Chapter 137 No Good Vacation

Part 2

However, I couldn’t say it. I silently looked down in a scorching frustration. Sytry Onee-sama smiled and sat down behind Tino.

For some reason, I felt chills on my body and involuntarily shivered, even though my back wasn’t taken by an enemy. Sytry slowly said in a bright voice.

“I know…… You are tired, right? I will…… Wash you, Ti-chan. Ti-chan can relax and think about nothing…… Don’t worry, I am good at massage. Just think…… About me.” (Sytry)

Not good. This is not good. Warning bells were ringing in my head. Sytry Onee-sama’s fingertips touched my shoulder and I unintentionally let out a small scream at her slight touch.

My heart was beating wildly. I had to run away. But, I couldn’t move my legs. In the first place, what would happen if I ran away?

It was a crisis unlike any other. I had ―― Made the wrong choice. Sytry’s mouth, reflecting in the mirror facing her, was laughing, but her eyes were as cold as a doctor performing a surgery.

I should have refused. I should have immediately refused the soap (which Sytry Onee-sama probably made for herself) and say that I didn’t want the soap and also that I had no idea what she was talking about.

Sytry Onee-sama’s maneuver and ploys are more frightening than Onee-sama’s violence.

I tried to stand up, but my shoulders were restrained and I couldn’t move. With her right hand alone, Sytry Onee-sama removed the lid of the sealed glass bottle. The thick, light purple jiggled.

Sytry generously applied it on her palm and just as her fingertips were about to touch Tino’s quivering back, they could hear a scream out of nowhere.

『Sytryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! A dragon! There’s a dragon heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!』 (Cry)

“Dra…… Gon” (Tino)

A desperate situation. These were words of salvation for Tino who was in an extreme state of tension.

I had no idea what it meant, but Sytry’s hand stopped, her smile disappeared from her face, and sighed a little.

She quickly washed her hands and told Tino who was absent-minded.

“Well, what do we do? Over there is the men’s bath ―― But since I was called, I have to go help ―― Going through the outdoor bath should be quicker.” (Sytry)

“Eh? Yes. Eeeeh?” (Tino)

There was no way that there was a dragon. Even if it was one of the lowest class, it was a powerful Monster that can easily kill a human.

Common sense dictates that the mere approach of this kind of Monster in a city would cause a huge commotion.

Despite being confused, I stand up while thinking that it must be better than staying where I was right now.

I ran after Sytry Onee-sama who had already started running.

As we stepped out into the open-air bath, Sytry looked up and observed the high sturdy-looking wall.

It was then, Tino realized something terrible.

“Sytry, Onee-sama! We are… Naked!” (Tino)

“So what? If Ti-chan was naked during an attack, you wouldn’t resist?” (Sytry)

“That’s ――” (Tino)

She was absolutely right.

In front of Tino, who froze up at an unexpected well-sounded argument, Sytry pulled one of her potions from her armband and threw it as hard as she could against the wall.

It is incomprehensible, I don’t understand. As expected, being attacked by a dragon in an Onsen does get into the top ten most incomprehensible things I lived through in my life as a Hunter.

Moreover, this is a human settlement. What kind of security does this inn have for a dragon to be able to invade in your outdoor bath?

.

I hoped for a moment that the dragon would be satisfied with just blowing me away, but the light blue dragon stood up from the outdoor bath and firmly turned its head towards my direction. As if to intimidate me, the dragon spread the wings on his back widely.

Seeing it doing this, even if it was small, it is still a dragon. When it spread its wings, it looked quite intimidating. Now that I think about it, there was no way any Ryokan would own a dragon. I should have noticed it before trying to get into the outdoor bath. It seemed I had been seduced by the Onsen’s charm.

When the dragon walked out from the outdoor bath on its two legs, he stepped through the glass that had been broken when I was blown away and invaded the indoor bath.

Are you planning to take a bath and have food at the same time…… What a luxurious dragon. If the Ryokan’s personnel asks about my opinion, I would suggest they put tempered glass in their communal bath. If I can make it out alive that is.

When I remonstrated my wobbly body, I stood up and slowly got away from the dragon. I? still have “Barrier Rings (Safe Ring)”, but it won’t help unless there is someone who can fight it off. The 『Dog’s Chain』 is bravely standing in front of me, but unfortunately, he doesn’t have any offensive power.

I should quickly run away into the inn. That’s what my reason is telling me, but if I run, this hungry dragon will chase after me. And our long-awaited Ryokan would be ruined too, and in the end, I am still a Hunter. I want to avoid causing harm to the general citizen. Well, even if I do run, I wouldn’t be able to run away from it.

I called Sytry. I am sure she will come.

I turned my palm at the light blue dragon which was slowly closing in. I calm my breathing and try to buy some time.

“Calm down, can’t you see? The Relics I am equipped with! ………… Even if you eat me, I will surely get stuck in your throat and won’t taste good……” (Cry)

What a pathetic negotiation. Even among all my Hunter’s life, this must be in the top ten most pathetic persuasion I ever did.

As I completely lost my sense of reality, the light blue dragon opened its jaws in anger. Its mouth was lined up with fangs as sharp as knives. Even though it was comfortably soaking in the Onsen, it seems it still has all the characteristics of a dragon. Gimme a break.

I confirm the situation around me. It is an Onsen, so of course, I can’t find anything that looked like a weapon. Well, even if I had a weapon, I wouldn’t be able to use it, and the only thing that was here was the Onsen that I hadn’t enjoyed yet.

I had no choice but to go into the Onsen.

The dragon tilted its head as if it had seen something strange. I laughed loudly at his somewhat human-like gesture.

It was completely out of desperation. As it was hunting down its prey, the dragon slowly entered the Onsen. The 『Dog’s Chain』 wrapped itself around the dragon’s wings, but it was completely ineffective.

There are many Hunters, but I am probably the only one who has bathed with a dragon. I will definitely brag about it when I get back to the Clan House.

Just as I was thinking that people would snicker when they heard about this, a light suddenly flashed from outside.

A moment later, my vision was dyed in white. What little glass still left was completely blown away by the impact and the sound shook my brain.

The Onsen’s water turned into a wave due to the impact and fell on my head.

I wipe my face with my arm and open my eyes. The dragon shivered from the shock and looked back.

The open-air bath was a shadow of its former self. Stepping over the completely collapsed fence, Sytry and Tino entered with a towel wrapped around their bodies.

When Sytry found me, she smiled as usual and I smiled back in a “Un, un, that’s right” manner.

Ah, I hate this…… What kind of vacation is that.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Tino saved at the last second by Cry. Who know what would have happened to her if he didn’t save her (Thinking about it gave me a nosebleed XD)

And did Cry just attempt to negotiate with a dragon and when it failed he just went to the outdoor bath? Talk about crazy. What would Tino (Because it looks like Sytry is already used to Cry’s anthics) think seeing him and the dragon taking a bath together? XD

Tchao à plus!
