I Try To Enjoy My Life But This Woman Keep Calling Me Villain-Chapter 189: Little Spar and Bath

"Come on! You are focusing on only punching! Use your legs! You are a martial artist. Your body is your weapon! How can martial artists only use their hands?!"

"Raagh!"

Vida runs at me and does a jump kick. I block it, grab her leg, and throw her to the ground. However, she quickly pushes her body from the ground and does an upper kick to my jaw. I feel that.

The impact is strong enough to throw me away, and I land on my two feet. She gets up and gives me a smug smile.

"How’s that?!"

"Good. Good. You have been growing this past week. I think it will be–"

"Nope!"

Vida appears in front of me and throws another flurry of punches. Without my stats as a level two hundred players in Second Life, I would be full of bruises by now.

"What did I do to you to make you want to punch my face this much?"

"Because you did not want to fight me seriously!"

I keep dodging and blocking all the attacks while saying.

"That is because I’m not a close combat fighter! Hell, I’m not even a fighter to begin with! I’m a healer."

"A healer that is stronger than many warriors!"

I sigh and duck under her round kick before hitting her leg with my left hand and then grabbing it. However, before I can throw her away, she coils her legs around my arm and uses it to make her body upwards.

She smirks at me and twists her body to use her own weight to throw me to the ground. I fall to the ground and jump to deliver a drop kick into my chest. However, I managed to block her kick, push her away, and then get up from the ground.

"I’m stronger, yes. However, I’m still a healer and only know the basics of fighting in close combat."

Vida looks at me for a couple of seconds and says.

"Then let me see your full power! Go all out on me! I can take it! Even when I’m injured, I know you will heal me."

I can only sigh and look at her seriously.

"Very well."

I take a deep breath and say.

"Here I come."

I appear in front of her and throw a punch with all my might. She widens her eyes and tries to block, but before she can do it, my fist hits her stomach, and she gets thrown into the training ground wall.

I jump forward and follow her. Before she can even react, I appear in front of her and put my index finger in front of her neck. When she opens her eyes, I can see shock inside of it.

"This is the reason why I can still win against Jullian. However, give it another two or three years, and he can beat me in close combat."

I help her get up and start to cast a spell. After a couple of seconds, I nod and say.

"How is it?"

"What a monster."

I chuckle at her words. I did not feel any malice from her words. It is more of a compliment rather than an insult.

"Thank you. However, if you activate your talent, you might be able to keep up with me. Jullian can do it, and he managed to defeat me... eight times in our spar when he used his talent."

"I might keep up with you if I activate my talent, then what about yours? Will I be able to keep up with you if you use your strongest spell to increase your power?"

I decided to stay silent because I did not have anything to say on that question. Vida sighs at my silence and says.

"I know it. Oh, well. I only need to keep training, and eventually, I will punch your face." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"What about you punching my face? Does it do something to you?"

"Because I want to punch your face just once! Once! I want to punch that smug smile of yours!"

I can only chuckle at her words, and the two of us leave the training room. I smile a little when I see Silva giving Vida and me towels. I wipe away the dirt and sweat using the tower. I give them back to the servant that comes to us, and Vida does the same. I can see the servant take the towels back to the washing room.

"Is Hilda still in a meeting?"

Silva nods and says.

"Yup. As an ambassador between Luzia and Gipan Kingdom, she needs to give a report to the king and his advisor."

"But, she did not stay in our kingdom for long before we went to the western continent."

"It is not about that, Gwyn."

I look at Vida and see her give a knowing smile.

"They did not ask what happened in the Gipan Kingdom. They want to ask if she is pregnant with your child."

"What?"

I look at Silva and see her nodding her head.

"Yeah. That’s about it. She is a special kind of ambassador, you know? She is your fiance and my soon-to-be sister-wife. They will ask many kinds of questions about her performing her duty. I already told her to tell the other lords that you have performed your duty as a lord to her family and the advisor."

I want to tell those old men to shut up and mind their own business, but I cannot do that. In this era, privacy is not really a thing, at least not as great as in modern times. There is this tradition where the husband needs to fuck his wife in front of a group of people at their wedding. That tradition is happening in this continent and not too far away from the Gipan Kingdom.

Asking for your sex life is something normal in this era. I don’t like it, but I cannot change it, at least not immediately. I can try to change it slowly, but it will take decades or even centuries to make it stick.

"I see. That is good, then. Anyway, what do you guys want to do now?"

I look at Silva and Vida.

"Well, I don’t really know what I want to do. What about you, Vida? What do you want to do in this place? This is your chance to explore, after all. Which place did you want to go?"

Vida looks at the two of us for a few seconds before saying.

"Can I visit the hot public bath? It is too cold for me."

"Cold, huh? It is not yet cold. Wait a week or two to get into the autumn season."

"Isn’t autumn yet?!"

Silva shakes her head and smiles a little.

"Nope. It is still summer, but the wind is starting to get cold. Give another month, and fall officially starts. Wind will blow harder and colder than before."

"Oh, god. I already needed four blankets to keep my body warm last night."

"Ah, then you need more blankets because it will get even colder."

"Urgh."

I chuckle a little and pat Vida’s head.

"Don’t worry. You will get used to it. We are lucky that we are not in the northern continent where snow still falls in the sky in summer."

Vida shudders at my word. She holds her body as she shakes her head in horror.

"I cannot imagine how people can live in that place."

"Just like how you live in your hometown, Vida. They adapt. We can adapt even to the most extreme environment as long as we try hard enough."

"Urgh. Even if what you say is true, I still did not want to stay in a place like that."

"Even when I tell you the people in the Northern Continent are well-known martial artists?"

"Even then. It is too much for me."

"Fair enough. Anyway, let’s visit the nearby bathhouse."

"Wait! We are going out?!"

"You want to visit the public bathhouse, right? Then, we will use the public bathhouse. We still pay for the private room, of course."

"Eh? We did not take a bath with the others?"

"You want others to see you naked?"

"I don’t mind."

I look at her in shock before remembering that she is from the Western Continent. They are more open about showing their skin to others. Here, people are willing to show their skin but not to the opposite sex. Even a man when they are showing their bits to a woman.

It is something taboo in the eyes of the religion of Luzia and Gipan Kingdom. You will be looked down upon by the others and forced into hard labor for three days for the lightest punishment. The harshest punishment will be your bits chopped off, and you will be forced into twelve years of hard labor.

So, yeah. It is like night and day. I shake my head and say.

"Anyway, we should use the private bath first, and maybe tomorrow we will use the public one."
