Chapter 47: Bathing with Higokumaru's Tail

Sus chap

"It seems I shouldn't casually purchase summoning cards!" Phoenix couldn't help but sigh. Even after defeating a Main God-level Heretic God, she still ended up losing several hundred Crystal.

The conclusion was clear: summoning Heretic Gods with god summoning cards results in a loss over ninety percent of the time.

Though the main quest progress did advance by two points.

If it wasn't for summoning a Heretic God using a summon card, I would have earned over a thousand crystals.

Thinking back to the Inuyasha World, where even a great yokai only yielded 50 crystals, getting over a thousand here feels like hitting the jackpot.

However... if I can't complete the main quest without summoning, I'll have to do it even if it means losing crystals.

After understanding the full extent of her new powers, Phoenix finished washing herself and prepared to dry off and leave.

But...

Just as Phoenix was about to reach for her towel, the bathroom door suddenly swung open. A small girl's head peeked inside.

"Phoenix-nee, can I wash with you? I can even help scrub your back!" Higokumaru entered carrying a towel.

Only then did Phoenix notice that Higokumaru had come in completely naked.

"Higokumaru... What are you doing here? I'm already done washing," Phoenix stammered, staring at the fox-eared girl before her.

"But Phoenix-nee, it's hard to wash your own back properly, isn't it? You probably didn't get it clean. Let me help you scrub your back!"

Ignoring Phoenix's protests, Higokumaru walked right up to her. Behind her smooth, bare buttocks, several fox tails swayed playfully.

"Higokumaru!"

"Phoenix-nee... Don't you want me to scrub your back?" Higokumaru looked up with wide, innocent eyes, her expression perfectly crafted to tug at heartstrings.

Seeing Higokumaru's expression, Phoenix suddenly found herself charmed. For a moment, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

"Then... just wipe my back..."

Phoenix extended a finger, gazing at the adorable creature before her.

"Yes, just your back," Higokumaru nodded earnestly, her face serious.

"Very well!"

In truth, Phoenix didn't need much washing. With Honkai energy, Li Fire, and magical power coursing through her, no filth could ever approach her. But bathing had become a habit, and washing one's own back was always difficult...

Since Higokumaru offered help, Phoenix decided to let her assist.

"Phoenix-nee, turn around..." Higokumaru said cheerfully, seeing Phoenix's agreement.

Bathing with Phoenix-nee brought them one step closer in their bond.

"Oh."

Due to Higokumaru's short stature, Phoenix had to sit on the ground. This way, Higokumaru could reach her back and begin wiping it with a towel.

The soft touch of Higokumaru's delicate hands on her back felt incredibly soothing.

"Phoenix-nee, how does that feel?" Higokumaru asked softly.

"Mm, it's alright."

"Then... would Phoenix-nee like to feel even better?" Higokumaru said mysteriously.

"What are you planning to do?" Phoenix asked, startled. She turned her head to look at Higokumaru with caution.

However, since Higokumaru was completely naked, turning her head meant Phoenix inadvertently got another full view of her body.

But Higokumaru's body was that of a young girl, only a few years old, with nothing particularly noteworthy to see. So Phoenix didn't feel anything special.

"I could use my tails to wipe your body? It's very comfortable! Want to try?" Higokumaru turned around, her five fox tails swaying above her buttocks, fluffy and...

They looked so irresistible that one couldn't help but want to touch them.

"Tails... wipe my body? What... what would that feel like?" Phoenix stared at Higokumaru's tails, trying to imagine using them to wipe her body... but she simply couldn't picture the sensation.

"It'll be so comfortable! Phoenix nee, don't you want to try?" Higokumaru repeated, her voice dripping with temptation. At this moment, the fox spirit truly embodied the essence of a siren.

"Th-then... I'll... try it?"

Higokumaru's words kindled a flicker of curiosity within Phoenix.

"Mm-hmm! Here I come."

Higokumaru drew near once more, her fox tail in hand as she began to stroke Phoenix's body.

"Ah..."

In an instant, Phoenix's body shuddered involuntarily, a strange sound escaping her lips.

The feathery tail brushed against her skin, creating an odd sensation - part ticklish, but overwhelmingly more sensitive.

Even ordinary people would react to gentle fur strokes on sensitive areas. Yet Higokumaru's tail magnified this sensitivity several times over.

"Phoenix-nee..."

Just as Phoenix was about to drift off from sheer comfort, Higokumaru's small hand suddenly rested on her back.

"Hm?"

Phoenix hummed in confusion.

"Phoenix-nee... your chest isn't as big as in the previous world." Higokumaru's hand quickly brushed against Phoenix's chest.

"What are you doing?"

Caught off guard by the sudden assault - and from a young girl at that - Phoenix swiftly grabbed her hand.

"Nothing! I just heard..."

"Heard what?"

"I heard that if you rub them often, they grow bigger faster. Phoenix-nee, want me to help you rub?"

Higokumaru asked hesitantly.

"...Pah! No need..." Phoenix's face darkened with exasperation as she shoved Higokumaru away, barely restraining herself from smacking the girl.

What's wrong with having small breasts? Would Phoenix still be Phoenix if she had large ones?

"Alright, that's enough. Time to get out!"

Seeing that it was about time to leave, there was no need to linger in the bathroom too long.

"Phoenix-nee, are you angry? Don't be mad, okay? Why don't you rub me instead?"

Hearing Phoenix's voice, Higokumaru was startled. She quickly put on her most pitiful expression, fearing that Phoenix might start disliking her.

"I'm not angry. As for you..."

Phoenix looked at Higokumaru's flat chest, "You haven't even developed yet. What are you thinking about?!"

She vigorously ruffled Higokumaru's hair, then stood up and let the water droplets on her body evaporate by themselves.

After putting on her nightgown, she walked out.

However, before leaving, she glanced back at the smooth-skinned, young girl with animal ears - Higokumaru. "You come out too! Put on your clothes."

"Oh." Higokumaru.
