Chapter 7: Lost and Wandering Sunday (1)
After sitting in the bathtub for a while, the large bear behind me sighed first.
“… Can soaking like this really wash us clean?”
I immediately explained.
“Soaking is not for cleaning the body, it’s just to relieve fatigue. Didn’t we wipe ourselves down before coming in?
“But the water is almost squeezed out, and it’s impossible to relieve fatigue. Rather, it’s more uncomfortable because we can’t change positions.”
“… You are all sitting on my lap. Ah… And that was just a rough wipe. My back and other parts are not clean yet.”
“We can help each other scrub later.”
“Uh, scrub what…”
*Cough cough*, even scrubbing each other, a scene of beautiful girls scrubbing together would be very pleasing to the eye, Lord Juncheng would probably say so.
“Hmph, but the ‘protagonist’ who might barge in due to irresistible accidental factors and fall into our midst is dead.”
“Ah, ah ha…”
“That joke isn’t funny, Zi’ai…”
Oh dear, I stepped on a landmine again. They still haven’t fully let go and can’t calmly analyze and find a way to save Juncheng like I can.
“Yu Hui, your skin is so white, do you use any skincare?”
“I don’t really make an effort to maintain it…”
“That’s really enviable. Juncheng must be having a great time.”
“Eh? No, Lord Juncheng didn’t… Ugh.”
“Come on, no need to be shy. We’re all girls anyway. Weren’t you very proactive on Qixi Festival? We saw everything, from the cat-ear lingerie to your clumsy but earnest efforts… Ah.”
“Saw?! Wh-wh-wh-why?!”
Damn, I let it slip.
The entire process was broadcast live through Lanhua’s surveillance camera. Lanhua later sent a text message saying not to tell Yu Hui, so Yu Hui still doesn’t know. *Q*
Judging by Lanhua’s personality, she probably sent the video to all the harem members who haven’t had anything with Juncheng. A manipulative vixen, she’s probably a femme fatale on the level of Daji in her past life.
“Lanhua, your phone, it’s broadcasting.”
Huh? Xueqing woke up?
This isn’t my fault, Lanhua. I’m really not selling you out.
“Lan! Hua! Sen! Pai!”
Oh dear, Yu Hui can actually get angry when she’s embarrassed. This is indeed quite serious.
It’s understandable. After all, if the scene at that time were broadcast, anyone would be ashamed and furious enough to kill.
And I remember that Yu Hui and Lanhua seemed to have a good relationship too. Juncheng said they had a peculiar bond in tracking, and now it’s like being sold out by your own companion.
… It seems I need to be careful from now on.
Lanhua is truly pervasive.
It seems that besides calling her a fox, I can also give her the title of a rat.
I just wanted to make a joke to ease the atmosphere, but things got worse. It went from one extreme to another.
I thought I needed to comfort Yu Hui quickly, so I blurted out without thinking.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. This succubus teacher behind me did some rather unhealthy things to me too.”
Eh?!
However, Yu Hui didn’t regain her spirits. Her upper body tilted forward, and her forehead hit the bathtub.
Xueqing turned and hugged Yu Hui. Due to her small stature, she was almost completely covered by Yu Hui, with only half of her head visible.
And Lily, behind me, lowered her head, her forehead touching mine, and made a mosquito-like sound.
“Um…”
It seems Lily also remembered what she did during the dream. Memories seem to be preserved, but it would be easier to forget such memories.
Juncheng said that succubi remember their dreams clearly and can manipulate them freely. So, maybe Lily conjures up a Juncheng every night.
Well, it’s better not to ask about that. Besides, she wouldn’t be that insatiable, would she?
“During the summer vacation, Lily was made by Juncheng to tear several pairs of stockings, making them hard and unwearable.”
“Eeeek! Wh-why?!”
Ah, damn it, I blurted it out again.
But… this reaction, it’s really interesting~
*Yue~*
It seems I’ve awakened a rather bad hobby. Oh dear.
Xueqing, with only her eyes visible, silently watched us and said like adding insult to injury.
“Lanhua, recording, sent.”
“That Lan瓜狸 (Lanhua) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
Another person who was a victim of being watched found out the truth…
But Lanhua is really scary. She installed surveillance cameras everywhere Juncheng might go, monitoring him from all angles. Even the president of a country wouldn’t receive such “protection.”
Don’t worry, Lily. It’s only circulating within us, and no one else has seen it. So you don’t need to be too shy. I’ve seen you in even more embarrassing situations.
