It was finally time for a round-table meeting in Maou-sama's Castle.
Usually, Alexius would still attend this meeting despite looking annoyed and grumbling the whole time but this time....
The red dragon was nowhere to be seen.
Everyone participating in the meeting was worried whether something had happened to Alexius.
"My bad, my bad. I came in late."
They were about to set up a search group for Alexius when he finally stepped into the meeting with his ever-so-carefree attitude.
"Alex, you are late."
Maou-sama reprimanded the oblivious red dragon.
"Sorry, I was doing a little bit of something."
Maou-sama stared at Alexius, he looked strangely glowing for some reason.
When Maou-sama took a closer look, he could see a little puff of steam coming out from the dragon's body.
Out of curiosity, Maou-sama asked.
"Were you taking a bath before coming here?"
"Ah, yeah. There's hot water pouring out in the spring at the rocky area on the east. I was taking a dip there and lost track of time."
"Hot water in the spring... Isn't that a hot spring?!"
Maou-sama jumped up from his seat as I realized the spring Alexius mentioned was something familiar from his previous life.
"Maou-sama, you know about it?"
"Yeah! Different hot springs have different benefits to your body but overall soaking in a hot spring is good for you! Where is that place? I want to go! I want to go!"
"Okay. I will take you with me next time."
"Hey... Alexius-dono... You shouldn't make half-hearted promises like that. Taking Maou-sama to a dangerous place like that is..."
Sybyl the Sabretooth Tiger chimed.
"It's not dangerous though..."
Alex pouted.
"We don't know much about that place and if by any chance something happened to Maou-sama there...."
"Why don't we all go there to check whether that place is dangerous or not then?"
With a single word from Maou-sama, it was decided that all residents of Maou-sama's Castle will be going to an onsen as a field trip.
Almost everyone.
Chaos the Black Dragon was staying behind to protect the castle and some demons didn't like getting wet so they opted out of the trip too.

"Ohh! So this is the onsen!"
The group arrived at the onsen in a matter of seconds thanks to the magic circle that Alexius created.
Steam was puffing all over, giving the place an eerie and mythical feeling to it.
"Hot water is pouring out from the ground, huh..."
"Huh... This smell..."
Some of the demons became even more curious from the smell and some became hesitant.
Ignoring the mixed feelings between the demons, Maou-sama bounced excitedly.
"Well! Let's go!!"
But Chaos the lizardman immediately stopped the over-enthusiastic Maou-sama.
