My Journey: The Reason Why I Will Live

???: Now that awful sect is done for. Our plot to destroy their precious baths is done. Right now, everything is going to plan at the other places, too. If all goes well, we need only wait. We're long-lived—what's ten or twenty years to us?

???: Hans, you didn't have to come here just to inform me of that. i keep telling you, I've come to recuperate in these very baths. Please don't involve me in your schemes.

Hans: aww, don't be like that, wolbach. We could never get rid of this church. With an open attack; and this is a chance to take them out. And I'll keep coming to make my reports, so you just keep bathing here in this hotel, all right?

Varakiel: seriously all of you are only trouble.

Varakiek wrapped in a towel gets inside the spring.

Varakiel: ahhh so good…..yo wolbach and hans was it?

Hans aura turns sinister.

Varakiel: relax the aura buddy i didn't came here to fight, i am here to relax.

Wolbach:...

Hans:....who are you?

Varakiel: oh you must have heard about me. beldia and vanir, those names are familiar to you?

Wolbach: the hero?

Varakiel: in the flesh.

Wolbach and hans becomes wary someone capable of defeating beldia and vanir is no joke.

Varakiel: not worry relax, like i said i didn't came here to fight both of you, but seriously why are you reporting in a open space like this, you can even hear everything from the other baths.

Wolbach: see i told you.

Hans:...

Varakiel: mhm, and it was rather easy to find you actually you weren't exactly discreet, why the hell did you use your real name hans for registering….

Wolbach: oi hans…..

Hans:.....

Hans then rushed out without saying anything.

Varakiel:.....is he actually an idiot?

Wolbach: why you say that?

Varakiel: the reason i could defeat beldia is because he left his castle and came alone to axel, and vanir because he understimated my means, and now this guy who instead of remaining with his only ally runs away…..but enough of that, wolbach was it?

Wolbach: mhm, you must be varakiel fateburn is it?

Varakiel: mhm, if i remember you are a fallen goddess is it?

Wolbach: you surely know about us.

Varakiel: mhm thats the problem of the long living, with the time their secrets will reveal and then they fall, just look how easy i found hans.

Wolbach: true….and you very sure of yourself mr varakiel.

Varakiel: hahaha, lady wolbach just call me varakiel, and i am sure of myself because i atleast know that i can hold my ground against the two of you.

Wolbach: so powerful!?

Varakiel: i already have more than 5 countermeasures for each of you.

Wolbach: oh and which are those?

Varakiel: i would tell you if you join me, hahahaha.

Wolbach: hehe, you're a funny fellow…..

Wolbach notices the cat in varakiel head.

Varakiel: ah so you noticed her, this is how i found you using your other half~.

Wolbach:.....the demon king sure is in problems….

Varakiel: bwahahaha.

Wolbach: did vanir possesed you or something?

Varakiel: well actually yeah and it seems i caught his laugh haha.

Wolbach: impressive your will must be very strong if you got possessed and still defeated him.

Varakiel then takes out some hand-made sake.

Varakiel: want some?

Wolbach: space magic? ….sure.

....

Wolbach: well it's time to take my leave, varakiel you sure are a funny fellow, but next time it will be as enemies.

Varakiel: are you sure? My proposal will be up whenever you want hahaha, until we meet again wolbach.

Chomusuke: nyaaoow.

Wolbach:.....until we meet again.

Wolbach then gets out of the room and hears varakiel comment something.

Varakiel: chomusuke you surely have a beautiful body. Alright let me wash you up in normal water i know you get hurt by the spring water~.

Varakiel the puts chomusuke in a small bowl with normal hot water.

Wolbach then blush deeply and enters the changing room.

….

Varakiel: well that went better that i expected~.

Salamander suddenly appear besides varakiel in the spring.

Salamander: you are really crazy you knew that right?

Varakiel: isn't that why you love me so much?

Salamander: that and a lot of other things…

Varakiel: hehe~.

Varakiel and salamander relax together.

 ….

At the women bath

Megumin: Oh-ho! The bath at our house is not bad, but this is what you'd expect from a top-class hotel! You could practically swim in it!

Darkness: megumin, swimming in the bath is bad manners….hey, what are you doing!? Why are you taking your towel…? Oh!

Megumin: what are you so embarrassed about? It's just us girls. Are we not stalwart adventurers? Who are we to be so dainty and easily flustered?

Granberia: indeed child, there's nothing to be shy about your body.

Yunyun: y-yeah ms. granberia is right!

Megumin: don't say that with these two melons in your chest!

Varakiel: hehe it seems they are having fun.

Salamander: …mhm, i must admit i am glad i didn't reject your offer to come here, meet new places, new people, even new foes….hehe the best adventure one could have.

Varakiel: hehe, and i know granberia is the same, isn't granberia?

Granberia:....indeed.

Varakiel and granberia speak through the wall of the bath.

Megumin: w-wait he can hear us!?

Varakiel: indeed child this place isn't exactly noisy so you can hear everything.

Yunyun: awawawa.

Darkness:.....

Granberia: so how did it go?

Varakiel: one of the general is leaving arcanletia, the fallen goddess wolbach.

Darkness: f-fallen goddess!?

Varakiel: mhm, but hans the poisonous slime remains here, isn't wiz with you?

Megumin: ah right wiz come out already!

Wiz: b-but mr varakiel….

Varakiel: don't worry i had enough for today enjoy your bath.

Varakiel then gets up the bath and goes to the changing room. And chomusuke follows him.

…..

Varakiel: alright is good like this?

Chomusuke: nyaaa!

Varakiel: good~! Hehe you're so cute, now up you go

Varakiel then puts chomusuke on top of his head.

Chomusuke: nyaaow~.

Varakiel then leaves the bathrooms…

Varakiel: hmm so relaxing…now let's get to work, salamander tell everyone when they are done to rush to the heart of the hot springs, i will be holding down hans from completing his plan.

Salamander: got it.
