Chapter 42 – Miracle Wind
It was probably connected to both the men’s and women’s baths to make cleaning easier.
In the corner of the large wall that divided the two baths, there was a door leading to a slightly secluded area. It was difficult to see, but perhaps employees used it for various tasks.
That area should have been within the field of vision, yet just a few moments ago, no one was there.
However, when Wataru looked again, a man was standing there.
Despite being in a hot spring, he stood out because he was wearing clothes.
Wataru’s first thought was that he might be an employee.
However, his behavior seemed too suspicious for an employee.
He seemed conscious of the people around him.
Furthermore, if Wataru remembered correctly, the employees here wore matching uniforms.
Was the door unlocked, to begin with, or did he unlock it somehow?
When Wataru saw the man enter, he hurried over and called out to him.
“What are you doing?”
“Huh? W-Why…!”
“Nothing. I just noticed you were fumbling around.”
“I’m not doing anything. Uh, my invisibility spell broke.”
The man’s eyes widened, and he stared intently at Wataru.
The blood drained from his face, and he turned pale. He was clearly taken completely by surprise.
Ah, this is definite, Wataru thought with certainty.
He had considered the possibility that the man might be connected to the hot spring.
In that case, he had planned to leave immediately. Now, that possibility was gone.
Wataru naturally took a step back from the man.
He became alert, and his expression hardened.
“What you’re doing is trespassing and causing property damage.”
“W-What are you talking about? I-I’m an employee here.”
“Why would an employee break a lock? That doesn’t make any sense.”
The man’s trembling voice was not trustworthy.
He had lost all composure.
Rather than being enraged, though, he seemed afraid of Wataru.
Perhaps he was naturally timid.
The service entrance was lined with cleaning supplies, and at the back, a door similar to the one leading to the men’s bath was located.
○○It was probably connected to the women’s bath beyond it.
The light was faintly visible through the crack in the door.
“Be quiet.”
“I-I don’t want to… Just a little more; I was almost there. If you had just kept quiet, we could have seen paradise together.”
“No way. If you want to see a woman naked, either seduce her or pay for it!”
“Guh! U-Ugh! I wanted to see them completely defenseless and unaware… Ugh!”
The man seemed to have no knowledge of martial arts.
Wataru’s bare fist hit him squarely in the cheek, sending him flying.
A nasty pain shot through his fist.
The blow must have been well-aimed because the man fell onto his back and didn’t move.
He stared blankly at the ceiling.
Instead of calling for help, Wataru decided to knock the man out so that he wouldn’t escape. He was glad it had worked.
He waved his hand to distract himself from the pain and realized that if his opponent had been stronger or had had a weapon, things could have turned out badly.
His opponent was destroying the lock, so it wouldn’t have been surprising if he had some kind of weapon.
The thought of Mariel and Aire being seen naked made Wataru lose his composure.
He had to stay calm.
The man seemed to have given up hope; his plan had failed, and he showed no signs of getting up.
Wataru kept his distance while remaining alert.
If he got too close and was counterattacked, he didn’t know what kind of injuries he might suffer.
Even with a potion, instant death wasn’t uncommon, as Aire had warned him repeatedly.
“Excuse me! Someone, please! Come help!”

Immediately after that, one of the male customers recognized Wataru’s voice and approached him. This quickly alerted the staff.
The peeping tom was led away, exhausted and slumped over.
A man in the store’s uniform bowed deeply and thanked Wataru.
Everything turned out well. That’s good.
“Thank you for your cooperation. It seems the man was using an accessory with a ‘transparency’ enchantment, which is why we couldn’t see him. We apologize for that.”
“Well, I’m glad I noticed. But why could I see him?”
“To prevent peeping, we cast a ‘spell to block enchantments’ around the staff entrance and the walls. That man probably didn’t know about it.”
Wataru nodded in understanding.
If he had something with such a valuable enchantment, he must have had quite a bit of money.
“I see. So it’s designed to prevent misuse.”
“Yes, I think the guards will reward you later, so please tell me your name.”
