Chapter 94: August 2004 Jjimjilbang

In the end, Artoria and Mordred, who wiped out all the desserts in the cafe….

​

Mordred had given up on eating dessert long ago.

​

"As expected…, it's hard to beat Father… (Thud.)"

​

Mordred collapsed onto the floor, and Artoria was happily eating cake.

​

Eating like that would give you diabetes, but since she wasn't an ordinary person to begin with, I didn't particularly worry about that.

​

While Fiore was quietly savoring and enjoying the taste…

​

"Somehow, I'm envious."

​

One could see her admiring Artoria's constitution of not gaining weight no matter how much she ate.

​

And so, the customers left the store, unable to bear their envy, and we ended up completely occupying the cafe, creating an unintended situation.

​

That was… except for the cafe's drinks, the desserts were depleted.

​

"Shall we move on to the next place now!"

​

"As expected, I can't surpass the King…."

​

"Master? But that's unrelated to being a King, isn't it?"

​

At Tamamo's words, everyone nodded, and we moved on to the next location.

​

The cafe cost came to roughly over 2.5 million yen, but with overflowing capital, I decided not to worry about it.

​

And so, we arrived at a large and spacious jjimjilbang and bathhouse.

​

After each receiving a key, we put our clothes in the lockers and changed into jjimjilbang clothes.

​

And then, each with a towel over their shoulder, they came out of the changing room.

​

"So this is a jjimjilbang. Sweating out with hot air in the sauna…."

​

"Don't block it with mana release or Magic Resistance while sweating…."

​

"It's not that bad. Honestly, if such a culture existed in Britain…. Well, it's a difference in era, but it can't be helped."

​

"I doubt it has any meaning for Tamamo since she has no waste products, but still, this experience doesn't seem bad."

​

"I've experienced this through training. Well, I can easily withstand around 100 degrees."-Li Shuwen

​

"A moderate place is good for me."-Fiore

​

"Hmm…. Then I'll choose the same place as Fiore. I am a magus, but in the end, my body is that of an ordinary person, so I'd like to avoid places as hot as heroes can handle…."-Gorde

​

"I'm sorry. I think I should stay and watch over my Master. I probably can't withstand it."

​

"If that's the case, don't worry. I will protect her."-Bazett

​

"Is that so…. Sorry, but I leave the rest to you."

​

"Then, I should also have an endurance match with Mr. Li Shuwen and Siegfried. Somehow, I've become competitive."-Chiron.

​

"Ugh, I should also go to a moderate place…."-Olga Marie

​

"Chirp…. I'll cook here!"

​

Wait… are you planning to drive the staff here to despair!?

​

"Aaaa, I'll go wherever Akira wants to go."

​

"Then, I've also become competitive. Let's see who can last the longest."-Lancelot

​

"Only fools have gathered… to willingly enter a fire room… everyone's crazy."-Medea

​

In the end, Lancelot, Li Shuwen, Chiron, and Siegfried entered the 100-degree sauna room and began to sweat.

​

No, it looked like they were going to die.

​

I never imagined there would be people entering a room so hot it seemed you couldn't even breathe.

​

Anyway, I safely entered the sauna room, which was around 60 degrees.

​

"Hoo, it's still bearable. How long do you do this for?"

​

"You can do it for 1 or 2 hours depending on your preference, but basically, you don't exceed 20-30 minutes, then go out and rest for 30 minutes before going in again. The goal is to sweat, but if you do it wrong, you can get dehydrated, so 'moderation' is good. Look over there, they have hourglasses prepared, right? When you see that hourglass has run out, you can leave."

​

There were various hourglasses.

​

5-minute, 10-minute, 15-minute, and 30-minute hourglasses were placed separately.

​

And after 1 minute passed, Olga Marie….

​

"My head is spinning…."

​

It seems her heat resistance was lacking.

​

"I'm going to sleep for a bit… I'm getting tired…."

​

"You're going to sleep here!? Isn't that dangerous!? Rest outside."

​

"I want to take off my clothes…"

​

Then, Bazett threw Olga Marie out of the sauna room.

​

"Rest comfortably…."

​

Olga Marie was thus thrown out by Bazett and reportedly fainted on the resting floor.

​

'The treatment of Olga Marie has gotten worse!?'

​

"Hmm…, it's moderate and not bad."

​

"Right? Are the people who went to the 100-degree room okay?"

​

"Serves them right. If they die like that, it'll be a shameful death for a hero who doesn't know self-restraint. Master~"

​

"Tamamo, come here."

​

"Yes~ why did you call me?"

​

"Sit. A tail pillow is better than a knee pillow."

​

In the end, Tamamo's tail was messed up.

​

"Hiccup…. Tails are sensitive~"

​

"It's okay, because it's Tamamo."

​

"What kind of logic is that!?"

​

"Canine (family) logic."

​

"Are you teasing me by calling me a fox!?"

​

"No."

​

"Hoo, it's a hot place. You're making it even hotter. You want me to collapse, don't you!?"

​

I nodded.

​

"Why!? Perhaps to knock Tamamo out and then…."

