I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Chapter 1662: In the Cottage Illuminated by Moonlight ⑧

[Ughh…… I- I get it. This Alice-chan, who is well-known for her tenaciousness, is finally gonna give up this time.]

[……Calling yourself well-known for tenaciousness, is that really something you yourself should say?]

[In any case, I’ve already made up my mind!!! Yes, I’ve already overcome mixed bathing several times before, so there’s no need to be scared now! This’ll be easy-peasy!!!]

.

Repeatedly claiming this’ll be easy-peasy as if trying to convince myself, it doesn’t seem like she’s composed at all. Moreover, it’s not like she overcame mixed bathing, she just basically self-destructed through them…… but for the time being, it seems like she has resolved herself.

Thereupon, Alice looked back at the door we had just entered from and held up her hand, and the door lit up for a moment.

[Unnn? What did you do just now?]

[I’ve sealed it. Not even I, myself, can open that door until a certain amount of time has passed…… It’s my resolution to not turn back on this. No, well, I could technically still get out of the bathroom using Spatial Teleportation, but it’s all about the atmosphere.]

[I see, sealing the door to cut off your way out…… The changing room isn’t that spacious though, so what’s your plan for changing clothes?]

[……………………Aehh?]

She freaking self-destructed again!? This cottage may have a luxurious feel, but it’s fundamentally simple in design, so the changing room and bathtub aren’t that spacious. Well, though I say that, there’s enough space in the changing room for two people. However, as for whether an action like changing together would be something the shy Alice is comfortable with…… Well, looking at how dumbfounded she is, and the blush on her face getting redder and redder, it’s easy to know the answer.

[……So, what are you going to do? Are you going to use Spatial Teleportation and go out once…… or perhaps, while the other person is facing away, should one of us change and head to the bathroom first?]

[W- W- W- W- We can just change out of our clothes together!!! Y- Yes, this’ll be easy-peasy! Besides, considering we’re gonna bathe together after this, what’s the big deal about changing clothes together!?]

[……Don’t you seem pretty desperate?]

[I’m totally not, okay!? Only something really big can drive me to desperation!]

Alice declared, blushing and sweating heavily, that we should just change together…… but she really stinks of desperation, and the momentum brought out as she seemed to blow up is steadily piling up, seemingly leading her to self-destruction once again.

But even so, it’s not entirely without its merits that Alice, who has been so passive until now, to be heading for a more proactive direction. If it seems like she’s gonna go too far off track, I’ll rein her in, but something of this level should be alright for her.

[……Then, well, in that case, let’s change together and go in already.]

[L- L- L- L- L- Let’s do that! Kuh, Kaito-san, you’re as composed as always…… Gununu……]

[Haha……]

Alice looked frustrated and shaken, as if she had done something irreversible. Well, I can’t exactly say anything to her either…… I mean, truth be told, I don’t have as much composure either. I’m starting to feel quite nervous.

The thing is, while it’s true that I’ve experienced mixed bathing many times before…… Almost every time, our changing rooms were separate, or one of us would go in first, so this is the first time I’m changing with someone in the same room.

[Ah, errr, come to think of it, your clothes aren’t made with magic power, right?]

[Eh? Y- Yes, well, I’ve made some adjustments, so only my underwear are created with magic power…… but yes, that’s right.]

[I see……]

In the first place, people like Isis-san and Kuro created their own clothes with their magic power, so changing out of their clothes is something they can do in an instant. On the contrary, Alice wears clothes she herself crafted using actual materials, so her clothes are a bit different from theirs.

After a while, though we were a bit slow, both Alice and I started changing. With both of us falling into silence as we undressed, my heartbeats seemed to be getting quite loud, and I was getting quite nervous. No, we’re about to enter the bath together, so I find it strange that this is what I’m nervous about. It’s just, changing out of one’s clothes or seeing her in her underwear has a different kind of allure compared to being in a mixed bath…… Ahh, no, the heck am I thinking about now? I’m definitely feeling unnecessarily nervous.

[…………………..]

[…………………..]

I try to avert my guess as much as possible, but I occasionally catch a glimpse of Alice changing out of the corner of my eye. White huh…… I could see that she was wearing cute, intricately designed underwear.

While I felt the blood rushing to my face, after finishing changing and entering the bathroom, there was this strangely tense atmosphere between us. Well, with the two of us changing our clothes together, in a way, I guess that happening may have been inevitable.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Ahyiiihhh…… T- This is bad…… This pattern…… I feel like they’re gonna thoroughly describe what’s going on in that mixed bath…… Hyiiihh……]
