Azhure Raven: Again, I based their personalities post-Babylonia Singularity.
Chapter 32: The Shame
Each of the twins looked each other in mixed emotions. The Goddesses and the Twin Spirits each looked in a contended staring lockdown. Shidou, meanwhile melted down from the unknown pressure. He was clueless that the Twins already switched the signs for the gender outside of the bathouse and now he was suffering from a state of panic and he slowly and carefully sunk down.
He managed to submerged majority of his body and nothing more than a bubble popping out into th atmosphere but the twins keep on clutching his arms instinctively. It was very hot but he can endure it. Shame is the greatest pain of all.
This is fine.
This is fine.
The twins completely forgot about Shidou when they set their eyes on the another set of a twin. A powerful one, whom the one has black hair while other is blonde. The other set of twins who managed to defeat them with ease.
No matter how the time has past, the future must go on. Finally, the Goddesses breathed sharpingly.
"I think we need to go, Ereshkigal." Ishtar whispered to her sister warily and carefully.
"But why?" Ereshkigal asked her in confusion.
"They are a pain in an ass to deal with." Ishtar said was true, they can easily overwhelm the twin Spirit but they are very, very annoying. Their Master said that they can't kill them without any reason so they have no choice.
Ereshkigal hastily agreed and when carefully retreated. Slowly, in order not to shock the twins in the water. The Spirit Twins, however, decided to let go of Shidou, who was already drowning himself, and then approach the Goddesses with unclear motivation.
"…Master."
"…My lord."
They called them and both Goddesses felt their hair on their nape stood out. They genuinely accepted worshippers not them, especially not them. They immediately picked up their pace and walked backwards faster than they could have imagined. Taking advantage of another fog incoming. They made themselves hidden within, as if they just earned Presence Concealment for the sake hiding themselves.
Of course, the Twin Goddess picked their pace too. After defeating them as if nothing, they deserve their glory. Why would they try to ran away from them? The Twin issue isn't involved here so there's that.
The Goddesses fully integrated into the mist but the Twins tried to catch up.
oof*
ugh*
Their bodies became a tangled, wonderful mess of human body and towels. The twins thought they have already caught them, naked be damn, but turns out, its just Tohka.
Tohka just blinked in confusion as she was totally on the ground, staring towards both to the twins, who look disappointed to their themselves, also, the trio were totally naked and the scene could be misinterpreted as something hot and surreal, luckily, Shidou was too busy drowning himself to witness this. Such is the skills of the Goddesses.
Mashu was searching for her Senpai inside the building where the class of Shidou can be found. She hoped that she can find her in the nick of time. It's more like Mashu was concern that she didn't find her Senpai the long time. She has searched any room she could find and not a shadow of her Senpai can be found.
Where would her Senpai be? She knew couldn't have left the island on her own. The airport was still quiet. If she couldn't find her Senpai, then she would find Caster to find her Senpai. Either way, both are win-win situation.
"Mashu!" Finally, she can hear her Senpai calling her and was just behind her, maybe running to meet her. Mashu was happy she has found her at last. The Shielder turned around and saw her Senpai happy to see her as her Senpai opened her arms and wide.
"Senpai—" Even Mashu was glad she could see and touch her Senpai—
"…eh?"
Somehow, Mashu couldn't comprehend her Senpai, who was currently running toward her…
Wearing the most ambitious dress she could ever seen since the last time she saw Marie during summer. Her face was applied with make-up and she swore her Senpai was thoroughly different and gorgeous than she could ever imagine. Her Senpai was gingerly handling her long dress as she ran; she's very careful or she might trip along the way.
Mashu was still in a dream-like state as she paused and stood in order to admire the beauty of her Senpai. Does this mean Senpai was her princess and she was Senpai's knight? Is this one of her dream come true? Glitters could be seen fluttering away from her Senpai as all seemed to be in a state of slow motion.
Finally, her Senpai tackled her as she kept on hugging her abdomen and Mashu felt a combination of relief and bliss as her Senpai kept holding on. The time seemed to be slowing by the way…
thud*
Mashu's head hit the floor and she was pulled into the reality. The back of her head doesn't hurt. Honest.
Immediately, with a catlike reaction, Princess Ritsuka pulled her into one of the room, locked it immediately and pushed it back using her back. Mashu did the same, albeit, her face was still adorned with confusion as she remained her focus on her Senpai's entirety, especially her chest, that is rapidly beating from exhaustion.
