Chapter Text
"It's mixed bathing time right now. Also, the dressing rooms are different, but the hot spring is the same," Ray says obliviously as he sits in the hot spring water.
Nemesis wants to drop kick him. Mixed bathing time? That's all he has to say? After walking in on her and Azurite naked? When he himself is just wearing a towel? Her eyes dart towards his crotch, but she doesn't see any sign of an erection. She feels a little mad about that, even though she had just told Azurite that Ray didn't get sexually excited about naked women ever since the traumatic amazon incident in his youth. Still, though.
"What do you think you're doing?" Nemesis asks Ray, deciding not to voice those other thoughts just yet.
"Bathing," Ray says, looking towards her. He studiously keeps his gaze locked on her eyes, never flicking downwards. Nemesis frowns.
"You should let us see your body. It's only fair."
"Fair? Wait, see what?"
"You saw us both naked, so we should get to see you naked."
"What?" Azurite yelps, finally saying something. She has her sword in her hands, ready to swing.
"Does Azurite even want to see me naked?"
Ray turns and look towards Azurite, who is suddenly very pointedly looking up at the sky. An awkward silence hangs over the three of them. Eventually, Azurite coughs.
"I wouldn't say that I don't not find Nemesis' proposal uninteresting," she finally says.
"What?" Ray says after a moment's pause.
"She means, take off that towel!" Nemesis insists. Ray hesitates, but Nemesis can feel that she's winning this argument.
"Okay, but you're not allowed to be weird about it," Ray says, finally admitting defeat against Nemesis. He wads his towel up in his hands and sets it on the stone edge of the hot spring.
Nemesis can finally see Ray's dick. It's... normal looking. A bit big.
"Hmm," she says, trying to act calm even as her heart pounds in her chest as she openly stares at Ray's dick. "Are you really that big?"
"What? I didn't adjust any of my settings except my hair. But I'm not really that big."
Nemesis has to disagree there. At least, to her eyes, Ray certainly does seem to have a big dick. Not that she would know otherwise.
"He's... big?" Azurite asks from across the pool, a blush tinting her cheeks. She's still wearing that silly mask, which has got to be all fogged up and incapable of being seen out of.
"Azurite, just take off the mask. I already told you Ray hasn't ever seen your face before."
"You saw her face?" Ray asks, surprised.
"Yeah, it's why she's wearing this mask in here in the first place."
"Oh. That makes sense."
"....Very well," Azurite says, more quickly than Nemesis expects. "I suppose... well, enough has happened that if you ever were to learn who I was, I would already be embarrassed. My face does likely not make a great difference there."
With that, she takes off her mask, and sets it to the side, next to her sword. She angles her head down shyly, despite already being naked in front of both of them. Perhaps she feels even more exposed now, without her mask.
She really is pretty, Nemesis thinks. With an excellent figure, too. How is Ray not aroused by the sight? Nemesis certainly is.
"Ray, do you really feel nothing seeing our bodies?" she says suddenly. A shocked expression appears on Azurite's face, and her blush deepends. Ray turns similarly red.
"I-- I may not be sexually aroused, but I suppose you couldn't say that I'm not flustered, a bit," he says.
"You're doing a good job at hiding it, then."
"I didn't want to panic you guys! Shu told me--"
"Shu told you!?"
"He told me to never panic if I walk in on girls in the bath! To just act normal!"
"What circumstances lead to brother bear telling you that? And where did he even get that advice?"
"I don't know!"
"Alright, if you don't get sexually aroused by naked women, what do you get aroused by? You have to have jerk-off fantasies about something, right?"
"Nemesis!"
Ray's face is completely red by now. He moves to cover his crotch with his hands, but that just draws Nemesis's attention. His dick is half-erect.
"Don't tell me that that's from me berating you!" Was Ray really that kind of pervert?
"What? What kind of fantasies do you think I have?"
"I don't know! That's why I'm asking!"
"It's just because you're talking about lewd things! You're making me think lewd thoughts. This is your fault!"
"What kind of lewd thoughts?"
Ray's mouth opens and closes silently, like a fish, for a few moments.
"Sex, obviously!" he eventually blurts out.
"With us?" Nemesis asks. She isn't sure why she's pushing. She's already crossed several boundaries with Ray right now-- but she feels like there's something just within her grasp, for her to take, if she can find it.
"I mean, you two are the only other people here right now!"
There's a pregnant silence. Nemesis is about to break it and say something, but Azurite beats her to it and stands up suddenly in the water.
"I'm going back to my room!"
Nemesis looks at the way Azurite is fidgeting, her bright red cheeks, and the way she's very studiously avoiding looking at Ray, and comes to a certain realization.
"We should all have sex together!" she says, making Azurite and Ray both freeze. "What? I know you're both thinking about it. And actually doing it together would be more fun than going off and masturbating in our own rooms thinking about each other.
"What do you say, Azurite? You look like a girl that could really stand to relax every now and then. It'll be fun! No strings attached. Not even any complications to worry about, since he's a Master!"
"Well..." Azurite looks interested, but hesitant. "I can't say I'm uninterested..."
"What about me? You didn't even ask me if I wanted to, Nemesis!" Ray sounds irritated. Oops.
"You have a boner right now, so I thought you'd be up for it," she admits honestly.
"That's not how it works!" Ray huffs. "But... if you both want to... I'd be down. Not just because I'm hard, though, Nemesis!"
Nemesis tries to look suitably chastened, but a grin breaks out, and she rubs her hands together.
"Meet at Ray's room in ten minutes?" she asks, her eyes darting between Azurite and Ray. They both nod.
