<h4>Chapter 42: The Arrival of the Demon Knight</h4>


    SPLASH!


    Ary jumped into the water of the hot stream, and while loosening up a little, hemented,


    "Hah...it feels so good."


    He was tired and after getting a hot water bath from the divineke, he felt sofortable.


    "Hmm. That''s the divineke. It''ll help in healing your wounds if you have any."


    Kashi, who was beside Ary,mented.


    "That''s good."


    Ary replied while enjoying the bath.


    "Hey, Mike. Why are you looking so down? Don''t you like the water here?"


    Ary asked as his gaze fell at Mike, who was beside Kashi with a depressed expression on his face.


    "No...the water here is good...but the bad thing is..."


    Then, he nced at Kashi with a cry-like expression, saying,


    "Why senior? Why did you disagree with Miss Mai''s idea—"


    SLAP!


    But before Mike could say anything, Kashi pped him, saying,


    "Don''t agree with that idiot!"


    "Sorry..."


    While drowning in water, Mikemented.


    ***


    (Ten minutes before)


    "Wh-What? Together?!"


    Erica repeated with a shocked look.


    "That''s not possible!"


    Emily said in a slightly embarrassed voice.


    "It''s possible!!"


    Mike roared, saying,


    "What''s wrong with you, girls? Don''t you know the beauty of a mixed bath? Don''t you ever think of the beauty of nakedness—"


    "Shut up, you freak!!"


    While pping Mike, Emily ranted.


    "UWAK?!"


    With an agonic roar, Mike fell to the ground.


    "You''ve been too much, Mai. I decline this petition."


    Kashi said in a slightly angry voice while folding his arms.


    "What? But why? It''s not good—"


    "No means no!"


    Kashi ranted.


    Mai held her peace after hearing this and then sighed, saying,


    "Fine then."


    ***


    "By the way, Senior."


    Ary called out while shifting his gaze to Kashi.


    "What is it?"


    Kashi asked.


    "From which time are you from and how old are you?"


    Ary began questioning at this point.


    "Ah, I''m from the 1870s."


    Kashi replied, as a wry smile formed on his face.


    "Wow...you''re older than my grandparents."


    Ary said with a gasp of amazement.


    "Haha. I think so."


    Kashi replied, saying,


    "And as you know, I was 25. But since I''m an Ultimate Warrior now. My aging slows down. Like one year old in ten years."


    "For real? Does that mean that''s the same as me?"


    Ary asked.


    "Yeah, I guess so."


    Kashi replied.


    "Oh yeah, I just remember."


    Ary said then he gaze at Kashi, asking,


    "I didn''t see your heavenly beast. Where is he?"


    Kashi smiled at Ary, saying,


    "He was unhealthy so I sent him to the clinic of the Heavenly realm for a check."


    "Oh, I hope he''ll be fine soon."


    Arymented in a slightly low voice.


    "Hmm?"


    Suddenly, his gaze shifted behind Kashi.


    "Mike? What are you doing?"


    Ary asked as he saw Mike doing something with the ropes.


    "Hmm?"


    Kashi responded as his gaze shifted to Mike.


    "You..."


    Kashi''s expression changed to disgust as he understood what Mike was doing.


    Mike smirked then gazed at Ary and Kashi, saying,


    "I''m going to watch the beauty of nature."


    Meanwhile, the girls on the other side,


    "Hey, Mary. My God, look how much you developedtely."


    Emily called out as she noticed the increment in Mary''s boobs.


    "Right~"


    Mai said as she stepped toward Mary and grabbed her boobs from behind.


    "Ah, Miss Mai?!"


    Mary said but suddenly an unexpected moan came out of her mouth as Mai squeezed Mary''s boobs.


    "D-Don''t do that...Ah~"


    Mary said while moaning.


    Erica and Emily chuckled after seeing this.


    Mai said while squeezing Mary''s boobs,


    "Don''t worry. Giving them massage help them to increase."


    SQUEEZE!


    "Ah~"


    Mary moaned then covered her mouth with her hands.


    "Hmm? Hey, Erica."


    Emily said as her gaze shifted to Erica''s boobs.


    "Hmm?"


    Erica reacted while shifting her gaze to Emily.


    With a yful smile, Emily stepped toward Erica, and in an instant, she grabbed her boobs, saying,


    "You''re also massive, don''t you think?"


    "H-Hey, don''t touch it."


    With a slight moan, Erica said.


    But Emily squeezed her boobs with a yful smile.


    "Ah~"


    Erica moaned while trying to resist.


    "Not bad at all."


    Emily said with a yful smile.


    "Huh?"


    She reacted as someone''s hands grabbed her boobs.


    "Miss Mai?!"


