### đ *Tensura: Multiversal Shenanigans*
**Arc 3 â Komi Can't Communicate**
**Chapter 28: Spa Day in the Spirit Realm! Rimuru Gets Steamed (Literally)**
---
**\[Scene: Spirit Realm â Floating Onsen "CelestiBubbles"]**
After the emotionally exhausting spirit trials, Aeon "kindly" offered the party a day of rest at the realm's finest spiritual bathhouse: a floating onsen drifting lazily between clouds of mana and mist.
**Aeon (ethereal, mildly smug):**
"I have booked you⊠the VIP suite. Mortal bodies often require relaxation after spiritual awakenings."
**Ciel:**
> "Translation: He is bribing us to not tell the Spirit Council that Milim broke three pillars."
---
**\[Scene: Dressing Room â Girls' Side]**
**Milim (already changed):** "Check it out! My towel is enchanted with +5 fluffiness!"
**Ramiris (struggling):** "Why is this thing so LONG?! I'm gonna drown in towel!"
**Elena (spa attendant spirit):** "Would the tiny one prefer a... washcloth?"
**Ramiris:** "Rude but yes."
**Komi (wrapped neatly, glowing faintly as usual):** *blinks*
Even the towels folded themselves respectfully around her.
---
**\[Scene: Boys' Side]**
**Tadano (blushing):** "This is fine. This is totally fine. I'm in another world, in a magic onsen, and Komi-san is a literal goddess now. Normal Tuesday stuff."
**Rimuru (in human form, adjusting towel):** "Just relax. Ciel, privacy field?"
**Ciel:**
> "Activated. No accidental peeks, unless Milim punches a wall again."
**Tadano:** "Why is that specific?"
---
**\[Scene: The Onsen â Communal Pool]**
The party emerged into a steaming, glittering bath where the water *literally* hummed a soothing tune.
**Milim:** "WAAAHHHH\~ this feels like being hugged by clouds!"
**Ramiris:** "I think I left my soul in the bubbles..."
**Rimuru:** "Ahhh, yep. This is the stuff."
**Komi (sitting quietly, steam circling her like orbiting wisps):** *content silence*
Even the water sparkled more around her. A koi fish swam up and bowed.
**Tadano (melting):** "She's... she's radiating inner peace like Wi-Fi..."
---
**\[Suddenly: Trouble. Obviously.]**
The pool began to tremble.
**Ciel:**
> "Alert. Mana disturbance detected. An angry fire spirit is awakening beneath the onsen."
**Rimuru:** "WHY is there an angry volcano spirit *under the spa*?!"
**Aeon (materializing awkwardly):**
"A small... oversight. Perhaps related to Milim carving 'MILIM WAS HERE' into the sacred tile."
**Milim (pouting):** "It needed *personality*! Also glitter!"
---
**\[CRASH â Fire Spirit Emerges]**
A molten entity erupted from the deep end, screeching in rage.
**Inferno Spa Warden (flaming):** "WHO INTERRUPTS MY STEAM-NAP?!"
Everyone screamed.
**Except Komi.**
She simply⊠turned her head and blinked.
The fire spirit paused.
**Inferno Warden (blinking):** "W-wait⊠is that⊠the Whispering Queen?!"
**Komi (tilts head slightly):**
> \[SYSTEM: Komi activates "Absolute Presence" (Passive). Nearby threats re-evaluating aggression...]
**Inferno Warden (immediately bows):**
"I-I deeply apologize, O Silent Serenity! Please accept this complimentary volcanic loofah!"
---
**\[Scene: Calm Returns â Somehow]**
The fire spirit sinks back into the depths, leaving the pool warmer and oddly lemon-scented.
**Rimuru (dripping, exhausted):** "We almost died in *a hot tub.*"
**Ramiris:** "That's, like, the most relaxing death possible."
**Tadano:** "Komi saved us again. With a blink."
---
**\[Later That Evening â Spirit Realm Lounge]**
**Milim (munching spirit cookies):** "That was fun! Let's do it again next week!"
**Rimuru:** "No. No more death spas."
**Aeon (pouring tea for Komi):**
"You have proven yourselves... unpredictable. I approve. Komi-sama, your presence has... stabilized the mana turbulence for the next century."
**Komi (nods politely):** *sips tea, butterfly lands on her head*
**Tadano (softly):** "She's not just a goddess. She's *adorable.*"
**Ciel:**
> "Confirmed. Komi-san is now unofficially ranked above 78% of minor deities."
---
**\[Meanwhile: Spirit Bureaucracy Headquarters]**
**Bureaucrat Spirit:** "So let me get this straight... Komi Shouko entered our realm, said nothing, and is now outranking three arch-spirits?"
**Messenger Spirit:** "Also she made a volcano apologize."
**Bureaucrat Spirit:** *deep sigh*
"âŠApprove her paperwork. And offer her an internship."
