In Academy City, the Paradise Project begins.

"What kind of person does Higashino-senpai like...?"

Chun Shang Jinyi asked softly. She was petite, and after unbuttoning her yukata, she appeared even more delicate.

She has a slender figure and a youthful innocence. The bath towel wrapped around her body looks a little loose, but her pure temperament has a unique charm.

"Sigh, I've heard that a woman is considered a proper woman if she can't see her toes when she looks down, but I am..."

She looked down at herself and could see the whole thing at a glance.

"Don't worry too much, Chun Shang! We still have time!"

Chu Chun Shiri quickly comforted her, and she wrapped herself in a bath towel. Although she was wrapped up tightly, her petite figure and snow-white skin were still eye-catching.

"Besides, Yu-kun said he likes each of us as we are. If you have any ideas, then go for it!"

"That's it!"

Saten Ruiko walked over, putting one arm around Hatsuharu's shoulder and the other around Kokoro's arm.

“We are all unique! That greedy Yu-kun, isn't he just into all the different versions of us? Right, Kuroko?”

She glanced at Shirai Kuroko with a mischievous look.

"Humph!"

Hei Zi turned his head away, but his ears turned red.

"That ape... its taste is... passable, I guess."

She muttered to herself, subconsciously puffing out her chest. That day, Higashino didn't seem to care too much about the size, even saying things like "small is cute too."

"Then I'll go there first."

Runzi clapped her hands; her hair was already styled, and she was ready to be the first to step into the battlefield.

The wooden sliding door was gently pulled open a crack. Junko Homikaze, wrapped in a clean white bath towel, walked in cautiously with her head down.

She glanced quickly at Higashino Yu in the pool, her cheeks as red as ripe apples. She practically shuffled to the edge of the pool, turned her back to Higashino, and very slowly, little by little, slid into the water, burying herself deep in it, with only her head and shoulders showing.

Although she could barely maintain her composure while changing her bath towel, she couldn't help but feel nervous and shy when she actually walked in and faced Higashino.

"Runzi, is the water temperature still suitable?"

Higashino Yu's voice came through with a smile.

"Mmm...it feels so good, Higashino-kun..."

Runzi didn't dare turn around, afraid that Higashino would come over and do something strange to her without considering the situation.

Despite the tight schedule, this wasn't the first time Higashino had used his seemingly irrational ability to control time.

One second is enough for him to do a lot of things.

Fortunately, just when she was extremely nervous, the door was opened again.

Chu Chun Shiri and Chun Shang Jinyi walked in, supporting each other.

Even in early spring, she was wrapped in a bath towel, the white towel making her skin appear even whiter.

Chun Shang Jinyi appeared somewhat clumsy, as the bath towel seemed to be wrapped rather loosely, and she kept adjusting its tightness after entering, allowing Dongye to see many harmonious positions.

Seeing Runzi with only her head sticking out of the water, the two of them blushed and followed her example, sliding into the water along the edge, only daring to show half of their faces.

"In early spring, wearing a collared shirt, be careful not to slip."

Higashino Yu reminded him.

"No way, Yu, we're not idiots! But it's so warm... it feels like all the fatigue from walking all day has disappeared."

Chu Chun revealed a lazy expression, squinting her eyes as she enjoyed herself.

"Yes, it's been a long time since I've been to a hot spring. It's so relaxing."

Chun Shang Jinyi also showed a relaxed expression, and her shyness had subsided considerably.

Then, Saten Ruiko and Shirai Kuroko came in. Ruiko, wrapped casually in a bath towel, walked around curiously, saying, "Wow, the environment is really nice! It's just that the hot spring is a bit small."

Shirai Kuroko appeared much more wary, her dark brown bath towel wrapped tightly around her, her twin ponytails loose and casually draped over her shoulders. Her gaze occasionally swept over Higashino Yu in the pool, carrying a complex emotion.

The two quickly went into the water, and Ruizi even let out a comfortable sigh.

Finally, the sliding door was suddenly pulled open, and Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki walked in almost side by side.

Mikoto was wrapped in a bath towel, her cheeks still flushed, her eyes darting around.

Misaki Shokuhou's honey-colored long hair was casually tied up, revealing her graceful swan neck. A white bath towel was wrapped around her body, perfectly outlining her voluptuous figure that "didn't look like a middle school student."

The two exchanged a glance, snorted softly, found a spot, and slid into the water, only their shoulders and heads showing.

The hot spring water smooths the skin like silk, and even the misty steam cannot completely conceal the alluring curves that are faintly visible beneath the water.

Higashino Yu was dazzled by the sight, and his heart raced involuntarily.

The pool water was warm and quiet, with only the soft sound of flowing water and the suppressed breathing of the girls, creating a subtly awkward and shy atmosphere.

Higashino Yu cleared his throat, breaking the silence: "Ahem, well... soaking in a hot spring is boring if you just sit there. I think everyone's looking pretty bored with their backs to me. How about..."

He flashed an incredibly "sincere" smile and gestured with his hand.

"Shall I give you a back rub? I guarantee professional technique, just the right amount of pressure, and top-notch fatigue relief!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a chorus of gasps erupted from the pool.

A back scrub?! That's way more daring than a shared bath!

However, just as the girls were beginning to feel a strong sense of resistance, a faint silver glint flashed in Higashino Yu's eyes once again.

Almost as soon as the silver light disappeared, the girls' resistance vanished like a thin mist under the sunlight.

Instead, there is a vague sense of agreement that says, "It seems...that makes some sense?"

The shyness was still there, but the strong feeling of "no" had disappeared.

Chapter 218 Having women on both sides is also a kind of trouble.

