Episode 184

92. I had a massage – 2

“Red Vera Aloe?”

She tilted her head.

Her mouth fell open as she thought about the Red Vera Aloe for a long time in silence.

I remembered it.

“That, that’s extinct?!”

Since humans disappeared, there have been many medicinal herbs that have become extinct.

Red Vera Aloe was one of them.

Unlike regular aloe, red vera aloe is a medicinal herb that was bred and cultivated by humans.

A delicate herb that can never grow in the harsh environment of nature, but can only grow in an environment created by humans.

That is why its medicinal properties are much better than those of regular aloe.

“You said you couldn’t even find the seeds… … ?!”

In the past, when humans disappeared, many people fought bloody wars to obtain the crops and herbs they grew.

In the process, many herbs were burned and lost or taken and used by others.

The same goes for Red Vera Aloe.

Red Vera Aloe is very useful for treating wounds and beautifying the skin.

Those who wanted to erase the deep scars left by their own circumstances realized that they could no longer obtain the Red Vera Aloe after the disappearance of humans, so they put in effort to obtain it.

Since then, it has been generally accepted that all remaining red vera aloe has been used up and is no longer available.

She also forgot about the Red Vera Aloe, thinking that she would no longer be able to save it after the humans disappeared.

I opened my eyes wide enough to pop out and looked at Lee Han.

I feel like checking out Red Vera Aloe right now.

“Let’s go to the greenhouse.”

Lee Han did not reject her desire.

As she walked after him, she couldn’t hide her excitement.

As soon as he entered the greenhouse, barely able to suppress his pounding heart, Bathory felt his legs give out.

In one corner of the large greenhouse, a red aloe plant was seen growing.

I remember.

Red Vera Aloe.

That was it.

“How on earth… … ?”

“Are you saying how I got the seeds? I got them the last time I went to the dungeon.”

One of the seeds I got from the dungeon I went to last time at the dragon’s suggestion was the seed of the Red Vera Aloe.

She couldn’t hide her confusion after hearing his explanation.

“Why do seeds come out of dungeons?”

“Is that so?”

What can I do if they don’t know?

The important thing was that she had the Red Vera Aloe right in front of her.

“Is it okay to use this?”

“Yes, it doesn’t matter.”

I could barely suppress my cheers.

Now, we can once again use herbs that were only found in the far reaches of our memories.

“Can I go wash up?! Huh?! Huh?!”

Her eyes sparkled as if she wanted to get a massage right away.

But Lee Han just shook his head.

“We’re going to take a bath later in the evening and then we’ll all get massages. How about joining us then?”

“Okay! Okay!”

There was no way Bathory could refuse that sweet offer.

Since they had decided to play in the cabin, Bathory decided to play properly.

She came out, removing her makeup and wearing Tree’s comfortable clothes, and headed to the back of the blacksmith shop with her cabin family.

What was there was a charcoal kiln.

Since the application of the technology of magic engineering, the use of charcoal in huts has greatly decreased.

But Lee Han did not get rid of the charcoal kiln.

Well-made charcoal was not only used for purification, but was also sent to friends throughout the forest.

And there was another reason for not getting rid of the charcoal kiln: for steaming.

“Whew… … It’s hot.”

The steam room, made using the heat from the charcoal kiln, was quite popular with those visiting the cabin.

There was no one who did not like the pleasure of cooling off in cold river water after sweating it out in a suffocatingly hot place.

“Ooh. Isn’t this cute?!”

Bathory, who saw Tree, Seria, and Hongryeon sitting in the corner of the sauna with towels on their heads, reached out his hand, saying he wanted to do it too.

Tree, who had made a double-headed towel in an instant with his deft hands, placed it over Bathory’s head.

“Ohhhh~!”

She smiled cheerfully as she examined her face here and there in the mirror.

I thought it was just an annoying gathering, but I never thought I could feel this much joy.

Her face hardened slightly at that moment.

It was because I saw a small scar on one side of his slender chin.

As I stared at the scars from the past that would not go away, I heard a voice.

“Oh. You have guests.”

The door to the sauna opened and a large group of people came in.

The people who greeted Tree, Hongryeon, and Seria briefly, as if they knew each other’s faces, sat down in the corner and naturally laid down.

“Do the people come here often?”

“I come here often in the winter.”

That was when.

The door opened and Lee Han came in.

Did he come to get a steam bath too?

Bathory, who had been puzzled, tilted his head at what he was holding in his hand.

It was a large barrel and egg made of bamboo.

“What is that?”

“Sikhye. It tastes good when you eat it at a jjimjilbang.”

One in front of each person.

Those who received the large bamboo bucket tipped it toward their mouths without saying who should drink it first.

Bathory also took her hand lightly.

A cool feeling ran through my fingers, as if trying to soothe the heat of the stuffy sauna.

“Can I drink this?”

“Yeah. I brought it for you to drink.”

Seria, who was sweating profusely, was holding the bamboo tube against her face to feel its coolness.

And then take a sip quietly.

A face that looks exhausted from the heat is revitalized.

Bathory, who thought it was very beautiful, took a sip of the shikhye like her and shivered.

‘Isn’t this criminal… …!?’

The pleasure of drinking frozen shikhye in a suffocatingly hot sauna is no joke.

She was shivering with joy, and as Hongryeon peeled the egg shell, she carefully grabbed one of the eggs.

“Huh? Why are the eggs this color?”

“That’s because it’s a baked egg.”

I dipped an egg in rock salt and put it in my mouth. I could taste the chewy yet rich taste of the egg.

When she took a sip of the shikhye, she thought it was more delicious than anything she had ever eaten.

