Chapter 17 – The Most Powerful Demon King in History. Takes A Bath
After Jorm and I had finished eating, Lumiel said…
“Master, Jorm. Please use the bath as you wish. We use magic tools to draw natural hot springs from underground, so you can bathe all day.”
“That’s convenient. Magnificent.”
“Kyurururu!”
In my previous life, I liked bathing, which is rare for demons.
When taking a bath, one takes off their armor and puts down their weapon, becoming defenseless.
For the demons who fight on a daily basis, that is suicidal.
Therefore, even the custom of bathing is not common among the demons.
There is even a derisive saying about demons and cats hating baths.
I liked to bathe because I was confident in my strength even without weapons or armor.
“Master. Are you going to take a bath now? You must be tired after fighting and walking a long way.”
“Thank you, I’ll do that.”
“Kyurururu!”
“I think that would be good!”
As Lumiel suggested, I decided to take a bath with Jorm.
I undressed in the changing room and entered the bathroom of Lumiel’s residence.
Naturally, it was smaller than the bath I had enjoyed in my previous life.
Even so, it was large enough for me to lie down completely in the bathtub.
The bathtub was filled with hot water.
“Isn’t this a nice bath?”
“Yes, nice bath!”
I checked the temperature of the water. It’s just the right temperature for comfort.
“Not only do they pump the water up from the ground, but they also control the water temperature with magic tools. The technology is splendid.”
The magic tool technology of the elves also has advanced as well. Five hundred years ago, the elves did not have such technology.
“The food is delicious and the bath is good. If you want to live here, this might be a better choice.”
“Indeed!”
While talking with Jorm about this, I washed my body.
Jorm also tried to grab a towel with his little hand and wash himself.
But he couldn’t seem to reach his back.
“Jorm, I’ll wash between your wings.”
“Is that okay?”
“It’s fine.”
I put Jorm on my lap and scrubbed him.
The long accumulated dust is carefully removed from the space between the scales and the base of the wing.
“Furuuuu…”
“Is something wrong, Jorm? That was a strange voice. Did it hurt?”
“…… It’s very pleasant.”
“That’s good.”
I washed Jorm thoroughly and rinsed him off with hot water.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
“Jorm, get in the bathtub first.”
“Hmm. Jorm will scrub Your Majesty’s back.”
“Oh, then I guess I’ll ask for that.”
While having Jorm wash my back, I carefully wash the front of my body and my hair.
While washing my own body, I carefully examined my new body after reincarnation.
“Compared to my previous life…. my physical abilities are much weaker.”
“That is unavoidable because you are young, but if you use Physical Enhancement Magic, it is better than in your previous life, right?”
“That’s true.”
“What about your magic? Your Majesty’s level was inherited and became a human race, so I think your magical power is immense, but…”
Jorm speaks using the concept of levels, something unknown to demons.
“The amount of magic power is on par or greater than that of my previous life.”
“As expected of Your Majesty.”
“But it seems that I still can’t control it as freely as I did in my previous life, so I guess I need to adapt to it.”
“However, since you have bested the two-named ancient dragon, Jorm, the Scorching Fire Dragon, I doubt anyone among the demons can defeat Your Majesty.”
“That’s fine. In the first place, my goal is not to become stronger than the demons.”
“To slay the Demon God, is it? Being the Demon God, it might be very difficult.”
I think Jorm is right.
Right now, I don’t think I can win the battle against the Demon God.
But my body is in its mid-teens. But the younger you are, the faster you can adapt.
“With a few more years, I might be able to kill the Demon God.”
“Your Majesty is bound to succeed!”
Jorm seems to believe in me.
“Alright, your body is clean now. Let’s soak in the bathtub.”
“Yes!”
Then I get into the bathtub with Jorm.
“It feels so good.”
“Yes, it does.”
I stretched my arms and legs in the bathtub. It felt so good.
Jorm is also lying on his back and floating in the hot water.
“Before I fight the Demon God, I have to find out where the Demon God is.”
“That will be difficult. It would be convenient to have someone who knows about the Demon God.”
“Jorm, I’m going to start gathering information on the Demon God tomorrow.”
“Understood!”
While talking about this, Jorm and I took our time soaking in the bathtub and enjoyed the bath.
After getting out of the bath, we went back to the room and spent the first night after my reincarnation sleeping peacefully.
It was a little hot on a midsummer night, but the futon was still soft and restful on body and soul.
The next morning. I woke up in a soft bed.
“…… was that a dream?”
I feel like I had a very sad dream.
I can’t remember the specifics, but my adopted daughter, Phylfi, was crying.
The more I dream of it, the more I think of it as a regret of my previous life.
“Kyum… hehe.”
Jorm was asleep, hugging my thigh.
“Jorm, wake up.”
“Kyum? Is it morning?”
“Did you sleep well?”
“I slept well. Your Majesty, humans are good at making beds.”
“Well, perhaps better than the Dragons.”
And then, I headed to the dining room with Jorm.
