Crash.

It's been ages since you've been able to sleep in your own, comfy bed. After dinner, you and the others rest, and it's an early night for everybody. The girls take a bath together, leaving you completely alone for awhile. You wander the manor in the meantime and think. There's a lot to do, and you try not to overwhelm yourself, but you can't help but get antsy with a goal in sight.

If I go to Dajy's and see if she at least knows about this flower, that's better than doing nothing. Peony says it has to do with demons, so there's no way a high succubus like her wouldn't know about it. That would be one found. It sounds like the frost lotus just requires footwork. We go there, pick it, and go home. I feel like we need to split up again then. Just a couple of us will go grab the flower, and then the rest can fight one of these monsters. We can go from there I guess. Wyverns are usually tough in RPGs and stuff, but they're usually just weaker dragons. Is a violet spider just a really powerful giant spider?

You find yourself walking down the hall right as the bathing room opens. A mist of steam wafts out from the door, and one by one, each of the girls steps out in nothing but a towel. They giggle and chatter amongst each other. Even Alice seems engaged in conversation. There's also something funny about seeing Delphi using a kitchen cloth instead.

Niki reaches around and grabs Eva's chest through the soft, fluffy towel. "So this is what you like to do, huh? Like back in the cart?"

Eva gasps. "I don't like to do it! Let go!"

Meanwhile, Amara turns away, and opens her towel up completely. Sadly, you can't see anything from this angle. She readjusts it, and ties it up again before turning to face you. "We are finished, Mr. Warren."

"Oh. I didn't even see you there," Niki says. She releases the bunny from her grip.

Eva wraps her arms around her bust. "You need to pay more attention."

"I don't get to have big ears like you." She pokes her finger against one of them.

Snow turns to Amara next to her. "Your mother sounds like a wonderful woman. I appreciate you sharing things about yourself with me."

Amara smiles back. "Of course. I trust you, Ms. Snow." She reaches over, and scratches the kitty behind her ears.

"Ooh..." Snow's eyes flutter closed. Her face starts to turn pink as she becomes completely silent.

You squeeze your way past them in the hall, and step through the doorway. As you go, you mutter, "You know, I'm pretty sure I've seen everyone naked. I don't know why taking a bath is so--"

"It's not the same!" Eva shouts. "And don't say something like that so bluntly. Erase those memories from your brain."

"Do you actually mean that?"

"I--... Well, no... Just go have your bath!"

Niki scratches her cheek. "Yeah, Kyle. You can't say something like that, as if we've been super intimate before or something. Hah! Hah! Imagine if that happened."

My entire household has some serious problems with denial.

Delphi pats you on the head. "Don't worry. I'm sure you'll live your bathing-with-several-women fantasy one day. Cleaning each other's backs. Washing each other's hair. Getting suds all over each other's bodies, and really just feeling every little--"

"Please," Alice mumbles. "Do not be so descriptive."

You eventually make it into the bathing room, and once again, things are quiet. You undress and soak in the steamy hot water. The room feels so large when you're on your own, especially after being away from this place for so long. If you were on Earth, this would be something fit for a millionaire. It certainly sticks out as the nicest part of the estate. Whoever built this place must have really enjoyed their baths.

After perhaps saying in for too long, you emerge from the water with wobbly legs. You dry off, cover yourself up with a towel, and make your way to your room. You shut the door and put on your comfortable pajamas. Then at last, you fall into your bed. Everything fades quickly. Both your mind and body needed some proper sleep.
