Chapter 15 - 15. Statistics That Makes Me Feel Good. (1/2)

”Ah, you're back early, my friend. Where have you gone to so far?” greeted Prius as soon as he heard the rattle of the front wooden door as I pushed the door and quickly sneaked in. I had since lost track of time and was wondering what time would Patricia and Prius would be sleeping.

I had seen a ladder leading upstairs and it might have some bedrooms for them, I suppose. Where else would they be sleeping? In the barn? Hah Hah Hah. These are NPC that are meant to serve around the house and I don't think I would change upon them leaving the house. Or else as mentioned earlier by Prius, he would be picking up a bow to kill some game outside.

However, these 2 seems to know more about the outside world without even leaving the house.

”Oh, hello Prius. I'm sorry if I make you wait for me at night. I've just visited Pointus, the herbal pharmacist and he gave me quite a lot of heads up in his research. Oh yeah, when I was in Pointus store, the potion brewery lab exploded but the petite lady was alright even if her face and clothes were filled with soot.”

”Oh, that's Joan. Yes, she had blown her place and face a few times and it would normally be after dusk. We wonder if she is addicted to the blast as it happens ever so frequent. I guess every blast would put her closer to her being a successful alchemist. Hah Hah Hah.”

Prius laughed as he recalled Joan the Alchemist blowing herself up and tripping with all those weird stuff on the floor and around the work area. It seemed that she was hooked on a feeling during such events for her. Hah hah hah. I was half expecting the offscreen crew to break into a song and dance based on the song, 'Hooked On A Feeling' but it didn't happen at all.

”Alright, I'm off to bed now and be seeing you in the morning. I've got 2 jobs waiting for me, one is with Pointus while the other is with Blake and after I'm done, I'd like to take a look around outside of town.” I said as bade goodnight to Prius and as I walked towards my room I saw Patricia from the corner of my eye.

”Is anything the matter, Pat? Do you need to say something to me?” I stopped right before my bedroom door and asked her for she was standing there fidgeting with her fingers and not with a fidget spinner. Hah hah.

”I... I... Actually, want to wipe you down before I head to bed. That's what I had been doing for the past 6 months when you were brought in here in this household by the infirmary. It's weird to find that you had somehow recovered and then was walking about as nothing has happened to you.”

Patricia said with a slight stammer. Even she was watching her ties all the time when she was saying this to me but her eyes shifted upwards and somehow looked at me in a very discreet manner.

”Eh... Hmm... You can still do it though, while I'm asleep later. Would you mind getting me a towel so I could lay down on it? I would be all sweaty throughout the night and I don't want the cold hard wooden bed to be wet with my perspiration.”

”I could still do that to you? You won't wake up and do something to me? Alright, I will get the towel ready.” she replied with a quizzical look since I had asked for a towel and was mentioning it would be soaking with perspiration later. Little did everyone knows what I would be doing soon.

I opened up the door, entered and changed to my loose cotton shorts which I found that I had plenty of those in one of the drawers of the wooden armoire. Patricia gently knocked the room and entered as she placed the towel neatly spread out on the wooden bed.

”I will come in to check when you're asleep and wipe you down, ok?” she said as she exited the room before throwing a glance at my round buttocks. ”I KNEW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER” came a title through my head and I laughed thinking that she must have squeezed it whenever she got the chance. Hah Hah Hah...!!!

I hung the clothes that I had worn earlier, thinking that it could still be fine for tomorrow as I lie down on the towel. First I opened up the interface and I was guffawing to myself as I looked that I had 200 points to allocate. After allocating, it looked somewhat like this.
