Chapter 54: The Succubus's Bath is Full of Danger... Or So It Seems?

My ears are still trembling; it was so... so horrible.

"Ugh, sniff... it was awful... I can't get married now..."

"But you looked so cute and seemed to enjoy it so much, you'll have plenty of suitors, right?"

"I was so embarrassed! To go through something like that..."

"Besides... I'll make you my wife ♡ Or would you prefer me to be your husband ♡?"

"Ugh, that was... a metaphor, you know..."

When she whispers something like that in my ear, I can't help but shiver.

Perhaps it's a reaction to everything that's happened so far, but this succubus is closing the distance too quickly...

She's probably trying to seriously corrupt my heart, and I feel like I've already fallen.

"The other baths... ugh... even looking at them again, it's quite a lineup..."

"Next...well, how about this one?"

"This one... that one..."

She pointed to...a white bath filled with thick, viscous liquid.

A bath with a thick, cloudy white liquid, something I'd only ever seen in erotic books.

In short, it was a semen bath.

"I'll get pregnant! I absolutely shouldn't get in!"

"Hehe, surely they're not actually using semen? I mean, if you heated this much semen, it would smell awful and you'd notice, right?"

"That's true... then the naming sense is terrible..."

Just to try it, I dipped my toes in, and the thick liquid was just the right temperature. Perhaps it was slightly cooler than the other baths because they were afraid of burns if the highly viscous liquid was overheated?

I cautiously and slowly immersed myself, my body sinking with a thud. Splashes of water hit my face, creating a rather criminal scene.

"The effects are burns, improved skin texture, relief from back pain... no, that's pretty normal, isn't it?"

"More or less, the main use is to submerge our favorite girl in a bath of semen-like fluid and imprint her erotic figure in our memories, right ♡"

"That's just awful taste..."

I avoided looking at Lux's narrowed eyes and immersed myself again in the bathtub. It was thick and slimy, and I couldn't see anything inside... but the gazes of the other Succubi in the bath were so blatant that I didn't know where to hide.

"Those Succubi, they are definitely watching... even I can tell, you know?"

They didn't seem to be trying very hard to hide their gazes, though.

"And there's one thing I'm allowed to do only in this bath... here goes! ♡"

"Pfft!? A water gun using this is the worst!"

A thick, white liquid smears all over my cheek. It's sticky and disgusting... Why do succubi always put all their effort into that kind of thing?

"Come on Lux, let's go to the next bath!"

"Huh? I wanted to enjoy it a little longer ♡"

Shaking the white liquid off my hair, I stand up to get into the next bathtub.

In the end, I can't ask what kind of liquid it is... it's too scary, right?

"Next... how about a slime bath?"

"Rejected. I can see the same punchline as with the tentacles... a running gag won't work, you know?"

"Huh?! N-no, that's not true..."

"That reaction definitely means something's up. Besides, we have a pink one here, don't we?"

Then we headed towards a bath that was white, but unlike before, the water was clear enough to see through. This literally milky white bath was...

"A milk bath, huh? It's a bath that's been getting a lot of buzz for being really good for your skin, you know ♡"

"Well, it certainly sounds good, but..."

As I dipped my toes into the bath, I could hear people around me gulping.

Looking attractive isn't always a good thing, of course... but I'm enjoying this situation too, so I can't really say anything.

In other words... I might be getting used to being seen as sexy object by the people around me.

"By the way, what kind of bath is this...?"

"What kind? It's milk, you know? See, there's a video playing, right?"

"Video...?"

Time seemed to stop for a moment when I saw the notice posted on the wall that read "Today's Staff."

What was shown there was undoubtedly a human face...

"Ah... ah...!?"

The girl with horns was making a double peace sign and smiling sweetly at me.

"Manufacturing broadcast"... surely, surely, that's what it meansit means.

"W-well, I... I'm getting out...!"

"Oh my? But, but..."

She grabbed my shoulder tightly. I could have shaken her off if I wanted to...

"Shizuku-chan, your face looks like you're very curious..."

"That's not true!"

"You don't get opportunities like this very often, do you? Are you really sure...?"

Even though I'm so strong, for some reason, I couldn't shake her off at that moment.

"Imagine? What kind of feelings did this child have when she made this bath... Hehe, aren't you starting to enjoy it?"

"O-okay, I get it. Just, just for a little while..."

I slowly immersed myself in the bathtub again. The faintly sweet scent and the smooth liquid... now that she mentioned it, it certainly had a unique quality.

"We also have chilled bottle versions, you know? It's delicious to drink after a bath, but...drinking it while soaking is also a sophisticated way to enjoy it."

"Well then...I'll have some..."

My face is burning, and I'm filled with a feeling of doubt—is this really okay?—and a pounding heart, making me shiver uncontrollably.

The bottle of white liquid I received couldn't possibly be ordinary milk. It even had a picture of a face with its eyes obscured pasted on it.

I couldn't keep the sign in my line of sight any longer, so I took the bottle and looked away—then my chin was grabbed.

"W-what...?"

"Don't look away! ♡ Can you enjoy looking at the face of the girl who made it?"

With an atmosphere that made refusal impossible, I slowly brought the milk bottle to my lips.

"Mmm..."

