143 Vol. 3 pt. 13 Patch 3.0: Apartment Life with Four Girls (2/2)

If Serra helped Alice bathe, then that means Serra is the first one to have seen Alice naked.

Serra notices Ryouta's realization and her smile manages to grow even smugger.

Ryouta may be the only man in this relationship, and people may joke about it being his harem, but he's really starting to feel like he's just a part of Serra's harem with how much faster she progresses than him.

He's really jealous of her, but he also admires her for that. Because of that, he gives her a thumbs-up and gets one in return from her.

”Though, I must say that Serra spent far too much time playing with my body and squeezing me. I wished to get clean, not excited!” Alice explains.

Ryouta takes back his thumbs-up as his feelings of admiration are replaced by pure jealousy.

”You can give me a bath, Ryou—” Aiko gets interrupted by Cassandra covering her mouth and pulling her away. The two resume their fighting.

”Speaking of baths, I should probably go get a shower. I'll be back in a bit,” Ryouta tells everybody before leaving to gather a fresh change of clothes and going into the bathroom.

A shocking, horrifying realization strikes him when he looks at the drain in his bathtub.

Hair.

So. Much. Hair.

How is this possible? How is it possible for a single bath to result in so much hair starting to clog the drain? If this much hair came from Alice alone, what is going to happen when the other three clean up as well?

He looks into his sink.

More hair. There are even a few hair ties, a scrunchie, and two hairpins laying around on his sink.

Oh no.

All the memes that he saw on the internet about girls being the destroyers of bathrooms are true.

The one place in his apartment that has always served as an escape for peace and solitude is going to turn into a hive of hair, beauty products, and clogged drains.

It is only a matter of time before his drains get so clogged with hair that they increase their feral level and evolve into hair-tentacle-drain monsters.

Then the thought of the girls being assaulted in his shower by tentacles pops into his head which turns his frustration into excitement. Alice would be the prime candidate since she would be the most helpless as—

No! Ryouta can't think of such a horrible assault happening to Alice as much as she would probably love to join in on the fantasy.

Something pokes his back which makes him jump and almost perform a Cassandra squeak.

Turning around, he sees Serra standing behind him with her hand on the door, locking it.

”What's – what's wrong?” he asks her.

Serra signs to him that they haven't had any real time alone in a while, and after being around the group all day, she wants to relax alone with him.

Ryouta signs back that that sounds nice and how he would love to do that but then tells her that the bathroom might not be the best place for doing so.

Then Serra signs that she wants to take a bath with him.

Ryouta asks her to repeat that since he isn't sure that he understood the signs properly.

That is when she points at him, then herself, then the bath. ”I wan hoo hake baff wiff you,” Serra says.

As fast as his nervous heart may be beating, he just can't say no to her.
