Volume 5 Chapter 19 Service Service
The silhouette visible through the frosted glass was clearly that of a woman.
"..."
Is it Lisha? Kanami?
Or is it just my imagination that she seems to be undressing?
The period of time I was lost in thought was quite long.
"Hey, wait! I'm in here!"
Is she trying to come in without knowing I'm here? In such a small house?
My shouts were in vain as the door opened.
"Oh, excuse me..."
"Aaaah!"
It was Lisha who entered, wrapped in a bath towel. A large part of her usually hidden pure white skin was exposed, captivating the field of my vision.
"W-Why, why Lisha?"
"I thought I would wash your back."
"But you've never done something like this before!"
And I never asked for such an option!
I quickly turned my back to Lisha in the small bathtub to calm myself down.
The glimpse of Lisha I saw for a moment was flushed with steam or embarrassment, emitting a seductive charm different from usual.
That was dangerous. It was an overwhelming violence that destroyed my brain in an instant.
Certainly, Lisha has been working hard on cooking and such lately, but this kind of effort was unexpected.
Wait, calm down, Yamamoto Yuusuke. Don't panic.
I am a seasoned former Hero. I have already experienced being ambushed in the bath and sneaked into bed. When everyone sees my true face, they always say, "You're not a Hero-sama!" and start chasing me. 90% assassin of the people who try to continue without getting upset are assassins.
...Phew.
It made me shed a few tears, but thanks to that, I regained my composure.
The opponent is just a sheltered sixteen-year-old girl. She lacks both skills and allure.
Don't think she can do anything to me with that. Okay, let's handle this like an adult and ask her to leave.
"Lisha, listen——"
"What's wrong?"
I turned around with determination, but Lisha's face was in front of me.
Her golden hair stuck to her cheeks due to the humidity, and her lips were glossier than usual.
"Hmph!"
"What are you doing, Yuusuke-san?!"
I immediately punched myself and shifted my gaze to the side. Oh no, oh no, oh no. She's more dangerous than any honey trap. I'm being killed by her skin color.
"For now, I'll wash your back, okay?"
"It's clearly too late for that! My whole body is already sparkling clean."
"But you'll miss some spots if you do it yourself."
"Am I a baby? Besides, isn't this situation a bit... indecent?"
Of course, it is. If indirect kisses lead to indecent judgments, then this is definitely out.
However, Lisha said in a calm voice.
"Indecent? Certainly, it's a bit embarrassing that my legs are exposed, but, um, the level of exposure is lower than a swimsuit, and I've had my body washed in a bath before."
"Hmm, I see."
No, what is she thinking?
Certainly, it's less revealing than a swimsuit, but that's not the issue here. I still don't understand her sense of shame...!
"Yuusuke-san."
"Alright, alright, just give me a towel for now. It's fine for you, but not for me."
If we continue this back and forth here, my body temperature might skyrocket and I might die.
Anyway, let's satisfy Lisha and get her out as soon as possible.
I wrapped the towel around my waist and sat on a chair.
I could tell that Lisha was foaming up the body soap behind me. She really intends to wash my back. In the church, there might have been someone who would help with bathing, but this is a small bathroom in a single-person household.
Naturally, the distance feels close.
I can feel Lisha's presence as if it's within reach. I hate my sharp senses right now.
"Alright, here I go."
"O-Okay."
Soft foam and the sensation of the towel touched my back, moving up and down. The slow and gentle movements were somewhat ticklish, but more than that, they felt good.
Come to think of it, when was the last time someone washed my back?
When staying at the palace or the mansions of nobles, there were servants who specialized in assisting with bathing, but to be honest, I was not used to it.
Lisha's touch may have been clumsy compared to those people, but I could feel my body relaxing. After starting to wash, Lisha said,
"Yuusuke-san, you have traveled to various places in Asteris, haven't you?"
A small voice was drowned in the sound of water.
After the incident with Larkan, I explained everything to Lisha, but she did not delve too deeply into his time as a hero.
