Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece.

Artoria witnessed all of this from the corner.

Her eyes were wide open, her mouth slightly agape, and her expression shifted back and forth between shock and embarrassment.

What did she see?

Matsumoto Rangiku and Violet sat on either side of Shiraha.

And they were sitting so close together!

So close!!!

The soft flesh was all stuck to Bai Yu's body!

Artoria felt her face burning up again, and this time it was even worse than before.

The heat spread from my cheeks to my ears, then to my neck, and even my shoulders, which were soaking in the hot spring water, started to feel hot.

The person who was surrounded was Bai Yu, not her.

But she was just nervous.

Her gaze involuntarily drifted in that direction, then quickly returned as if burned, staring at the petals on the water's surface, pretending she hadn't seen anything.

But her ears were perked up, unwilling to miss a single, subtle sound.

"Mr. Bai Yu——"

Matsumoto Rangiku's voice rang out again, with a hint of mischievous laughter: "You've had your eyes closed since just now, you weren't imagining things in your mind... imagining what would happen next."

"No."

Bai Yu's voice remained calm, but upon closer listening, one could detect a subtle hint of helplessness.

...She actually guessed right.

"Really not?"

Matsumoto Rangiku clearly didn't believe her. She leaned forward slightly and peered at his expression: "Then open your eyes and look at us. I don't believe you'll still see nothing when you open your eyes."

"Random Chrysanthemums".

She turned her head and looked at Bai Yu's profile. In the misty steam, his features appeared soft and hazy.

Then, her gaze slowly drifted to the pool...

Her gaze lingered there for a moment, then shifted away, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

"Mr. Bai Yu——"

Her voice suddenly softened, carrying a hint of languid sweetness: "Bai Yujun, you look quite energetic."

"Fortunately."

Bai Yu answered.

"Liar..."

Matsumoto Rangiku said bluntly, "Looks like you still have quite a temper..."

Bai Yu paused for a moment, then did not deny it.

"I knew it!"

She paused, then turned slightly to face Bai Yu.

"Would you like me to massage your shoulders and other areas?"

Bai Yu opened his eyes and looked at her.

Matsumoto Rangiku's expression was serious, and her smile was radiant.

“Rangiku is right—” Violet’s voice was deep and gentle, with a hint of husky magnetism: “Shiraha-kun is indeed too tired today, let’s give you a massage together.”

As she spoke, she turned her body slightly to the side.

Bai Yu glanced left and right and realized that he seemed to have no room to refuse.

"……OK then."

He had a feeling that they were going to eat meat today...

Matsumoto Rangiku's face immediately lit up with a bright smile, like a child who had received candy.

"Very good--"

Rangiku said, lifting her hand out of the water and flexing her fingers, then turned to Shiraha: "Shiraha-kun, turn around and face away from us."

Bai Yu turned around as instructed, facing away from the two of them, placing her hands on the edge of the pool, her shoulders slightly lowered, exposing her entire back to the misty water vapor.

His back was smooth and strong, with clearly visible shoulder blades and the grooves of his spine extending from the back of his neck to his waist.

Matsumoto Rangiku and Violet exchanged a glance.

Both of them had a smile in their eyes, but beneath that smile lay different emotions.

Matsumoto Rangiku made the first move.

Chapter 188 Join Them

Just as Bai Yu was enjoying the service, he heard the sound of water splashing on the pool.

Bai Yu turned his head slightly and saw Nico Robin walking towards them from the other side of the pool.

Her demeanor was composed and elegant. Even in the hot spring, even when she was completely naked, her temperament remained as mysterious and captivating as a blooming white rose.

Her wet, black hair cascaded over her shoulders, with a few strands clinging to her cheeks and neck. Water droplets dripped from the ends of her hair, gathering into tiny streams at her collarbone before slowly sliding down her skin.

Robin wore a faint smile, but it wasn't as straightforward as Matsumoto Rangiku's, nor as composed as Violet's. Instead, it carried a knowing understanding that she had seen through everyone's thoughts in the hot spring.

"It seems quite lively here—"

"You wouldn't mind if I joined too?"

Before Shiraha could answer, Matsumoto Rangiku spoke up with a smile.

"Of course I don't mind. It's more lively with more people, and Bai Yujun definitely prefers more people."

Robin chuckled softly, walked behind Shiraha, and asked Shiraha to sit a little forward. Then he stopped between Matsumoto Rangiku and Violet.

She didn't sit down immediately, but stood behind Bai Yu, looking down at his shoulders and neck, which were slightly red from the steam.

"Mr. Bai Yu——"

Her voice came from above, carrying a faint hint of laughter.

"You've had a tough time these past few days."

Bai Yu raised his head slightly and met her gaze.

"It's alright, there's nothing difficult about it..."

"Working hard every night is not easy."

As Robin spoke, he slowly sat down behind Bai Yu, his position directly behind him.

In this way, Bai Yu was surrounded by three people from three directions.

Matsumoto Rangiku is on the right, Violet is on the left, and Robin is directly behind.

The warmth of the three people's bodies was transmitted through the pool water, enveloping him from different directions, making him feel warm and at ease. At the same time, the softness of the three people pressed against him, yet it also carried a subtle sense of oppression.

"Robin—"

Matsumoto Rangiku turned her head to look at her, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Do you also do massage?

"I know a little bit..."

Robin's answer was humble, but her eyes betrayed her.

As she spoke, she raised her hands, her ten fingers long and slender.

Her hands hovered over Bai Yu's back, not falling immediately, but lingering for a moment, allowing the warmth of her fingertips to reach a delicate balance with the warmth of Bai Yu's shoulders.

Then, her fingers gently fell.

Her methods were completely different from those of Rangiku and Violet.

Rangiku is kneading, Violet is pushing, and Robin is touching.

Her fingertips brushed lightly across Bai Yu's neck and back, like dragonflies skimming the water, each touch as light as a feather.

Her fingertips carried a strange rhythm, like musical notes, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.

Bai Yu felt comfortable.

Three hands roamed over his back, shoulders, and neck. The sensations of the three different hands intertwined, and he could no longer tell which hand belonged to whom. He only knew that his body was becoming more and more relaxed and immersed in this multi-sensory experience.

"Mr. Bai Yu——"

Matsumoto Rangiku's voice came from the right, tinged with a mischievous smile.

How are you feeling now?

"Very good, not bad..."

"very good……"

"Then..."

Matsumoto Rangiku smiled with satisfaction, but her hands didn't stop moving, continuing to move up and down in her favorite spots.

Violet and Robin exchanged a glance, both with a hint of a smile in their eyes, but beneath that smile lay different emotions.

Just then, Artoria finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Her gaze kept drifting in that direction, each time she would quickly pull it back as if she had been burned, but then she couldn't help but let it drift over again.

She saw Matsumoto Rangiku's hand underwater, Violet's hand pushing against his neck, and Robin's fingers gently brushing against his back.

She saw Bai Yu's expression, an expression she had never seen before—lazy, relaxed, and content, like a cat whose fur had been stroked, completely immersed in the comfort brought by the three women.

A feeling that was hard to describe welled up in Artoria's heart.

That wasn't jealousy; she resolutely refused to admit it was jealousy.
