Night Break and Pranks

Just as the door opened, Katherine suddenly moved two of the statues on the puzzle, causing the door to close itself.

"Mom!"

"Too bad. It's already almost nighttime. You three need to take a rest first."

Katherine forcefully dragged all three of them out of the cave and back to the tree near the entrance.

"Mom, we aren't tired! We can continue!" Sophia complained as she tried to go back inside.

"Yeah, we can still go on——"

"Am I your mom or not?"

Both of the girls fell into silence, grumpily sitting down on the rock floor as Alex quickly got up to help Katherine set up camp.

"Look at Alex. He understands and helps me. Unlike you two ungrateful brats just sitting there doing nothing."

"Hmph!"

Alex awkwardly scratched his head, realizing he had indirectly broken their unity by not speaking up and helping Katherine.

"Mom is doing it for our sake... Mary, isn't your leg already super tired earlier? And Sophia, you already used a lot of mana lighting up the cave."

Both of the girls fell into silence again, their faces blushing a little, knowing he was in the right. But they clearly didn't want to back down so easily from a cliffhanger like this.

"Come on, guys, we got two entire days to explore it. The faster we set up camp, the faster we get to sleep and explore the cave tomorrow."

"Fine..."

As the two of them joined in helping set up the camp, it hastened what was supposed to be a twenty-minute setup into only ten minutes.

With the camp fully set up, Katherine once again took three sandwiches out of her backpack before handing them over.

"Mom, are we going to eat this for the entire trip?" Mary grumpily asked as she took a small bite.

"Obviously, no... We're are actually going hunting tomorrow morning first before we explore the dungeon."

Hearing Katherine's plan, the sour mood immediately vanished from the girls' faces.

"Really? Are we really going to go hunting?" Alex asked, unable to hold in excitement, just like the other two.

"Our meals tomorrow depend fully on what you guys could get from the forest. So you all better rest up and be ready with your sharp eyes."

"Yay!"

As both girls raised their arms full of cheers, Alex suddenly remembered something during the walk here.

"Wait, Mom, we didn't see any animal on the way here. How are we going to find them?"

"That's because they are hiding from us. I'll help you guys. Just be ready to throw your spell at them."

The reassurance vanquished the last remaining mood as they quickly finished up the sandwich before getting ready to sleep.

However, before they could enter the giant tent Katherine had set up, she dragged them to a nearby empty, flat ground.

"What are we doing here?" Sophia curiously asked.

"Just give me a second... I need to find this first."

After waiting there for almost twenty seconds, Katherine finally found the object she was looking for in her pocket dimension.

It was a giant bathtub, the same one they had used on previous trips from their hometown to the capital.

"Mom... Can I just shower when we get back home——"

"I don't want to sleep next to a stinky bug. Get inside, or I'm going to throw you guys in."

Both girls immediately threw their clothes aside and jumped straight into the bathtub, not caring that their brother was right before them.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Alex was a little reluctant, his face blushing a little red from embarrassment.

"Alex?"

Katherine's voice quickly snapped him back to reality as he finally decided to take his clothes off.

By the time he was fully naked, Katherine had just finished filling up the bathtub with a water spell.

"Alex, you okay?" Mary curiously asked, noticing him standing outside the bathtub with his hand covering his crotch.

"I-I'm fine."

As Alex moved his hand away to climb over the bathtub, his eyes caught a glimpse of Katherine taking off her clothes.

"Focus, Alex, it's just taking a bath..."

Slowly submerging into the water, he closed his eyes to prevent himself from seeing his family's naked body.

Just as he was about to cleanse his mind from having weird thoughts, the water level suddenly rose rapidly to his chest.

It was clear Katherine had finally entered the bathtub. A naked, mature woman immediately appeared inside his mind.

"Mom!"

Mary suddenly yelled, her sounding a little dampened as if the water level had compressed her voice.

"Sorry... Let me rise the ledge a little taller for you."

As peace returned to the bathing session, Alex's mind was no longer embarrassed as the warm water surrounded his body.

He quickly realized no one was looking at his body at all. He was just overthinking it for no reason.

"This is so satisfying after so much walking today..."

As Sophia groaned out a little in pleasure, Alex suddenly heard the sounds of water being splashed onto somebody.

Soon, he could feel some water being splashed onto his face, forcing him to open his eyes.

"Hey, that was so uncalled for! You're going to get a taste of your own medicine!"

"Hehe, too slow!"

As Mary and Sophia splashed water towards each other's faces, he was constantly being hit in the crossfire.

"Enough. Stop fooling around. Aren't you two tired from walking so much?"

"Mary was the one who started it!" Sophia argued, feeling a little annoyed that she was being blamed.

