"The water is lukewarm," Saya complained, feeling the water pouring out of the supposedly warm faucet as she sat on the low chair inside the bathroom.
Regardless, she filled her small bucket with the lukewarm water and poured it over her head, drenching her untied long pink hair and her naked body. Then she picked up two bottles of toiletries and brought them close to her face to figure out which was soap and which was shampoo, squinting with her poor vision without her glasses.
"That pervert is seriously making a harem," she said as she rubbed the shampoo through her hair, asking for agreement from Saeko, who was sitting on a low chair beside her, and Rei, who was already soaking in the bathtub.
"If Hayashi-sensei and Marikawa-sensei are okay with it, I don't see a problem," Saeko replied, answering Saya's grumbling as she finished rubbing the soap over her entire naked body—her fair white skin glistening with foam—before grabbing the shower head, though not to wash herself yet.
"What? Do you like— Gyaaah~!"
Saya's question was cut off by a girlish scream, her soft F-cup breasts bouncing as she twitched in surprise from Saeko spraying cold water on her back.
"That's a cuter scream compared to what I've heard so far today."
While Saeko laughed cheerfully, Saya quickly filled her bucket with cold water and poured it onto Saeko's back to get her revenge, wanting to make Saeko scream as well. However…
"Phew…"
"Geh, I didn't get much of a reaction out of you," Saya said, disappointed—partly because her revenge failed, mostly from Saeko's sheer willpower.
Saeko simply endured the cold water with a sweet, cheerful smile as she wrapped her arms around her knees, pressing her D-cup breasts against her slender thighs.
"And what about you?" Saya said, directing her question to Rei, who had remained quiet, lost in her own thoughts during the entire conversation.
"Ehh?... What do you mean, Takagi-san?"
Seeing Rei flustered—her face blushing red, and surely not because of the lukewarm bathwater her soft E-cup breasts were floating in—Saya grew even more suspicious.
"Don't tell me that pervert did something to you when the two of you were together this morning?"
"Nothing… We didn't do anything wrong…"
Shifting the topic slightly to avoid raising more suspicion from Saya and Saeko—anything that might expose her little secret with Nach—Rei briefly told them what else happened during her time with him: that he protected her from a group of delinquent high school boys, that they fought a pair of aggressive and strong undead, and their encounter with the madmen blocking the road.
She kept the details to a minimum and, of course, didn't mention being assaulted by the crazy thug or her intimacy with Nach.
"Ehh?... What do you mean by strong undead?"
Rei leaned toward Saya, her soft ample breasts pressing on the edge of the bathtub, then gave a detailed explanation of the fight against the strong high school girl undead—how it was able to overpower Nach and how it seemed to retain its affection for its undead lover.
"What the heck… As if an undead outbreak wasn't enough… Are they going to evolve or something…" Saya murmured, her body trembling on the seat—not from cold water, but from the memories of her encounters with the undead since yesterday, especially the avalanche of undead they had just escaped.
Saeko leaned toward Saya, their bare skin touching as she tried to console her.
Of course, Saeko shared the same concern about the stronger undead. However, her real concern was Rei and Nach's encounters with the living.
"And what Nach-sensei did against the group of delinquent high school boys and those madmen?" she asked, barely hiding her excitement behind her calm tone and the sweet smile curving her lips—one that poorly concealed her violent instincts.
"I-I'll have you know… what Sensei did was only to defend ourselves…" Rei murmured, defending Nach, though she didn't hesitate to tell Saya and Saeko what happened: that Nach beat up two of the delinquent boys and shot the other two in the shoulders, and the details of the intense fight against the madmen where they left them dying.
"And what about you?" Saeko asked, realizing why Rei was sharing all this when she could have easily kept everything secret.
"What did you do to defend yourself and Nach-sensei?" she added, giving Rei a gentle and caring smile to let her know she wouldn't judge or blame her for what she might have done—that she could share her guilt.
"I… shot… No, I killed someone… I shot him in the neck…" Rei whispered, her voice trembling as she clenched her hands over her breasts.
Saeko stood from her seat and stepped into the bathtub with Rei, embracing her and letting Rei bury her face into her breasts. At the same time, Saeko lowered her head as if to kiss Rei in the head—but in truth, she was hiding the savage, hungry smile she could no longer contain, thrilled by the details of Nach's fights. Her violent instinct—the desire to cut not only the undead but the living with her katana—was rising uncontrollably.
"Don't be an idiot, would you, Miyamoto," Saya said as she got into the bathtub as well, squeezing herself behind Saeko.
The three of them were cramped into one small tub, feeling each other's warmth through bare skin, more than the lukewarm water, as their naked bodies pressed against one another.
"Even Pervert-sensei knows men can be as dangerous as the undead in this chaos. And when I say men, that includes him too!"
"You're saying that, but he always seems to be pampering you," Saeko said, pointing out all the times she'd seen Nach patting Saya's head with genuine concern rather than a perverted look.
"And why are you paying so much attention to him?" Saya shot back, trying to return the attack despite her face starting to blush—not from the warmth between their bodies, but from being flustered by the memories Saeko's remark brought up.
"Don't tell me you like that pervert?" she added, finally fishing a flustered reaction out of Saeko, whose face and ears reddened.
"Is Pervert-sensei your type, Busujima-senpai?" Saya continued with a smirk, wanting to break Saeko's calm, composed demeanor even further—only for Saeko to smile sweetly and give a safe answer.
"Aside from his pervertedness, Nach-sensei has been doing his best to protect and save everyone, so… it's not that hard to like him."
"Grrr~!"
Annoyed by Saeko's response, Saya looked at Rei—only to stop herself from asking the same question, remembering that Rei had a boyfriend.
But even though Saya didn't ask her, Rei was already feeling guilty from the memory of her intimacy with Nach, and at the same time, instinctively aroused.

Meanwhile…
Nach, of course, was watching their entire bath scene—Rei, Saeko, and Saya—through the holographic screen of Reader's Viewpoint flashing at the corner of his vision.
Shizuka wasn't with them since she was treating Mrs. Maresato and Karen's injuries. But Nach was sure he would get his chance later.
