"..." My tail wags animatedly as Evelyn-chan shifts in my lap. I look at Eve, who is staring coldly at me, watching Evelyn get comfortable on my lap.

"Ah, are you really going to complain? Evelyn-chan drank, and it's not my fault! You're the one who had the tray earlier!" I say to Eve. I'm willing to forgive her, but not if she starts a fight first.

"I know, Syl'Vyr... just don't do anything stupid. And Evelyn-sama likes to be very clean. Since you're already near her, clean her up because, being drunk, I don't think she'll be able to do it herself..." Eve says, but Evelyn-chan interrupts.

"I don't need anything! I-I can do everything myself! I'm fine! I'm not drunk just because the world seems to go whoosh whoosh and whoosh!!" she says, acting silly as she leans forward slightly.

"Evelyn-chan, if I clean you, you won't have any more time to enjoy the bath and your reflection in the water? Look how beautiful your reflection is," I say to Evelyn-chan, appealing to a bit of logic.

"Oh... you're clever! I like that, Syl'Vyr! Be clever like that all the time!" she says, accepting it. I look at Eve, who just shrugs. But suddenly, Evelyn-chan plunges her face into the water, trying to kiss her own reflection, and I quickly pull her back.

"...No!! My reflection needs attention! It's a bit distorted, but it will become as beautiful as me with a little love!" Evelyn says, trying to get her face back in the water, but I hold her until she stops, forgets what she was going to do, and just stares at Eve.

"Evelyn-sama probably doesn't mind you touching her, of course, as long as you don't go too far. Just prevent her from drowning, please," Eve states clearly, her gaze fixed intently on my movements as she watches Evelyn-chan carefully to ensure she doesn't do anything to hurt herself.

"Evelyn-chan, so may I clean you?" I ask. Evelyn-chan stops moving and thinks for a moment.

"Hmm... hmm... you may, but I am not drunk and incapable of doing this! I just think it's better if someone else handles it," she says authoritatively as I grab the towel from the corner to start scrubbing her body.

'...' My tail swishes excitedly in the water while my ears stand at full alert. I start by rubbing the towel on her hips, cleaning carefully, and begin to make conversation.

"Evelyn-chan, what kind of person do you like?" I ask curiously. She shivers at my touch.

"Mysterious people are fun! Like a fun mystery game! A-And... also... they're beautiful! Like well-made art! Very... Hmmm... cool?" She gets confused about what to say, making a funny face that I see in the water's reflection.

"That's great... but what kind of person, specifically?" I ask, more out of pure curiosity.

"Oh, you want girl talk? I've never had friends, but girl talk seems fun! I always wanted to try, but you can only do it with friends, so we are friends, right? Eve and Syl'Vyr are my friends, so I guess we can talk about it," she says in a completely silly tone, letting the alcohol do the talking.

'Never had friends... that's...' It's kind of sad. I give her a tight hug, even though she probably doesn't care much for it.

"W-Well, actually, I-I don't know who I like... I'm confused. Handsome men are cool, but... girls... girls are weird! I'm a girl, but I don't understand what I feel! Like, girls are prettier and cuter and more attractive than boys?" she says, a mix of statement and question.

"Well, how about we test it?" I say. Eve looks at me like she's about to kick me out of here.

"How?" Evelyn-chan asks, all confused.

"Like this!!"

"H-Hyaa?!" She lets out a confused little squeal when I grab her breasts. They're much softer and smoother than I expected. Wanting to keep up the bath-time fun, I start rubbing them.

"What do you think of this? I'm a girl, and I'm touching you. What do you feel?" I ask, massaging her breasts. Eve still doesn't do anything.

"I-It's strange... I feel p-perverted... perverted! You pervert!! We can't do perverted things in the bath!" she says, all worked up, flailing her arms agitatedly in the water.

"You pervert! If this were a novel, it would go past R-15 if it goes any further!! But I'm not a pervert! I'm like, like the strongest marionette of all!!"

"Then don't ruin the bath scene!! Esther, Marie, and Evelyn need your respect! Where's the option to turn off the game's scenes?!!! I need my steam cloud censorship!!" Evelyn says more confusing things, even citing herself in the third person.

"Aaahh, I hate this! Why the hell is there steam cloud censorship?!! If I find out the maniac who created this shit, I'd throw them off a skyscraper!" She says words that are confusing to me, but I ignore them.

"I just feel more perverted because I see this happening now! Damn game system that doesn't work!" she says, puffing her chest out as if to fight with nothing.

"But I like it! My breasts feel good! It's like, pleasurable? No! It feels good, but I don't know why it's good! It's like tasting a little piece of cloud! It seems like it will be good, but it's just stupid water! Which makes me feel like a silly pervert!"

