The therapeutic heat of the hot spring finally began to work its magic, melting away the lingering discomfort from our insane road trip.

While most of the girls were quietly plotting their next moves, Tohka, as usual, was operating on a different wavelength. Even in a hot spring, she wasn't about to let herself go hungry, contentedly sipping coconut milk and eating cake.

It wasn't long before three entire plates of snacks had been completely annihilated.

"No, no, no! Yoshinon is scared of the water!"

"Mmm, it's okay. Just a little bit."

Yoshino, her face beet red, slowly lowered herself into the steaming water until only her small head and the rabbit puppet were visible.

Noticing Kotori wrapped up to her neck in a towel, Natsumi tilted her head. "Kotori, is that really how you're supposed to enjoy a hot spring?"

As she spoke, a brilliant, holy light enveloped her. When it faded, her small, childlike form had been replaced by that of a mature, voluptuous woman.

"See?" Natsumi said with a grin, consciously puffing out her chest. "Isn't it more comfortable to be a little more… proud?"

"Hmph. What's there to be so proud of?"

Kotori shot a disdainful glance at Natsumi's impressive, bouncing assets and turned away, a wave of irritation washing over her.

'It's just a transformation,' she told herself. 'It's all an illusion. It's nothing.'

'Don't worry,' she chanted internally. 'I'm only sixteen. I can still grow. I can still grow. I can still grow.'

But as her gaze swept across the spring, a crushing despair set in. Every single girl here was bigger than her. It was a veritable landscape of rolling hills and towering peaks of all shapes and sizes. And next to them, she was nothing more than a tiny molehill.

This was hell. This world of giant chests was hell.

Then, a glimmer of hope. In the distance, she saw Nia and Yoshino. A wave of relief washed over her.

'Okay, good. I'm not the smallest. At least that old hag Nia is smaller than me!'

Nia, noticing Kotori's stare and the subsequent smug smile, knew exactly what she was thinking. 'I'm proud of my flat chest! It's not like I'm eating your food… wait, I am eating her food. Damn it! It's not my fault I'm flat! I want a body like Tohka's too! Damn this big-boobed world! I'll create a world of flat chests…'

She viciously bit down on her straw, glaring daggers at all the well-endowed women around her. After a while, she looked up from her phone.

"Hey everyone, I think I found an interesting local legend."

All eyes turned to Nia.

Seeing she had their attention, Nia continued. "It says here that this hot spring was created when a meteor fell from the sky, so it's blessed by the Gods. The first person to see their loved one after getting out will receive the Gods' blessing and be with them forever."

A beat of silence fell.

Kurumi: "My, my. What a ridiculous legend."

Origami: "Indeed. It's completely unscientific."

Yoshino: "Mmm. Yoshinon doesn't believe it either."

Kotori: "It's obviously just a gimmick to attract tourists."

Natsumi: "No sane person would believe that. Right, Miku?"

Miku: "Haha! Of course not!"

Kaguya: "Kukuku! What kind of idiot would believe some baseless myth?"

Mayuri: "If legends could come true, they wouldn't be legends."

Sawa: "I don't believe it either. What about you, Shiori?"

Shiori and Mana exchanged a look, then said in unison, "Of course not. Who would believe some unscientific superstition? Only a complete moron!"

After everyone had voiced their vehement disbelief, the spring fell completely silent, the only sound the gentle lapping of water.

Suddenly, Kotori noticed a figure rising from the water. "Origami," she asked with a sly smile, "where are you going?"

"I've had a lot to drink," Origami replied, her face a perfect mask of indifference. "I'm just going to the restroom."

"But…" Tohka pointed in the opposite direction, a confused look on her face. "Isn't the restroom that way?"

At her words, all the girls simultaneously lowered their heads, strange, knowing smiles on their faces.

The next moment, with a collective SPLASH, every single girl shot up out of the water. They grabbed their yukatas and sprinted out of the bath, all heading in the same direction: toward the men's side.

Origami, who had clearly been planning this, was in the lead.

Yuzuru, her self-proclaimed student, was right behind her, followed by a pack consisting of Natsumi, Kaguya, Mayuri, Miku, and Mukuro.

Yoshino, riding on an enlarged Yoshinon, brought up the rear.

Tohka had been too slow to react and was left in the dust. As for Ellen the klutz and Reine the narcoleptic… they were, predictably, left behind.

"You might as well give up," Origami called back over her shoulder, her voice cold and merciless. "By any logic, I should be the first!"

"Objection!" Yuzuru shouted. "Even if it is you, Master Origami, I will not yield!"

"The first one to see Darling should be me!"

"Sorry, everyone, but for Brother's sake, Yoshino won't back down!"

Riding on the giant puppet, Yoshino unleashed a blast of icy mist, not at the other girls, but at the corridor in front of them, instantly creating a thick wall of ice.

"The path is blocked!" Google seaʀᴄh 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩

The other Spirits immediately summoned their Angels and began to attack the wall.

Of course, some with more versatile abilities were quickly neutralized.

Mukuro, for example, attempted to use her Angel, Michael, to open a gate directly to my hot spring, only to be immediately ganged up on by Kaguya and Miku.

"Hmph! Don't even think about getting ahead of the child of the storm!"

Between the hurricane-force winds and sonic blasts, Mukuro was completely pinned down.

Meanwhile, under a relentless assault of swords and energy cannons, the ice wall shattered.

The final sprint had begun.
