Chapter One: Hot Spring Capriccio

There really isn’t anything better than a vacation. With all my assailants behind me, I rolled around on the floor and appreciated what a great thing tranquility was. At heart I was both a pacifist and a lazy bum who didn’t want to move any more than I had to, I just frequently found myself at the center of trouble.

The sun had set and I continued to space out, but then Liz spoke up.

“Hey, um, do you wanna go slay a hot spring dragon together? I heard about it while walking around the town. Apparently, there’s a nest nearby.”

“Hm? I think I’ll stay here.”

And just like that, my relaxation was brought to a halt. We were at a hot spring, why did she have to go exterminating monsters? And what kind of half-assed name was “hot spring dragon”?

Our inn was a high-class one that catered to merchants and it showed in every detail. Our room was large, our bedding was soft, and our food was made with the best ingredients from both the land and sea.

The spring water was straight from the source and never recycled. There was a large tub and then each room had its own open-air bath. If you wanted to, you could comfortably spend a whole day without leaving your room. Why should I go fight a hot spring dragon on the very first day?

Sitri’s lap pillow let me recover all my lost energy, but I planned to save that energy for the hot spring! That energy wasn’t something I could use on just anything!

“C’mooon. How often do you get to fight a big monster? What did we even come here for?”

Really? I think we’ve been running into way too many big monsters lately.

Even though she spent the day walking around Suls, my tiny childhood friend was full of energy. Liz pursed her lips, grabbed my arm, and shook me. Without Luke and the others, I was her only playmate and I wasn’t up for that role. If she wanted something to play around with, Tino wasn’t doing anything.

“Let me say it right now: I don’t plan on doing a single meaningful thing while I’m here! For the next two weeks, I’m going to eat, bathe, sleep, and wait!”

“In other words, you’ve already made your move?” Sitri asked.

“Huh? Uh, yeah, uh-huh. Exactly. It’s all according to plan.”

Leave it to Sitri to back me up even after saying something so pathetic. I guess you could say I had made my move. We had our bumps on the road, but my vacation was more or less going as planned.

We were at a hot spring. Warm, luxurious baths were an arm’s length away. What could be more important than that? I was going to forget Arnold, the Gathering of the White Blade, the named quest, all of it. I would leave it in the hands of future Krai.

At some point, Sitri had changed from her Alchemist robes to a blue yukata with a floral pattern.
