Lumina glanced at the nightgowns before finally settling her gaze on a particular one.
Lumina walked over and picked up the nightgown from the middle of the pile.
She turned to face Castorice and Hyacine, shaking the nightgown in her hand as she said, "Castorice, Hyie, I think this nightgown would look great on you."
Lumina's voice was so sincere and earnest that the other three people present all fixed their attention on the nightgown in her hand.
"Uh... um..."
After clearly seeing the nightgown Lumina was holding, Castorice, Hyacine, and even Herta all froze in place.
They couldn't seem to snap out of it for a long time, seemingly stunned by the nightgown Lumina was holding.
The nightgown in Lumina's hand was a white one as thin as a cicada's wing.
Being thin as a cicada's wing wasn't the main point, and the white color wasn't the main point either.
But combined, these three factors became a major point.
Calling this a nightgown was a stretch, when it was practically indistinguishable from a sheer garment, wasn't it?
Because it was so thin, and the white color was so pale, once this "nightgown" was worn on the body, the skin underneath would definitely be revealed...
This was absolutely...
Lumina was now holding the nightgown by its left and right sides, with the garment hanging directly in front of her.
From Castorice and the others' perspective, they could see straight through the nightgown to what Lumina was wearing underneath.
If this nightgown were worn on the body, what difference would it make compared to... wearing nothing at all?
Um... actually, there was still a difference.
It added a sense of haziness, a sense of seduction.
If a couple in love wore this nightgown, their blood would definitely surge, and then they would begin a series of indescribable actions, wouldn't they?
Actually, saying so much, to put it more simply:
Lingerie...
Castorice, Hyacine, and Herta completely couldn't imagine what it would feel like if this garment were worn on their own bodies...
But... although they couldn't imagine what it would feel like to wear this nightgown themselves.
They could imagine, imagine the feeling when Lumina wore this nightgown...
Even... even, even they dared to continue imagining deeper.
Imagining the scene where Lumina wore no other clothes, with only this single nightgown draped over her entire body...
"S... Sister Lumina, this... this... this..."
Castorice's face was flushed crimson, her voice trembling, unable to utter a single coherent sentence for a long time.
"Lu... Lumie, this garment, it's... not very appropriate, is it?"
Compared to Castorice, whose soul had already wandered off to some unknown place, Hyacine was doing much better. She suppressed the images in her mind, forced a strained smile, and spoke up.
Although Hyacine was doing much better than Castorice, in reality, she wasn't doing much better at all.
Her legs visibly trembled a few times, and her crimson face was no less flushed than Castorice's.
Moreover, if one were to look closely, look closely into the depths of her eyes...
One would find that a pink light was gradually condensing out of thin air, forming into the shape of a heart...
Hyacine's mental state at this moment was already at a Half-Step Ascension.
Regarding her current state, Hyacine felt extremely confused and bewildered.
Normally, seeing this nightgown would make Hyacine blush, but it would only be for a fleeting moment. How could it possibly be like... like she was about to ascend to paradise?
"..."
Compared to Castorice and Hyacine, Herta's state seemed extremely abnormal.
Abnormally normal.
She was acting very normally right now. Although she blushed upon seeing the nightgown in Lumina's hand, she quickly regained her composure.
She didn't experience any superfluous emotions.
In this abnormal atmosphere, this naturally seemed extremely abnormal.
Lumina glanced at Herta, a flash of expected light gleaming in her eyes.
Herta's state was, indeed, within Lumina's expectations.
And Castorice and Hyacine's states were also, naturally, within Lumina's expectations.
The main reason they had become like this was because of their own wild thoughts.
As for the secondary reason... it was, of course, because Lumina had made a tiny little modification to the air in the room.
With the help of this little modification, the air inhaled into their bodies would continuously stimulate and arouse certain... unspeakable, unrevealable thoughts deep within their hearts.
Of course, if they didn't have such thoughts, this air would be no different from ordinary air.
But it was perfect... no, Lumina meant to say, it was a pity.
A pity that they did indeed have such thoughts, and in the end, it turned out like this.
