Inside the hot spring, Alex rested his arms against the stone edge of the pool. Mist swirled around his body, and water droplets clung to his black hair, rolling down his neck.
A stream of water slid past his Adam's apple, traced the sexy line of his collarbone, and finally merged back into the pool from his chest...
The beautiful hostess's gaze drifted intentionally or unintentionally across his torso. More accurately, she was staring at Alex's physique. His chest and arm muscles were completely exposed—finely sculpted, hard, and seamlessly integrated into a form that was almost too perfect to be human.
No professional fitness coach, anatomy professor, or trainer in the world could forge such perfect muscles. The hostess's eyes sparkled with hunger, making Alex shudder.
It felt like being stalked by a wolf... Tsk, a lady predator.
"I'm just a little curious because I've never met a guest as strange as you," the hostess said, casually lifting a long leg and letting the view of her intimate areas slip into the boy's line of sight on purpose. "Actually, the women who serve the guests in this inn are... well, to use your words, they are whores."
"However, as the proprietress, I have never actually slept with a guest," she said, her vibrant red lips forming words that were hard to believe. "In fact, my body is still pure. Would you like to be the first to try it?"
She was teasing him.
Alex gave her a flat, "dead fish" stare. "Oh."
"Oh? What does 'oh' mean?" The hostess was a bit stunned. "I'm telling the truth..."
"I don't care. More importantly, you said the ones serving guests are whores. That raises a question: where are they? I don't see a single one."
Alex looked left and right, pointedly avoiding looking at the beauty right in front of him.
The hostess stamped her foot in frustration. "You said you weren't interested in them, yet now you ask where they are... Are you teasing me? That's so cruel~"
"I'm just curious about your brothel. Why is there nobody here but you? Not even a servant? And what about the surroundings? Do you usually get many guests? Why set up a brothel in the middle of these deserted mountains?"
Looking at the boy who had suddenly turned into a fountain of questions, the hostess clicked her tongue. What was with this kid? He didn't look like some saintly monk who was immune to beauty, yet he looked right through her...
Usually, guests were like dogs at her feet, desperate to crawl under her skirts.
"The inn has servants, of course. As for them... they just aren't here right now..."
In the women's bath, Mila Tsubakihara, Shiho Hihara, and Reina Hihara were soaking in the hot spring. The chill was chased from their bodies, and they let out long, comfortable sighs.
"Phew..."
"Still no signal. Searching," Reina sighed, putting down her phone. "Mom, are we really staying here overnight?"
"We'll see what Alex-kun says," Shiho replied, rubbing her shoulders and feeling her skin. "With him here, there's no need to worry too much."
"...I know Alex-kun is amazing—Grandpa respects him so much—but it's normal to be a little worried," Reina glanced at her mother. She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but her mother seemed much more radiant than usual, like a rose in full bloom. "You don't seem worried at all, Mom. You really trust him."
Ah...
Hearing the undertone in her daughter's voice, Shiho winced. She didn't know how to respond and fell into silence. Her attention had been diverted by the inn and the weather, but now... the memory of her having sex with Alex-kun came rushing back.
It seemed she really had become his woman... It was still so hard to accept!
"Actually, it's not as bad as you think," Mila Tsubakihara said gracefully, scooping up a handful of water and letting it run down her body. "Once you accept it, it's just how things are. For Alex, an age gap isn't an issue at all."
Reina had almost forgotten—there was another one of Alex-kun's lovers right here.
"Auntie Mila, you and Alex-kun are also... like that. Is that really okay? He's young enough to be your son, right?"
"Yes, and so what? Alex's power allowed me to regain my youth—even eternal youth," Mila said, cupping her heavy, buoyant breasts in the water. "Right now, I could easily claim to be eighteen forever."
Pah, Mila, you're so shameless. Claiming to be eighteen at your age... fine, even if it's true, it's still narcissistic.
Shiho Hihara was speechless. She wouldn't admit it, but she was a little envious. Eternal youth... I'm his woman now too. I should be able to get that treatment, right?
"No wonder. I think Auntie Mila looks much more beautiful and younger than Mom," Reina mused.
Smack!
Shiho slapped her daughter's head, her face darkening. "Reina, whose daughter are you? How can you say that to your mother?"
"I'm just telling the truth."
"Fine, fine! Anyway, your Auntie Mila is prettier and younger than me. But do you know why? It's because Alex-kun's semen has magical properties. Mila is prettier because she's swallowed plenty of it."
Reina Hihara: "..."
What kind of mother says that to her pure daughter!
"Shiho is telling the truth, Reina. It's a good thing for your mother to follow Alex. Don't mind it," Mila glanced at her best friend. "Alex and I didn't start off as smoothly as your mother. A lot happened back then... but none of that matters now."
"My two daughters and Alex go to the same school, and they have feelings for him too."
"WHAT?!"
Both Hihara women were shocked.
"Mila? Are you serious? Yuna and the others also like Alex-kun...?"
"Auntie Mila, wait—your daughters like Alex-kun too? Then you... all of you... have that kind of relationship with him together?"
"Yes. Yuna and Nina are just like me."
Shock. Disbelief.
"Can you really accept something like that?"
"Why not? To outsiders, it might seem scandalous, but for us, it's the best choice. Alex isn't a normal human. We will be together forever. Isn't that a form of happiness?"
"..."
"..."
Shiho Hihara looked at Mila as if she were seeing a ghost. It was as if she were meeting her best friend for the first time. Mila was serious. It was unbelievable—the proud, noble Mila Tsubakihara not only had a man but was serving him alongside her daughters.
How much did she love that boy?
Shiho realized Mila hadn't chosen Alex just for eternal youth or superpowers. She truly loved him.
"Shiho, do you and Reina want to try it too...?"
"No! Absolutely not!"
Shiho Hihara jumped up like a startled cat, splashing water everywhere. "I could never accept something like that!"
Uh... Reina hasn't even said anything yet. Why are you the one freaking out?
Noticing two strange stares directed at her, Shiho's face turned beet red. "Reina... Reina has someone she likes, a fiancé! She can't do such impure things!"
"Is that so? But Reina hasn't spoken for herself, has she?"
"Anyway, no means no! Don't mention this ever again!"
