I managed to get information about a master alchemist living in seclusion in the former Yver Duchy Territory, along with his subordinate dark elf.
The Yver Duchy was a small country sandwiched between the Espana Imperial Kingdom and the Waiyar Imperial Kingdom. As it belonged to the Waiyar Imperial Kingdom’s faction, it was invaded and annihilated by the Espana Imperial Kingdom.
On our planned expedition to the former Waiyar Imperial Kingdom territory, the former Yver Duchy Territory was supposed to be merely a transit point. However, with Sophie’s guidance, I realized I would need to visit the alchemist.
Furthermore, Ilysha, who had suddenly collapsed and fallen into a coma, was now awake and well, thanks to Alicia’s devoted nursing.
Well, considering I used up all my internal magic power with “Healing Magic,” it was only natural that it would have this much effect.
However, this was not a fundamental solution.
Ilysha wasn’t human; she was an artificial life form created by an alchemist, a homunculus. Due to the amateurish craftsmanship, I estimated her remaining lifespan to be only about six months.
Being able to realize Ilysha’s true nature early on was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune, but it was completely unclear how many options we had left.
I was organizing the agenda and issues in my mind for the upcoming “Bath Meeting,” which would be held for the first time in a while.
This was also an escape from the persistent fear of the raucous pre-meeting festivities, a tradition that had become customary.
Each girl was cute individually, but when they gathered, they transformed into predator-like women, which was problematic.
This was the reason I only called one person for my night duty.
Moreover, while I couldn’t recall it clearly, I had a feeling I experienced something terribly frightening in the “Garden of the Gods.”
“Hal, everyone is here. Please come.”
As I was contemplating in my study, Tirna came to report that preparations for the “Bath Meeting” were complete.
When I went to the small changing room for men, I heard the usual clamorous voices from the adjacent women’s changing room.
“Sophie, what is this insolent breast?”
“What? I don’t know what to say… Besides, its size and shape are almost the same as Ly’s, it’s just heavier…”
“Don’t you think my value is being undermined by the breast of an upstart? Liliana, use Tirna to teach her a lesson.”
“Yes, Ly.”
“Hey! Liliana and Tirna, stop squeezing my breast! …Ah… Ahh… Stop it!!”
“Evil breasts are destined to perish. Hoh ho ho ho!”
It seemed Ly had a grudge against Sophie’s unexpectedly large, bouncy breasts, and Liliana and Tirna had joined her.
Just hearing their voices, I could picture the scene.
Ly’s state of mind was probably something like “two of a kind cannot coexist” towards Sophie, who had acquired breasts rivaling her own pride overnight.
“This breast should be ripped off!”
“Mai, you and I think alike. I’ve been thinking the same thing.”
Now, it sounded like Mai and Kirika, who had small breasts, were joining in.
“Your name is Ilysha, isn’t it? Your Elder Sister Elise will take care of things, so just leave it to me!”
“Is the boat Elise is sailing a leaky one?”
“Freya, you’ve become quite talkative. The ‘Downtown Princess’ has certainly moved up in the world.”
“Elise, Freya, please don’t fight.”
This time, voices like those of Elise and Freya playfully bickering could be heard from another direction. It seemed Alicia was mediating.
Still, their topics of conversation never seemed to end.
I was truly impressed.
When I entered the bathroom, completely naked after finishing undressing, the other women, also naked, were already waiting.
According to the rules of the “Bath Meeting,” covering oneself with bath towels or yukata was prohibited, and being stared at by so many beautiful girls was incredibly embarrassing.
Tension arose between me and the women.
The reason was that the women were holding the “Scrubbing Stick,” which we had supposedly banned after the previous “4th Bath Meeting.”
“Elise, that ‘Scrubbing Stick’ was supposed to be banned, wasn’t it?”
“I’m not the leader this time, Hal.”
Elise smiled and glanced at Ly, who was beside her.
“Our target this time is Sophie. Everyone, commence the attack!”
While I was stunned, Ly gave the order, and the attack squad moved.
“Eh!? Why the kittens? They’re attacking me!! Aaahhhhhhh!!”
