The Strongest Wizard Becomes a Countryside Guardsman After Taking an Arrow to the Knee - Chapter 417

Chapter 417 – Everyone Takes a Bath

「Ryaa ryaa」

「Moo!」

I kept washing my hair while listening to Shiggy and Moofy play around.

With Timi watching, I guessed it wouldn’t be a problem.

Then Millet came to me and washed my back off.

「I’ll wash your arms next.」

「No, I can do it myself.」

「Please, just allow me.」

And so Millet moved on to washing my arms.

「No, I can wash them myself…」

「Don’t worry. Sometime I have to repay you for teaching me magic…」

Millet, Colette, and Steff were my magical followers.

It’s true that many followers would do things for their masters in this world.

But most of that is the stuff of old stories.

I’m sure some still do, but they’re in the minority.

「You don’t have to act like that…no one does that anymore.」

「Well, then consider it my personal thanks. Just relax.」

「I mean…」

「It’s hard for you to wash your arms with your eyes closed, right?」

「Well, if you just rinse my hair off.」

「Just wait.」

And with that Millet continued in washing my arms.

She did it with just enough strength. She was quite good at it, I guessed.

「Do you have anywhere that itches?」

「Ah, no…」

「Tell me if Im rubbing you too hard.」

「No, it feels really good.」

「Eheh heh heh」

I had finished cleaning my hair and wanted it rinsed out.

「Millet, do you think you could rinse my hair?」

I searched the floor for a water bucket, but when I reached out,

「Al, do you have somewhere that itches?」

Someone else was rubbing my hair,

「…Ah, Cruz.」

「It’s Cruz.」

「I washed my hair already, you don’t have to.」

「What? But it’s hard to wash with your eyes closed.」

「Not really.」

「Wait a second.」

「Everyone washes their hair with their eyes closed. You do too right?」

「I usually have Yureena wash it.」

「…I see.」

I thought she did it alone.

I remembered she did previously when we got in the bath together before.

I guess Yureena scolded her for not doing it right when she did it alone previously.

「Hmm hmm hmmmmm」

She hummed along and washed my hair again.

「Cruz, I’m washing Mister Al, so go and wash yourself off, okay?」

「No, I got this.」

「I’m his follower so please allow me.」

「Being a follower has nothing to do with it.」

I guess Cruz was finally right about that.

The problem is that I didn’t need my hair washed again twice.

「Ah! I’m a follower too, let me wasth him!」

…

「Moo moo」

Now both Collette and Moofy were getting excited about nothing.

「Collette, stay in the bath. You’ll catch a cold.」

「But…」

I told them, but still could hear a lot of splashing.

I guessed Collette was coming this way.

「Wuff」

「What is it Femm?」

「Wuff wuff」

「Kyaaa」

I guessed that Femm had stopped Collette. She still was having fun, it seemed.

…

I knew that Femm would watch out for her though. Very dependable.

On the other hand, Millet and Cruz were fighting over me.

「I can wash him better!」

「Really, well Cruz, just see how good I can do it!」

「Ah! You can’t just start washing him like that!」

「Hah, no fooling me!」

「Millet, you cheater! Then you can wash his body and I’ll wash his hair.」

So with that said, Cruz started to wash my hair.

I was already done washing it though. All I needed was to rinse it off.

Even so, I guess she was good at it.

It felt good, I mean.

「Geez, Cruz…」

Millet complained while she washed my arms and shoulders, and then my neck.

Millet was quite good as well, it was like getting a massage.

「Al, do you have anywhere that itches?」

「No, thanks, Cruz.」

「Mister Al, your shoulders are tight. Even your neck is.」

「Thanks Millet. It does feel good.」

「I’m glad.」

I was already getting a little sleepy, but if I fell asleep here, I’d catch a cold.

「Okay, I’m washed enough…」

「Hmm hmm hmmmm」

I was trying to get them to stop, but both of them wouldn’t.

I asked them over and over, but they refused to listen.

I had to do something before I fell asleep.

So I used magic to lift some water and dump it on me to rinse me off.