"Dammit, why am I a pervert? I feel my breasts as something good! It's all Evelyn's fault and her sensitive body! So I feel weird just from squeezing my own breasts, like it's good but naughty!" I hold back the urge to cry from how funny it is to see her making these cute faces while talking nonsense.

"This isn't a perverted thing, Evelyn-chan, it's just... a friend check, that's it, it's exactly that, two friends touching each other to see how they feel... besides, I don't even know what you're talking about?" I say, always watching to see how far Eve will let me go.

'...Is she not going to stop me?' I look at her, confused, since this is kind of tricking Evelyn-chan, although you can't really see anything properly; it's full of steam everywhere, and it's more of a fun game because of Evelyn-chan's reactions.

I bet Evelyn-chan herself only suggested we take baths together because she knew the steam would hide almost everything.

"Evelyn-sama isn't exactly against this, which is why I won't stop you, as long as you don't try anything beyond light intimacy. Evelyn-sama clearly doesn't want anything beyond the friendship level," she says. I nod, still massaging Evelyn-chan, but much more carefully now, so she doesn't call me a pervert when I just want to help.

"..." I see Evelyn-chan cutely cross her legs in the water shyly, blushing as she makes a pouting face.

"I'm not the youngest in the group!! Stop treating me in such an infantilizing way! It's so cliché! L-Like that one! About Japanese high school girls in Visual Novels touching their friends' breasts and talking about size!" she says something strange.

'Visual Novel? Japanese high schooler?' I stop my movements, confused, and look at Eve, who also looks confused.

'What are those things? Did Evelyn-chan drink too much?' I decide to stop touching her, letting go completely. I feel wrong for touching a girl who's so drunk she's already talking nonsense.

I think we let the fun go too far. The alcohol is clouding Evelyn-chan's mind too much, and I feel if we don't stop, she'll keep spouting nonsense we don't understand and that she probably doesn't want to share.

"Evelyn-chan, did it feel good?" I ask, curious about what she felt from my soft and gentle touch.

"S-So-so, hunf! It wasn't bad! But it didn't really mean anything either! This doesn't say who I like! I-Think... it would be better to do this with Eve... but without the perversion! Because perversion is for perverts! And I'm not a pervert!" she says, making me jealous.

'Haaa... I guess I'll never be able to bridge the gap of the time difference since we were created.' I see her looking at me, staring intently at my ears.

"You're cute!... what were we doing again? I'm not sure, my mind is like, zung zung and spinning back and forth. I feel like I'm a silly jelly," she asks as Eve stands up.

"Evelyn-sama, I think that's enough. I thought you could handle your liquor, but it's obvious you can't. I'll rinse you off and take you back to the room," Eve says. Evelyn-chan pouts.

"Boo boo, so boring! Mama Eve is a killjoy!" Evelyn-chan says, sinking into the water as Eve tries to approach but trips from standing up in the bathtub and bumping into Evelyn-chan's leg.

She starts to fall as I look at Evelyn-chan's face. Evelyn-chan makes a funny, open-mouthed face, clearly looking at Eve's breasts before Eve collapses on top of her.

"S-Sorry!!" Eve says quickly, getting up, while Evelyn-chan surfaces, completely fine because she used my body as a cushion.

"I-I thought I died!! For a moment I saw two dough balls falling from the sky! They were soft, like flop flop, but they were heavy!" Evelyn-chan spouts more nonsense as Eve lifts her out of the bathtub by her arms.

"Syl'Vyr, take care of the rest here. I'll take Evelyn-sama back to the room," Eve says. I nod in agreement, admitting that we might have taken this too far.

"...But they really are soft," I murmur, my tail wagging in the water as I recall the pleasant feeling of Evelyn-chan's skin. She really is amazing.

"HYAAA!!" I jump out of the water when I feel my tail being pulled and look at Evelyn-chan, who has a silly smile on her face. I look at Eve, who didn't hold her properly.

"Ohhh, it really is cute! I always wondered how cute it was, hehehehe, everything's like, spinning! Your tail is a fluffy cloud! O-OH MY GOD, I HAVE LEGS!! K-Kyaa!! E-Eve! Help me!" Evelyn-chan completely freaks out while I hold back tears and the urge to laugh.

"...Syl'Vyr, this group bath never happened..." Eve says to me, taking Evelyn-chan by the arms and starting to lead her away more firmly.

"Of course, hahaha, I won't speak of it..." I say, feeling much lighter for being included in this. I feel my insecurity fading, knowing that Evelyn-chan truly cares about me that much.
