Chapter 306 Naked Conversations
“Fuaah… S-so this is a hot spring…!”
Belle was deeply impressed after getting into the hot spring .
Elsa and Belle’s homeland, Shouro empire’s central areas, didn’t really have rain that much so there wasn’t really a custom of entering a bathtub .
“How is it? Does it feel good?”
“Y-Yes . Really good…”
* * *
“Ohh… . ”
Barou was stretching out in the men’s section .
He was all alone .
As he relaxed in the hot spring, he felt his piled up fatigue slowly disappeared .
“To think such a facility exists . ”
He poured hot water on himself and cleaned his whole body before entering so he was following the etiquette .
And then, a few villagers came in as well .
“Oh, I thought we were the first ones but seems like we got beaten this time . ”
“Idiot, didn’t you see the clothes lying in the changing room?”
“Hey, nii-chan, who are you?”
2 men and a kid came in .
Barou panickedly greeted them .
“Ah-N-nice to meet you . I-I am Barou . Umm, I was brought here by Jin-sama and…”
He got really confused there but it seemed that the message he was trying to convey had already been understood .
“Oh, I see . Jin’s guest!”
“So, how are you liking the village?”
“Ah, yes, I just arrived yesterday night and so I don’t really understand but this hot spring is really nice!”
“Right? Jin built it, you know?”
The men said with pride . Barou was surprised to hear it .
“Eh? Jin-sama built this too?”
He wondered what exactly was Jin, giving them a medicine which healed Belle overnight and building this magnificent hot spring .
“So, where did you come from?”
This time the kid asked .
“Eh, ahh, I come from an empire called Shouro… I guess…”
His homeland was the Shouro empire but he had come from Serroa kingdom . It was quite a difficult question for him to answer .
“Shouro empire… That means… You’re from the same place as Elsa-sensei and Mine-sensei!”
“Eh, ah, I see . They did say they were also from Shouro empire, I think . ”
“Yep . Now, they are teaching the kids how to read and write in this village . ”
“Teach?”
Barou was surprised once again . It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the villagers in a normal village do not get the chance to study .
The ones enrolling for apprenticeship to merchants or the ones serving the nobles barely get to study .
“This… is a farm village, isn’t it?”
That was what he thought from what he saw this morning .
“Yea . We pay our taxes with wheat so it’s probably a farm village . ”
“But still you people study?”
“Yep . Jin said so, that it is better to start studying from childhood . Well, he has this persuasiveness . And he has a reasonable thinking so nobody opposed it . ”
That’s also true . When it comes to needy farm villages, it isn’t unnatural for parents to start making their child also work as soon as they can rather than making them study .
And even the village Barou was in did the same .
Barou and Belle didn’t like that village and so half-forcibly went with a band of merchants who had visited their village . They then luckily found a noble who would hire them .
