In the camp, the huge bonfire had already been lit and was turning into a blazing flame, constantly emitting heat and light, providing sufficient lighting for the camp.
Underworld There is no sun or moon, so now there is no light source in the sky and can only be illuminated by bonfires.
Of course, even if there is no lighting, it doesn't really matter. After all, Underworld's creatures basically have night vision, including Devil. However, after nightfall, the temperature in the campground will plummet, and it will drop to more than 20 degrees, making the night temperature almost close to zero. Even Devil will feel a little chilly, so it is still necessary to light a campfire to keep warm.
Under such circumstances, Yukino Yukinoshita and his party came back exhausted.
However, Leo has disappeared.
This made all the girls hate it with itch.
"He actually ran away. How despicable."
Yukino Yukinoshita looked like he was gnashing his teeth.
"Where can he go at this time? Should he just hide in the tent?"
Asuna Yuuki analyzed it carefully, and at a glance it was clear that he had not given up the idea of revenge.
"I'm afraid we'll find him if he's hiding in the tent. That guy won't be that stupid."
Utaha Kasumigaoka snorted coldly, his words filled with anger.
"With the senior's strength, no matter where he goes, nothing will happen. It is very likely that he will hide in Ancient Battlefield."
O
Mahiru Shiina said helplessly.
The girls only felt that with Leo's style, it was really possible to do such a thing.
After all, he is not afraid of ghosts, but they have just been victimized. Even if they knew that he was hiding in Ancient Battlefield, they would not dare to go back.
When they thought of this, everyone suddenly became even more angry.
At this time, a bat flew from a distance and transformed into a human form in front of everyone.
Everyone could tell at a glance that this was one of the familiars brought over by Leo.
The familiar pointed towards a nearby tent, making the girls startled.
"Shall we go there?"
Asuna Yuuki looked at the tent.
"Is that an unused tent?"
Utaha Kasumigaoka looked at it for a while and said this.
"What's in there?"
Mahiru Shiina are all curious.
"Is that guy hiding there? Send a familiar to call us over?"
Yukino Yukinoshita said as he took a step forward and walked toward the tent aggressively.
The others immediately followed, as if they were ready to settle the score with Yukino Yukinoshita together with Leo.
But when they opened the curtain of the tent and entered the interior of the tent, they were all stunned by the sight that greeted them.
I saw that the interior of the tent was empty, without any utensils, except for a pool built on the ground in the middle.
Surrounding the pool are several statues that are constantly spraying water. The water in the pool is also constantly emitting hot steam, telling the girls what it is.
"It's a hot spring!"
Asuna Yuuki was the first to speak out, his voice full of surprise and excitement.
The eyes of the others also lit up, and the anger in their hearts was replaced by surprise and excitement.
"Why is there a hot spring here?"
"It doesn't look like it was originally there."
"It was just built, right? The bricks and stones are all new!"
Yukino Yukinoshita, Utaha Kasumigaoka, and Mahiru Shiina spoke one after another.
"This should be the surprise that guy mentioned, right?"
Yukino Yukinoshita quickly guessed the truth of the matter.
This is indeed a surprise prepared by Leo.
He knew very well that the intensity of the special training this time was very high. For the sake of the future, he did not intend to be merciful. He had already decided to train his family members ruthlessly, so the next month would definitely be difficult for the girls.
They are all still girls. Even if they are reincarnated into Devil and their physiques have been greatly improved, even if they can endure special training in this kind of Ancient Battlefield, they may not be able to withstand it mentally.
So, in order to reward the family members who had worked hard all day in special training, Leo asked the familiar to build a hot spring here for the girls to relax their body and mind.
After understanding this, the girls' anger towards Leo slowly disappeared.
"He's smart enough to know how to prepare something like this for us."
Utaha Kasumigaoka's cold snort has turned into a light snort, obviously he has lost most of his energy.
"I didn't expect that I could soak in hot springs here."
"There are also toiletries here."
Asuna Yuuki had already begun to test the water temperature, and Mahiru Shiina discovered stools, soap, wooden buckets and other items in the corner.
All the preparations for bathing have been made, all that is left is for people to come.
