Bath Time Blunders and Sisterly Banter

“Ah~ Oh~”

As my toes slowly sank into the hot water, I let out a sigh of contentment, my face beaming with joy.

Indeed, there is nothing more blissful in life than eating and taking a bath.

Currently, I was sporting an Indian-inspired look, my shoulders bare as I leaned against the edge of the bathtub, relishing the sheer ecstasy.

The water in the tub was a milky white, as if mixed with milk. There was even a hint of floral fragrance. It felt utterly luxurious. If someone handed me a cup of this, unaware it was bathwater, I might just drink it, thinking it was a beverage.

Lost in a slightly amusing fantasy, I was abruptly brought back to reality by Leidi’s voice.

“Xiao Bai.”

Leidi was in the tub with me, sporting the same Indian-inspired look, positioned to my right, soaking in the water.

“What is it?” I asked, glancing back.

“Your chest… it’s floating…” Leidi blushed, averting his gaze and pointing at the twin peaks barely visible in the milky bathwater.

“…”

“…”

Accompanied by the rising steam, we both remained motionless, trapped in a silent standoff.

“Why did you have to say it out loud…” I had deliberately ignored it!

“Ha—ha-ha—” Leidi laughed nervously.

I felt my face heating up, hot enough to fry an egg, and probably a bit burnt too!!!

Ah—why did he have to say it out loud!

[Some Time Earlier]

In the dressing room before the bath, I sat obediently in front of the vanity mirror, with Leidi standing behind me, working on my hair. She was helping me wrap it up.

I lifted my head slightly to look back:

“Leidi, why didn’t you let me cut my hair short?”

I still had long hair.

“It was your grandma’s request,” Leidi said without pausing her work. “And I think you look better with long hair.”

“Didn’t you even ask me, the person in question, what I wanted?” I pouted slightly, complaining.

“But in the end, you still accepted it, didn’t you?” Leidi smiled in the mirror.

“W-well… because it looks so pretty…” Reluctant to ruin such a beautiful hairstyle, I gradually accepted it. My face was burning red.

“OK! All done.” Leidi placed her hands on my shoulders, smiling.

“Thanks.” I stood up and turned to thank her.

Looking in the mirror, my head was wrapped in a large turban, making me look like an Indian, just much paler.

“Now it’s my turn.” Leidi picked up a long, rectangular bamboo basket filled with towels and sat in front of the vanity mirror, wrapping her own hair.

“Huh? Are you coming in too?” I was a bit surprised.

“The tub is big enough.” Leidi said, not turning around.

“It’s not that, it just feels a bit awkward.” I was currently in a girl’s body, and Leidi was in a boy’s. Although Leidi would never do anything to me, bathing together still felt strange.

“How can it be~”

After wrapping her hair, Leidi turned to me with a mischievous grin: “Sisters bathing together—what’s wrong with that?”

“Sisters…” I pointed at myself, my words faster than my thoughts: “I’m the little sister, but what makes you the big sister? You still have a—”

Ah!

I spoke out of turn, I’m sorry! You’re so determined to be a woman, and yet I—my mouth is so mean, I wish I could slap myself right now.

“I’ll get the surgery eventually, and then it’ll be gone. Besides, my legal gender is female, and mentally, I’m almost there too, so you really don’t need to worry.”

Did she sense my self-reproach? Leidi didn’t seem to mind at all, responding with a smile. Thank you, Leidi.

“It’s not that I’m worried about you doing anything, it’s just… a bit embarrassing. And you’re probably planning to feel me up, right?” I tried to shift the tone, attempting a joke to ease the tension.

“Sisters can rub each other’s breasts, right?” Leidi smiled wickedly.

“What about being mentally female…”

I shouldn’t have made that joke…

Leidi lightly placed her hands on my shoulders, smiling at me:

“Just kidding. I just wanted to chat with you.”

“You should have said so earlier.”

Leidi gave me an out, and I took it.

We turned our backs to each other, undressed, and walked towards the bath.

[Back in the Bath]

I lowered my head to see Leidi blushing, her hands cupping her slightly swollen chest:

“I wish I had breasts like yours.”

Watching Leidi, I was taken aback. The heat in my face slowly subsided.

“You really want to be a woman that badly.” My feelings were a bit complex.

“After all, I can’t go back to being a man. I’ve been a pseudo-girl for a year now…” Leidi lifted her head, closing her eyes as she leaned against the pool wall: “At first, I had some resistance, but now… I almost wish I could take a knife and do it myself.”

“Calm down! Don’t even think about it!”

I quickly moved closer to Leidi, my hands roughly gripping her shoulders as I shook her.

No! I won’t let you do this!

“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything stupid.” Leidi blushed and averted her gaze: “Oh, and your breasts are bouncing quite a bit, like little bunnies.”

“Eek!”

I quickly pulled my hands back, hugging my chest. My earlier movements caused my breasts to bobble on the water’s surface.

But since Leidi was still joking, it seemed like I didn’t need to worry.

Thinking this, I slowly returned to my original position, continuing to soak.

“Xiao Bai, we’re going to school tomorrow. But we’ll be walking.”

Leidi changed the subject, which was fine by me.

“What’s up? Did the driver call in sick?” I joked halfheartedly.

“I’m currently living a double life. While posing as the daughter of the Colte family, I’m also pretending to be an ordinary student at a public school in a neighboring city. So far, no one at school knows I’m actually the heir.” Leidi seemed to smile as she spoke the second half.

