A comfortable silence had settled over the three, broken only by the gentle lapping of water. It was then that Chigusa emerged from the wooded path, her expression brightening as she saw them. "Oh, you guys are already here... I'll join you in a second," she said before heading to the rinsing area.
After a short while, she returned, a towel wrapped securely around her waist in an identical fashion to Mikoto. Her bare chest was fully on display, her modest, slender build a contrast to Mikoto's more voluptuous D-cups, yet she carried herself with the same unselfconscious grace as she slipped into the water beside them. "Ahh... This is sooo good! I wish Ouka could have joined us..." she sighed, sinking into the warmth.
"Is he all right?" Damien asked.
Chigusa nodded, a shy smile touching her lips. "Yes... he should be... Asuka is taking care of him. Ouka is strong... He'll recover quickly. He tried his best to protect us all."
'I'm thinking this girl is a big fan of that Ouka guy,' Damien mused internally.
Shifting the subject, he posed the question that had been on his mind. "How did you guys end up fighting that thing, anyway? Not to disrespect your party, but I'm pretty sure a group of four Level 2s isn't supposed to challenge the Goliath."
Mikoto let out a weary sigh. "We don't know either. We had information from the Guild that the Goliath was defeated a week ago, so we assumed we had a clear path to the Under Resort. We never expected it to be there. When it emerged... we tried to escape, but its attacks were too relentless. Fighting it seemed like our only chance to press forward. If it wasn't for you..." She left the grim alternative unspoken.
"Wrong information? Isn't the Guild the one that monitors these things? I didn't think they'd make such a critical mistake," Damien stated, his tone laced with disbelief.
"We were just as shocked," Mikoto confirmed. "We weren't even the full party; several other adventurers from our Familia are coming later. We were merely scouting ahead. Had we known, we would have come with our full force or even collaborated with another Familia."
"I see. Then when I return, I shall make a formal report to the Guild about this," Damien decided.
"People will be shocked that you defeated the Goliath on your own..." Chigusa added, her voice filled with awe.
"Is that so? I suppose it isn't common for a Level 3 to defeat the Goliath himself?" Damien asked.
Mikoto shook her head. "No, it is not. Perhaps a high-tier Level Four, but I've never heard of a Level Three accomplishing it solo. Usually, it requires a small party of Level 3s or a large party of Level 2s."
"Well... I'll try to downplay my role and emphasize your contributions as well. You don't mind, right?" Damien proposed. "I don't care for the attention. I already have enough from the tournament and the instant level-up."
"Not at all. In fact, we should be grateful. Crediting us will bring great prestige to our Familia," Mikoto agreed. "Anyways, when do you plan on leaving the Resort?"
"Tomorrow," Damien answered simply.
"Tomorrow?!" The exclamation came in unison from both women.
"Yeah?.... Is that a problem?"
"Well... it's just uncommon for people to return after a single day," Mikoto explained. "Most stay for at least three—to rest, recover, or prepare for the descent to the 19th floor and beyond."
"I see... Well... Maybe I will stay for a few days more," Damien mused, the warmth of the spring seeming to seep into his words. "I'm kinda liking the vibe here..."
A genuine smile touched Mikoto's lips. "Good. Well, as I said before, you are a guest of Our Familia, so you're welcome to stay as long as you want with us."
"Then I shall end our bath here and go ahead to get some rest," Damien said. With a soft sigh of contentment, he rose from the water, the liquid streaming off his frame in rivulets.
Mikoto stood with him. "Yes... We should stop for now." As she stepped onto the slick stone edge of the pool, her foot found a particularly slippery rock. With a gasp, she lost her balance, lurching forward. Her hands shot out, instinctively grabbing onto Damien for support, and she fell to her knees before him.
In the chaotic moment, her fingers tangled in the towel secured around his waist, pulling it completely loose. As she looked up to apologize, her face brushed against something firm and unexpectedly warm. She froze, her eyes widening slightly as her brain processed the intimate contact. She moved back just enough to confirm what her cheek had already told her: her accidental descent had left her face-to-face with Damien's fully erect member.
A strangled squeak came from the entrance of the clearing. Chigusa, who had just arrived, stood frozen, her face blooming a brilliant scarlet before she slapped her hands over her eyes. "Eep!"
Damien was rooted to the spot, a wave of shock and acute embarrassment rendering him speechless. He could only watch as Mikoto's initial surprise melted away, replaced by a slow, knowing smirk. Her gaze, holding a mixture of amusement and bold appraisal, traveled the short distance back up to meet his stunned expression.
"I guess..." she purred, her voice a low, teasing hum, "This is payback for seeing my breasts?"
She rose to her feet with a grace that defied the clumsiness of her fall, a soft laugh escaping her lips. "I didn't know men could be so... impressively equipped."
From behind her hands, Chigusa's muffled voice was a frantic whisper. "NO THEY DON'T! That's not how it's supposed to BE!"
Mikoto's laughter deepened. "Huh... I see..."
Finally finding his voice, Damien swiftly retrieved his towel and secured it again, clearing his throat. "..I....I uh...I was gonna say sorry...But it was your fault."
"Don't mind it," Mikoto waved a dismissive hand, her composure fully restored. She turned, making no particular effort to cover her own nakedness as she moved toward her clothes. "I shall go wear my clothes now... Since you're still staring at my breasts." She then glanced at the still-mortified Chigusa. "You too, before Chigusa dies of embarrassment."
A wry, relieved chuckle finally broke from Damien. Shaking his head at the sheer unpredictability of the evening, the three of them—the composed tease, the flustered innocent, and the bemused guest—gathered their things and headed back toward the comforting normality of the camp.
