I Was Sent to an All-Female Frontline Unit to Get Rid of Some of the Trouble, but the Most Beautiful Girls Who Are Rumored to Hate Men Love Me So Much That I Have a Hard Time at Night

Chapter 67: Growing Feelings (2)

“Wha…!? Freely express!?”

“Yes.”

Elena raised a surprised voice, and I nodded in response.

Elena’s cheeks flushed, not from the bath’s steam but with embarrassment.

She murmured quickly in a high-pitched voice I couldn’t hear clearly.

“Freely expressing feelings to each other means that kind of thing too…!? That’s all I can hear from this conversation, but if so, I feel the same as Finn, wanting him to feel lots of happiness, so I chose something thin— Wait! Finn probably doesn’t want that, so it definitely doesn’t mean that…! Just because I bought that earlier, my thoughts are too biased…! Calm down, me…!”

After murmuring, she met my eyes.

Elena startled and spoke hurriedly.

“S-Sorry for making it weird suddenly? Um, I also want that kind of relationship with you, Finn!”

“Really!?”

“Yeah!”

I felt joy at Elena’s words in front of me.

Then, Sephia, on my right behind me, spoke with slightly flushed cheeks.

“I also wish to do something for you as a man— No… I want a relationship with you, Finn, where we can freely express our feelings to each other.”

“Sephia…!”

“Of course, your big sister also wants that kind of relationship with you, Finn.”

“Norn…!”

Norn, on my left behind me, said she shared my thoughts.

The words came from the bottom of my heart, but I didn’t know connecting through them could be so joyful.

As I thought this, Norn continued with a slightly seductive smile.

“But the free way I think of expressing feelings is probably more direct than you imagine, Finn.”

“…What?”

A way more direct than I imagined to express feelings…?

“What kind—”

I started to ask, unable to think of such a method.

“We can’t keep talking in bath towels, so let’s continue this conversation later!”

“Yes.”

Sephia replied to Elena’s words, pausing the conversation.

Indeed, even in the bathroom, standing in this state without soaking might make our bodies cold.

So, I agreed with Elena’s suggestion.

I decided to forget my question for now, and Elena and the others washed my body.

Afterward, we each washed ourselves and soaked in the bath together.

“A bath feels good no matter where, right!”

“Yeah!”

“It does.”

The three had this exchange.

But this bath was much smaller than the one at the frontline base, made for fifty people.

Sephia and Elena’s shoulders touched mine, and I couldn’t focus.

“By the way, I wanted to sit next to Finn too!”

“No way, Norn! If you’re next to Finn, who knows what you’d do!”

“I wouldn’t do anything!”

Not only did Elena and Sephia’s shoulders touch mine, but their large breasts, barely covered by towels, had an overwhelming presence.

I thought about this, and—

“!”

I felt my lower body becoming active.

I knew the water and towel around my waist hid it, but I reflexively covered that part with both hands.

This caused a splash.

“Finn…?”

“Finn, what’s—”

Elena and Sephia called my name but stopped speaking.

They probably noticed something off about me.

I felt too embarrassed to look at them, so I closed my eyes and tried to shake off the strange thoughts.

“Hm? Why’d you three get quiet all of a sudden?”

Norn’s voice came, and Elena spoke hurriedly.

“N-Nothing! Um… Right! Tomorrow’s mostly free time, so think about places you want to visit in the city—”

Afterward, Elena and the others treated me as usual.

I managed to regain my calm and talked with the three while spending time in the bath.

Still…

I said earlier about a relationship where we freely express feelings, but what kind of relationship is that?

How could I express my care for everyone beyond words?

I wanted to become able to do that soon…

◆◇◆

Elena and the others let Finn leave the bath first.

After Finn finished changing and left the changing room, the three got out of the bath and went to the changing room.

After drying off, Norn started to leave the changing room.

“Hey, Norn! You’re not going to the room with Finn like that, with your breasts and everything showing!?”

“I keep saying, I can’t sleep with clothes on. Besides, Finn doesn’t have the light on, and we’ll cover up with blankets in bed, so it’s fine, right?”

“No! If you absolutely can’t wear clothes, at least wear underwear!”

“Ugh, if Elena insists that much, fine…”

Norn said this.

She picked up her mature purple underwear and put it on.

After Elena and Sephia finished dressing, the three went to the room with the beds.

Finn lay on one of the four beds.

“Finn’s already asleep, huh.”

“Fast.”

“He traveled since morning and suddenly got roped into the magic tournament, so he must be more tired than usual.”

“Yeah… We shouldn’t wake Finn by talking, so let’s sleep early too.”

No one objected to Elena’s suggestion.

They each got into their beds and lay down.

(Originally, I planned to stop holding back tonight after buying that… but I can’t do that in a four-person room. I’ll have to wait until we return to the base.)

Returning to the frontline base would likely happen after the magic tournament.

The higher-ups only said to stay in the city for a while, but that would be a good milestone.

(I know I have to hold back… Finn…)

Elena stared directly at Finn sleeping in the next bed.

(A relationship where we freely express feelings… I want that with you, Finn. Honestly, right now… I even prepared for it today.)

But she had to hold back for now.

(I prepared, and Finn said he wants a relationship where we freely express feelings, but I have to hold back…)

That was very hard for Elena.

But it also made her feelings for Finn grow stronger.

(The magic tournament in two days…)

Once it ended—

Thinking about this too long would keep her awake.
