"Oh? Cornelia? What a coincidence, you're here for a hot spring so late too."
"Hmm... because there are very few people at this time... no, Yotsuba-sama, this is the women's bath!"
"Huh...aren't they supposed to be interchangeable?" Mahiro blinked, looking confused.
"There's a big 'woman' sign written on the door!"
"Oh, maybe I saw it wrong."
Faced with Cornelia's astonishment, Mahiro's words remained unspoken. He shrugged indifferently and then, under Cornelia's gaze, slowly stepped into the hot spring.
"Phew, that feels so good."
"Lord Yotsuba... I don't really care, but if other people come in and see you, they'll think you're a pervert!"
Cornelia tugged at the towel covering her chest and whispered words of persuasion.
I'm so happy to be able to soak in the hot spring with Yotsuba-sama!
But....
Could it be that God heard my wish and granted it?
Cornelia's mind was in a mess, and the steam made her completely at a loss for words.
"Don't worry, how could anyone come so late?"
Mahiro waved his hand dismissively, completely unconcerned.
He observed that the hot spring had very few guests; including them, there were only about a dozen people in total.
And at this time of day, who would have nothing better to do than come to a hot spring instead of sleeping?
He wouldn't have chosen this time to soak in the hot springs if he hadn't happened to see Cornelia coming out of her room when he got up in the middle of the night.
"Woo..."
Hearing him say that, Cornelia gave up her last struggle.
Since Yotsuba-sama doesn't care, why should she care so much?
Besides, isn't it something she's always dreamed of—to soak in a hot spring with Yotsuba-sama?!
Thinking of this, Cornelia's body gradually relaxed, along with her hand that was clutching the towel in front of her chest.
As the bath towel slowly unfurled in the hot spring water, Cornelia's voluptuous and tall body was fully exposed to Yotsuba Mahiro.
"Hey~"
Zhenxun whistled lightly and said with a grin, "I didn't expect your body to develop so well. You're much better than you were a few years ago. I remember you were a bit thin back then."
"Isn't that because you took good care of me?"
Hearing his teasing, Cornelia felt as if her face was on fire.
However, upon hearing him mention the past, Cornelia couldn't help but slowly curl up her legs and hug them, gazing up at the starry sky and softly sighing:
"Lord Yotsuba, actually, I and many others are very grateful to you. Thank you for taking us out of the assassination department back then; otherwise, I don't know what I would be like now..."
"Thanks... I remember back then little Bonnie really hated me, that look in her eyes... tsk tsk tsk, she looked like she wanted to kill me."
"Hehe, I remember too. But please forgive Bonnie, Lady Yotsuba. She's just a simple-minded idiot."
Ultimately, they were all sold to the Empire for various reasons and abandoned by their own parents.
When they felt most helpless, Gozichi, who called himself "Father," appeared.
Bonnie, who had shown them some kindness, accepted it and regarded Lord Gozchi as her biological father.
Unexpectedly, Gozchi had only been with them for a few years, and hadn't even taught them many things, when he died at the hands of Mahiro.
After some twists and turns, Mahiro became their instructor again, making them all feel unprecedented warmth and kindness, and even accepting everything about them.
Regardless of good or evil, they never abandoned them; instead, they taught them little by little and took meticulous care of their lives.
I have helped them grow to where they are today and have become their support.
Looking back, Cornelia realized that the experience was quite dramatic.
Perhaps this is just fate...
Thinking of the girl here, the gaze towards Mahiro couldn't help but be filled with more respect and affection.
However, just as they were reminiscing about the past, the locker room door was pushed open once again.
slam-la-
A young girl walked in, wearing only a thin bath towel that covered her shapely and tall figure.
But when Cornelia saw the girl's face, she recognized her immediately; it was the black-haired girl she had seen at the hotel entrance earlier!
at the same time.
When Taeko arrived at the hot spring, she was about to go into the water when she saw Yotsuba Mahiro soaking in the pool.
So she withdrew her jade-like foot, stepping onto the warm stone floor, and bowed slightly to him, saying:
"Sorry, I went to the wrong pool."
After saying that, Miaozi turned and left without pausing for a moment.
But a moment later, she returned.
Looking directly into Yotsuba Mahiro's eyes with those calm, still eyes, he asked:
"Excuse me, this is clearly the women's pool, why are there men here?"
This kid seems a bit airheaded...
Mahiro twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself, but just as he was about to speak, Cornelia anxiously defended him:
"Sorry! Actually, he's my boyfriend. He drank a little too much at dinner, so he accidentally ended up in the women's pool to soak in the hot spring with me!"
Cornelia felt her heart pounding wildly! It felt like it was about to jump out of her chest!
After all, this was the first time she had ever lied, and it happened right in front of Yotsuba-sama. She had accidentally blurted out her true feelings!
"Boy friend?"
