"Then, let's help clear the stuff."
And with that, Kamijou and Index walked towards the items.
Orsola's house had quite a few rooms, thus everyone was gathered in the same room, sorting out the items that were to be disposed of, and keeping those that were to be moved in boxes. After completing those, they then moved out the heavy furniture like cupboards and the bed, before cleaning the room up and heading to the next one. Orsola and the Amakusa seemed to have finished cleaning 1 or 2 rooms already.
Anyway, Kamijou and company decided to start from the living room. Kamijou wrapped the utensils with newspaper before moving the chairs and table to an outside caravan. The auntie driving the caravan seemed to be an Amakusa member as well.
This work continued to proceed for an hour.
"Wa, Touma, my nun's habit is extremely dirty!"
Index said this as she continued to battle against the pile of dust from the bookcase. Hearing her say this, Kamijou blankly responded,
"Didn't I say that moving houses would make you dirty?"
"Oh my, you did say it before," Orsola said.
Hearing this voice coming from beside, Kamijou turned around to look. Orsola was patting away the dust on her nun's habit around her breasts. Of course, that caused a certain body part to jiggle about. Kamijou immediately turned away. Index glared at Orsola, indicating 'please don't add on to the commotion when you're doing this.'
Orsola looked like she didn't notice it, and said,
"For how long were you on the plane to get here? You should be more mindful of it. How about you take a shower?"
While Orsola was saying this happily, a huge pile of dust fell from the lampshade onto her, like a black cap sticking on her head.
Orsola continued to smile,
"Come on, Miss Index, the bathroom's this way."
"OI!! THE ONE MOST AFFECTED BY THE DUST IS YOU!!"
"Really?" Orsola tilted her head in a cute manner. The huge amount of dust settled on Orsola's head as she tried to shake it off. She grabbed Index's shoulder from behind, saying.
"Anyway, Miss Index first. Eh, also, the blowdryer's over there."
"What's a 'blowdryer'?"
Hearing their words as they left, Kamijou let his shoulders drop, saying,
"Ah, right. Orsola~ where's the newspaper stack?"
"Over here, no."
He could hear Orsola's voice from outside. With a slam, the sound of a door being locked could be heard.
…So girls are really mindful of sweat and dust, huh?
Kamijou carried the thought that if he was to try and confirm this, he would get bitten, and returned to cleaning and tidying the room. He sealed the boxes with tape, and then shifted them to the door. He used the newspaper as a buffer material by using it to wrap a mural, and put it inside a box.
Then,
"Eh?"
At this moment, Kamijou let out a surprised sound. He just so happened to finish up the newspapers.
Though I don't know the value of this mural, it sure looks expensive…if I leave it on the floor, it'll be bad if someone steps on it…
Kamijou let the mop lean on the wall and looked around. He remembered that Orsola said there was an extra stack of newspapers behind the door.
However, upon opening the door, it was not a room, but a short corridor. Two similar white doors were arranged on both sides of the room.
Which is the room? However, I should be able to know by going in.
Without thinking further, Kamijou grabbed the handle. Suddenly, a sound could be heard from inside,
"Hmmmm~hmmmm~."
Such a delighted humming voice, and the sound of rain.
This singing and water means…
Kamijou immediately froze,
Is it the bathroom… Argh, that was dangerous!? Is this the trap called the bathroom!? It's, it's a dangerous place. And I would end up getting bitten!!
Kamijou gently exhaled, then released the handle of the door. By process of elimination, the other door must be where Orsola had prepared the newspapers.
But,
"Hm~hmmmm~hm~hmmm."
There's another voice here? What is this! There's no signboard to designate the bathroom…hm? Italian bathroom?
In this confusing circumstance, the female's unguarded humming made Kamijou's heart pound, but he continued to think calmly. Assuming neither of them were bathrooms, since Orsola had said that "the newspapers are here", then both of them should be normal rooms. Maybe both doors led to the same room?
