The steam swirled around them languidly; the bath they rented for the day was truly a cozy place. Laughter hung in the air... until the system pinged.
[Yunohana Tsukikage has donated 1000 Chronos]
For a heartbeat, Kaiden thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. But no; the familiar name gleamed at the very top of the feed. It was the same woman from the Bastet Q&A video, one of the most notable people in the Shogunate Circle, Japan’s leading guild.
The chat detonated.
- BladeOtaku99: Y-Y-YUNOHANA?! THE Shrine Maiden?!
- GhostHunter: Bro got 10k USD dono from the hottest woman in the universe... Life is not fair...
- ShrineDefender: Impossible. She doesn’t even show up for interviews!
- KnightofJustice: Don’t be fooled! She must’ve come here to voice her hatred of this despicable man!
That was when the message attached to the donation began reading.
[The sight of so many spirits united in warmth brings harmony to the heart. Baths such as these are not merely for the body, but for the soul. May your evening be as serene as the water, and may you find strength in each other’s company.]
- Lady Leia: Kekeke! You’re a delusional clown @KnightofJustice
- Kaiden’s Wife: 🤡🤡🤡
As the fangirls began tagging the haters with rather condescending messages, the Valkyries froze mid-giggle and exchanged surprised glances with one another.
But the silence only lasted a heartbeat.
The feed shot using Kaiden’s POV shifted to Aria, showing her damp hair and cheeks that were touched with pink from the steam. She smiled brilliantly, making Kaiden forget to take a breath for a moment. She was far too beautiful in the haze of the bathhouse.
The Moon Valkyrie looked directly into his eyes before addressing the Japanese woman. "Lady Yunohana, thank you. Your kind words mean so much to us. Things aren’t easy right now... but as long as we stand together, I know we can weather any storm!"
...
Far away, Maximilian’s face twisted with fury. His fist clenched on his knees. "That meddling Japanese bitch dares...!" he hissed, voice full of venom. "She should just be sipping her tea and not interfere!"
"Yeah, this is strange... She rarely ever speaks up, even when it comes to domestic matters, let alone international ones like this." Harold muttered under his breath.
Next to him, Elise’s sharp nails dug into her boytoy’s thighs as the woman scrolled through the chat. Her canines flashed when she growled. "It’s still mostly the mob tearing him apart... but not all of them."
- PureHeart: If Lady Yunohana stands with this guy, he can’t be that bad...
