Chapter 48 : A Pervert Envy

「Well then, let’s book a double room first and go bathe! 」

「… Hah? What is that? Is it powerful? 」

Leaving the labyrinth, Aria and the others were heading towards the inn in the city. After explaining the situation to the mistress of the inn, she quickly arranged a double room for them. Vulcan was absent for the time being since she’s tasked with the job to arrange suitable clothes for the beauty-in-rags.

Aria, who wanted to cleanse the girl’s body, proposed for them to take a bath.

「This is going to be a pain in the ass…….」 Aria muttered as she saw that the girl had lost every bit of her memories, to the point that she didn’t even remember anything about baths.

「Let’s see… A bath is to soak your body in hot water to clean it, you know. Don’t you remember experiencing it before? Uhm… Come to think of it, can you tell me your name? 」

「Ah, so that’s the place, huh… I do know about it but I never did it before. As for name, my name is Powerful One… No, to be exact, my name “was” Powerful One. Now I don’t have anything to call myself with.」

「So that’s the case… Well then, I guess you also need a name! Is there a name that you wish to be called by? 」

Even while being unable to cope with the girl who couldn’t even remember her own name, Aria still asked what she wished to be called by.

「U~hm, call me with whatever you wish to call me.」But all she got was a half hearted reply. Or rather, the beauty-in-rags seemed to be more interested in Tama who sat obediently on top of the bed. Seeing her, Tama just let our a purr as if to wait and see the situation.

「In that case, how about I give you a temporary name? In fact, I have a name that really suits you!」

「Do as you wish. Though I’ve said it before, I don’t stick by something like a name.」

「Well then… Starting from today, your name will be Stella-chan! It’s a word that represents beauty in my birthplace.」

「Stella… Though I don’t understand what beauty this means, it has a nice ring in my ears. Moreover, I’m satisfied as long as it is the name that was given by a woman of your caliber.」

「Fufu, it’s great to hear that you like it. Please take care of me after this, Stella-chan♪」

Despite wondering about the reason for her respectful tone towards herself, which made Aria more curious about the girl-in-tatte-… Stella, she still beamed with a smile seeing the girl pleased with her chosen name.

（Fumu. Stella, huh, nice name. As expected of my master, she has a good naming sense.）Tama was also raising a purr of admiration for Aria’s naming sense with a 「Nya~~!」. Hearing his voice, Stella’s breath became rough as she said「OOO! Powerful One’s voice is as adorable as ever!」.

When he saw her excited state, Tama felt a chill run through his spine as he recalled his great escape from her last night in order to protect his chastity. He hid himself under the bed, shivering in fear.

「WHA!? Powerful One, why are you running away from me! I just want that powerful seed of yours!! 」Stella said so to Tama, who looked up from under the bed.

（That’s what I’m most afraid of, damn it! U~h… Master, please do something about this perve–…）

Even while trembling in fear, Tama asked Aria for salvation from the deepest part of his heart.

「KORA! Stella-chan, you can’t do that, you know? You’re scaring Tama, you know… Moreover, no matter what you said, Tama can’t impregnate you, HE’S STILL A CHILD.」

Seeing the frightened Tama, Aria stepped in between them to stop Stella. As his master, and as a woman who was falling in love with him, she had to do what she could to protect his chastity.

Well… despite Aria having a history of getting herself in heat and chasing Tama like a monkey in heat… That case aside.

「U~h… It can’t be helped. If you say so, I’ll give up for now…」After being warned by Aria with 「NO, YOU CAN’T DO THAT YOU KNOW?」, Stella withdrew reluctantly.

（Uhm, as I thought. This girl… Stella, though I don’t know why, seems to obey what my master says.）

Yes, Tama noticed that point about her. Stella might be respectful… or fearful of Aria, it must be one of those reasons. Therefore, it’s possible to fix her habit as long as Aria was the one who corrected her.

「Well then, let’s dip into the bath! It’s just the perfect time after the mistress of the inn filled in the hot water.」

As she straightened herself, Aria recommended the bath to Stella.

「So it’s what you said a while ago, about bathing in warm water. Unfortunately, it’s not as interesting as having the child of Powerful One! 」

Stella replied vigorously to Aria. Looking at Stella, who brimmed with curiosity, Aria can’t help her thought.

「She really is like a child…」.

