Chapter 67: Bathtub Mischief(ii)

For a moment, the three beastmen couldn’t help but overthink. Sora used to be particular about climbing into bed, at least knowing it should happen at night. But now, it was broad daylight and hands-on.

Xavier frowned slightly and whispered to the two beside him, "Who is that in the water?"

Ace, still covering his eyes, replied, "Besides the three of us, it’s just those three."

Lucas looked down at the ground and said, "Lukan shouldn’t be possible. It looks pretty serious. You shouldn’t do something like this in broad daylight."

Ace thought for a moment and said, "I suspect it’s Ryan. He took the animal skin skirt last time and it was a bloody battle. This wild and stimulating daytime soaking in a tub fits his style."

Xavier’s mouth twitched slightly. "But there’s that black bear too. The one called Damien. He is not simple either."

Ace shook his head. "I bet a duck egg. I still think it’s Ryan."

Xavier looked disapproving. "I’ll bet a duck egg with you. I choose Damien."

After saying that, the two looked at Lucas.

"What about you?"

Lucas felt the scene before him was too dirty. Sharing a bath in such water was unimaginable. He lowered his head and said, "I’m not joining. It’s disgusting."

Sora couldn’t take it anymore.

What is this? Betting on me and making a fuss right in front of me. Can you at least respect the feelings of the person involved?

And where did this person even come from?

Sora’s previously awkward expression instantly darkened, and she shouted at the person in the water,

"Put your hands down and get out immediately!"

Hearing Sora’s furious voice, Damien quickly moved away from her.

The bathtub had been made according to Sora’s height and couldn’t accommodate two people, especially since Damien was tall and broad. His movement caused the water in the tub to ripple violently and spill over the edges, reducing the water level significantly.

This made Sora, who had been lying in the water, rise slightly above the surface.

What caught the eye first were her full curves, followed by her rounded shoulders and her slightly plump, long legs, giving her a healthy appearance that perfectly suited the primitive world.

Xavier, Lucas, and Ace, hearing the splash of water, had initially intended to see who was secretly getting involved with Sora.

Who would have thought that the moment they looked up, they would be greeted by Sora’s unexpectedly attractive figure?

Their gazes darkened unconsciously as they secretly wondered when Sora had become so beautiful.

Previously, all of her excess weight had gathered together, making her look particularly clumsy. Now, although she was still somewhat overweight, her curves were evenly proportioned and firm, looking soft and rounded.

In addition, her complexion, which had once been as dark as coal, had gradually become much fairer.

At that moment, the setting sun cast its gentle golden light over Sora, making her skin appear smooth and radiant, almost as though it had been coated with warm honey.

The three beastmen were momentarily stunned.

Ding!

Congratulations, Host. The attraction values for targets Lucas, Xavier, and Ace have increased to 60, 70, and 80 respectively.

The affection values are approaching 99.

Sora was still burning with anger when the system suddenly chimed in.

She blinked in confusion.

How had their attraction values suddenly increased so much?

She hadn’t done anything at all.

Before she could understand what had happened, another splash echoed through the air.

"Hello, everyone."

Damien emerged from the water with a bright smile, calmly greeting everyone.

Compared to Sora’s embarrassment, humiliation, and anger, the culprit himself appeared completely composed, showing not the slightest trace of awkwardness.

Hearing his cheerful greeting, Lucas, Xavier, and Ace finally snapped back to reality, their faces flushing slightly.

After calming themselves, they looked carefully at the person in the bathtub.

To their surprise, it really was the black bear.

Xavier raised an eyebrow toward the other two.

"I guessed right. Remember to give me a duck egg tomorrow."

Ace pursed his lips and whispered,

"This guy is unbelievably cunning. Even after getting caught, he can still greet us as though nothing happened."

"He really has thick skin."

With the water level lowered even further, Sora finally realized she was beginning to feel cold.

She hurriedly sank deeper into the water, glaring fiercely at Damien.

"You, get out! And the rest of you, turn around. I need to get dressed."

This bath was completely ruined.

Sora could only hurry to put on her clothes.

Hearing her order, all four beastmen obediently turned around while she dressed herself.

The moment she finished, her anger flared again.

"I was taking a perfectly nice bath. Where exactly did you come from?"

Instead of looking embarrassed, Damien looked completely innocent.

"The tree you had me sleeping in yesterday was too uncomfortable. I wanted to find another place to sleep, but the branch broke... and I fell right onto you."

So in the end...

It was somehow still her fault.

Sora’s face darkened as she ground her teeth together.

"You’d better go hunt some animal skins tomorrow. I want long ones. I’m making a shower curtain."

Damien nodded obediently.

"Sure, Kaelira. But... what’s a shower curtain?"

Sora was so furious that she couldn’t even be bothered explaining.

She glanced at the bathtub with a dark expression.

"What do you think?"

Damien nodded with complete confidence, as though he had just solved the greatest mystery in the world.

"I understand now. I’ll find more animal hides to cover your bath. I promise no one will ever see your butt again."

Sora stared at him in disbelief.

"...That’s not the point!"

Her beautiful flower petals were ruined. Her relaxing bath was ruined. Her whitening treatment was ruined. Even her mood had been ruined.

If this were any other day, Xavier, Ace, and Lucas would have laughed until they rolled on the ground. They loved watching chaos unfold, especially when it involved Damien. Surprisingly, however, the three of them remained unusually quiet.

Their eyes kept drifting toward Sora.

Only now did they truly notice the new animal-skin outfit she had changed into after hurriedly getting dressed.

The clothing fit her perfectly.

Unlike the loose, shapeless animal-skin skirts the females of the tribe usually wore, Sora’s new outfit hugged her figure naturally. The simple design somehow emphasized all the right places without looking vulgar.

When had she...started looking like this?

The three exchanged subtle glances.

She had obviously lost weight recently. Although she was still slightly plump, her curves were now balanced and soft instead of bulky. Combined with her increasingly fair skin, she looked far more attractive than before.