The girls were immediately eager to try it out.
After a whole day of special training, their bodies had become tattered, not to mention all kinds of dirt and sweat, which dyed their fair and delicate bodies gray.
Girls love to be clean. They were in special training before so they didn't pay attention to this aspect. Now that the hot springs have appeared in front of them, how can they hold back?
Now, they only feel that they are dirty and sticky, and it is really uncomfortable----
No, it is extremely uncomfortable.
"Then----shall we go in?"
Mahiru Shiina made a cautious inquiry.
Why do you ask?
Isn't it because a man might pop out here at any time?
"Isn't he hiding somewhere and peeking?"
Utaha Kasumigaoka makes no secret of his distrust of Leo.
"The minister wouldn't do such a thing, right?"
Asuna Yuuki said this, but his tone was full of uncertainty.
"He shouldn't peek."
Yukino Yukinoshita thought for a while, then shook his head and said this.
"Why do you think so?" Utaha Kasumigaoka said doubtfully, "I don't think he will be a gentleman."
"Of course he is not a gentleman." Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly, "I just think that with his character, he will definitely feel that if he wants to see it, he can just come and see it openly. There is no need to see it secretly."
"After all, what he talks about most often is that we are all his, and whatever he wants to do to us is natural."
"Rather than taking a peek, I would rather believe that he would just lift the curtain and come in and take a bath with us."
As soon as these words came out, the girls immediately fell silent.
I have to say that Yukino Yukinoshita is right, and she has a full understanding of Leo.
At least, based on what the girls know about Leo, it is entirely possible for him to do such a thing.
Just----
"Wouldn't that be more worrying?"
Mahiru Shiina muttered, making the girls look at each other.
"Will he really lift the curtain and come in later?"
"Should we seal the entrance?"
"What's the use? With his strength, if he really wants to come in, let alone sealing the entrance, even if he seals the entire tent with a barrier, he can still get in."
Utaha Kasumigaoka, Asuna Yuuki, and Yukino Yukinoshita began to enter discussion mode and were ready to think of a way to prevent this from happening.
But after much deliberation, they still couldn't come up with a reliable solution, which made them very hesitant and they didn't dare to enter the hot spring at all.
In the end, Mahiru Shiina bit her lip and decided to give it a go.
"If the senior really wants to do something to us, we have nothing to do. We might as well just follow our inner choices."
She thought of the conversation she had with Leo on the day she became Devil.
"You won't do anything weird to me, right?"
"Maybe? Maybe I'll want to do it one day."
"You are so frank. Aren't you afraid that you will scare me away?"
"Devil scares people away. Isn't this a natural thing? You've already done Devil, why do you have to worry about so much? Follow your own desires and live as you please, this is Devil."
Mahiru Shiina clearly remembers that after hearing these words, he chose to accept Evil Piece from Leo, thus being reincarnated as Devil.
In other words, from that day on, she had accepted the fact of becoming Leo's dependent servant, and the possibility that he would do whatever he wanted in the future.
Of course, what moved Mahiru Shiina the most was that sentence----
"The person who will accompany you through the long years in the future is not your parents, but me. I am my companion who is the same as you, and is the same family."
It was because of these words that she made up her mind.
Since this is the person who will accompany you through the long years in the future and give you the recognition you need, then forget about it.
At worst, just be a servant and provide benefits to your master.
Mahiru Shiina's pretty face turned red, hesitating for a while, and then started to take off her clothes.
Mainly because she couldn't stand it anymore, she was really dirty.
The remaining girls saw Mahiru Shiina, a school girl, all taking off her clothes. You looked at me, I looked at you, and finally they all sighed.
"There is no other way, who made us dependents?"
"Now that it's like this, we can't just pretend we didn't see the existence of this hot spring, right?"
"If that guy dares to come in suddenly, I will have to settle the score with him afterwards."
Yukino Yukinoshita, Asuna Yuuki, and Utaha Kasumigaoka convinced themselves with their own reasons, and then they began to remove their armor, revealing their delicate bodies covered with dust and dirt.
