After Emily agreed to Natalie’s suggestion to take a bath, Natalie pulled her directly into the bathroom of her private chambers.
Even though it was technically a bathroom within a room, its sheer size left Emily stunned.
It was large enough for more than ten people to bathe together at once.
Rather than a simple bathroom, it felt more like a grand bathhouse, and the decor was incredibly lavish.
Even within the church, Emily had never seen a bathing pool of such a scale.
Of course, more than the size and opulence of the room, what truly bothered Emily was Natalie’s gaze.
Emily felt as though Natalie had been staring at her the entire time.
Moreover, for some reason, the focus of that gaze kept shifting between her chest and her thighs.
If Natalie had been a man, such blatant behavior would have immediately branded her a pervert.
Naturally, this was the reason Natalie had insisted on Emily taking a bath in the first place.
This way, Natalie could feast her eyes.
No one would dislike seeing the person they liked stripped bare! Natalie was already starting to regret not bringing a magic item that could record images.
If she had one on her, she could have recorded Emily in her birthday suit.
Under Natalie’s intense and focused gaze, Emily asked somewhat timidly, “Um… Demon King, what are you still doing here…?”
After all, Emily had originally assumed she would be bathing alone.
She never expected Natalie to stay behind after bringing her to the bathroom.
Although she knew that Natalie’s sudden suggestion for a bath couldn’t possibly be out of the kindness of her heart, the way Natalie had been staring at her since they arrived made her skin crawl.
“Oh… come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve bathed today either. Since we have the chance, let’s just wash together.”
“Huh?”
Emily couldn’t control her surprise.
Only several hours ago, the two of them were still mortal enemies.
Now, in the blink of an eye, they were going to bathe together?
This jump in their relationship was far too extreme!
Besides, bathing with another girl was a first for Emily.
Back at the church, she had a private bathroom.
Initially, the nuns had intended to serve Emily while she bathed.
After all, even ordinary high nobles were attended to by maids, let alone Emily, the Saintess.
However, Emily had rejected all of their requests.
For Emily, the idea of being served by girls while bathing was simply too shameful.
Furthermore, since Emily had originally been a man, it would have been difficult to feel absolutely nothing in that situation.
If she had any sort of strange reaction and the nuns noticed, Emily would have been disqualified as the Saintess.
The control-freak God would have deemed her in violation of the established rules and given her a little punishment.
Therefore, Emily avoided any action that might reveal her true nature.
Currently, she had to maintain the persona of a flawless Saintess.
“Um… is it really okay for you, the Demon King, to bathe with the Saintess?”
“Of course it’s okay. I’m the Demon King, aren’t I? If I can’t do as I please, then what’s the point of being the Demon King?”
‘Wow, I can’t even argue with that… this Demon King is way too reckless!’
“Um… but this…”
“Tsk, why are you being so hesitant? If you won’t undress yourself, don’t blame me for helping you!”
“Helping me with what?”
Before Emily could react, Natalie raised her hand.
In the next moment, accompanied by a powerful surge of mana, Emily’s nun habit instantly shredded and exploded, along with the intimate garments underneath.
“!”
Realizing her current precarious state, Emily immediately crouched down and covered her body with her hands.
She truly never expected that one day, her clothes would be forcibly blown off!
At this moment, Emily was naturally ashamed to the extreme.
This was the first time in her life she had been completely seen by someone else, and that person happened to be a beautiful girl.
Of course, it had taken Emily quite a while to get used to her current beautiful body.
She had even secretly done some wonderful things while she was alone.
It was hard for Emily not to have some strange thoughts about her own beauty; after all, in her previous life, she had been a person who had absolutely no luck with girls.
Now that she suddenly possessed such a body, how could she resist doing something to it?
“Oh.”
While Emily was dying of shame, Natalie was looking over every inch of her skin as if she were admiring a work of art.
Naturally, she was also very interested in the parts Emily was currently covering.
“Why would you do something like this!”
Emily questioned Natalie, her eyes shimmering with tears.
“Heh, I’ve wanted to tear that revolting nun outfit off you for a long time! I just took the opportunity to do it now!”
“…What exactly do you want with me! I would rather die than be humiliated!”
‘Although, if possible, I’d prefer not to be killed either,’ Emily thought.
However, given her Saintess persona, she had to act as though she would rather die than submit.
After all, Emily didn’t know if God was watching her right now.
“No, I’m not trying to do anything special. I already said it, I just intend to take a bath with you.”
“…Taking a bath with your prisoner so suddenly? Is this something a normal person would do!”
“I’ll do whatever I want!”
Natalie replied.
Facing Emily’s logic, she found herself unable to argue, so she unhesitatingly resorted to this flawless, tyrannical reasoning.
“…”
“I suggest you stand up properly. After all, you can’t exactly bathe while crouching.”
Despite her words, Natalie’s gaze was fixed on the areas Emily was hiding.
She was fully prepared to feast her eyes.
Natalie made no effort to hide how interested she was in Emily’s body.
“…Cursed Demon King. I won’t follow your orders.”
“Is that so? Then I guess I have no choice.”
With those words, Natalie reached out her hand again.
A moment later, Emily’s body was slowly forced from its crouched position, bit by bit, until she was standing.
“This is—!”
Emily could clearly feel her body being physically pulled.
‘It’s not mental manipulation? Is it telekinesis or some other magic?!’
Although Emily desperately wanted to resist Natalie’s “outrage,” the difference in their power was too great.
No matter how she struggled, she was forced to stand straight.
Even the hands that had been covering her private areas were forcibly moved aside by Natalie’s telekinetic force.
Utterly humiliated, Emily could only stare at Natalie.
Meanwhile, Natalie basked in the sight of Emily’s fully exposed and magnificent figure.
