Who Isn't a Herrscher

Returning to the hotel, everyone walked down the corridor.

Touka sensed something unusual and remained silent. "..."

Luo Mio and his group also noticed the strangeness.

Stella whispered uncomfortably, "What's going on? This weird feeling of being watched..."

That's right, as soon as Luo Mio and the other four entered the hotel, they felt numerous uncomfortable, inexplicable gazes directed at them.

Among the five, Ikki and Touka, being the most perceptive, were the first to sense the stares, most of which were focused on Luo Mio.

This point left them a bit puzzled.

Luo Mio, bearing the brunt of the attention, vaguely understood why so many eyes were on him.

Could it be... that incident at noon today...

The group, enduring the stares from surrounding students, arrived at the restaurant entrance.

Stella then suggested, "Sister Kanata, since you just finished your match, why don't we go to the bathhouse together, then have a meal together?"

Hearing Stella's proposal, Kidewara Kanata and Touka both agreed, and the three girls headed towards the women's bathhouse.

"Then, the two of us..." Ikki and Luo Mio exchanged glances.

Luo Mio, still feeling the stares, said, "Why don't we find a corner to sit down first?"

Ikki agreed with Luo Mio's suggestion, and the two then entered the restaurant.

Touka, Stella, and Kidewara Kanata arrived at the changing area of the women's bathhouse.

The three women changed out of their clothes, revealing their fair, soft bodies, a dazzling and alluring sight, with sexy, voluptuous figures.

Among the three, Stella and Kidewara Kanata were the most curvaceous, making one's desire to conquer them surge.

Touka, though not quite as endowed, was only slightly behind them.

The three women wrapped themselves in bath towels to cover their bodies.

Above the towels, their perfect figures were even more accentuated, with fair, tender skin like an abyss, provoking a desire to explore, along with delicate, pale shoulders and beautiful collarbones.

Below the towels, their perfect figures were highlighted, encasing their tempting, sexy hips, while their straight, rounded, smooth, and delicate legs were exposed to the air.

(This can be referenced from the illustration in Volume 16 of Chivalry of a Failed Knight, a gentleman's smile)

Afterward, the three women entered the women's bathhouse.

Some female students were already washing themselves in the bathhouse.

"Haa~ It's been so long since I last bathed with you, Sister Kanata," Touka murmured softly as she wiped herself.

"I remember the last time was when we were little," Kidewara Kanata said with a smile, rinsing under the hot water.

"Is that so... Time really flies."

"Heh~ Sister Touka and Sister Kanata knew each other when you were little?" Stella asked in surprise.

Touka smiled.

"Yes, Miohua and I grew up in an orphanage run by Sister Kanata's family."

While the three women were chatting...

From behind the wall of the next cubicle, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.

"Hey, hey! Sister Asagi Momiji!" a girl's energetic, gossipy voice said.

Stella suddenly froze upon hearing it.

That voice... isn't that Kagami?

How did she get in...

Then Asagi Momiji's voice came through.

Touka also froze.

Momiji?...

"You are..."

"Ah, I'm Kusakabe Kagami from the Hagun Academy News Club, a friend of Toudo Miohua."

"...A friend of Little Mio's... Is there something you need...?"

Then Kagami, in a gossipy tone, asked Asagi Momiji, "Excuse me, Sister Asagi Momiji, what is your relationship with classmate Miohua?"

"...!"

"!"

"!"

"!"

Hearing Kagami's question, Asagi Momiji was instantly speechless.

Touka and the other two behind the wall were also taken aback.

Little Mio… Momiji…

Little Mio… a relationship?

Miohua and senior Momiji…?

Countless question marks popped up in the three girls' minds, but they continued to listen in silence.

Asagi Momiji said with a slightly shy voice, "Little Mio and I are just ordinary childhood friends..."

"Really?"

"...Re-really."

"Then what about this noon... ababa... how do you explain that?"

"Ugh..."

Snap.

A bolt of lightning struck deep within Touka's heart.

Little… Mio…, how… could…

Afterward, Kagami and Asagi Momiji chatted for a while longer.

"Then I'll tell you... but you can't tell anyone else, okay..." Asagi Momiji said shyly.

"Mhm mhm mhm!"

Next door, the three girls also perked up their ears, listening intently to the two's conversation.

"Actually..."

Then Asagi Momiji recounted the entire encounter with Luo Mio in front of the restaurant that noon, from beginning to end.

"So that's what happened..."

Next door, Kagami pushed up her non-existent glasses, stunned, and murmured.

"I didn't expect classmate Miohua to be such a player, even reaching out to his own sister and his sister's classmate..."

And next door…

The three girls were all silent…

Kidewara Kanata's composed and elegant cheeks were flushed, her sapphire eyes moist with shyness, her delicate hand stroking her ample chest.

I didn't expect... Little Mio would... like...

Stella also looked down at her own figure, her flushed face betraying her master's shyness.

Do guys... like... chests...?

Ikki…

A blush spread across Touka's exquisite and beautiful face, her pale red lips gently bitten by her teeth. Her chestnut-gold eyes revealed complex and ambiguous emotions as her right hand slowly caressed her left chest.

Little Mio…

Meanwhile, far away at the restaurant, Luo Mio suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

What is this... feeling...

Chapter 46: Two Women

This feeling... what's going on... it's so chilly...

Luo Mio suddenly shivered, then glanced left and right around him.

"Miohua?" Ikki asked, seeing Luo Mio's strange movements, "What's wrong?"

"Ah, nothing..."

"Is that so..."

Then Ikki followed Luo Mio's gaze and looked around.

"Speaking of which, why are there still so many stares even after we've arrived at the restaurant?"

Luo Mio coughed upon hearing that.

"Probably... because I..."

"Huh?"

Then Luo Mio explained the events of that noon to Ikki clearly.

"So that's how it is..." Ikki said, breaking out in a sweat, "And you even talked about Sister Touka and Senior Kanata's chests... private parts... in front of Sister Momiji."

Luo Mio scratched his head helplessly and said speechlessly, "I just blurted it out subconsciously. I didn't expect this to spread so quickly."

Ikki didn't know what to say for a moment either.

"Ah, it's Stella and the others," Ikki said, looking towards the entrance of the dining hall as Stella and the other two walked in.

Then, Ikki waved his arm, calling out to the three women.

The three women had already showered and changed back into the clothes they wore before separating. Their slightly damp hair and the steam radiating from their bodies.

"Sister, Sister Kanata, what do you want to eat?" Luo Mio asked Touka and Kidewara Kanata, who were already seated.

"..."

"..."

"Hmm?" Luo Mio looked at the two women with some confusion.

"Um... Sister?"

"...What?" Touka replied very quietly after a short silence.

"What's with you two...?"

Facing Luo Mio's question, Touka simply shook her head.

"...Nothing."

"...?" Luo Mio felt very confused, then looked at Kidewara Kanata.

"Sister Kanata...?"

"...! Yes!"

Upon hearing Luo Mio call her name, Kidewara Kanata's thoughts, still lingering from their conversation in the bathhouse, were instantly pulled back.

Luo Mio was also a little startled, as he rarely saw the usually calm and elegant Kidewara Kanata in such a flustered state.

Then, Luo Mio looked at Kidewara Kanata with a bit of surprise and said, "...Sister Kanata... your face..."
