章 86: Relaxing
Two weeks later they've finally arrived at the eastern continent. The group landed on the port city and stayed for the night before continuing the journey.
The weather here was snowy as it was now nearing the end of the year. That's why the group changed their attire to a winter outfits, specially made by Elsie.
They drew quite a lot of attention because of the unusual attire, for the people here they would buy a portable magic heater in the form of a ring powered by the flame magic stone. Just by wearing that one could easily lived on the harsh winter.
The girls like Fia and Selianna asked Haruto why he didn't just buy the heater but he just answered that there's romance in wearing winter clothing.
Deep down he only wanted to see the beauties in his party dressed up though, what kind of man does not want to?
The result was excellent as they looked so lovely wearing scarfs, wool gloves, long sleeved jackets and coat. As a play he also made Fia wore a santa outfits, he writhed from the extreme cuteness of a fox girl dressing like a santa. Of course the person herself did not know anything about santa.
His heart was very satisfied while he was wearing a blue coat outside his usual black and orange gi. To be honest, this kind of temperature was nothing if he wanted to considering how strong his body was but well, showing off a bit time to time is not bad right? He's the only man here after all.
(AN: The coat was the one Goku wears on DBS Broly)
Well, there's another thing made him enjoyed the eastern continent. It was the fact that the majority of the people here were all beastman race. No matter where he is, he never forgets his otaku's heart.
Some of the girls in his party looked at him with exasperated gazes while some of them looked with lukewarm gazes as they saw him sneaking glances on various animal ears, women's only of course, men besides him can just screw off.
Fia said "You can pet my ears and tails too you know?" She could say this kind of thing so casually now, very much different when they first met. Haruto still accepted though.
And so, a peaceful week and a half passed by as they enjoyed the new environment here. Now that they spent their time leisurely it was soon the time for the tournament. They made their way to the place the tournament would be held.
It was located in a small island, a neutral zone outside the beast empire's territory. Each continents would have one or two islands like this for global events such as this time Tenkaichi Budokai.
That's why, there's no tax for foreigners to come in here. Adventurers could freely travelled the world without paying tax but the same could not be said for ordinary citizens like merchants or nobles that were attending the annual yearly event like the world tournament. That's why the tournament was held in a neutral zone outside any country's territory.
It was very crowded with people from all over the places coming here either to participate or to spectate. Even though it was a small island it still extremely large to make a small country here, perhaps even larger than Singapore back on earth that's why there's no problem.
The one managing this neutral zones was the church officials. Their main territory was located in the central continent, the holy land of the goddess Eisha. They never engaged in worldly affairs, that's why every countries could leave the management for this kind of thing to them peacefully.
Haruto's group was having a hard time to find a place to stay because most of them were booked by the people coming here. It was not until they visited more than fifty inns that they finally get a large room for everyone. By this time no one would feel so embarrassed to share a room with Haruto. Though a few of them still blushed like Elsie, Kaori, and Fia.
The first thing the boy mentioned did after placing his belongings on the room was making a silly smile as he walked towards a certain place in the inn. There's a towel on his shoulder as he opened the door leading to a large open air onsen.
That's right, an onsen! As a former japanese, this kind of thing excites him the most. He was very happy hearing this inn have the facility when he came here.
At this time he didn't notice it was not only him that was very excited to enter the onsen. That's why when he was relaxing his body in the hot spring with a loose expression on his face, the door suddenly opened, signalling the arrival of a few people.
"Uwaa, it's really an onsen!"
"Fumu, this thing rarely exists outside the eastern continent"
"Heh heh, it's been a long time since I entered a hot spring. There's a lot happened during my stay Rikka's house after all."
"Fufu, Asami-san already a lot more cheerful since then isn't it~"
"W-We really doing this? Maybe it's better to wait until later...."
"Eee~? But Kao-chan looks the most excited though."
"I-I-I'm not! What are you saying Elly-chan I wonder!? I wonder!?"
Lovely voices that made Haruto's heart almost stopped sounded from his back. Turning his head while stuttering like a mechanical doll, he could see figures of goddesses in their glory form only covered by a thin towel.
"W-Why are you guys here....?"
His lip was twitching as he gazes upon the smooth and alluring skin of his comrades. It was so tempting that his inner demon already shouted "Go get em yeah!".
"To take a bath of course, what are you talking about?"
The nee-san asked with face as if there's nothing wrong at all. There's a lot Haruto wanted to retort at on her statement but he remembered back in Japan this nee-san of him time to time would pull him to take a bath together even until he entered high school and she entered college.
Before he didn't pay much attention because he was very busy with his duty after their parents death and also because Asami always acted so natural that he saw no problem there but now that he thinks about it there's something wrong in here....
There's no way she's actually trying to brainwash him into thinking it was natural for siblings to bath together right? It can't be hahaha.
And so, just 'like always' Nee-san s~o casually dipped right next to him with zero distance between their bodies. Even the other girls stared with amazement on their eyes.
"N-Nee-san? Aren't you being too close?" Blood started to rise on a certain part of his body as he looked at the alluring wet skin of Asami who tied her hair in a bun.
"Hm? What? Is there something wrong?" She smiled gently.
"...."
Somehow he shuddered seeing her supposedly gentle smile, why is it?
There's a certain priest girl who was making "Indecent, this is indecent!!" from behind but her nosebleed made everyone rolled their eyes as Elsie innocently asked "Kao-chan could it be you're a closet pervert?" to which Kaori-san immediately made a grand retort with flustered face.
Rikka smiled helplessly and moved to Haruto's other side. Fia took on his front side with Selianna on the back. Kaori and Elsie were left with no spot because of the former using all her efforts to convince she was not a closet pervert on her 'older sister'.
"W-Wait, isn't it bad if someone came here?" Haruto's tension was at the peak thanks to his current predicament. Still, he needed to point out his worry because there's no way he would let someone else eyeing these girls.
"Don't worry about it milord, we already made countermeasures." Selianna said
"What are you..." He made a puzzled look and turned his head. The moment his eyes made contact with Kaori, she immediately averted her gaze.
"...."
I see, this girl is the culprit, he thought.
She used Soul Magic to manipulate the people in here to give a certain suggestion similar to brainwashing. That's why there's no one going to come here.
Soul Magic was very terrifying because it could also interfere with someone's mind and these lovely girls just casually abused it!
"Ugh, fine then you girls asked for it, don't blame me for being impolite because it's you guys that tempted me first." He gave up and decided to enjoy this heavenly situation.
Although he's quite innocent, he's not going to pull back when he was provoked. Only foolish japanese protagonist would run away in this kind of circumstances.
Some of them started to make cold sweat because it looks like they actually awakened a sleeping lion but it's already too late to escape. What happened after this is another story for later time.
