I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

Natsukawa Masuzu nodded in satisfaction: "After all, there's no mixed bathing here. Even if you wanted to be a lucky pervert, you wouldn't have the chance; you'd just get arrested normally."

He sighed and facepalmed, "I never said I wanted to go to the women's bathhouse with you."

"You really don't want to?" As she walked toward the door, Natsukawa Masuzu teased, "Besides Yukinoshita, aren't all our figures to your liking? Especially Yui-chan, she'll be even more amazing after taking her clothes off."

Tenkuji Yu couldn't help but twitch his lips—when did this guy develop the illusion that he was a giant cat lover?

He didn't have any particular preference for women's figures. If he had to say, he actually preferred the slender and youthful physique of Qiong.

When it comes to breasts, nature is good, but small breasts also have their own beauty. There are also girls who have huge breasts but it doesn't suit them, and who prefer to be as flat as a steel plate, right?

Yes, I'm not referring to anyone in particular.

Yuu Tenkuji sighed and said indifferently, "It's okay if it's just you, but forget about the others... I'm not interested in nudity other than my girlfriend's."

"Really?" She blinked.

"Of course it's true."

Tenkuji Yu thought she would have some kind of reaction, but after asking the question, Natsukawa Masuzu took a deep breath and suddenly turned her head away.

"Waaaaah~ Yuu is so lewd! So lewd, so incredibly lewd, she actually wants to see me naked! Ryou-chan is in big danger!"

She started yelling like a child, opened the door, and ran away from his room as if fleeing, her swaying silver hair disappearing behind the closed door.

In the quiet single room, Tenkuji Yu stood there stunned for a while before finally bursting into laughter.

"That idiot..."

You hid your shy smile, but forgot to hide your fair, rosy ears and your increasingly undisguised feelings.

She loves telling dirty jokes but is also easily embarrassed—that's the Natsukawa Masuzu he knows...

Perhaps in just a few days, she will become a stranger's lovely girlfriend.

Chapter 138 Returning to the Hot Springs (No Perks, Please Review with Confidence)

This is a forbidden area for men, a space exclusively for women.

This is a smoke-filled outpost, a secret garden where one can shed their armor and take off their clothes.

The wooden floor was slightly damp, and the heating had driven away the expected chill, so even bare skin didn't feel cold.

The cabinets along the wall were either locked or open, and there were still many women drying their hair in front of the mirror, some with disheveled clothes, and some even wearing only a bath towel, their beautiful figures on full display.

Of course, there were also many middle-aged and elderly women with dry, sagging skin who chatted with others while walking naked in the changing room without any intention of covering up, enjoying the freedom of their bodies.

(Omitted for brevity) Yukino Yukinoshita was dragged over by Yukino Yukinoshita Haruno.

Even though she had expressed her wish to "die rather than do it," this devilish older sister, who would do anything to make herself happy, still forcibly dragged her from her room to the hot spring bath, and even prepared a change of clothes in advance.

"The last time we went to a hot spring together was several years ago, wasn't it?"

With memories in her eyes, Yang Nai's expression was sincere and her tone gentle, like a wolf grandmother luring Little Red Riding Hood into her mouth.

"Don't you miss it, Yukino? We used to take baths together a lot, and back then, you loved to squeeze that little yellow duck..."

"Enough! Stop making up nonexistent memories!" Yukino said, her face flushed with exasperation and her disgust undisguised. "The past is the past. I don't want to soak in the hot springs with anyone else right now. Do you have a problem with that?"

With a cold expression, she hugged her clothes and walked towards the door.

I hadn't walked more than a few steps when a sigh came from behind me.

"It's just soaking in a hot spring, why worry about your figure? I never imagined that Yukino would be so insecure about herself..."

"..."

The moment the words left her lips, Yukino Yukinoshita stopped in her tracks.

With a cold gaze and expressionless face, she turned around, not even glancing at the people over there. She simply walked silently to the locker, put down her clothes, and began to unbutton them.

Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita's smug smile of triumph, Yui Yuigahama hesitated for a moment before cautiously offering her opinion.

"Um, Ms. Yang Nai... everyone has their own difficulties. If Xiao Xue really doesn't like it, wouldn't it be better not to force her?"

"Hmm?" As if she hadn't expected anyone to speak up for Yukino, Haruno gave Yuihama a strange look, then smiled and affectionately ruffled her hair.

"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it. Of course I wouldn't do anything too outrageous. It's nothing serious, Xiaoxue won't hold it against me~"

"Because you did something even worse." The cold voice seemed to freeze the floor. Yukino Yukinoshita took off her outer garment, revealing a pure white inner lining.

Ignoring her words, Haruno lowered her head and whispered to Yuihama, "Besides, Yukino is just shy... Do you believe that if we don't soak now, she'll come to the hot spring tonight on her own?"

She chuckled smugly, "Hmph, she'll be timid and hesitant if I don't provoke her. That child is always so troublesome."

"Is that so?"

In any case, Yui Yuigahama could not connect the word "timid" with Yukino Yukinoshita, who was always dignified and correct.

Since Xiaoxue's older sister had already said so, she, as an outsider, couldn't really refute it, and could only obediently nod: "I understand. Sorry for interrupting without knowing anything..."

"No, I'm so happy that Yukino has such a caring friend!"

Haruno raised her voice again, patted her shoulder hard, and said cheerfully and heartily, "As you can see, Yukino has basically never made any friends, so Yui-chan, you have to take good care of your friendship!"

Yui Yuigahama clenched her fists and answered solemnly, "Of course, I will!"

