[Hanako] Chapter 9: Life in the Estate

[Throndir]

Both of them began to stir awake.

"A bath... Mmm... a bath with Hanako... relaxing..." Trudy said half-asleep, a moment later, her eyes bolted open. "A BATH?!" Her entire face got really red.

"Hmm... I would love to..." Minette said, even she had a slight tinge of pink on her cheeks.

"U-umm...! I-I..."

"O-okay!"

[Asta]

This may actually be a little more embarrassing than anticipated.

"Communal bathing is a long-standing Japanese tradition!" Hanako exclaimed enthusiastically. "Plus what's important is skinship! We're all girls after all."

I may actually be going to hell for this. she mused watching Trudy go a shade of crimson all over her body.

[Throndir]

Still bright red in the face, the three of you eventually packed up some clothes, and made your way to the bathroom. Trudy, as embarrassed as she was, clung to the hem of your shirt, and followed obediently behind. There were plenty of other bathrooms in the estate, enough to handle the large number of potential inhabitants of the home. It was that Trudy spoke up.

"D-do you think t-that I can go in first...? And... m-meet you two in the tub once I'm in?" Trudy was blushing.

Minette turned towards her softly and nodded her head, then Trudy turned towards you expectantly.

[Asta]

"Uh, sure go ahead." Hanako replied, deciding not to question Trudy's request.

"We'll give you a few minutes, okay?"

[Throndir]

"T-thank you... I'll be quick!" Trudy said as she went ahead. Once she was inside, she gently closed the door.

After that, Minette turned towards you with a slight evil grin on her face.

"Hanako... I might trip... and... accidently... open the door..."

[Asta]

What a devious woman.

"If you happen to trip, I guess it cant be helped. The floor can be awfully slick around a bath." Hanako said shrugging.

I guess I'm not really that much better. she thought.

[Throndir]

"Oh no...!" Minette said, her voice obviously acting.

"The... floor...! It's so... slick!" Minette made a huge show of tripping as her hands gripped on to the door knob, twisted it and opened it in one motion. Unfortunately, it did leave her off-balanced, so she did actually fall flat on her face a second later.

Which in turn, allowed you to have the first sight.

"H-huh?"

[close]

[Asta]

"Oh." was all that Hanako could say as she felt the blood rush to her face.

Your sacrifice will not be forgotten Minette, you brave soldier!

"Well then I'll just uhh... pick her up real fast..." she said, fumbling for the words as she bent down and picked up Minette by the waist like a floppy cat. The entire time she failed to look away from Trudy, frozen in a state of mid undress. Perhaps she had failed her will save.

[Throndir]

"H-Hanako?!" Trudy blushed furiously upon seeing you.

Minette, on the other hand, let herself be picked up by you. Her eyes wandering over to Trudy as well. Finally when the door was closed again, Minette whispered.

"See... Trudy is cute... when she is changing..."

There was a splash of water, and the both of you heard Minette call out.

"Y-you can come in!"

[Asta]

"Truly." Hanako replied, wondering if the blood running from Minette's nose was from bashing her face on the floor or something else.

"Y-you can come in!"

"Well, you heard her lets go!" she said, pushing the door open.

[Throndir]

Opening the door, you saw Trudy in the tub, she had a faint blush on her cheeks, and she seemed to have moved to the side of the tub to give space for the both of you.

"It might be a bit tight... but we can all fit..."

"Hanako can be... beside me, in the middle..."

[close]

[Asta]

"Sounds good to me." Hanako agreed with a smile and began to undress. Once her clothes were folded and set aside she climbed into the tub next to Trudy, slipping into the warm water with a satisfied sigh.

"That's what I'm talking about." she said languidly. It was indeed a tight fight, so to make enough space for everyone to be comfortable she rested her arms on the rim of the tub, behind the backs of her fellow bathers. Even taking that measure, below the water line her hip still rubbed up against the other two in a pleasant way. It was snug, but not uncomfortable.

So blessed.

[Throndir]

The next half an hour was spent bathing with the two of them. Trudy continued to be embarrassed, completely conscious of the fact that you were there with them. Minette was the one who was more at ease, though even she had a faint blush on her cheeks. The idea was brought up to wash each other's backs, so the three of you proceeded with that.

Feel free to describe or wrap up the scene if you want! Afterwards let me know what are your other plans for Day 9. There is a meeting with the Flensberg official.

[Asta]

"Skinshippu~ skinshippu~!" Hanako said in a sing-song voice as she helped lather up her companions. As she did so, she managed to hit every trope in the book ranging from "Ara~ ara~! You've got such a full figure" to "Your skin is so smooth~!". Truly it was a despicable display of shameless lewd behavior masquerading as bathing. It barely qualified as R15+.

While Trudy was an easy target for both Minette and Hanako, it didn't mean that the silver haired secretary escaped from equally embarrassing pampering at Hanako's hands. When all was said and done though, the three took some time so simply relax and enjoy the warmth of the water and each other's close company. Through some convincing, and slippery rearrangement in the tub, the trio had managed to position themselves in such a way that Trudy and Minette were pressed close to Hanako on either side, one leg each straddled over the hero. She held them close, an arm around each, warm skin on warm skin.

What a shame there's so much to do today... Hanako thought, eyes closed enjoying the serenity of the moment.

Eventually all good things must come to an end, and so too did this. Clean and mentally clear, Hanako got ready for the rest of her busy and stressful day.

Plans for the day are get in another standard training session on firearms, then have a pre-meeting meeting with Aldric to go over the gameplan for the Flensberg meeting. It would be good to have Minette at both meetings, Wendy too if she has any valuable insight on what's being discussed.

[Throndir]

Both Trudy and Minette were visibly glowing after the morning's bath, and soon enough the three of you prepared for the day's work.

State how many hours of training you want, and roll your Training checks.
