Chapter 786

The bathroom in the Edelfelt family's house was even better than Shirou had imagined.

Its level of luxury goes without saying; it occupies more than twenty times the area of Amamiya Residence's bathhouse, and even the palace baths built by a certain Rome tyrant were probably no more impressive.

Wow~ It's so big~~~

Chloe happily rushed to the bathtub, jumped in, and started swimming.

Shirou said speechlessly, "Don't rush to soak, come over and give yourself a quick wash. Kuro, I'll wash your hair."

"Ugh? This is so troublesome~ Brother, why don't you come down for a soak too~"

"..."

Shirou realized he couldn't let Chloe lead him by the nose any longer, so he ignored her invitation and sat down in the shower.

It's better to be firm with a mischievous girl like Kuro. Let's pull her up later... Okay.

Thinking this, Shirou squeezed a bit of shampoo onto his hand, preparing to wash his hair.

"Shirou, why are you here?"

"Ah?"

That voice undoubtedly belonged to the family's maid.

Shirou's pupils widened as he turned to look, only to see four women standing at the bathroom entrance, completely naked except for towels.

They are Ritseliete, Sella, Miyu, and Illya.

Oops, I subconsciously sorted by bust size... That's not the point!

Sella blushed, staring at Shirou with an incredulous expression, her eyes filled with "why?"

"Shirou wants to shower with everyone too," Ritseliete said. "Why don't you just say so?"

"What...!?" Sella's mouth dropped open.

"No... that's not true... don't talk nonsense, Liz!"

Shirou was speechless.

But he couldn't say that he had been tricked by Kuro.

Just as he was pondering how to defend himself, a "plop!" sound came from the bathtub.

That was the sound of Illya jumping into the water.

She spotted Chloe and pounced on her, pushing her underwater.

"Illya! Falling headfirst into the water is so undignified, what kind of behavior is that!" Sella scolded unhappily.

Illya, sitting on Chloe, stammered, "I'm so sorry, I just got a little too excited..."

"Really..."

Sella sighed, "The brother is like this, and the sister is like this too... Don't you have any common sense at all? I really don't know what to do with you two..."

She sat down on the bench in the shower while complaining.

Shirou:"..."

Huh? What's going on?

Wait, wait a minute! Miss Sella!

Are you just going to let this go like that? You're not planning to kick me out?!

Sella turned to Shirou and said quietly, "Today is a special case... This... this won't happen again."

Ritseliete, standing to the side, gave a thumbs-up, looking smug as if she wanted to show off to Shirou.

Shirou: "???"

Are you kidding me!

Please, anyone, just kick me out! Who wants to stay in a place like this?!

Illya was too busy dealing with Chloe to attend to this matter.

Shirou finally turned his pleading gaze to the black-haired girl.

Miyu, only you can save me, please... say something!

However, Miyu said nothing.

She placed her hands on the edge of the bath towel, bit her lip shyly, and sat down.

This attitude... is tantamount to tacitly acknowledging his existence.

Shirou was in despair.

"To think she'd plunge headfirst into the bath, Miss Illya, you really are a worry."

Sella said while fixing her hair.

Liz: "Sella, is it alright for you to sit next to me?"

Sella: "Huh? What did you say?"

Liz: "I don't like bullying the weak."

Sella: "So, what exactly are you talking about?"

Ritseliete moved her gaze downwards.

"If Sella doesn't mind, then it's fine. But the difference between us is too obvious when we sit together like this."

Sella blinked. "The difference is too obvious?"

I'm going to go play with Shirou.

Ritseliete suddenly stood up from the bench.

"Shirou, let me help you wash your hair."

"Hey... Liz, wait! Wrap yourself in that towel first!"

Because she was washing her body, Ritseliete had just taken off her bath towel.

**********************, approaching Shirou's eyes.

... This is the ultimate weapon of Einzbern, surpassing even Irisviel!

Shirou imprinted the image he had just witnessed deep into his Spirit Origin, then closed his eyes and obediently let Liz play with his head.

"Shirou seems more obedient than usual."

Shirou: "Huh? I've always looked like this... Liz, how come you suddenly look like a maid?"

Liz: "Seeing Shirou naked suddenly reminded me of the dog we had when I was a child."

Shirou: "When did we ever have a dog?"

Liz: "Today is bath time for Shiro. Come on, sit still."

Shirou: "Who's the dog?!"

Liz: "Shirou is clearly very happy."

"Haa..."

Shirou, with his eyes closed, was having a pointless conversation with Liz was lathering his head with foam.

A third person's voice came through.

"Sister Liz ~"

Is that Kuro? The stray cat that recently wandered into our house.

"Oh my, Miss Illya, you've gotten so tanned!"

"Hehehe, Sister Sella, that's such an old joke."

That Chloe actually dared to come all the way to Sella and the others...

Shirou could already picture Illya's annoyed expression.

"Illya, I can't wash Shirou's hair like this."

"?"

It felt like something brushed against Shirou's back.

And then this heavy, sliding sensation... could it be...?

Chloe asked while **********************.

"Liz, it's still as big as ever~~ How big was it again?"

"92," Ritseliete answered truthfully while washing her hair.

"Sigh... 9, 92?" Miyu looked shocked.

With his eyes closed, Shirou felt the weight behind him and listened to the girls' conversation, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Shirou, I'm all washed... Come on, take a rinse," Liz said.

"Ah, um, okay." Shirou nodded.

"Illya, stop causing trouble." Liz felt Chloe was getting in the way.

Hi~

After playing for a while, Chloe returned to the bathtub, Ritseliete began rinsing the foam off Shirou's hair.

Just then, a loud bang came from behind.

"W-what... an explosion?"

"What's wrong, Illya... Ah!"

Shirou sensed the magic and quickly turned around, only to find his entire field of vision filled with it.

"Shirou, don't move."

Ritseliete pressed his head down and continued rinsing him with the showerhead.

"Miss Illya...?"

It seems that Illya secretly attacked Chloe with the Ruby she brought into the bathroom, sinking her.

"Sella and Liz, you can go out first. I want to soak a little longer."

Illya urged the maid on.

An incredible, astonishing power emanated from her small body, all transformed from the pressure Chloe had created.

"Okay... okay." Sella was stunned.

"Shirou, remember to wash your hair properly," Ritseliete reminded her before leaving.

Just how obsessed are you with washing my hair?

Shirou muttered to himself as he rinsed his hair.

"It was a miscalculation; we didn't expect her to use full-force artillery fire under those circumstances."

After the maids left, Chloe lay dying on the shore.

Illya snorted, "Honestly, you'd better stop this now and stop messing around."

"Illya can be really bold sometimes~"

Fortunately, no damage was caused to the building.

Shirou crept to the edge of the pond and slowly sat down.

It didn't feel right to just casually walk over and greet Illya and the others, so I'll just hang out at the bar by myself...

"Call..."

The chaos finally ended, but Shirou hadn't even enjoyed a few seconds of peace.

"Huh? Just the few of you?"

"Kuro is here too."

A new voice rang out; it was Luvia Zelitt and Rin Tohsaka, the two with their hair tied up, walking into the bathroom.