“My name is Wataru. I plan to stay in this town until tomorrow morning.”
When Wataru told the ox-man the name of the inn where Masques had introduced him, the ox-man seemed to know it well.
He nodded slightly and began to write something down hurriedly.
“I understand. I’ll call someone else right away. Could you keep an eye on things here until the guards arrive? I can’t leave him with someone I don’t trust.”
“Well, if that’s the case…”
“Your courageous actions saved many women. Thank you very much.”
It would be a big problem if the side door were left open after catching the peeping tom.
Wataru understood the employee’s point of view, so he reluctantly agreed.
He had been looking forward to relaxing in the hot springs.
While the man was being taken away, Wataru stood there waiting.
He had no choice but to keep an eye on the door until someone else arrived.
He wondered if he would catch a cold from the chill, but it was warm inside, and his body was still warm.
As he wished for their return, Wataru killed time. Suddenly, the broken side door began to rattle in the wind.
Could it be opening?
Anticipating the worst, Wataru frowned.
“Hey, are you sure our master is really in there?”
“Yes, I’m sure. He’s causing some kind of trouble.”
“If Aire says so, then it must be true. Is he hurt?”
“I don’t smell blood, but I can’t be sure because of the hot springs’ smell.”
Even through the door, Wataru could tell who it was by their voice and what they were saying.
It seemed that, despite the high wall, they had noticed that something was wrong with him.
He thought to himself that Aire really had keen senses of smell and hearing, which meant he couldn’t hide anything from her.
Then again, he didn’t have anything to hide from Mariel and Aire.
Wataru called out to the door.
“Mariel and Aire?”
“Master? Aire, you were right.”
“Yes, Master. Are you okay?”
“Yeah, nothing’s wrong. Someone was peeking, so I caught him.”
“Master, don’t do anything dangerous.”
“I’m sorry. I’m fine, so please forgive me. I’ll be more careful next time.”
Hearing Aire’s serious voice, Wataru apologized.
As Wataru’s diligent bodyguard, Aire would have been worried if he had been injured in the hot spring where she couldn’t see him.
“Yes, I’m glad you’re okay, Master. So, what are you going to do now?”
“It looks like the door lock has been broken. The staff asked me to stand guard until they get someone to fix it…”
Wataru couldn’t continue.
A sudden gust of wind blew open the door to the passageway from the skylight of the hot spring.
“Ah…”
“M-Master…?”
The naked bodies of Mariel and Aire, who were completely defenseless, came into view.
They both had large breasts, slim waists, plump buttocks, and thick thighs.
Everything, including their most private parts, was exposed to Wataru’s eyes.
Perhaps because they had absorbed the hot spring water, their skin looked even moister and more radiant than usual.
They had fair skin to begin with, but it now had a beautiful cherry blossom hue, perhaps due to improved blood circulation.
Their moist, sparkling eyes looked like jewels.
“I-I’m sorry!”
“Kyaa! I never thought Master would do something like this! I’m so disappointed!”
“Hehe, I knew you were a pervert, but you shouldn’t have peeked.”
“Th-That’s not it! I—―”
Mariel, who was used to being seen, blushed and tried to cover herself with her arms.
However, her breasts were pressed flat against her arms, and her cherry-colored nipples were partially exposed.
Rather than being embarrassed, Wataru was excited by her reaction.
Aire was confident and lifted her breasts with both hands to show them off.
Supported by the beastman’s strong Cooper ligaments, her large breasts swayed back and forth.
Wataru was flustered but couldn’t take his eyes off them. In the next moment, however, he froze.
“It’s noisy. Is everything okay?”
“Ah, no, it’s fine.”
“No, there’s no problem. We were just fooling around.”
A female customer had heard Mariel’s voice and came to check on them.
But just before she could, Aire quickly closed the door, preventing her from seeing Wataru.
(Nice move, Aire!)
Unfortunately, he couldn’t see the young woman’s face, but he had no desire to peek.
By a hair’s breadth, Wataru’s honor was saved.
