Tensei Reijou wa Shomin no Aji ni Uete Iru

Haa鈥β燤ariel-chan let out a long sigh and looked at me with a serious expression.

銆孋ristea-san, are you not aware that you are a walking cheat!? If you are not careful, you will feel out of place in the academy, you know?銆?br>
銆孶gu!銆?br>
J, just as I thought? I had a feeling like that鈥?b, but it can鈥檛 be helped right, I have been living the life of a shut-in in the countryside up until now after all. It seems that Teacher Marlen taught me Clear magic just to amuse himself too anyway. Thought he must聽have felt like he overdid it as he recently canceled the special lessons鈥?br>
銆孖, it鈥檚 not like I don鈥檛 have any self-awareness, but I am not clear what鈥檚 normal and what is not鈥?I was a loner after all銆?br>
銆孖 see鈥?rather, I am sorry!銆?br>
She understood. I, I am not crying, okay! Though Sei is my friend, he has no knowledge of common sense of this country and in the first place, Sei himself is a cheat, so I can鈥檛 use him as a reference.

銆孖, it will be fine! I will somehow manage until the spring銆?br>
銆屸€?Will you really be all right?銆?br>
銆孖 have no confidence, but I will do my best銆?br>
銆孖n Cristea-san鈥檚 case, I think it would be much better if you didn鈥檛 do your best銆?br>
I had no room to argue her reproachful stare.

銆孧ariel-san! I will be relying on you after enrolling!銆?br>
I firmly grasped Mariel-chan鈥檚 hands and edged up to her.

銆孍h? Me!? Eh, u, umm, I will do my鈥?best?銆?br>
Okay, I got your promise, alright!

Mariel-chan鈥檚 face cramped after seeing my complacent smile.

銆孨ow then, we should take a bath soon and go to the bed銆?br>
The fun times went by in a blink of an eye. Mariel-chan got on board with a bath before retiring.

銆孍h! A bath!? You have one!?銆?br>
Ah, I see. Because baths in this world are still in the luxury class, people clean their bodies mostly by wiping or going to something akin to a sauna that鈥檚 accessible to the general public. There鈥檚 still the trick of cleaning yourself with Clear magic, but using hot water is comfortable which is, unfortunately, restricted only to the nobility.

Mariel-chan鈥檚 house is a Baron one, but was it that of an extravagance?

銆學e have? You will take a bath, right?銆?br>
Originally, I would request the maids to wash my hair and body, but Mariel-chan was too embarrassed, so we decided to go together. The hot water can be produced either with a magic stone or with my water and fire magic, so it鈥檚 efficient going together.

銆孶gh, just recalling the public baths鈥︺€?br>
Although it was a little bit embarrassing taking a bath together as both of us are reincarnated, we have soaked in the water and happily chatted after washing our hair. Miria got tired of us, but it was fun.

鈥?Realizing that Mariel-chan鈥檚 growth was better than mine wasn鈥檛 fun. Gununu.
