“Huh??”
“Eh?”
Was Liyu usually that violent?
Watching the beast-eared girl disappear beyond the horizon, Yumo slowly sat up, momentarily unsure what to say.
Meanwhile, after throwing her sister away, Liyu hurried over to Yumo’s side and crouched in front of the black-haired girl, anxiously asking:
“Mother, are you alright?! Big Sis was way too reckless! You just transformed, your body still isn’t stable yet, and she actually charged at you with that much force!!”
Looking at the devastated ground around them, anger filled Liyu’s emerald eyes.
Seeing the little girl puffing up her cheeks while angrily muttering complaints, Yumo couldn’t help smiling softly.
Honestly...
Liyu wasn’t wrong.
Right after transforming, Yumo had indeed felt extremely exhausted. Both her spiritual power and the Shadow of Silence Power inside her body had been heavily depleted. Limo charging at her without any restraint really had been somewhat inappropriate.
But in truth, Yumo hadn’t felt uncomfortable at all.
Even the arm Limo had slammed into earlier remained completely unharmed, without the slightest trace of pain.
One had to understand—
Among Demon King-tier Abyss Demons, Limo’s physical body ranked among the strongest.
Even an unconscious tackle from her was enough to smash a Saint-tier expert into pieces...
Yet Yumo...
Hadn’t suffered anything at all.
It seemed this new body of hers was far sturdier than she had imagined.
‘Then what rank am I now? Demon King-tier...?’
Staring at her slender, delicate hand, Yumo fell into brief contemplation.
Her silence, however, made the little Liyu beside her uneasy. The gray-haired girl worried that Mother might actually have been injured by her stupid sister.
If that really happened, she would absolutely join forces with her other brothers and sisters to pin Limo down and rub her silly face into the dirt.
Anxiously, Liyu grabbed Yumo’s hand.
“Mother! Are you really alright? Did she actually hurt you?”
“Ah?”
Pulled out of her thoughts by Liyu’s voice, Yumo looked awkwardly toward the worried gray-haired girl beside her. Then she gently raised a hand and rubbed Liyu’s little head.
“I’m fine. Your silly sister isn’t capable of hurting me. Don’t worry, alright?”
“O-Oh... okay then...”
After receiving Yumo’s devastating head-pat attack, Liyu’s little face immediately flushed red as she shyly lowered her head.
Her entire face bloomed with blissful happiness.
‘Hehe~ Mother patted me~’
And not with an energy hand—
A real hand!
I’m probably the first one she’s touched like this, right?
Thinking that, Liyu suddenly felt a bit smug, and a proud smile unconsciously spread across her face, leaving Yumo utterly confused.
“You little brat, what’s with you all of a sudden? What are you smiling about?”
“Ah?! N-Nothing!”
Liyu hurriedly shook her head and quickly restrained her smile before desperately trying to change the subject.
“By the way, Mother, you seem a little dirty?”
“Dirty?”
“Yeah! A little! You’ve been sitting on the ground this whole time after all~”
“Hm?”
Yumo slightly raised a brow and slowly examined her body.
At some point, the white cloak wrapped around her had become stained with dirt after being tackled by Limo, while her delicate body itself was covered in traces of mud and dust. After mixing with moisture, the dirt felt sticky and unpleasant, causing Yumo to reveal a look of disgust.
Back when she was still a building, she hadn’t cared much about dirt.
But now...
Yumo didn’t want this soft, pale body of hers covered in grime.
“Looks like I really am a bit dirty.”
Noticing the disgust on Mother’s face, Liyu’s eyes instantly lit up. She immediately stepped forward and hugged Yumo’s arm. ƒrēewebnovel.com
“Mother! Since you’re already this dirty, let me take you to wash up! We can soak in a hot spring too!!”
“Eh? W-Wash? A bath?”
Hearing that, Yumo froze.
A bath?
For this body?
