As a traitor, I should raise the banner of rebellion

"Please rest there for the night, and let me show my hospitality as a host."

In these few short days, Kujo Rin has already taken control of all the power of the Kujo family.

Although this was inseparable from the help of Grandpa Kujo Masao and Tamamonomae, it also made this originally silly and cute eldest daughter gradually show a bit of dignity, and she looked like the head of the family.

"Oh." Cellini glanced at the building halfway up the mountain and did not reject Kujo Rin's proposal.

The matter of the Jade-faced Golden-haired Nine-tailed Fox concerns the lives of the entire Kujo family. And at present, only she, Celini Bordello, can save the Kujo family.

In this case, Kujo Rin's humble and flattering attitude is inevitable.

In fact, she has long been accustomed to others treating her with this attitude.

As for the possibility that Kujo Rin was deceiving her, even if that was the case, Celini didn't really care.

If Kujo Rin was really so ungrateful, after killing the [Jade-faced, Golden-haired Nine-tailed Fox], she wouldn't mind spending a little more effort and making the Kujo family pay the price.

"However, because of the Killing Stone, all vehicles will malfunction for unknown reasons after entering this mountain."

"Just like the emperors of ancient times did not allow their subjects to come to see him in carriages, the dead fox demon obviously also thought this was disrespectful."

Kujo Rin said with a slightly apologetic tone.

"So, next we may need to hike to the hot spring hotel halfway up the mountain."

Upon hearing this, Cellini Bordeaux couldn't help but frown slightly.

Although the road was not long, she was not very confident in her physical strength.

[The City of Rome and the World] is the ability to change the world, but this change is not without any limitations.

For example, Cellini cannot make any changes that would modify her physical condition, or more precisely, any changes that would affect the blood volume in her body.

This is actually easy to understand.

The activation of [Rome City and the World] requires the blood of Cellini herself as the price.

If it could in turn affect Cellini's blood volume, then this limitation would be almost non-existent.

[Cheline Bordeaux's blood capacity is unlimited].

In this case, it would naturally be impossible to achieve it even if you gave all your blood.

But as long as you don't aim so high at the beginning, but add it little by little.

Or, change this wish to [Celini Bordeaux's blood volume will become 1.001 times the previous day every day].

Well, in the case of exponential stacking, it can also become a scary number after a few years.

The rules of this world do not allow such loopholes to occur.

However, statements like "Celini Bordeaux's physical fitness is several times that of normal people" cannot be achieved by "the city of Rome and the world" because it also affects blood volume.

and so……

Celini grabbed Genki's sleeve.

"When I can't walk anymore, you have to carry me."

She ordered.

But before Yuanhui could respond, Celini suddenly heard a sound of gnashing teeth in hatred.

She looked in the direction of the voice with some confusion and saw the smiling face of Kujo Rin.

"What can I do for you, Miss Cellini?" she asked in surprise.

"No, it's nothing."

Cellini turned back again.

It must be an illusion.

She thought so.

……

……

Cellini's physical strength only lasted for about half of the journey.

After that, she naturally lay on Yuanhui's back.

Yuan Hui didn't care about it.

After being transformed by the Silver-haired Dragon Girl, his physical fitness has approached the peak of his previous life.

At that time, it was normal for him to run cross-country with weights every day.

Cellini probably weighed less than 50 kilograms, and she lay quietly on his back without moving or shaking.

For Yuanhui, this is not even a burden.

If such a small price can get Cherini to fight against the [Jade-faced, Golden-haired Nine-tailed Fox], then it is certainly worth it.

By the way, Sharan did not come along.

Although she looked down upon the Jade-faced, Golden-haired Nine-tailed Fox on the surface, Chelini still remained cautious towards her.

If possible, she didn't even want to bring Yuan Hui with her, and was prepared to face this country-destroying monster alone.

But for [Blood Field], a monster of the level of [Jade-faced Golden-haired Nine-tailed Fox] is a tonic that can be ignored.

It was with this in mind that Celini reluctantly allowed Yuanhui to accompany her here.

Of course, Kujo Rin, or the Tamamonomae inside Kujo Rin, obviously didn't think so.

Now, she should be biting her handkerchief unwillingly, right?

During these few days, Celini and Yuanhui were almost inseparable.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, she has not appeared in front of Yuanhui for almost 4 days.

