Chapter 922

"Then there's no need for you to trouble yourself, Sister. Broly is someone I trust."

【He does bad things directly to my body, so why would he need to do bad things to my intimate clothing————】

"Fubuki, you're just too naive, far too quick to trust others."

Tatsumaki stopped there, not continuing. She had only just managed to ease the tension in her relationship with her younger sister, and she didn't want things to become too stiff over the luggage matter. At worst, she would just go to Broly's side later and retrieve her younger sister's luggage herself.

"Sister, are you going to soak in the hot spring now?"

"Of course. We came to this place for exactly that, didn't we?"

"Then I'll go to the reception to get the yukata."

The hot spring inn prepares clean yukata for guests. After Hell's Blizzard collected the children's size and adult size yukata at the inn's reception, Mosquito Girl and Vivian also walked over.

"Are you two also preparing to go soak in the hot spring?"

"Originally we wanted to go with Broly, but this hot spring inn's public baths don't support mixed bathing, so we can only soak separately."

"The guest rooms booked by the Association don't provide private baths, so we're preparing to pay out of pocket to upgrade to a room that provides a private bath.

Sister Fubuki, do you want to come soak together tonight? If so, I'll need to book a larger room for the private bath."

Hell's Blizzard's face flushed slightly. She was well aware what men and women would do in that kind of private bath room: "I'll decide based on the situation whether I go tonight. Also, you two had better not go too far in that kind of room. If my sister discovers your relationship with Broly prematurely, the difficulty of Broly wanting to capture my sister will definitely increase enormously————"

"Mhm, Sister Fubuki, you're right. Then we won't upgrade the room type; we'll just book another room directly. As for the one the Hero Association booked, we'll use it as a cover."

Vivian booked a new room with a private bath at the reception. Tatsumaki walked over from the corridor: "Fubuki, what are you doing? It's just getting a yukata, why did it take this long?"

"Sister, I'm not doing anything. I just heard some rooms provide private baths, so I wanted to ask if we could upgrade our room type."

Hell's Blizzard answered while secretly hiding the new room's key in her sleeve.

"Private bath?!"

Tatsumaki was stunned for a moment, then thought of the scene of soaking in a hot spring alone with her younger sister in a room, and couldn't help but feel her heart stirred.

"So did you upgrade?"

"No, those rooms have already been booked out entirely. The Association only booked ordinary room types."

Tatsumaki pursed her lips, a trace of disappointment, but she didn't doubt Fubuki's words.

"Let's go. I can't wait to go soak in the hot spring.

97

Tatsumaki said this, turned around, and walked toward the women's hot spring pool.

"Let's go together too."

Mosquito Girl and Vivian followed. In the changing room, they encountered some female staff members from the Hero Association. Together they undressed, went to the shower area to wash their bodies, and only after cleaning themselves did they proceed to the hot spring area.

Moreover, to maintain the water quality of the public hot spring pools, this hot spring inn stipulates that towels cannot enter the water. In other words, one must bathe naked.

In the mist-shrouded outdoor bath area, Vivian and the others, who hadn't entered the water yet, had freshly washed bodies that were blindingly white, while Tatsumaki's eyes were fixed on Fubuki's body.

"What's wrong, Sister? Why are you staring at me like that?"

Fubuki subconsciously covered her key parts and asked.

"It's just been a long time since we've been this open with each other. Has your body developed some more?"

"Ah, h-has it?"

"Your butt is perkier, and your chest is bigger too————"

Tatsumaki said this, then lowered her head to look at herself. Her figure was the same as ever, almost indistinguishable from how it was over ten years ago, showing hardly any trace of time's changes.

"Ugh, why do you get a ripe peach-like mature woman's figure, while I'm still stuck with a child's form?!"

"Miss Tatsumaki, isn't this kind of figure great? You don't have to spend any effort maintaining it."

While Tatsumaki envied her real younger sister's physical development, the Hero Association's female staff also envied her skin quality. Not only was her skin tight, but her body was pink and tender like it hadn't fully developed, caught between a loli and a young girl.

Never mind men — even they, as fellow women, felt an impulse to hug this porcelain doll into their arms and have proper intimate contact when looking at Tatsumaki.

Of course, this impulse was limited to thoughts. As for actually executing it, unless they wanted to experience the sensation of high-altitude free-fall without a rope.

【Humans are strange creatures. Those who have already grown up always want to return to when they hadn't grown up, while those who never grow up envy the matter of growing up————】

Vivian sat into the hot spring pool, exchanged a glance with Mosquito Girl, engaging in a round of eye communication, then actively struck up a conversation with Fubuki.

