Chapter 24: I Surrender. Do as You Please.

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Imelda shed tears for the first time in a very long while. The body heat of Kia, whom she held in her arms, was precious. For Imelda, who had lived without ever knowing human warmth, this girl was more than just a subordinate. She was like a younger Big Sister separated by many years.

Imelda had intended to be the one protecting her, but in truth, it was likely her own heart that had been saved by this girl in many ways. She realized this now, after all this time. After crying together for a while, they finally calmed down, and Kia pulled back to ask a question.

“Was it that ‘fox woman’ over there who erased your crest, Big Sis?”

“Fox woman?”

Imelda turned around. The one who had turned her to stone was the short girl with the bob cut, but it seemed Kia was referring to the young man in the iron mask. Even though she called him a fox woman… He looked like a man no matter how one viewed him. And most likely, he wasn’t human.

He wore black clothing with a crimson cloak and an iron mask that hid his eyes. Only his mouth was visible, but he looked young—eighteen or nineteen at most. Despite his white hair, he didn’t seem aged. Rather, he was brimming with vitality.

Kia claimed this young man was actually a suspicious woman with fox ears and a tail transformed by magic. Regardless, he was someone Imelda would normally be on maximum alert against, but she owed him for erasing her crest. He didn’t seem to harbor any hostility, either. He was a strange man.

“Did he do something to you too?”

“He kinda taught me the good points of men… W-well, that doesn’t matter! He can use amazing magic, like that transformation stuff and this bath! And I’ve gotten totally relaxed!”

“A bath…”

Imelda surveyed her surroundings once more. It was indeed a bath. Furthermore, it was a type she had rarely seen. It resembled a bath she had glimpsed long ago when she visited the Eastern Lands. However, even then, she hadn’t bathed. Because she hadn’t wanted to show her skin to anyone.

“―! My chest.”

She had been so preoccupied with the crest, but ever since her shirt had been sliced open earlier, her twin mounds were completely exposed. She hurriedly covered her chest with both arms. However…

(To think I’d feel embarrassed about a man seeing my skin, regardless of the crest… I didn’t know I had such emotions left in me.)

She let out a small, self-deprecating laugh. Then..

“Achoo!”

“Kia? Did you catch a chill?”

The room was warm thanks to the steam, but Kia was naked and wet.

“Ugh, I’m gonna get back in… I know! Big Sis, you should get in too! You don’t hate being naked anymore, right?”

“Eh. No, but…”

An unnatural bathroom located in a dungeon. Moreover, if this mysterious man had prepared it, it was suspicious beyond belief.

“I was halfway forced into it too, but…”

Then, Kia made a maidenly expression that Imelda had never seen before.

“I guess I’m glad I was put in? At first it was hot and painful, and his body was all hard and felt weird, but then it started to feel good, or rather, he made me feel that way… e-ehehe.”

“Hey, you.”

“It’s a misunderstanding.”

This masked man. What exactly had he done to her precious little sister figure?

“But you know. Even though I clung to him and said ‘Stop, I hate it!’… he just came at me with a lot of force…”

“Hey.”

“The bath, okay? She’s talking about the bath, all right?”

He admitted to bathing with her. At this point, it might be better not to tell Kia that he was actually a man. It seemed like it would be too much of a shock for her.

“‘Masters and servants get along better when they wash each other in the bath,’ he said. So come on, let’s get in! If you don’t, that octopus-like monster over there will force you in, you know?”

“…………”

“T-the Roper is a last resort. Hahaha.”

“Unyunyu!”

Even as she organized the situation in her head again, Imelda didn’t feel like she could escape. She didn’t seem to stand a chance against that petrification girl, and there were two of the tentacle monsters. As for the masked man—he appeared to harbor a power so immense that the others couldn’t even be compared to him. Furthermore, there was another suspicious presence behind the wall.

Even so, there was no sign that they intended to cause any more harm. On top of that, Kia was tugging on her arm and begging.

“…Fine. I surrender. Do as you please.”

“Really!? Then hurry, hurry!”

“Hold on. I’m taking my clothes off…”

She said the words, but…

“Hey, turn around.”

“Ah, it’s fine. I can’t see because of the mask.”

“Liar!”

If this man weren’t her benefactor, she would have wanted to carve him into pieces with a knife. However, everyone present was waiting for Imelda to get naked. The pressure was intense.

“~~~~!”

She might as well just do it. Steeling her resolve, she first took off the torn shirt. Even though she had never shown so much as her shoulders or stomach to anyone, let alone her chest. While undressing, she looked at her own skin. The scars that had been on her arms and belly—

(They really are all gone…)

The reality finally began to sink in. The steam in the bathroom was lukewarm and seemed to cling to her skin. Whether it was because of this heat or because of her sense of shame, her body was gradually flushing.

“Big Sis, you gotta take off the bottom too.”

Kia, who believed there were only women present, spoke nonchalantly.

“I-I know!”

Imelda put her hands on her belt and began to take off her pants but as expected, she hesitated. She had never chosen her underwear with the intention of showing it to anyone. They were just plain shorts she had picked out at random.

“By the way, Imelda. I’ll make you a new shirt and new beige panties later to replace the ones I tore. For now, you can just toss those in the basket over there.”

“I see. Thank you—…Wait, you ARE looking after all!”
