Alexis regretted it.
He had planned to go to the bathhouse
when it was no longer crowded, and now here he was.
However, it was almost bedtime now,
and he did not want to bother his seniors by going to ask them now.
（Is new recruits always in trouble?）
He thought so, but he could not stay
at a loss forever.
Now, there were two doors in front of
Alexis.
So, in conclusion, (...I
don't know which is the men's bath and which is the women's bath...!).
That was the problem Alexis was
running into.
And for now, he decides to open the
door on a hunch.
Maybe if it was a women's bath, there
must be a fragrant woman's smell... like a fine perfume, sweet, sexy, and
pungent. That's how he imagines it.
**a
And now, as he slammed open the door,
a muffled humidity covered his skin.
In front of him is a changing room.
There are shelves, a towel rack, a chair, and a mirror.
It was unoccupied, but at any rate,
it did not give him the sweet image he had imagined. In fact, it smelled like a
bath. The smell of bath salts and shampoo.
（I see... I don't know...）
Alexis thought so, but decided to
take off his clothes, thinking it would be fine. After all, there is no scent
of sexiness here.
He takes off his armor in the room,
then removes his tunic, trousers, and belt, and puts them into a shelf in a
messy way.
After removing all the clothes, he
wrapped a towel around his waist just in case.
Then he walks toward the door leading
to the public bath.
――And
just then, the door opens with a click.
It seems that someone has already
come before him. Fortunately, he had wrapped a towel around his waist. Lucky.
Alexis thinks.
But the person who opened the door――
「――Hey.
Fatima, are you in yet?」
Her eyes, defenseless,
amethyst-colored, bright and pretty, are fixed intently on Alexis.
She must have stretched out when
opened the door because her slightly bent over bosom creates a dazzling
cleavage of white skin, and a drop of water drips down into the gutter of the
cleavage.
Her bosoms are fuller than expected,
and the baby-pink tips are modestly pointed.
Her waist, which is so thin that it
is doubtful it can hold iron armor, curves down to her plump buttocks, and
leads to her supple, soft thighs.
Between her tightly closed thighs, a
modest, almost lush hair, the same color of platinum blonde as her hair,
bloomed....
「Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!」
Immediately, Alexis was snapped out
of his reverie by the scream of a woman herself.
「Wh-What are y-you doing in hereeee!!?」
Smack!!
Before he can argue with her, her
fist is slammed down on Alexis' cheek.
It was surprisingly painful. And then
his body is blown away.
With a dull thud, his back hit a
chair.
And at the same time, a strange sound
of "Goha!" escapes from his mouth, and what flutters up in the air is
a sheet of pure white. It was a white towel that was supposed to cover his
thing.
（Oh, no! I'm done）
Alexis sees Fransisca's teary-eyed
face with bright red cheeks.
「You are the worst!? Disgusting,
awful!」
Fransisca was shouting.
「Pervert!? Scum!? Filthy!? Get out?!
Get out now!!」
She kicked his leg and it hurts him a
lot.
But she is kind enough to avoid
kicking his thing...but not so much. It must be so bad that she hesitates to
even step on his feet.
「Sorry? I'm sorry!!」
Alexis had to apologize anyway.
He immediately picked up his clothes
that he had shoved into the shelf and left the place running, completely naked.
Immediately, he ran to the door of
the men's bath right next to the door.
Alexis was relieved to see that the
door was also unoccupied.
「T-There was a witness to my
monster...」
He looks down at his own dong.
There is a single tentacle hanging
down sadly. But then, when he thinks back to her naked body that he had just
seen... immediately, it starts to twitch and lengthen like a turtle's head that
literally grows out of its shell.
No man in the world has ever seen
such a white and fresh skin.
（What a waste. What a loss for
mankind!）
Alexis was about to reach for his dong
when he stopped.
「Wait, what am I doing? I'm not trying
to be a solo master!」
Besides, there are more urgent
matters to deal with right now!
Yes, Fransisca has witnessed Alexis' abnormal
shape.

* * *
Meanwhile, at this time, Fransisca
was sitting in the changing room, still clutching her shaking shoulders.
「I'll never forgive you... Alex
Rein... only him, never, I swear it!? I'll never forgive him...!!」
Fransisca's eyes were almost tearful,
but at the same time they were burning with anger.
* * *
The next morning, Alexis was summoned
to the command center as soon as possible.
Of course, he had a bad feeling about
this, but he decided to follow the instructions.
This might be the last day to wear
the new iron armor. He thought this to himself.
As expected, Fransisca was waiting
for him in the command center, looking as if she was crawling in the depths of
a bad mood.
When she said "Alex Rein",
her voice had an aura of anger in it.
「I don't care what kind of a rascal
you Krangals are, this is the first time in my life that someone like you has
invaded a bathhouse with such impunity」
Surprisingly, Fransisca's manner of
speaking was unaffected.
「You've had enough of your licking
glances at my body, and y-y-you not satisfied...!」
Fransisca's voice immediately shook.
「Also, y-y-you did that to me...?
Exposing your man's thing...!? You should be ashamed of yourself!!」
Fransisca's face was bright red up to
her ears, as if she remembered yesterday. She was also teary-eyed. It seemed
that she couldn't keep her normal mind.
「Um, about that...」
Alexis spoke awkwardly.
「I'm sorry. But, please don't tell
anyone...」
If possible, he doesn't want her to
tell anyone about his monster.
「What!?」
Fransisca exclaimed.
「H-How could I tell anyone?? T-T-That
embarrassing thing...」
「I see. Well, that's good」
Fransisca seemed to be annoyed by
Alexis' attitude.
「...I see, I understand」
She suddenly cuts in with a quiet
voice.
「Yes?」
Alexis asked back, and Fransisca told
him.
「I have just decided. I've just
decided which placement I'm going to give you」
Ah, it's about Avalon. Alexis
guessed.
And Francis said this to Alexis.

「A guardian of my team was just killed
the other day. So, I'm assigning you to fill in」
「What...?」
Alexis couldn't believe his ears.
「Guardian...? but I want to be an
attacker. Isn't that what the king wrote in his letter?」
A guardian is the most dangerous
position, standing in front of his allies with a large shield, protecting his
surroundings and acting as a decoy for monster.
「Besides, I've never used a shield
before」
Alexis pleaded desperately, but
Fransisca would not listen.
「Well, that's just great. You'll have
a chance to touch the big shield」
Then she smiles.
It is good that the smile is pretty,
but it is not.
「No, no, I don't have a big shield...」
Alexis said that but Fransisca told
him, "Don't worry about it and――".
「If it's a big shield, we still have
the one that belonged to the Guardian who died before us」
And seeing the boiling anger in
Fransisca's smile, Alexis was convinced.
――This
princess is going to kill him!.
「...Okay, I will do it」
Soon Alexis was answering. This was a
desperate move.
「I'll do it. I'll play the role of
guardian. But...」
「Yes, I know what you mean. I'll keep
quiet about what happened」
Hearing Fransisca's answer, Alexis
nodded.