If so,
Since the wall is thinner here, I can hear the sound from the bathroom on both sides…? One is the bathroom, the other isn't. Damn it, what's going on here!?
Kamijou cautiously listened to the voice and pondered,
Right? No. Left? No. This… is the left. I can hear humming and water from the left, but I can only hear humming from the right door! In other words, the real source of the sound is from the left side, and since the right side is further, the water can't be heard, so I can only hear the humming! Alright, this Kamijou won't just end up seeing other people's naked bodies all the time!
"I got it!"
Kamijou, relying on his ears and with absolute confidence, opened the right door.
What was in front of him was a steamy bath.
"Eh?"
Of course, the one making this surprised sound was Orsola Aquinas. She was pulling away the curtain, reaching out for the bottle of shampoo. With the warm water sputtering out of the showerhead, he could clearly see her huge breasts that were normally covered by her nun's habit. He saw them.
"W…WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! THIS IS THE BATHROOM!!!? AND THE SHOWERHEAD IS STILL ON! Sorry, Orsola, but I did hear that the left side is the dangerous one…!!"
In a confused state, Kamijou forgot to close the door as he escaped to the left door.
Over there.
At this moment, he could hear the sound of the blow dryer motor running.
At the same time,
"WAAAAAAAAAHH!!!? WHY IS HOT AIR BLOWING OUT OF THIS WEIRD HANDLE…!!!"
BOOM! With that, the left side door was opened from the inside, as a naked Index walked out. There was no point in just holding a towel with one hand. Her slightly red skin didn't seem to be wiped clean by the towel. She moved her limbs, causing the water droplets to fly off her skin. Her long hair was coated with water vapor, sticking tightly to her runway-like chest.
Before seeing this, it has to be noted that beyond the left side door was another bathroom.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Kamijou was speechless.
"THE RIGHT SIDE IS THE BATHROOM, THE LEFT SIDE IS ALSO A BATHROOOOOOM!?!?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! THIS IS JUST HELL WAITING FOR ME ON BOTH SIDES!!!! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!!! WHY ARE THERE TWO BATHROOMS IN THIS HOUSE!?!?!?"
On realizing that he had nowhere to run, Kamijou collapsed onto the ground. Of course, Orsola was embarrassed as well, covering her body with the translucent plastic curtain, her body backing away slightly.
"Eh, St Barbara promoted the ritual of turning a bathroom into a baptism pool. So one is used for everyday life, the other is used for religious rituals. But since I'm moving house today, I removed the function of it being a baptism pool to use it as a bathroom."
"IS IT ANOTHER MAGICAL TERM THAT'S NOT SCIENTIFIC!?!? I'VE HAD ENOUGH!!!!!"
Kamijou slammed hard onto the floor as he roars.
At this moment,
"…Come to think of it, why is Touma here?"
In contrast to Kamijou, who was prone on the ground, Index was carefully wrapping her body up with a towel.
"Ha?"
"…And then why didn't you apologise for seeing other people's naked bodies?"
"No, it's not that, Index. I, Kamijou Touma, saw a mural which wasn't wrapped completely in the room just now. I heard that the newspapers meant to absorb the impact were here, so…eh? Orsola, where's the newspaper? Any ordinary person wouldn't put the newspapers inside the bathroom, right!?"
"Eh, it's not in the room, but at the corridor."
"GACK…!? Damn it, it's just placed in the corridor! Damn it, why didn't you notice it, KAMIJOU TOUMA!? This wouldn't have happened…"
Saying nonsense to himself, Kamijou suddenly noticed that Index's temples were twitching unnaturally.
"SAY, SO—WHY—IS TOUMA PUTTING MY NAKED BODY AS A LOW PRIORITY HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH!?!?!?"
"GGGGGGGGGGYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I FEEL THAT TODAY'S INDEX IS TWICE AS TERRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFYYYYYYYYYYIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG!!!!"
Kamijou Touma had encountered the intimacy of the teeth twice already in this foreign land. He just hoped that Orsola didn't think that this was a weird Japanese traditional culture.
