Mixed Bathing and Athena's Grasp
“Ooh Jesus. I didn’t think there’d be much difference since she never bothered covering up anyway, but this foolish mortal repents. So there really is a heaven beyond heaven.”
The tomboyish girl had been complaining about the heat and making a fuss, but the figure standing naked before me was no longer a bratty tomboy or a kid. She was a female. A female I wanted to ravage as a man, to pin down right now, thrust my cock into, and make scream in ecstasy.
“I’m not hot at all. So why are you going into the lake to bathe? You go in alone, Athena. I’ll wait here.”
Faced with a beauty that transcended this world, the old me would have turned bright red and stammered. But the current Geum Taeyang possessed a peerlessly handsome face and a body worthy of being called a sculpture, matching Athena’s own beauty. On top of that, I was a barbarian half-blood with the boldness of a Casanova. So, contrary to the lust raging in my heart, I kept a perfectly calm expression and maintained my pace.
“Tch. You’re making such a big deal just because you’re a human half-blood. I don’t even like how your skin is whiter than mine, you damn man…”
And I already knew this attitude would work. Athena had always gotten riled up by it since we were kids and thrown even bigger tantrums. Just like now.
My Casanova trait and innate intuition screamed that this kind of push-and-pull was exactly how to handle a wild filly like Athena.
“So you’re saying you’re going to show up at the village looking like that in front of the chieftain and the Great Mother? The blood on your clothes can’t be helped, but the blood on your body should be washed off, right?”
Refusing to lose, and no longer the fool who only blushed and got lectured one-sidedly, the Athena who had grown quite a bit over three years countered with a fairly logical argument.
“Hmm… I guess you’re right? It’s been three years since I came back, so that would be a bit much.”
I was convinced. Barbarians might not care much about a little blood, but even here there were superstitions and etiquette. No one would welcome a guest or friend covered in blood after such a long time.
“Then I’ll go in first, so hurry up and strip before coming in.”
Thud thud thud thud thud!
The moment I changed my mind, Athena dashed toward the lake with that dangerously seductive naked body, looking completely carefree.
She’s just like when we were kids. Back then we used to bathe in Cargo Lake almost every single day.
The barbarian tribe, not just the Mohican clan, was quite open about nudity. Of course, that didn’t mean their chastity was loose or that they were a bunch of perverts. Their clothing was so minimal that they were free with nudity, and bathing together in public with close people was perfectly normal for both children and adults.
If I were to be more blunt, the same went for sex. At night, moans echoed from tents all over the village, and barbarian couples could often be seen having outdoor sex in secluded spots without caring about others.
So Athena and I used to play all over the forest as kids and always washed together in Cargo Lake before returning to the village.
She got shy during puberty, but now that she’s an adult, has she gotten over it?
But that was a story from our really young days. During puberty, and until I left, we never bathed together in Cargo Lake. The reason was Athena. Unlike most open-minded barbarian women, she had trouble accepting the changes of secondary sexual characteristics. Still, around the time I was leaving, she seemed to be getting better little by little. And now, it was clearly different from back then.
Launch preparations complete. I’m looking forward to this.
I also finished stripping completely naked. Possessing a body and ending up in mixed bathing with the opposite sex right after transmigrating. I love R-19 mode.
“Whew! I feel alive now. Whew, so refreshing!”
When I slowly entered the lake, Athena was splashing water over herself noisily.
“You came in? See! It’s cool and nice, right?”
As I approached to about five meters while watching her, Athena sensed my presence and turned around.
Oh fuck!
Seeing Athena after she turned, I, Geum Taeyang, nearly let out a real-time curse of admiration as every rational control, Casanova trait and all, short-circuited.
“It’s really been a while since we bathed together. We used to play here every single day when we were kids.”
Grin…!
Breasts! Pussy! Breasts! Pussy! Breasts! Pussy! Breasts! Pussy! Breasts! Pussy!
Until just moments ago, I had only seen Athena’s naked back. She had taken off her clothes with her back turned and entered the lake water like that to wash. In other words, when Athena turned around after I approached, I was finally witnessing the full frontal view of the mature female Athena whose secondary sexual characteristics had fully developed.
Her massive 75G-cup breasts with firm pink nipples, and her virgin pussy covered in wild, untamed barbarian-woman pubic hair. Her face smiled innocently at her childhood friend, but my mind was completely filled with the primal words “breasts” and “pussy.”
“Damn it! The height difference is too unfair! When we were kids our eye levels were similar so I almost always won! Go easy on me, Geum Taeyang! The water’s getting in my ears!”
“Is that something the future pillar of the Gaia Tribe, Tesadar, should be saying? This is still a battle. Endure and overcome it, Athena. Don’t act weak in front of the enemy.”
Even so, we returned to our childish selves for a moment. Like Adam and Eve at the beginning of time. Forgetting about bathing, we started playing in the water. Two men and women with bodies that screamed sex were only splashing water at each other and shouting encouragement, but it was fine. My eyes were pleased, and I could feel a warm feeling in my heart.
“Wow~ You trained hard. I thought you’d gotten weak since you were supposed to be on the academic research side rather than combat.”
After enjoying our childishness for about forty minutes, we moved on to the original purpose: bathing. Following the plan of washing our fronts ourselves first and then helping each other with our backs, Athena soon began scrubbing my broad back here and there with her hands. She couldn’t hide her surprise at the strong, firm, masculine back muscles of this Geum Taeyang.
