Peeping?

Chapter 58

In another part of the forest, there was a giant waterfall about ten meters in height. Crystal-clear water poured down continuously with the flow.

The water splashed into droplets, and a hazy mist covered the area of the waterfall.

Trees and crystals covered the area around the waterfall. This place looked like a forest sanctuary.

From Sirius's point of view, it was easy to see this place. His direction happened to be the place with no obstacle.

The reason Sirius noticed this place was straightforward. There was a group of girls bathing under the waterfall.

"Do girls like to bathe during the day? And even inside the dungeon?" Sirius muttered with some confusion. He was puzzled by their behavior.

'And why do these girls look familiar….' Suddenly Sirius felt something weird.

While Sirius was busy thinking about it, the girls mentioned above started chatting under the waterfall.

"I'm glad you found this place, Tiona! We can take a nice and comfortable bath here. It's a pity we are leaving tomorrow, so we can only come here once." The older amazoness sister, Tione Hiryute, said.

"Hehe, actually, Lefiya and I found this place. It doesn't matter if we come here once. I have remembered this location, so we can come here again when we revisit the 18th floor." The younger amazoness sister, Tiona Hiryute, replied.

"Well, that makes sense." Tione nodded after realizing this point.

The two brown-skinned amazoness sisters chatted while standing at the waterfall's edge.

"Thanks for finding this place, Lefiya~" A certain distance from the amazoness sisters, a blond-haired elf approached a golden-yellow-haired elf with a gentle smile and gently patted her head. They were Alicia and Lefiya, respectively.

"Uhh— W-We just found it by accident…." The shy Lefiya bowed her head in embarrassment. She was not used to this kind of intimacy.

"Ahh, shy Lefiya looks so cute~" Alicia teased Lefiya.

"Alicia-san…" Lefiya was even more embarrassed after hearing this.

"Alicia, don't tease Lefiya too much. She is almost about to faint from shyness." A black-haired cat girl couldn't bear to see this and stepped between the two and rescued Lefiya. She was Anakitty Autumn.

"Aki, don't talk nonsense. How can I tease Lefiya? I'm just praising her…." Alicia felt that she was slandered out of nowhere. Therefore, she pouted and retorted unhappily.

The three were near two human girls, Line Arshe and Elfy Colette. And soon, they started chatting with each other.

In a shade of a nearby tree, a blond-haired girl listened to the laughter and chattering of her companions. She was Ais Wallenstein.

Ais was about to remove her clothes when she suddenly stopped.

The next moment, Ais raised her head and looked in a specific direction suspiciously. She found a conspicuous towering tree in that direction.

'Is anyone there?' Ais felt a particular gaze from that direction before but felt confused after finding nobody there. She wondered if it was just an illusion.

"What's wrong, Ais?" The mama-san, Riviera, was beside Ais and quickly noticed her abnormality.

Ais stared at the top of the towering tree for some time and shook her head in response.

"It's nothing, Riviera. It may be an illusion…."

"Illusion?" Riviera raised her eyebrows and looked in the direction Ais was staring at and found nothing but a tall tree.

'Is there someone peeping from there?' Riveria thought suspiciously but then shook her head.

'It's impossible. Although that is a good spot for peeping, no one knows we will bathe here. Maybe Ais felt gaze from some passing animal or monster.'

Riveria thought and dismissed her concerns. After all, she never thought there was someone in that place before their arrival.

"Don't worry, Ais. It might be your delusion…." The relieved Riveria comforted Ais with a gentle smile.

…

"Hah…Hah…"

Above the aforementioned tree, Sirius leaned against a thick trunk and tried to hide his figure as much as possible. He was breathing rapidly due to nervousness.

"Almost found…" Sirius was very glad about his reflexes. Otherwise, he would be exposed.

"They turn out to be my familia!?"

"If I think more carefully, I should have realized it after seeing so many girls…."

"After all, apart from Loki Familia, where else are so many beautiful girls in this generation?" Sirius pressed his chest, trying to calm his rapid heartbeat.

'Speaking of which, Ais's senses are too sharp, right?' He only stared at her twice but was immediately noticed and almost exposed.

When Sirius discovered the group of girls from Loki Familia, they had almost finished bathing, and some were even dressing up. Therefore, he didn't see anything inappropriate and felt it was a pity.

It stands to reason that Sirius should not be afraid of being discovered because he arrived earlier than them.

But will these girls believe his excuse?

If Sirius was found in such a situation, it meant social death. No matter what excuses he has, nobody will believe in him.

It was a coincidence that he was nearby the place where the girls of Loki Familia were bathing. And, nobody would believe in such coincidence.

They would rather believe that Sirius was a peeping tom which would ruin his image and reputation.

"Phew, fortunately, I hid fast enough. Ais should not find me, right?" Sirius retook a deep breath and thought with some uncertainty.

"Sirius-san, what are you doing up there with a guilty expression?" Suddenly a nice and calm voice came from under the tree.

When Sirius looked down, he found Ryuu, who had finished bathing and returned.

"Ahh…" Sirius didn't know how to reply.

"Don't tell me you were peeping?" Suddenly, Ryuu narrowed her eyes and asked with some uncertainty. At the same time, she took two steps back subconsciously.

"I'm so careless. I didn't expect you to peep from the tree, Sirius-san." Ryuu couldn't help muttering.

"Ryuu-san, this is a severe misunderstanding. Look around; the trees are so dense around here. I can't peep while you are bathing even if I want." Sirius didn't want to be labeled a pervert, so he explained with a helpless expression.

"Then, why are there so many broken branches on the ground?" Although she agreed with what he said, she raised her doubts.

It was unrealistic for Sirius to peep from up there. But she didn't know why so many broken branches and leaves were on the ground.

"Well, I took a nap on the tree and didn't expect the branches to be so weak. Therefore, some fell off the ground. And, I don't have any guilty expression. I just felt fortunate that I didn't fall." Sirius was quick to make a reasonable excuse.

"Is that so?" Ryuu somewhat believed him after hearing his explanation but asked for verification.

"Yes, you can trust me, Ryuu-san." Sirius patted his chest in confidence.
