DEMONIC-ANGEL

"Everyone has come here from far and wide to attend the academy, and most people didn't get time to bathe. So, everyone's heading to the hot spring now," Chiyoko explained.

"Okay, Let's go!"

As they made their way towards the hot spring bath, Chionko's mind buzzed with questions. "Aoto-kun, you're from Japan, right?"

"Yeah, so what?" Aoto replied casually.

"I was just thinking, since we're both from Same World and Same Nation, why do you have a slave? There were no demons or magic in our world," Chionko questioned, his curiosity piqued.

Scarlett's heart raced 'Gulp! Fuck, I didn't even think of this. This little shit is gonna expose us,' her eyebrows shooting up in shock.

"Hahaha," Aoto chuckled, trying to maintain his composure. "You were a common man, right? Common people don't know about this, but I come from a big family, and our ancestors were royals. That's why very few people knew about the existence of demons."

"You mean dark secrets of society?" Chionko asked, seeking clarification.

"Exactly, that's what I'm trying to say," Aoto affirmed smoothly.

Scarlett couldn't help but admire Aoto's skill in deception. 'Damn, no one can beat him in lying. Look at his face, his expression is as if he is the most truthful person,' Scarlett thought, surprised and impressed by Aoto's ability.

"That'so cool, I wish I had a slave like Nova-san." Chiyoko chuckled but Scarlett like his words because he was indirectly saying that he want Scarlett.

Within a few seconds, they arrived at the hot spring bath.

"Aoto-kun, let's go take a bath," Chiyoko suggested.

As they prepared to head to the boy's bathroom, Chiyoko hesitated, then turned to Scarlett. "Wait a minute, Nova-san. Why are you coming with us? You should go to the girls' bath."

Scarlett felt a surge of panic, memories of her past experiences flooding back. She recalled moments in the red-light district, where she started getting excited down there after seeing Almost Naked Prostitutes.

With dread gripping him, Scarlett's world teetered on the edge of collapse. Meanwhile, Aoto's eyes twinkled mischievously, his lips pressed tightly together to stifle his laughter. Despite his efforts, a flush crept onto his cheeks from containing his mirth.

"He's right, you can't follow your master everywhere. Go enjoy yourself a little," Aoto remarked, his tone laced with subtle mockery.

"Y-eah, if you say so, m-a-s-ter," Scarlett stammered, his voice trembling with anxiety and anger of betrayal from aoto.

As they parted ways, Scarlett and Aoto made their respective journeys to the boys' and girls' bathhouses. Upon reaching the changing room of the girls' bath, Scarlett felt a wave of relief wash over her as she realized it was empty, everyone else having already gone to the hot spring.

Walking in circles, Scarlett's nerves took hold. "What should I do... what should I do... what should I do..." She muttered anxiously.

The thought of undressing and exposing herself to the girls sent shivers down Scarlett's spine. "Fuck, I'm getting nervous just thinking about it," he cursed inwardly.

"And then there's my eyes," Scarlett mused. "Everyone will question why I have such eyes. I've heard mages can see by spreading their mana onto surfaces without even opening their eyes, but I don't know how to use mana."

But despite her worries, Scarlett resigned herself to fate. "Fuck, I don't care. We'll see whatever happens," she resolved, bracing herself for whatever lay ahead.

She shed her garments one by one, a sense of vulnerability creeping over him as he removed her blindfold, revealing her unique eyes, Wrapping a towel around herself, she steeled her resolve and stepped into the girl's bath. Before her , a tableau unfolded, a mosaic of femininity and grace as the other bathers lounged in the warm waters, their laughter and conversation filling the air with a soothing melody.

The bathhouse itself was a marvel of architecture, adorned with intricate carvings and embellishments that spoke of a rich cultural heritage.

A vast chamber filled with steaming hot spring water. The air was thick with the scent of fragrant herbs and flowers, adding to the ambiance of relaxation. The water itself was crystal clear, reflecting the soft glow of lanterns suspended from the ceiling.

Around the edges of the bath, stone benches and intricately carved pillars provided places for the bathers to sit and relax. Luxurious towels and robes were neatly folded nearby, inviting the guests to pamper themselves after their soak.

As for the bathers themselves, the scene was a vibrant tapestry of diversity. Nobles and commoners alike mingled freely, their differences forgotten in the soothing embrace of the hot spring water. Laughter and chatter filled the air as the girls shared stories and gossip, forming bonds that transcended social status.

Even the princess herself could be found among the bathers, her regal demeanor set aside as she soaked in the warmth of the water alongside her peers. Here, in the sanctuary of the hot spring bath, all were equal, united by a shared desire for relaxation and rejuvenation.

As Scarlett's eyes took in the sight of all the girls in the bath, her face burned crimson with embarrassment. 'Princess? That loli girl too... They're all naked,' she thought, feeling the heat rise in his cheeks.

'I shouldn't get excited. It's time to become serious, serious,' she muttered to herself, attempting to quell the rising tide of arousal.

However, her efforts were in vain as soon as everyone noticed his presence. All eyes turned to Scarlett, and whispers rippled through the bathhouse.

"Whoa, isn't she the slave of the hero? Look at those unique eyes. She wore a blindfold during the duel, so I couldn't see them."

"This is the first time I saw something like this, is her eyes are some special effects or what?, They look so monstrous and beautiful at same time."

"Check out her muscles too. She's making me blush, even though she's a woman."

'Why are they all staring at me?' Scarlett wondered, feeling increasingly flustered by the attention.

