Chapter 425 - Seemed Very Womanly to Me

Could it be that I was rude to the G.o.d of Bathing or something like that in a previous life? Otherwise, why am I always in a predicament like this when I enter a bathroom

The bathroom should be a place where we wash our mind, a place where we heal ourselves. Its not a place where we play a mental chicken game, nor is it a place for ones reasoning to strain to the point of boiling over.

Behind me, currently sitting on a wooden chair, was the almost naked Lillywood-san. The only thing hiding Lillywood-sans body was her hair-turned leaves Arehh? What is this? I didnt see her body firsthand, but thinking about how shes hiding her important parts with her hair its a little too perverted

Or rather, in the first place, I wonder if Lillywood-sans melon-like b.r.e.a.s.t.s can really be hidden just by her hair. I mean, even if her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were hidden, with their size, I would still be able to see everything underneath

Kaito-san.

[Im sorry!!!]

Eh? Why did you suddenly apologize?

[Ah, n- no! Its nothing!]

Calm down, stop being so excited. The more I imagine strange things, the more Im strangling myself. Empty my mind, free myself from obstructive thoughts Unnn? Arehh??

Why is there a tree growing next to me?

[E- Errr, Lillywood-san? If Im not seeing things, it kinda feels like a trees growing next to me, you know?]

Yes, The fruit of this tree is soft and suitable for was.h.i.+ng the body.

[I- I see.]

A loofah? No, a tawas.h.i.+ huh

(T/N: Both are vegetables used to scrub.)

After listening to Lillywood-sans explanation, I touched the fruit growing on the tree and felt its squishy and soft elasticity.

Its skin was a little rough, but thats why it felt like a sponge, looking easy to use.

Well then, I will start was.h.i.+ng your back, okay?

[I- I will be in your care.]

I dont have much experience in doing this, so please let me know if I missed anything.

When Lillywood-san calmly said this, the fruit she was holding was pressed against my back and she slowly scrubbed my back with her gentle hands.

Hmmm. It has a nice elasticity to it and feels pretty good. It also feels like its foaming well. This plant is pretty good

While I was thinking about this, I surrendered myself to the comfort of having my back rubbed but for some reason, the elastic things that were pressed against my back had increased.

Arehh? I wonder if Lillywood-san decided to use another sponge? The new sponge feels smooth and soft. However, something kind of strange though? It was barely moving, you know? No, they were moving up and down a little bit, but she wasnt using it as much as the other sponge. Also, it seems to be a lot bigger than the sponge she used first

[Ummm, Lillywood-san?]

Yes? Are you feeling itchy somewhere?]

[Ah, no, I didnt mean that Im sorry if I misunderstood. However, ummm Is your chest touching my back by any chance?]

Yes, Im sorry about that. I cant really change the size of my body like Kuromueina or Shalltear

[.]

I felt the blood rush to my head at once when she nonchalantly said those words.

Eh? That means, errr, this T- The smooth and elastic thing touching my back were Lillywood-sans hair-turned leaves a- and Lillywood-sans

Errr, wheres the container for was.h.i.+ng the body there it is. Ah, excuse me.

[ ! ? ! ? ]

Lillywood-san reached out to pick up a wooden bucket that was placed a short distance away from us, and something squishy pressed against my back.

Aaaahhhh!? Theyre pressing against me! Those extremely soft lumps of elasticity were being squashed against my back!

Well then, Ill wash you down, okay?

[Yesh.]

Kaito-san?

[Im owrite.]

Nothingness! Keep your mind into nothingness! Dont think about anything! The things pressed against my back are probably just soft volleyb.a.l.l.s! Theyre definitely not b.r.e.a.s.t.s!!!

a.s.sumptions are something immensely powerful. Just keep persuading yourself, keep fooling your thoughts! Once youre clearly aware of what it is, youre done for! A certain part of me will bring me in quite the trouble.

A- At a time like this, I think I should do that. I think I should imagine something scary. Picture the object of your fear!

My beloved child.

Al

right. That calmed me down a bit. No, I dont mean to be rude to her, but the first thing that popped in my mind when I thought of someone scary was Eden-san with her switch turned on.

But thanks to that, I felt like I quickly got rid of the blood rus.h.i.+ng to my head. That really helps

With this, I washed your back. I guess Ill wash the front next.

[Y- You dont have to do the front!]

You dont have to be that reserved.

[No, no, Im not being reserved here, Im. Ah.]

Eh?

Just when I thought I had calmed down a bit, I heard words that sounded like a death sentence. I hurriedly refused, but Lillywood-san smoothly moved in front of me.

It seems like she had covered her b.r.e.a.s.t.s with her hair and wrapped her towel around her lower body, so the scene shouldnt have been as shocking as it was when she first went into the onsen but the fact that theyre being only slightly covered made it even worse.

I am a man. In a situation like this, no matter how hard I try to calm my mind, a part of my body would still react, whether I wanted it to or not.

Of course, it was covered with a towel. However, it was obvious even from the towel that that part was a.s.serting itself, and Lillywood-sans gaze was focused on that extremely dangerous part.

[Ah, n- no, ummm, t- this is]

..

[U- Ummm, Lillywood-san?]

You really got aroused huh. I thought you were just saying that for politeness sake..

[Eh?]

No, its nothing. Im sorry. Kaito-san, you will wash your front by yourself, right?

[Ah, y- yes! I will wash it myself!]

I understand. Well then, Im going to go back to the onsen first.

Im not really sure why, but for some reason, Lillywood-san nodded, looking like she understood something before moving behind me with a slight smile on her lips.

Then, unlike what she had been insisting earlier, she told me that she would leave it to me to wash my front myself as she went back to the onsen.

Not knowing what Lillywood-sans intentions were, I was a little stunned, but I just picked up the sponge fruit she had left behind and slowly began to wash myself.

I see. So this is how it feels to be embarra.s.sed huh Fufufu, it seems like I definitely am a woman too.

Hearing such a small murmur, I couldnt help but feel my head heat up again even though it had almost subsided.

Dear Mom, Dad- Lillywood-san guard was really loose, and my heart was constantly beating. This is probably because she thinks of herself as a tree, and in a way, it was probably unavoidable because of her race. However, the words she muttered last seemed very womanly to me.

Were here, listening to you, Kaito-kun.

Finally, the light novel will be released tomorrow. It seems that the book is already being lined up in the cities, and there are some people who have already bought it and posted reviews on Amazon. Thank you very much.

This time is Neun!