"Hmph... Since Higashino-kun is so enthusiastic, I'll reluctantly experience your 'professional techniques'."

Misaki Shokuhou was the first to speak, turning slightly to the side, removing her yukata, and turning her smooth, white back towards Higashino Yu.

"But you're not allowed to do anything unnecessary."

Her "leading role" had a huge effect, and soon the others also put aside their shyness.

"Well... I'll give it a try too."

Saten Ruiko was the second to respond immediately, imitating Shokuhou by covering her chest with her yukata and turning her back to Higashino.

Haruto Shiori whispered, "Then... thank you for your trouble, Yu-kun."

Slowly turn around.

"I...I'm also asking for your help, senior!"

Haruka Koi was extremely nervous. She hadn't expected that her senior, whom she had only just met, would want to rub her back. But the atmosphere was already there, and she wasn't particularly resistant, so she silently followed everyone else and turned her smooth back towards Higashino.

Without hesitation, Junko turned around obediently, revealing her beautifully shaped back to Yuu Higashino. After all, they'd already done some pretty outrageous things; this was still acceptable to her.

Shirai Kuroko hesitated, glancing at Misaka Mikoto, who blushed and struggled with her decision. But seeing everyone turn away one by one… she finally gave an extremely awkward snort: “Whatever… whatever you want! But you’re not allowed to look anywhere else!”

Then he turned around quickly, his shoulders trembling slightly.

Following Mikoto, Kuroko also turned her back to Higashino.

Higashino Yu chuckled inwardly. With water so clear that even without him looking, the underwater scenery was already completely visible.

He picked up the soft towel and soap prepared by the pool and went to stand behind Misaki Shokuhou.

Skin moisturized by warm spring water becomes delicate and smooth, like the finest mutton fat jade, delicate and smooth.

Higashino Yu's fingers gently touched the towel, massaging with just the right amount of pressure.

Misaki narrowed her eyes slightly and let out an extremely soft, comfortable hum.

Just as Higashino said, his technique was really professional, which gradually relaxed her tense nerves.

"How's that force?"

Higashino found himself unable to resist touching Misaki Shokuhou's skin. He thought that if the location weren't so inconvenient, simply eating the queen would be a good option.

He was also really looking forward to the queen bee's honey!

"Careless...and don't just go forward like that, you idiot!"

"I'm sorry, but it's all beyond our control."

Who would actually behave themselves in a situation like this? Higashino felt he had already been very restrained.

Next came the tears.

Higashino Yu could feel the girl's firm and elastic muscles on her back, as well as her slight trembling.

"Relax your shoulders a bit, let me massage them for you."

"Um, thank you! Wait... wait... where do I not need a massage..."

"No problem, if you want to relax, you need to do it in all aspects."

But tears are so sensitive...

Then comes early spring.

Her petite body had an incredibly delicate feel, and Higashino Yu's movements were exceptionally gentle.

"Hmm... Yu-kun, you must have learned this somewhere, it's really effective!"

"No, not at all. Today is actually the first time."

He doesn't need to learn a lot of knowledge; he just needs to let his body perceive it, and he will learn it naturally.

When it was Chun Shang Jin Yi's turn, she seemed completely immersed in the comfort of being served, and was made dizzy by Dong Ye's skillful techniques. In the end, she even made a soft moaning sound, which made Dong Ye Yu laugh out loud.

Junko Hokaze's back was smooth and strong, and Higashino Yu knew every inch of her body like the back of his hand. In fact, because everyone was facing away from him, no one noticed that their bodies were pressed together so tightly.

However, he didn't intend to bully Runzi at this moment. After finishing the back-rubbing and massage task, it was the next girl's turn.

When Higashino Yu's hand landed on Misaka Mikoto's back, she instantly froze like a stone.

"Relax... relax, Mikoto."

Higashino Yu said helplessly in a low voice, his fingers gently massaging her stiff shoulders and neck. Under his patient massage, Mikoto's tense body finally softened little by little.

However, as it was nearing the end, he muttered, "Don't get so close, you idiot, you're all poking me!" If Higashino hadn't deliberately controlled the spread of his voice, the others might have already turned around.

Finally, there's Shirai Kuroko. She seems quite relaxed, and since her older sister noticed, she's actually more at ease now.

She even leaned back a little and rubbed against him while he was massaging her.

After Higashino Yu finished scrubbing Kuroko's back, he was exhausted himself. He only managed to avoid turning into a beast on the spot thanks to his strong self-control; Kuroko was unexpectedly good at stirring up trouble.

But after working so hard for so long, I should at least get some benefits.

It's unclear whose towel tie came loose first, but then, like a chain reaction, with a few soft "plop" sounds, the towels on the girls' bodies turned into specks of light and disappeared one after another!

"ah?"

"Ah! What's going on?"

"Oops! Oops!"

"My bath towel!"

The girls gasped almost simultaneously! Instinctively, they crossed their arms over their chests and shoved themselves into the water, leaving only their flushed little heads above the surface. They looked at each other in panic, feeling both ashamed and anxious, wishing they could disappear into the ground.

Under the moonlight, seven blushing and delicate faces floated on the water, a breathtaking sight.

Moreover, the hot spring water was crystal clear, and the mist that should have been there had disappeared without a trace. Higashino had no choice but to keep his eyes wide open and look around to avoid any unexpected situations.

"Higashino-kun, this is really...unexpected, isn't it?"

Misaki Shokuhou's voice trembled slightly as she tried to remain calm, but her flushed ears betrayed her wavering heart.

She glared at Higashino with great dissatisfaction, but given the current situation and her expression, it seemed as if she was being coquettish.

"Higashino Yu! What are you doing! Quickly change everyone back!"
