"I heard a cute girl came to our house! Where is she! Where!"
Inaba Tsukiyo, soaking in the bathtub, heard the sound of the door opening along with Miku's excited voice, and her expression changed.
One reason she had agreed to bathe with Natsumi and the others was that Miku was out and not home. After all, this girl barging in while others were bathing wasn't a one-time or two-time occurrence.
"Calm down, Miku! And since when did this become your house? Don't cause trouble!"
"I'm not causing trouble. And Nia, why are you kneeling on the ground? What does this sign even mean?"
"Never mind that! Just don't scare her! She's very shy. If you do this, be careful or Tsukiyo-chan will deal with you!"
"She won't. I know very well. Even though Tsukiyo-chan talks about punishing me, she never really uses much force. At most, it's just a gentle pat. Mmm~ I can feel it. I feel Tsukiyo-chan is nearby."
'Oh no!'
Miku's words made Inaba Tsukiyo feel uneasy. Kurumi and Natsumi, lacking her keen hearing, hadn't noticed Miku's arrival yet.
Although she wanted to stop Miku from coming, Miku was faster than she imagined. The moment she stood up from the bathtub, the bathroom door was flung open.
Miku stood there, looking excitedly at the three people in the bathroom. The sight of Inaba Tsukiyo without a towel especially made her eyes light up.
"This... this is heaven!"
How long had it been? How long had she lived here? She had never encountered such a situation before. Today, she finally got her chance.
Although Miku had moved in later, everyone knew about her... inclinations. So when bathing or doing other private things, everyone was careful to guard against Miku's intrusions.
Especially regarding bathing, everyone had become extremely cautious. Every time they bathed, they either locked the door or used their abilities to set traps at the entrance.
She remembered one time Miku even tried to enter through the bathroom window from outside. Of course, she was discovered by Inaba Tsukiyo, then tied up, hung from the ceiling, and tickled with a feather for a long, long time.
She thought Miku had learned her lesson, but it turned out she was just waiting for an opportunity to strike when everyone was off guard.
It had to be said, she succeeded. And she did it while they were bathing.
But... the price for doing this was very high.
"Wuwu~ I didn't even do anything. Why did you hit me?"
Miku, with a cross-shaped bandage on her head, puffed out her cheeks and looked at Inaba Tsukiyo with dissatisfaction.
Clearly, she hadn't done anything. Why hit her? And why hit her on the head?
"I hit you to make you understand what you can and cannot do. I don't want to see you picking locks again, and I certainly don't want to see you barging in while others are bathing."
Tapping Miku on the head and glaring fiercely at the unrepentant girl, Inaba Tsukiyo pulled the hiding Natsumi out from behind her.
"The reason I called you back in such a hurry this time is to have you look at Natsumi's problem. Due to long-term neglect, her skin and hair quality are very poor. As the person here with the best makeup skills, see how you can fix it."
"Oh? So this is the child Tsukiyo-chan brought back? Hmm~ The problem is indeed quite serious."
Miku put away her pout and seriously examined Natsumi's condition. She touched Natsumi's skin, then her hair, her eyes thoughtful as if considering something.
Just like a doctor diagnosing an illness, Miku needed to conduct a thorough examination before offering her opinion.
Natsumi also looked at Miku nervously, somewhat like a patient awaiting results, afraid the doctor would deliver a terminal diagnosis and say she didn't have long to live.
As she touched, Miku's hands began to wander, slipping into Natsumi's clothes and moving towards a certain sensitive area.
*Smack!*
A sharp strike. Inaba Tsukiyo didn't even think before hitting Miku, making tears well up in Miku's eyes as she clutched the struck spot, crouching on the ground holding her head.
"Mou~ That hurts, Tsukiyo-chan. I even canceled my later schedule to rush back as soon as possible. And this is how Tsukiyo-chan treats me. It's so heartbreaking."
"I might believe that story if you could actually squeeze out some tears. Besides, the first thing you did upon returning was to watch us bathe, wasn't it? Did you also want to join us?"
Inaba Tsukiyo said coldly. She knew Miku's little schemes all too well. It felt somewhat similar to how Kiana acted around Mei.
It's just that Kiana's figure is completely incomparable to Miku's. You know, Miku's bra is as big as Kurumi's head.
(fuhai: So I just want to know, is Kurumi's head too small? Or is Miku's bra really too big?)
"If I could, of course I'd want to bathe with you all."
Miku said softly, but even in such a low voice, Inaba Tsukiyo heard her clearly.
"Hm?"
"No, no. I didn't say anything, didn't say anything at all."
Miku shook her head, quickly stood up, cleared her throat a few times, and explained.
"Her problem isn't too bad; her hair quality hasn't reached the point of no repair. With a little time and care, it can become as good as Tsukiyo-chan's and Yoshino's. Of course, the skin too."
As the adorable representatives of the household, Yoshino and Inaba Tsukiyo's skin could be described as delicate and flawless, making Natsumi wonder if she could also become like that.
"However, to quickly restore healthy skin, all I need to do is give her a treatment. After all... girls can 'transform,' and even Boys can become very cute."
