"After eating and drinking my fill, soaking in a hot spring feels so good."
Yae Sakura lay sprawled over a rock at the edge of the hot spring, her eyes closed in contentment as she enjoyed this leisurely moment. Though her two fox ears were wet, they still looked quite lively.
Now, everyone she wanted to meet was here. Aside from the onmyoji who had tricked Kikyo still not being found, there was basically nothing else to do.
So unless she went looking for trouble herself, life was far too easy. This kind of life where she could laze around and eat without dying... was far too easy to sink into decadence.
Turning over and leaning her back against the smooth stone, Yae Sakura looked at the other four women in the hot spring. They were all her wings! Probably?
Honestly, if she had to put it into words, there was a little ambiguity between them, but on closer thought... they could not really be called lovers, could they? They were just very close girlfriends and friends? Even Kikyo was the same. They had never confirmed any kind of relationship; they merely cared about each other more than usual.
Though it seemed like it was more than just friendship...
"Big Sis Sakura!"
While Yae Sakura was lost in thought, Kagome came over to her side and patted her arm.
"Hmm? What is it, Kagome?"
Yae Sakura looked curiously at Kagome beside her. In terms of figure alone, Kagome was no worse than Kikyo; what she lacked was only that ethereal, transcendent aura.
"Um..."
Squatting beside Yae Sakura, Kagome seemed somewhat hesitant.
"Hmm?"
Yae Sakura tilted her head at Kagome, waiting for her to continue.
"Big Sis Sakura, when are we going back?"
After hesitating for a moment, Kagome finally spoke.