I listened quietly, though I wanted to quip, “Aren’t you actually the heir?” But this time, I kept my mouth shut!

“But won’t that be a problem? Walking there?” I asked, a bit worried.

My concern wasn’t unwarranted. Leidi’s true identity often drew assassins and kidnappers, so she had many bodyguards. Because of this, she had never told me her true identity, probably fearing I’d get involved.

“Don’t worry, I’ve been preparing for a year. We won’t be noticed, and I have many bodyguards already disguised as locals, providing minimal protection. Overall, it’s quite safe.” Leidi kept her head down, eyes closed, describing a reality I found hard to imagine, her voice commanding and authoritative.

“After being friends for so long and nothing’s happened to me, you’d better give your subordinates a raise.” I tried to lighten the mood.

“I have two main reasons for going to school. First, to blend in as a woman and practice my femininity. Second—” Leidi turned her head towards me: “There’s another Gatekeeper there. Before the succession ceremony, she’s been teaching me relevant knowledge as my mentor.”

“What?!” I couldn’t hide my surprise, turning to face Leidi directly.

I never expected one of the world’s five Gatekeepers to be in Japan—what a surprise.

“Is he a student?”

“She’s a second-year high school student, a year ahead of us. In both senses, she’s our senior.”

“How skilled is he?” Curiosity piqued, I asked.

“She said she’s been a Gatekeeper for five years now, but she didn’t tell me anything else.”

“Is that so…” I had hoped to learn more.

“Enough about that, Xiao Bai, let’s play.” Leidi smiled, looking at me.

“Hmm? Play what?” There weren’t any facilities in the bath. I glanced around.

“Gurgle~ gurble~”

???

Hearing the sound, I turned back and saw Leidi with half her face submerged, blowing bubbles?

Um… blowing bubbles is fun? And this is bathwater, Leidi!

Leidi reached out from the milky bathwater, beckoning me with her index finger, suggesting I come closer.

I went closer, even lowering my face a bit to accommodate Leidi’s lower position. What did she want to say?

“Pfft—!!!”

She wasn’t trying to say anything… I was sprayed in the face with bathwater!

I could feel my cheeks twitching… give me back my trust!!!

“You’re in for it…”

I glared at her and did the same, submerging half my face and taking a big gulp.

“Ugh—”

It didn’t taste as good as it smelled; the taste was awful…

“Pfft—!!!”

I sprayed it back at Leidi.

!!!

She dodged! That guy dodged, and even dove underwater!

I stood up from the water, ignoring the violent bouncing of my chest, and shouted at the opaque milky bathwater: “Get out here!!! Let me spray you back!!!”

I paced around the bath, trying to find Leidi, but it was too large, and my feet didn’t touch anything.

“Huh?!?”

I spotted something and quickly approached.

It was a towel; since mine was still on my head, it must be Leidi’s!

I reached out to grab it,

!!!

Missed! There was only the towel! Leidi wasn’t there! It was a trap!!

“PLOP—!!!”

A sound came from behind, something surfacing from the water, and I turned just in time to see…

“Eek! Aah aah aah aah aah!!!!!” Although I knew what it was, I still screamed like a girl.

I glanced back, seeing mist, water droplets, and Leidi’s grinning face with her hair fluttering.

Leidi reached from behind, her arms wrapping around my armpits, precisely grabbing my breasts!

“Hehehe, I won’t hold back~” Leidi’s hands moved unruly.

What was that electric feeling?! I didn’t want to know!!!

“Eek! Aah aah aah aah aah!!!!!”

With a prolonged scream, my palms involuntarily slapped Leidi’s face.

“SPLASH!!!!!”

A huge splash erupted from the bath!

“Click—”

With that sound, Leidi opened the room door.

“This is my room. Your clothes and everything are already prepared.” Leidi, in a bathrobe, turned to tell me, smiling.

Leidi’s left cheek bore the imprint of the slap I gave her earlier. Though I made her temporarily disfigured, I won’t apologize! I repeated this in my mind.

“There are so many rooms, why do we have to share?” I crossed my arms, giving her a disdainful look.

“What’s the harm? We’re sisters after all.” Leidi smiled even more brightly…

“Don’t you think I might find you disgusting?”

Ah, that was a bit harsh… but I won’t apologize!

“Huh? Do you?” Leidi looked at me with interest.

“N-no…” I averted my gaze, a bit embarrassed.

“By the way, did you prepare the underwear too?” I asked about something more important, a hurdle I’d have to face soon.

“Yes, I picked them out. They’re very cute.” Leidi beamed with joy.

“I don’t want to know, um?! I suddenly froze, turning to Leidi: “You picked them out?!!!” I exclaimed.

“Yeah~” Leidi smiled happily.

“How do you know my measurements? I didn’t even know!”

Of course, I hadn’t measured myself. During my two-month coma from the monster attack, Leidi must have.

“While you were in bed for two months, I measured you.” Leidi cupped her face, feigning a dreamy expression: “Oh, those were quite impressive numbers.”

“You… you definitely did something to me, right…” Remembering the incident in the bath, I forced a smile, approaching Leidi.

“Yes! Since the upper measurement was 99, I mercifully helped you reach 100! For two months, I dedicated time each day to help you break through that limit. How’s that? Quite an impressive three-digit number, isn’t it!!!” Leidi beamed with pride and excitement.

I… I can’t hold back anymore…

“LEIDI!!!!!”

My roar echoed through the night.

It seemed the servants in this house wouldn’t be sleeping tonight.
