Vol 4 Chapter 42.1: Let’s Get Clean—In More Ways Than One—In the Royal Castle’s Grand Bath ♡ ☆

We left the queen’s private chambers behind.

Given what lay ahead, it made sense to take a moment to calm down and discuss things with everyone. Once we reached our room, I had several questions I wanted to ask Fana-san.

That was the plan, but—

“Bath time!”
“Yay, it’s been so long since my last bath!”
“Finally, I can feel clean again.”
“My lady, allow me to scrub your back.”
“Moments like this make the royal castle worth it.”

Why… why am I in the bath? And why is it… with everyone else, completely naked?

“I-I’ll just bathe later—”

Driven by unbearable embarrassment, I tried to turn around and retreat to the dressing area. But before I could, both my shoulders were firmly seized, rooting me in place.

“You can’t, Shin! You have to bathe with us♪”
“Hehe, can’t have the queen messing with you again, can we? Give it up♪”

Despite being a mage and a thief, they somehow had enough strength to prevent me from moving even a single step forward.

In that case, I’ll have to use a support spell to get out of here! Just as I thought that and began to focus—

(Soft press)

“Now, now, Shin-san♡ You must be so tired. Let us take care of you and get you nice and clean♡”
“W-Wait, Fana-san, nooo—!”

Fana-san, who had stepped in front of me, suddenly embraced me head-on. Her ample chest, unrestrained and exposed, pressed against my mouth and neck, trapping me in soft confinement. I flailed my arms weakly in a futile attempt to resist, but—

(Soft squish) (Gentle jiggle)

“You can’t escape♡ Time to get squeaky clean, okay?♡”
“I’ll scrub you thoroughly with these♡”
“Mmh… ahhh♡”

Lena and Nina pressed in from both sides, squeezing their chests against me, rendering my body completely immobile.

Why is this happening to meee♡

Everything had been normal until Lin-san led us to our rooms. But as soon as we arrived, she uttered those fateful, devilish words that changed everything:

“…The bath is ready. Please feel free to relax together.”

The women, who hadn’t had a proper chance to bathe during our carriage journey, succumbed to the temptation with alarming ease and headed straight for the bathhouse.

I had planned to stay behind and bathe later. But before I knew it, I’d been forcibly dragged along, leading to this predicament.

“I-I can wash myself! I don’t need help!”

Bathing with women—beautiful, sensuous women—was already overwhelming. But having them scrub my body with their own… it was too much to bear.

“Don’t worry about it♪ Leave everything to us♡”
“Exactly♡ What’s there to be shy about at this point?♡”
“A wise sage’s duty is to cleanse the impurities. Let the sacred breasts purify you♡”

Paying no heed to my protests, the three of them dragged me across the smooth, white-tiled floor to the center of the bath. They surrounded me like hunters with their prey, pressing their chests against me, smothering and overwhelming me.

Arms against my chest, backs pressing in, and something else entirely brushing against me with rhythmic motions—it all felt like some strange ritual. Their gazes locked onto mine as they continued their ministrations. The heat from the warm room and their soft touch melted my upper body, raising my temperature as if I were boiling.

Every pass of their skin against mine erased grime from my body. Yet, in its place, sinful thoughts crept in, swelling and taking root.

“N-Nooo…♡ …Ah, nn…♡”
“Just relax♡ It’s a bath, after all. Let yourself go♡”
“Yeah, enjoy yourself! Doesn’t it feel nice to let go?♡”
“Hehe♡ Be honest with yourself. See? Your body already is♡”

Their sweet whispers wrapped around me, disarming me further. Fana-san, a master at ensnaring men, leaned in, her fingers grazing a sensitive area as if to prove her point. Even the slightest touch made me gasp, a stifled “Hyaa!” escaping my lips.

Though her touch was barely a graze, the unresolved desire sparked earlier by the queen made the sensation reverberate through my body tenfold, stripping me of both strength and resolve.

Every soft caress, every gentle press, drained me of resistance. My knees trembled under my weight as my upper body leaned back, slowly tilting toward the floor. The three of them caught me, carefully lowering me onto the smooth white tiles. My gaze shifted to the ceiling, adorned with intricate carvings of leaves and angels dancing above.

So beautiful. It feels like heaven.

These idle thoughts filled my mind as I escaped reality. My back met the cool stone floor, leaving me lying flat on my back.

And what I saw then… was heaven on earth.

A gentle black-haired angel.
A mischievous red-haired angel.
A golden-haired angel radiating compassion.