They started chatting from the selection of daily skincare products————

Tatsumaki, in this kind of hot spring idle chat, was gradually drawn in.

"Miss Tatsumaki's hair, it hasn't been permed, is it naturally curly?"

"Mhm, naturally curly."

"It's very soft. I wonder what shampoo and conditioner you use?"

"Just normal brands."

"Your skin is also very good. Do you use any skincare products?"

"No, I just frequently wrap my body with psychic power, isolating ultraviolet rays."

Under Vivian's intentional guidance, Tatsumaki went from initially being unaccustomed to chatting about girls' topics with others, to slowly blending in.

"Miss Tatsumaki, you're this cute. Surely many people pursue you, right?"

Vivian, seeing the atmosphere was right, asked the question.

"Pursue me? Not at all."

", are you joking?"

"No, I'm serious."

"Then why is that? Could it be that you don't accept others' pursuit, and therefore no one comes to pursue you?"

Tatsumaki pursed her lips. How would she know why.

"I never refused anyone pursuing me. It's just that no one has ever come to pursue me.

Saying it like this with her mouth, in her heart Tatsumaki was thinking about her own body's failure to develop.

She felt it was probably because of this—compared to cute women, men obviously preferred sexy women.

【This world has never lacked lolicons, but lolicons who dare to mess with a legal loli like Miss Tatsumaki are almost nonexistent, because they're also afraid of dying————】

Beside them, the female staff of the Hero Association answered Vivian's question in their hearts—they knew exactly how ruthless Tatsumaki was when cleaning up monsters, and almost all the monsters Tatsumaki cleaned up were crushed into a ball by her psychic powers.

"Then if someone wanted to pursue Miss Tatsumaki, would you accept?"

"Hah, why would I have to accept?"

"Uh, but Miss Tatsumaki, you don't refuse others' pursuit, do you?"

Vivian looked at Tatsumaki somewhat stunned, while Hell's Blizzard sighed beside her.

【Being difficult is just right—that's my sister's personality————】

"I don't refuse others' pursuit, but that doesn't mean I have to accept others' pursuit."

Tatsumaki's words were somewhat contradictory, but Vivian thought about it seriously and instead figured out what this person meant.

Not refusing pursuit meant Tatsumaki had intentions of dating, while not accepting pursuit meant she wouldn't agree to anyone who pursued her.

In other words, if she met someone who suited her preferences pursuing her, the other party would probably agree.

"Then Miss Tatsumaki, I don't know what kind of man pursuing you would make you agree?"

After thinking these through, Vivian asked again.

"Hah, how would I know?"

Tatsumaki turned her face away, her cheeks slightly reddening, looking just like she'd come out of a hot spring, but it might also be embarrassment at discussing such things.

Before, no one had ever talked to her about such dating topics, and she had never thought about being pursued by others.

"Then why not use the men Miss Tatsumaki knows around you as a reference for hypothetically being pursued by them—if they actively pursued you, would you be willing to agree————"

Tatsumaki's thoughts were led by Vivian's words, and she actually extended her imagination based on this.

As a hero, the men Tatsumaki knew around her were basically all related to the Hero Association.

And in the Hero Association, there were indeed quite a few excellent men who could be called social elites.

But those guys, when facing her, were either fawning and obsequious or stiff and formal—Tatsumaki couldn't like them at all.

And as for heroes, Tatsumaki was more familiar with fellow S-Class heroes.

Yeah, that obvious gay Sexy Prisoner, definitely pass.

Metal Bat, a chuunibyou brat with a sister complex, made her want to beat him to death.

Genos, Drive Knight, Metal Knight—those three iron lumps sitting at one table; if they wanted to pursue her, she wouldn't mind throwing them into the recycling station to be treated as scrap iron.

Tanktop Master, no feeling.

Flashy Flash, a sissy with a hair clip.

Watchdog Man, she doesn't keep dogs.

Blackluster, just an emo kid now.

Pig God, a rice bucket who only knows how to eat.

Zombieman, a pale face all day long.

King, a donkey face, and only knows how to pose.

Child Emperor, a little brat.

Atomic Samurai, isn't that an old man?

Bang, a stinky old man slightly worth respecting.

Saitama, Baldy, stinky bug!

Broly————

Tatsumaki subconsciously skipped him, until S-Class Rank 1, Blast, who once saved her when she was young.

To be honest, probably only Blast could make Tatsumaki agree to pursue him without hesitation.

But would Blast pursue her? Just thinking about it was impossible.

【That guy probably only thinks of himself as a child————】

"Sister Tatsumaki?"

"Hmm?"

"What do you think of Teacher Broly?"

