Foreword:

Hello. With me, Fap Emperor, in the foreword of the second volume of my masterpiece (Ugh! I felt like a narcissist when writing that!). There are one…two…three things I want to share here.

First, I realized the pace of the first volume was SLOW! Slightly over 50k words yet less than a week passed in the story! Even I, the author, felt that it was a snail's pace! The main problem with the story's pacing was adult content. Therefore, I decided to flash out some adult content for the sake of the plot. I hope that you wouldn't mind it.

Second, I decided to delete the "Generous Fapper" tier and change "Noble Fapper" to "Privileged Patron" on my Pa treon. The "Privileged Patron" tier still costs 5$/month, and you could get early access to advanced chapters.

Third, I sincerely thank all my current Patrons for your support. It does help me a lot with IRL.

Anyway, those are the only important things I need to mention now. If other important things come out, I'll put them in the Author's Note section of the future chapter.

Please enjoy the second volume!

Yours truly,

Fap Emperor

Time elapsed. The afternoon became evening, and the sun went down. At Natalia's inn, Merlin and his gang wait for dinner that Natalia was still cooking with Aina's help in the kitchen. Oftentimes, Tianne helped them, but she excused herself at this time because she just woke up. But, that's not the point.

After dinner was served, they ate together. They chatted while enjoying their dinner. After they finished, Natalia announced something. "Listen, everyone," Merlin and the rest of his women turned their attention to Natalia as she began, "The bathhouse is finally open tonight."

"Huh? Really?" Filia perked up, grinning in anticipation.

"Wow! Isn't that great? I'm glad!" Tianne clapped her hand happily.

"When was the last time I went into a bathhouse?" Llusse asked herself, looking excited by the prospect.

"A bathhouse, isn't it? It's a luxury! We're lucky this time!" Aina sounded eager like the others.

'Will this go according to the second episode OVA?' Merlin contemplated silently.

Back in his original world, a concept of a bathhouse isn't something to make a big deal. However, it's different in this world with medieval level civilization. It needs to take plenty of firewood to heat the bathwater, so it's considered a luxury.

Indeed. Hot water is an expensive commodity in this world. So far, Merlin and his gang had wiped their bodies with water from a basin or using cold water to take a bath.

That made Merlin think, 'Instead of wasting plenty of firewood, using magic is more convenient, isn't it? What did I never think about this before? There are Tianne and Aina that can use magic, and with the enhancement from my semen, heating bathwater is a walk in a park!'

Putting Merlin's late realization aside, they went to the bathhouse at the same time. They entered different changing rooms, which were separated by gender.

After wrapping a towel around his waist to cover his lower body, Merlin went out and saw the wide bathtub made from a formation of rocks that seemed natural. The water was steaming. When he turned his gaze up, he saw no ceiling there and could see the night sky.

Merlin shifted his attention to the washing area. 'First, I have to wash my body before taking a dip in the hot water.'

Even though he wasn't a Japanese person in his previous life, he was aware of Japan's bathing culture. It was thanks to Anime, Manga, and Light Novels he'd read.

Merlin did just that, after which he entered the bathtub. Foot first.

"Hm, the temperature is alright. Okay. I'm gonna enter now!" Merlin said and submerged into the water before leaning his back on the rock, gazing up to the starry night sky.

"Wah~! This is so comfortable! I think I understand why Japs are obsessed with their bath," Merlin mused loudly. "Now, I want to have some snacks and alcohol to complete the experience."

"Excuse us." Merlin turned to the exit when he heard Filia's voice. He saw everyone was there, naked. Filia continued before he could ask, "Since we don't always get to go to a bathhouse…"

"Let's all enjoy this together!" Tianne finished.

Merlin inspected their naked body carefully and saw the light blush on their faces. After a few moments of silence, Merlin nodded his head and said, "Suit yourself, then."

They seemed to be pleased with his answer.

"Did you wash your body before entering the water? You have to wash your body first before getting in, you know," Aina said as she went to the washing area. She sat down on a wooden stole while looking at him over her shoulder, waiting for his answer.

"I did." Merlin nodded at her.

"And here I thought I could help washing your body… I have even bought this! What a shame…" Natalia pouted at Merlin as she brought her hands forward, showing pink liquids in two vials in each hand.

Everyone immediately turned their eyes to the vials. "That is…" Filia sounded confused. The rest also had confused faces.

"This is a special liquid soap I ordered from the village's apothecary! This can make our bathing experience more fun!" Natalia explained smugly.

Filia, Tianne, and Llusse had their interest piqued. Only Aina had a guarded expression, looking at the vials suspiciously. Meanwhile, Merlin silently thought, 'That is also aphrodisiac, isn't it?'

"It is a shame that it will become a waste," said Natalia, having a regretful expression.

However, Merlin was aware that it was fake. She was feigning it!

'But, as a hero, I shouldn't make a fair lady feel sad! Yes! I will do it!' Merlin made up his mind and stood up abruptly, gathering the attention of everyone. "I don't mind it. You can help me wash my body again!"

Natalia perked up and smirked coyly. "Well, allow this old lady to wash your body, my Lord."

"Wait! I'll help too!" Tianne exclaimed and stood up from her stool.

"Me too!" (Filia)

"Don't you dare to forget me!" (Llusse)

Filia and Llusse joined and went to Natalia.

All the while, Aina watched everything from the corner of her eyes. 'Can't I enjoy this without anything lewd happened?' She closed her eyes and sighed in exasperation. 'You know what? If they are going to do it, I'll join as well! I won't be ignored!'

Her decision made up, Aina left her stool and joined the rest. They lathered their fronts and hands with the liquids before turning to Merlin who'd left the bathtub.

"Alright. Now, please sit down there," Natalia said and pointed at an empty wooden stool with her eyes. Merlin obliged, and right afterward, they swarmed him.
