"I want to go to a public bath. I want to experience a scenario where
boys peek into the women's bath and see girls touching each other's
breasts, and say things like "No way, Mio-chan your breasts are so big"
"Kurumi-chan will be big too!" Stuff like that happens at a public bath
and I would like to experience it at least once!"
Maria said that while clenching her fist as her eyes shined like never
before.
"Why did you put such words in my mouth!?"
Kurumi quickly replied with exasperation, but Maria paid her no
attention at all.
"We walked past one while shopping, but we've never had the chance
to go"
"We've walked past one while shopping, but we've never had the
opportunity to try it out"
"That's right. Thanks to this we have the chance to go."
Basara said with a straightforward face, while wearing a thick jacket.
The entire Toujou family was in front of the public bath in the
shopping district.
It's not the public bath by the supermarket, this one has a high
chimney and a vintage feel to it.
It wasn't the public bath close to the supermarket, this one has a high
chimney and a vintage aesthetic to it.
"If Maria hadn't screwed around with Slikichi and destroyed the bath
in the house, we wouldn't have any reason to be here"
"But really. You were excited about it last night"
"It's not like I hate it, It just feels strange"
As Basara let out a sigh, Mio and the other girls seemed embarrassed.
But remembering the effect of Slikichi's aphrodisiac, Basara felt his
cheeks heating up.
"Anyway... It would be good if we finished setting up the jet bath we
bought not too long ago"
Zest looked at the plans on her phone.
"Outside of bringing it in, the installation wasn't quite finished. In
order for us to use the normal bath, we just need to unclog it, but that
doesn't seem possible today."
"Making us feel that embarrassed, and on topping that off with
destroying the bath, we should punish Maria but..."
Mio's eyes were extremely cold.
"But you've already punished me yesterday!? It was to the top tier
too!?"
"It's the first time I'm going to a public bath since I moved here, so
I'm looking forward to it"
"Me too. Even though I sometimes go when living in the Village."
"Me too. But if i'm being honest, I don't have much memory of going
to a public bath."
Looking at Mio and Yuki, Basara's expression soften.
"Since we're already here, let's enjoy it."
"You're right," Mio nodded.
Basara and the girls stepped into the entrance of the public bath.
"Okay, once we're done with bathing, we'll meet outside. Be careful
so you don't start feeling chilly after taking a bath"
"Yeah, it seems this lobby is rather narrow"
Basara looks around him for the watcher's seat.
It seems like a vintage watcher's seat, and a small old lady was
manning it.
"Well then, see you later"
Mio waved.
"Yeah," said Basara, watching the girls head towards the women's
changing room.
However Maria then suddenly stopped in front of it.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm thinking, aren't you lonely alone Basara-san?"
"I can't go in with you"
"With my succubus power, I can bypass social norms"
"You don't have to do that, just go, it's fine."
As he points to the girls bath, Maria looks displeased.
"Basara"
Without him realizing it, Yuki has returned.
"If it's me, maybe he'll change his mind."
I'm okay with it"
"It's not okay!"
"Onee, Maria, hurry and come here"
Kurumi drags the two of them in, and Basara watches as they go.

"It's so big!"
Mio's voice echoed through the woman's bath.
The only things hiding the bodies of the girls is the steam from the
public bath as well as the hand towel they're holding.
"It sure is bigger than it looks from the outside"
Yuki said as she looked around the bath.
"They're attentive with the cleaning as well"
Zest said, giving her impressions of it.
"With this being a long-established shop, the sign would sometimes
end up having marks, with fading here and there, it'll soon have black
parts that can't be taken off."
But it's just as Zest said, each sign is clean and the mirror of the
washing area may be old but they don't have cloudy parts to them.
"Ah, it's Mt. Fuji. They have a picture of it in the public bath at the
Village too"
Kurumi said keenly.
Different from the other public bathhouses with multiple baths, this
one just has the one big bath. And on its wall is a picture of Mt. Fuji.
"There's no one here. We can do anything!"
"Anything? But since nobody is here, I can punish you all I want too"
Mio said coldly to the frolicking Maria.
"Punishing me right on the heels of yesterday, that's so mean!"
"But it's true, perhaps it's because we came early that there's no one
here"
In the bath or even in the washing area, there's no one.
"No" "Stop that!" Yuki and Kurumi said together, stopping maria.
"Why? It's cold, so I want to warm my body"
"This is a public bath... So there's ironclad rules"
"Before getting in the bath, we have to wash our bodies first"
"Even in the demon realm washing your body first before going in a
bath is common courtesy"
Zest added on to Yuki and Kurumi's words.
"I didn't expect for Zest to know this…"
"Watch and learn. So then, let's wash our bodies"
Due to Mio's urging, Maria lined up with the other girls, sitting on the
chairs of the washing area.
