While I was waiting while leisurely reading a book, Illness-san came to tell me that the Relaxation Room was ready. Following Illness-san down the hallway, we headed for the bathroom.
I did hear that the hidden door was in the changing room…… but I wonder where that hidden room is? With the size of my home, the dressing room is also considerably large, and there are quite a few spots that look suspicious.
[Kaito-samaaaa, I have here prepared a list that summarizes the things that can be done in the Relaxation Rooooom, and if you want, please check it ouuuuut.]
[Thank you, this really helps.]
When I looked at the memo prepared by Illness-san, I found that in addition to the sauna, bedrock bath and jacuzzi, there were also massage and aroma baths available.How should I say this…… It kinda has this beauty salon image to it, or rather, I guess it may feel more like this place has that hotel aesthetic to it. I mean, this massage here…… Did Alice set up a massage chair-like magic tool? That sounds nice, after relaxing your body in the massage chair, sweat in the bedrock bath, before finally soaking in the jacuzzi……That sounds relaxing.
[Illness-san, can that massage be available shortly?]
[Yeeees. There’s no problem with iiiiiit.]
[Then, I’d like to get that massage first then go for the bedrock bath then. Well, I’m new to bedrock baths, so I don’t know much about them……]
[I will guide you around iiiiiit, so please don’t worryyyy.]
I was relieved to hear that Illness-san would teach me about the bedrock bath. I heard that they’re very comfortable, so I have been interested in bedrock baths, but I never had the chance to go to one.
I never thought I’d be having such a bath in my own home though…… If it really feels good, I’ll do it regularly in the future.Having such thoughts in mind, we arrived at the changing room…… Now then, where is the hidden door? Would it be the standard behind-the-large-mirror hidden room? Or perhaps, the mirror itself is the door……
[Regarding the entrance to the hidden rooooom, this central pillar over heeeeere is designed so that it’s able to slide to the siiiiide, and hidden inside it is a magic crystaaaaaal. If you access this magic crystaaaaal…… The inhabitants of this house will perceive iiiiiit.]
[O- Ohhh, the wall slides down…… and a staircase……]
[This is the entrance to the Relaxation Rooooom. When the hidden door is openeeeeed, Illumination Magic Tool will automatically turn oooooon. After enteriiiiing, touch the magic crystal on the wall over heeeeere to close the entraaaaance.]
[T- That’s an amazing mechanism.]
That’s a really large-scale mechanism. The staircase is also quite wide and solid, and it feels like this place is built quite thoroughly.
Rather, it’s so much so that I wonder why she even hid this place…… Well, since it’s Alice we’re talking about here, she’d probably say something like that’s obviously romance.W- Well, I can’t really deny that hidden doors like that are quite cool. It’s inconvenient for when you wanna use this place everyday but……
[Well theeeen, this way pleeeeease.]
[Ah, yes. Should I just change my clothes here?]
[We have another room insiiiiide where you can change your cloooothes.]
[I see……]
As Illness-san guides me down the stairs…… we arrived at a very wide space. There are several rooms around, and it really feels like I’ve come to a high-end beauty salon.
Hmmm, Alice probably used Spatial Magic on this place. I feel like this is too spacious to be a room hidden underneath the house.
[Kaito-samaaaaa. Since you also wanted to take a bedrock bath this tiiiiime, we have special clothes prepared for iiiiit, so please change into theeeesee.]
[I understand.]
[The room on the right is for changiiiiing.]
[Alright. Then, I’ll go change quickly.]
What Illness-san handed to me was a jinbei-like outfit. Indeed, going for bedrock bathing, I certainly feel like you’d wear loose-fitting clothes for it.
After quickly changing clothes in the room for changing…… A rather spacious changing room at that…… I returned back and found that Illness-san’s clothes had changed. She isn’t wearing her usual maid outfit, being a casual outfit with about three-quarter length pants and a short-sleeved jacket.
Her hair was also tied behind her head in a short ponytail. It looks pretty refreshing, and she looks cute in it…… I also like this casual look of hers.
[Arehh? You’ve also changed clothes, Illness-san?]
[Yeeees. I thought that if I kept my maid clothing oooon, it might be a slight hindraaaance.]
[Unnn?]
[Well theeeen, massage is this waaaay.]
That exchange we had just now felt kinda strange, but dropping that matter aside, I followed Illness-san. Were there aromatics set up here? Anyhow, I was led to a room with a nice scent that seemed to help me relax.
And then, the spot I was led to was a massage bed…… Arehh? This is kinda different from what I imagined? I thought there would be something like a massage chair magic tool, but looking at this bed, doesn’t it clearly look like I’m going to be massaged by someone?
[Now theeeen, what kind of massage would you liiiiike?]
[Eh? Ahh, Illness-san is going to give me a massage?]
[Yeeees. Although I may not be as good as specialiiiists, I can still give you an overall massaaaaage, so please don’t worryyyyy.]
I see, so that’s how it is…… That’s why Illness-san had changed her clothes…… All the preparations and such are now starting to make sense.
It’s just a guess, but this Relaxation Room seems to be a place where you can receive various beauty treatments under the exclusive care of Illness-san.
This was different from what I expected, but since it’s Illness-san, I can entrust things to her, and in that sense, I guess I can feel relieved.
<Afterword>
? ? ? : [Incidentally, Pandemonium’s casual clothes are long skirts and long sleeves, so even if they’re three-quarters length, relatively speaking, one could say that she’s unusually lightly dressed.]
Serious-senpai : [More than that, I can’t help but fear how that facility feels like Illness dedicating herself to healing Kaito…… It definitely feels like those two would end up flirting with each other……]
