"...Is something wrong, Syl'Vyr?" I ask, noticing how much more reserved she's being. She looks at me, then at Eve, and they've been in this tense mood ever since we left Kjori's shop.
"Eve and I just had a little disagreement, Evelyn-chan, but it's nothing. So, how was it? Was your training with that man pleasant? You look... stressed." She says, hitting the nail on the head. I am tired and stressed.
"Yes! It was stressful! But it was fun! I'm not mad at Kjori, I just think his training is harsh. After all, we spent 10 straight hours with him evaluating what I did and what I needed to improve." I say, placing my mask on the bed in the inn room where Eve and I stayed before.
We've already paid for the room, and since we're adventurers, the room stayed empty all this time until we returned.
'There's no space here for Syl'Vyr... maybe we need a new, bigger room.' I see Eve also placing her mask on the bed as I sit down, watching the tension in the air.
'I'm sweaty... I need a bath soon, but I can't relax seeing the two of them so tense.'
"Hey, take your clothes off!" I say without initially realizing the weight of my words. Eve blushes and looks away, while Syl'Vyr gives a mischievous little smile and puffs out her chest.
"N-No!! Syl'Vyr, not here, you dummy! I meant... okay, maybe I phrased it poorly. I just meant we should all take a bath together!" I really want a bath and I don't want to stress about the tension in the air.
So I thought a bath together would solve both problems. Eve looks at me with understanding and nods her head.
"Alright, Evelyn-chan." Syl'Vyr also agrees as I stand up and start picking out clothes for us to wear after the bath. I end up choosing the most discreet set I have.
Soon the three of us head to the bathroom. It's a bit painful to pay for lodging and the bathroom and not even be able to enjoy it properly since I wasn't even in the room for more than a month, but it's fine.
Now that I have the storage ring, I can store everything we own and carry it with us. Since it's not much stuff, we don't need a room just for that.
Since I take longer with things, Eve and Syl'Vyr end up entering the bathroom before me. So it's only after about 5 minutes that I go to the bathroom, carrying a tray with the clothes to get them ready.
'...Damn, I'm nervous...' I enter the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body. I see the steam in the air and quickly notice Eve and Syl'Vyr staring each other down inside the bathtub, which is big enough for the two of them but seems small for three.
'I-I guess it wasn't a good idea for the three of us to bathe together... well... we're all girls...' I walk over to the bathtub, which is sunken into the floor, my steps drawing the attention of the two.
"Syl'Vyr, could you make a little room, please?" I ask as Syl'Vyr looks around at the size of the tub.
"Evelyn-chan, did you really think this through when you suggested this bath?"
"..."
"Evelyn-chan, there's no space. It only fits the two of us, and even then it's barely enough room to not touch each other." She says as I sigh. She quickly pats the floor with her hand, calling me over.
'The two of them seem tense... I can't leave until they make up...' I get into the bathtub and sit on Syl'Vyr's lap, feeling the hot water quickly wetting my body.
"Hmmmm." I let out a satisfied moan at the hot water while the softness of Syl'Vyr's body is wonderful.
'Fuck, these giant tits are better than any pillow!!' Syl'Vyr moves back slightly to give me space while Eve looks at Syl'Vyr with a bit of envy.
"Eve, Syl'Vyr, why did you two fight?" I ask with my eyes closed, enjoying the water and also keeping them shut so I don't see Eve naked.
"...I hit Syl'Vyr because she's irresponsible." Eve admits, surprising me.
"...Why?"
"...I think Syl'Vyr is very irresponsible. I just taught her a lesson. She even tried to use magic in the shop, which was dangerous, and you wouldn't have had the money to pay for the damages." Eve makes a fair point.
"...And you, Syl'Vyr, what do you think about that?" I ask, wanting to hear Syl'Vyr's side.
"Unfair! I hadn't done anything yet, and... I only started a fight because... because my position isn't fair. I'm new to this, I'm insecure about my place in this group when Eve is so... superior." Syl'Vyr ends up admitting honestly.
"...Syl'Vyr, you don't need that! You're important to the group! Don't feel out of place or insecure, you're an important member! But be more responsible! Don't use magic in places where it will cause a problem!" I say, still with my eyes closed, enjoying the heat of the water.
"..."
"Syl'Vyr, do you hate Eve?" I ask while Syl'Vyr squirms uncomfortably.
"No... I'm angry, but I don't hate her... I admit I was kind of a bitch and provoked her first before the fight..." She ends up admitting as I open my eyes and notice a tray.
"Oh, what's this?" I ask, briefly changing the subject.
"It's a tray with things. There's milk, some kinds of alcoholic drinks, and cheese. The attendant gave it to us when we entered, saying it was part of what we paid for." Eve says, pushing the tray to my side. I quickly grab a piece of cheese and taste it.
