A Sweltering Eternal Getaway - Chapter 4: In the Dark of Night - Episode 1

Seofon and company are left exhausted from their special massage, while Tien, Tweyen, Silva, and Narmaya are feeling refreshed from their regular massage. As they enjoy a luxurious dinner, Lyria and the others tell Seox about the bath, piquing his curiosity. All of them spend the rest of the evening relaxing in their own way.

Mona: And that's it for the Spartan plan! Nice work, everyone!

Seofon: That was... crazy...

Feower: My body's still tingling...

Seox: What kind of torture was that...

Mona: You might be feeling just a little bit of pain right now, but tomorrow, I guarantee you'll wake up feeling refreshed!

Mona: I look forward to your next visit!

Seofon: Haha... Yes, if the opportunity presents itself...

Tweyen: Whew, that felt nice, didn't it?

Silva: I was a little worried when I heard electricity was going to run through the bath, but I actually like it.

Narmaya: They even gave us some skincare samples! Apparently they contain some sort of essence from the hot springs.

Tien: I've never put on any kind of skincare product before... I'm a little nervous to try.

Feower: Tien! You tried the electric massage?

Tien: Hm? Yeah, we tried the regular plan because slots for the Spartan plan were all full.

Seofon: Ah, how fortunate... If possible, I'd like to have gone with the regular plan too...

However, little does Seofon know that he will find himself waking up the very next morning with his body feeling light and more energized than ever.

Their bodies warmed up from the hot springs, the crew head to the hall for dinnertime.

When they arrive, they see a table in the room with individual meals lined up on it for each person.

Lyria: Munch, munch... Mmm, this is delicious!

Vyrn: Is this sweet, chewy thing some kinda potato? It's so good!

Threo: Aah! This purple water tastes great! I want another cup of this!

Tien: I was told it's grape juice. I finished my cup too, so why don't we go get some more together?

Narmaya: (Captain), it looks like your hotpot's ready! Shall I scoop some into a bowl for you?

Tweyen: Preparing a small hotpot for each person is a great idea! Mmm, the meat of the fish is so fluffy.

Silva: They've cut the vegetables into such beautiful shapes too. What a decorative and intricate dish...

Fif: Is this gonna be enough for you, Grampy? Do you want some of my fish?

Eahta: Young ones need their nourishment to grow. It appears they have prepared more servings of the main dish. You need not worry about me.

Anre: The grape juice Levin prides itself in is very rich. It suits these dishes so perfectly that I find myself taking a sip after every bite.

Seofon: Yeah.
Seox. Feower. Are the two of you eating properly? You can't be picky with your food, you hear?

Feower: I'm not a child. You can be sure that I'll eat everything that's been prepared for me.

Seox: ...

Niyon: Isn't the food lovely, (Captain)?

1. It's scrumptious.

Choose: It's scrumptious.

Niyon: You know, (Captain)... Today, I visited a place with something called the "fate binding rock."

Niyon: The view was incredible from up there. Would you like to go together tomorrow?

1. I'd like that!
2. I have to go back to the workshop.

Choose: I'd like that!

Niyon: I'm glad to hear. Then it's a promise.

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: I have to go back to the workshop.

Niyon: Ah, you have to pick up your thunder dome, don't you? We can go after that.

Niyon: There's a story behind the huge rock. I'd really like to go there once with you, (Captain)...

Continue 1

Narmaya: (Captain), I've scooped up some more ingredients from the hotpot for you! And I've deboned the fish so it's ready to eat!

Narmaya: Oh, looks like you got some food on yourself. Here, stay still. Let me wipe it for you.

Gran is the Main Character

Niyon: ...

Djeeta is the Main Character

Niyon: ...

As Narmaya wipes off the food from (Captain)'s face, Niyon leans in and puts an ear to the captain's back.

Vyrn: A meal after a nice soak in the hot springs sure is special! What was it like on your side, Lyria?

Lyria: Let's see... There was a bathtub made of stone in the shower room, and an open air bath outside!

Vyrn: Guess it's not too much different from our side then. The feeling of looking up at the sky from the hot spring's incredible!

Seox: (Looking up at the sky from the hot spring?)

Lyria: Definitely! The open air bath was so big you could swim in it! It was wonderful.

Seox: (A big open air bath...)

Seox: Was it really that nice?

Vyrn: You betcha! You should've joined us, Seox!

Lyria: We had some time to talk while in the bath, and we helped wash each other's backs too. It was really fun!

Vyrn: Somehow, soakin' in the same bath helps you open up to other people, doesn't it? It's pretty nice.

Lyria: The public bath is open until late, so why don't you try going later, Seox?

Seox: Yeah...

Threo: Nom, nom... Munch, munch...

Threo: Whew, that was delicious! Let's go play some table tennis, Fif!

Fif: Okay! Nom, nom... I'm done! I'm gonna go and play with Threo, Grampy!

Eahta: All right.

Tien: I think I'll go watch them play. What about you, Feower?

Feower: I'm going to head back to our room. The massage's gotten me a little sleepy.

Tweyen: Since we're done eating, maybe we should go back to our room. I hear the night view from the room window's beautiful!

Silva: That sounds great. We can enjoy the view over some tea.

Seofon: Niyon, Anre and I are thinking of going to the souvenir shop to take a look. Would you want to come with us?

Niyon: No thanks. I already took a look earlier today.

Seofon: Oof, did I just get rejected? It sure is hard to get everyone to spend some time together.

Anre: Even more so when spending quality time is not something mandatory. But all of us are creating memories in the same place—that's still worthwhile, wouldn't you say?

Seofon: Yeah, you're right.

Having finished with their meal, (Captain) and company spend the rest of the evening in their respective ways.

The merriment in the hot spring district of Levin continues long into the night.