It was so dirty that they naturally would not soak in the hot spring directly. Instead, they took out the wooden bucket and scooped up water to wash away the dirt on their bodies before soaking in the hot spring.
"Huh----"
The next second, the girls all let out a sigh of relief and relaxed their expressions.
"It's so comfortable." Asuna Yuuki is the one who likes bathing the most among the girls. Her face is full of relaxation and joy, and she smiles. "I feel like the fatigue of the whole day has been eliminated."
"Look, the wounds are healing." Utaha Kasumigaoka raised his hand, and the scars on it disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. He said in amazement, "This hot spring water shouldn't be imported from outside, right?"
"Can it actually be used to treat wounds?" Mahiru Shiina blinked and said, "Could it be that Underworld's medicinal materials are also added to it?"
"It's very possible, otherwise even if hot springs can cure diseases, the effect won't be so strong."
"The hot spring water is spit out from those four statues. Is it possible that it is the function of those statues?"
"After all, it's Devil's thing. No matter how strange it is, it's normal."
The girls started chatting, their words full of recognition and love for this hot spring.
Only Yukino Yukinoshita, for some reason, was reluctant to speak from the beginning and remained silent.
"What's wrong? Yukino?" Asuna Yuuki quickly discovered this and asked in confusion, "Why don't you speak?"
"----Nothing." Yukino Yukinoshita behaved very coldly, not at all like the others who were overjoyed to soak in the hot springs. He said dullly, "I just don't want to talk."
This overly cold and depressing attitude left both Asuna Yuuki and Mahiru Shiina a little confused.
Only Utaha Kasumigaoka suddenly raised his eyebrows, moved his eyes down, glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita's chest, and immediately smiled.
Smiling like a sneaky fox.
"It's okay, Yukino." Utaha Kasumigaoka said in a very gentle tone, "You are still in the growing stage, and it is not impossible to grow up in the future."
In one sentence, Asuna Yuuki and Mahiru Shiina suddenly understood.
"Who, who cares about this kind of thing?!"
Yukino Yukinoshita's reaction became very intense, just like being poked in the scar or stepped on the tail.
"Don't you care?" Utaha Kasumigaoka squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Then why have you been peeking at us, especially me, from just now?"
As he said that, Utaha Kasumigaoka deliberately puffed out his chest, causing an exaggerated wave.
That scene directly stimulated Yukino Yukinoshita.
"You did it on purpose, right?"
Yukino Yukinoshita's little fists were clenched.
"I just want to show you a role model and give you the motivation to promote your growth." Utaha Kasumigaoka teased, "You have to pay attention to the charm of being a woman. Not to mention surpassing Asuna, at least not to be inferior to Mahiru, who is a school girl, right?"
Asuna Yuuki and Mahiru Shiina immediately blushed, and they both subconsciously lowered their bodies and soaked in the water.
But Yukino Yukinoshita still caught a glimpse of the two people's white faces, and almost fell into autistic state.
Among the dependents, the one with the best development is undoubtedly Utaha Kasumigaoka, followed closely by Asuna Yuuki. Although Mahiru Shiina is a first-year school girl, her development level is completely She is not inferior to the seniors in the second and third grade. If Asuna Yuuki is not the type who will not starve for future children at a glance, even if she is a senior in the second grade, she may not be able to compare with this Angel.
There is only Yukino Yukinoshita, it can be renamed Yukinoshita Heino----
Normally she didn't pay attention to this kind of thing, but now that everyone was naked and taking a bath together, she couldn't help but notice it even if she wanted to.
The cruel reality made her brain dizzy, and she felt that God was so unfair to her.
"Obviously my mother and sister are both very big, so why did they come to me--"
Yukino Yukinoshita muttered extremely unwillingly.
Asuna Yuuki and Mahiru Shiina saw that Yukino Yukinoshita was about to become autistic, so they quickly began to comfort her.
"Hmph~~~"
Utaha Kasumigaoka hummed a song as if he had won some great victory.
The tent in the dark night was filled with the voices of girls and the laughter that appeared from time to time. Leo, who was sitting at the top of the tent, smiled, spread his eight wings, flew into the sky, and flew in the direction of Ancient Battlefield----
