Mary bowed to Katamori as two maids lead her out of the mansion. "Master, you must be tired after training for so long. If you wish to go to the bath, I could lead you there."
I stood up and grabbed my papers, "Actually that sounds like a good idea."
Mary showed me the way to the baths, "Through this blue curtain is the men's bath, you don't have anything else going on today so please enjoy yourself in there. Also, I will take your papers and leave them in your room."
I handed my stuff over to Mary, "Thanks, I guess I will see you later then."
I walked through the curtain, there were cubbies lining the walls and none of them had anything in them. I guess I'm the only one here so I can fully relax without anybody to annoy me.
I took off my clothes and grabbed a towel from the rack. I then walked through another curtain that let to the bath. The room was quite large and was foggy due to the heat of the water. There were steps that led into the bath and it looked like it was a few feet deep.
I stepped into the bath and at first, the water felt too hot but as time passed I became used to it. It felt like the hot springs back in the mortal realm, but the only difference was that it did not have the smell of rotten eggs.
"Wow, this feels incredible, it has been such a long time since I've last been in a bath."
With each movement, I disturbed the calm water, in just a few minutes the bath was filled with small waves that bounced off the walls of the bath. It was calming to see the mesmerizing waves crash against each other.
My eyes followed the waves, "Back and forth, back and forth." it felt as if I was one with the bath, feeling the waves pass through me as if I was one of the waves.
Behind me, I heard some footsteps and a hand moved the curtain leading to the bath out of the way.
"Ahh, I can't wait to take a bath, everyone has been working so hard that we could not take a bath yesterday. It was just too chaotic of a day for anyone to have any time to rest." The person looked down and saw me sitting there looking back at him, "Huh? Master? Oh my, I didn't see you there. Am I even allowed to be in here with you? Oh no, I might g..."
I blinked and he disappeared, "Wait what was that, hello is anybody there? Who is trying to play a trick on me? Show yourself!" But nobody answered, "Huh that was weird, well whatever it was just me hallucinating from working so hard and from the heat of the bath."
I turned back around and closed my eyes, "This is my time to relax, I don't have any time to stress over stuff like that."
Behind me, I heard some footsteps and a hand moved the curtain leading to the bath out of the way.
"Ahh, I can't wait to take a bath, everyone has been working so hard that we could not take a bath yesterday."
I stood up and pointed at him, "Hey, you! Didn't you just do that already?"
The man looked at me with wide eyes and took a step back, "Master? You already in the bath? I'm sorry I will leave right away."
"No no, it's fine, you can stay here. But you already walked in here once before and saw me. Why are you acting surprised?
"Umm, I just got here, this is the first time I have come in here today. So I don't know what you mean."
But I just saw this person walk in here just a few moments ago. So there is no way that he does not remember.
I sat back down, "Well it does not matter anymore, you came here to relax and take a bath right? I don't want to waste any more of your time."
The servant stepped into the bath, "You don't have to worry about me, Master. We are here to serve you so don't worry about us."
"Of course I'm going to worry, you are a person with feelings just like me. But don't say that kind of stuff when in the bath with another guy, it is kind of weird."
"Oh shit, sorry I was not thinking properly because I was not expecting you to be here."
We both relaxed in the bath for around half an hour until I decided to leave, "Alright I'm going to go, it was nice meeting you."
The servent turned to me, "Yes, likewise."
I walked out of the bath and dried myself with my towel, it was quite soft. I put it into the dirty towels bin and put on my clothes.
"That was a nice experience, I gotta do that again soon."
I walked out of the curtain to see Ann and a few other servants sweeping the floor around the bathhouse.
She looked up and seemed a bit surprised, "Master? Hello, I was not expecting to see you around here. How was the bath?"
"Hi Ann, it was quite a good experience, I plan on going back very soon."
Ann stopped sweeping, "Is there anything that you need help with?"
"Well I was planning on going to check out the library after I was done with the bath, and I don't see Mary anywhere so if you can show me to the library that would great."
"Of course I will take you to the library, you two keep cleaning around here. I will be back after I take master to the library."
While we were walking to the library the incident in the bathhouse was still in the back of my mind. I wanted to know why that happened, it seemed too vivid to be just a hallucination. But there was no way it could have been my power, I only had just one day of training. So there was absolutely no way that it was my future seeing powers. Right?
