Actually, Cascia has been wide awake the whole time.

Even though she was very tired, her father had just yawned and hurriedly urged her to go to bed.

And that person had only been at the house during the day, could it be that her father was...?

With such concerns, Cascia had her suspicions.

Sure enough, Cascia's guess was correct. She pretended to sleep for a while, and her father quietly opened the door, looked around cautiously, and left.

Heh, tonight she would catch them in the act.

Cascia laughed coldly a few times and then reached under her pillow to find her own dagger.

"Oh, father," Cascia grinned, "if you betray me, I won't be polite."

The moonlight tonight was beautiful. The entire slope behind her was visible, and Cascia was familiar with the surroundings. She went up from the other side where the vegetation was denser and watched as Abbott entered the forest above.

Oh, so they chose the hot springs as their meeting place.

That was the only suitable location, as there was no flat ground nearby.

At the same time, Cascia suddenly realized with shock that these two people were going to bathe together!

Two naked bodies, and Katarina...

Cascia tightened her fist.

Hmm, looks like I'm going to lose my father tonight.

Cascia nodded to herself.

Normally, her absent-minded father wouldn't be a problem, but in order to avoid being discovered, Cascia crawled on the ground slowly, like a cat.

Then, Cascia slowly sneaked into the vegetation surrounding the hot springs.

These plants were planted a long time ago, precisely to block the view from the outside.

But if someone were to hide within, it would also be an excellent hiding place.

Huh?

However, when the scene of the sparkling hot springs entered Cascia's vision, she froze in place.

Because inside the hot springs, the person bathing was not her father and Katarina, but a girl... a girl with long red hair, gazing at the starry sky with utmost delight.

This girl seemed to be only a year or two older than Cascia. Even her pupils had a crimson hue.

Ah... I clearly saw my father go in, why is this girl in the hot springs?

And as Cascia stared at the blushing girl's face, she couldn't help but be mesmerized.

Because the girl was incredibly beautiful.

Her soft shoulder-length hair floated elegantly, her delicate face and slender limbs, her curved collarbone, and her glossy fair skin were simply perfect!

Unbeknownst to Cascia, she had leaned forward.

Accidentally, she broke a twig.

The girl's reaction was quick, and she immediately looked towards the source of the sound.

"Who is it!"

Ah, she noticed.

But it's not a big deal, we're all just girls. Running away now would only cause misunderstanding.

Cascia thought this and ruffled her messy hair before standing up from the vegetation.

"Sorry," Cascia scratched her head, "I thought my father was here, I scared you, my apologies."

"Uh... uh?!"

However, the girl, who had a fierce look in her eyes after noticing being watched, suddenly showed obvious panic upon seeing Cascia. But Cascia, who was a bit oblivious, seemed not to notice.

"Hello," Cascia walked to the side of the red-haired girl, "Sorry to disturb you."

"Uh... uh, it's... it's fine," she said.

The red-haired girl remained anxious, covering her flat chest as if retreating.

"I thought my father was nearby," Cascia looked around again, "Is he gone to hunt rabbits?"

This hot spring leads to the deeper part of the dense forest, and her father does indeed enjoy hunting at night sometimes. After all, animals are not very wary at this time.

"Looks like I misunderstood my father," Cascia muttered softly to herself.Speaking of which, this nervous and flustered girl must be a traveler from outside the village, Shiloh. Everyone in the village knows each other, so how could we have missed such a pretty girl before?

"Are you from outside the village, Miss?" Cascia squatted down with curiosity and asked the girl.

"Ah, ah?" However, she seemed at a loss for words. "Y-yes, I am."

The redhead girl seemed like she wanted to get out of the hot spring, but at the same time, she seemed to have some serious worries that kept her immersed in the water.

"Hello, I'm Cascia," Cascia cheerfully grinned at the girl. "Nice to meet you."

After Cascia introduced herself, the expression on the redhead girl's face became even more stiff, as if she was desperately considering something.

"...Hello, Cascia little sister," the girl hesitantly shook her hand. "My...my name is Lisa."

For some reason, Lisa always seemed hesitant to speak her mind.

"Cascia little sister... could you possibly turn..."

But before Lisa could finish her sentence, Cascia suddenly took off her own dress!!!

Lisa widened her crimson eyes, let out a muffled "uh," and desperately covered her mouth, forcing herself not to scream.

"Well, I can't sleep anyway," Cascia said with a smile. "Let's just bathe together, sister."