"I'm starting to feel excited. If this keeps up, everyone will find out," she realized, her feet trembling with a mix of nerves and anticipation.

She was going towards a area where no famels had but suddenly the princess appears in front of Scarlett.

"Hello, you're Scarlett Nova, right? I'm Ingrassia. You must have seen me at the entrance ceremony," she greeted.

"Yes, how could anyone not know you," Scarlett replied.

"Awww, don't be so formal. We're both girls, you do look older but please talk to me as a friend. How about we bath together?" the princess suggested.

"Uhhh, okay, I guess," Scarlett agreed.

As they entered the water, Elminia also approached them.

"What are you doing here with the princess?" she questioned with her usual attitude.

"Yo, child! Even after being beaten so much, your attitude didn't change," Scarlett retorted.

Elminia shifted uncomfortably, her gaze avoiding theirs as her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "W-what attitude? You must have cheated. But I'll forgive you this time because of Aoto-sama."

"Turn around, Nova-san. I'll wash your back," princess offered.

Since she couldn't say no so she has to agree, As the princess washed Scarlett's back and Asta tried to contain her excitement, but then princess offered her protection.

"If anyone says anything bad to you, just talk to me. I'll punish them," the princess assured.

"Hahaha, I'm counting on you then," Scarlett chuckled.

"And you too, Elminia-san. Don't pick fights with Nova-san. How about the three of us become friends?" the princess proposed.

Elminia couldn't refuse the princess's offer, and they all agreed to become friends.

"Nova-san, I was thinking, how did you build such muscles? Even your breasts are bigger than mine," the princess remarked as she started squeezing her breast but Scarlett couldn't be able to hold back if she did something like this any longer so she caught her hand and gently place away.

Princess ingrassia was about to question that did why she placed her hands away but before she could ask, Elminia started her own topic.

"Even your eyes are unique, with different colors. You sure are from a royal bloodline," Elminia added.

"If you're from a royal family, why are you a slave to someone?" Elminia asked, curious.

"Easy-easy... so many questions at once. You could say many things happened and I became Aoto's slave. As for these eyes and muscles, I was born with them," Scarlett replied, maintaining her composed facade.

'Fufufu... I am no less than aoto,when it comes to lying.' she couldn't help but praise herself.

Their conversation continued, and after some time, they all left the bathhouse together.

"Let's meet tomorrow in class," the princess suggested.

"Okay," Scarlett replied, waving her hand as they parted ways.

After putting his clothes back on, Scarlett's stepped out and met Aoto outside. They walked back to their dorm room together.

"So, Asta, did anything happen while you were bathing?" Aoto asked teasingly.

"Nah, man, I managed to hold back," Scarlett replied casually.

"Huh? No fun. That's why you're still a virgin. I taught you 1001 techniques for how to satisfy a woman in bed, but all you ever talked about was using them on your future wife."

"And look at you now, you've become your own type of girl," he continued, teasing Scarlett.

"Shut up and sleep, Aoto," She replied, brushing off her friend's comments.

Like the previous night, they slept in the same bed, and soon it was morning.

"Knock... knock... Aoto-kun, are you in there? Good morning," voice came from the outside.

Aoto, still half asleep, grumbled at the disturbance, prompting Scarlett to open the door.

"Why the fuck are you disturbing my sleep?" As soon as Scarlett opens the door, Scarlett groggily demanded .

Chiyoko Hiiro and some of his friends were standing outside, but their expressions quickly turned to shock upon seeing something unexpected.

Chiyoko shifted uncomfortably, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment, and his friends began to suffer nosebleeds.

"Why are you naked, Nova-san?" Chiyoko asked, closing his eyes in embarrassment.

Scarlett, realizing he was completely naked, he still remained calm. "Oh, I forgot again,that I have a habit of undressing while sleeping," she admitted casually.

Chiyoko was taken aback. "Why are you saying this so casually? Aren't you embarrassed to show your naked body to boys?"

Scarlett paused, then shrugged. "What's there to be ashamed of?" Then,she remembered her current form. "Oh, right, okay, I'll put some clothes on."

She stepped back inside, waking up Aoto in the process. They both changed into fresh clothes together while Chiyoko and his friends waited outside.

"We changed, you can all come in," Scarlett invited.

Chiyoko, eager to smooth over any awkwardness, introduced his friends with a bright smile. "These are my friends, Pasperot, Siegfried, and Deviath. We're all excited to get to know you better, Nova-san."

Pasperot, with an easy grin, extended his hand. "Pleasure to meet you, Nova-san. We're here to make sure you feel welcome."

Siegfried, more reserved but earnest, nodded politely. "It's an honor to meet you. Chiyoko has told us a great deal about your remarkable arrival."

Deviath, quiet and observant, simply offered a respectful nod, his eyes briefly meeting Scarlett's before shifting away, as if to maintain decorum.

The light-hearted comment about escalating their friendship to lovers came from Pasperot, who chuckled at his own boldness. This drew a sharp glance from Scarlett, her patience clearly tested by the remark.

' the fuck....lovers? I want to beat them up, but I don't want to ruin my day.'

"It's not the time to talk about something like that. I came here so that we could all go to class together," Chiyoko interjected energetically.

Scarlett, managing to keep her cool despite her irritation, addressed the group with a firm tone. "Thanks for the welcome but just what Chiyoko said, let's focus on why we're here—for our studies

Aoto, sensing the tension, added with a reassuring smile, "Right, let's head to class. We can all get to know each other better along the way."
