Chapter 48: Bathhouse Trouble and a Test of Attributes

This…

Absolutely impossible…

You lose a lot of water when bathing too…

But…

Joey isn’t a Succubus…

He didn’t know what a male Succubus’s constitution was like either…

And Aiki’s expression didn’t look like she was lying…

But it’s true…

Joey suddenly remembered…

Normally, because his stats were high, he almost never sweated from exhaustion…

Except when wearing this Demon King Attire…

The Demon King Attire was extremely hot, but it was the only formal attire the Demon King could wear for official appearances…

If he tried to argue back…

He’d definitely give himself away…

Maybe Aiki would notice something and realize he wasn’t a male Succubus…

That would be the end…

But…

He really didn’t want his subordinate to see his body!!!

That’s just… too embarrassing!!!

Joey’s face turned red as he thought.

He felt as if he was being assimilated by this female-dominated world…

If it were in his previous life, bathing with a girl would have made him so happy he’d blossom…

But maybe not…

Perhaps it was just because he was pure-hearted as Chunan that he felt embarrassed…

As Joey was muttering to himself, Aiki had already picked him up out of the bath.

“Young Master, you’ve soaked long enough…”

“Hey!! Wait!!!”

Joey struggled in Aiki’s arms.

“I… I can wash myself!!!”

The sensation was completely different from wearing clothes!!!

“Young Master, don’t be shy…”

Aiki pressed against Joey from behind, whispering in his ear:

“I’ll clean every inch…”

“Wa…wait…there…mgh!!!”

“Young Master’s hair is so lush…”

Aiki’s expression became more and more unhinged, her eyes filling with mischief and seduction…

“I heard people with lush hair also have strong desires…”

“Could it be… Young Master looks so serious and strict, but actually…”

“No…haa…don’t…”

Ahhh…

This is bad…

The Young Master’s begging expression is just too cute…

Her rationality was about to evaporate…

I want to… eat the Young Master right now…

Aiki licked her rosy lips, then opened her mouth, showing her fangs, and just as she was about to hold Joey’s face and kiss him…

“Woooah!!! So there’s a bathroom here too!!!”

At that moment!!!

At the most critical moment!!!

Chiyang burst through the door from outside, completely naked, and jumped into the bath.

“Sploosh!!!!!!”

“Phew!! So good! It’s been so long since I had a comfortable bath!!!”

Chiyang raised her head happily…

“…”

And saw Aiki bathing Joey, both frozen in a nearly-kissing pose.

“Ehhhhhhhhh!!!!!!”

Chiyang screamed, then charged forward!

“Joey!! Joey!!! Damn Aiki!!! Don’t do weird things to my Joey!!!”

And so, a farce ended in a three-person mixed bath…

“…”

This is bad…

Aiki looked at Joey, whose gaze had become guarded…

It was like a rabbit seeing through a hunter’s trap and growing wary…

Young Master Joey…

Seems to be starting to be on guard against me…

Aiki frowned, then gave Chiyang a cold glare…

I clearly mixed enough sleeping powder to knock out a giant python five stories tall into the fried rice…

Is this Magic Dragon’s constitution just too strong…?

Chiyang, like an energetic puppy, shook the water droplets from her hair.

“Hey! You’re splashing me in the eyes!!!”

Joey complained, “Can’t you dry off with a towel?! You stupid dragon.”

“Huh? Towel?”

Chiyang frowned, “That’s too much trouble! Shaking dry is fine…”

Chiyang ignored Joey’s order and kept wildly shaking her head.

“Aaahhh! I’ve had enough!!!”

Joey grabbed Chiyang’s head and used a towel to dry her hair.

“Uwahhh… I don’t want to! Don’t! It hurts!!!”

Chiyang struggled under Joey’s hand.

***

Aiki’s gaze grew colder…

Why…

Is it not okay when I touch you…

But that Magic Dragon…

Young Master…

So biased…

Joey felt that cold gaze and turned to look at Aiki…

That killer stare again…

In this female-dominated world, wanting to touch my body…

Is she trying to warn me that no matter how strong I am, I’m still a man…?

But…

Joey’s face reddened…

As a two-lives virgin, how could he withstand such temptation…

His heart itched, but to maintain the Demon King’s pride, he had to do something…

Hmm…

He decided to let out a cold snort to warn the other party…

“…”

Thus, his face flushed, eyes full of resentment, Joey looked at Aiki…

“Hmph!!!”

He snorted cutely…

Then turned and left…

Young Master…

So cute…

But did I…

Make him angry…?

Aiki finally realized the seriousness of the situation…

The rest day at the Demon King’s Castle passed quickly…

The battle between Chiyang and Leona raised both Chiyang’s fame and the Human Race’s Steam Technology weapons.

Leona and her subordinates started participating in the research of Steam Technology weapons, and in exchange, the new inventions of Arya and Dwarf Granny also needed help from Leona’s people.

The Demon Race began progressing little by little…

After the rest day, Joey, Aiki, and Chiyang returned to school.

Because of what happened in the bathroom, the relationship between Aiki and Joey became awkward.

“Hey! Chiyang, let’s go, first period is an indoor class.”

Joey picked up his book and tugged at the still-sleepy Chiyang.

“Yawn…”

Chiyang yawned, “Got it… Why do people have to go to class… It’s like prison…”

Aiki watched Joey pulling Chiyang, then stood up as well.

“Young Master…”

When Joey met Aiki’s eyes, he quickly looked away, face reddening, eyes darting.

“You… You’re not even in the same Academy as us… No need to follow us specifically…”

With those words, Joey turned and left with Chiyang…

Aiki watched the two leave, pursing her lips…

The indoor class at Warrior Academy was still taught by the same teacher with a heavy ‘class’ flavor.

“Well, as everyone knows, everyone’s body contains Magic…”

“It’s just the amount differs, and Magic is divided into several attributes…”

“Fire, water, wind, thunder, and grass…”

“And those of you at Warrior Academy can imbue these Magic Attributes into your weapons for enchantments. With weapons created by modern Steam Technology, if you master it, your combat ability will soar like a tiger with wings.”

Chiyang listened to the teacher’s heavy lecture, her eyelids drooping as she dozed off again at her desk.

Joey wasn’t interested in this basic knowledge either, and started thinking about what kind of fun he could stir up next time…

Only Anya, who mistakenly thought she was Joey’s fellow countryman and had nearly been eaten by a Landshark a few days ago, was listening intently and taking notes.

“For the next class, the drunkard… No! Teacher Kail will check everyone’s base attributes and current level. That’s all, class dismissed!”

Huh?

Testing attributes?

Joey’s ears perked up…

But he…

Had all kinds of Magic attributes…
