Kerry and Undine were making a clandestine deal while Victoria and Lina were still bickering about entering the hot spring together. But Kerry was certain Victoria wouldn’t be able to overcome Lina’s stubbornness.
“Isn’t 40 silver too expensive?” Kerry asked Undine. The solution, as always, was money.
“Hee hee. If you don’t want to, you don’t have to.”
“…What are you going to do with all that money? You’re a spirit.”
“As you can see, I’m a free spirit who leisurely runs a hot spring in a cave. But that doesn’t mean I’m not lonely. Sometimes I want to be with a spirit user who has a beautiful soul color.”
“And so?”
“But I don’t want to give up my freedom either. So, I need money. If I have money, I can hire a spirit user to enjoy time with, without a contract. Do you understand why I’m saving money now? Hee hee.”
“…So, you’re going to save money and treat the spirit user you like like a host club boy?”
“What’s a host club?”
“Uh, nothing…”
In any case, it wasn’t Kerry’s business, so he decided not to argue further. Kerry handed Undine 40 silver. It was a sum that would have made his hands tremble back in his F-rank adventurer days, but now it didn’t seem like that much.
‘40 silver is nothing if I can break through Lina’s iron walls.’
“Payment received. Customer.” Undine smiled contentedly after receiving the money from Kerry. It was a capitalist’s smile.
Now to watch what Undine does. Undine approached Lina and Victoria, who were still arguing.
“So, Victoria. How can a man and a woman enter a hot spring together? Common sense dictates that’s too promiscuous.”
“It’s just entering a hot spring, what’s so promiscuous about it? And I can’t leave Kerry to soak alone, can I? Even if you decide not to go in, there’s no reason for you to stop me.”
Undine carefully interjected, “Excuse me…”
“?”
“Actually, I’m not feeling well right now, so I don’t have much energy. I’m also using a lot of power for the red-haired friend’s recovery.”
“Ah…Lady Undine. Is that so?”
“Yes. So, if possible, I’d appreciate it if you could all enjoy the hot spring together. It’s difficult for me to maintain the hot spring for an extended period.”
“…”
Lina seemed to be seriously contemplating Undine’s words. However, the iron-walled Lina didn’t seem like she would be easily swayed.
“In that case, it would be better for only Kerry to enter, and we’ll refrain. Undine’s hot spring has special properties that will be more beneficial to Kerry than to us.”
“What are you talking about, Lina? I want to enjoy the hot spring too!”
“…But didn’t Undine say it’s difficult for her?”
“Undine said it would be fine if we all enjoyed it together.”
“…”
As Lina was pondering with a serious expression, Undine began to subtly set the stage.
“We offer bathrobes for our guests. If you wear them, it won’t be awkward even if men and women enter together. Actually, as a spirit, I don’t really understand that kind of distinction anyway.”
“…”
Seeing Lina still hesitant, Undine nodded to the small spirits. This wasn’t their first rodeo. The little spirits bustled about and brought bathrobes.
“These are the bathrobes. What do you think? Isn’t this enough?”
“Yes. These offer similar coverage to regular clothes. Lina, what do you think?”
“…”
Lina’s iron wall was sturdy. She still seemed to be contemplating. The robes were fine, but the very act of men and women entering a hot spring together seemed to be the problem for Lina. Besides, the robes were so long and baggy that it seemed like there wouldn’t be any fun in entering the hot spring together.
‘I paid 40 silver, she’s not going to handle things like this, is she?’ Kerry glared at Undine disapprovingly. Undine winked as if to say not to worry.
‘Let’s trust Undine for now.’
After some persuasion, Victoria started to forcefully push a hesitant Lina.
“Stop worrying and let’s go in. Didn’t Undine say it’s difficult for her to maintain the hot spring? Come on, let’s go.”
“But…but…” Lina mumbled “but,” but in the end, she was dragged to the changing area.
Kerry also moved to a separate area to change into a robe. The women hadn’t finished preparing yet, so they hadn’t come out. Kerry decided to enter the hot spring first since he had nothing else to do.
Steam rose from the hot spring. Despite being in a cave, the air was pleasant and the walls were smooth. Undine must be managing it separately.
‘It’s quite atmospheric.’ With beautiful women, it would surely be a paradise.
“The water temperature is perfect. My body is melting. Ahhh.”
As he entered the hot spring, the warm water began to relax his body. This was nice. About 20 minutes after Kerry started enjoying the hot spring…
“Why aren’t the women coming out?” Couldn’t they just tie their hair and put on the robes?
Just then, in the distance, Kerry saw Lina being half-dragged by Victoria and Undine, her arms linked with theirs. It was obvious who was causing the delay.
“Kerry, have you been waiting long?”
“No, I just came in first. It’s nice and relaxing. Come on in, everyone. The water temperature is just right.”
“Ho ho ho. I’ll warm up my old bones for the first time in a while.” The old woman entered the bath first. This wasn’t bad. With the old woman there, it felt more like a family bath than a mixed-gender bath. This must have contributed to breaking down Lina’s iron walls.
“Then, excuse me.”
Lina also gave up and entered the hot spring obediently. Moreover, Lina in a bathrobe exceeded expectations. He had only ever seen her in armor or baggy everyday clothes.
Unexpectedly, Lina was hiding a formidable weapon underneath her clothes. That volume was extraordinary.
“I’ll go in too.”
