Chapter 68 - Bath Problems

(Disclaimer: There's an 18+ scene in this chapter, I advised you)

Now in her room, Loki sighed

'I guess I have no other choice..'

Thinking about the first impressions that Ethan gave her, she had a small smile on her face. Even though it would've been easier for her to let the other Gods choose a name for him, she had his words still echoing in her mind.

'Doesn't he realize that having the opportunity to choose a name for himself is something that very few can achieve...? Now I have to think on a good name on his behalf'

Making up her mind to think about it, she had some ideas while changing in a much more formal dress than what she wears normally.

Looking in the mirror that showed her in that dress, she shook her head

'These kinds of dresses don't fit me at all, but I can't show myself in different ways..'

Like this, she undressed while throwing the first formal dress away. Seeing one who seemed less uncomfortable, he put it on without hesitation. Even though it was slightly better, it was still unsustainable for Loki.

'I'll have a long day..'

Thinking this, she undressed again while her research for a good and comfortable dress continued...

Now looking towards the ceiling while Ais was attached to him, sleeping peacefully, he remembered he had one last thing to do

["Light, can you wake me up right before 10PM if I'm still sleeping?"]

Without a reply, she made a timer appear in front of him. With a yawn, he closed his eyes..

After 3 hours, Ethan heard Light's voice calling him. Opening his eyes, he thanked her while he decided it was time to go and have a proper breakfast, together..

Shaking her arm slightly, she replied in a muffled voice that Ethan couldn't hear. Smiling, he saw her releasing his arm while getting up from the bed.

"Should we go have breakfast?"

Hearing this, she turned to look at him. With a 'smile', Ais nodded before he got up as well. Taking out his bathtub, Ethan added

"Then, do you prefer to bathe here, or in the public baths?"

Looking at bathtub while carefully thinking about it, Ethan filled it. Busy filling the tub, he heard her give him an answer

"I want us to have a bath together.."

Flinching slightly, he wanted to laugh it off but, even though he couldn't see her, he knew she was serious. Remembering Riveria's lesson, he knew it was wiser to let her explain first the biological difference that separates a man and a woman, but, now that he felt he was coming to love her even more than what he thought possible, he understood it wasn't such behavior that would keep their relationship going

'All I need to do is avoid in any way to involve my lower body... I can't really refuse her now..'

Turning around while smiling, he nodded

"If you want, that's fine"

Surprised that he accepted, Ais' eyes widened slightly before she returned to her normal 'emotionless' expression which, although it couldn't be noticed very easily, still had the shadow of a smile. Gulping, he returned to his earlier job while she approached him without saying anything more.

After the bathtub was filled, he started to undress while Ais did the same. Glancing at her body a few times, he saw her smooth skin almost enchanted by the beauty placed before him. Even though he wasn't shy to show his body, especially after his muscles were starting to stand out, he didn't want to look at her n.a.k.e.d body too much.

With a confused expression, she stared at him while asking

"Can we..enter?"

Shaking his head, he bought some soap with random flavour

"Yes, take this and do as I told you before"

Scrolling in the system for more items, he saw a red sponge. Buying it, he made it appear while adding

"This is a sponge, it can absorb water and release it by putting force, I advise you, don't put too much force"

Taking these two items, Ethan finally decided to move on to what was necessary, entering the tub, he saw her entering as well. Placing herself literally on him, he embraced her while trying not to think about her b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s that were near a dangerous location...

Letting the sponge wander the tub, he took a random soap in his hands while he put it in the water.

With his other hand holding onto her belly, he gulped again as the sensation of touching her, even if the water slightly mitigated the effect, still made him feel heat in his lower body. Feeling a strange reaction from him, she asked

"There's.. something wrong..?"

Bringing her slightly closer, he answered

"There isn't anything wrong, only that the life of a man is really... difficult."

Confused, she tilted her head slightly while he looked towards the ceiling. Understanding he had no choice, he said

"Ais, you see..the difference between me and you is that you aren't well aware of the situation we are in.. When you're so close to me, an 'instinct' that resides in all males is brought to light..."

Listening to his words, her confused expression didn't vanish while he added

"Can you feel something pushing against you..? It's called p.e.n.i.s...or d.i.c.k. and the fact it's hard means I'm excited..do you understand?"

