Humans sometimes remember to turn back to a health-conscious lifestyle.
I was vividly reminded of this after the recent sauna escapade.
Huh? It’s usual for women to get excited about diets, you say?
...That’s true.
But I also thought it might be good to pay attention to my health, focusing on a particular item.
Onions.

Sitting in the sauna, arms crossed and silent, was exactly as I had imagined.
The farm’s orcs and goblins were so eager to cram into the sauna that the small tent was nowhere near enough.
Lining up sauna tents along the coast didn’t seem right either, so we ended up building a wooden ...
