Recap
Last time, Jemil barely escaped the wrath of his overprotective phoenix beast, Lyra, after accidentally walking into her "molting" ritual—which, according to her, was deeply private. Unfortunately for Jemil, the rest of the harem didn't buy his "I didn't know" excuse. Now, after winning a tense team battle against a pack of rival beast tamers, the group has stopped to recover in the healing springs of the Sky Lotus Bathhouse. But not everything in the steam is as relaxing as it seems…
Main Story
The Sky Lotus Bathhouse was the kind of place you could get addicted to without realizing it.
The moment Jemil stepped inside, a wave of perfumed steam rolled over him, carrying the faint fragrance of sakura blossoms and something… sweeter. The tiled floors shimmered with condensation, while golden lanterns lit the air in a warm glow. The whole place looked like it was designed specifically to make you drop your guard.
