Chapter 352 – Into the Hot SpringsChapter 352 – Into the Hot Springs
Moofy came running up to us as soon as Vi-Vi, Femm, and I returned home – Chel was on her back.
She had waited patiently beside the magic transport circle, it seems.
「Moo moo!」
「PiGGi」
「We’re back.」
「You were waiting for us?」
Moffy nuzzled into both Vi-Vi and I.
Chel jumped down off of Moofy and onto my shoulder.
「ryaaa」
On the other hand, Shiggy jumped from my pouch and onto Moofy.
I guess they wanted to change places.
There were also four wolves that had has there, waiting for us to return.
「Wuff」
「Wufwuf」
Femm and them sniffed each other, barking and so on.
I petted Chel with one hand and Moffy with the other.
「So how was today, you two?」
「Moo moo!」
『Normaaaal!』
They said happily.
I guess everything was normal for them today.
Seems that Moofy had gone to the death temple’s town.
She had to cover for Leah, since she was gone.
Moofy probably did a lot more work then Leah did, anyway.
『Al! We name village!』
「Oh, so, what is it?」
I had forgotten that the village had no name...
『Chelnovillage.』
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt「Oh? From Chelnobok?」
『Seems so.』
「It’s a good name.」
「PigGi PiggI」
Chel said, with a jiggly shake.
Even so, it was a secret to all of the followers that Chel was the Death Lord, but they named the place after him anyway.
I guess the priest had convinced all of the followers that Chel was very special.
After talking to Chel, Vi-Vi said, 「Aren’t you all cold? Let’s get in the house!」
「Yeah, no need to catch a cold.」
The weather was nice, but it was still winter. The sun was down and the wind was blowing.
The stars, however, shown vividly in the dark sky.
「ryaa?」
Seems that Shiggy and the other magical animals were perfectly fine with the cold.
I thought it was a nice cold feeling, but I could feel my body taking in the frigid air.
So we went back to the house.
「Welcome back old man!」
「Mister Al, welcome back. Would you like a bath or dinner?」
Millet and Collette said, as they greeted us.
「Either would be great.」
Femm and Moofy both wanted to get into the bath...you could see they were waiting patiently.
Their tails were slowly wagging as well.
「What about Cruz and the others?」
「They haven’t come back.」
「I see...well I’ll wait for Cruz to come back before eating dinner.」
「Okay, take a bath then.」
So I asked Vi-Vi, 「Are you going to get in first?」
「Hm? I’ll wait until my sister arrives.」
「I see.」
So I went to get in the bath.
「ryyaa ryaa」
「Moo moo」
「Wuff wuff」
「PiggIII」
The beasts all followed me in, so I took off my clothes, got washed off, with all the beasts sitting there with me.
They were probably wanting me to wash them off too.
「Take your turns.」
「Wuff」
So first I washed Femm.
「Tom and Kay said you smelled good.」
『Of course. I’m no ordinary wolf.』
I guess Femm was prideful about that.
「That reminds me, are the other wolves bad with taking baths?」
『Not bad with them, just don’t care for them.』
「I see.」
『Since it’s winter, they don’t take them.』
「I guess not. Once your wet and cold, you’ll freeze.」
It’s hard to be a wild animal.
After I washed Femm’s soap off, I smelled Femm myself.
It was a pretty good smell.
「Yeah, you’re fine.」
『Thanks.』
Then I washed Moofy and Chel.
I especially washed off her hooves and legs.
Chel was small and jiggly, but fast to wash.
Shiggy could wash herself, but there were places she still missed, like her back.
So I washed that.
They all obediently waited until I told them, 「Okay, everyone in the bath!」
「Wuff」

「PiGGi」
「ryaa」
So they all happily got in.
I watched them, and then washed myself off.
When I got in, I noticed Femm happily swimming in the bath.
「You like swimming, huh?」
『Feels good.』
「Moo moo」
「PiggGGi」
「ryaaa」
Shiggy was good at it too.
「Thanks for your hard work today, Moofy.」
『Welcome』
「What did you do at Chelnovillage?」
『Carry things.』
I bet she carried a lot.
It seems she also helped hunters with hunting out game.
『I think Chelvilage okay now.』
Chelnobok said.
「You think it can operate on its own from now on?」
『Pretty much』
That’s why the village finally took a name, I guess.
「Good to hear, but if you need anything...」
『Thanks...』
When spring begins, so does the farming.
Also, many believers will arrive from around the globe.
It’s going to be quite a season.
I guess there’s not much left to do this winter, then.
But I was happy to hear all the good news.
