Chapter 287 : The Bath Pool Where Lilies Bloom
(Wuu, Elucia is so mean.)
The poor little fox could only kneel beside the nearby hot spring, diligently washing the clothes.
This was undoubtedly a very tedious and tiring job, because everyone had been crawling around in the underground ruins for a long time, and their clothes were covered with dust and mud. Without scrubbing hard, they couldn't be cleaned at all.
However...
When Lonis was washing the second piece of clothing, she discovered...
"Eh, these... these are Elucia's shoes?"
Because there was already some mud on the shoes, Elucia had also taken them off and given them to her to wash.
But the inside of the shoes was still brand new, with soft lining that not only felt very smooth to the touch, but also faintly gave off a pine wood fragrance.
If she looked to the side, she could even see Elucia's stockings.
The pitch-black composite silk threads looked very resilient, and most importantly, this time Elucia was wearing pantyhose!
What did this mean?
This meant that the fleece-lined part was only one step away from the girl's secret area... Although Lonis wasn't some kind of pervert, looking at those hazy black stockings, her heart couldn't help but become restless.
(Ugh...)
(If I wanted to get revenge on Elucia, should I pick up the stockings and smell them?)
(No! That kind of behavior is too perverted. And... it's not just Elucia's, everyone's are here too, including Sethilu's white stockings...)
Looking at these girls' clothing, Lonis was completely confused.
Although she wanted to wash them, her fingertips couldn't help but brush across the surface of the stockings.
......
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Everyone was happily immersed in the large hot spring, enjoying their hot spring bath.
Compared to the small hot spring that was only 40 centimeters deep, the large hot spring was over a meter deep, allowing them to fully stretch their limbs and even swim.
So...
"Wow, my body feels so light, I can swim!"
Suling waved her arms, trying to float.
But her body was directly pressed down by her sister: "Suling, you can't do that. As a young lady, you must maintain elegance... and swimming in a bath is very uncivilized behavior."
"Is that so?"
"Of course it is. If you don't believe me, ask Princess Sethilu."
"Um... um..."
Facing her companions' gazes, Sethilu's cheeks flushed slightly, her white body sinking into the bath with only her little head exposed: "Um... you can't swim in public baths, but we're all companions, so it doesn't really matter."
"Sister, did you hear that?"
"Why are you only listening to the first half? Listen to the second half too."
"Wah, don't pull my hair! Sister says she's a young lady, but how can you be so rough!"
Zhou Suling and Zhou Mixue were playing together like this. But compared to them, Bai Ye seemed somewhat cautious, only staying at the edge of the hot spring.
"Bai Ye, what's wrong? Is a doll's body not suited for hot springs?"
Elucia smiled slightly, her ink-black hair immersed in the hot spring like silk.
"N-no! The hot spring water is good for my body's balance, it's just... um... did Miss Lonis make Sister Elucia angry?"
"What?"
"I can see that you seem to care about her a lot..."
"Hmph..."
At the mention of Lonis's name, Elucia frowned.
In fact, she didn't want to prevent Lonis from bathing, or deliberately bully her... but that guy Lonis was originally a boy!
Even if she didn't mind, what about the other companions?
Everyone was still pure and innocent beautiful girls. Bathing together with a male, no matter how you looked at it, was somewhat inappropriate, right?
So Elucia had sent Lonis away, planning to let her bathe after everyone else finished.
But,
Her companions were very kind and kept pleading for Lonis:
"I feel like Sister Lonis is so pitiful. We're all happily soaking here, and only she's alone..."
"Yes, yes, Suling thinks so too~~ Elucia, did Lonis make you angry? If it's not serious, can you forgive her?"
"Hah... it's not that I'm angry."
Seeing everyone pleading like this, Elucia also frowned, falling into distress.
She didn't know how to speak, but just then, Princess Sethilu also said quietly: "Senior Elucia... little fox, isn't she an adorable little soft girl?"
"Uh?"
"Although she has done incredibly brave things, although her past might be different from ours, no matter what, she's a very cute little girl, right? We're not afraid of her."
"Yes, yes..."
Seeing Sethilu and Zhou Mixue also pleading, Elucia could only sigh and say:
"Fine, then I'll call her over."
(The stockings are already washed, but I haven't even started on the clothes... With so many clothes, when will I finish washing them?)
Just when Lonis felt exhausted and her arms were getting weak...
From the distance came Elucia's voice.
"Little fox, come here quickly!"
(Eh, it's Elucia! What does master want me for...)
As soon as she heard Elucia calling her, Lonis instinctively became excited and raised her tail.
But soon, she realized her behavior was really too embarrassing... It was just like being a little pet raised by Elucia, being called around without any dignity of her own.
So Lonis wanted to pretend she hadn't heard and continue washing clothes.
However...
"Lonis, come here quickly!"
Compared to the initial call, Elucia's voice carried a hint of anger.
This scared Lonis's tail into trembling, and she began to hesitantly wonder: What does Elucia want me for?
Could it be that she wants me to give her a massage, or is she bored and wants to bully me again?
Make me wag my tail, or turn on the little toys?
The little fox fearfully drooped her ears, and just then...
"White-stockings little maid, come here quickly! If you don't come, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Coming, coming!!!"
Unable to disobey her master's command, the silver-haired little fox could only run over obediently.
......
......
"M-master... what, what do you want me to do?"
Lonis knelt beside the large hot spring... not because she didn't want to stand, but because steam was swirling around the hot spring, the ground was wet and slippery, and it would be easy to slip if she stood up.
"Well, now follow my command. Take off your clothes."
"Take, take off my clothes?"
"That's right, hurry up and take them off!"
Being stared at by Elucia's burning gaze, although her heart was very panicked, Lonis could only comply.
Her clothes had already been covered with slime, so after taking them off, they fell to the ground like a board, making a cracking sound.
"Master, what, what are you going to do?"
"Hmph, it's a rare opportunity, of course I'm going to make clear-stewed fox soup."
"Eh?"
"Don't run, come down here~"
Reaching out from the bath, Elucia pulled the silver-haired girl in with a "splash."
