"Roshia": Was I Excited?!!

"Rosia... you're quite well-nourished..."

While bathing, Bronya casually glanced over, then fell somewhat silent.

Rosia's clothes had been loose during the day, while her underwear was rather tight, so there had not seemed to be much of a curve. But now, it appeared that Rosia, who was only around ten years old, was not even smaller than Mei.

"Mm, because I inherited good genes from Mother Bronya and Mother Seele."

Rosia nodded.

Though she was still young, this body's current development and potential for growth were both excellent.

"I... my genes are good?"

Bronya gestured with one hand. One hand was almost not enough for what Rosia had said, then she looked down at her own barely noticeable curves.

She sank into deep silence.

"Mm, tch..."

"Rosia" looked at the mist swirling through the bathroom and clicked her tongue.

"Alright, stop peeking."

Rosia turned around and said helplessly.

"I... wasn't looking."

Thinking Rosia was displeased with her staring, Bronya waved her hands.

"No, Mother Bronya."

Rosia stuck out her tongue, then looked toward the black-and-red-haired girl craning her neck by the door.

"If you want to look, you can look for as long as you like."

"Hmph."

"Rosia" knew she was speaking to her, but she still gave a soft snort before vanishing.

"Ahem..."

Bronya admitted that she had indeed gotten a little absorbed in looking just now, but her pride kept her from admitting it.

"Rosia, you smell so nice..."

While washing Rosia's hair, Bronya discovered that the steam filling the bathroom carried a sweet, fragrant scent.

She could not describe it. Though it was rich, when she tried to smell it carefully, it seemed as though there was no scent at all. She simply found herself drawing closer to Rosia.

"Mm? Do I?"

Rosia tilted her head in confusion.

"Gulp..."

Bronya swallowed.

She had not felt anything when Rosia was dressed before, but now, in the heavily misted bathroom, an incredibly strange feeling welled up in her heart.

"Bronya! How much longer are you going to take?!"

Kiana urged from outside.

"Kiana, we'll be done soon."

Rosia called back.

"Rosia? You're bathing too? Bronya, open the door!"

The moment she heard Rosia's voice, Kiana grew even more anxious.

"Don't open it for her. Nothing good will happen if that girl comes in."

Kiana's interruption brought Bronya back to her senses.

No wonder Kiana wanted Rosia so badly. Bronya could feel that indescribably adorable aura around Rosia.

Simply put, every smile and frown of hers hit Bronya's exact preferences.

"Come on, Bronya. Let's bathe together. We're both girls, so what's the problem..."

"Mei, you're back?"

Kiana, who was still wailing, spotted Mei entering the house.

"Mm."

Raiden Mei took off her coat and wiped away her sweat.

"Is someone in the bathroom right now?"

After tidying her clothes, Raiden Mei asked.

"Bronya's in there..."

Hearing that, Raiden Mei nodded lightly and prepared to wait for a while.

"That damn Bronya. I wanted to bathe with Rosia too..."

Kiana's muttering made Raiden Mei's gaze flicker. She quietly picked up her clothes and went around.

"Bronya, it's Raiden Mei."

Raiden Mei lightly knocked on the bathroom door.

"Mei?"

Looking at the blue-haired girl crouched in the bathtub with only her head exposed, Bronya thought for a moment before opening the door for Mei.

The bathroom was spacious enough for several people to bathe together. The reason she would not let Kiana in was because she feared Kiana would make trouble again. The last time Bronya had bathed with Raiden Mei, Kiana had nearly pounced on Mei.

"Mei, are you tired from training?"

Rosia was not surprised to see Raiden Mei enter, only concerned.

"It was just extra daily training. I'm not that tired."

Raiden Mei smiled.

"Would you like to soak with us? The water temperature is just right."

Rosia did not think much of it and invited her.

"Mm... alright."

Raiden Mei hesitated for a moment, then, seeing no reaction from Bronya, nodded with a calm expression.

Though the bathtub was about the size of an ordinary two-person tub, it was inevitable that the two of them would touch a little while sitting inside.

"Rosia, your stigmata..."

Rosia's body was still very young, but she was well-developed. The stigmata on her chest looked especially alluring against her fair skin and curves.

There is an illustration here. It can be viewed after updating to the latest version.

"Stigmata? Is it this pattern?"

Though Rosia knew what stigmata meant, under the current circumstances, she still needed to pretend not to know. So she rose slightly and pointed to the complete stigmata pattern.

"...It's quite pretty."

Raiden Mei pressed her lips together, then sank a little lower.

Why does even this water feel sweet?

As Raiden Mei thought that, the tip of her nose suddenly grew hot. Realizing what was happening, she quietly used the Herrscher of Thunder's power to seal the ruptured blood vessel with heat and electricity.

Though it hurt a little, she had to endure it.

"Mei..."

Rosia reminded Raiden Mei somewhat awkwardly.

Raiden Mei, still immersed in the sweet fragrance in the water, was a little slow to react.

"Huh?"

"It feels a little tingly."

Rosia looked at the water's surface, where sparks flickered, and did not know what to say for a moment.

"Rosia, are you done soaking? Why are bubbles coming up from the water?"

Bronya tied up her hair and asked in confusion.

"I'm done, Mother Bronya."

Rosia did not feel much, aside from a faint tingling sensation.

"Mei, we'll head back to rest first."

Bronya said goodbye to Raiden Mei.

"Mm, alright."

Raiden Mei nodded and continued lying in the bathtub.

"Mei... mm, it smells so good..."

Not long after, Kiana poked her head inside.

"Mei, I'll soak with you."

Though she had not gotten to bathe with Rosia, bathing with Mei was not bad either.

The moment Kiana stepped in, her vision suddenly went black, and she collapsed.

"Huh?"

Hearing Kiana's voice from the bathroom, Rosia asked worriedly:

"Mother Bronya? Kiana will be alright, won't she?"

"She'll be fine. With Mei in there, what could happen to her?"

Bronya did not care in the slightest.

Rosia puffed out her cheeks and could only speak softly.

"But Mei seemed to be discharging electricity today..."

"Rosia": Was I Excited?!!

That night

Rosia slept together with Bronya. She slept quite well; after all, not many people could sleep soundly while squatting in an alley in late autumn.

Bronya, meanwhile, fell into the same predicament Raiden Mei had faced before.

As a night owl, Bronya normally went to sleep rather late. With the lights turned off so early, she did not know what to do.

"She really does look so much like..."

Rosia had an excellent sleeping posture. Lying on her side, Bronya stared at her sleeping face, finding it beautiful no matter how she looked at it.

"Why does she smell so sweet?"

After staring for a long time, Bronya could not help sniffing.

Rosia before her was like a freshly baked marshmallow. Even the air around her carried a faint sweetness.

"I can't figure it out."

Bronya could not resist lightly poking Rosia's cheek with a finger.

The feeling of suddenly becoming a mother was quite subtle, especially when this child seemed as though she had traveled here from the future.
