Amazing Village Building

Chapter 51: Do you want to take a bath first?

Thats an elf?

Theyre all beautiful women

No, actually, I heard there are men among them.

Ha? No way. There cant be men

Elves unexpectedly came to our village. Because they werent often seen, our villagers gathered to get a sight of them.

Its rude to stare, you know.

sorry Selen-san.

Im sorry about them, Philia.

Dont worry about it, Selen-dono. If anything, this is only fair. Our people did the same thing when you arrived in our hamlet.

The two of them already spoke quite casually to each other.

The other elves were tensed and alert, but Philia-san and Philia-san alone didnt seem fazed by all the attention.

So cool.

At any rate, before I knew it, a village has really been built here in this wasteland this wasteland where crops shouldnt be able to grow Pardon me, but what are those large mounds?

Ah, those are where we live. The ones we have now are called apartment buildings. Basically, its many houses combined together to make one larger building.

Apart? I was wondering why I wasnt seeing any houses, but my, I had no idea human beings lived in such strange things.

Not really. I think its safe to say that the apartment buildings are unique to this village.

For the meantime, I brought them to the village chiefs estate. In other words, to my home.

We went through the gate and then passed the garden, away from the eyes of the villagers. There, the other elves relaxed a bit.

You can relax a little here. Its just us here.

Aside from the elves, the only people here were myself, Selen, and Millia.

I considered asking some of the hunters to act as our guards, but decided against it in the end. I chose to believe that the elves wouldnt do us harm.

Thank you for your consideration.

It seemed like Philia-san recognized my intentions and said her thanks.

To be frank, we dont have a good opinion of human beings. However, I think we can trust at least you. Oh my, this is not how one should talk to their benefactor.

Please dont worry about it. Horrible people do exist, and worse, Ive heard horrible people have tormented elves in the past.

We moved our conversation to the living room. When we sat on the sofa, I noticed something.

I then nervously made a suggestion.

ahm, do you want to take a bath first?

There was no way I could have said it plainly, but the elves had dirt all over their bodies. Also, well, they reeked.

Selen might have thought so too because she immediately agreed to my proposal.

Thats a great idea! Have I mentioned that in this village, everyone can take baths whenever they want?

I see the villagers here did seem to be considerably clean

When we asked for more details, we learned that there wasnt anything that could really be called a bath within the elves settlement. To clean themselves, they had to go to the nearby river.

But as winter approaches, wiping ourselves become more of the case.

It was cold, after all.

But commander, wed be defenseless

Its alright. If they really wanted to harm us, Im sure theyd be able to do so easily without resorting to tricks.

Out of vigilance, Philia-sans subordinates raised a concern. Philia-san disagreed with her subordinates though.

Ok, this one is for the men. For the womens bath, please follow Selen.

There were currently two open-air baths in the estate.

There was also the indoor bath included when the house was first built.

To my surprise, I discovered that about half of the elves were men.

Their appearance gave no indication at all.

It wasnt only because both the men and women had beautiful faces, but also because their physiques were almost the same. Philia-san was even the tallest among them.

Anyway, I led the men to the mens open-air bath.

A bath outdoors

Isnt this more of a pond?

Look closely though, theres steam rising.

While taking my clothes off, I asked them to do the same. I believed going in the bath together would take some of their wariness away.

But then

Hmm, so this is what an open-air bath is like? Its quite spacious here.

I know, right? Just taking a plunge here is enough to take away the days fatigue away.

For some reason, Philia-san and the other girls were here.

W-wait, why!?
