Life 3 × CH 7

"The hot springs sure are nice, huh?" Akeno said, soaking in the water.

"I do hope that this helps melt away some of the fatigue of training." Rias said.

"It will melt away, no doubt about it." Akeno giggled.

From the shower area, Asia looked over at the two girls she often catches Issei ogling.

Her eyes were more specifically drawn to their chest.

They were so ample and plump.

She looked down at her smaller breasts and sighed.

"They are extravagant..." Koneko said from beside her.

Asia looked over at Koneko who was scrubbing her arm.

She was staring ahead with that same expressionless look on her face.

"U-Uh...." Asia wasn't quite sure what to say to the girl.

Unable to start a conversation, she just sighed and gave up.

After washing, the two girls joined Rias and Akeno in the spring.

They were all chatting when they heard the door open before closing again.

Everyone turned to see who was coming.

Maoyu walked into the bath in only towel.

She ignored the girls in the hot spring and went to the shower area.

She grabbed a stool, a wash bowl, some soap, and a scrub brush.

After drenching herself in water, she lathered soap on her body and began to scrub herself. When she started washing her hair, she closed her eyes and sighed.

For some reason, when she started doing this, she remembered her biological mother.

A memory of bathing with her in the tub surfaced in her mind.

Like her, her mother was dark-skinned. Her hair was long and curly and her eyes were light-brown. Even though she looked more like a westerner, one could still see her Japanese roots in her features.

What she remembered the most about her mother was her smile. It could illuminate the whole room. And she had a pretty voice, one that could sing you to sleep.

Her brows furrowed.

Why was she thinking about her all of a sudden?

Maoyu had been so distracted, she didn't notice the person walking up behind her.

"Let me help you out with that." Akeno said, replacing her hands with her own.

Maoyu was startled and was about to attack when she suddenly moaned out load.

She froze and her face lit up like a Christmas tree.

"Oh~?" Akeno was amused and continued to massaged her scalp. "So this is what you like, fufufu~"

"S-Stop please...." Maoyu covered her face in shame.

"Hmm?" Akeno looked at her red ears and giggled. "My, I wonder where else I should rub to get a shy Mao-chan."

She let out a small 'eep' and smoke blew from Maoyu's ears at that.

This made Akeno laugh even more.

She stopped massaging her scalp and rinsed her hair.

She started washing Maoyu's back with a satisfied smile.

She finally found a way to tease the girl.

She looked at Maoyu's face and saw the wronged expression on her face.
