Green struggled to free himself from Aloof's chest, only to find Yuzuriha standing at the door, glaring at him with extreme displeasure.
Ah... Should I consider myself saved or regretful in this situation?...
Under Yuzuriha's gaze, Aloof released Green and sighed in frustration. "Ugh, here to ruin my fun again!"
"I knew it. Green, this princess is just a shallow pond. Let's leave here quickly," Yuzuriha said sarcastically, which immediately irritated Aloof.
"Who are you calling a shallow pond?!"
"You."
"Say it again."
"Shallow pond."
"You...!"
Aloof's face turned red from Yuzuriha's words, but she hesitated to act because she knew she was no match for Yuzuriha. Green couldn't help but admire Yuzuriha's domineering side. Aloof was completely defenseless against her. It's impressive for a legal loli who has lived for over three hundred years.
"Green, were you thinking something impolite just now?"
"Uh... cough, no way! Alright, alright, calm down, you two. Yuzuriha, don't worry, Aloof knows her boundaries and won't overstep them... probably..."
"..."
Yuzuriha silenced for a moment, lowered her hand prepared to release magic, and silently returned to the next room.
Aloof pouted in dissatisfaction, made a couple of bored hums, and proceeded to walk out of the room. Green hurriedly followed her.
"Where are you going?"
"Bathroom."
"Oh, to take a bath... Ah!"
Green instinctively covered his mouth and nose, as if he had a sensation of red liquid flowing out of his body. Aloof found it amusing and said in an extremely unfamiliar and unnatural tone,
"Do you... want to come with me?"
"No."
"Huh?..."
Aloof was taken aback by Green's decisive answer. She thought her charm wasn't that low, but she didn't expect Green to remain unaffected by the temptation of the bathroom.
At that moment, Green turned his head and whispered an explanation.
"If I choose to go, I will definitely succumb to your charm. If something were to happen then, it would tarnish your reputation. I don't want to hear people talking behind your back."
"..."
Aloof didn't expect to receive such an answer and couldn't help but feel a little pleased. Then Green turned his head again and said with a serious and solemn tone,
"I want to marry you openly. That way, if anyone dares to gossip about you, I can beat them up without feeling guilty."
"I see..."
"Is... that not okay?"
"No," Aloof shook her head, "It's just that... Green is a bit different from what I imagined. In a way... he's... handsome."
In the moonlight, a radiant smile appeared on Aloof's face.
Green was not used to being praised, although it was only from people close to him, but Aloof happened to be one of those people. So Green felt a little elated and his face turned slightly red.
Although he didn't say anything, just smiled, Green couldn't help but think narcissistically: It seems that I'm quite handsome. Yes, that must be it!
Suddenly, Green felt more confident.
"Oh, by the way, do you want to invite Mio and Yuzuriha to join us? It'll be a great opportunity to strengthen our bond... Ah! Please forget what I just said!"
Seeing Aloof's smile disappear from her face, Green quickly changed his words, but it was too late. Fortunately, Aloof was an understanding girl - at least that's what Green thought - and she ultimately agreed to Green's suggestion, inviting the two love rivals to bathe together.And Green silently stood outside.
Looking at the moon on the dark night curtain, Green's mind was not the scene of the girls playing around in the bathroom, but the scene of destroying the demon cult's stronghold during the day.
The dirty smell exuded by those demon clans and the information inadvertently obtained from Yuzuriha made Green suddenly feel that being obsessed with finding Kakaka may not be a good thing.
On the other hand, King Fred sat in the room, also contemplating the moonlit sky. At this time, his wife, Gillian, walked over and placed a cup of tea in front of Fred.
"What are you thinking about again?"
"I'm thinking, is it really okay to hand Aloof over to him - such a thing."
"Hehe, at least he can make Aloof smile, that's already enough, right?"
"You're right, but I still..."
"Oh my, back then when Aloof went to Zion, you weren't so stubborn. Now that Aloof has finally come back, and also found such a reliable boyfriend, what are you hesitating about?"
"I..."
"Just shut up, you perverted daughter-complex!"
"What, daughter-complex! The father's concern for his daughter is normal care and love... Is there anything perverted about the relationship between father and daughter?!"
Fred saw Gillian's mocking face and his face turned red in an instant, but Gillian's dissatisfaction in her tone did not weaken at all, on the contrary, the mockery on her face became even stronger.
"Hehe, that Yulia brat is the same, following your bad influence."
"That is... that is..."
"What is it?"
"..."
Fred took a sip of tea with guilt, and finally succumbed to Gillian's demands, but he still struggled to explain:
"Alright, it's my fault... but it's also for Aloof's sake!"
"It would be best if you can stop Aloof's thoughts - by the way, isn't that Yulia kid coming back soon? Did you explain the situation about Aloof's little boyfriend to him?"
"No..."
"..."
Gillian froze for a moment. She could already anticipate that when her son, Yulia, returned to the city, with his character, he would definitely be beaten up.
Time passed slowly like this, and Aloof, Mio, and Yuzuriha had finished bathing.
Except for the clothes made from the sealing stone that Mio wore, Aloof and Yuzuriha changed into the clothes prepared by the maid, and then returned with Green along the same path as before.
The relationship between the three of them seemed to have improved slightly. Although it couldn't be considered great, at least they could communicate without fighting anymore.
And Mio could also have normal communication with the two of them. Green thought it was a good sign.
Not only that, the fruity scent on the three of them was really refreshing.
Finally, they all went to separate rooms. Green and Aloof slept on the same bed, and Aloof gave up on tempting Green. After taking a bath, she quickly fell asleep and didn't wake up until the next morning -
"!?"
Green woke up the next day and found that the number of people on the originally two-person bed had doubled.
At this moment, Yuzuriha murmured softly on Green's body, then gently turned and faced her, her face resting on Green's chest, as if using Green's body as a bed.
Not only that, it seemed that Yuzuriha's voice had alarmed the two people next to her. Mio and Aloof also turned over and hugged Green's arms from left and right.
Then, Green's body was tightly "locked" by the three people from three different angles.
At this moment, Green looked at the three sleepy and lovely faces, with countless thoughts and mixed feelings in his mind, like a raging wave, ultimately converging into a human language:
- Oh no, I'm screwed!