There's just enough space for the five of them to wash in a row.
Maria washed her hair with shampoo, then she used the hand towel to
spread the body shop on her body.
While washing her body, bubbles from the soap got on the towel,
Maria looked to her side.
Mio, Yuki and the others were washing their bodies in similar ways.
Small bubbles float up and white soap covers their breasts.
With that sight, only one person's hands stopped. Kurumi was staring
straight.
Maria's lips curled into a lewd smile.
"Kurumi-san, it's okay."
"What are you suddenly consoling me for!? W-what are you talking
about..."
"It's this right... Mio-sama keeps growing as she submits to Basarasama. Humans are... no, both demons and humans have infinite
possibilities for growth"
"Where are you talking about?"
"Of course I mean breasts."
"You should have some shame with the way you answered that!"
"Besides, I've said this before but since meeting Basara-san, Zest san
has also grown."
Zest didn't deny this.
Even though she averted her eyes away in embarrassment, she seemed
happy.
"That's why there's hope for you too Kurumi-san. As long as the
chance isn't zero, don't give up! However, if you multiply zero, it'll still
be zero."
"After just talking about hope, was that last part necessary? Besides,
you keep calling me flat chested, but you're the flattest among us! Take
that, you loli ero succubus!"
With that said, Kurumi put her hand on her shoulder, as her lips
curved upwards.
"I have an adult mode if I put effort into it. I get instant boobs from
that."
"That's cheating! It's doping! Doping boobs!"
"What are you saying? It's true I get stronger, but the adult form is
real, so it's part of my possibilities.
Maria pursed her lips as she chuckled.
"Well if it means anything… I'm cheering you on"
"S-shut up! That's enough!"
With a bit of tears in her eyes, Kurumi pouts.
"Sorry, I said too much. Please forgive me."
"Shut up! I'm not angry. I'm not..."
"I'll wash you up, so please forgive me. Kurumi-san!"
"Wah!? Idiot! Don't hold me there in pretense of washing! That's...
Hyaan"
While all soaped up, Maria held Kurumi from behind, rubbing her
small breasts.
Using her hand towel to gently caress her breasts and stomach, she
also caressed Kurumi's armpit.
"Fuaaah ♥ I said, there is, no..."
"Fufufu. What's better, this or being licked by Basara-san?"
Together with a lewd, mischievous smile, Maria attacked Kurumi
while washing her.
"Don't go overboard. We're not at home."
Mio hit Maria lightly in the back of her head, and as Maria says "Ah,
ouch" she goes to rinse off the soap on her body.
"Nevertheless... Maria is as always, but it feels like it's been a while
since we had a bath without Basara, it's quite refreshing. Even though we
don't bathe with him everyday"
"I understand"
Yuki's face remained unchanged, but there's a faint smile on her face.
"It feels like we keep going together"
Her voice sounded happy.
"Even though it's just embarrassing things all the time"
As she pushes away Maria, Kurumi's ears are red.
Kurumi's ears started getting red as she pushed away Maria.
"I'm.... really happy"
Mio smiled kindly as Zest expressed her feelings.
"When bathing at home, the times with Basara-san stand out.
Whether it's pouring with syrup or lotion, or in a swimsuit... It's a lot of
lewd things"
"When bathing at home, the times with Basara-san stand out.
Whether it's maple syrup, or lotion, or swimsuit play, it's a bunch of
lewd things"
Maria said with rapt attention.
"That's mostly your fault."
"Oh my. So then are you against having bath time with Basara-san,
Mio-sama?"
"I'm... not against it"
"Well from now on, we'll continue to have fun with the big bathroom
and jet bath. I wonder how to use it? I'm itching to put my succubus
skills to use."
"Don't break it again"
Mio furrows her eyebrows.
"But I'm itching to put my skills to use"
"You're not even going to bother responding to me?"
There was a small chuckle.
Mio blinked, and turned to where the chuckle was coming from.
They're not sure when the person entered, but there's someone at the
bath.
They weren't sure when the person entered, but there was someone
else in the bath.
Her hair, already washed, seems to gleam brilliantly.
With her long hair soaking in the bath is a woman of adult beauty.
"Hasegawa-sensei"
Mio said her name.
It's the school nurse of Hijirigasaka Academy, Hasegawa Chisato.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop"
Warmed up by the water, her cheeks are flushed.
"Why are you here, Hasegawa-sensei?"
As far as Mio can remember, she's never heard about Hasegawa living
nearby.
"It's a coincidence"
Worth a splash of the water, she turns to Mio and the other girls.
"I was doing errands for school. Despite it being winter, I did a lot of
moving around and got sweaty. Perhaps it's because of my heavy clothes.
