Chapter 145: Bathing The Two Dragons

The soft sensation of something pressing and rubbing against Sui's back was unmistakable. It felt unexpectedly pleasant.

But…

"Tohru, what exactly are you doing?" Sui asked, puzzled.

"I'm giving you a back rub," Tohru responded casually, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "Isn't this how it's supposed to be done?"

"…Have you been watching weird shows again?" Sui asked, momentarily speechless.

Tohru often learned about the human world through TV programs, which she then shared with Kanna.

"This is how they rub backs on late-night TV," Tohru explained with utmost seriousness. "Isn't it nice?"

Sui nearly choked. 'Is she learning about human culture from late-night TV?' he thought. But on second thought, he decided not to object—it was really comfortable, after all. Especially since Tohru's chest was… substantial. Bigger than a certain tsundere's. It felt incredibly relaxing against his back.

"By the way, Tohru, how do you and Kanna usually bathe?" Sui asked. He realized that he had never actually seen them take a bath.

"Oh, we usually bathe in a lake," Tohru answered matter-of-factly.

"A lake?" Sui raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, like that beautiful lake we saw on TV," Tohru continued.

"Lake Baikal?" Sui guessed.

"Yes, I think that's the name," Tohru nodded, looking serious.

Sui was speechless again. Did these two dragons fly all the way to Russia Lake Baikal for a bath when he wasn't around? Were they not afraid of terrifying the local residents?

He also felt slightly guilty. He had never paid much attention to their bathing habits before.

"We prefer to bathe in our dragon forms," Tohru added, noticing Sui's confused expression. "Every creature likes to bathe in the form they find most comfortable."

"That's true," Sui agreed.

"Sometimes Kanna and I lick each other's bodies when we're in dragon form," Tohru continued.

"Lick each other's… bodies?" Sui felt his mind spiral into dangerous territory, imagining Tohru and Kanna engaging in this peculiar activity.

"In our dragon forms, of course," Tohru clarified, laughing as she saw Sui's shocked expression.

"Oh, okay," Sui nodded, relieved. It made sense—animals like cats and dogs did this all the time. It appeared dragons weren't so different in that respect.

"I'd love to lick Sui's body too," Tohru said suddenly, her face blushing as she leaned closer. She stuck out her tongue and began licking Sui's back.

"That's enough!" Sui quickly protested, fearing he might lose his composure.

But even as he said it, he couldn't deny that it felt pretty good. It reminded him of the previous night, the sensation of Tohru's long, flexible, and surprisingly skilled tongue. It was completely different from a certain tsundere's shy hesitations.

"Let's switch," Tohru suggested.

"Alright," Sui agreed, turning around to face her. 

Due to the small size of the bathtub, Tohru moved closer, pressing her soft chest against his. Sui could feel her warm breath on his skin, their faces mere inches apart.

In that moment, they both felt a spark, as if struck by electricity.

Tohru's cheeks flushed, her golden eyes glittering with excitement. Her lips parted slightly, revealing her small, pointed fangs, while her green tail swayed rhythmically outside the tub.

Just then, Kanna entered the room.

"Sui, I'm hungry," she announced, as innocent as ever.

"Uh… right, I'll make something for you," Sui said, snapping back to reality. He quickly got out of the tub and dressed with Tohru.

Afterward, Sui prepared a lavish dinner, and the three of them enjoyed the meal together.

"Tohru, Kanna, let me help you bathe," Sui said, wanting to make amends for not paying attention to their needs before.

"Really?" Tohru's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Kanna's tail twitched in delight as well.

Together, the trio headed to the rooftop. Since it was late, the area was deserted.

Tohru immediately transformed into her dragon form, which resembled a traditional Western dragon, her body covered in shimmering green scales.

This was Sui's first time seeing Kanna in her dragon form. She was much smaller, with snow-white feathers covering her petite body and pristine white wings. She looked ethereal and pure.

Both dragons lay down on the rooftop, and Sui connected a hose to the faucet, spraying water over their massive bodies.

"Feeling good?" Sui asked with a smile.

"Mm," Tohru's eyes were filled with bliss.

Kanna, too, seemed content, her eyes half-closed, much like when she lounged at home.

After thoroughly bathing both dragons, Tohru stretched out her enormous tongue and licked Sui's face in thanks.

Despite her ferocious appearance with sharp fangs, Sui couldn't help but recall their earlier kiss.

Not to be left out, Kanna extended her smaller tongue and gave Sui's cheek a lick as well.

Back inside the house, Sui bumped into Erina, who had just emerged from her room.

"Huh? Did you move into a new place?" Erina asked.

"Yeah," Sui nodded. "What's up?"

Blushing slightly, Erina stammered, "I… I want to continue our cooking competition tonight!"

"Are you sure you're up for it?" Sui asked, skeptical.

Erina's face turned a deeper shade of red, but her pride wouldn't allow her to back down. "Of course! This time, I won't lose to you!"

Sui sighed inwardly. The tsundere always said that, but the outcome never changed. She would resist, only to end up being carried off to her bedroom, where she'd softly murmur, "No," before enjoying the whole process.

That night was no different.

"You've lost again," Sui said, looking down at her.

Erina's face flushed with frustration. "Impossible! How could I lose again?"

Sui chuckled. "A loss is a loss. Accept it."

With that, he scooped her up in his arms.

"Let me go, you scoundrel!" Erina protested, struggling in vain. But Sui carried her to the bed, undressing her like a helpless lamb.

"Next time… I won't lose again!" she vowed, though that night, just like every other, Erina's high pitch voice echoes in her room.

The next morning, Sui went to school with Erina and Hisako as usual.

"By the way, Sui, could I ask you for a favor?" Erina asked unexpectedly.

"Of course," Sui replied without hesitation.

"There's a restaurant I wanted to try today, but I won't have time. Would you mind going in my place?" she asked.
