[ditation]
"(Zabaa~! Zabasha~! Brrrr!)" Inhales deeply "Phew~!"
I erged from the salt sauna. Without realizing it, an hour and a half had passed. That would be enough to kill soone. Good kids should never try to imitate it.
Leaving the salt sauna, I rinsed off the slimy mixture of sweat and dissolved salt with a wooden bucket from the water pot flavored with a hint of waterlon. Ahh, I feel refreshed. The unpleasant and uneasy aura I had experienced in the dungeon had completely disappeared.
"But if I continue like this, I might suffer from dehydration."
However, this super public bath has a wonderful oasis. It's a cold water dispenser, installed at the entrance of the bathing area for tis like these. I gulp down water from the dispenser and then relax on one of the reclining chairs lined up outdoors, allowing the natural heat to dissipation.
(Ahh~ It feels so good.)
Despite basking in the scorching sumr sun, the gentle breeze passing through feels incredibly pleasant.
Moreover, lazing around in the super public bath on a weekday afternoon is pure bliss. I'm not born into a wealthy family, so I can't imagine a greater luxury.
The burning sensation of the sun on my skin is soothing, and the coolness of the wind soothes the heat radiating from my body.
(But, what was that earlier?)
I try to recall the impact I felt during the salt ditation in the sauna, but the mories are hazy. Vivid yet dreamlike. Was it real or was it just a dream?
However, while pondering over such matters, I shift my focus to my stats and realize that I have gained a new skill.

Title:
[Bug King]
ditation, I had acquired the skill [ditation]. Through salt ditation, I gained it. I've always had a deep interest in spiritual matters. But I never really took the ti to ditate. The daily grind of work and everyday life kept busy, and I never even considered slowing down to ditate. It was rely a coincidence that my recent lifestyle change led to incorporate ditation.
Nevertheless, I'm grateful.
ditation is sothing that strong characters do daily to maintain their condition at a high level.
If I can incorporate it into my routine, it'd be wonderful. The exact effects are still unknown, but I expect it to be good.
Anyway, I left the bath. I spent too much ti, an hour and a half, in the salt sauna. I would quickly settle the bill and leave, but this ti I decided to take a break on the sofa while enjoying a drink.
The entrance to the n's and won's baths in this super public bath faces each other, and in the middle, there is a counter selling drinks and ice cream.
If I'm alone, I wouldn't use it. But today is an exception. They had a lineup of juices that claid to be good for beauty and health, so I chose a blueberry-based fruit mix juice that was gentle on the eyes and quenched my thirst.
(Now, I'm looking forward to it. I wonder what kind of skill [ditation] is. I hope it's a healing skill.)
As I was thinking about that while relaxing on the sofa
"Oh?"
A woman passing by behind suddenly spoke, directing her voice toward .
Moreover, I recognized that voice, so I imdiately reacted and turned around.
"Hm?"
"Hello, are you alone today?"
Twisting my body and turning to face the woman behind , I saw a staff mber from a massage parlor holding so luggage, looking down at .
"Oh, thank you. Yes, I'm alone today."
I answered the question with a greeting, even though it didn't matter.
It was more like a social exchange that naturally ca out of my mouth, honed during my salaryman days.
"Oh, in that case How about getting a massage today as well?"
The staff mber leaned forward, trying to make a sales pitch.
"Hmm, I wonder"
I want to go ho quickly and research [ditation].
"Oh, oh! If you don't have much ti, we have a quick course! It's only 20 minutes, so it's fast! I'm in charge now, and you can do it without waiting! So, how about it!?"
The pressure from the staff mber was strong.
But, I don't dislike this kind of assertive staff mber.
She had a head of dirty blonde hair that made her look trendy at first glance, but her work seed ticulous and carried the deanor of a skilled artisan. Maybe she approached just because she was enthusiastic about sales, but she also could stir the heart of a guy who's usually alone. It's not the sa as having a companion. Well, maybe it's different.
After all, we're just going downstairs.
..
"All right, please have a seat here."
