Chapter 30: Unforgettable Bath

On a day filled with meticulous planning for the trap against the 3rd colossal biomachine monster, Narumi found himself working tirelessly until the sun began to set. Just as he was about to call it a day, a young maid entered the workshop, informing him that a warm bath had been prepared, and she would be the one to assist him today.

Narumi looked up, somewhat curious, and asked, "Why not Seraphina?" Seraphina had become Narumi's maid little sister and had always been the one to call and assist him for his bath.

The young maid replied, "Seraphina-sama has gone to help Her Highness Christina cook dinner. It seems like today will be a big dinner with many of Lord Narumi favorite dishes, so Her Highness Christina couldn't do it alone and called upon Seraphina-sama and several other maids to assist."

Understanding the reason behind Seraphina's absence, Narumi nodded. "I see." He then followed the young maid to his private bathroom, unaware of the mischievous glint in her eyes.

As Narumi entered the dressing room, he was greeted by a short but stunning blonde-haired girl with a alluring figure, barely covered by her hair. Unconsciously, the words slipped out, "Beautiful..." Narumi realized he had been deceived by the young maid once again, but when he turned around, she had already vanished.

With no other choice, Narumi approached Amelia, who seemed surprised by this unexpected turn of events. He picked up a bath towel from a nearby basket and draped it over Amelia's body. "Amelia, it seems like we've been tricked by the maid. If you want to use my private bathroom, I'll wait outside until you finish bathing."

"Narumi-sama, even though you've already seen all of my skin, are you not going to take any responsibility?" Amelia replied with a playful smile. Narumi chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, Amelia, but my heart already belongs to Christina, so I can't."

Narumi understand that Amelia was just teasing him and not considering having him taking responsibility seriously, Amelia continued to pursue him with a seductive smile. "I understand that Narumi-sama can't accommodate any other girl in your narrow heart anymore, but even so, I still want you to play along for seeing my skin."

Narumi raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Very well, Amelia. Please tell me what you have in mind." Amelia's smile widened mischievously as she leaned closer to Narumi. "How about a game of truth or dare? I'll let you choose first."

Narumi pondered for a moment, contemplating the possibilities that lay before him. A game of truth or dare with Amelia could prove to be an interesting diversion from their daily routines. He couldn't deny the allure of Amelia's playful charm and mischievous nature.

"Alright, Amelia," Narumi finally responded, a spark of anticipation in his eyes. "I choose... truth." Amelia's eyes gleamed with excitement as she considered her question carefully. After a brief pause, she leaned forward, crossing her arms, and asked, "Narumi-sama, what is your deepest fear?"

Narumi's expression turned pensive as he contemplated his answer. He had faced numerous challenges and life-threatening situations throughout his journey, but his deepest fear was something he only shared with Christina. With a hint of vulnerability in his voice, he replied, "My deepest fear... is losing the people I care about. The thought of being powerless to protect them, to see them suffer or be taken away."

Amelia's playful demeanor softened, and she reached out, placing both of her hands gently around Narumi's. Her voice carried reassurance and warmth. "I understand, Narumi-sama. The fear you carry, it's not yours to bear alone. Remember, you have us—Christina, Seraphina, me, the knights, and everyone else. We're here to support you, to stand by your side, no matter what."

Narumi offered her a grateful smile, appreciating her understanding. "Thank you, Amelia. Your words mean a lot to me." Amelia withdrew her hand, her mischievous smile returning. "Now, it's my turn to choose. I choose... dare."

Narumi's curiosity piqued, intrigued by the dare Amelia had in mind. He leaned in closer, his voice filled with anticipation. "Alright, Amelia. What dare do you have for me?" Amelia's voice dropped to a soft whisper, adding an air of mystery to her words. "I dare you to wash my back in this private bathroom."

Narumi blinked, momentarily taken aback by the unexpected request. However, he quickly regained his composure and smirked. "Very well, even though you know that I can't accept you into my heart, are you still willing to be that intimate with me, Amelia?"

Amelia held a special place in Narumi's heart as one of his favorite characters. He admired her beauty, which rivaled Christina's, and her unique body style stood out among all the characters in the Loli Princess Novel. The prospect of sharing an intimate moment with Amelia, free from the complexities of love, made Narumi eager to say "yes" without hesitation.

Amelia's eyes smoldered with a mix of determination and affection, her voice a husky whisper. "If I said I didn't care, I would be lying. But just for this moment, I want to be the one by your side, Narumi-sama," she confessed, her words dripping with desire. Narumi's smirk widened. "I see. Then I accept your dare. Let's make this bath truly unforgettable."

