"Hehe, the blessing of the galaxy, my current guild card level is about to reach E-rank~"

After all, Xinghe handed over all the defeated monster materials to Nina to deal with, so it is normal to accumulate some guild card points.

On the way home, Xinghe was the same as usual, and hunting a horned rabbit could be regarded as the end of the day.

"Stella, we're back~"

"Nina is back, huh? What about the galaxy? ”

"He~ is in the back, and will be back soon...... Let's go talk for a while, let's go~"

"But ......"

Since the bathroom was set up by Xinghe in the storage room at the back of his home, he was now adding water to make a fire in it.

At this time, the water was boiled, and when they had finished eating, the bath water was ready.

After Xinghe took care of the bathroom, he went home.

Seeing that Stella was chatting with Nina, Xinghe handed Stella the horned rabbit in his hand and the stamina supplement he made: "Stella, you take this." ”

"Looks like there's a horned rabbit hunt today, well... Did you buy stamina supplements again? ”

"Yes, I recently found a place where I can collect a lot of herbs, and I gave Nina the reward of the guild to settle it."

However, Xinghe did not tell Stella about being a copycat adventurer and that he would use "alchemy" to make stamina supplements.

And this is mainly because Galaxy noticed that Stella's physical condition has been very poor recently, so in order not to let Stella have too much burden on her heart, Galaxy decided to hide it from her like this.

"You don't have to worry about stamina supplements, Nina can get them for me right away, so if you feel uncomfortable, drink them."

Xinghe gave all the credit to Nina, which made her embarrassed.

"Thank you Nina, really thank you for always taking care of us."

"Hey, it's okay~"

……

Dinner that day was still bread and stew made with horned rabbit meat, and Nina still ate non-stop as usual, and was a proper cook.

After eating, Xinghe couldn't wait to take Stella to the storage room at the back of the house, so that she could see the bathroom inside.

"Is this what Xinghe secretly made in normal times?"

"Yes, as long as we have this in our house, even if the weather is cold, we can wash our bodies very warmly."

"yes, hehe, I'm so happy."

In this way, Stella does not need to go to a distant water storage field, and her daily life can be easier.

"The bath water is already boiling, Stella, you can go in and try it."

"Shall I wash first? This is the fruit of your labor, no matter how you say it, it should be you who ...... first."

"This bathroom was built for you, Stella, so you should be allowed to soak in first."

“…… Well, thank you. Stella blushed slightly and nodded with tears in her eyes, and that gesture made Xinghe suddenly feel that the hard work of building a bathroom was worth it!

After building a bathroom and making stamina supplements for daily use, Xinghe's active skills "Forger" and "Alchemy" have been upgraded to LV2 respectively.

After this incident, Galaxy is even more sure that as long as you continue to use skills or craft items, the corresponding skill level will be increased.

In the bathroom, Stella was already lying in the bathtub and washing her body.

"The bath water is really comfortable, and thanks to the galaxy, it makes me feel like I've become an aristocracy."

……

Probably because of the warm bath, Stella's skin became more radiant than usual.

But Stella's body is getting worse day by day, and with her current mental appearance, Xinghe really can't let go.

Although Xinghe has been indifferent to others so far, he has never known the answer to Stella's concern for where it comes from.

However, Xinghe did not resist, because he felt that this feeling of Stella's heartbeat was actually not bad.

"Seeing how happy Stella is, my work should be very successful, it's not too early, I'm going to go in and soak in it."

"I'm going to soak with you too~"

With Nina's character, it is natural that she followed from behind the galaxy.

After all, she has been very cheeky recently, and she eats breakfast, lunch and dinner with Xinghe naturally, and when she spends the night at home, she will still invade Xinghe's bed.

"What were you talking about?"

"Hmm~ Galaxy...... Actually, I think it's probably happier for two people to soak together than to take a bath alone~"

"Nope! I like to soak alone, it's more relaxing, so don't come along. ”

"I don't want it! I'm going to take a bath with you... Then splash bath water with Xinghe in the bathtub, and then stick together...... yes, hey~~ I'm looking forward to it. ”

Xinghe heard that the whole person was not good, and he thought to himself that this guy would not be a pervert, right...... Wait, she's like she's a pervert.

No matter how Xinghe refused, Nina insisted on bringing Xinghe to the bathtub.

…… It turned out to be a bath together.

But when Xinghe finished undressing, Nina was suddenly shocked.

"Huh? What's wrong? Why are you still standing, don't you want to go into the bathtub? ”

"That galaxy...... No, nothing. I'm coming in~~ yes, hey..."

"Strange Woman ......"

After taking a bath, Nina sneaked into Xinghe's bed as usual, but her expression was very dark now, and she didn't feel the cheerfulness she usually had.

"I've heard it from Granny Stella, but... I didn't expect it to be so miserable at all. ”

Xinghe, who took off his clothes, still had so many horrific scars of abuse on his body.

There were marks of being cut by a sharp blade, and there were marks of being burned by fire, and it was not just once or twice, but the scars caused by years of repetition.

It's not that Nina hasn't seen slaves tortured, but Xinghe's miserable appearance is not inferior even compared to the slaves she saw at the time.

Why are there those scars? … Who got it? Although the pile of questions she wanted to ask was as high as a mountain, in the end, Nina still couldn't ask.

Just thinking of Xinghe's scar hidden under her clothes, Nina was about to burst into tears.

……

After that, more than two months have passed since Xinghe's training for Nina in the mountain cave.

In terms of the improvement of strength alone, Nina has reached the point where she is like two people two months ago.

And she has been able to wrap her "fighting skills" around her body very well, and she can use them freely.

Not only that, but Nina also awakened a passive skill called "Short Sword Two Knife Flow" during the battle.