The taste was definitely not that of a cow, but it was undeniably different from human milk as well. Perhaps it was a magical property, but it had a slightly sweet taste, and I swallowed it.

"Ahhh..."

"Good job, you drank it well ♡"

Even as my head was stroked affectionately, I couldn't take my eyes off the girl in the screen.

Although there was no sound, the girl on the screen looked incredibly happy...

My heart was pounding. The thought of being in her place... it wouldn't stop ringing in my ears.

I'm sure I would have been incredibly...

"Oh dear, you seem to be getting a little lightheaded? Let's go outside and get some fresh air."

"Y-yes...♡"

Before I knew it, I was being helped up from the bath, which was up to my shoulders... and headed towards the direction of the open-air bath.

I no longer had the luxury of caring about the stares of those around me...

★

I sat slumped on the bench outside the bathhouse. How much time had passed? Finally, the heat in my body subsided... and I slowly stood up.

"Oh? Are you done already?"

"Yes, my body's starting to get cold."

Lux was smiling happily at me, and I felt embarrassed that she was watching me, so I looked for the bathtub to escape.

"Oh, you have to wear a bathing suit in that bath, you know?"

"That's unusual, isn't it? But this is..."

If it's the rule, I'll follow it, but of all things, why...

"A swimsuit, and why a school swimsuit?"

"Because it's the hottest swimsuit in the Succubus world right now, you know? It's beautiful because you can't see... This is art, isn't it?"

It seemed like the human world had corrupted them, and a strange trend was spreading.

I think a normal tunic would be fine...

The bath, with its floating bright red, unfamiliar flowers, offered quite a spectacular view... it was designed to give a panoramic view of the Succubus city. Looking at it this way, it's developed incredibly.

Perhaps that's why we needed to wear bathing suits. It felt strange to be wearing a swimsuit to take a bath, but I put my legs into the hot water.

"Ah... that feels good, doesn't it? And its effects are... it's good for blood circulation and loss of appetite..."

Indeed, I feel my body warming up.

But everyone's faces are bright red... isn't it a little too hot?　　

"Hey... Lux? What kind of flower is that?"

"It's called an Alluring Flower... it's a flower with aphrodisiac effects."

"...What?!"

I involuntarily asked again, did I mishear?

No, I thought something was strange about my body... so for Succubi, this means...!

"Hehe, Shizuku-chan, you're quite the oddball, aren't you?"

"No, I didn't know!? Let's get out of here quickly..."

"I think it's probably too late now, though?"

The moment I tried to stand up, I almost collapsed to the ground and fell into Lux's chest.

I just realized now, the reason my body is so hot...it's not because of the temperature...♡

"Your legs are shaking so much you can't stand up, right?"

"Let me up...♡"

"Wearing a swimsuit here is because it's too effective on sensitive spots♡ Your partner will slowly rub it in over your swimsuit and prepare you, you know?"

"I... I didn't know that...♡"

A warmth spreads deep inside my stomach, and my head is spinning...

It's bad to stay here any longer. Even the succubi around me are blushing from the effect...!

"Now, slowly inhale the steam... and exhale... your whole body feels warm, doesn't it?"

"Ah... oh...♡"

"You're so stubborn... but that's what makes you cute and wonderful, you know?"

While still being held in her arms, her long, slender fingers slowly stroked the nape of my neck... then scooped up some water and poured it over my shoulders.

I could feel the steam invading my airways... my lungs.

"Like this... rubbing it against your swimsuit... how does that feel? Let's get you used to it slowly, very slowly."

"Ah, no... stop... ughh..."

"Are you trying to beg? You don't have to be so teasing... I'll give you plenty of love later, you know?"

She continued to rub it against my body through my swimsuit, letting the water soak in.

"Your armpits absorb it well too, look... tickle tickle~♡"

"Hehe, ahaha♡ That tickles... mmm♡"

The bathwater was splashing, and my body was so hot I couldn't move properly...

"I'll stroke your tummy like this too♡ Oh my, you look so happy... so cute♡"

"Hehe, my tummy ♡ Being stroked... makes me feel safe..."

I have to run away... why? It feels so, so good.

"Your thighs are so soft... Let's play until your thighs become sensitive too, shall we?"

"Uh, yes ♡ Lux... I love you ♡"

"Hehe, I love you too, Shizuku-chan ♡"

If I leave myself to Lux... I'll be happy...

"Oh my, are you excited? It's so obvious even through your swimsuit... ♡ I'll rub it all over here too ♡"

"Uh... it's tingling..."

My body... is tingling... and it feels so good...

"Lux... please? I... can't hold back...♡"

"Oh, but the real thing isn't allowed, okay? That kind of thing is supposed to be done in that... Succubus-style sauna, you know?"

"Is... that right?"

"That's right ♡ It has a detoxifying effect, so it's very popular with girls. There are lots of girls who get addicted to it...♡"

Lux carried me in a princess carry... and I got out of the bathtub.

The scent of a girl wafted through the air... beyond the wooden door.

I have to turn back, or something will go wrong.

Absolutely... no. I know that going in here... is wrong, but...

"Hehe, let's hurry up... Lux ♡"

"Oh, Shizuku-chan, you're such a naughty girl... I'll spoil you until you cry ♡"

If it feels good, anything is fine ♡

With that hasty conclusion, the door slammed shut.