They looked down at me, their voluptuous forms swaying like divine sculptures, their soft smiles both mesmerizing and overwhelming.

In this warm haven, my thoughts blurred, and my willpower unraveled.

“Excuse me. Leaving us out of this little party isn’t very fair, is it?”
“Indeed. In a team, it’s bad form to act selfishly, wouldn’t you agree?♡”

Two new angels entered my vision.

A youthful blue-haired angel and a cool, black-haired angel with a seductive beauty mark. Both wore playful smirks as they approached the trio.

“If you’re washing him, you should at least use this, shouldn’t you?”

Kaguya pulled out a bar of luxurious soap, likely prepared in the bathhouse. She pressed it against her ample chest, squashing and sliding it until it foamed.

A refreshing citrus fragrance filled the air, tickling my nose and quickening my breath.

With her body now covered in suds, she turned to me, displaying her glistening, soapy figure.

“How does it look, Shin-sama?♡”
“I-I… ahhh…♡”

It was like a masterpiece—both beautiful and indecent.

The foam clung to their bare bodies like fragile lingerie, threatening to spill away with the slightest movement. A mere brush of a finger could easily dissolve their delicate armor of bubbles.

Here and there, tiny pockets of air revealed glimpses of bare skin, painting their bodies with an allure far more enticing than usual. It was a tease—far more provocative than seeing them fully exposed. My eyes were glued to that one tantalizing view, even though countless breasts jiggled around me. I couldn’t look away from just one.

“Oh my, Shinn-sama’s passionate gaze♡ It seems… this has caught your fancy♡”

She quickly noticed where my eyes were drawn. Once she realized it, she made sure to jiggle her soft, ample chest with deliberate bounce and quiver. Ah, I can’t look away. The foam is going to fall off♡

“I-I’ll do it too!”
“Oh, this looks fun.”
“Kaguya, will you wash me as well?”
“If it pleases Shinn-san, I’ll join in too.”

Each of them voiced their intentions while reaching for soap. Only Alice chose to let Kaguya wash her instead.

And so began the chaotic dance of breasts. Each scrub created more foam, and as it did, their chests changed shape, wobbling wildly in all directions—up, down, side to side. It was like their breasts were performing an elegant dance with the bubbles.

Alice and Kaguya even began washing each other, their massive chests pressing together with a soft squish and press, as if they were playfully embracing.

Before I knew it, five bubble-covered angels surrounded me, seated on the floor.

Their chests, faces, and fingertips were adorned with foam carrying a refreshing citrus fragrance. With so many jiggling breasts around me, my eyes darted everywhere until I lost track of what I was even looking at.

“Hey, Shinn! Look! I’m covered in bubbles! What do you think? Isn’t it great?”

Lena, giggling like a child, spread foam across herself. Her movements caused a brief glimpse of the pink at the center of her areola.

“Heh, we’re just washing ourselves, but look at you—staring like some perverted creep♡” Nina smirked, wiping her nose where foam clung adorably against her tanned skin.

“Mmph♡ M-My lady, your movements are a bit…♡”
“Endure it♡ We need to make more bubbles, don’t we?♡”

The sight of the noblewoman and her maid entangled, their breasts rubbing against each other as if they were comforting one another, was captivating. It stirred conflicting emotions—wanting to protect the beauty of the scene and wanting to be between them.

“Hehe, as a dancer, I’ve worn many outfits, but something like this is quite embarrassing♡”

Fana-san, despite her words, showed no hint of shyness. Her enormous chest bounced proudly, the foam clinging to her milky white skin highlighting the shape of her nipples. The sight alone sent a sharp pulse of heat through my body.

“Hehe, now that we’ve all gotten nice and clean with these bubbles…”
“Yes, I think it’s time♡”

Alice and Kaguya, with foam dripping from their bodies, stepped away, letting it fall to the floor with a soft plop. They looked at me, their gazes sharp and predatory.

It was a look I knew all too well—a gaze that promised trouble. Before I realized it, everyone else had the same look in their eyes, their faces flushed—whether from the room’s warmth or something else.

“Ladies, are you ready? Then—”

Kaguya’s voice was the signal. They leaned forward, their breasts jiggling in unison. It’s happening. It’s coming.

Then, with a synchronized motion—

“Hugggg~♡”

(Slide) (Soft squish) (Snuggle) (Gentle press) (Soft bounce)

“Ahhhhhh♡ A-ahhh♡ Aaaaaahhhhhh♡”

Their foam-covered breasts came down on me like an avalanche.