A mischievous glimmer danced in Amelia's eyes as she gracefully approached the expansive bathtub, exuding a captivating allure with every elegant step she took. Narumi followed suit, feeling the anticipation between them building. The warm, inviting atmosphere of the private bathroom seemed to intensify as they prepared for the intimate encounter.

As Narumi and Amelia approached the bathtub, Amelia turned back to face him, her gaze locked with his, her lips forming a sultry smile, as she untied the bath towel with deliberate slowness. It cascaded to the floor, revealing her alluring figure bathed in the flickering candlelight, a vision of seduction.

"Really beautiful..." Narumi couldn't help but be captivated by Amelia's undeniable beauty as she stepped into the water with a seductive gesture, the steam rising around her like a veil of temptation. "Ufufu, it's an honor to be praised by Narumi-sama," Amelia said, then Narumi took a deep breath, feeling a mixture of desire and reverence. With confident yet gentle movements, he joined her in the soothing warmth of the bathtub, the water enveloping their bodies.

Gently, Narumi retrieved a sponge and a bottle of fragrant bath soap, his touch infused with anticipation. He moistened the sponge, lathering it with the intoxicating scent, his hands radiating delicate reverence as they glided across Amelia's supple skin. Each stroke sent tremors of pleasure coursing through her, evoking moans of pure bliss.

Amelia couldn't contain her delighted giggle. "Ufufu, Narumi-sama, you're really good at taking care of girls." Narumi chuckled, enjoying the playful banter. "I have been taking care of my younger sister a lot when she was still a child," he revealed, reminiscing about the past. With each stroke of the sponge, their connection deepened, and their laughter filled the air.

Narumi's caress spoke volumes, conveying both tenderness and untamed longing. His fingertips traced intricate patterns, leaving Amelia yearning for more, her body craving his touch. The act of washing Amelia's back became a sensual ballet, an intimate dance of vulnerability and trust, drawing them closer with every shared heartbeat.

As Narumi concluded washing Amelia's back, her voice quivered with a blend of desire and surrender. "Narumi-sama..." she uttered, turning to meet his gaze, her hands enveloping him in a tender embrace, their bodies merging in an impassioned union. Their lips hovered tantalizingly close, but Narumi interrupted the moment, gently placing a finger upon her lips. "I apologize, Amelia, but my lips are reserved solely for my beloved, Christina."

Undeterred, Amelia's playful smile persisted, her eyes dancing with mischief. "Ufufu, Narumi-sama, you truly are a devoted lover. But what about your cheeks or your neck? Are they fair game?" she teased, her eyes sparkling. Narumi replied with a smile of his own, "Amelia, you are truly a playful girl. Do you really want to be intimate with me that much?"

"Even if I can't be your lover or if you can't love me, I don't care about that. Just being able to help and assist Narumi-sama in his work, that already makes me happy enough. Even if I always tell myself that, it's just in my head that seems to understand. But my heart seems to be more honest and longs for deeper intimacy with Narumi-sama more and more."

"I see, if Amelia really likes me that much, then except for something that I need to keep for my beloved Christina, I will do anything you want," Narumi responded, his voice filled with a mix of tenderness and a hint of longing. Amidst the tranquility of the bath, the world outside faded away, leaving only the two of them, caught in a delicate balance between friendship and something more. The boundaries of their relationship blurred, and in that moment, they discovered a new level of intimacy.

The candlelight brightened the water cascading around them, creating an alluring atmosphere. Narumi embraced Amelia from the side, kissing her forehead and inhaling the scent of her hair. Amelia, in turn, kissed his chest, surrendering herself to his care. As their bodies pressed against each other, Narumi continued to caress Amelia's smooth curves, eliciting soft gasps and a rising heartbeat. Their connection deepened, their desires intertwining in a tapestry of shared longing.

"Narumi-sama, I'm really happy. I've never experienced something like this before. Is this what they call true love?" Amelia asked, her voice filled with a mixture of wonder and happiness. Narumi smiled warmly, his eyes reflecting a genuine affection. "I don't know, Amelia. I didn't even have a bath together with Christina. But let's explore these new experiences together."

As they lost themselves in the tender moments they shared, their hearts embraced vulnerability, allowing an unfiltered connection to blossom. Their whispered conversations filled the air, a symphony of shared secrets and desires, each word strengthening the bond between them. In that private haven, a profound understanding blossomed, blurring the lines between friendship and something deeper.

Little did they know that their daring game of truth or dare would unravel layers of emotions they had kept hidden. The bath became a catalyst for a profound understanding between Narumi and Amelia, setting in motion a chain of events that would challenge their perceptions and redefine their journey together.
