J's impressive presence appeared before Chen Hai, asking for a communal bath.
He wasn't surprised, but instead asked,
"Is it because of what I said before? When you and Takagi asked me for help together."
"Yes, yes, I believe Chen Hai-kun also took risks to help us! So I want to repay you! Besides scrubbing your back... I can also give you a massage! I learned a lot of massage techniques to be a good health teacher! It's just that I've never had a chance to use them!"
As she spoke, Shizuka Marikawa even showed a dejected expression.
Chen Hai recalled her previous words, 'I'll do anything,' when she and Saya Takagi bowed their heads and pleaded with him.
It seemed Shizuka Marikawa was indeed a person who kept her promises.
"I do have a plan to take a bath..."
"Then it's perfect! Let me show you the health teacher's massage-style back scrub!!"
"This is the first I've heard of it."
"Please look forward to it!"
Shizuka Marikawa was full of confidence, believing she could satisfy Chen Hai one hundred percent.
What kind of technique did she have?
Chen Hai decided to experience it.
"Excuse me!"
Since the VIP room was equipped with a bathroom, Shizuka Marikawa entered the room.
Seeing this, Chen Hai casually found a fresh bathrobe in the closet.
At the same time, Shizuka Marikawa had already run to the washroom. She took off her ruffled ladies' shirt and OL skirt, wrapping herself in a towel.
How to put it... she looked like a technician.
Chen Hai walked to the washroom connected to the bathroom, and before he could speak, he heard Shizuka Marikawa's question.
"In Orario, can ordinary people also live well?"
"Why do you ask?"
Chen Hai opened the bathroom door; inside were bathroom facilities made of magic stones.
Shizuka Marikawa, who was asked in return, walked up to Chen Hai.
"I'll put your clothes away for you."
"Uh... thank you."
Chen Hai took off his jacket and handed it over.
"Regarding what we just talked about, I'm just curious about the lives of ordinary people in this world... because not everyone is as amazing as Chen Hai-kun, right? A few days ago, when I was cleaning medicines in the school infirmary, I met a few girls who were being bullied, and I couldn't help them either."
On this topic, Shizuka Marikawa seemed very serious.
She was the same in the original work.
Normally, she appeared clumsy and slow with a natural airhead personality, but once a crisis hit, she could quickly switch to a professional physician state.
And now, Shizuka Marikawa was worried about her future and that of her students and their mothers.
"Don't worry, in 'Orario,' you won't encounter the problems you're concerned about."
Darkness existed in Orario.
But there were also 'innumerable possibilities'.
People joined Familias and became strong;
People explored Dungeons and harvested treasures.
If they didn't have this strength, there were other professions to choose from.
The world of is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon? was free.
So Chen Hai was quite happy after transmigrating.
"I wonder what we can do here..."
"As for you... perhaps you could try joining the medical clinic of the Adventurers' Guild."
"Work in treatment? I'd be happy to!"
Shizuka Marikawa, who didn't want to be idle, didn't dislike work.
"Ah, Chen Hai-kun, give me your other clothes too."
"..."
Chen Hai switched to showering mode.
"Speaking of which, why were you willing to save us when we had just met?"
"Because I didn't want to pretend I hadn't seen anything, so I did what I could."
"You're very gentle."
Kind?
After listening, Chen Hai grabbed Shizuka Marikawa's arm, watching the giant object named 'J' gently sway.
"Let me show you another kind of gentleness."
"Eh?! Why do I feel like Chen Hai-kun is so naughty now!"
Before Shizuka Marikawa could finish speaking, Chen Hai pulled her and closed the bathroom door.

——
Adventurers' Guild, west side of the second floor of the mansion specifically for guests to rest and reside.
The Takagi Mother and Daughter began to unpack their luggage, taking out the contents of their boxes one by one.
Looking at the documents spread across the table, Yuriko Takagi gave a wry smile.
"These things don't seem to be of much use to me... this world probably doesn't need so-called Wall Street business elites, does it?"
Compared to these things, it would have been better to bring a few more of her favorite clothes back then.
Hearing her mother say that, Saya Takagi walked over to her side.
"That's not necessarily true. Miss Misha, who brought us here, just said, 'There are too many transactions recently; I need to go back to work immediately,' which proves that the economic circulation in this city must be very frequent."
"You even understand these things."
"I learned it all from Mother."
Saya Takagi smiled, ran to a nearby window, opened it, and then poured two cups of tea.
The mother and daughter prepared to rest.
They went to the window together, holding their teacups, and looked outside.
Outside was the mansion's courtyard, where a sharp-eared staff member was currently pruning flowers and plants.
"Is that an elf?"
Yuriko Takagi gradually accepted this Another World (Otherworld) setting.
Without answering that question, Saya Takagi instead started a new topic:
"Before meeting Mother, I asked Chen Hai-kun for help."
"So that's why you both came to find me together?"
"Yes, if he hadn't agreed, it probably would have just been Teacher Marikawa and me."
"Then we must thank Chen Hai-kun properly."
"I did say... Before coming, I said, 'I'm willing to do anything,' so... should I keep my promise?"
"You child..."
Hearing her daughter's words, Yuriko Takagi hugged her tightly.
"Thank you..."
"No need to thank me, Mother. This is what I should do, but... I don't know what to do next."
"I think Chen Hai-kun is very good too. His face is my type."
"Huh? Why are you suddenly saying that?"
"Is that so? Although I, your mother, don't have real experience like you, my knowledge is dozens of times yours."
I can't believe Mother has this side to her... Could it be that she's been watching those videos all along?
Saya Takagi took a deep breath at this thought.
"What kind of knowledge is that?"
The young girl felt curious.
She also wanted to prepare for an uncertain future.
At her daughter's question, Yuriko Takagi laughed.
"Then I'll guide you."
Since they had come to an Another World (Otherworld), they needed to grow quickly in all aspects.
