No Way This is Reality
Claudia opened her eyes, scanning her surroundings through hazy vision. The first thing that caught her eye was the light pink hair dangling from her chest, wriggling as if begging for affection. She chuckled at the adorable sight and lifted her hand, which had been submerged beneath the water. Though her mind was clearing, what fully snapped her out of that dreamlike daze was the clump of light pink hair tangled together right in front of her.
Asha's hair, which should have been perfectly clean after washing, was a total mess. Taking it in, Claudia racked her brain. She remembered soaking in the tub with her body throbbing intensely, but everything after that was fuzzy. There was no way Asha would normally cling to her chest and rub against her like this... Something had definitely happened.
Seeing Asha covered in that mottled, sticky fluid, Claudia vaguely pieced it together. And as if to confirm, a sharp ache pulsed in her lower body.
...How hard did I go?
The bathroom reeked of thick, masculine musk, thick enough to choke on. First things first... time to clean up.
Claudia peeled Asha's slender body away and lifted her. She was light. Staring at the fragile form twitching in response to the external stimulus, Claudia couldn't hide her fluster. Red handprints marred the soft breasts, as if someone had gripped them hard. A bit higher, and bite marks stood out vividly on her neck and shoulders. And from what was surely the most abused hole... milky fluid dripped, plip, plip, into the water. From both holes, even.
"Mm..."
Seeing the semen trickling out muddled Claudia's thoughts. As she carried Asha out of the tub, the other two stirred awake from the aftermath of their changes.
Veronica, upon waking, took one look at the scene and screamed.
"Kyaaah!"
...It was almost expected. Who wouldn't freak out seeing globs of sticky white semen dripping from both holes of a girl dangling in midair? Especially fresh awake and still disoriented.
Unlike Veronica, Cecil blinked a few times, sniffed the air, and approached Asha and Claudia. Tilting her head, she spoke.
"The scents are all mixed up so much... Cecil can't tell. Why is Sha'a-nim like that?"
Claudia felt a pang of awkwardness. How was she supposed to explain this to her innocent assistant? One thing was clear: spilling the truth wasn't her job.
...Meaning she'd shove it off on someone else.
"She soaked in the tub too long."
Cecil's eyes widened as she stared at Claudia.
"Is that so?"
"...Probably."
Claudia glanced over both of them as she replied. They were spotless. Unlike the mottled Asha. Before anyone noticed the difference, she decided to rewash Asha and moved.
"I'll handle cleanup, so take Veronica upstairs."
"What about Sha'a-nim?"
Cecil's eyes were fixed solely on Asha, as if nothing else existed. Claudia felt... something odd. Like if she spaced out, she'd miss her chance to get what she wanted.
Claudia's eyes met Cecil's in midair as she readjusted Asha, who was still dripping milky fluid from her hole, plip, plip. Veronica, watching from afar, felt that same strange vibe.
What the hell are they doing?
Having already brushed off her startled scream, Veronica had pieced things together. Unlike clueless Cecil, she had the knowledge. So who was responsible here? Distinguish by hair color...? She splashed out of the tub with those thoughts.
Asha's hole probably didn't have any of Veronica's seed dripping out now, but that didn't cross her mind. A tense atmosphere nearly filled the bathroom, but...
"Ahnt..."
Asha's heated moan snapped them out of it. With moving her as priority, the three tacitly agreed and sprang into action.

I had a dream. Nothing special. Waking in a soft bed, eating breakfast as usual, brewing potions... missing that leisure a bit, in my everyday routine. Sitting alone in the workshop, watching time drift by endlessly.
Things I'd taken for granted. Hands reaching the top shelf, solid stamina... little stuff like that.
The moment I thought something was off, the world smeared and blended like wet clay. The scenery and I started to melt together. Realizing it was a dream amid the surreal sight, my thick fingers thinned. My clear view was obscured by light pink hair.
The clothes wrapping my body thudded to the floor. A sudden gust made me shiver. Then someone embraced me from behind. Hands everywhere, it felt like─ and I woke.
My eyes snapped open to sunlight. Squinting, the dream faded, and memories from before sleep resurfaced. My body curled up.
...Is my body okay?
What lingered was hot water flooding my nose and mouth... being buried in Claudia's ample breasts... that merciless rod churning below....
I went through something insane.
Who could I even complain to? I still didn't fully get why it happened. Sure, my body heated up because of Cecil... but why did all three suddenly lose it? No clue.
Still, I was grateful to think straight again. Letting thoughts run wild was horrifying. Like brain cells burning, turning me into an idiot....
Don't wanna dwell on it.
Shaking my head, I looked around. Familiar bed. The nearly pushed-together beds were empty up top. Where'd everyone go?
Somehow, I'd gotten into the habit of checking for someone upon waking─ unlike before. Or maybe it was just the emptiness without that usual body heat.
Sunlight seeped through the window. Looked like... morning already.
...Gotta go downstairs. Got that delivery tomorrow.
Resolved, but mustering the will to move took guts. Past experience said it'd hurt like hell.
But when I tried... it was fine. Surprisingly. No agony as expected─ just a slight stiffness. Like the day after skipping training, blaming muscle soreness from intense exercise.
Throwing off the covers, feet hit the floor. Still... fine.
The clothes on me were a bit loose. Probably mine from before. A twinge of bitterness hit as I stood before the mirror... pristine. Like nothing happened.
Just some skin showing through the baggy fit─ no trace of that intense... thing flashing in my mind. Neck and shoulders Claudia and Veronica bit were spotless, no red marks.
...Maybe the comfy tub after so long lulled me to sleep unknowingly? Everything I "experienced" was an overly vivid dream. Right? No way it'd be real.
Getting crushed inside to climax? Way too unrealistic.
...But that'd mean I'm so pent-up I'd dream that. Better than the alternative, maybe.
Lost in pointless thoughts before the mirror, the door creaked open. Quick pattering footsteps approached. Then─ whoosh!─ arms wrapped around me. Soft sensation and familiar warmth.
"Asha-nim!"
Cecil. She nuzzled my face, clinging tight. The empty room suddenly felt cozy. Come to think─ potion effects worn off? No animal ears. Mine too.
So used to lacking them, I hadn't noticed.
"Cecil..."
Stroking her head amid the embrace, I glanced at the door. Veronica stood there, eyes red-rimmed.
"A-Asha!"
I gave an awkward smile, and she huffed over.
...Why's everyone so intense?
"Quit grinning! You lie in bed for three days straight and that's funny!?"
Veronica's shout froze me stiff. Three... days?
Incredulous, my hands shook.
"...Three days?"
"Yeah! Three days!"
As I trembled, Cecil clung harder. Veronica quieted, both looking worried.
Hit with the unbelievable truth, I despaired in a mutter.
"...Potion delivery."
"What?"
Veronica blinked dumbly.
"The potion delivery from yesterday... big order too... losses... compensation..."
"Is that what matters right now!?"
Bonked on the head by furious Veronica, my vision blurred.
"Huh? A-Asha?! W-What's wrong all sudden!?"
"V-Veronica-nim! What did you do!"
"I-I didn't hit that hard... N-No way, is she─"
I blacked out again.
Sometime later, waking in bed once more, I realized it wasn't a dream─ and made one resolve.