And just right about then, I found this public bath."
She seemed to be in a good mood as she lifted up her wet bangs.
"This is a nice public bath. It's different from the one next to the
supermarket and doesn't require a membership. Do you come here
often?
"No, our bath broke so it's a coincidence for us too"
Mio poked Maria as she said that.
"I see. This is good once in a while. By the way"
Hasegawa's smile started getting bigger.
Despite her adult allure, there's a childish mischief in that smile.
"It seems like living with Toujou is really fun"
"—!?"
Mio lost control of the shower in her hand, and Yuki dropped her
hand towel.
The two of them exchanged glances. She heard everything!?
Seeing their state, Hasegawa chuckled.
"Sorry. I did say I didn't mean to eavesdrop, and won't say anything. I
have no intention of criticizing you.
"U, um"
"Well let's just forget about school for a bit, though I'm saying that
despite being a teacher."
Mio and Yuki glanced at each other once more, nodding in agreement.
Their faces were red for reasons other than the heat of this woman's
bath.
Moreover, Mio who raises her head up has her movement completely
stopped.
Moreover, Mio, who was looking all around, had frozen.
It's the same for Yuki, as well as Kurumi and Maria.
They were all staring at one thing.
"What's wrong?"
"I-it's nothing." however the flustered gazes of these girls were all on
Hasegawa's breasts.
Mio and Zest's breasts are bigger compared to the average size of girls
their ages, and they have good shape. In short they're big beautiful
breasts.
However with just one look, they were able to confirm that the breasts
before their eyes are on a different level. In short, they're superdimensional beautiful beautiful breasts.
"Kurumi-san, people should… No, whether human or demons. In the
midst of greatness, we are but small worthless things. Is there any
meaning for our fighting? In this big world, we get to live peacefully."
"That's true. There's no point in us fighting. Everyone who lives in
the universe are siblings. In front of God, that is"
Maria and Kurumi seem purified as they look at each other.
Mio and Yuki continued staring at Hasegawa's chest.
Among them, there's still the sound of a shower, and then they turned
towards that.
It's the sound of Zest washing off her shampoo.
She's the only one who's unaffected.
"T-that's right. Hasegawa-sensei"
Mio said, coming back to her senses.
"What is it?" While soaking in the bath, Hasegawa tilts her head.
"Um..."
As she's a bit lost, Mio says something she's been curious about since
earlier.
"Sensei, you sometimes talk to Basara right? Um... do you get along
well?"
"Mm? Yeah"
Hasegawa's eyes widen for a bit before she smiles wryly.
She looked at Mio and the other girls affectionately.
"I'm helped a lot by our relationship as teacher and student"
Even with her seductive face due to the hot water, there's something
motherly with how she looks at them.

Meanwhile in the men's bath, Basara looked serious.
It's the same kind of face as when he's preparing for battle and
focusing his mind.
He should be able to relax more while washing himself, but he's
unable to wash himself in a relaxed manner.
That reasoning being the two men on each side of him, they're rather
abnormal and large.
However they're not large by the normal definition.
At first glance, they seem like middle-aged men with blubber.
But under that is muscle that's built as needed. Furthermore, it
doesn't look like that of an athlete. It looks like muscle built for battle.
Just looking at one of them, the seemingly gentle old man who
might've worked in a bakery, with his plump body, has an obvious slash
wound on his stomach.
On the other side, the skinny man has wounds obviously from
gunshots.
He's cheerfully chatting with the man who's with him, but their gazes
are sharp.
In addition to that, more than anything, on the back of the plump man
is a horned demoness noh-mask pattern with shining eyes, while the thin
man has a majestic dragon on his back.
Basara gulped down, washing his body while being alert. It was then he
connected all the dots.
This is about the time people these kinds of people would come to the
bath, that way they wouldn't cause too much trouble for others.
As he thought more about it, unlike the one by the supermarket, this
kind of old bath wouldn't deny these kinds of customers.
Even for Basara who's not only crossed swords with demons but even
the current demon lord, he finds himself nervous.
I need to hurry and wash up, soak for a little bit, then go outside and wait
for Mio and the other girls near the bookstore.
As Basara was thinking, someone called out "hey boy" to him.
It's obvious the thin man is looking at Basara. Furthermore, the plump
man beside Basara is far too well-aged to be called "boy".
"Yes?" Basara answers naturally, and he was able to do this thanks to
facing down death many times before.
"You've got a strong body. Do you walk on the wild side?"
Now that he's been told his own build also fits a man who's faced
battle, Basara started thinking about his body. He was trained in the
Village to fight demons, and since meeting Mio he's been training again.
