Closer than Master and Subordinate

Inside of the mountain town was something a bit unexpected for Hikari. There were several wooden cabins, and one of the larger ones was actually a hot spring! She looked back at the two sisters riding in the rear.

"Have you two ever been to a hot spring?"

"No?"

"No, at least not a natural one."

Hikari smiled at the two girls. "Well, I suppose it would be a good idea to stay here for the night." The elf remembered that her homeland on Earth was full of hot springs, and their culture revolved around it. Not liking hot springs and being Japanese was an even bigger heresy than what that demon was trying to do.

As they parked their chariot near the stables, the horses drew plenty of attention, but Hikari didn't care about that. She grabbed onto Kurayami's hand tightly and hurried towards the door. "Let's go!"

"Master is so cute like this."
