【A female slave’s perspective: Day 73】
I heard of the existence of hot springs a long time ago, from my grandfather.
I heard that when you submerge yourself in hot water that had gushed out from the ground after it had cooled down a certain degree, you could get a taste of paradise on earth. I remembered it very well, since my grandfather had told me while looking as if he were longing for something far in the past.
My hometown was attacked by bandits, my house was burned, and my family was killed. Only I survived, because I had left for the forest by chance, and ever since then, I voluntarily became a soldier instead of prostituting myself. Until that day, I had almost never gotten into anything that resembles a bathtub.
At the most, I just wiped my body with a wet cloth or I went to a closeby river with my friends.
It’s just that the men of the village would come to peep on us and it was really cold in the winter, so I had mostly only wiped myself until now.
The situation became significantly better once I became a soldier, but even then, I never submerged my whole body into warm water. I was using a magic item called shower head that poured warm water over my head.
Even so, this was a moment of bliss for me, and it became one of my pleasures to imagine wha it would be like to actually dip your body into a hot spring.
It was at this time that our fight with the elves started. The unit I belonged to was chosen to move out.
If I succeeded here, I might be promoted. My situation might not be that bad, considering I rose from being a commoner, but I motivated myself with the thought of being able to live a better life.
As a result, I was caught and enslaved.
When I first got caught, I was thinking that it was pointless for me to have chosen to become a soldier because I didn’t want to sell my body as a prostitute. From now on, I would be raped by goblins and hobgoblins and I would spend the rest of my life as a breeding machine. I thought that it was my destiny to spend such a gloomy life.
But, I was wrong.
The goblins were more disciplined that I had thought and, above all, they were gentle. It may sound weird, but once I got used to them, I mysteriously felt that they had a certain charm to them.
From what I heard from my seniors, captured women were raped until they were tattered and die, but they let me live a life that was partially even better than what I originally had.
The bed was soft and fluffy, and the food tasted good.
And, above all, we struck a hot spring today.
The half demon Asue, who was like an elder sister to me, dug it up.
For that reason, today's plan changed into the installation of the hot spring and I was also helping.
It was finished in one day. I think that, just by the speed, one can understand how amazing the restless skeleton workforce was.
After the upper ranks entered the hot spring, we were allowed to enter it too.
The hot spring I had imagined for so long that you could say that it had been my dream for years. That hot spring was right in front of my eyes.
As my heart raced, I slowly dipped myself in and my whole body melted with an indescribable pleasure. There was a sensation of my fatigue being washed away by the warm water. The tensed muscles around my joints relaxed and my body flushed as my blood flow improved.
When I tried drinking the water, I felt the sensation of vigor overflowing from my entire body.
I thought that I wouldn’t mind staying here if I could experience this pleasure everyday.
Yeah, not bad.
Today, I found a happiness that could only be found here.