Taeko blinked, then turned her gaze back to Mahiro, her expression now more questioning.
Cornelia, meanwhile, nervously pursed her lips.
She is now very worried. What if Yotsuba-sama doesn't like the lies she made up?
What if Yotsuba-sama rejects it?
She prayed, like a prisoner awaiting final judgment, that Yotsuba Mahiro wouldn't refute her lies.
"Yes, he's my boyfriend."
Mahiro smiled and nodded.
Cornelia breathed a slight sigh of relief, but her face had turned crimson.
Ugh... what am I even saying...?
"Hmm...I see. Would you mind if I joined you?"
"of course can."
"Thank you."
Miaozi thanked him, not caring at all that he was male, and stepped into the hot water, slowly sitting down in the hot spring.
That's interesting...
Makoto looked at the girl with some curiosity.
"Um... I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Cornelia cautiously approached, and Makoto apologized to the girl.
But Miaozi shook her head and said, "It's okay. After all, this hotel has mixed-gender baths. It's fine to use it as a mixed-gender bath."
"hey-hey."
Cornelia smiled shyly, "It's fate that we met. Hello, my name is Cornelia, and I'm currently traveling with my boyfriend and companions."
“My name is Taeko, and I am also traveling, but I am traveling around the world with my grandmother to broaden my horizons.”
"Huh? Really?! Taeko, you're amazing!"
Is it because Cornelia is strong-willed, or because the two were originally attracted to each other?
Anyway, the two quickly became close friends who could talk about anything, and even felt a sense of mutual appreciation and regret for not having met sooner.
Of course, this "openness to everything" did not include any truth, and Cornelia was well aware of this, so she kept fabricating experiences and lies for herself.
Throughout this process, Mahiro remained silent, simply observing Taeko in quiet contemplation.
It was discovered that Taeko's expression remained completely unchanged throughout, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor.
It wasn't an act; she genuinely didn't care.
As expected of an assassin from the Oberg Assassination Society...
However, such casual conversations eventually come to an end. After chatting for about an hour, Cornelia said goodbye.
After all, with Yotsuba Mahiro around, it's still a bit inconvenient.
If he weren't there, the two of them would probably chat until morning.
"Um, Yotsuba-sama..."
In the empty corridor, the bright moonlight bathed the floor, and Cornelia, who was following behind, suddenly called out to him.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Shinji turned around and looked at the girl behind him with curiosity.
Her face was slightly flushed, and she stammered a little.
"Well, um... I'm sorry, I just said you were my boyfriend in the hot spring."
"It's alright, I understand, it's to hide my identity. Rather, I'd say it would be my blessing to have a girlfriend as gentle and considerate as Cornelia."
He reached out and touched Cornelia's head. Her blonde hair felt smooth and silky after being washed.
"If you have nothing else to do, go to sleep. Breakfast is in a few hours."
After saying that, Zhenxun turned around, but this time, as soon as he took a step, he suddenly felt a warmth coming from behind, and a pair of slender arms tightly hugged his waist.
"Cornelia?"
"Lord Yotsuba, I like you... Even if it's just a fake girlfriend, can I fulfill my duties as a girlfriend tonight?"
Cornelia buried her head behind him, her voice muffled.
Cornelia released him only when he turned around, and looked up at him.
Those bright eyes were almost overflowing with emotion, and those pure pupils were even more endearing.
Having just soaked in the hot spring, Cornelia was only wearing a thin yukata.
The thin, damp fabric clung tightly to her voluptuous, curvaceous figure.
Those thighs, honed through years of training, were incredibly toned and long, slightly pressed together.
Every inch of her muscle lines was full of amazing elasticity and strength. A few drops of water slid slowly down her snow-white neck and delicate collarbone, shimmering in the moonlight.
As her breathing quickened slightly, the perfect curve of her chest, accentuated by the water droplets, rose and fell gently...
How can you respond when a girl with such a perfect figure and looks says such humble things to you?
The answer is probably obvious.
Chapter 147 Woman, You're Playing with Fire (5.1K)
After soaking in the hot spring, it was already broad daylight. Wearing a yukata, Taeko returned to her room and found Chelsea already back, having breakfast with Instructor Barbara.
"Come and try it! The breakfast at this hotel truly lives up to its reputation," Chelsea said to her senior.
Taeko nodded and sat quietly opposite Instructor Barbara. As she quietly cut her breakfast, she asked with concern, "Chelsey, do they have any new intelligence on the Revolutionary Army?"
"It's nothing. The Revolutionary Army in the southwest has already received General Najenda, who has defected, and brought her to headquarters. In two or three days, General Najenda, along with the other high-ranking officers, should personally go to cooperate with the foreign tribes on behalf of the Revolutionary Army to jointly resist the Empire..."
Chelsea said nonchalantly, cutting off a small piece of food and putting it in her mouth.