With Victoria also entering the bath, a beautiful picture was complete. Across from Kerry, two stunning beauties were soaking in the hot spring, wearing bathrobes. The old woman was there too, but let’s ignore her.
Lina entered the bath and exclaimed in admiration, “The water is truly wonderful. Actually, this hot spring is imbued with Lady Undine’s power, which helps to cleanse the body of impurities. That alone helps with growth. Not only that, but it’s also good for skin beauty…”
Lina started explaining like a know-it-all. To Kerry, it looked like she was making excuses using grand principles. As if she hadn’t entered the hot spring for any other reason than its benefits.
‘Where’s Undine?’
Kerry expressed his dissatisfaction to Undine with a look. It roughly translated to: [This isn’t what you said. You said the robes would be shorter if I paid more! Is 40 silver a joke?!]
In response to Kerry’s protest, Undine simply smiled as if to say not to worry. Right, there must be a plan.
As Kerry chatted and enjoyed the hot spring with the others, a wind of change blew. He didn’t know how long he’d been waiting for this moment. Kerry saw it clearly. The bathrobes Lina and Victoria were wearing were changing very slowly. Kerry didn’t know the principle behind it. He could only tell because the old woman’s robe next to him was perfectly fine. Only then did Kerry begin to see Undine’s grand plan. Kerry secretly gave Undine a thumbs-up.
“Hee hee. I wish Natasha could have joined us.”
“It wouldn’t be bad to come back in after Natasha recovers.”
Lina and Victoria chatted. They were still unaware that their robes were gradually becoming more revealing. Lina’s ironclad robe, which had covered her entire body, was getting shorter. The tightly tied parts began to loosen, revealing glimpses of Lina’s skin between the openings.
‘Is that…is that Lina’s cleavage?!’
A perfectly ripe cleavage like a painting. It had to be considerably large to create such beautiful lines. Lina was bustier than he expected. He was certain.
The bottom of Lina’s robe was also gradually getting shorter, now subtly revealing her thighs above her knees. It was the first time he’d seen Lina’s skin since they’d been traveling together.
Victoria and Lina still seemed oblivious.
“So, I asked Kerry if he wanted to become a wizard and if he’d considered formally studying magic. Do you know what he said?”
“What did he say?”
“Well, Kerry said…”
Victoria’s appearance was no less impressive. Unlike the demure Lina, Victoria sat with her legs comfortably spread. The water was clear, so Victoria’s legs were very visible. As Kerry cautiously glanced at Victoria’s spread legs, he saw her neatly closed vulva between them.
‘No way! No panties?!’
Victoria’s blatant posture made him wonder if she was doing it on purpose. He was convinced when Victoria smiled faintly at him while talking. She was doing it on purpose! This lewd noble!
‘Wait, if Victoria isn’t wearing panties…’
‘No way!’
‘Could Lina also be…?!’
‘Calm down. I have to calm down.’
The hot spring water was very transparent. That meant Kerry’s lower body was also clearly visible. Just as Victoria’s vulva was clearly visible to Kerry now.
‘If I get an erection, I’m screwed.’
Kerry passionately sang his national anthem in his mind, filled with longing for his homeland. Had he ever sung the national anthem so fervently in his life?
Victoria seemed to have already noticed that her robe was getting shorter. But Lina? Lina still hadn’t noticed. Victoria was chattering away, preventing Lina from noticing.
“I asked Kerry why he wasn’t formally studying magic, and he replied, ‘I want to use magic, but I don’t want to work hard.’ Pfft. Don’t you think that’s shameless?”
“Hahaha. Yes. I apologize to Kerry, but that’s truly shameless.”
Victoria kept talking, keeping Lina’s attention away from her robe. Why was Victoria working so hard when it wasn’t even for her own benefit? Kerry was grateful, though.
Lina’s robe continued to shrink. Before he knew it, the robe Lina was wearing had become like a miniskirt you’d see in modern times. The top was also deeply V-necked, revealing her cleavage. Lina’s skin was incredibly nice. He had expected it from her face, but still. Perhaps because the water was wet from the hot spring, Lina’s cleavage was shiny and even more alluring. A miniskirt on the bottom, and a top that fully revealed her cleavage. This was like the bitch version of the Iron-Walled Regressor!
Undine hadn’t cheated. She had come up with a brilliant plan worthy of applause. To provide such a scheme for 40 silver felt like a steal.
“The warm water feels so good. Ho ho.” Meanwhile, the old woman was leaning back and enjoying the hot spring.
However, it was only a matter of time before Lina noticed the problem with her robe. Let’s enjoy the eye candy until then. As Kerry was feasting his eyes… Lina, whose mind had been completely absorbed in Victoria’s chatter, finally noticed something was amiss.
“Wait…Lady Victoria, aren’t you opening your robe too much? Your cleavage is showing. Kerry is here, so please be more modest.”
“Oh, is that so? But Lina, your robe is wide open too.”
“Huh?”
Lina looked down. Her large, beautiful breasts were in plain sight. The line of her ample hips below her slender waist was also clearly visible. Because of Lina’s demure posture, he couldn’t see ‘that place’ between her legs, but her shapely legs alone were a feast for the eyes. Lina let out an uncharacteristically loud scream.
“Kyaaaaa!”
Lina screamed and began to cover herself with her arms. Was the eye candy over? No. Seeing Victoria playfully cling to Lina, Kerry sensed that the situation wasn’t over yet.
