Earth-san Level Up Volume 2 Chapter 15 Part 2 (Patreon)

And so it began.

Sasara got up and took Ruru's back.

Sasara took the lead.

Sasara puts soap on a towel and gently scrubs Ruru's back.

Ruru shrinks back in embarrassment and closes her eyes. She would have thought that she should not have provided this suggestion, but Ruru, who had no friends in Japan before, wanted to have various kinds of bonds. That was why she had the courage to say what she did.

When Ruru opened her eyes, she saw Sasara's reflection in the mirror.

Sasara smiled kindly, and Ruru smiled with her usual innocent smile.

Ruru's hair was washed, and it was Sasara's turn to be washed.

Meiko quickly finished washing her hair with Sasara by her side.

Then she got into the bathtub and stared at her two close friends.

In a real washing session, would they wash each other's fronts, as well, Meiko thought?

Meiko was tempted to give them false advice, but she knew that if she made a mistake, and they started kissing, it would be the end of it.

Meiko swallowed down the teasing words that were coming out of her throat, and looked out the window at the moon.

"Hey, when you wash each other, do you wash each other's fronts too?"

Meiko couldn't resist it.

"Oh, really?"

"Ha, come to think of it, there was a scene like that in an anime."

After that, the two of them turned red and started washing each other's fronts too.

Meiko reports to the moon that they really did it.

Meiko hears a happy giggle coming from them.

She turns around and sees the two of them wriggling around while washing each other.

"Wow, that's wonderful" Meiko thought as she looked at the result of her actions.

What if one day she opened the door at school and found the two of them kissing?

Meiko was a little worried.

"No, that's also... love, huh? You never know what life has in store for you."

Meiko nodded cheekily and played it cool.

The background music was chuckling.

After the two finished washing, Meiko followed behind and got into the bathtub.

Meiko felt like she was going to overheat, so she adjusted the heat by sitting on the edge of the tub.

"It feels so good!"

"Nya... it feels good, desu."

Meiko soaked in the bathtub and looked out the window at the view.

From this hot spring, Meiko could see the sea of clouds and the Sakura tree under the full moon in the background.

"It's so elegant, isn't it?"

"Is this what you call 'elegant'?"

"Yes, it is. It means calm and graceful. It's a sensual thing, so it depends on the person. If seeing something beautiful makes you want to write a phrase or a poem or drink a cup of tea, that's elegance."

"Oh, so now is precisely the time to be "Elegant"! Here's a phrase. I'm having fun in the dungeon with Shara and the hot springs!"

"Fufufu, that's a lovely phrase. Thank you, Ruru-san."

"Nfufufu!"

Meiko nodded as she listened to them.

They are very close. Their distance is also very close.

I wonder if it is possible to increase the degree of friendliness so much by doing the Cleaning Each Other thing.

Meiko's feeling of exclusion is increasing.

In the dungeon, at the hot springs with Sharla, fun desu!

Ah, I forgot to include myself!

"Let's go exploring!"

Meiko appealed to them.

"Eh, why, of course, shall we?"

"Nya, I'm going to defeat more and more enemies with my new equipment!"

Phew, dangerous.

Meiko was accepted into the group.

A few quiet moments passed, and Ruru began to feel groggy.

"Nyu..."

"Ruru-san, don't fall asleep, okay?"

"No, I'm not falling asleep."

Ruru's eyes were squinting, and Meiko, thinking this was a bad idea, decided to get out of the bath.

"Ruru, if you fall asleep in the bath or hot spring, you will die, you know?"

"Nyah, Kismia used to have baths, so I know that."

"Oh, I see. Sorry, sorry."

"Nya~ Thank you for your concern."

Having experienced frontal washing, the two walked out fully exposed without covering their fronts when they left.

Meiko, who didn't participate because she was embarrassed, she walked away with her towel and her mouth tied tightly shut.

But it was still wonderful.

Meiko gulped at the sight of the two girls' high-spec backs, who were barely the same age as her.

Eventually, I would join as well.

Meiko secretly felt uneasy.

***

After that, we use our meal ticket for a meal.

The dishes available with the meal ticket are all the food sold at the inn. Ingredients and preserved foods can also be purchased, but they are not very useful.

Meiko had the small hot pot set meal. The main dish is a small pot with mystery meat.

Sasara has the fried rabbit set meal.

Ruru had the tempura set meal.

All of these come with rice, miso soup, one side dish, and one dessert.

Meiko and the others shared the main dish.

The three of us were able to nourish our spirits by eating something unexpectedly good in the dungeon.

Returning to their rooms, they spread out the futon and each set to work.

First, Meiko asked the two for permission to use the appraisal ball to check the initial defense of the equipment she had just bought.

She wanted to know the exact values of the equipment's attack and defense capabilities. Appraisal balls are precious, but they are used for peace of mind.
