15 Chapter 15: The Tranquility of a Hotspring

"Armin Arlert?" An ethereal and beautiful voice spoke, making Armin raise his head.

He could feel the vibrance of the being before him, the pale skinned nude woman, her long white hair attracting his gaze for a moment.

Her eyes glowed with a purple tint, and the way her hair was tied up messily was oddly attracting.

"W-Who are you?" Armin spoke through awe and tears.

"Me?" The woman spoke, seemingly taking the question into serious consideration for a moment.

She stuck her hand out towards him, a small but welcoming smile appearing on her face.

"Perhaps I am your savior? Perhaps I am your god… Perhaps, I am your freedom." With those words, Armin's eyes flashed for a moment.

His freedom?

He didn't know why, but the words this woman spoke seemed to be truly believable.

Could this lady free him from the torment of the titans? Could she be his way out? Could she give him a life of purpose?…

"My freedom?" He muttered, tears still streaming down his face.

"What about Eren! What about Mikasa?! Where even am I? What is this place?" He bombarded the woman with questions, watching as she held her bright expression.

"You'll have your answers in due time. As for now, just know I am capable of many miracles, and many disasters." Her hand reached his, lightly grasping it and helping the fearful boy to his feet.

"Living under me may be the best moments of your life." She smiled, making Armin feel a little better.

Her aura was unbelievably calming.

…

…

…

Both Lust and Armin sat within a small pool of water, steam rising from the surface.

"So… may you be willing to tell me your name at the least?" Armin shyly asked, hiding everything below his lips under the water.

"Hmm… You may call me Elle, or Lust, either works." The same heavenly beauty from before sat beside Armin, not caring anywhere near as much about concealing her nude body.

Though it made sense as she had been nude from the moment to two met.

Lust had led Armin into a secluded and relatively hard to find area within the 1st floor. A large hot spring, filled with many gaseous emotions that none would be able to notice.

With the emotions of lust, trust, and tranquility amidst others, it would be easy for the two to talk, and even partake in other actions.

"So, Armin Arlert. Now that you've entered my humble abode, you belong to me, and I'm responsible for you now as you are my person." The woman said, Armin glancing to his side, getting a quick look at the beauty as she played with the water.

"I know nearly everything there is to know about you, and quite frankly I think you're a pretty boy. So I'm willing to fulfill your wishes." She said, catching Armin even more off guard, causing him to blush as he sunk beneath the water.

He blew bubbles with his mouth as he nervously listened to the woman, or Elle, as he would call her.

"Now that we are having a relaxing time , what is it that you wish to know? What would you like to request of me?" Armin could feel the shift in the water, Lust getting closer, her hand reaching for his.

"Speak." She said, Armin feeling forced to comply.

"W-Well… where are we?" He asked nervously, his head sinking back beneath the water after he finished.

"Hmm… That's hard to explain." She said.

"In simplest terms… this is my home! I live here, I rule this place, and I am its lord."

"I guess you could say this place is…. It's my labyrinth!" She let go of Armin's hand, raising her arms up as if to showcase the space around them.

The room was silent for a few moments as Armin only stared in awe.

"Next question." She said, Armin snapping back to reality.

"You said you're my freedom… My god… You said you could do anything. Can you give my friends freedom too?" Armin asked, a seriousness laced within his eyes.

Lust smiled, Armin noticing and quickly returning to his timid self.

"Hm

"As in Eren? Mikasa? Annie? Yes, of course." She chuckled, Armin's eyes lighting up for a moment.

He hadn't mentioned Annie before had he?

"The place you come from has many people i'm interested in…" She finished, Armin doing his best to understand the person before him.

'She already knew my name and I hadn't even told her?…' He thought, ignoring the anomaly.

"What about everyone else? The titans, we have to do something!" He exclaimed, thinking about Eren's fiery rage for the colossal beasts.

"We do not have to do anything. But they can be dealt with." The woman said, reeling herself in as she dipped her long hair in the water.

"Dealt with?.." Armin questioned under his breath.

"Correct."

She dipped under the water, causing Armin to look over where she had previously been.

She resurfaced only a second later, directly in front of him, bringing her face close to his.

He was completely stunned and wide open

She leaned in and the two kissed, Armin's mind steaming and he was caught completely off guard.

"Mmh~" She hummed after backing away from his, a small blush on her face making her seem almost intoxicated.

"Expect more where that came from." She said, her hand feeling on Armin's chin, her thumb touching his lip.

She swiftly backed away, standing up and letting the water fall off of her.

Well… her?

She stood directly in front of Armin, completely nude, her crotch in his face.

"You're?…" Armin stuttered his face fully flushed.

"A boy?" The femboy spoke, leaving the hot spring and letting his soft pink soles touch down on the stone floor.

"I am indeed. Is that your final question?" He turned back, making eye contact with the confused Armin.

A smile grew on his face, turning away and walking towards a wall of the room, a rack with towels magically manifesting.

His plump ass kept Armin's gaze on him, barely able to process anything that was happening to him.

"Are you getting out? Would you like a towel?" He once again turned around, a mischievous smile on his face.

"U-Uh… Yes!…?"
