"She—she—she—!"
Aoi pointed at Yuriko with wide, stunned eyes.
"Relax. She's one of us," Shuya said, casually pushing Aoi's hand down. "You can call her Yuriko. She's a contractor, just like you."
Aoi swallowed hard. Her gaze kept darting toward Yuriko before quickly looking away, like she wanted to stare but knew she shouldn't.
It wasn't that Aoi was shy around people. As the head caretaker of the Butterfly Mansion, she dealt with injured Demon Slayers every single day. But right now Yuriko was completely naked, not a single piece of clothing covering her.
"How's the view?" Yuriko asked, completely unbothered. She even pushed her chest out a little, proudly showing off her curves.
Aoi's mouth moved before her brain could stop it.
"…Really big."
The second the words left her mouth, she snapped her head down in embarrassment.
Shuya flicked her forehead lightly.
"Oi. You're not exactly in a position to talk right now either."
A cold breeze brushed past, and Aoi suddenly felt the uncomfortable cling of her soaked pants against her skin. She shivered.
Shuya turned to Yuriko with a sigh.
"And you. Could you at least pretend to have some shame?"
Yuriko just shrugged, completely shameless.
"There's no one else here. Besides…" She slid her hand slowly up her own thigh and gave Shuya a sultry look. "You're the one who took my clothes off last night, remember?"
Shuya coughed and quickly changed the subject.
"Anyway… why are you up so early?"
"Because the early bird gets the worm," Yuriko replied with a sweet smile.
Before he could react, she stepped in, kissed him on the lips right in front of Aoi, then turned back to the flustered girl.
"See? Proof that the saying is true."
She walked over to Aoi, completely ignoring how stiff the younger girl had gone, and casually draped an arm over her shoulder.
"So, little sister. What's your name? Big sis will take good care of you from now on."
Aoi managed to stammer out her name.
Yuriko leaned in close, whispering something into Aoi's ear that made the girl's face turn bright red.
"Th-that kind of thing is… is way too shameless!"
"You'll get used to it," Yuriko said with a knowing smile, then grabbed Aoi's hand. "Come on. Let's get you cleaned up first."
Aoi didn't resist. She was still processing everything, but getting clean was currently her top priority.
Shuya followed them into the bath.
It wasn't a normal bathroom. It was a massive open-air onsen with a decorative rock formation in the middle. Since only Shuya and his contractors could enter Greed Island, there was no separation between men and women. Mixed bathing was the default.
Aoi was still dazed when Yuriko started stripping her. By the time she realized what was happening, she was already being pulled into the warm water.
The heat felt incredible against her skin. For a brief moment, she almost let out a relaxed sigh.
Then she saw Shuya enter from the other side.
Also completely naked.
"Sh-Shuya?! Why are you here?!"
Yuriko answered for him with a playful tone.
"I didn't tell you? This place doesn't have separate baths~"
Aoi's face turned crimson. She quickly sank down until only her eyes were above the water, staring at Shuya in pure panic.
First she had pissed on him. Then she signed that terrifyingly intimate contract. And now he was seeing everything.
She was never escaping this man.
Yuriko didn't seem to care about Aoi's meltdown. After making sure the girl was in the water, she gave her a casual wave and slipped beneath the surface like a mermaid, swimming straight toward Shuya.
Shuya raised an eyebrow when Yuriko surfaced in front of him.
"Couldn't wait?"
Yuriko smiled, voice dripping with double meaning.
"The early bird has to go get her worm, after all."
She kissed him again, then disappeared back under the water.
Aoi watched the way Yuriko's body moved beneath the surface and slowly put the pieces together.
Her face burned even hotter.
She hugged her knees to her chest under the water, mortified.
Her body was already dirty… and now even her mind was becoming dirty too.
Kanae-nee… save me…