Thinking about it, Yumo pursed her lips and slowly lowered her head to examine her incredibly seductive body once more.
The next second, her face instantly turned red like an apple.
She still wasn’t used to this body at all!
And now bathing too?!
At this rate she’d probably start bleeding from the nose and pass out halfway through!
Still...
This body...
That sticky feeling all over really was uncomfortable.
And honestly, Yumo herself was also deeply curious about her new body.
For a moment, the girl became thoroughly conflicted over whether or not she should bathe.
“Forget it. I’m still not used to this body yet, so I’ll skip it for now.”
But the instant she said that, a bright gleam flashed through Liyu’s emerald eyes.
“It’s okay! Mother, if you’re not used to it, we’ll help wash you!”
“Eh?? Help me wash?”
“Of course! Just like how Mother used to help bathe us!”
Liyu smiled sweetly before impatiently grabbing Yumo’s hand. Her little face filled with pleading innocence as she widened her eyes and stared at Yumo cutely.
“Pleaaase, Mother~”
Yumo: ......
—
And thus, time returned to the present.
Yumo, who already disliked the sticky feeling on her body, ultimately failed to resist Liyu’s adorable pleading. Dragged away by the two sisters, she ended up arriving at the hot spring atop the Wantuzi Mountain Range.
And personally experienced what it felt like to bathe together as mother and daughters.
At first, due to instinctive embarrassment, Yumo continuously used her hands to cover her tiny chest and the secret place below.
But after seeing Limo and Liyu behaving without the slightest shame or restraint—
Yumo could only helplessly lower her hands.
And truly meet the two girls completely bare.
At the same time, her new body was thoroughly studied by the two naughty girls for quite a while...
Fortunately, the mist from the hot spring concealed the redness covering Yumo’s face.
Otherwise, she honestly had no idea how she was supposed to maintain her dignity as “Mother.”
‘Need to get used to this quickly...’
Yumo silently made up her mind.
She needed to quickly adapt to this new body—
And to bathing together with these two girls.
After all, judging by their current behavior, the sisters clearly loved splashing around in the water with her.
In the future, they would probably drag her to hot springs all the time.
Besides...
These girls were actually really good at massages...
Glancing behind her at Limo, who was continuously massaging her back, Yumo revealed an extremely satisfied expression. Her whole body melted limply atop the rock, leaving her back to Limo while allowing Liyu to handle her arms.
She had only just gained a sense of touch—
And already she could experience such a comfortable massage.
Mmm~
‘Suddenly... I feel really happy~’
Sure enough, having a body really was completely different.
Back when she was still just a building, she never would’ve even dared dream of enjoying something like this.
Still...
Didn’t these girls spend all their time in the forest?
Where exactly had they learned massage techniques from?
Did people outside teach them? Maybe Saiboke and the others?
Hm?
Wait.
Saiboke?
Thinking of that, Yumo suddenly froze before abruptly propping herself up from the rock, startling both Limo and Liyu.
“Mother? What’s wrong? Is the massage uncomfortable?”
“N-No, that’s not it. I just realized... where’s Saiboke?”
“Eh??”
Hearing that, both sisters froze simultaneously before staring blankly at each other.
After several seconds of stunned silence—
The two girls suddenly realized something.
Liyu abruptly slapped her little hand against her forehead.
“Oh no! We were in such a hurry coming back earlier that we left him behind at Northern Edge!!”
—
Meanwhile, in the northern region of the Great Winter Forest—
As the nighttime temperature rapidly plummeted, a certain white-haired middle-aged man crouching inside a tree hollow had already nearly frozen into a dog. freewёbnoνel.com
As the elegant butler Saiboke, he no longer cared about maintaining any so-called refined composure. Deep inside his heart, he was already viciously cursing those two heartless girls, Limo and Liyu...
Wndmd.
Wait?
No, hold on.
Insulting them like that somehow didn’t feel quite right either...