He doesn't have just one or two scars on his body, but multiple scars
coming from many sources. It can't be helped that these men might
think he comes from the same line of work as them.
"I'm just a little bit of a delinquent"
He answered fearlessly.
With that said, the thin man's lips curled into a smile.
"No need to be modest, boy"
"He has good eyes. Just like this ojisan when I was young."
As the thin man snorts, the plump man laughs jovially.
The two of them sit on either side of Basara, seeming like they can
enjoy this conversation despite the burdens they carry.
"Hey, if you're in that vein... Do you know this old man? I'm the
Bishamonten
[8] Masa"
Basara realized he really doesn't know the Bishamonten Masa.
But the plump man continued looking at Basara.
Despite his seemingly soft face that reminds Basara of a baker, the
depth of his eyes carries something great behind it.
Basara can tell he's sensitive from the many battles he has faced.
Even if he lies, he would be found out right away. In any case, he
doesn't want to lie.
"I don't know"
The mood between the two men changed. There's a stinging killing
intent driving in.
Within that, Basara doesn't change his expression, continuing to wash
himself.
"Haha. What an honest kid" the plump man laughs.
"He's quite something. He's really like this old man"
"I've taken a liking to you"
The thin man slaps Basara's back.
With his training from the Hero Village, it doesn't even tremble.
"...Hou. You're really amazing."
The thin man seems genuinely impressed.
"Yeah"
He wants to hurry and get out of this bath... While thinking of all
sorts of things, he answers without flinching. His answers become like
that in intervals.
While that's happening, Basara hears another voice.
Clearly it's a woman's voice—it's Mio and Yuki's.
Why? While looking up, he discovered the reason.
The men and women's baths aren't entirely separate rooms, but are
split by a high wall.
In short, they are connected at the ceiling, and furthermore as they
both use the same water pipes, the washing area is on opposite sides of
the wall.
Due to that, the girls' high voices can be heard on the men's side.
"Mio-sama grows as she submits to Basara-sama" "—Zest-san—has
also grown" "What's nicer, this or Basara-san's tongue—" "It's been a
while since we've bathed without Basara, it's refreshing—Usually
together—" "It's always just embarrassing things—" "—I'm super
happy" "With syrup, lotion, using swimsuits—"
Parts of what they're saying was cut off by sounds of the shower.
But Basara and these unlawful men stopped their hands, listening to
the conversation.
It's a saga of a man.
"What kind of person is this Basara? He's young but he's something
else."
"It's just like this old man when he was young. This person called
Basara. During the Bishamon Conflict, this old man protected women
and got eight of them"
"Hey boy. To be able to please that many women is the proof of a
man. What a man, this Basara"
"Yeah"
As he said that, Basara started washing himself up faster.
Thinking about it, Mio and the other girls don't realize their voices are
heard.
At least the unlawful men's attention was no longer on him.
He felt like he also heard another woman's voice, but Basara washed
the soap off his body and reached for the shampoo.
"Ah. This is Basara's shampoo"
He can hear Mio's voice.
Hearing that, it's true that he doesn't have his shampoo.
On the way there he gave it to Mio in front of the convenience store
and he didn't take it back from her.
"There's a gap on top of the wall here, if Basara knows can we pass it
to him through there?"
"That's right. Basara—Can you hear me? Basara—"
"...Y, yeah. I hear you."
Basara answered, well aware that these unlawful men's gaze are on
him.
"I have your Shampoo. I'm going to throw it. Are you okay with
that?"
"...Please"
"Ay!"
"—!?"
The shampoo Mio throws with her strength flew off elsewhere.
Basara stood up and read where it would fall, and moved to pick it
up."
"Sorry! I think I threw it weird"
"It's okay. I got it. Thanks."
"That's good," he could hear Mio's relieved voice.
And then, Basara once more turned to the men around him.
Their sharp eyes are trained on him.
Are they going to teach him a lesson for bad manners in a public bath?
Or are they going to get angry at him for pretending that Mio and the
other girls' conversation wasn't about him?
Even if he looks away, he was aware of the bad expression on their
faces.
"I see. So you're Basara, boy."
The thin man smiles in a shark-like manner.
"You're no normal kid, boy" "Just like the old man as a youth" "A
man of values. So there are several women you're protecting" "Big bro,
you've fought before haven't you?"
"I'm just a bit wild"
The thin man stood up.
"Boy. No, Basara. I've taken a liking to you. Let's talk"
And then, he placed a hand on Basara's shoulder.
"About the Bishamon conflict. I want you to listen to me about it"
The plump man also stood and placed a hand on Basara's other
shoulder.
The other men also look at Basara.
It doesn't seem bad. And there are smiles on their faces.
"Yes"
As such, there was no way he could refuse.