“Even for academic research, you have to exceed the standard to graduate. So I worked hard on both and ended up graduating with honors.”
As empires and kingdoms flourished and sought trade goods, merchants’ footsteps increased even here in Galatea. The Mohican tribes had initially taken an exclusive stance toward them, but at some point they sensed the flow of the times and tried to find ways to adapt. Among them, the Gaia Tribe leadership mainly agreed to create one solid internal intellectual, and the person chosen was me, a human half-blood.
I applied for an academy curriculum with a 6:4 academic-to-martial ratio, took the entrance exam, and entered the Darmina Imperial Academy. Whether because I had talent or not, I was able to complete both with excellent grades.
“How’s the outside world? As you know, the only places I’ve been are small human villages around Galatea that I visited holding my mother’s hand when I was little.”
At that moment, Athena asked about my experiences in the outside world. Barbarian women, especially Mohican women, despite their warrior-like appearance, had strong community consciousness and tended to focus inward. Unless on a special mission, it was normal for them to never leave the barbarian territories in their lifetime. However, Athena, who was ambitious enough to aim for the Tesadar position, seemed to have some curiosity about civilized society.
“It’s complicated. Flashy. And changes quickly.”
Watching the sun of the otherworld Pieta, which had risen to mid-heaven, slowly move westward, I answered Athena’s question in a low voice.
“Above all, it’s brutal. Everyone’s sharp about profit. They call us barbarians, but when you see people betraying those close to them, you wonder who the real barbarians are.”
After her question, my negative image of civilization poured out. I didn’t do it on purpose, but I really had nothing good to say. Honestly, from my perspective, the barbarian world was much better.
“Hey, don’t say things like that. That’s the kind of thing barbarian kids hear over and over so they won’t go outside.”
But Athena, who had only lived in the barbarian world, didn’t seem to relate much.
“I heard civilized women put strange powder on their faces and spray scents that bewitch people…”
Athena’s voice became somewhat timid as she mentioned cosmetics and perfume. She had probably heard it from outside merchants who came and went from the Gaia Tribe.
“Cosmetics and perfume? Are you interested in that kind of thing, Athena? That’s unexpected.”
“No, it’s not that I’m interested, it’s just that’s all I’ve heard~!”
As expected, now that she had become an adult and developed an interest in femininity, she was starting to accept the changes of secondary sexual characteristics. I touched on it indirectly, and the tomboyish female Athena, who didn’t want her psychological change to be discovered, reacted allergically.
“Almost all the women who come to the academy are nobles, and high-ranking ones at that, so they all wear makeup and spray perfume.”
“I-I see… So that’s how civilized people live…”
Currently, there was only one academy on the Pangea continent: the Darmina Imperial Academy. Some large kingdoms used the name “academy” for their educational institutions, but they weren’t recognized. The Imperial Academy held absolute authority, and it was where all the continent’s most talented individuals gathered. This world also had a structure where outstanding talents continued to emerge from successful families, and about 95% of the Imperial Academy was composed of children from high-ranking nobles who inherited top-tier visions.
Then how did I get in? A policy similar to a rural quota system had just been implemented.
“But even that kind of thing is stimulating at first but doesn’t last long.”
“What do you mean by that?”
After sufficient buildup, I finally said what I really wanted to tell Athena.
“I liked my mother’s plain face the most after she came back from hunting when I was young, and the scent of her skin when she lay next to me while sleeping. Even though fourteen years have passed, I still remember it now.”
I believed that what made a woman most beautiful and fragrant was sincere love. It was because of my mother’s pure maternal love as a barbarian woman that those turbulent past years remained as memories filled with happiness rather than just misfortune.
“S-so that’s what you meant… Then wash my back now. We should wash up quickly and go to the village.”
Splash! Splash! Splash!
Seeing Athena’s voice trail off long, it seemed my sincere yet mischievous words had worked. Perhaps because of that, she started acting coy.
Although I was supposed to wash Athena’s back next, she moved right in front of me as if emphasizing it and urged me on.
Whoa…! Her skin is way too soft…
And that coyness was a blessing. Athena’s skin was so soft and moist that it violated my sense of touch. There was no greater scam than this. Not only was it strong like a barbarian woman, but it was also elastic and not rough at all—instead, it was incredibly soft! Damn… This really is another world. This is only possible because it’s another world.
Moreover, as if to prove they were a race that called for sex, the moment the smell of sweat disappeared, the unique pheromone scent of a barbarian woman rose up.
“No, not there. Just wash my back. There’s no need for your hand to go to my butt.”
So in the end, in this kind of mixed bathing situation between a man and a woman, if the female’s charm vibrated more than necessary, an unexpected accident was bound to happen. And that accident was definitely not my fault.
“Aish~! Stop with the butt! That part was in the water the whole time, so there’s no reason to wash it.”
Athena had been showing a pleasant reaction while savoring my hands washing her back, but she started whining because something kept getting caught on her plump 42-inch butt.
“You’re making me use my hands on purpose! I said the butt is enough!”
Whoosh! Squeeze!
No matter how much she whined, since that something refused to retreat from her butt, Athena eventually reached back with her own hand and grabbed the mysterious part of my body.
“Sorry, that wasn’t my hand.”
What filled Athena’s palm was naturally not my hand. My hands had been busy feeling her back.
“Th-this is…”
Athena froze on the spot.
“Yeah, it’s my cock.”
The bold giant beast captured in her hand was my fully erect penis.
