It's... hard to imagine, such a delicate body.

"Sister, why is your neck so red?" Cascia said without hesitation. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"Sis...sister is fine," trembling, I said, "it's just that my skin is more sensitive."

Cascia let out a comfortable ripple, then slowly, little by little, immersed her whole body in the hot spring.

"Hehe," Cascia shrunk her body and smiled, "I'm a bit afraid of the heat."

Cascia soaked in the water, moved her limbs first, and then, feeling her way, came to sit beside me.

Because only my position had stone steps underneath for sitting, otherwise if one crouched, the whole person would be submerged in the water. So, naturally, the daughter came close to me and slowly sat down.

So smooth! So smooth! So smooth!

Dad can't take it anymore!

"Hehe." Cascia leaned towards me, "Let's bathe together, sister, you don't mind, do you?"

"N-no, I don't mind!"

Cascia stretched her arm, seemingly a little tired.

"I was so sleepy just now, but now I don't feel like sleeping anymore," she lazily said, "taking a bath might make me feel better."

"Bathing is good, bathing is good, it gets the blood circulating," I hurriedly nodded.

Now, in the night sky, countless stars formed a continuous galaxy.

And this beautiful scenery, at this moment, only the two of us, father and daughter, were enjoying it alone.

!

But just as I was moved, it seemed like a gust of wind blew by and the nearby leaves swayed.

Cascia, alert, quickly turned to look behind her, but after confirming that there was no one, she relaxed.

"I thought it was Dad coming down from the mountain," she still looked suspicious, "Lisa, you should be careful, Dad is a big pervert, you know."

...Dad is a big pervert?

As for me, under the influence of the swirling mist, I happened to calm down a little.

"Cough cough." I coughed twice, "C-Cascia, it's not good to say that about your handsome dad."

How could Dad be a pervert? Even the daughter who was raised so painstakingly whispers about him behind his back. No, this won't do, I need to educate her properly.

"Is it no good?" Cascia placed her index finger against her chin, "But what I'm saying is true."

...

"Anyway." I suddenly took on a serious tone, "A father definitely loves his daughter. Whatever Dad does, it's for the good of his daughter, that's undeniable!"

However, my words seemed to have no effect on Cascia.

"Well... let's not talk about that boring stuff anymore." My daughter suddenly came closer and looked at me expectantly, "Sister, could you tell me stories about the outside world since you came from there?"

Cascia grew up in Shiloh and always felt curious about the outside world.

"Stories about the outside world, huh." I suddenly revealed a cunning smile, "The outside world is actually very scary, you know? There are wild beasts that no one cares about, land dragons that eat people, bandits who capture girls and take them to the mountains as tools for gratifying themselves, too many things!"

After hearing me say that, Cascia seemed a little scared.

"Dad also told me that... it feels so scary."

"Of course!" I felt somewhat righteous, "Girls should stay with their family, with their dad, it's better not to think about going elsewhere and wandering around."

"What about you, Sister? Did you come from the outside too?" Cascia followed up, "Why are you alone?"

"Because I came with a traveling merchant," I made up a reason, "I was with a big group of people, so it's fine."

"I see." She seemed a bit disappointed.

"Yeah, that's right." I immediately agreed.

"Lisa, your hair is so beautiful."

My daughter, who had lost interest in the adventure topic, was now attracted to my special red hair.

This brat!

However, it was at this moment that Cascia seemed to have discovered something.

She reached out numbly and picked up the pendant from my chest.

"Dad's thing." My daughter looked at me, "Why is it with you, Sister?"
