Chapter 17: A nice relaxing time
Pov Dia,
After she said we'd go for a bath, we headed for a hot spring.
Scathach:" Before you go into that hot spring, you'll have to wash. The slime can directly go into the hot spring unless there is a risk that it will dissolve."
Rimuru:" I have no problem being in the water."
After he said that, he threw himself in the bath while Sera was taking me to the place to wash.
Even washing was torture.
Dia:" Are we going to have another fight where we're going to get beaten again or are we going to have another fight while my wound heals."
Scathach:" It will only depend on how you will feel tomorrow. If your wounds haven't healed as much as I thought, you'll just switch to magic control training."
Sera:" Fights will always be 3 vs 1 or 1 vs 1 times."
Scathach:" It could be 1 vs 1 because you also have to learn to fight without support. If, for example Dia becomes too dependent of your support, then when she fights alone, she could lose the fight."
Thinking about what she said, I can't agree with her anymore.
After we washed, we went to the hot spring to join Rimuru.
As I entered the spring, I felt all my body relax.
Scathach:" This hot spring has purifying properties. It is a great place to rest the body and mind. In addition, this source increases regeneration. But after a while in the source its effects will no longer be visible. '
Rimuru:" So that means it won't affect us for the rest of our lives?"
Scathach:" No you just have to get out of the bath and come back later."
Will be:" How long more or less."
Scathach:" Hmm, I would say 10 hours but in reality it depends on the people."
This is good news that we just have to wait for the source to affect us again.
Dia:" Is all the hot springs like that?"
Scathach:" Sure, but mine was normal so I put runes for its temperature and effects."
Sera:" What are runes?"
Scathach:" Runes come from Norse mythology. It can be used for combat or just enchanted with things."
Dia:" What do you mean enchanted? "
Scathach:" I mean give effect to weapons or objects. The enchantments are diverse, we have for a better absorption of energy or make a sharper blade. With a good knowledge of runes you can do many things."
Dia:" So you're saying we could create an ultimate weapon with runes."
Scathach:" No, because some runes don't go with others, so if you put too many runes on a weapon, it can explode."
Dia:" Runes are quite complex."
Scathach:" Hahaha, I'm not telling you."
After this explanation, we all enjoy the hot spring. Once finished Sathach-sensei began to speak.
Scathach:" Now, place for the most important event. The massaging."
After saying that she gave us a massage. It was so amazing that I thought I could die now without any regret.
Scathach:" These massages can be used to kill, you know."
Sera:" How do they do that?"
Scathach: "They do the massage that relaxes the victim well to the point of no longer staying on the defensive and then he kills them is no more complicated than that."
It's true that I have no problem visualizing this kind of scenario.
Scathach:" Another way is to use some lightning when doing the massage. It must not be strong enough to hurt, just enough to stimulate the nerves. If it is well applied, the victim will die reaching the 7th heaven. "
Rimuru: " It must be nice to die like that. "
Scathach:" Indeed, but one of the problems is that it's complicated and also that the victim will have a head to wonder how he died. I would train you to do this kind of massage that could be useful in some situation."
After that, we went to the meal of which there was a wide possibility of food. And then we went to sleep.
