitality Potions, which had been selling rather lukewarmly, suddenly experienced a buying frenzy.
