Chapter 405 - Tell Me What You Mean!

-----

"Oh, so you were here." I said.

"Uwaah! C-Chaos-sama, please don't enter without knocking!" She said.

"I didn't knew you were here…" I said.

"D-Don't look…" She said embarrassedly.

Ah, right, privacy. I should get out of here.

"Sorry about that." I said, as I walked outside.

I hope she doesn't hate me for that… I hate how I sometimes forget about these things, it is hard to make me remember it well, but I am more surprised that someone as open as Abyss has a problem showing me her body, even though when she transforms into a giant goo she is nude, right? So why does she gets so embarrassed? Hm… I suppose I shouldn't delve into such thoughts for the moment.

When Abyss was done bathing, she walked out of the bathroom with some towels wrapped around her, she looked quite cute.

"Sorry…" I said.

"Oh, no, don't worry, I think I overreacted a bit…" She said. "I-I just want to save it for when we do it…"

"Huh? What do you mean?" I wondered.

"Save it… Like… Save my nude body from your eyes until we d-do it…" She said once more.

"Do what?" I wondered while tilting my head, I really had no idea.

"N-Never mind…! Really, just don't mind what I just said, Chaos-sama!" She said.

"Oh, okay." I said, as I walked inside the bathroom and decided to take a warm bath. I began to think what she meant by that for a long while.

I took a warm and relaxing bath where I thought about what Abyss could have meant by those words, but I really couldn't figure out much about that, at the end I decided to just forget it and concentrate into taking a warm bath. Although my body had been destroyed and reformed a couple of times now, especially after Valen almost killed me, my muscles still get sore over time when I do a lot of exercise, the battle yesterday was really exhausting, even with my regenerations and stamina levels. I think that even with the strength I had, if it wasn't thanks to Abyss ability to create a domain to trap the Forbidden One inside and also her spear techniques, I wouldn't had been able to eliminate him so swiftly. She was of really big help back then… Maybe I should craft her an armor piece now, slowly I could make her a whole armor, I wonder how pretty she could look with a lot of armor on, she would certainly look strong. Like my own knight.

I know I have Tristan and Lancelot, but when I put the knight role into Abyss, it changes things completely and makes it even better. I suppose any sort of clothes would look good on her. Perhaps I should try out some more types of clothes for her, her maid outfit changes around all the time, but wearing a dress… Shouldn't be so bad. Hm, I will begin immediately the creation of a new dress for her.

I swiftly moved several Flesh Clones I had inside my Divine Realm, and with the help of various tailors that live inside of my divine realm, I quickly began to plan and then creation of a new dress for her. I will enhance it with a lot of magic too. My clothes are already greatly enhanced, so she should get something similar. Hm, I like this idea, I feel rather pumped up, let's work hard in something for her. I am sure that such a thing will make her happy. Perhaps if she gets happy, she'll be able to tell me what she meant by doing "that" and we might end up doing it as well. There is no reason for it to be something bad, right? Perhaps it was something good. I wonder what she could have meant… Wait, maybe bathing? Perhaps she wanted to bathe with me?

…No, she would had asked me already if that were the case, it is probably something else completely unrelated to bathing, something else different that makes her feel embarrassed, I wonder what it could be. I have to research and find what does a couple do when they are naked together. Maybe Belphegor or Lilith could know something.

After I washed my hair, I quickly dried my body from the water and feeling relaxed, I walked outside of my bathroom to find Abyss already bringing me a big breakfast.

"My lord, I've brought you your breakfast! Let's enjoy it together before we do the meeting!" She said.

"Oh, sure thing." I said.

As I enjoyed the food with her, I swiftly moved around my divine realm with a small Flesh Clone, which had the appearance of a little rolling meatball. I used it to reach Belphegor, who was currently taking a bath himself. Belphegor has told me to not tell anybody that he takes baths that are not just to take out the ashes or dust inside his skull, he says that these baths help him recover the cracks that grow on his body that cannot easily recover, or when he loses big pieces of bone from his skull…

"Belphegor, I need to ask you something."

I appeared at his side, scaring him a bit, I was in the form of a meatball with a single eye, so it was natural I would had given him a scare, especially by how small is this little clone body.

"AAAAGGH! …Eh? My lord?" He wondered.

Belphegor was bathing in a white substance, yes, milk. He bathes in milk to recover his bones. I don't know how it really works, I am pretty sure milk has more fat than calcium though, but it is one of the beverages with calcium that is also easy to find and produce from the cattle animal we have.

"Yeah, I wanted to ask you something, sorry to interrupt your milk bath." I said.

"D-Don't worry about it… Just ask away, please." He said.

"Okay, I was wondering what did Abyss meant… She said she wanted to not show me her nude body yet, as she was saving such an opportunity for a certain moment. I was wondering what sort of moment she wanted the two of us to be nude together." I said.

"Eh? Ah… That's a good question, I really don't know…" Said Belphegor. "Perhaps it is bathing!"

"You think so too? It most likely that, right? It should be…" I sighed in relief. "I was right in my assumption then."

"You were! Maybe just ask her to do it, don't worry, I am sure she loves you dearly, she'll accept." Said Belphegor. "I understand that you lack a lot of experience, my lord, simply be a bit bolder, it'll work out."

"Thanks for your advice, you're the closest person I have aside Abyss, so I always feel like I must ask you things I don't know." I said.

"Hahaha! My lord, you're going to make me blush." He said. "Feel free to leave now, I am in my privacy here…"

"Right, sorry, and take your time." I said, as I rolled away.

Using my main body inside of my room enjoying breakfast with Abyss, I decided to ask her about it, as it seems that being bolder was the best option for someone like Abyss who loved me, so she would probably be okay with it, right? I guess? Maybe I should be more considerate? Oh well, I don't lose anything asking politely.

I had already decided to ask her, as it was better to be direct with her, I know I can be a bit rough in the edges, but she had been with me for some time now, I am sure that she can understand me.

"Abyss, did you wanted to take a bath together with me?" I wondered.

"Eh? Eeeeeeh?!"

Abyss suddenly reacted outside of my expectations. She looked at me with surprise, growing redder with every second that passed. What with that reaction? I don't remember her reacting like this so commonly as of now.

"T-This is… I-I guess? It is… okay… I-if you wanted… But… I… I didn't meant that when I said that before…" She said.

"Huh? Then what did you meant?" I wondered.

"Chaos… H-Have you been thinking about this little thing all this time?" She asked.

"Yeah." I said.

"Hahaha… I told you to forget about it…" She said as she pouted and looked at me while furrowing her eyebrows.

"But I got curious…" I said. "You're the one in fault for saying things. You know that I like to investigate things I don't understand."

"Right… You're a very curious man…" She sighed. "Well, okay… What I meant was… D-Doing… L-Love…"

"Love?" I asked. "But don't we love each other already?"

"Yes but… T-This is another type of love… Some people call it… Erm… Uwah, this is embarrassing… I am such a pervert…" She cried.

"You're not a pervert." I said. "Just tell me."

"W-Well… It is…"
