Chapter 75: Hot Springs
It has been one week since the duo had been in the land of hot water. Even though Kentaro had decided to quickly reach the land of lightning to recruit the Chinoike clan and then learn sage mod, they couldn't resist the temptation of staying here.
Kentaro and Mū had been in hot springs for the entirety of the week. They stayed in the magnificent Gyoken village.
The people of Gyoken village were extremely welcoming, they even insisted for the passing Kentaro and Mū to stay here indefinitely.
Deep inside one of the hot spring areas of Gyoken village, Kentaro and Mū were chilling inside of the greatest hot spring.
Mū had removed his bandages, he didn't look like a mummy anymore. Kentaro was feeling sad for him because his body was filled with tremendous scars.
Six months ago, during the failed negotiations with Kamizuru clan, Kentaro remembered that Mū had said that he had been saved from a fire after slavers had attacked his village.
"What are you looking at!?" Mū did not like it when Kentaro looked at his burned body.
"I was looking at your cool short spiky blond hair. Anyways, when are we leaving this place?"
Mū did not answer Kentaro's question, he slowly approached him while still being in the hot spring.
"Yo...YO! Stay back you weirdo, why are you coming closer to me. We're freaking naked, so stay back."
Mū stopped approaching towards Kentaro and placed his finger on his own mouth, telling Kentaro to shut up.
He then said something, but he said it so low that Kentaro couldn't hear it.
"WHAT!?" Mū lost it for a second after Kentaro shouted like that. He jumped on him and slapped Kentaro on the face.
Mū then grabbed Kentaro from the throat and began choking him.
"You little shit, Didn't I tell you to shut up?" Mū whispered menacingly in Kentaro's ear while choking him.
Kentaro pushed Mū back, he couldn't believe it. He had been savagely attacked because he asked a simple question.
Mū placed his finger back on his mouth, but this time he did it while opening his eyes very widely.
'This kid is actually a fucking psycho!' Kentaro was holding his throat in pain.
Mū said something again, this time it was more clearer than previously.
"Kentaro, there are women in the hot spring behind the wooden wall." Mū had that weird smile on his face.
Kentaro was not stupid, he knew what Mū wanted to do. This kid was truly a pervert.
Kentaro walked next to Mū and placed his hand on his shoulder and talked to him.
"You know, Mū? It's not good to peep. And you're only fifteen, you shouldn't do somet-"
"There is even an exquisite blond woman, she is so...feminine." Mū tried to convince Kentaro by saying things like that.
Hearing this, Kentaro gulped so hard that it could be heard. He looked straight into Mū's eyes.
"Then, let's go and see what it's all about. Don't think that I'm a pervert like you, I just need to make sure that what you say is true. Because...lying is not good."
Mū nodded his head with his pervert smile. He got out of the hot spring and placed a towel around his waist.
The two of them walked on their toes to make the least noise possible. They were in front of the wooden wall that separated the man from the woman.
"Mū, you look first, okay?" Kentaro slowly pushed Mū forward.
He tried to find a little hole in the wooden wall while Kentaro kept watch.
'OH, this bastard is quick when it's about peeping on women! But when I'm freezing to death in a cage, his lazy ass gets the better of him!'
Mū was moving as fast as a snake around the wall, in search of hole. Finally, he found it.
He placed his eye near the hole and saw the group of ten woman walking around the hot spring.
"Hehe, Nono, you smell so good. What soap do you use?" their laughs made Mū go crazy.
'Tsk, look at his piglike face.' Kentaro walked towards Mū and pushed him to the side.
"It's my turn now, hehe." Kentaro had to squat down, he looked at the woman in the hot spring.
He couldn't see much because of the condensed water. He tried to have a better look, but he leaned forward and put too much strength on the thin wooden wall.
"PAK!" the wooden wall broke down and Kentaro fell in the women's area.
"Yaaaaaaaa! A pervert!" they all charged at Kentaro and beat him to a pulp.
With great difficulty, he managed to get out and ran for his life, he looked around to find Mū.
'The mummy has left me to die!' Kentaro managed to escape from the claws of the women.
He spotted Mū outside of the hot springs entrance. He was already dressed and had Kentaro's clothes in his hands.
"Dress yourself. We need to get out of this area before we get caught." Kentaro quickly dressed up in the all red kimono they had bought.
The duo ran away, they stopped in front of a ramen shop, Mū bought two bowls.
"You're really crazy Mū. You even left me to die, you traitor." Kentaro was really disappointed in him.
"Hahaha, you always have to be ready for the unexpected. Now eat the ramen before it gets cold."
"Shut up, don't tell me what to do. Anyways, you really are quick when it's about finding a hole to peep on women. Why the hell did you take one whole hour to place paper bombs in the valley of ice."
Kentaro had veins popping out of his face, he wanted to have an answer.
"Come on, don't be like that. The situation in the hot springs forced me to be quick, in the valley of ice everything was under control."
"So, me being in a cage didn't force you to be quick!?" Kentaro had an unbelievable expression.
"No." Mū seemed uninterested by Kentaro's feelings.
"What!?"
...
...
...
...
Kentaro complained the whole time while they were eating their ramen and when it was nighttime, they decided that it was time to finally resume the travel.