In front of , as I was guided into the massage parlor, so chairs looked like fitness equipnt. Hmm, so this is where I sit.
"Like this?"
"Yes, please lean forward and place your face here"
For the quick 20-minute massage, I would sit in this chair-like fitness equipnt and have my shoulders and back massaged. I sit on the seat and lean my body against the cushion that supports my arms and chest. My face also rests on a cushion but gets covered with a paper sheet for hygiene purposes.
"Oh, I see. She has this kind of setup too"
I'm receiving a massage while sitting. It feels much more comfortable than sitting upright since I can lean back on the chair. As I enjoy the comfortable seating of the massage chair, I suddenly feel a warm sensation on my back.
"(Hishii Fuyon Gyuuhhhh Guri guri guri)"
(Is this!?)
No, don't be fooled, . The person behind is a professional massage therapist. Even though it feels like she's hugging my back, there must be so purpose behind it.
(Hah! I see!!)
I understand now! She truly is a professional massage therapist. It seems that this staff mber is also a skilled user of chakra. Well, she works as a masseuse, so it's not strange for her to be involved in yoga or similar practices. It's probably my immaturity that I couldn't recognize that from her great physique.
Without knowing this, I'm getting embraced from behind. I couldn't help but feel a little excited. How embarrassing.
"(Kunka kunka Suu~ Haaah Ah, sturdy)"
(Mmm So unique breathing techniques!?)
I see. Yoga ans "connection" in Sanskrit. By pressing her forehead against my back and bringing us into close contact with the sixth chakra, Ajna, located in the forehead, and not hesitating to make direct contact with the fourth chakra, Anahata, the heart chakra located in the chest, she can intuitively sense the condition of the target and perform a pre-treatnt examination.
"That's amazing."
"Haa It's amazing (Haa haa)."
As I thought. Hah! Could it be? Usually, the staff mber from the massage parlor is on the first floor, but today, just today, she was on the second floor. Perhaps she sensed my burst of chakra from the salt ditation, Salt ditation, in so way and ca to investigate the cause. Oh, she's incredible, that staff mber. Who knew she was such an amazing chakra user?
"Haa haa Well, then I will start the treatnt now (Gyuuhhh!)."
Whoa, she's here! An imdiate attack on my shoulder pressure points. Her four slender fingers grip my trapezius muscle, and her thumb digs deep into the pressure point between my shoulder blades. Moreover, it seems the staff is concentrating on using her body weight for the acupressure technique, as her chest is pressed tightly against my back, rubbing against it, completely unaware.
(Suri suri surii Kosu kosu kosuu)
Uh Along with the stimulation of the massage, I can feel the sensation of her chest. And to make matters worse, lately, I've been giving Sera rides on my bike a lot, so my sensitivity in the back area has increased rapidly.
"Haa haa haa (Gyuuhhh!)"
Ah, what a pathetic guy I am. Despite the staff mber doing her best to massage , even though she's breathing heavily, all I can think about are lewd things.
"Haa haa By the way, what happened to the usual companions you bring with you?"
"Oh, we're going on a trip to the beach in Izu over the weekend. Today, we had a eting about that"
"A beach trip!? (Thump!)"
It seems like the staff mber has latched onto the beach topic.
"Huh? Well, they wanted to enjoy their last sumr, so they insisted"
"Wait, wait a mont! I-I know a lot about Izu!"
Saying that the staff mber left sitting in the chair and hurriedly left the area. But after about 2-3 minutes, she returned and told about a recomnded beach in Izu. She's going above and beyond, this staff mber. She's so custor-oriented.
Today's massage felt really good. My impure thoughts got in the way, so I couldn't fully appreciate her techniques. That was a loss.
"Here you go This is your mbership card. When you visit here, please drop by our place too, Ezuki-san."
She recomnded I create a mbership card since I'd use her services frequently. The staff mber handed the massage parlor's mbership card, holding my hand as she did so. It seems that this staff mber, just like Serai-san, is skilled in friendly touches.
If I weren't used to Serai-san, I would have misunderstood it and thought, "Could this woman be interested in ?" It's so botherso.