For this fox who was born for love, these four days might have seemed as long as four years or even 4 years.

And now, she even had to watch Yuanhui and Celini "show their affection" silently.

Although she knew that neither Celini nor Yuanhui had that intention, but!

She still felt a little green on her head.

After walking for about twenty minutes with Cellini on their backs, the three of them arrived in front of the hot spring hotel.

After walking through the gate, I saw a sign that said "Foot Bath".

Under that sign, there is a pond of medium size.

Milky white hot spring water flows in it.

Obviously considering the hardships of the journey, the Kujo family set up a foot bath here for guests to soak their feet and relieve fatigue.

Cellini's eyes lit up.

But when he saw the hot steam rising from the milky white spring water, a hint of hesitation appeared on his little face.

"Are all hot springs so hot?" She lowered her voice next to Yuanhui's ear.

The hot air coming out of his mouth sprayed onto Yuanhui's ears.

"Almost." Yuanhui replied, "But it's more comfortable when it's warm."

"Would you like to try it first?"

Cellini hesitated for a moment, then, as if she had made up her mind, she stretched out her little feet.

"Take off your shoes for me."

There was no trace of embarrassment in her tone.

Yuanhui is her brother-in-law, a fellow apostle, and her slave.

From the very beginning, she never considered Yuanhui as an 'outsider'.

Yuanhui took off her shoes and socks, and rolled up her pants to her calves.

After he had done all this, Cellini jumped off his back like a civet cat.

The smooth and delicate little feet stepped on the cobblestones around the foot bath.

Next to the foot bath, there are stools for resting.

But when Yuanhui took off his shoes and socks, he found that Celini still hadn't put her little feet into the milky hot spring water.

She was still looking at the water hesitantly, like a kitten who hated taking a bath.

Are you so afraid of heat?

Yuanhui shook his head silently.

After a few days of contact, he had a certain understanding of Cellini's character.

To be honest, it's not that bad.

She is a typical spoiled young lady who has never experienced any setbacks since she was a child.

Actually, there are only a few people who can frustrate her who possesses [the city of Rome and the world] and [the crown of thorns].

For a young lady like this, if you want her to change her character, she must suffer a serious setback.

Preferably one that is unforgettable.

Yuan Hui actually already had some ideas about this matter, but before that...

Yuanhui reached his hand into the hot spring, scooped up a handful, and gently poured it on Celini's feet.

"hiss--"

Cellini gasped a little but didn't move away.

But those ten delicate toes seemed to be greatly frightened and curled up subconsciously.

[Crown of Thorns] did not activate and bounce away the water droplets.

As they spend time together day and night, the mystery of this ability is gradually revealed to Yuanhui.

This ability is not under Celini's control. Even when she is asleep or unconscious, the Crown of Thorns will protect Celini's safety.

However, it is limited to actions or rule attacks that are "harmful to Cellini".

An action like the one just now, which was completely out of "good intentions", would not cause any backlash from the [Crown of Thorns].

With the help of Yuanhui, Celini finally put her feet into the foot bath.

Apart from the initial few minutes of discomfort, her frown soon relaxed and she seemed to have begun to enjoy the warm feeling.

"I remember there are hot springs in Italy. Haven't you ever been there?" Yuanhui asked curiously.

"No." Cellini shook her head.

She didn't seem to want to explain the reason to Yuanhui, and just gently put her little head on the boy's shoulder.

During the whole process, she didn't even look at Kujo Rin.

It was obvious that Cellini did not take Miss Kujo seriously.

Fortunately, that's the case.

Otherwise, she would be able to see envy, jealousy and hatred written all over Kujo Rin's face.

At this moment, Tamamonomae seemed to have made some decision in her heart.

……

……

After leaving the Foot Bath, there is a path leading to the hot spring. Next to it are various flowers and plants that Yuanhui cannot name, but it is obvious that someone trims them regularly, so it looks very beautiful.

There are naturally separate baths for men and women here.

Although she didn't consider Yuanhui as an outsider, Cellini was obviously not yet at the point of taking a bath with him.

Cellini has short hair, so there is no need to tie it up.

After taking off her clothes, she took the towel and walked into the bathing room barefoot.

In order to emphasize the natural features, the bathing area is entirely made of stone. There are bushes and simple floor lamps between the stones.

It is surrounded by high bamboo fences.