“More embarrassing?! Wh-what does that mean?!”
“Heh heh, it’s nothing.”
I glanced back at Lily, gave a meaningful smile, and deliberately looked away.
This series of actions made it seem like I knew something, causing Lily to explode.
“What AHHHHHHHH! Say it! Otherwise, otherwise I’ll…”
She grabbed my head and buried it in her chest.
“Wow, what are you doing! Are you trying to suffocate me! With those weapons! Mmph mmmph…”
“This is how I deal with disobedient students! Tell me quickly! What do you know!”
“What, what! Zi’ai classmate, do you want to taste my power again? Wasn’t that much last time enough? This time, I’ll soften your bones so much you can’t even walk!”
What! You did that on purpose last time! You still had some consciousness!
What kind of joke is this?!
“Ouch! Wh-where are you biting!”
After releasing her mouth, I pouted and said.
“Sorry, I just saw how big they were and wondered if anything would leak out.”
Of course, it was just an excuse. I just wanted revenge and was also annoyed by those pair of melon-like weapons.
“How could that be possible!”
“Who knows, maybe one shot will hit the jackpot?”
“Succubi don’t get pregnant that easily! And we’re born with the ability to prevent it…”
“Oh~ No wonder you can be a juicer without restraint. So that’s why. Does that mean you’ve taken contraceptive measures?”
Lily’s face suddenly turned red. Her previous fierce demeanor instantly vanished, dropping to negative levels, returning to her usual timid appearance. She lowered her head deeply, fiddling with her fingers and speaking softly.
“That… I don’t have it. But, one reason is that I’m not very good at contraceptive magic… And another is, if a child who was supposed to be born doesn’t get born because of it, isn’t that a pity…. I also like children. If possible, I’d like two, otherwise, an only child might be lonely during their growth…”
Wow… this succubus is hopeless…
You basically spend your days collecting nectar, don’t you?
“What are you mumbling about… Right, Yu Hui, have you taken any measures? Ah… Never mind, I’ll take it back. You definitely haven’t thought about it, have you? You’ll do whatever Juncheng asks, no matter how he treats you, and you’ll even look happy about it… You haven’t thought about such things at all, have you?”
After saying that, I realized I had just stabbed Yu Hui’s heart with a few more knives.
As expected, Yu Hui silently turned around, her eyes losing their luster as if something was broken. She had a strand of hair in her mouth, drooping.
“Teacher Lily… I need maternal love right now… I really want to go back into my mother’s womb.”
“Whoa! Wait, Yu Hui? Yu Hui classmate?! You’re clearly not in the right state of mind right now. In fact, your character seems to be collapsing!”
“I’m sorry, Teacher Lily, but could you be a mother for us today and comfort all our wounded hearts?”
From the corner of my eye, I saw Xueqing tapping her lips with her index finger, her eyes full of envy, and said eagerly.
“Me too…”
After a lot of commotion, we finally got out of the bathroom. Whether we were clean or not was no longer important. What was important was
We collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep without even covering ourselves with the blankets.
“Physically and mentally exhausted” is probably the description for this situation. I hope that starting tomorrow, both Yu Hui and Lily can return to their normal state. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me.
Unlike these girls with special abilities, I’m just a very ordinary person. I’m not like Juncheng either… Without you all, I can’t do anything.
I suggested we all sleep on futons in the living room, so I naturally had to take care of settling them down, changing them into their sleepwear, and covering them with blankets. Then, I got a can of beer from the refrigerator and went to the window to get some fresh air.
It’s already past ten o’clock…
Without the sun, the temperature has become much cooler…
Juncheng, where are you now?
I dug my fingernail into the pull tab. It didn’t open on the first try, making a *bang*.
My fingernail hurt from the recoil.
The second attempt still didn’t open. Are the pull tabs this tight nowadays?
I frowned and tried a third time, still unable to open it.
… Hmm? That’s weird…
What the hell…
Refusing to give up, I tried a fourth time, and this time it successfully opened.
*Ssszzzzzzzz*, the sound of beer bubbles escaping.
I had no time to pay attention to the beer because someone was standing on the balcony in front of me, blocking my view.
“… Um, I’m very sorry to disturb you so late. However, I can only do this at midnight.”
“I’m not playing a trick on you, I’m just knocking on your behalf.”
… Who is it?
Looking up, I saw a plump, brown-haired woman carrying a scythe on her shoulder.
“Uh, I am a Soul Messenger from the underworld, Qin Lianshe. So… do you know An Junjian?”
