Both sides of the passage are sunken in a step-like shape, and are filled with transparent water——no, hot water.The depth should be more than one meter. If this hall is completely filled with hot water, it is really hard to imagine the total amount.

"...What is this room..." Eugeo made a hoarse voice at the scene beyond imagination.If it is a pond for raising fish, the water temperature is too high.

If it is an ornamental garden, such humidity will also make people uncomfortable.

It should be said that it would be more enjoyable to just take off your clothes and soak in hot water——

"Ah... so difficult... Could it be..." After whispering again, Eugeo knelt down by the passageway and dipped his right hand into the hot water.

If Kirito was also here, the water temperature, which was neither too cold nor too hot, would definitely make him yell, "It's really suitable for taking a bath".

In other words, this is a huge bath.

Not knowing what to say, Eugeo could only support his body on his knees and let out a long breath.

In the old house in Rulid Village where I lived until two years ago, the bucket for bathing was nothing more than a relatively large washbasin, and when Eugeo bathed last, there was only half of the water left.

Therefore, when he first saw the large bath in the college dormitory, he was shocked and wondered how to boil such a large amount of hot water.

But this bath is even more exaggerated.

Even if all the swordsmen from the Sword Cultivation Academy take a bath together, it should still have quite ample space.

Of course, it is impossible for male and female students to take a bath together.

Eugeo sighed again and washed his hands with hot water, suppressed the urge to wash his face and stood up.

Eugeo thought that the stairs leading to the upper floor should be in the deep part of the hall, and then walked up the marble passage.

No matter what, it was impossible to be attacked in the bathing place——Because of holding this concept, it took him a while to notice that something was wrong.

The passageway is in the hall... or should I say, when the center of the large bath swelled into a circle and approached there, Eugeo finally noticed someone's shadow behind the water vapor floating on the right side in front of him.

He flew back reflexively, and put his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Although he couldn't see clearly because of the obstruction of water vapor, the opponent was quite tall.

Judging by the short hair, she should not be a woman.He was soaked in hot water from the shoulders down, and stretched his arms and legs.

Although it doesn't look like an ambush, just taking a bath here, but still can't take it lightly.No matter what the situation is, he is still his enemy.In this case, shouldn't it be a preemptive strike while the opponent is still in the water?

When Eugeo wanted to quietly draw out his favorite sword——

"I'm sorry, can you wait a little longer? Because I just returned to the Central Capital, and I'm not a young man like Yeling. Sitting on the flying dragon all the time made my whole body stiff as hell." Although the voice was deep and hoarse, it was quite clear.

In addition, Eugeo was speechless with the rudest choice of words among the people he met in the cathedral.

That kind of rough aura made people feel that he was not like a knight at all. At this time, Eugeo thought of the farmers in his hometown instead.

When Eugeo didn't know how to react, there was a sound of water, and then the water vapor covering the huge bath spread to the left and right.

The owner of the voice was standing up, while water droplets fell from his body like a waterfall.

He turned his back to Eugeo, put his hands on his waist and kept turning his neck, and then murmured "Ugh~" without any sense of tension.

Although it looked full of flaws, Eugeo couldn't move even a single step with his hand on the sword.

To have such a burly body.Although the knees were still in hot water, it was obvious that the man was nearly two meters tall.His iron-gray, blue-tinged hair was cut rather short, exposing his surprisingly thick neck in its entirety.

And the shoulders below are also unusually wide.The upper arm like a stake can easily swing any great sword.

Most notable is his back, which is covered in layers of muscle.

Grogo Rosso Baruto, Eugeo's attendant at the academy, was also proud of his perfect body, but the man in the bath was more than twice as strong as him.

Although she doesn't look very young, there is no excess fat around the waist.

Because he was attracted by his standing posture comparable to the ancient God of War, Eugeo didn't notice the numerous scars on the vertical and horizontal man's body at all.

After looking again, you can find that they are all knife wounds and arrow wounds.

Even if he is seriously injured, as long as he uses high-level sacred magic to heal quickly, no scars will be left, so he must have gone through many difficult battles where he could not do so.

Because it is impossible to tell whether the man's back is full of flaws, or whether he is actually fully prepared.Eugeo even felt that he was deliberately luring himself to attack.

The man didn't seem to care about Eugeo's hesitation at all, and after relaxing his muscles and bones, he made the sound of splashing water in the bath and headed north.

It turned out that there were baskets with clothes on the passage a little ahead.

The man strode up to the edge of the bath that went up like a staircase, then took out his underwear from the basket and put them on.He then spread out his thin shirt and draped it over his body.

It seemed to be a costume made in the Eastern Empire, but the man rolled a wide belt around the cloth in front of him, and finally turned his face to Eugeo.

"I've kept you waiting." The resolute face really suited the deep and hoarse voice.The deep wrinkles that appeared at the corners of the mouth showed the fact that the man should have been over 40 years old when he became an integrity knight, but the tall nose bridge and thin cheeks did not show any signs of aging.

However, the most impressive thing should be the gaze emitted from the underside of his heroic eyebrows.

There was obviously no strong murderous intent in the light blue eyes, but Eugeo, who was more than 15 meters away from him, still felt strong pressure.

What was revealed in the line of sight was pure curiosity about the enemy to be fought next, as well as the joy felt by the battle itself.

Being able to look at the enemy with such eyes is because he has absolute confidence in his sword skills.

In other words, this man is somewhat similar to Kirito.

After tying the belt in front of the body, the man reaches for the basket with his right hand.

As a result, a long sword immediately floated from under the basket and entered into his strong hands.He then slung the sword over his shoulder, and strode forward barefoot over the marble.

When he was only about eight mel away from Eugeo, he stopped, and while touching his rough chin with a short beard, he said, "Then... can you tell me one thing before I fight you?"

"……What's up?"

"It's... the deputy knight commander... is Fanatio dead?" His indifferent tone seemed to be asking what to have for dinner, which made Eugeo feel a little dissatisfied. People who don't care about their companions like this...

But Eugeo immediately noticed that the man who looked away had an expression on his face that was desperately trying to hide his sincerity.

He obviously cared a lot in his heart, but he didn't want to be seen through.This personality reminded Eugeo of his absent partner again.

"...She is still alive. Now...she should be receiving treatment." Eugeo's answer, the man then took a deep breath and nodded, "That's it, then I won't take your life."

"What..." Eugeo was speechless again.The other party's self-confidence has been strong enough that people will not have the idea that he is bluffing.

Kirito once said that believing in one's own emotions can become a powerful weapon, but even he has never shown such confidence in front of a strong enemy.

But... Eugeo's fighting experience is far less than that of the opponent, but on the way here, he has repelled enemies who are integrity knights like the man several times.

If you feel timid before the fight, how can you be worthy of the defeated knight, Grogo Rosso who trained Eugeo, the instructors of the academy, and that black-haired partner?
