The girls present did not notice Noah's whereabouts in time.
However, seeing Vera suddenly turn her back without any warning, all the girls became suspicious.
"Miss Vera?" Black Rabbit called out tentatively.
"What's wrong?"
"You aren't planning to hit someone with a blunt weapon again, are you?" Asuka's tone was extremely displeased.
"Let me make this clear first. If it happens again, I absolutely will lose my temper."
Yao said nothing, but nodded repeatedly in strong agreement.
"I don't know whether you'll lose your temper or not." Pest spoke rather maliciously.
"But if you strip down like that and still bring a hammer into the bath, then even if you get hit, you deserve it."
"D-Don't say that!" Aisha protested.
"E-Even Vera wouldn't bring a blunt weapon into the bathhouse, right?"
Aisha said that with very little confidence, prompting both Asuka and Yao to cast disdainful looks at her.
"Come on, since ancient times, haven't people bathing in the same pool always put aside their differences and lived peacefully together?" Leticia opened her eyes and tried to mediate helplessly.
"Arguing in a place like this is just petty. Let's have a nice, relaxing soak first."
"Yes!" Black Rabbit quickly agreed.
"Lady Leticia is right! Everyone, getting along peacefully while bathing is what matters most!"
Hearing that, Asuka and Aisha immediately shut their mouths and said nothing further.
Pest seemed to be in a particularly foul mood from being forcibly dragged into a communal bath, but she said nothing more