Poor Sophie was surrounded by the women and began to be scrubbed all over with the “Scrubbing Stick.”
Mai and Kirika’s “Scrubbing Sticks” got caught on Sophie’s large breasts, and they vigorously scrubbed away the dirt.
“This breast should be ripped off! This breast should be ripped off!”
What’s more, they said these curses while doing so.
“Noooooo! It hurts! It hurts! Stop scrubbing!!”
Looking closely, Ilysha was also participating in the attack!
Was this a sophisticated strategy to implant a trauma regarding beautiful girls, something she had loved so far, through this punishment?
Or was it simply personal revenge? I considered this, but since I was no longer the target, it was a case of “let sleeping dogs lie.”
Sophie, I’ll at least pick up your bones.
However, Ly and Elise, who had ordered the attack squad, approached us, covered in soap bubbles.
Sophie’s whole body was red from being scrubbed, and now the second wave, consisting of a soap-covered Liliana, Dietlinde, and Swan Hilda, charged in and covered her entire body in bubbles.
“Hal, let’s take our time and enjoy this too.”
“I will also participate.”
The next moment, Elise clung to my back and began washing my back with her large breasts.
Without a moment’s delay, Ly embraced me from the front and began rubbing with her proud, large breasts.
“You guys, you’ve really done it now!”
“Hal, aren’t my large breasts comfortable?”
“Oh Ly, my large breasts have more offensive power.”
Currently, Elise had not offered the magic accumulated in her body to seal the “God’s Yoke,” in preparation for the upcoming battle with the “Assassin’s Guild.” I absorbed the leaked magic from behind her.
As a result, my penis became erect, and I began to embrace Ly, who was stuck to my front, roughly and kiss her deeply.
Furthermore, if possible, I was possessed by a bestial desire to release my hot, surging white liquid inside Ly.
However, Ly did not panic or make a fuss. She sandwiched my erect penis between her thighs and moved her entire body—*drip*—and ejaculated for me.
Was this the sex technique called “sumata” that I had heard about before?
Still, it felt good.
And so, the wicked custom that served as the prelude to the “Bath Meeting” was alive and well this time as well.
The women, having vented their daily frustrations, rinsed off the soap bubbles and were now relaxing in the bathtub.
To be honest, Elise and Ly’s “service” where they put their bodies on the line felt good.
In fact, because of the magic leaking from Elise’s magic reservoir, I had not only deep-kissed Ly but also had her ejaculate for me. However, the attack squad was too engrossed in Sophie’s defeat to notice.
Of course, the ejaculated white liquid also mixed with the soap bubbles and went unnoticed.
Meanwhile, Elise, one of the schemers, conceded the failure of her plan and was dejected.
On the other hand, Ly, who had unexpectedly provided “service,” blushed and headed for the bathtub.
“Ooooh, Sophieee~. Are you alive~?”
And on the floor of the washing area, where the women had been, the defeated Sophie lay sprawled.
“Hal… my entire body is being rubbed and it stings. The cats here are ferocious.”
Sophie’s pathetic state reminded me of myself, the victim of the previous “Bath Meeting.”
Moreover, Sophie’s current physique was not that of a valiant “Princess Knight” but the graceful body of a “Princess from a sheltered home.”
Her appearance was so pitiable that I used my scarce magic power to cast “Healing Magic” on her.
“Thank you, Hal. Perhaps this will cancel out all the pranks I’ve pulled so far?”
“That’s naive, Sophie. The humiliation I suffered was far greater than this.”
As Sophie headed towards the bathtub with a refreshed expression, Ly declared her resolve to continue the fight.
A tense atmosphere (Newma) enveloped Sophie and Ly.
“…It can’t be helped, Sophie. This is my last act of mercy.”
“I’m grateful, Ly. And to everyone who played pranks, I’m sorry.”
A spark flew between Ly and Sophie’s eyes, and immediately after, Ly relented and called it quits.
Then Sophie apologized, and somehow she seemed to have been accepted as a party member of the “Princess Harem.”
Thank you for reading.
