"It's over, it's over. Vanessa is definitely going to discover Asta. Asta is still wearing my bath towel; how am I supposed to explain this!" Noelle resigned herself to her fate, but when she chased into the bathroom, she didn't find any sign of Asta!
"What's going on?"
"Could it be that Asta realized the problem and snuck away early?" Noelle breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's the matter, Little Noelle? Don't tell me you want to bathe with your big sister!" Vanessa teased, looking at Noelle.
"Eek! I just came to tell you what all these toiletries are for!" Noelle said, blushing. Since she was little, she had never bathed with anyone else before!
"As expected of Little Noelle's room, it's truly luxurious. I'm going to have a nice, long soak in a bit!" Vanessa stretched, then accurately tossed her undergarments onto the clothes rack.
"Since when was there a clothes rack here?" Noelle looked at the rack, puzzled, and then walked out.
"Remember to close the door!" Vanessa turned on the shower and smiled lazily.
"Got it, Vanessa!" Noelle accidentally looked back and saw Vanessa's curvaceous figure, her face instantly turning bright red. Only after she went out did she weakly mutter, "We're both girls, why am I blushing so much? Besides that, isn't it more important to figure out where Asta went? Did he go back?"
"Why do I keep feeling so strange, as if someone is staring at me?" Vanessa looked around the bathroom, puzzled, but didn't find any suspicious creatures!
"This is... too blissful!" Asta felt like he was getting lightheaded; he hadn't had a drop of alcohol, but he was already drunk!
Vanessa didn't know that she had become a scene of beauty for someone else. She finished rinsing off and soaked in the bathtub, leisurely taking out a bottle of wine and drinking it slowly. After finishing the wine, she felt thoroughly relaxed. With her pink skin, flushed face, slightly tipsy eyes, and slender figure, all these combined made Vanessa look as beautiful as an elusive elf in the forest!
"Alright, time to eat!" Vanessa conjured a silk towel, wiped her body, tossed it onto the clothes rack, and then put on her undergarments and walked out.
"Pfft!" Asta had reached his limit. Once Vanessa walked out, he immediately transformed back to his original form, still draped in a wet silk towel.
"Little Noelle, shall we go eat together?" Vanessa invited.
"No need, Vanessa. I haven't washed up yet!" Noelle declined the invitation.
"Sorry, I held you up from washing up!" Vanessa apologized.
"Not at all. Vanessa, you go ahead and eat; I'll come over shortly!" Noelle said.
"See you later!" Vanessa raised an eyebrow with a smile, then left the room.
"Did Asta really leave?" Noelle rushed into the bathroom, wanting to search once more.
"Crap, I absolutely cannot let Noelle discover I was in the bathroom just now!"
"Ninjutsu: Transformation Technique!" Asta transformed into a clothes rack once again.
"He's really gone!" Noelle rummaged through everything, searching the whole place. "The clothes are all still here, but the person is gone. Could Asta have really run off wearing my pink bath towel? Waaah, so shameful!"
Noelle covered her flushed face, stomped her little feet, and decided to take a bath herself!
"Wait... wait a minute, what is Noelle doing? Don't tell me she wants to bathe too!" Just as Asta thought this, a piece of undergarment carrying a maiden's fragrance covered his face.
"No way! Two bonuses in a row, I won't be able to handle this!"
"Pfft!" Because he was too excited, Asta transformed back to his original form.
"Eek!!!" Seeing Asta suddenly appear, Noelle was stunned for a moment, then began to scream. However, she had only just let out a single syllable before Asta, feeling guilty, covered her cherry lips.
"Noelle, listen to me. I was forced to do this just now to preserve your reputation!" Asta explained sincerely.
"I'm not listening, I'm not listening! You actually peeked at us!" Noelle shook her little head like a rattle, her two cute silver ponytails swaying back and forth; she couldn't have been cuter.
"I didn't peek. After transforming into other things, I can't see. Besides, if I really wanted to peek, I wouldn't have transformed back just now!" Asta said cleverly.
"Really?" Noelle asked, half-doubting.
"Of course it is. Otherwise, with my ability, how could I have suddenly interrupted the spell?" Asta bluffed.
"That seems right?" Noelle was successfully fooled by Asta. Hearing that Asta hadn't seen Vanessa bathing, she breathed a huge sigh of relief. However, while the death penalty could be avoided, the living penalty could not. "How do you plan to resolve this matter?"
"Noelle, how do you want me to resolve it?" Asta kicked the ball back to Noelle.
"Hmm..." Noelle hesitated for a moment, then said, "From now on, you must follow my lead. Whatever I tell you to do, you have to do it!"
"Is this how you treat your savior?" Asta said resentfully.
"I don't care!" Noelle pouted.
"Fine, but there has to be a time limit. How about one day?" Asta said.
"No! One year!" Noelle bargained.
"Three days, that's it. No more than that; I have my pride too!" Asta refused.
"No, one year!" Noelle insisted firmly.
"Fine, one year it is. It's a deal, then!" After Asta said this, he used the Great Fireball Technique to dry his clothes and then put them on.
"Who told you to spit fire in my room!" Noelle was startled. Fortunately, Asta was measured and didn't burn anything else.
"I'll be careful next time!" Asta smiled sheepishly.
"Now, go out to the living room and wait for This Princess. This Princess has things to order you to do later!" Noelle commanded haughtily.
"Okay..." Asta left quite regretfully, thinking to himself that he really needed to practice this Transformation Technique more in the future. Because he wasn't skilled enough, he had missed out on so much!
"Could he really not see?" Noelle muttered. She turned on the shower, and soon, a clean, fresh-smelling young girl walked out of the bathroom.