“Is this difficult to make?”

“Lee Han just makes it roughly.”

“But he cooks other dishes in a hurry too. But when I see something so delicious, I think there must be some kind of secret.”

“I, I guess that’s how it would be for a master like you, Lee Han… … .”

“Oh… … That’s amazing.”

Bathory took another sip of shikhye while stirring the eggs.

While they were enjoying themselves like that, one of the Suin tribe members who had been lying in the corner went out.

While she was wondering if he had already finished steaming, he came right back.

In his hands he held a table and a small bag.

“what are you doing?”

“I’m going to do it. Are you going to do it too?”

Smiling brightly, Malsuin made room for me.

As she sat down next to him, Malsuin briefly explained the rules of the game.

“This looks fun!”

It was a simple rule so it wasn’t that difficult to learn.

As she cheered, smiles appeared on the faces of the Suin people.

“Ah! That was fun!”

I enjoyed playing Halli Galli in the sauna without even realizing that I was sweating profusely.

Although it was my first time meeting the Suin tribe, we could communicate and everyone had a cheerful atmosphere, so there was no awkwardness.

Since Tree, Hongryeon, and Seria were also friends, Bathory was happily discussing with them, and when he came out of the jjimjilbang, he was led into the bathroom by the three of them.

“Eeeeeeeee~! This is good!”

After enjoying a comfortable bath like you would find in Dwarven City, I felt very tired.

When she came out like that, the explanation came walking over.

“Just lie down here.”

“Huh? Why?”

Bathory lay on the floor, puzzled.

A soft warmth was radiating from the floor covered with fluffy fur.

Just when I felt like I was going to fall asleep at any moment, I felt a weight on Bathory’s back.

“What are you going to do??”

“I’m just giving you a massage.”

The explanation moved its fluffy legs on Bathory’s back.

I like the feeling of being pressed down.

Bathory opened his mouth without realizing it as he felt the fatigue that had been lingering in his body slowly disappear.

“Ugh. Ugh. Neck, neck area… … .”

“It’s very frozen here.”

“Eughhhhh… … .”

“Explanation. I’ll do it for you later. My shoulders are stiff these days.”

“Okay, I got it.”

When Hongryeon, who was sipping whiskey without even drying her wet hair properly, waved her hand, Seolhyun gave a vague answer.

Her request wasn’t particularly burdensome, as she explained that she personally gave massages to the cabin family whenever they were having a hard time.

“But why do your shoulders get stiff when you play all day?”

“Playing is also work.”

“Don’t you feel bad towards Lee Han for saying that?”

“Hey. With something like this.”

The sound of conversation in my ears was gradually dying down.

I’m sleepy.

I feel like my eyes will close at any moment.

Bathory did not refuse that desire.

“omg!”

When I woke up, Hongryeon and Seria were lying asleep next to me.

Oh my god.

How long has it been since I slept this comfortably?

I was experiencing things I could never have imagined while I was in the East.

‘hungry…….’

The eggs and shikhye I ate at the sauna earlier have already been completely digested.

She got up from her seat and cautiously went outside, the scent tickling her nose.

“Wow… … good… … .”

She walked as if possessed and stopped near the stove.

There, Lee Han was cooking something.

“What are you making?”

“I’m making curry.”

It’s a dish with plenty of large pieces of meat and various vegetables.

Although it was the first time she had heard of this dish, she was certain that it would be delicious.

“Tell everyone to come out.”

“huh.”

Tree, who had been helping Lee Han, went into the cabin, and soon after, the cabin family came out.

As they sit down, a plate is placed in front of each of them.

“It’s warm outside?”

“Thanks to the sun stone.”

The sunstones placed around the table helped to alleviate the chilly winter weather.

Thanks to that, Bathory felt warm and took a bite of the curry placed in front of him.

The rich aroma of spices, the spicy taste, and the chewy, well-cooked meat, potatoes, and ground pumpkin. The aftertaste was a deep sweetness that lingered in the mouth.

“This is my first time eating something like this.”

“Lee Han’s curry is delicious.”

“You guys. Are you really living in a blessed environment?”

Although Bathory was revered in the East and lived a life of luxury, she was able to speak confidently.

That this place is more enjoyable than the luxuries there.

The cabin family did not deny her envious remarks.

Because they felt it too.

After such a delightful meal, while the others went to wash the dishes, Lee Han approached them.

“Then shall we try a massage right away?”

“Yeah. What should I do?”

“The tree will do it. Just lie down.”

After going into the cabin and lying down comfortably and waiting for a while, the tree came in.

In her hand she held a glass bowl containing red vera aloe.

“You can just cut this and apply it to your skin.”

“Yeah, I got it.”

After hearing Lee Han’s simple explanation, Tree cut the red vera aloe.

The clear, moist gel inside flows out.

“Okay. I’ll fix it.”

Tree’s delicate hands caressed Bathory’s face.

The slightly rough skin begins to soak in the red vera aloe gel.

Bathory quite liked that stickiness.

“You can just lie down like this for about thirty minutes, then wash up and go to sleep.”

Face, arms, and legs.

Tree, who had applied aloe gel to all the exposed areas, called Seria and Hongryeon to use the remaining gel.

As they sat down next to him, Tree gave them another round of applause, and Bathory, who was watching, looked forward to tomorrow.

And the next day.

“… … This is no joke?!”

Bathory looked in the mirror and was shocked.

It was because my rough skin became as clear as a baby’s skin in just one day.

No, that’s not all.

The only blemish on her otherwise perfect beauty.

The small scar on his chin had completely disappeared.
