Part 1 – Shangrilla
「Uwaa, the bath is so big desu! What’s more, it’s very extravagant desu!」
Sylvia was running toward the bath while stark naked.
Under the full starry sky, steam was rising from the open air bath that was so big it could be mistaken as a pool. Marble and granite were used lavishly to build the bath. Bamboos and ornamental plants were planted at the surrounding to conceal the bath from outside. It was an arrangement with extremely good sense that brought about elegance and extravagance. There was nothing blocking the side that was facing the sea, allowing the view of the starry sky to spread out until the horizon.
Yurishia stood up from the bathtub so that the water only reached until her thighs. She was staring at that scenery from that posture. Hot water was trickling down from the gentle slope that her bust line depicted. The water drops were glistening on her blond hair.
「The view is really pretty……the water is also pleasant.」
Himekawa also stood up as though invited by that voice. The water that was clinging on her slim and slender body flowed down. She untied the towel that was wrapped on her hair and a sigh of admiration toward the grand sight of the night sky slipped out from her mouth.
「You’re right……it has been so long since I can feel at ease like this.」
The sea breeze gently caressed his body, cooling down her flushed skin.
「Even so, to think that the lab’s rooftop has this kind of facility……」
She turned around and stared at Reiri half in exasperation.
「This spa area was created as a part of the employee benefit. After all the research staffs tended to be shut-in. Having this kind of facility serves as good refreshment for them.」
「To me this only look like an abuse of authority though. Leaving that aside, is this bath for mixed bathing?」
「We couldn’t create two for each gender due to the budget limitation. But this place is a female bathing in effect seeing that I’m the one using it.」
Reiri took out a beer from a refrigerator that was placed at the side of the bath and put it on her mouth. Then she began to drank in delight. Her white and slender throat moved up and down with each gulp.
「Commander, is it tasty desu?」
Sylvia was looking up to her with desire in her face.
「Yeah, but for you……is this one.」
Reiri handed Sylvia a can of cocktail juice.
「Waa♪ Thank you so much desu!」
Reiri led Sylvia to the bathtub and submerged her body into the water. And then next she put a sake bottle and a sake cup in a small bucket and let it float on the water. On the other side, two white mountains with pink color on the summits were passing through.
「How’re you feeling Aine?」
「Very nice. Doing this……makes me feel like I’m floating in space.」
Aine was looking up to full starry sky with her silver hair spread over the water. Her white limbs were swaying gently inside the hot water.
Yurishia sat down on the edge of the bathtub and smiled to everyone.
「Say, how about we call Kizuna too and have a meeting here?」
「Wha-! What kind of stupid suggestion is that! That’s just absurd! Shameless!」
「Geez, this American has the mind of a bitch.」
「That’s rude. Isn’t that just because you aren’t confident with your own body?」
Yurishia’s waist leaned to make a pose as she stared at Himekawa’s breasts.
「Wha-……!」
「U-umm……」
Sylvia timidly raised her hand.
「So we aren’t, allowed to call captain here……desu?」
Sound vanished from that place.
「What……did you say?」
「No, umm, Sylvia heard that everyone should participate so, Sylvia thought it was only……natural」
It was then, the door of the entrance opened energetically.
「Sylvia, you there──wait, what’s this place? A bath……eh, UWAAAAA!?」
There was a pleasant *thunk* sound and Kizuna’s body fell backward.
That day, the scene that Kizuna saw last was the bottom of the bucket that Himekawa threw. It was uncertain whether he managed to witness the Shangrilla at the other side of the steam or not.
