A Barbarian Youth proposed to me, a Countess!? - Ch. 4

[Random_Passer-by]

If I remember my history classes right, this concept is accurate. Particularly in Greek/Roman culture, bathing more than once a month was seen as disgusting and barbaric. It's also why there was a big thing with nobility having a lot of perfumes, to mask how rank they smelt


A modern equivilent would be someone thinking an entire can's worth of AXE meant they didn't need to shower, it'll be fiiiiiine.

Hum. I did a quick search on Wikipedia, and the only mention was

during the Christianization of the Empire, changing ideas about public morals led the baths into disfavor.

, and even that was contradicted around two paragraphs later. How hard could it be to find out something so basic‽

So the scanlations have reached the latest chapter. Hopefully the author is working on the next chapter.

PS: Please don't listen to the wife's knowledge about "bathing" since it's very unsanitary.

Not quite... they actually did WASH themselves... just not bathe....

Using a wet cloth can actually clean yourself really well, especially if you do it daily... and do it well...

Now, the author probably just heard of this and didn't know the full story.... or because she was a noble, it was other people cleaning her with water and she just sucks at it...

Of course, a shower is the best way to clean yourself... but sponge baths are used quite regularly for people with mobility issues...

So.... even though they are married... they don't have sex???

I went and took a look at the artist's pixiv. Release dates for these four chapters were :
ch1 : 2022-03-29
ch2 : 2022-11-03
ch3 : 2022-11-17
ch4 : 2023-02-05
And since ch. 4, there's been 20 more artworks posted. (half of which are feet focused)

So yeah, don't put too much stock in a continuation…

edit : My bad, diving deeper in the pixiv, turns out the (porn) conclusion of that story had already been drawn between chapter one and two, (on his patreon I think ?). With a preview, here? (note : still porn).

Wait, so they already consummated?

Does that mean the author's other manga about the high schoolers who secretly like each other have a nsfw continuation as well?

By "drawn between chapter 1 and 2", I meant : "posted on pixiv between the time chapter one was posted and the time chapter two was posted". From her clothes we can guess this sex happened (shortly?) after chapter 4.

Does that mean the author's other manga about the high schoolers who secretly like each other have a nsfw continuation as well?

Maybe, maybe not. You'd have to ask to someone who's subscribed to the artist's patreon. I'm just a passer-by.

Late to the Party :/

The not bathing were the French (mainly) why-did-the-french-not-bathe?
That was around the time with the toxic facepowder and the extravagant perfume use.

Anyways the nobles usually were able to change their undercloths multiple times per Day. Those were
usually out of linen which absorbed the sweat well. That way they wouldn't stink too much and their costly 'Top' clothes could be spared from the wash.

If cotton would have been wider available, more would have used that instead, as it is even more absorbant. Cotton can absorb up to 2700% of its own weight, which is why you shouldn't go hiking with cotton clothes.

Wait, so they already consummated?

Does that mean the author's other manga about the high schoolers who secretly like each other have a nsfw continuation as well?

Do you mean the Shota x Big girl one? If so there's currently nothing.

Also It's not really a continuation it's just a picture variation set. Patreon Leak

Depends on how clean the water you use is
