If there was one universal enemy that every Neko had, then it was without a doubt water. Whether it was a Domestic Neko or a Wild Neko, water was one of the Neko's greatest nightmares, so when Y'shtola discovered the location of a certain request she felt her body tense up entirely, even the hairs on her tail stood upright. Walking into the bathhouse a young woman was seated behind the counter at the entrance, and upon noticing the parchment in her hand the lady's lips quickly curved into a bright smile.

"Welcome~ Welcome my dear, have you come to help me with the request I posted?" This must have been Bella, the owner of the bathhouse. Nodding her head quickly it was clear that she wanted to go straight down to business so she could leave the baths as quickly as possible, preferred with as much distance between herself and the water as possible.

"Here is the box with the aforementioned fliers my dear~ Just hang it up on the locations I included on the note inside the box while also distributing the fliers to anyone who might seem interested. Simple right?"

Seemingly determined to leave as soon as possible she nodded her head and took a hold of the box, turning around and marching away from the bathhouse as quickly as possible.

It appeared the first destination as she was handing out fliers across the streets was the park near the South Gate, a short glimpse around the area revealing there was, in fact, a large bulletin board, a perfect spot for her to hang up the flier. However, after hanging up the flier she noticed plenty of them were still waiting to be sold, and so the young lady decided to venture toward the next collection of streets and soon toward the next stop.

This stop, in particular, seemed to be the large Guild Hall belonging to Fairy Tail, an organization that seemingly did requests similar to the ones she was doing, but on a much larger scale. Making sure she had picked a location that was pretty visible she left the building behind and spotted the fact only a few fliers were left.

The final destination mentioned in the note was a place she was familiar with: the place Olly sold his delicious cakes at. She could imagine with the amount of business he had the flier would surely draw some attention. By the time she had finally returned to the bathhouse Y'shtola found herself with an empty box, the sight of it clearly satisfying the owner of the bathhouse. "You were able to give away all the fliers? Amazing! A good girl who delivers such good work deserves a bonus on top of her payment~"

Wait, a bonus?! Was she about to receive some extra jewels or some rare item? Bella smiled gently at her as she gestured for the girl to follow, gently nudging her along deeper into the building while the Wild Neko was blissfully unaware... she was about to walk straight into a hell...

She should have caught the signals already, being guided into a room where the lights were out, the closing of the door behind her and the moment the lights turned on... she found herself at a hot spring? "W-Wait a moment, when you mean an extra reward you mean---"

Bella smiled gleefully, clapping her hands together while announcing in a playful tone. "A special bath that uses special mana-enriching herbs! It will surely make you feel more energetic than ever. And to make it even better I'll help you wash yourself all clean~"

Oh hell no! SHE WASN'T GOING TO TAKE A BATH! "I think I'll decline---" Yet Bella's eerie smile seemed to suggest that a decline was out of the question. "I insist~ hard work deserves to be rewarded~" Trying to swiftly sidestep past the lady she was about to reach for the door but found it to be locked! "Oh gods no---"

Before she even realized it a hand had already slipped toward her back and removed her chest guard, making the poor Neko turn around to protest loudly. "Hey! What do you think you---" Gods what was wrong with this woman? the speed she moved at, the dexterity of her motions was on par with a Wild Neko and the strength she restrained her at was inhuman!

And to make matters worse she soon found herself stripped off her clothes and dragged toward the water. "OH HELL NO! NONONONONONONO!" Flailing in a panic the Wild Neko was screaming like a pig that was about to be put on the spit, just the feeling of the water rushing along her feet was enough to send shivers across her entire body while at the same time Bella continued to pull more of her body into the pool. "Don't be shy my dear~" "I'M NOT BEING SHY!!!!"

Yelling out in protest as most of her lower-body was already submerged into the pool Y'shtola's claws scrapped over the floor as she desperately tried to escape. "SOMEONE SAVE ME!!!!" Tears ran down her cheeks as Bella finally gave her a final tug, her claws coming loose from the edge of the bath as the poor Neko was pulled entirely into the water, upon which by the time she emerged at the surface she had clearly fainted...

"Oh mai~ was I too passionate about my desire to wash a cute Neko? Or did I forget something about Neko..."

What happened afterward seemed like a blur, and while the same evening she woke up properly dressed and her body feeling invigorated, poor Y'shtola had been traumatized of the bathhouse, darting off as quickly as she could before Bella could even check in on her.

"I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE BATHS!!!"

Was all that one could hear as the Neko darted out of the bathhouse and tried to make her escape before the wet nightmare could continue... Sure she had been rewarded for her job, but this was simply way too traumatized for the poor kitty... Now she needed to visit a psychologist...
