" Finally.... Haaahhhh...."
" Ruby, you're making too sloppy of a face."
" But Em.... It feels soooo goooooddddd....."
" Really with you, are you just trying to get all of this out of you before they get back?"
" That might not be too bad of an idea... What do you think Charlotte?"
" It's so relaxinggggg..."
It's been 3 a few days since the building was underway, they finally finished the first hot spring, and all of the ladies of the mansion were now taking a dip in the hot spring. Ruby and Charlotte both were floating naked in the hot spring water, letting their bodies float wherever the water took them. They were unable to maintain any composure and looked as if they were floating on clouds full of happiness. I admit, the water was great, a tad hotter than I would like it, but that discomfort was eliminated after using a special magical device that was suggested by the health and safety team. Based on their studies, the hot spring temperature was perfect for both Demons and Dark Elves with their strong constitutions. Humans on the other hand, would most likely find the water a tad too hot, that's where this magical device comes in, it creates a barrier of cool air that surrounds the body and cools the area around the user. For Humans, it's almost needed to enjoy the springs. Of course, it depends on the person's preference for hot baths. As for me, the device makes the hot spring's temperature just right.
" I'm surprised you're not acting like they are, Ms. Emily."
Ms. Deborah, the mansion's gardener was currently soaking next to me and was surprised to see that I wasn't acting like the 2 girls currently lost in their own worlds.
" I'm afraid I'd need the hot springs to be somewhat cooler to even think about floating around with them. What about you, Ms. Deborah?"
I'm treated quite respectfully by the mansion staff. I believe it's a combination of my current job as Matthew's Secretary, which makes me the most important woman after Sarah and Anna. And the fact that the Humans that have stayed in Paradise tend to look for me when they need to make an important decision. I assume it's because I can inform them if the job they'd like to do is needed. After a few consultations, Ellie ended up telling her mother, Janet, then the maids, Amy, Brenda and Catherine found out. Before long, they all started to treat me as if I was the leader of the Humans and began to call me Ms. Emily. Despite the fact that I've told them, I've no such status and they should just call me " Emily"... So far, only Ms. Janet and the kids have done as I asked.
" Well, for me, I find the spring to only be warm."
" Really?"
I was shocked to hear those words come out of Ms. Deborah's mouth, to think that this was only " warm" to her... What would hot be, to her, I wonder? While I pondered that question, Ms. Deborah began to answer my question.
" Yes, as a Snake Demon, we're cold-blooded creatures, that means that our body temperature is decided by our environment and the sun. Like other reptiles."
" I hadn't even thought of asking you that until now, are you okay in the winter?"
" Hm? Well, if I was left to my own devices, sure I'd be in trouble, but Lord Matthew always makes sure that the green house is warm with its magical devices to keep the plants healthy, it's a safe place to rest in when I feel like the cold is beginning to be intolerable. Of course, I have his permission to take breaks in there when needed. Also, he told me that the fireplace in the living room is always open, and he makes sure that the fire is always going during my work hours."
" I had no idea he did that for you."
" Yes, he asked for me to make a big deal of it and if anyone had an issue with my frequent breaks for warming up to send them to him. I've done as I asked since-"
