After making sure the people at the alley entrance had left, La Luna obediently went back to Itefeil’s side.

“Heh heh heh… You little rascal…”

Itefeil pulled La Luna into a tight hug, feeling utterly exhausted. It wasn’t the exercise that had worn her out; it was the way La Luna had acted just now, as if she were playing with her, that left Itefeil emotionally drained.

Once they were out of the alley, Itefeil ran all the way to her home without looking back. It didn’t take long for her to reach a safe area.

When she got home, Itefeil wearily washed her hands first. Then, frowning, she sniffed herself and La Luna.

Ugh, they both reeked of urine.

Just thinking about it made Itefeil’s anger flare up.

“Whatever. I’ll take a bath tonight. Once I officially take office tomorrow, I’ll make sure you all regret it…”

Itefeil resentfully turned it over in her mind as she started changing. La Luna, curled up nearby, perked right up.

(Oh! She’s in great shape.)

Itefeil’s hair wasn’t long, and she usually tied it up and hid it beneath her hat. Let loose, it just barely reached past her chest. It had grown a little wavy from being tied up for so long, and wearing it down made her look much more mature.

As Itefeil took off her uniform, La Luna got a glimpse of her athletic build. Her skin was surprisingly fair, though the skin on her face and hands was noticeably darker, perhaps from years on patrol.

(I didn’t expect her to be wearing this little-girl-style tie-fastened undergarment.)

La Luna watched as Itefeil untied the knot behind her neck and took off the garment.

(Well, she certainly seems to be in good shape.)

More than anything else, though, Itefeil’s muscular build caught La Luna’s eye.

(Those shoulders have both a feminine softness and an impressive strength to them. And she’s got a toned midsection, with no excess weight around her waist. Her build is balanced, her hips are full, and her legs are slender but clearly strong. She isn’t too thin or carrying extra weight—she looks full of energy!)

Wonderful！！ What a sight. If Itefeil were from Earth, she’d make a wonderful model!

Once she was changed, Itefeil went to the bathtub and filled it with water. Then she heated it with magic, and before long, steam was rising from the bath.

(Ooh! The misty air and the warm glow of the bath make such a beautiful scene!)

In that instant, La Luna had already imagined more than a hundred artistic close-ups. There was no denying that women’s beauty offered endless inspiration for art—a true gift from the gods to humanity!

Itefeil had only been soaking for a short while when she suddenly seemed to remember something and stood up. She sent water splashing across the surface, and La Luna’s imagination immediately started running wild again.

“La Luna, come wash up too. You stink, and you’re just standing there spacing out.”

As she spoke, Itefeil picked La Luna up and brought her into the bath with her.

Only then did La Luna realize what was happening.

M-M-M-Mrow!!!!

(Let me go!! Cats hate water!!!)
