Chapter 173: The Indispensable Man in the Hot Spring
Inside the women's hot spring area.
The girls changed their clothes one after another and came to the hot spring wrapped in a thin bath towel.
Looking at the steaming water, the timid girls first stretched out one foot to test the water temperature, and only after they felt it was suitable did they slowly slide down along the edge.
Of course, there are also people like Higokumaru who dive directly into the water.
The silver-haired girl was huddled obediently in a corner of the hot spring, her usual spiral twin ponytails tied into two small balls.
The girl looked at the toy yellow duck she brought with her floating on the water:
"Bronya is charging..."
Seele sat beside her obediently. In front of the two of them were the sisters Higokumaru and Vodka girls who were playing around.
In a sense, the personalities of these three little ones are very compatible, so they naturally got along well with each other very quickly.
Looking at the three girls playing around, Bronya closed her eyes after soaking for a while, changed her sitting position, and then whispered to her sister:
"Seele."
"Yes, Sister Bronya."
"…Mother Cocolia is dead."
After returning from Siberia, she did not mention this matter to Seele.
But this matter still needs to be told to Seele. After all, she is also Cocolia's daughter and has the right to know.
"Seele knows about this matter..."
The blue-black-haired girl gave an unexpected answer.
"Seele..."
"After all, Mother Cocolia has taken care of Seele for so many years. Even though Seele has been wandering in the Quantum Sea for so long because of her, Seele doesn't hate her. It's just... Mother Cocolia must have done a lot of wrong things."
Seele whispered.
If you make a mistake, you should be punished, and it is reasonable to receive equal retaliation.
She colluded with other organizations, leaked confidential information of her organization, framed members of her own organization, and secretly conducted illegal human experiments, carrying the lives of more than millions of ordinary people on her shoulders.
And each of these crimes, if taken alone, is enough to sentence the woman to death.
Seele would not hate Cocolia for what she did to her, but she could not forgive her on behalf of others. Cocolia should pay the price for her mistakes.
"...Well, she was not a good person at the end."
Bronya said with some emotion.
…
On the other side of the hot spring pool, Mei and Kiana were simply enjoying the hot spring.
"Kiana...why do you look so weird since just now?"
"Because the area near Mei always feels a little tingling, and it feels very comfortable."
Kiana said honestly.
Mei showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and explained:
"Maybe it's the overflow of electricity..."
——As a Herrscher of Thunder, she naturally carries an electromagnetic field on her body. Although she has tried to control it, she has not yet fully mastered this power, so naturally some of it will leak out occasionally.
For Kiana, who is exercising every day,
"Oh yes, Mei, are you really dating Kirataka?"
"...Uh-huh."
Mei nodded shyly.
They didn't try to hide their relationship, so it was natural for people around them to see it.
Of course, the stupid Kiana, only noticed this after Rita asked a direct question.
The purple-haired girl glanced at Seele not far away and whispered:
"Actually... there should be Seele..."
Kirataka had confessed the matter about Seele to her after she came back.
"...Um?!"
Kiana rarely showed a look of shock.
Could this be the legendary...playing both sides?!
"Eh - forget it, Kirataka is a very nice guy to everyone, so I won't denounce him."
As she was speaking, she suddenly remembered something.
At that time, she met a mysterious person in Singapore. He seemed to know her very well. He clearly said he wanted to hurt her father, but in the end, he did nothing.
Although they looked completely different, the white-haired girl felt, based on her intuition, that the mysterious man was closely related to Kirataka.
'No, maybe they are the same person.'
Thinking of this, she asked the girl beside her:
"By the way, Mei, when I went to Singapore with the Class Monitor, was Kirataka in the dormitory?"
"Huh? Yes, he seemed to be playing games with Bronya during those days."
Faced with this question, the purple-haired girl was a little confused. She tilted her head slightly to recall, thought for a while and answered.
"Oh, I see…"
Kiana shrank back into the pool, leaving only her head outside.
'It seems... that mysterious person is really not Kirataka?'
…
Because she was giving Kirataka a back massage, Theresa was the last one to arrive at the hot spring pool.
Although she was the oldest among everyone present, her figure was also the smallest among them all.
Even Rozaliya and Liliya, who were real children, were a little taller than her.
What can she do? It's not her fault that she doesn't grow taller...
With a sigh, Theresa also entered the hot spring pool.
"Mm~ so comfortable..."
She couldn't help but let out a comfortable sound.
As she entered the water, the maid who had been waiting for a long time appeared at the right time:
"Lady Theresa~"
"What's wrong, Rita?"
"Are the hot springs here to your liking?"
"Yeah, it's very comfortable. I feel like all the fatigue I've been feeling has been relieved."
"So, after the hot spring session is over, what would you like to eat?"
Rita asked with a smile.
As a competent maid, she always has to prepare follow-up services for the people she serves.
Although food is provided here, the house is equipped with a kitchen, so she naturally prefers to prepare meals for everyone herself.
"Hmm...Is everything okay?"
"Then...how about lemon cod and bitter melon juice?"
Bitter melon was Theresa's special favorite, so she agreed without hesitation.
"Then let Rita give you a massage~"
"Uh, this is..."
............
Compared with the lively female hot spring area, the male hot spring area seems quite deserted.
Kirataka was soaking in the hot spring bored, his hands resting on the shore, staring at the empty waters in a daze.
It would be nice if he could enjoy the hot spring all by himself, but it was obvious that he would not be alone in the hot spring for the first time.
A familiar voice sounded in his ears:
"Hello, nice to meet you~"
Turning around, Kirataka saw a blond man.
With blond hair, green eyes, and a slender figure, he can be called a handsome man in any way.
——The current Bishop of Schicksal, Otto Apocalypse.
"…"
Kirataka's mouth twitched slightly.
Who knows that he will inevitably meet Otto in this kind of hot spring incident...
