DxD: Transfer Student

Chapter 20: Bath Time And Warm Bed

"Okay."

"No peeking."

"I'd like to, but unfortunately, the bathroom is locked."

Badr replied calmly, his mind involuntarily recalling the image of the girl sitting in the bathtub when he was summoned. The details were etched in his memory, clear as day...

Ahem, blame it on having a good memory.

Sakurajima Mai didn't respond to Badr's blatant desires. Instead, she silently pointed towards the door, signalling him to leave.

"Staying outside now would make me look like a thief."

"Just tell them you're not a thief but a pervert instead."

Sakurajima Mai's retort hit Badr right in the heart.

"Then I'd still get arrested by the police." Badr smiled. "If you insult me, I'll join you in the bath."

"Hmph."

Sakurajima Mai immediately retreated into the bathroom, locking the door with a loud click.

...This girl is adorable.

Badr thought to himself as he pulled out his phone to search for information about Sakurajima Mai. As expected, there was nothing about her on the search engine. Instead, he found a bunch of irrelevant results about other celebrities.

What kind of useless search engine is this? I'm a respectable person... uh, a respectable devil.

Unwilling to give up, he searched again but still found nothing. Meanwhile, the sound of running water from the bathroom soon stopped.

With a click, the bathroom door unlocked, and Mai peeked her head out, wrapped in a towel. Her snow-white shoulders, still wet with water droplets, glistened with a healthy pink hue.

"You didn't do anything weird, did you?"

Mai asked with a highly suspicious tone.

"Weird? Like what?"

"Weird is weird!" Mai stammered, her question making her feel embarrassed.

Badr rolled his eyes.

"Did you come out dressed like that just to ask me this?"

"...No, what about my underwear?"

"Hmm?"

"I can go without changing clothes, but not socks and underwear."

Sakurajima Mai looked troubled.

Badr tilted his head in thought. "I could wash them for you and then dry them?"

"You might as well just die now."

"Wow, so heartless." Badr remained calm. "So, you're not wearing anything now?"

"I'm wrapped in a towel!"

"Oh, that sounds nice too."

"...?? Stop thinking about perverted things."

Annoyed by Badr's teasing, Mai wrapped the towel around her hair at his face. It smelled strongly of shampoo, a pleasant scent.

Badr casually pulled the towel off and said lazily, "Why don't you wait inside? I'll buy you some at the convenience store across the street. I need a change of clothes myself."

"Are you sure it's okay?"

"What's the problem?"

"A high school boy buying girls' underwear?"
