Dye walked into the room, or more accurately, snuck into this 'bathroom'. In most cities, Dye placed a feature called [Public Bath]. Unlike [Private Bath], [Public Bath] was open to all players, even those who didn't have their own residences. Because people would rarely stop to take a bath, even with this feature, Dye added a benefit for taking a bath : gain EXP by drinking wine.
Inspired by a game, she placed a wine selling stall near the bath's enterance. The caretaker of the stalls in each place were different, and the wine in each location differed from each other as well. Dye, although she didn't bother with food descriptions, was extremely picky about wine. She took a whole day just to describe each wine, and she did her homework as well. Each location would have different wines. For example, in a Japanese based City, the wine would be Soju or Sake. Each wine had their own characteristics.
Vrenze City was an Italy based city, and so the wine was Italian Grape Wine. The wonderful scent wafted past Dye's nose and her heart pounded at the scent. She was grateful for creating such a wonderful wine...
Though, that wasn't the reason why they were there, and so, Dye immediately looked at which tub the second prince would take a bath in. Although [Public Bath]s were public, the players still had to buy a tub slot. Thankfully, it wasn't the game world, where Dye extorted huge sums of money from the players.
Said person was rubbing her own nose in shame.
This bath wasn't that big, only available for thirty players. In the game, the baths had unlimited tubs, but the players needed to go through a portal array (and pay again) to get there. Simply saying, all the money were worth the experience.
The hot water exuded some steam, blocking a bit of Dye and Ynoir's vision, but the lighting wasn't bad so they could still see the prince's silhouette. Avoiding said person, they crept over to one side of the bath house. This side had lockers, indicating that it was where they store their towels and other bathing essentials.
Only one locker had some bathing essentials put in it, and to Dye's surprise, they were pink coloured. One should know that Dye didn't discriminate the colour pink but...in the game, men's hygiene essentials were green coloured, and female hygiene essentials were pink coloured (apparently hygiene is also a thing in Hyouka. Though, why people rarely go to the bath house is because they can do it anywhere with a large amount of water : river, lake, pond, etc). It was surprising to see females' hygiene essentials...and a male consumer.
A soft husky voice continued humming as he washed himself off. He was worthy of the title 'prince', just look at his body structure! He was so lean, and not too muscly. One could also see his abdominal muscles.
"Are you into those type of bodies?" -Ynoir
"..." -Dye
Ynoir didn't know why he was worried that Dye actually liked the prince...
It wasn't even his business to take care of in the first place. Dye only saved him, and he would do his utmost to repay her. A life for a life, he felt that it was fair. He would help Dye in whatever conquest she had, and she...he didn't expect her to do the same.
He didn't want to ask for more from her. Although, he was unfamiliar to this foreign feeling that wormed its way into his heart.
Not long after, a small shriek was heard.
"Molesters! Molesters!" A high pitched voice, contrary to the low husky voice they heard earlier, lmost broke their eardrums.
Thankfully, Dye had erected a sound barrier beforehand, preventing the shriek from escaping.
Was he really the second prince? Why did Dye feel as if he was a young virgin lady instead?