Without thinking further, Lumina still had important business to attend to.
Under the gazes of two blushing faces and one calm one, Lumina slowly put the white nightgown back.
Seeing this, the two blushing gazes noticeably faded.
Both Castorice and Hyacine breathed a sigh of relief.
But that originally calm gaze, seeing Lumina's current actions, immediately became somewhat speechless.
It was as if she had already foreseen Lumina's next move.
"Hmph." Herta crossed her arms and snorted coldly.
She already knew what Lumina wanted to do.
Did you think she would just give up after putting this white nightgown back?
How could that be possible?
With Castorice and Hyacine looking like two lambs waiting to be slaughtered, how could Lumina, this wolf with an extremely vicious personality, possibly let them off?
She put back the white nightgown, perhaps simply because...
White doesn't suit little lambs, does it?
Just as Herta was thinking this, Lumina's next move confirmed her suspicions.
She put back the white nightgown in her hand, then swept her eyes over the same area.
From there, she took out two nightgowns made of the exact same material and style as the previous white one.
One was green, and one was purple.
Aside from the color being different from the white nightgown, everything else was identical.
Worn on the body, they would still create that... hazy sense of temptation.
Lumina lightly weighed the two weightless nightgowns in her hand, and a mischievous smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
But she quickly concealed it and returned to her persona of an understanding, gentle, and generous Big Sister.
Turning around, she walked over to Castorice and Hyacine and handed them the nightgowns.
The purple nightgown went to Hyacine, and the green one went to Castorice.
"We're all girls, so it's no problem."
"These nightgowns suit you both perfectly, so please wear them."
Seeing the two take the nightgowns while still in a state of bewilderment, Lumina nodded inwardly with satisfaction, her voice gentle as she spoke.
There was absolutely nothing to fault in Lumina's tone, as if she truly just thought these nightgowns suited them, with no ulterior motives whatsoever.
But was that really the case?
That was absolutely impossible.
Handing them the nightgowns was one intention, and giving the purple one to Hyacine and the green one to Castorice was another.
The former's intention was obvious: she simply wanted to see them dressed like this and feast her eyes.
The latter's intention was actually quite clear as well.
Hyacine, who was associated with green, was wearing a purple nightgown, while Castorice, associated with purple, was wearing a green one.
When the two appeared before her like this, the visual feast created by the contrasting colors would be far greater than that brought by a single color...
At least, that's what Lumina thought.
After all, with Hyacine and Castorice's looks, they would still dazzle everyone even if they were wearing a trash can.
"B...Big Sister Lumina, this... this is... too thin..."
After a moment, Hyacine and Castorice finally came to their senses.
Feeling the nightgowns in their hands, which were as thin as paper and completely weightless, the two immediately rejected them.
"Oh, it's fine, don't worry."
"We're all girls, what could possibly go wrong?"
Lumina smiled, reaching out to pat their little heads, indicating that since they were all girls, wearing such nightgowns would be perfectly fine.
"N...No, Big Sister Lumina..."
"Alright, alright, stop talking and hurry up and take a bath."
As soon as Castorice started to speak, Lumina directly interrupted her.
She pushed them from behind, nudging them out of the dressing room.
"Who wants to shower first?"
In the hallway of the room, Lumina asked Castorice and Hyacine.
She was asking which one of them wanted to shower first.
Hearing this, Castorice and Hyacine's first instinct wasn't to throw away the nightgowns in their hands, but instead to shake their heads hurriedly, indicating that neither of them wanted to go first.
Seeing this, the corners of Lumina's mouth curved again.
Under Lumina's guidance and the tempo she set, the two had already completely become her playthings, hadn't they?
Although they still couldn't accept the nightgowns that felt like they weren't wearing anything on, it was obvious from their current behavior that with just a little "force"... no, a little "deception"... hmm, that didn't seem right either...
As long as they were slightly guided, no matter how shy they were inside, they would "willingly" wear them.
When the time came, Lumina would only need to admire them properly...
"N...No..."
Castorice's voice was as faint and small as a mosquito's, making it impossible to hear clearly even when standing right next to her.