"Hmmm, the privileges of a paid bathroom are wonderful." I murmur, picking up the little cups and drinking whatever's in them. The milk and cheese are good, but the other things are more interesting.
"Is this alcohol? I've never had it before. I wonder if it's good?" I say excitedly while Eve and Syl'Vyr smile at me.
"Bleh, what a bitter taste... just one more sip... yuck, it's so strong... just... one more... oh, this one is sweet, it reminds me of fruit." I keep drinking the drinks in the little cups to try to find a good one, spending the next 3 minutes tasting each cup on the tray.
"Evelyn-sama, that seems pretty strong. Are you sure you should drink so many little cups at once like this?" Eve says to me as I push the tray away.
"I-I'm fine! I'm a puppet... I shouldn't get drunk, right? Now you two make up! Or I'll get furious!" I say, feeling the world spin slightly as I blush.
"Evelyn-chan, are you drunk?" Syl'Vyr says, placing her breasts above my head as she hugs my waist.
"N-No! It was just a few little cups! I'm fine!" I say, insisting I'm not drunk.
"...Evelyn-sama, are you weak with alcohol? You shouldn't have drunk so many little cups." Eve says, pulling the tray away.
"H-hic... I-I'm not drunk! I-I just... feel a little dizzy! It's the hot water!" I say as Syl'Vyr giggles.
"Don't laugh! Idiot! And you, Eve, are an idiot! You're both idiots! Why do you fight behind my back! I should push you into the water... wait... aren't we already in the water?" I ask, confused.
"Hahahahahahaha, Evelyn-chan is so funny when she's drunk. Hey, Evelyn-chan, who do you like more, me or Eve?" Syl'Vyr asks me while Eve glares at her.
"Don't ask stupid questions, especially with Evelyn-sama drunk, that's..." Eve tries to complain to her.
"Stop being so boring. Are you going to say you're not curious? Hey, Evelyn-chan, I'll forgive Eve for hitting me, but you have to be honest with my questions." Syl'Vyr proposes as I think.
"If I'm a little duck, are you going to eat me because you're a little wolf?" I ask out of nowhere, thinking about ducks. Ducks are funny. I think I like cats too, they're cute.
"..." Syl'Vyr looks at me with a funny expression.
"I mean, I'm honest! I'm not drunk! Just... confused. The hot water is to blame!" I say quickly, proclaiming my innocence. There's no way I'm drunk from just a few little cups.
"Evelyn-chan, who do you like more? Me or Eve?" Syl'Vyr asks again.
"Hmmm, I like... me more! I'm fucking beautiful! Obviously I'm the best! The prettiest, the most desirable! Like a 100000000/10 beauty!" I say confidently.
"I like Eve too! Eve is pretty! Not as much as me, of course, I'm the best! But Eve is pretty! I like Syl'Vyr too! Did you know Syl'Vyr has big boobs! I like big boobs! They have charm!"
"Ah, but I don't want big boobs! It seems bad for your back! And it attracts perverted stares! I don't like perverted stares!" I say to... Syl'Vyr, getting briefly confused for talking about Syl'Vyr to Syl'Vyr.
"I see. So Evelyn-chan doesn't want big boobs?" Syl'Vyr asks provocatively.
"No!... but hey, did you know Esther is like, really pretty too! And she has big boobs! Esther is kind of my sister! But she's also not my sister! So I can think she's pretty! Don't tell Esther, but I've seen her naked! Did you know she's really pretty without clothes! Hahahaha it's funny! Because she's pretty with clothes on too!" I say, all cheerful.
"Hahaha, see Eve, Evelyn-chan is funny when she drinks. We should give her alcohol more often." Syl'Vyr says to Eve, who sighs.
"Well, Evelyn-sama does seem less stressed about studying magical relics, so maybe once in a while... Syl'Vyr, I'm sorry for hitting you. I think I went too far too." Eve apologizes to Syl'Vyr.
"..."
"It's fine. I'll forgive you because if it weren't for that, I doubt we'd get to see a drunk Evelyn-chan." Syl'Vyr says as I point at Eve.
"See, Eve! I'm great at resolving fights! You two aren't fighting anymore! If you fight, I'll hit you with a newspaper! I like little dogs, but they aren't disciplined and... why did you fight again?"
"Wait, what are we talking about?" I ask, totally confused, losing my train of thought with every passing second.
"..."
"Evelyn-chan, look, it's hot water! We're taking a bath." Syl'Vyr changes the subject to give me a logical thread again.
"Oh... I see then... hey, don't treat me like a child, Syl'Vyr!! Just because you have those big boobs doesn't mean you're the most mature!" I say, exasperated, as I sink slightly into the water.
"...Hahahaha." Syl'Vyr laughs, and even Eve cracks a smile.