Feeling the p.e.n.i.s pressing against her she brought her hand to touch it. The sudden action made him flinch slightly while she answered

"So..this is used for.."

Nodding, he smiled awkwardly while she continued stroke it with her hand, as if she didn't care about everything he just said. With his p.e.n.i.s standing proudly, she continued to stroke it as if it was an important treasure.

Even though he really wanted to enjoy this moment, he still felt it was wrong to get to that point before hearing a much more detailed explanation from Riveria. He was about to tell her something more, but luck didn't really seem to be on their side today. Hearing a few knocks on his door, he immediately exited the bathtub. With a high-speed movement, he vanished from his spot while locking the door.

"E-Ethan? Why did you lock the door?"

Hearing Lefiya's voice, Ethan sighed

"Wait a minute, I'm getting dressed"

Understanding, she replied with an 'okay' while he looked at Ais.

'Ok, I just need to use my Inventory to put her clothes on, but what about her hair? they are all wet..'

Thinking for a moment, he remembered the trick he used on himself...motioning to her to get out of the water, she did as he wanted while he brought his hands on her shoulders. Seeing her with a light blush on her face, he looked away while gulping again.

After some seconds, he saw as all the drops of water remained on her body evaporate. Smiling, he equipped her clothes before doing the same on himself.

With a few deep breaths, he focused hard on anything sad that came to his mind to calm himself down..With his erection slowly returning to normal, he saw that it wasn't as evident as before.

'I guess it's fine like this...'

'She will 'misunderstand', but at least, there's no evidence'

Seeing Ais in front of her, Lefiya said Good Morning while she replied the same.

"Good M-Morning... Ethan.."

Surprising him, there wasn't a blush on her face and, she didn't seem to have noticed that something was wrong.

'I thought that she was a more... aware of these things..'

While thinking this, she saw her approaching him while entering the door, with an odour of strawberries pervaded her nose, she was curious to ask, but she preferred to not do it as she heard him reply with a smile

"Morning, Lefiya"

Blushing, she looked away while Ais went towards him as well. Now that she was in his room, he decided to take advantage of it

"Would you like to come have breakfast with us?"

'I can't meddle between the two like this ..'

"I.. I was here because I wanted to go with Ais to bathe, but... I guess I'll go alone.."

Seeing her turning around while exiting his room, Ethan immediately approached her before he put a hand on her shoulder. Glaring at her, he replied

"...Ais will come with you while I'll wait at the exit of the Manor as always. We are a group, remember? the fact that you come with us is obvious"

With another blush, she looked at Ais for approval. Nodding in affirmation, she moved closer to Lefiya while adding

"Let's go..Lefiya"

With this scene happening in front of her, she asked with a blush

"A-Are you sure..? D-Don't you want some time for you..?"

Sighing with a smile, he continued to glare at Lefiya. Raising her hands as a sign of surrender, the two exited his room. Looking back one last time, she saw that Ethan's expression had become gentler..

Feeling heat come from her belly, she got lost in his eyes for a few moments before turning to look at where she was going, holding her hands on her belly while Ais had a slightly confused expression on her face..

'That girl, will she understand one day that she must have more self-confidence? Indeed, it's true that I would like to have some time with just the two of us, but that doesn't mean I can ignore someone that looks at me in that way.. I'm a man after all..'

Running a hand through his hair, Ethan had some time to interact with the system. Walking towards the exit, he was scrolling through the various sub-functions of [Dungeons].

'Ok..it seems normal, but what is this [FirstDungeon]?'

Cl.i.c.k.i.n.g on it, he heard Light reply

[There's something I omitted, there is a Dungeon where you can enter freely...however, it is different from most others. While the two keys given by the quest are occasional dungeons, this is a 'Variant' that is called [True Dungeon]. This type of Dungeon have many floors. To complete it you will need to complete special quests, different from those given by occasional quests...and, as the name implies, you can enter as many times as you like and when you want instead of the occasional ones where the use of a key is worth only a couple of times maximum...]

While listening to the long explanation, he was already at the exit of the Manor.

'Interesting... I wanted to try this after the expedition but I guess it's fine trying tomorrow... I have free time..'

On the server, you can see the reference on some things that will be present in the story! Right now you can freely see some things like the [Twin's Digimon] and [The Devoted Heart].)