"Huff... huff..." While Castorice kept her head down and murmured softly, Hyacine, though still flushed, was trying to steady her breathing and force herself to calm down.
After a while, although she hadn't fully regained her composure, she had recovered a good deal of her "sense of self."
In this state, Hyacine was finally able to think a bit more clearly.
Clutching the thin nightgown in her hand like a tissue, Hyacine spoke with a determined expression, "Lumie, I..."
"Alright, alright, it doesn't matter who showers first."
But before Hyacine could even finish her sentence, Lumina "unintentionally" cut her off.
"There's more than one bathroom in this room." Lumina acted as if she hadn't heard Hyacine's words at all, giving them no time to speak. She took their small hands again and led them toward the other bathroom in the room.
"Ah..." Herta, who had just emerged from the dressing room, couldn't help but sigh as she saw the three of them walking hand-in-hand toward the other bathroom.
If nothing unexpected happened, those two little ones were going to have an "accident."
After tonight... well, Okhema had no concept of night.
So how should I put it?
Um... after today, once they step out of this big gate tomorrow, those two little ones will probably be forever immersed in it.
Forever immersed in Lumina's gentle embrace.
To put it simply, they would fall in love with Lumina, the kind of love that makes it impossible to extricate oneself.
And then they would discover.
That Lumina, that guy, actually had absolutely no interest in that kind of thing.
All the so-called love would just flow into a pool of stagnant water.
No matter how much love flowed in, the stagnant water would always be stagnant water.
No matter how much love flowed in, as long as the scene around her couldn't be expanded, as long as a connection couldn't be established, then this pool of stagnant water would never change...
-
"Alright, Hyie, you can wash here."
"Castorice, you can go wash in the other bathroom."
"Go on, don't waste any time."
After bringing the two to the other bathroom and giving them a brief introduction, Lumina made the choice for them.
"After you're done bathing, you can just wash your clothes there."
"The laundry device seems to be the same in every room, you both know how to use it, right?"
Without giving the two any chance to catch their breath, Lumina pointed to the laundry device nearby and asked.
"Um... yes."
Castorice and Hyacine said this in unison.
"Okay." Hearing this, Lumina nodded and said no more.
"Alright, Hyacine, you wash here."
"I'll take Castorice to the other bathroom."
After speaking, Lumina left Hyacine where she was, took Castorice's small hand, and prepared to lead her to the other bathroom.
"Wait... wait a minute!"
Just as Lumina's words fell, before she could take any actual action, Hyacine hurriedly called out to stop her.
"What's wrong?" Lumina's face was full of smiles, and on her exquisite, immaculate face, not a single abnormal emotion could be seen.
"That... that..." Hyacine lowered her head, her face flushing red, seemingly trying to say something that was difficult to bring up.
"Hyie, you can just say it." Seeing her like that, Lumina was simply charmed by her cuteness.
But to avoid showing any weakness, Lumina didn't let any emotion show.
"Um... the... the underwear hasn't... hasn't been taken yet."
Hyacine said, her face flushing red.
She only had one piece of pajamas in her hand, which was almost like not wearing anything. If she didn't get her underwear, and didn't wear some more conservative underwear, wouldn't it be the same as not wearing anything...
"Oh, that." Lumina nodded, then said, "You'll be sleeping later, so there's no need to wear underwear."
"Just wearing this one piece is fine, it's more comfortable for sleeping."
After speaking, seeing her standing there stunned, Lumina continued to add: "You absolutely must put the clothes you change out of into the laundry device."
"You absolutely cannot keep wearing them."
The meaning of Lumina's words was very obvious.
It was clearly telling Hyacine that she could only wear this one piece of pajamas later...
Without giving Hyacine any time to react, Lumina took Castorice's small hand and left.
Leaving Hyacine standing in front of the bathroom door, holding the pajamas and lowering her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
"..."
"We're... we're all girls..."
Hyacine didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, but in the end, she seemed to have successfully convinced herself.
She didn't go to get the underwear, but holding the pajamas, she stepped into the bathroom...
