"Serving Master during his bath will make Master happy, and Ikaros is a multifunctional entertainment angel, so this is something I must do."
With those words, Ikaros stepped into the bathtub without the slightest hesitation.
"Things like this really can make people happy, but who taught you all this?!"
Suppressing his impulses, Nakano Yu did everything he could to keep himself from looking at Ikaros. He simply could not understand how Ikaros had become like this. He had only met her this afternoon, and back then she had still been a simple and kind-hearted girl. But now...
Where had this girl learned all these things?!
Rubbing his forehead, Nakano Yu felt nothing but complete helplessness.
"At the hotel Master took me to, I connected to the public network and learned several methods that can make Master happy."
There was still little expression on Ikaros's face. Only a faint blush had appeared on her cheeks, probably because of the high temperature of the water. After all, in Ikaros's current understanding, the word embarrassment did not even exist. At least, that was what Nakano Yu believed.
As she spoke, Ikaros slowly leaned forward and reached out toward Nakano Yu.
Her delicate hand, as smooth as a lotus root, slowly emerged from the water. The tips of her fingers touched the young man's chest, while droplets of water fell from her hair into the bathtub, creating small but clearly visible ripples.
Faced with Ikaros's temptation, Nakano Yu had to admit that his heart skipped a beat.
But... he did not want things to be like this.
Nakano Yu did not know whether Ikaros was doing this because she had feelings for him or whether it was simply part of her duty as a multifunctional entertainment angel to serve her Master.
If it was the former, Nakano Yu thought it was almost impossible, since they had known each other for less than half a day. And if it was the latter, then he did not like it at all.
He liked Ikaros, but the reason his heart had skipped a beat was simply because of her beautiful appearance. But what about Ikaros? Did she like him because of his identity as her "Master"?
Besides, since he had shared a very intimate moment with Tachibana Marika just a short while ago, Nakano Yu was still perfectly capable of restraining his urges.
"Ikaros, don't ever do something like this again. You should only do these kinds of things with the person you love."
With a quiet sigh, Nakano Yu reached out and gently patted Ikaros on the head. Looking at her confused expression, the young man snapped his fingers.
"Snap!"
With a crisp sound, Ikaros's vision became blurred. Nakano Yu's figure vanished from her sight in an instant, leaving behind only the empty room and the set of clothes beside her.
"Master? Didn't he like it... This can only be done with the person you love?"
Murmuring to herself, Ikaros lowered her small head.
She did not quite understand the meaning of Nakano Yu's words. Had Master rejected her?
It seemed like he had not, yet at the same time, it also seemed like he had.
She had done it to make Master happy, but Master did not seem happy at all.
However, from Master's reaction, Ikaros concluded that his emotions had been greatly stirred, which meant that her actions had indeed been effective.
But then why had Master not accepted them?
"Only with the person you love..."
Suddenly, it seemed as though Ikaros had realized something. She quietly repeated those words, put on her clothes, and left the bedroom.
After leaving her room, Ikaros decisively headed toward Nakano Yu's bedroom.
The bedroom door was not locked, so Ikaros opened it and immediately went inside.
After briefly looking around the room, she decisively hid beneath Nakano Yu's large bed.
Of course, Nakano Yu knew nothing about Ikaros's actions. After being interrupted by Ikaros like this, he had completely lost the desire to continue bathing.
He quickly washed himself and stepped out of the bathtub.
Wrapped in a towel, Nakano Yu headed straight for his bedroom and soon arrived at the door.
But before opening the door and entering, Nakano Yu sharply noticed that something was wrong.
His ears twitched slightly as he caught the sounds coming from inside his bedroom.
Raising an eyebrow, he listened carefully and soon recognized two familiar voices.
"Hey, Yotsuba, will this really scare Yu?"
"Hmm... it should. Yu hasn't had much to do these past few days, so he's completely relaxed. As long as we catch him by surprise, we'll definitely scare him!"
"But... if I remember correctly, Yu has always been very brave."
"Don't worry! I guarantee it'll work!"
"Shh! Wait! I think I just heard something!"
Listening to the conversation inside the room, Nakano Yu's expression became somewhat unusual.
Nakano Yu immediately recognized the owners of those voices. One of them was, without a doubt, his beloved fourth sister, Nakano Yotsuba.
The owner of the other voice was the second young lady of the Fujiwara family, Fujiwara Chika, who had been left alone the previous night.
The two of them were currently plotting how to scare Nakano Yu and were simply waiting for him to walk through the door so they could surprise him.
However... Nakano Yu possessed exceptionally sharp hearing. Not even their quietest whispers could escape his ears.
Listening to the conversation between the two girls inside the room, Nakano Yu smiled helplessly.
Indeed, with Fujiwara Chika's lively personality, it was no surprise that she got along so well with Yotsuba. In such a short amount of time, the two of them had already come up with a plan to scare him. But...
Thinking of this, Nakano Yu waved his hand. Moonlight poured in through the window, and the moment it shone upon the young man, his figure disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already standing behind Yotsuba and Fujiwara Chika inside the room.
Watching the two girls crouching in front of him, ready to jump out and scare him at any moment, Nakano Yu raised an eyebrow but said nothing, quietly waiting for them to notice him on their own.
...
"Hey, u-um... Yotsuba, do you also feel a chill running down your back?"
A few moments later, Fujiwara Chika was the first to notice that something was wrong. Looking at the third shadow cast before them by the moonlight, she swallowed hard, poked Yotsuba, and asked with a slight stutter.
"Shh! Don't talk, Yu will hear you!"
But Yotsuba did not think so at all. She placed a finger against Fujiwara Chika's lips, signaling her to stop talking.
However, the moment she finished speaking, she caught sight of another shadow in the room from the corner of her eye.
Gulp~
The moment she saw that shadow, Yotsuba swallowed hard. Her head lowered, and her pupils trembled.
At that moment, Yotsuba suddenly remembered the horror movie she had watched yesterday. In a situation like this, if she turned around, she would definitely see the terrifying face of a monster.
What should she do? Yu was probably still taking a bath, he couldn't come!
Biting her lip, Yotsuba suddenly jumped to her feet, turned around, and charged toward whatever was behind her, shouting:
"Fujiwara, hurry! I'll hold it off, go get Yu!"
The moment she said those words, Yotsuba felt herself collide with a broad and warm embrace.
Not caring who the owner of that embrace was, Yotsuba frantically raised her hands and started hitting the other person. But the more she hit, the more clearly she could feel someone's strange gaze.
Gathering her courage, she slowly raised her head, and her somewhat innocent eyes met the young man's gaze.
Only after a long moment did Yotsuba finally manage to force out a smile. Her brain worked at full speed until it completely froze, and then she said to the young man:
"G-good evening, Yu... I... um... we came to serve you!"