"Hehe——Ouch!"

"Apologize to your older sister," Katherine warned as she quickly walked over to get a hold of Mary.

"Okay, okay. Sorry."

"Hmph!"

---

As peace once again ensued, the four of them could finally relax as the nearby crickets and bugs crankled at each other.

All four of them started to get a little sleepy, even though it had only been five minutes since he had entered the bathtub.

When Alex opened his eyes again, he soon regretted it, as the illusion of peace was immediately shattered. 

Katherine was right across from him, leaning back with her eyes closed. Her defenseless body was fully visible.

The voluptuous breasts he had always dreamed of holding were just a few steps away from him. Down below, her thighs were fully spread out, revealing her private part to his eyes.

A small bush covered it, allowing him to see a slither of her labia in the warm water.

Despite having seen her naked body a hundred times now, his mind just couldn't control the urge at all as an erection began to form.

He immediately thought of covering it with his hand but doing so might draw attention.

So, he took the risky option of doing nothing and hoping it would go away before they opened their eyes. 

"Alex, you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Despite Alex's assurance, it was far too late, as Mary's question alerted both Sophia and Katherine to open their eyes.

At first, neither of them noticed what was wrong until they started looking down and noticing the glaring difference in his body.

With the atmosphere starting to get a little awkward, Katherine finally decided to speak up.

"Stop looking at your brother's penis. He's going to get a little shy because of it."

The two finally moved their glare away from his crotch, allowing Alex to feel much less embarrassed.

---

After lying in the bathtub for a few more minutes, Katherine finally decided to get the three of them out.

As Alex and his two sisters headed over to their backpacks to get fresh pairs of clothes, Alex was completely stunned when he opened it.

"Alex, why are you still naked? What's wrong?" Katherine curiously asked, coming back from pouring the water out.

"Sophia and Mary... You two think this is funny?"

Both girls started swirling their hair with their fingers, shyly looking away as if they had done something awful.

Getting a little curious, Katherine decided to walk a little closer to have a look herself.

To her surprise, the backpack contained skirts and leggings, the same ones she had brought for Sophia and Mary.

"That's what you get for not packing your stuff yourself," Sophia nervously responded as she tried to deflect the blame.

"Yeah, that's what you get for ignoring us for almost an entire week," Mary nervously pointed out.

"Mom! T-This is not fair——"

"You two, immediately apologize to Alex right now."

Katherine's threatening voice immediately caused both of them to bow down in apology right before Alex.

"Sorry!"

After the apology, Katherine sighed. Her mind still couldn't believe the prank the two had pulled on their brother.

"Mom... I-I can't wear this. Can I wear my clothes earlier? Or do you have spare——"

"Sorry Alex, I don't think you can fit in my clothes... And I can't give you back your sweaty clothes."

The response made Alex look back down to his backpack again, which at least had a unisex shirt and his underwear that belonged to him.

After putting the two on, his lower body was practically naked as a cold breeze caused him to start shivering.

"I-I..."

Seeing Alex's face almost on the verge of tearing up, Katherine's heart started to ache.

"You two went way too far with your prank... Alex, if you want, I can teleport back——"

"No, it's fine, Mom..."

After a long hesitation, Alex reached inside the backpack again and took out the black leggings.

Slowly, he puts them on. His face felt more embarrassed than ever as he felt violated by the feminine clothing.

"Sophia and Mary, you two are going to be grounded for the entire year."

"S-Sorry."

Both of the girls bowed down in apology again, realizing the prank had gone way too far.

"Mom, I'm fine. It's not that big of a deal. I just need some time to get used to it, " Alex said as he closed his backpack.

"You sure? It will only take me a few minutes to——"

"Let's just go to sleep already... I'm getting a little sleepy."

Seeing Alex walk into the tent alone, Katherine couldn't help but feel guilty as he appeared to drop the grudges towards his two sisters already.

"You two... I don't want to see this happening ever again."

Both girls nodded again, their faces looking more sorry than ever, as Katherine let out a sigh again.

---

As Alex leaned down onto the bed and moved underneath the blanket, his body was starting to like the leggings more and more.

It was surprisingly comfortable, more comfortable than the pants he usually wears at home and in school.

"No, Alex, you can't get used to this. No man wears this unless you want to be called a girl."

Alex shook his head a little, resisting the urge as the three of them finally walked inside the tent.

"Hmph, you two are lucky... If I see you two do this ever again, there's going to be big trouble." Katherine warned again.

"Sorry, Alex. We swear this won't happen again."

Both girls apologized again, showing their sincere faces as Katherine chose to sleep in the middle to separate Alex and his two sisters.

"It's fine. I had already gotten over it... I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."
