(I was doing experiments for a long time today, so I'm late, sorry~)

Hearing there was still a surprise, the Uma Musume ate much faster.

"Trainer, we're done eating, where's the surprise?"

"Come with me."

Lu Jue led everyone out of the dining room and deeper into the building complex, stopping in front of two curtains, one labeled "Men's Bath" and the other "Women's Bath."

"Hot spring!?" Tokai Teio had already guessed what the surprise was, but her face still showed disbelief. "Trainer, you're not tricking us, are you?"

"You'll know if I'm tricking you once you go inside." Lu Jue lifted the curtain, motioning for everyone to enter.

Passing through the changing room, the Uma Musume saw an open-air hot spring shrouded in white mist.

"Uralala isn't dreaming, is she?" Uralala rubbed her eyes hard. "Xiao Te, pinch me, let's see if it hurts."

"Oh, okay." Special Week foolishly extended her arm, then pulled it back after realizing. "Uralala! Why don't you pinch yourself?"

"How about it, the environment is pretty good, right?" Lu Jue said, looking around. "Later, we can even have someone bring you fruit."

"This is amazing! I want to try it now!" Tokai Teio was impatient; if Lu Jue wasn't there, she would have stripped naked and jumped in already.

"What about you all? Do you want to try it now too?" Lu Jue looked at the others. Anyway, there was nothing to do in the afternoon, and he wanted to try it too.

All the Uma Musume nodded one by one.

"Then I'll have someone prepare towels and bathrobes."

The Uma Musume followed the servants to change, and after Lu Jue gave a few instructions, he also went to change into a bathrobe.

Unlike the plush bathrobes in hotels, this bathrobe was very thin, and the men's version deliberately exposed the chest.

Lu Jue's physique and figure were already well-proportioned and outstanding; enhanced by this bathrobe, his pectoral muscles were subtly visible, and coupled with his handsome face, he had the air of a stoic god.

When he arrived at the changing room, the Uma Musume happened to be there too.

Tokai Teio had initially wanted to tease Lu Jue, but after seeing his attire, her words caught in her throat. She glanced at Lu Jue's chest, then timidly looked away.

Special Week stared for a few more moments, and Rice Shower was no exception. Uralala's gaze was fixed on Lu Jue.

Seiun Sky and Silent Suzuka were fine; one was used to touching, and the other had eaten plenty.

Nimble Beret swallowed hard.

Lu Jue's Uma Musume all had more or less a bit of a mischievous streak.

"Are you all ready?" Lu Jue's words brought the Uma Musume back to their senses.

"Trainer, no peeking..." Tokai Teio tightened her bathrobe and said.

"No peeking~ No peeking~ You enjoy yourselves, and I'll enjoy myself~" Lu Jue finished speaking and walked independently towards the men's bath.

On the women's bath side.

The Uma Musume, like dumplings dropping into a pot, one after another, took off their bathrobes and stepped into the hot spring.

It was their first time seeing each other so openly; except for Tokai Teio and Uralala, the others were somewhat reserved.

"Mimi, come quickly and swim~ Does Uralala need to teach you?"

Uralala demonstrated her swimming strokes in front of Rice Shower, and the splashing water landed on Rice Shower's face.

Rice Shower, while dodging the splashes, revealed a happy smile and gradually relaxed.

Tokai Teio stayed for a while then got out, began scrubbing her body, and hummed a beautiful song.

Nimble Beret, Special Week, Seiun Sky, and Silent Suzuka leaned against the stones at the edge of the hot spring in order.

Nimble Beret tilted her head back, looking utterly content, letting the hot spring embrace her.

A rosy mist floated around Special Week's face, and her hands were still covering her chest.

Seiun Sky, looking left and right, discovered a new continent. "Xiao Te, why are you so shy? It's everyone's first time."

She took Special Week's wrist and moved her covering hand away.

"I'm a little... shy." Beneath the hazy mist, Special Week lowered her head, her pretty face becoming even redder, making one want to take a bite.

"Don't be shy~ Your figure is so great~" As Seiun Sky spoke, she grew a little envious and directly reached out.

Special Week's figure was probably on the slightly plump side, soft to the touch, like cotton.

"Sei, Seiun... don't tease me anymore."

"Don't be shy, Xiao Te~ Look at Xiao Bei, how natural and graceful she is."

Coincidentally, Uralala found some toys from somewhere, which perfectly described the scene on Seiun Sky's side:

Here were the backs of two white rabbits hidden underwater, and there were the backs of two white swans floating on the surface.

"Silence Suzuka, what do you think?" After teasing Special Week, Seiun Sky puffed out her chest, pointing directly at Silent Suzuka.

"I don't know." Silent Suzuka coiled her orange hair, closing her eyes, ignoring Seiun Sky.

Out of sight, out of mind... but it was still a bit annoying, especially with Seiun Sky constantly chattering.

But some things, she couldn't refute, facts she had to admit.

After putting on clothes, was there really no undulation at all? Silent Suzuka felt there was still a little bit.

Was it... Lu Jue's doing?

Silent Suzuka opened her eyes, skipping over Seiun Sky, then skipping over Special Week, her gaze finally landing on Nimble Beret.

What exactly did she eat less of...

A doubt couldn't help but arise in her heart: Did Lu Jue-jun like this too?

"Rice Shower, look, it floats up! I press it down, and it floats up."

"It really does... Why doesn't mine float up when I press it down?"

"Maybe it's because of the weight?"

Uralala held a small yellow duck toy, pressed it underwater, and watched it tumble and float to the surface.

Rice Shower's might have been damaged and taken on water; when pressed underwater, it wouldn't float without external force.

There was only a wall separating the men's and women's baths, and with the sound of flowing water, the soundproofing was actually decent.

But coincidentally, Uralala and Lu Jue were both near the wall, so Lu Jue easily heard Uralala and Rice Shower's conversation.

He was originally enjoying the hot spring leisurely, sipping red wine, but after hearing Uralala and Rice Shower's conversation, he couldn't help but frown.

No... What are these two little ones doing? Such a large scale?

"They must be playing with little duck toys." Lu Jue looked at the few small yellow duck toys floating past him, affirmed his thought, and took another sip of wine.

If it were Seiun Sky and Silent Suzuka talking, then he might have let his imagination run wild.
