Chapter 15 of Section A: Hot Spring Inn (Lusha)

"Whew...... Eat full, eat full!" Lucina patted her stomach and sighed contentedly.

Lusha, who had already eaten half a bowl of noodles, curled aside and quietly drank warm milk. Minia, the dango, is used as a toy by the three cats raised by the proprietress Wendy Norn and is pushed around on the ground. The dango, who seemed to be having a good time, was shouting happily.

After stepping out of the weapons shop, the uneasiness Lusha had felt completely disappeared in an instant. There was always such a feeling of uneasiness on the road, but Lusa felt that this time it must be because she had just escaped her frightened life and was still a little uncomfortable.

Life in Neverwinter was reassuring for Lusa: although it was only a few days of happiness, it was a long time since this easy life. The last time I met a country so kind to Aya was three years ago.

If there is no curse...... I guess I'm just as excited as Lucina. Lutha lifted her hood a little and looked at the chubby aunt: this woman exuded a relaxed aura that made me like her—she felt like the fat aunt selling cakes across the street from her house.

"Lucina has a great appetite...... Aunt Norn looked at Lucina in surprise as she saw the six sea bowls piled up in front of her. Each bowl was once full of green vegetable noodles. "It's a shame, though, not to taste the wild boar - I bought it from the hunter this morning. The pig was so strong that it took six arrows to kill it. In our snow, such strong wild boars taste good when roasted. ”

"Thanks, Auntie, but we Aya don't usually eat meat. Lucina said happily, "But I didn't expect to be able to give us 100 los a day for food and shelter by washing clothes......

"Because it's still very difficult to wash clothes in permafrost, not to mention Aya's purifying power allows clothes to be washed without getting wet. That way you can take the clothes on the spot......" Aunt Norn filled Lucina's cup with milk again.

"If you want to do your laundry, you have to go to the hot springs. However, there are still a few people who have hot springs at home, and open-air public hot spring pools and fountains are often unusable due to the weather, so no one washes clothes outside when it snows heavily. After a slight pause, she took a sip of her beer and continued, "Besides, even if you wash your clothes outside, it's hard to dry them at home for a month—but we can fix it." And because there are very few outsiders, there are not many people staying in the hotel at night. The income is almost entirely dependent on laundry - everyone calls it a hot spring laundry, and even I consider calling it that. ”

After saying this, the aunt looked at Lusha a little strangely: "This kid doesn't like to talk, he has been silent." ”

"Well, she's very introverted. Lucina preemptively explained, "Let's keep talking, Auntie?"

Secretly raised her head to look at Lucina, who was chatting with her aunt, and the sad Lusa lowered her body and picked up the ball. Whenever this happens, she can't help but want to do it.

Minia is a pink bean paste dumpling...... She pinched the soft, elastic dumplings, and the dumplings looked at her curiously with their eyes.

Making eye contact with Minia was one of Lusa's favorite things to do, and it gave her a little comfort. Even, after a long period of practice, Lusha has been able to distinguish several expressions of dango - many people think that there is only a mouth (dango only opens its mouth when eating food. And feeding sweets will make Dango happy, as well as speed up the recovery of the body) and Dango with eyes have only one expression.

Dango is edible. As you eat the amount of the ball, the size of the gnocchi changes back to the remaining amount, and the radius of the ellipse decreases. The amount of these losses will rise back over a period of time - she doesn't know exactly what speed, and she tries not to eat the dumplings because it will be uncomfortable to hold when she gets smaller.

On the road, dango are often used as pillows. It's soft and elastic, and it's very comfortable to pillow on.

Looking at her sister who was talking about Aya's weight problem again, Lusha, who lowered her head, picked up the warm milk and drank it down.

"Lucina is so light...... Aya's body is really peculiar. The aunt joked: "According to the moment I just hugged...... It's only about forty pounds, right? Like you Aya, a gust of wind from the Permafrost can blow you away!hahaha......"

Lucina laughed too, and then the two continued their discussion. Because the words are very speculative, Lucina seems to be in a good mood. She began to talk about the many new things she had learned from the trip.

There are many topics that interest Lusa, but she has to hold back.

The power of the curse was still not clearly quantified by Lusa. She can't let anyone close to her take risks, so she doesn't join in any intimate activities.

"Lusa, what is your relationship with Lucina?" the aunt asked suddenly, which made Lusa look up slightly.

"Master, servant, sister and couple relationship...... Lucina said happily, "since Lusa was very young. ”

“...... Well. Lutha blushed slightly. Almost exclusively women, Aia, who is a pet clan, has been bisexual since the moment she was created. And Lusa has slept with Lucina since she was very young, and the relationship has always been close. Since embarking on this cursed road, the two have relied on each other for their lives, supporting each other through night after night.

Lusa had always been grateful to Lucina, and had been doing so more and more lately - Lucina didn't actually have to leave with her, she had everything in Aloa that Aiya could only dream of. As long as Lucina is tired of this life on the run, she can go back to Eloa.

"Even if you don't mention what you're riding when I'm gone, or our relationship, or even if you're my master—how can I explain to your parents if I go back to Eloa halfway?" Lucina was furious, "So don't mention it again!"

"That's ...... I really can't see it. The aunt was very surprised, and laughed again: "The personalities of the two are really different!"

"Ahh

"Sister......" Lusha's face was flushed and hot, and she hurriedly stopped the two who were on the rise: one was talking happily, and the other was fascinated by what she was hearing. And according to Lusha's experience, the next topic to talk about must be stopped here.

"It's not too early. Auntie looked at the clock: "It's already eleven o'clock...... Let's go to the hot springs?" After the aunt finished speaking, she made another joke: "Moreover, going to bed early is not only good for the girl's skin, but also for a little taller! ”

Lucina laughed happily again, which perfectly matched the frequency of Auntie's laughter: everyone knew that Aiya couldn't grow tall after the age of fifteen, and Aya's skin didn't need to be maintained.

Just as Lucina jumped out of her chair and was about to walk through the west gate with Lusa to the hot springs, the door of the inn slowly opened after three rhythmic sounds.

The Frozen Lands' unique Ice Moon Moonlight slowly swayed into the city as the gate opened, rendering the ground ice blue.

A man stepped in through the moonlight, his figure becoming clearer.

"Excuse me, I hope it's not closed yet. With the figure unfolding in the moonlight and the voice of someone speaking, Lusha got up excitedly.

"Cyberdart...... her head was a little dizzy.

"Yo!" The elf raised his right hand slightly.
