Even after the incident that made his mother Olivia cry, Leolde trained with Gilbert and Barbaroto for a while.

After sweating profusely, he decided to go to the bathhouse in the duke's mansion to  remove  sweat.

"It's been a while since we' bathed together ."

"Huh?

Even Leoldo reacted with a firm refusal to this  line .

"I can understand if  i was a child, but I am already 16 years old!　I'm  can't  go in with , you "!

"But I would like to wash your back for the first time in a long time, can't I?

"No!　This is going without questions !"

"Please, Leolde!　i won't taking my clothes off, okay?

"No,  I can di anything for you  but this !"

"So ...... I understand. I'll give up for today if that's what you want."

(Today, you mean you're going to come back tomorrow to do it? )

Olivia inwardly tweets at him, and he sighs from exhaustion.

In order to relieve his fatigue, he decided to take a bath as soon as possible, and followed the servant in a daze.

When he arrived at the dressing room, he quickly took off his clothes and walked into the spacious bathing room of the Duke's house . The ancient Roman-style baths that he had seen in video games brought back his childhood memories.

(Oops, no. I'm tempted to get excited, but I have to wash my body first!)

As he was about to wash his sticky body, someone came into the bathroom. . He turned his head to see who it was, but couldn't make out the steam.

"I'm here to wash your back.

"Oh?　Is that Isabell? I don't need it, I can do it by myself. Just go  back ."

"That's not going to happen, so if  please excuse me."

"If it's because of work or something like that, don't worry about it. I want to take a bath by myself. So get out of here."

Leolde coldly shunned Isabel, who was already right behind  him. However, Isabelle also refutes his request to go back .

"So can you at least let me  wash your back?"

"You know, ......, I said it's fine.

"I'm begging you. I'll wash your back and then I'll leave."

"Huh. ...... Okay. Just my back, please."

"Yes!"

Leolde, who was tired of repeating the same  thing  over and over again, allowed  her to wash only  his back.  He was taken aback by Isabelle's joy.

(Why you so haapy about it ? ......)

In order to get the job done quickly, Leolde  started to wash his head and let Isabelle take care of his back. When he realized that his back was sore and his fingernails had hit it, he shouted at Isabelle.

"You wanted to do this just  for  harass me like this?

"I'm sorry, Leorde. I messed up a little."

"What, Mother?"

Leolde  runs away without a second  OF thought, but in his haste, he somehow steps on a piece of soap that had fallen and falls down spectacularly. Unfortunately, he hit his head and lost consciousness. The last thing he heard was Olivia's scream.

When he woke up, Leolde jumped up with great force. Before he knew it, he was asleep in his bed in his private room. Of course, he remembered everything.

Perhaps Olivia had taken advantage of Isabell to assault him while he was bathing. And then Isabel talks and Olivia does it. It would not have been surprising if she had noticed the footsteps, but that is where Isabell matched Olivia. Olivia's plan was successfully accomplished, although she was in the wrong place to  do it .

But in the end, Olivia failed. While washing her beloved son's back for the first time in a long time, she scratched her nails. The pain made it all too obvious to Leoldo, who looked back at her.

However, Leolde was more startled, and when he backed away, he stepped on the soap, which caused him to fall and hit the  head so hard that he lost consciousness.

That was as far as Leold4  remembered. However, only Olivia and Isabel know what happened after that .

Isabel heard Olivia's scream and came back to the bathroom, where she saw Leolde lying on the floor, with Olivia holding him.

Isabel doesn't know what happened, but she guesses that Leolde must have been startled when he noticed Olivia and fell down. That's a good guess. 

First of all, Isabel ran to Olivia and the unconscious Leolde to check the situation.

"What happened?"

"Leolde was startled by me, and when he ran away, he stepped on the soap and fell. He hit his head pretty hard. .....".

"Hmm. ......""

Isabel reassured Olivia by confirming that Leolde was alive.

Don't worry. Master Leolde is alive, so you don't need to worry about anything. Let's wash him first. After that, let's get  him dressed and take  him to bed.

"That's a good idea!"

This was unbearable for a boy of his age. Before he knew it, his body was being washed and he was even being changed. In other words, he was being watched all over.

When Leolde learned this fact, he buried her face in pillow and roared like a beast.

"UUUUGH!!　Kill me  kill me!"

Olivia, by the way, was pleased with how much LeoLde had grown.

l"You've grown up so well, Leolde."

Later, when Isabelle told him  what happened , he  felt empty .