"Yuigahama-san, don't listen to that person's nonsense." Sweeping her cold gaze over her slender figure, which was only wrapped in a bath towel, Yukino Yukinoshita said in an unfriendly tone, "Hurry up and change your clothes and come into the hot spring. If you plan to chat here until dawn, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Ahhh, I almost forgot!" Reminded of this, Yuigahama Yui quickly escaped from Yukinoshita Haruno's clutches and went to another locker to start taking off her clothes.

With a helpless sigh, Yukino Yukinoshita turned her head back and brushed her bangs behind her ear.

Where no one could see, her eyes remained filled with displeasure, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved into a gentle arc, revealing a faint, straightforward smile.

About a minute later, after Yukino had simply tied up her long hair, a cheerful and charming voice came from beside her.

"Alright! Xiaoxue, let's go soak in the hot springs!"

Yukino Yukinoshita turned around from in front of the locker and scolded, "Yuigahama-san, I don't need to teach you the proper etiquette for bathing in a hot spring..."

Before he could finish speaking, his voice vanished along with the smile that had lingered on his face.

Before me were three pairs of gleaming white weapons.

To put it simply, there are pink-haired giant cats, black-haired giant cats, and silver-haired giant cats.

Even though she was wrapped in a bath towel, her curves and cleavage were still so obvious, appearing even more prominent and elastic under the pressure of the fabric.

Overwhelmed by the strong visual impact, Yukino Yukinoshita was momentarily stunned before reflexively looking down.

...Well, I can't say there's none, but once you're wrapped in a bath towel, it's practically the same as not having one.

In any case, you can see the toes directly anyway.

Yukino Yukinoshita's expression instantly darkened, a strong killing intent brewing in her dim blue eyes, and the temperature around her continued to plummet.

It was a sense of frustration stemming from a woman's instincts. Even though she mentally listed a hundred reasons why "body shape is useless" to convince herself, the feeling of real emotional damage couldn't be erased, and it even made her somewhat resentful.

(I can accept the older sister... They're both high school students, so why have Yuihama and Natsukawa grown so much...? That doesn't make sense.)

Was this irrational world created by the gods?

—From this moment forward, the gods are dead, and perfect humanity will create a new world.

As for what a perfect human should look like—light, slender, and without any excess fat—I don't think she needs to elaborate, right?

"call……"

Yukino Yukinoshita quickly adjusted her mindset after letting out a soft breath, placed her hand on her chest, and tightened the towel around her body.

"Let's go."

With a calm expression, she walked past the three pairs of murder weapons toward the entrance to the women's bath.

The first to catch up was the giant silver-haired cat.

The other person smiled and complimented, "Yukinoshita-san, your skin is so nice."

Seemingly out of consideration for a certain older sister, she behaved very restrainedly, but the provocation in her eyes was as striking as the white ceramic tiles on the wall.

"Thank you for the compliment." After replying coldly, Yukino Yukinoshita continued walking. "Anything that can't kill you will eventually make you stronger... Natsukawa-kun, just say what you want to say, there's no need to beat around the bush."

"Nietzsche's famous quote? Unfortunately, I didn't intend to mock your figure; that would be too tasteless."

Natsukawa Masaki shrugged, her smile fading, and said just as bluntly, "If having a flat chest can keep out those disgusting male gazes, I'd be willing to shrink to an AA cup. After all, the size of one's breasts doesn't represent the nobility of one's soul, does it?"

The so-called noble soul is one that has reverence for itself – Beyond Good and Evil, also from Nietzsche.

This stark contrast in attitude caused Yukino Yukinoshita to look at her in surprise, somewhat bewildered, yet unable to help but agree with her words.

"That's just how it is. Ultimately, judging someone's body shape is not something to be encouraged..."

Before she could finish speaking, Natsukawa Masaki cupped her face in her hands and grinned foolishly with happiness.

"Besides, Yu said that no matter if he's short or big, he only likes me~ So body shape doesn't matter at all, what matters is that the person he likes is satisfied! You agree, Yukinoshita-kun?"

"..."

Without turning her head, Yukino Yukinoshita closed her eyes, took a short, deep breath, and then opened the door to the hot spring without looking back.

—The person who stopped to listen to her speak must have been the stupidest person in the world.

And then, most importantly.

The feeling that my chest was about to swell from the gas was definitely just my imagination...

Chapter 139 Natsukawa Masaki, and Yuigahama Yui

White smoke swirled in the air.

Although it's not an open-air hot spring, this guesthouse has a particularly charming atmosphere. The ceiling of the hot spring is specially designed to resemble the sky, and when you look up, under the soft, dim lighting, various constellations shimmer with an ever-changing brilliance.

Before your fair, bare feet are stained red by the hot water, washing your body first is considered proper hot spring etiquette.

Hair is usually not wet, so it should be wrapped up in a towel beforehand; when rinsing your body, you should naturally take off the towel, but there is no rule that you can't wear a towel when soaking in a hot spring, after all, there are still people who don't want others to see their bodies.

Because it's not a mixed-gender bath, almost no one wears a swimsuit to the hot spring. Most people openly expose their smooth thighs and arms, and their alluring curves are faintly visible in the white mist. If you ignore the middle-aged and elderly people over forty, the scenery in the women's bath is a diverse and beautiful sight, like a secret garden.

Of course, with no men present, women are usually not excited by the sight, and no one will give another glance at the other's naked body, each enjoying themselves in the comfort of the steam and hot spring, relaxing their mind and body.

Yui Yuigahama carefully stretched out her foot and touched the water's surface, first letting her calves get used to the scalding temperature before slowly submerging her thighs, and even her waist and hips, into the hot spring pool. Her fair skin was almost instantly tinged with a vibrant rose color.

A few strands of pink hair clung to her cheeks, and the back of her neck was alluringly beautiful.
