I have Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat but I Can not Seem to Get out of Being Jobless-Chapter 368

Chapter 368

(368) Steam Intimidator

Translator: Tseirp

After my training with Haru, I decided to wash away my sweat in the open-air bath .

I didn’t feel any charm even though I was entering an open-air bath .

Perhaps because there was no snow? I tried releasing magic into the air .

I’ll make it a snow viewing open-air bath .

“Diamond Dust!”

A fine ice storm rolled over the sky .

The ice was blown up and I wondered if they would float in the air for some time but then they fell due to gravity .

“Ah, this gives it charm … no, this is hail . ”

It hurt a little . It didn’t become snow .

While I was thinking about how what I did was dumb, I noticed a presence in the changing room .

Which homunculus was it?

I have given them plenty of magical power replenishment but Neete would still come to the male bath to tease me even if her magical power was sufficient .

Lately, I have become a little accustomed to seeing Neete naked but I still couldn’t stay calm after all .

It was about time I reprimand her for it .

She entered the bath area from the changing room .

I turned around –

“Hey you, it’s about time –”

My words to reprimand her cut off .

Since it was not Neete .

“Why is there hail?”

It was Flute who came in .

Without a single thread on her .

“This is the men’s bath! The women’s bath is next door!”

“I know . I did something bad to you so I came to wash your back … it’s cold . ”

“I-I see … but it’s cold right now so enter first . ”

“I’ll enter so don’t look at me so intently . ”

“So-sorry . ”

I quickly turned around .

Now that I think about it, this was the first time I experienced this .

Until now, the people who entered the bath with me all held some affection toward me .

But Flute was different .

She came to wash my back as an apology .

I wouldn’t deny her of her good will –

I was in thought when I felt two soft sensations on my back – those were –

“Don’t raise your voice …”

Her arm wrapped around my neck .

I was completely caught off guard .

“May I know what are you planning to do?”

“Let me out of here . ”

“To do what?”

“To save my companions . My companions were dragged away by those church bastards . If I don’t help them – The guy who interrogated me said it . All my companions were taken to the church . They will be put on trial there and killed . ”

The guy who interrogated Flute … the soldier that was killed by Flute when she became the Evil Berserker .

She was speaking the truth .

The Devil race discovered through Blood Appraisal were all taken to the church .

And they would probably be put on trial and face the death sentence .

“Sorry but I can’t let you out of here . The Dark-Elves living here have finally obtained a peaceful home . There’s the possibility of you leaking the secret of them still being alive . I will not let them face danger once more . Furthermore, if others find out that you are still alive, it would put Suzuki in a bad spot for vouching that I had killed you . ”

I said and sighed before continuing .

“Moreover, sorry but with your attack stat, you can’t kill me even if you strangle me . You seem to be putting in quite an effort but I don’t feel any discomfort . ”

“Wha …”

Flute was upset and further strengthened her hold .

“Like I said, I don’t feel any discomfort . ”

I told Flute before . The attack stat of an Attonement-Seeker was not enough to kill anybody in My World .

Perhaps she thought that she could achieve something if she caught me off guard .

“Rather, every time you put strength into your arms and lean your body onto me, I can feel the sensation of your chest directly . ”

After I said that, Flute retreated by pushing away from me .

It looked like she was quite embarrassed to enter the bath completely naked .

The hail had stopped without me knowing .

“Haa, you’re there right?”

I called out .

I could only think of two people among those who would enter this bath who would calmly deal with the situation where I am being targeted .

Pionia and Neete . But Pionia would not make such sluggish behavior .

“Neete . ”

“You knew, master?”

“I could sense your presence . Furthermore, I did order one Homunculus to watch Flute at all times . ”

“Yes, we received the order . This time the opponent was master but it would be troubling if she targeted anyone else . ”

Then, Neete’s finger on her right hand transformed into a rope and tied up Flute .

I didn’t know she could transform that way too .

I wasn’t aware but it seemed like something that would be seen in a dream of some evil alien .

Flute obediently stood up and left the bath .

Then, when Flute stood in front of Neete, Neete struck her neck with a knife-hand .

Flute was made unconscious .

It felt like Neete was a little rough .

“Master, how should we dispose of this thing?”

“Let me see – How about we make her clean the toilets for a week?”

“Master is weak to women . I went through the trouble of acting like I caught a convict red-handed . Master should know the idiom ‘snake in one’s bosom’ . ”

I knew Neete was unhappy with watching silently when she tried to strangle me .

Well, I was fine in the end anyway .

“Weak huh . Well, it’s normal to want to go home if she was brought here . I kind of did kidnap her against her will . Moreover, she didn’t have any killing intent . Or rather, she was afraid that she would hurt me . ”

“Thought Trace?”

“I could tell even without using it . ”

After all, she was sticking to me .

I could directly sense her heartbeat .

When she was strangling me, she didn’t put in much strength but her heart was beating furiously .

In the first place, she eagerly wants to save her loved ones but she could not heartlessly kill me for the sake of her companions .

It seemed that she actually only wanted to intimidate me .

“Ah, you can tell Carol and Rarael about what happened just now but keep it a secret from Haru . ”

Even if she wasn’t serious, if Haru knew that she tried to kill me, next time Haru might kill Flute .

“I know . But let me limit her movements . I will observe her for a while . It may be impossible for her alone but it would be troublesome if the Dark Elves hear some strange rumors . ”

Would she form a resistance group from among the Dark Elves? I don’t know the detailed information of all the Dark Elves but there might be two or three among them who do not hold good feelings toward me .

But even if she spread bad rumors, there probably won’t be any resistance group forming .

Rarael upholds strict discipline after all .

“It doesn’t really matter . As long as she doesn’t try to harm the others . ”

I told Neete and the others what to do if Flute tried to kill anyone else .

I felt sorry for Flute but I had an obligation to protect everyone living here .

“Rather, everyone values me too much . It’s good to adjust the favourability I enjoy here a little . ”

“The favorability toward master will not waver at all . Master has done so much for everyone after all . In fact, if she is heard talking bad about Master, Flute would face opposition . ”

“I see –”

I looked at Neete as she took Flute away and asked her .

“Hey, Neete . If I wanted to help the other devil race taken to the church –”

“Please don’t try to do everything . You have to think of your domain . I beg of you . ”

“ … All right . ”

I replied and leaned against the rock of the open-air bath .

The air was that cold but my head could not cool down at all .