​

And then Tiamat hit Tamamo's head and said.

​

"Dispel earthly desires."

​

"Gah!? No, why are you saying 'dispel earthly desires'!?"

​

"Beasts (including Beasts) are not allowed."

​

"Tamamo is a beast, yes! But in the past, I was famous as a peerless beauty!"

​

"But… by my standards, Tamamo is ultimately a cute fox."

​

"Gah!?"

​

Tamamo hung her head as if a 1-ton weight had fallen on her.

​

No, she lowered it so much you could hear her forehead hitting the floor.

​

"It's just, a master's pet life suits me, huh…. Sob sob. I shouldn't have turned into a fox back then."

​

I patted Tamamo.

​

"Wow, that's vicious… is this when you use the saying 'give poison and then give medicine'?"

​

"It's beyond belief."

​

"But for that fox, it's a suitable fox."

​

"Well, it's her own karma~"

​

"Mordred, I don't think you're in a position to say that?"

​

Artoria's gaze seemed to say, 'I won't forget this grudge.'

​

"Everyone, calm down, when we go out of the sauna, shall we drink something?"

​

"Hmm…. I'm not sure if it's a convenience store, but I think I saw them selling roasted eggs and canned drinks. Also, there seemed to be cup noodles and rice."

​

"You remember all that…. Your appetite really doesn't go anywhere."

​

"Huh? You got a problem with Father!? If she wants to eat, is that a crime!!"

​

Then, Artoria, with a red face, slammed Mordred down.

​

"Gah!?"

​

I don't know if she controlled her strength, but a tremendous impact occurred at a level where the ground didn't break or collapse.

​

Enough that if anyone was active here, they might mistakenly think a small earthquake had occurred.

​

Anyway, Mordred was momentarily knocked out by Artoria's strike.

​

"Is it a crime to memorize it…."

​

"No, I'll buy it for you…."

​

'(Whisper whisper (Even though she's a Servant, the fact that she still passes out is surprising to me.))'-Fiore

​

'(Whisper whisper (I wonder if she has the Root or a black hole in her stomach…))'-Gorde

​

'(Whisper whisper (I think talking behind someone's back so openly is a bad habit?))'-Bazett

​

"Everyone is having fun."-Medea

​

"Akira, hungry?"-Tiamat

​

"Hmm…. First, shall we go out and eat something?"-Akira

​

"I agree."-Artoria

​

In the end, we all went out together to eat something.

​

Some ordered ramen…, some ordered boiled eggs, some ordered cool cider or sweet drinks, and some ordered one of everything.

​

While looking around like that….

​

There was one restaurant occupied by Benienma.

​

"Chirp! Welcome! To Benienma's restaurant~"

​

"No, this isn't your restaurant, is it?"

​

"Chirp, I borrowed it for a while. The owner asked me to sell things on my own while he's away for an hour. And I made cold noodles in advance, knowing you'd come here. Would you like to try some?"

​

And at Benienma's words, we temporarily placed the things we bought from the store on a table and looked at the cold noodles.

​

There were various vegetables and a boiled egg on top.

​

The broth looked cool, and thanks to the noodles that seemed chewy, it looked appetizing.

​

After sweating in a hot place and with the cold noodles, everyone swallowed their saliva, and we began our meal.

​

=========

Meanwhile, the story of the foolish four

​

"Hoo…. Sir Chiron, let's go out now."

​

"Hohohoho, I'm unfazed by this much. Sir Lancelot, you're sweating profusely, are you okay?"

​

"Sir Siegfried also seems to be overdoing it…."

​

"I'm fine."

​

"……."

​

Li Shuwen was just quietly meditating.

​

With an atmosphere as if he had assimilated with the intense heat, no one could speak to Li Shuwen.

​

"Amazing concentration…."

​

"Hmm…. Still, it's boring just sitting still. How about we have a conversation?"

​

"That's a good idea…."

​

Lancelot, after pondering for a moment, brought up a topic.

​

"Do you have people you like?"

​

It was a question about love, but it seemed like a word Lancelot shouldn't have uttered.

​

"People you like? Are you perhaps talking about romantic relationships?"

​

"Yes, yes, that's right."

​

"Hmm…, the aftermath isn't good, so I don't want to remember. During the Olympus era, the gods had many problems. My daughter, because of the incident of being turned into a horse…."

​

"Oh my…, that's a regrettable incident."

​

"I'm sorry, but me too. I have a wife, the woman Kriemhild, but when I was alive, there was a possibility she would be in danger because of me, so in the end, I welcomed death myself, but I still see it as a regrettable thing."

​

"You sacrificed yourself to protect a woman, but what about that woman's feelings…. You are a cruel person. But if I were in a situation where a woman I loved would be in danger if I didn't die, I might have sacrificed myself too. I understand…."

​

Lancelot nodded and acknowledged it, and Chiron and Siegfried began to stare at him.

​

"Hmm, in the end, I don't think I can hold out, so I'll go outside."

​

In the end, when Lancelot tried to flee, the two ran to catch him.

​

They caught Lancelot, and in the end, they got to taste the cold noodles Benienma served.