"His mouth is quite sweet (and quite respectful to me, at least he doesn't treat me like a child like others do), not bad. If he actively pursued me, I'd consider agreeing to his pursuit."

Tatsumaki gave a serious answer.

"Then, what if it were gender-swapped Sister Fubuki?"

"?!"*2

"Do you like messing around?"

"Hypothetically, just hypothetically, if Sister Fubuki became male, and had no blood relation to you, Sister Tatsumaki————"

Tatsumaki just imagined it for a moment, and her expression became somewhat unnatural. If Fubuki really became male and came to pursue her, she probably really would agree.

"This kind of hypothesis is meaningless————"

"Yeah, I can't become male, and even if I really became male, I would absolutely not pursue my sister."

Hearing this, Tatsumaki looked at her own younger sister with a black face question mark expression, and getting somewhat angry, she directly chose to attack.

"Ah, Sister, what are you doing?"

Fubuki, her chest in pain, hurriedly shook off her older sister's small hand pinching her chest meat, and looked at her somewhat angrily.

"Hmph, who let you say you wouldn't pursue me?"

Tatsumaki's eyes didn't dodge or avoid, and she said even more angrily than her.

"You should pursue me."

"On what grounds?"

"On the grounds that I'm your older sister."

【So she's a siscon too————】

The two female Hero Association staff members thought to themselves.

Just as the sisters were frolicking on the women's bath side, Broly on the men's bath side was curiously looking at the other people soaking in the hot spring pool.

"What's up, Broly, haven't you ever soaked in a hot spring with other people before?"

Beside him, Saitama noticed his gaze looking at others and couldn't help but ask.

"No, I've soaked in hot springs with others before, it's just that most of the time it was with my wife."

Saitama: "————"

", Broly, you're already married?"

Bang asked curiously.

"Mm.

""

Broly nodded.

"It's good for young people to settle down early, otherwise once you pass a certain age, you won't want to settle down anymore."

Bang seemed somewhat relieved.

"Hey, Silver Fang, you speak your piece, why are you looking at me?"

The currently 37-year-old large-age single male Atomic Samurai, who completely had no intention of settling down, couldn't help but roar.

"Mr. Broly, what were you looking at just now? According to my analysis, it seems you were staring at everyone's lower bodies."

Genos asked from the side.

"Mm, indeed. I was just a little curious about the differences in everyone's physiques."

97

", could it be you're also a potential Superalloy Darkshine, interested in the same sex?"

Saitama asked jokingly, and beside him Metal Bat instantly pulled away from Broly.

And in this men's bath, Superalloy Darkshine wasn't present. It wasn't that he didn't want to soak in the hot spring, but that he was prohibited by Association staff from entering the public hot spring.

Among all S-Class Heroes, only he was arranged to have a single room with a private bath, and the reason was merely worry that he couldn't restrain his gaydar and would thereby commit criminal acts.

Of course, Superalloy Darkshine might not necessarily succeed in committing crimes, but if S-Class Heroes fought each other, that would also be a very troublesome matter.

"No, I have zero interest in the same sex."

"Then why were you staring at others?"

"I wasn't looking on purpose. I was just a bit surprised that your builds were actually this small, so I took a couple extra glances."

Broly spoke the truth, and everyone present, including Bang and Saitama, felt offended.

"Hmph, this is truly arrogant!"

"You unconvinced?"

Broly looked at Metal Bat and the others who wore indignant expressions.

"You already said our builds are small, do you still expect us to accept it from a guy like you?"

"I'm just objectively stating a fact."

"In that case, your physique must be astonishing enough. Why not let us witness your strength!"

Flashy Flash proposed. Beside him, Watchdog Man who had come down to soak in a dog skin coat, and Pig God who was still eating even in the hot spring, both agreed with his words.

Even on the other side, Blackluster who had been kicked into a depressive state by Boros earlier now looked this way, clearly also unconvinced by the evaluation of Broly.

In response, Broly merely stood up, then sat down, and ended most people's unconvinced attitudes.

【Truly a beast!】

This was the inner voice of the many male heroes present.

"Even so, I'm not an adult yet. My height can still grow."

Metal Bat, however, was still somewhat unconvinced.

"Isn't there a possibility that I'm not an adult either, and my body is still growing?"

", how old are you?"

"18.

""

"Wow, you're actually a year younger than me. What did you eat to grow up like this?!"

【Possessing a robust physique may be the reason the strong are strong.】

Genos silently recorded this scene at the side, discovering Broly's physique ranked first, Saitama-sensei's physique ranked second. He lowered his head and looked at his own mechanical body.

【Wonder if Dr. Kuseno can help me upgrade and modify it————】
