"As expected, a natural hot spring is the best!"
Bourne recalled his childhood time when he took a bath in the natural hot spring behind Ur's house.
For him, who mastered "Water" magic, searching for a water source was as easy as stealing candy from a baby.
If he wanted, he might become a "bathing tycoon", owning the largest public bathing chains in the world.
However, even though it was easy money, he didn't really want to do it since most "bathing houses" would be related to prostitution.
Prostitution, itself, was good business since it generated a lot of money, but of course, he would be frowned upon.
In the end, Bourne didn't think too much and enjoyed the hot spring silently. It happened to be at night, however, this place wasn't covered in darkness since the pools were glowing in blue light.
It was a really breathtaking view and he hoped to bring Ur and Ultear in this place too, but he needed to make the resort first so they could have a private time together.
Bourne wanted to take a picture of these pools, but in the end, he decided to relax first since he could do that later.
It was at this moment, Bourne heard a sound of someone entering the pool, of course, he turned his head since if he didn't so he wouldn't be called a man however.....
"......"
Bourne became instantly disappointed when he saw what happened in front of him.
Erza entered the pool, but she didn't take off her armor and entered the pool by wearing swimwear along with armor in her body. Upon entering the pool, she sighed in relief and felt all of the forwon on her body disappeared, but at the same time, she realized that Bourne was looking at her.
"What's wrong?"
"It's not what's wrong?! What happened?! Don't you know that it is rude to wear clothes in a hot spring?!"
Bourne stood up instantly and couldn't handle it anymore. He felt that this girl was too rude toward the hot spring.
The moment he stood up, he forgot that he didn't wear anything below and showed the leviathan between his legs, but he didn't care and needed to teach this girl a manner or else his heart couldn't calm down.
"......."
Fortunately, the pool was glowing so the leviathan was hidden by the light of the pool.
However, Erza didn't look at him, but rather the leviathan between his legs since this scene was more intriguing.
Bourne didn't care much about Erza's eyes and he preached to her how sacred hot spring was while moving, dangling around.
"......."
It seemed that Erza didn't hear what Bourne had told her and her eyes kept following the movement of his leviathan from right to left, from up to down. She felt that it was very mysterious and she was wondering how the light would follow this leviathan around.
'Is it about this size?'
Erza made a scale using her hands and raised her eyebrow since it might be biggest one that she had seen. In the past, she also had taken a bath with a male member of Fairy Tail such as Natsu and Gray, but both of them were small compared to what she had seen here.
"Erza, did you hear me?"
"Huh? Wh, what?"
"......."
Bourne was speechless when he saw that Erza didn't even listen to him. "I mean, you should take off your armor when you're in the bath."
"......."
Erza stared at Bourne for a while and said, "No!" She had a blush on her face and didn't expect this guy to ask her to take off her clothes and become naked.
"Why?"
"Just no!"
Erza couldn't tell him that she was afraid to take off her armor. Her heart was fragile and she was haunted by her past, even though everyone on the guild had helped her so much, but it didn't reach deep into her heart.
Bourne raised his eyebrow and wondered whether this girl had her own reason. He sighed and sat down in the pool once again. "Even if you don't want to, then why don't you change your iron armor into clothing based armor. Your armor might rust faster if you dip into this pool."
"Rust?"
Erza raised her eyebrow for a while, but she nodded. She changed her armor into clothing based armor and somehow, she felt embrassed.
Bourne nodded and felt satisfied. He closed his eyes and relaxed himself.
Erza had a hard time relaxing but when she saw that Bourne seemed to be relaxed and even floated on the pool itself, she raised her eyebrow, especially when Bourne's levithan shone once again.
"......."
"Bourne, did you learn light magic?" Erza asked.
"No. What's wrong?" Bourne asked.
"......."
Erza wanted to ask something, but she felt that she was too embrassed to ask this question. She took a deep breath and decided to not overthink, but in the end, his shining levithan kept appearing on her head. She became very bothered and she decided to ask, "Bourne, I know it is a bit rude, but I want to ask you a question?"
"What's wrong?"
"Why is that part of yours shining?" Erza asked.
"Which part?" Bourne asked.
"That part."
"Which?"
"That!"
In the end, Erza pointed her finger at Bourne's shining leviathan.
"Oh, it is just censorship since the reader might be bothered by it," Bourne said.
"Huh? Cencorship? The reader?" Erza was confused.
"Don't think too much. Enjoy the pool while you can since you might need to pay in if you want to enter this pool in the future," Bourne said while watching the night sky.
It might be because this place was free of pollution so he could see a clear sky that was full of stars which was very beautiful.
Bourne took his camera and took a picture of the sky.
In the end, Erza didn't think too much and also relaxed.

The next morning, Bourne reported that he had cleared the pools and he would send his people soon.
The head villager nodded and thanked him.
Bourne didn't care about how grateful they were since he couldn't eat it. He received the contract from villagers and then decided to continue his journey. He looked at Erza and and asked, "Do you want me to send you to the train station?"
"Yes."
Erza wore a helmet and then sat on the back seat, looking at this motorcycle, she was wondering whether she could buy it at him.

Overlooking the scenery of the town, there were two figures standing next to each other.
Behind the figures of two people, there was a large number of people.
One figure with huge stature and fat body seemed quite nervous, and the other one had this cruel smirk and long blonde hair, his eyes were crazed and thirsty of something.
"Ugh... Zancrow, w, w, w, what should we do?" The fat man asked while stuttering and nervously, looking at the man beside him.
"Ha? What else? They're just a bug! We're going trample them!" The man laughed cruelly and he was ready to erase everything.
"Ugh.. if, if, if only Ultear is here...." The fat man held his head while squatting down.
"Ha? Why are you mentioning that traitor! If we meet her then just kill her! Isn't that what Master has told you?!"
"Ugh.. r, r, really? I, I, I've got to kill Ultear?"
"Of course!" The man smirked and said, "But let's do that later since we need to kill all the people in this city first!"
"Oh, oh, oh!" The fat man nodded several times. He looked at the men behind him and said, "L, l, l, let's go everyone!"
"YEAH!!!!!"
The fat man and the cruel man walked together and no one could stop them at this moment.
