Chapter 230.1. The Villainous Mob

The sound of footsteps and threats echoed in the bathroom. Although it might have been bothersome, Mii-chan didn’t care and yawned while soaking in the bathtub.
Water glistened sensually from her plump body. Well, calling it “plump” might be her self-assessment, but it’s probably accurate.
The hot spring felt delightful on her tired body. The warmth spread from her toes, and Me-chan couldn’t help but feel relaxed.
“What was that thing called… orienteering?”
Gazing at the sparkling stars in the sky, Suzune scooped up some water with a splash. 
With delicious food, a pleasant hot spring, and a room with comfortable futons, it’s not clear what exactly is on Me-chan’s mind.
“I heard that modern campgrounds have cottages and bathrooms too. Outdoor hot springs are pretty common.”
A gentle breeze rustled through the leaves.
“Yeah… I think I’ve heard of that before. But I’m too lazy to think about it. Whatever.”
Even the cat girl was enchanted by the power of the hot spring, and she stopped thinking, stretching her limbs and closing her eyes.
Of course, it’s natural to be captivated by the power of the hot spring.
Tamamo even found a dirty and unusable hot spring and repaired it. That’s the incredible Tamamo for you.
The spacious open-air bath was well-built and protected by barriers to prevent monsters from entering or peeping from the outside.
It’s so spacious that you could even swim in it. 
Gentlemanly types might wail, but the water is white and cloudy, so you can’t see anything even if you’re naked.
After having dinner, Mii-chan and the others were back in the hot spring. Yes, the hot spring is awesome.
“When we get out, let’s have a pillow fight!”
“…I think I’ll live here.”
“Want me to make curry again?”
Hoku-chan still seemed lively, vigorously waving her hands as if practicing for the pillow fight. Sei-chan looked like she was about to doze off, and Nan-chan, despite eating more than 20 bowls of rice, still had a flat stomach, which was quite mysterious.
As for Suzune and the others, they looked into the distance, laughing lightly.
Yamiyo, on the other hand, with her cheeks flushed, approached Mii-chan and opened her mouth with a smile.
“Mii-sama, would you like me to wash your back? I’ll carefully wash your hair too.”
“I’ll wash Kon-chan’s hair too!”
“Konkon!”
Tamamo washed Kon-chan with shampoo. Lucky, I’d love to wash Kon-chan all bubbly too.
While humming to herself, Tamamo covered Con-chan in bubbles. For some reason, Tamamo’s body was also covered in foam, probably due to her magical and mystical powers.
My other classmates were leisurely soaking in the hot water too. Everyone loved this hot spring, now enjoying their second bath.
“By the way, it seems like it was quite tough to get here.”
“Yes, indeed! Some fairly strong monsters appeared here and there, so it took time to defeat them.”
Ninny, who was swimming inside the bath, half-closed her eyes as she joined the conversation. She was floating, probably using her levitation magic.
“Shin-san was the one who came to help. I thought it was unnecessary since the teachers would have helped anyway.”
Sena spread her silver hair gently in the hot water as she looked at Me-chan. Putting hair in the hot spring can damage it, but she probably planned to use healing magic later.
And it seems that Shin came to the rescue during this event. That’s truly protagonist-like action.
“Maybe it saved us from losing points?”
“I believe it’s better to be aware of one’s abilities as soon as possible. Getting deducted points here might have made us more cautious, you know?”
Sena seems to have a different opinion about Shin’s actions. Well, that’s also a valid perspective. Sometimes, we only learn after experiencing something painful.
“Well, at least we all became friends, right?”
“True. Thanks to Em-sama, we had this trip.”
“Let’s talk about romance later, shall we?”
“I brought some snacks.”
For some reason, the girls smiled and praised Mii-chan. Perhaps her popularity has increased.
Before getting into the bath, the others were completely exhausted, and her body was dirty, so it’s not surprising.
The beautiful girls were happily enjoying themselves in the open-air bath, making it a paradise.
Strangely, the starlights were like beams, hiding the girls’ bodies, and Kon-chan was hopping around to ensure their bodies were not visible, making it suitable for an all-ages version.
Since the evil spirit possessing Mii-chan is sealed, she doesn’t feel anything special about looking at the others. At most, she might ask the heavily armored girl where she got her armor.
Elizabeth and Tsuki seemed dissatisfied and angry, and they left the bath early. They were probably amazed and had their eyes wide  open, understanding that it cost 7.2 billion yen for us to repair the base.
It seems the boys’ peeping event isn’t happening either. Committing crimes is obviously out of the question.
As everyone relaxed, we decided to get to the main topic and turned to Sena, who was soaking in the bathtub with a blissful expression.
“Se-chan, why did you join Shin-kun’s party?”
With a tilt of her head and a curious expression, Mii-chan asked Sena about something she had been wondering about.
It was a question, after all. Sena dislikes Shin, that’s for sure.
Sena brushed her wet silver hair and told Mii-chan the answer.