    Emily was left startled as she realised that it was Mai.


    She looked back and saw that Mary was gasping behind Mai.


    It looked like Mai had already teased her enough, and Emily''s turn finally came.


    SQUEEZE!


    "Ah~"


    Emily let out an unconditional moan as Mai squeezed her boobs,menting,


    "You girls have to train for this, y''know?"


    "Huh?"


    Suddenly, Mai reacted as she noticed something.


    She released Emily, saying,


    "Girls be on alert. A pervert ising."


    "Huh?"


    Mary, Erica, and Emily reacted.


    They shifted their gaze to the wall beside them.


    "Hiya!"


    Mai jumped above and grabbed the stone on the wall and started climbing up.


    "Where are you going, Miss Mai?"


    "At least wear something first."


    Erica and Emilymented after seeing her going.


    "Ah, worry not. I''m not going anywhere."


    Maimented as she knelt on a rock and waited for someone toe.


    "Just a little more."


    While climbing the rope, Mike mumbled.


    He somehow attached the top of the rope to the top of the wall and started climbing above to see the girls.


    "Beauty...Natural Beauty..."


    While continuing mumbling, he finally reached the top.


    "Senior, don''t we have to stop him."


    Ary asked.


    Kashi loosened up a little, saying,


    "Rx, he won''t seed."


    "Huh?"


    Ary didn''t understand. That''s why he shifted his gaze to Mike to see whether what Kashi said was right or not?


    "Here Ie, natural beauty—Uwakh?!"


    Mike raised his head to see the girls but somebodyunched a kick on his face so hard that he fell back into theke with an agonic roar.


    "Told ya."


    Kashi said as a pleasant smile shaped his face.


    "Miss Mai?"


    Ary reacted as she saw Mai''s face.


    Luckily, he only saw her face, nothing else.


    Mai showed her tongue at Mike and a smile at Kashi and Ary then jumped back into herkeside.


    Ssh!


    She jumped back.


    p! p! p!


    Erica, Emily, and Mary started pping in amazement, saying,


    "You''re wonderful, Miss Mai."


    Erica said while smiling.


    "Yeah, that was a marvelous attack on him."


    Mary said.


    "Yeah, please teach me so that I won''t let him do that again."


    Emily said while reflecting on her anger at Mike.


    Mai smirked and said,


    "Sure."


    Soon enough, they came out of the bath.


    Ary stepped forward toward the open ground. His gaze fell toward the sky full of stars.


    He smiled, saying,


    "How beautiful it looks like."


    "You''re right."


    A voice was heard from behind.


    Ary looked behind and saw Kashi stepping toward him.


    They were wearing casual clothing after the bath.


    While gazing at the sky, Kashimented,


    "I especially made it in my realm. It keeps reminding me of my family."


    "Your family...?"


    Ary repeated.


    "Yeah."


    Kashi replied as he lowered his gaze, saying,


    "It reminds me of the time that I spent with them."


    His voice was a little brittle.


    Ary understood that his family may not exist anymore that''s why he didn''t ask anything but just nodded.


    "Whatcha looking at?"


    In a wobbly voice, someone asked.


    "Hmm?"


    Ary reacted as he looked back.


    But as he saw a certain person, he couldn''t help butugh, saying,


    "Man, Mike. Look at your face. It''s all red. Hahaha."


    Emily gave Mike a good beating for attempting to peep at girls.


    "Shaarup! (Shut up!)"


    Mike said in a wobbly voice.


    Even Kashi broke up inughter after seeing his face.


    "Hmmm?!"


    Suddenly, both Kashi and Ary reacted as if they sensed something.


    "Wait, is that a..."


    Ary called out.


    "Yeah, but how?"


    Kashi said as he gazed toward the sky.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Mike asked in his wobbly voice.


    CRACK!!!


    Unexpectedly, the transparent shield around Kashi''s realm broke and someone was seen in the sky.


    "...?!"


    Both Kashi and Ary reacted as if they understood who it was.


    "Wha...?!"


    Mike was left open-mouthed after seeing that person.


    "Yo! Warriors."


    The man said.


    That man was none other than Red scarf Demon that was searching for him.


    "But how...?"


    Kashi was left stunned after realising that the demon had already broken the barrier.


    "Ding!"


    But before anything happened, Almita made a dinging sound, reporting,


    <Demon Knight has been found.>


    <Rank:- SH Rank.>


    <Weakness:- Unknown.>


    <Chance of winning:- Unknown.>


    "What?!"


    Ary was left startled.


    "SH rank?! Unknown weakness and an unknown chance of winning?!"


    Then, he gazed at Almita, pondering,


    ''What the hell is wrong with you, Almita?!''