At the same time, she felt that she couldn’t just leave her alone… Which was mainly due to her sense of justice.

「OOH！　WOOOAH, SO MANY BUBBLES ARE COMING FROM A STONE! 」

「This thing is called soap, something that you use to wash your body, Stella-chan. Now then, be a good girl and stay still so that I can wash your body, okay? 」

Thus, Aria and Stella had such an exchange in the bathtub of the inn―― In their birthday suits. Stella’s curiosity was piqued by the bubbling soap in Aria’s hands.

Uhm, even though I’m supposed to not look at another woman’s body except for my master’s, this is really a ‘can’t be helped’ situation…

Tama was looking at their naked exchange from one corner of the bath while pondering about such things.

「You’re going in too, right, Tama? 」Aria invited Tama to dip along with them. Tama unintentionally retorted
Who’d want to get into the same bathtub as that perve-…!

No, wait a minute? Though this pervert is being obedient towards my master, isn’t this still too early to trust her? I don’t know when, but I have to stay at my master’s side as her knight as long as there’s a chance that she’ll bare her fangs.

Thus, in order to protect Aria as her knight《Pet》, he decided to dip into the bath.

「WOOW！ The dirt on my body peeled off really fast! This soap is amazing!! 」

Stella raised her voice, amazed. Her huge breasts were jiggling around due to her sudden movement.

「Well then, now that I’m done washing your body, next is your hair. Please close your eyes so the bubbles don’t hurt them. 」

「WAAA———!? No, I hate painful things! I absolutely won’t open my eyes! 」

Stella tightly shut her eyes after Aria’s warning, scared of hurting her eyes. While she worried about the foam, Aria gently washed Stella’s hair.

「U~h… Are you done? 」

「Fufufu, just a bit more, I just need to wash it with hot water, you see.」

「OOH！ What is this!? My body feels refreshed! 」

Stella became quite excited after Aria finished washing the bubbles from her body. That might be the natural reaction of someone who had never experienced a bath after cleaning their body.

「After washing your body, the best way to end your bath is to immerse yourself in the bathtub ♪」

「Immerse… In the bathtub? Do you mean sitting in this hot water? Why… ?」

「For humans, especially for women, warming one’s body in hot water is a matter of life and death, you know, Stella-chan? 」

「U~huh? I don’t know about that but if you say so, it can’t be wrong… Oooh, it feels sooo good! 」

Stella still couldn’t understand what Aria meant by “immersing oneself in a hot water bath being a matter of life and death for a woman”, but she did as Aria told her anyway.
Somehow, she got really immersed in that feeling.

「Now it’s Tama’s turn.」

Aria was on her knees as she called on Tama.

「Nya~n! 」

Replying cheerfully, Tama then came up to her from the corner of the room and then… Jumping up to her with a pyon~, he lay face up on her lap.
Aria always started to wash him from his fluffy stomach. So, to match that, Tama always got on the appropriate posture.

Nevertheless… In this posture, Tama was always taking a glimpse of her beautiful face from beyond her bountiful melons.
Even after experiencing such a lifestyle for a while, Tama was still moved to tears by such a magnificent spectacle to this day.
While Tama was in the Seventh Heaven* from being washed gently by Aria, Stella interjected with “Zuban!!”.

「S-So sly! I want to wash the Powerful One’s body too! 」

Standing up from the bathtub, she protested to Aria with an envious look in her eyes.

{*Seventh Heaven: Named from the belief that there are seven levels of heaven, the seventh and most exalted being the abode of God and the angels. A state of intense happiness; bliss.}

「Fufufu, you can’t do that, you know, Stella-chan? Washing up Tama is my exclusive privilege as his owner. This is the only thing that I won’t pass to another.」

Such a gentle Aria would surely lend Tama to Stella, or so one would expect… But Stella was rejected.
After all, there were three most enjoyable moments in a day for Aria, and she wouldn’t let anyone have them. And one of those was to frolic with Tama as she washed him up. Thus, she had no intention to let go of such an enjoyable moment, even if it was a request from a child-like Stella.

「Aah, how dashing of you, Powerful One! My heart is throbbing just by seeing you! Uuuuh! 」

Stella commented in a seductive voice, seeming flustered, as she looked at the scenery of Aria and Tama doing “Washing up NyanNyanNyan” with an envious look on her face.
