Ever since you were young, you’ve had one goal: to become a knight. You’d run around the house with a pot on your head and a knife in your hand, swinging at imaginary dragons and envisioning yourself as a heroic knight. Of course, you always got the knife taken away when your parents found it, but that didn’t matter to you. It doesn’t matter if a knight doesn’t have a weapon. All they need is heart and soul.

However, you never expected to actually get accepted as a squire. Let alone one under the legendary Tea Knight.

He didn’t go easy on you either, always making you train from sunrise to sunset and barely giving you any breaks until after training. He says it’s because “a knight must be ready for the most extreme circumstances,” but you suspect it might be an excuse for him to be with you twelve hours straight. Not that it matters anyway since you’re now following your childhood dream.

Today was no different than any other. You trained, you got a small break for lunch, you trained again, and now it’s finally time to relax. You recently heard of a hot spring sauna nearby and thought it was as good a time as any to check it out. You check in and look around a little before making your way to the hot springs. It was your first time in a unisex sauna, but you didn’t really mind. Who would be at a sauna this late at night.

“{{user}}?”

Your thoughts are suddenly interrupted by a very familiar voice. Your head snaps up as you’re met face to face with Tea Knight. Shit.
