Kingdom of Elchea, Capital of Elchea— Western Region, District 3.

After threatening the boss to stay in the Inn, the siblings didn't even last one night before
wordlessly checking out. However, the second morning had already arrived for the siblings who
were currently lodging in Stephanie Dora's home.
No, to be exact— on the second morning, the siblings had arrived in the bathroom of her house.
".......Nii.......I hope.....you can explain."
The naked Shiro asked while being shampooed.
"Explain? If it is about the cleaning scene, then there won't be any sort of development if it isn't a bathing scene, should I explain more?"

"........Nii...........bathing scene.......otherwise..........grade schoolers.............are, perfect
NG's[16]......" "Don't worry little sister, the infamous [Mist block] will play a role, and make the
scene [Pure]." Sora gazed at the unnaturally thick mist in the bathroom and said this.
"Could it be, because of this reason, you actually 'boiled up the entire bath'?" Steph responded
with a dumbfounded expression while washing Shiro's hair. "Exactly this reason. This is an
important place after all."

"Did you know, because of this, the servants had to needlessly burn that much firewood?" And
after boiling the bath, it was common sense to not soak into it.
Senselessly wasting all that water to create a mist effect.........
"If you want to say it like that, then what about a particular person who gets to enjoy such a large bath and still has the audacity to accuse someone of being wasteful."
"—Guuu...."

(As expected of the lineage of royalty.)
Steph was actually much wealthier than what Sora had imagined.
The house was built with Roman-styled infrastructures, so it would not be inappropriate to call it
a [Castle], much to the chagrin of the siblings who only knew Japan. Furthermore, the personal
bath that Steph had was spacious enough to fit ten people inside.
The baths, which were also Roman-styled, were currently boiled up to make the scene [For all
ages].

With this level of luxury displayed, people really couldn't help but wonder if this was really a
house from a race that was on the verge of destruction.
"And also, I'm sorry. Because my sister hates to take baths— She also stubbornly believes that
[This includes even if an eleven-year old girl is in an eighteen-year old's ero book] so she
wouldn't let me help her wash, which explains why she rarely takes a bath. But yesterday she
said that if it was in a clean scene then it was okay, so I thought there was no reason not to take
advantage of that."

"........Guuuu......Nii, hate."
But the bottom line, this rule should be the most applicable to Steph. Shiro lamented, implying
that she was protesting.
"Little sister, if you take care of yourself then you will become super beautiful, so be a good girl
and take a bath." "......It's fine.....if I'm not a beauty."
"Your brother loves a beautiful Shiro." "........Guuuuuuuuuuu........"
Muttered Shiro in a low voice. She found it hard to complain more after hearing Sora say that.
But it will be fine either way.
No, they had attracted unpleasant emotions due to their intimate relationship as siblings, but this fact was ignored. Compared to that, there was something even more concerning that was at hand.

(This situation. Why did it happen in the first place?)
(Why am I washing a fully naked Shiro's hair, while Sora is wearing clothes and standing on the
opposite side?) "—Sora.......why, do I have to wash Shiro's hair?"
—No, it shouldn't be this thorough.
These queries were raised after suffering from a deep remorse on why she did not reject him
before. "Did you listen to what I said? It's because if you don't do it, Shiro will refuse to take a
bath."

"Do- does it even matter to me?!?" "Un, you want to let me see?"
"He—hell no! I am just asking if you are intentionally creating more trouble for me!"
"Rest assured, Steph. I will use my [Additional measures] to appreciate and feel your naked body
later." "—Wuh!"
Being told off like this, Steph blushed and covered her body.
But on the other hand, hearing the indication that Sora might have interest in her allowed her a
sense of "peace of mind".
