44 Chapter 45: Relax (1/2)
”Mnn...”
I wake up a familiar soft sensation on both sides of my arm.
”Ah that's right. We exhausted all our energy and fainted.” I said as i looked at my arms
My left arm, was being tightly held by a sleeping serena, While my right arm, was being held by Ariel.
”I'm surprised I managed to fall asleep in this situation...” I muttered as I looked over at the two girls
Serena's sleeping face was both beautiful and cute. She had the genes of an elf after all. A proud race which lives on for hundreds of years and maintains their teenage looks throughout those years. At least that's what i read.
”If only you always stayed quiet...” I muttered
As I said, I looked over at Ariel. Her sleeping face was adorable. She's a human, and in most cases people's looks are above average here compared to my previous world. But hers are beyond that.
Am i being tested? Why do i have these two cute girls each clinging on to one of my arms. I'm a boy you know... A boy going through puberty. My heart can't take it...
Even if I've never had a girlfriend before, or barely talked to girls aside from my cousins. I still was interested in getting one. Although i never really found a crush or fell in love.
There were plenty of beautiful girls in my old school, but none of them made me feel that way. I wonder what it feels like when you do...
”Well, I can think about these things in the future. Right now, what matters the most is surviving and keeping these two safe.”
Half an hour later, the two girls woke up
”Hey, john... Me and Ariel were wondering... Could you please set up a bath for us? There are a few cylinder-shaped rocks over there which we could fill with water. It'll feel like a hot-spring.” Asked Serena
”Sure” I straightforwardly said
”Really?” Asked Serena
”Yeah, why not? I'd also like to take a shower. Also while you're taking a shower, here's 2 toothbrushes and toothpaste. This is for you and Ariel” I replied as i pulled them out from my toolbox
”Why do you have a toothbrush and toothpaste?” Asked Serena
”Well i thought we might need them, which is why i also brought a towel and toilet paper,” I replied
”Of course you did. You're always prepared.”
Why'd you say it with a sarcastic tone
”This is going too smoothly... Wait. You're not planning on peeping are you!?” Asked Serena with a surprised expression
Ariel who overheard made an embarrassed expression
”Alright, I guess you don't want to take a shower,” I replied as i began to create my own
”Wait! Wait! I was joking, I'm sorry.” Said Serena as she pulled my hand
”It's fine.” I said as i walked over to their side and began creating a bath
I'd be lying if i said i wasn't interested. I want to, But it's not like I'll die if i don't, and it's not right...
Close... We're a hands width away from each other. Her small eyes, look as if they're staring right through me
”Y-Yeah, E-Everything's, okay,” I said as I hastily turned my face
T-That was close... Wait, why am I always getting flustered whenever we make eye contact...
Ariel tilted her head in a confused manner at my sudden reaction
”W-Well, I'm going to go add water and heat up the spring,” I said as I walked off
Ariel nodded and continued practising her wind control. Whenever she has time, she plays around with the wind. I'm glad she enjoys using magic.
Once i reached the rocks, I noticed that Serena, was waiting there.
”Hey.” I said as i cast Aqua
I began filling the cylinder-shaped rocks with water. When Serena suddenly got closer to me.
”Hey, john. Are you sure you wouldn't want to peep..? Aren't boys usually interested in that sort of thing?” Asked Serena
I didn't reply to her question... More like I didn't know what to say
”Are you, not into girls?” Asked Serena with a surprised expression
”What? No. I'm straight.” I replied
”Then do you not find us interesting..?” Asked Serena dejected expression
”It's not that!” I suddenly replied
Serena's expression changed from a dejected one to a surprised one at my sudden reaction. As we stared at each other, face to face i continued.
”So you are?” Asked Serena
”Argh... Fine, Yes I am. Are you happy? What kind of guy wouldn't want to peep at two cute girls taking a shower? Now stop asking, you're ruining my innocent mind” I straightforwardly said
Serena who didn't expect this coming. felt embarrassed. Her cheeks were bright red as she said ”I-I see...” as she stared at me
I did not expect her reaction at all. My heart once again began beating even faster as we looked at each other. And I could feel my cheeks turning red, as I looked away. And tried focusing on heating up the water.
Seeing this, Serena slowly and quietly got up without saying anything and walked towards Ariel's direction, before she turned around and called my name
”John.” Said, Serena
”What?” I asked as I turned around, still embarrassed from what I had just said
”You're a Pervert.” Said Serena as she showed me a cute mischievous smile while she blushed.
”Wha-” I said as my face showed an, even more, embarrassed expression