Eventually, as if confirming her Senpai's dreaded situation. They could hear multiple footsteps running and scampering along the way while hollers and shouts comparable to an animal can be heard too. Is this why her Senpai couldn't meet up with her? How crazy are the denizens outside?
Fortunately, the noise and the vibrations slowly disappeared until they were both sure that they were gone. Ritsuka immediately released a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness I survived." Her senpai said with exhaustion apparent in her voice.
"W-what happened, Senpai? I kept looking for you."
"Shit happened." Ritsuka blurted out. "…I mean, yeah it did. I just don't want to mention it." She corrected herself.
"Please, Mashu, please?"
Mashu just blushed when her Senpai showed her puppy eyes for no reason. Whatever happened to her must have been worst than the Singularities and Lostbelts combined. She just wanted for her Senpai to be alright so she will never ever mention it.
"Ok, Senpai."
Ritsuka released another big sigh and then undressed herself after that. Even though they are both girls and well the vacant room was well, vacant, so the Master of Chaldea has no problem.
"Senpai?" Mashu was really blushing. No matter how she has seen her Senpai naked, the Shielder couldn't get used to it anytime.
"What? I'm already done playing with their games so I really need to relax… I've heard that there's a hotbath somewhere so I'm going there whether you like it or not."
"Yes, that's what I am here for." Mashu needed to pause for a moment, if what she's trying too say was right.
Ritsuka was already stretching on her own and by the gods, Mashu could hear some bones cracking loudly and the Shielder couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise and now, the Master of Chaldea was ready to go to the bath house.
"Lezz go, my cute little eggplant." Then Ritsuka just stomped herself out the of the room.
"W-wait, Senpai…" Mashu desperately tried to stop her Senpai but to no avail. "Senpai, you're still naked, SENPAI!!!"
The day now transitioned to a night and for some reasons and unfulfilled shenanigans, the hot pools for the women were now vacant. Caster felt this is the good time to bath herself and now currently occupied in it.
Such relaxing moments as Circe felt the heat lessened the tightness of her muscles. She even managed to let out a big sigh as she let herself submerged further into the hot pools.
Why didn't she think of it when she was still alive on that island? It could have have provided a temporary relief for herself and her own piglets.
For added protections, she made a bounded fields of sort that made other ordinary people to turn away from this area with a mere suggestion; a low tier-ranked spell but ridiculously effective. Of course, even though she is inherently selfish by her natyure, she left some loopholes for the sake of her Master as well as the other Servants.
One, two and three and voila!
Her Master appeared, entering the bath with rapidness. She was already naked by the way and upon entering the pool, made a great splash. Circe even needed to cover her face in order to prevent her face from being sprinkled by the droplets.
"Master!" She berated her own Master. Of course, she can't just hate her because of it.
"Oh, hi Caster. Nice to see you." Her Master said, while staying afloat against eh pool. Her naked body already reddened from the bath. It was great dissonance from her calm voice.
"M-Master?!" Caster could only yelp from shock.
"S-Senpai!?" Mashu finally followed, with a towel by her chest. She saw her Master being floating, arms and legs outstretched. The Shielder then submerged carefully and helped her Master regain her balance and footing.
"Ah, it seemed that we are now all here." Caster said as she glanced two figures floating from the star-lit sky. Their brilliance challenges the star and the moon as expected of the pair of Goddesses, even though they are totally naked.
"Thanks to them, we are on the run."
"The Twin Spirits really gets at us."
Both of the Goddesses said it with a feeling of a slight depression. They gradually descended into the pool itself perfectly.
"What's the gist, Lancer and Archer?" Caster asked them with smirk. Mashu looked at them with a relief that they were now complete here on the island. Not that everyone here in the world cannot earn her trust, its just that she placed her trust to her fellow Servants and her Master.
Her Master meanwhile just waved at them and just sat by her own. It seemed she can't shake her experience back from that building, although not to the extent that it could be called nightmare.
"Those twins, ugh!" Archer gritted her teeth. "They're so annoying…"
"It's true that we can still defeat them in terms of strength and skills but…" Ereshkigal was saddened a little. "They are just too annoying for us to deal with."
"Annoying?" Caster remarked. "That's… so unyou." She thought as a literal Goddess, they should have expected this kind of event. Maybe, not all of the Goddesses have the same taste regarding how they were worshipped.
"Yeah right…"
…And so on, they talked as a closed companion until the time passed. They also talked about their experiences in this island and how they've dealt it. So far, Ritsuka and her Servants enjoyed their experiences in this world.
