Chapter 50: The Ruins of the Ether 1

Hnngg… a…a dream?

Why am I dreaming about the past with the other heroes?

The sudden attack of nostalgia reminds me of how much I miss everyone…

…...

Ahhh…it’s so warm…what’s in my face? It’s…so soft and fluffy…

Muh…my eyes are firmly shut. I don’t want to open it yet…

I hug it, ruffle it and snuggle on it.

“Hnnng! Ahhh!~”

I hear a voice… I get a reaction from doing this…

“Yaah?! Ahh!? HNNG!”

It’s so addicting! I started sniffing on it. Sniff sniff!~

“Haah…haah…haah…”

Ah… oh no… I know now that this is not the snuggle land but…

As I open my eyes…

“A-Asagaooo…you’re too rough!”

“Higan!? I’m sorry!”

“Haah..haah…”

“Um…h-how does it feels by the way?”

“Why are you asking? Well…I feel a bit lightheaded and really warm.”

That can’t be good! It was the best decision to stop. Higan’s face is flustered and she is sweating so much. The tent is filled with her scent…somehow…that’s kind of dangerous if I were a man…

Are her tails really that sensitive? The two fox tails are quivering…

Two tails…

?!

“Higan! You have two tails now!”

“Yeah…and Asagao…do this and that to my tails…”

“I’m really sorry!”

“No, it’s fine. I kind of felt good…”

You probably shouldn’t! How old are you? You are still young!

Anyway...

After what happened the other day where Alstroe-nee’s power made quite a bit of mess, master decides that we will rest for the whole day again.

He forbids me from using that power to Alstroe again but said that it’s fine with Higan.

Master said that the probability of that power is a blessing that I can temporarily grant to other people, is high. If it is, how did I get it?

Why can’t I use it myself? There are facts that laid out about enhancement. But if this is not an enhancement then, isn’t this similar to the goddess of the old legend that Violetta always mentioned to me.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

Hehehe…Me being a goddess? Impossible~.

SNIFF

SNIFF

“…Higan…why are you smelling my hair?”

“Asagao scent smells the best in the morning.”

“Wait… do you always do this?

“Hm? You just notice it just now?”

“Muh…I’ll let it slide because you’re cute Higan.”

“Ehehehehe *glomp* Asagao is cuter though!~”

“…Higan…you’re too close now.”

“Isn’t it fine? I like Asagao! I like you so much.”

“…”

I wonder how Higan perceives friendship and love interest. I hope she is not someone who mix up a friendship and being lovers. She is really cute, but it’d be best if, in the future, she’ll get a normal relationship, as in, boy to girl relationship. Right now…she is still young though.

I beckon Higan to go outside now. She reluctantly let go of me.

As we exit the tent, there’s Alstroe and master…

“Master Alstroe! You really don’t have to do this to me!”

“But Murot might do it! This is for assurance!”

“AH! You’re breaking my arm! Don’t be rough! OW!”

“I have to make sure you don’t move from this spot!”

“What kind of play is this?!”

I shouted.

Alstroe is tying master with a bundle of rope. It’s nothing erotic. When I say bundle… a bundle of ropes around master…making him look like a cocoon.

Stop poking master in the face Higan. I mean, don’t stop!

“Alstroe, what seems to be the problem here? Did master finally become a criminal?”

“YOU UNGRATEFUL DISCIPLE! INSTEAD OF DEFENDING ME, YOU ARE TRY—GUFOOUH!”

“You see Asagao!~ I found a nice waterfall stream nearby!~ I wanted the three of us to go together!”

“”REALLY?!””

Ah! We can finally take a bath after many days! Although it’s an outdoor bath, it won’t stop me from dipping in this one! Even Higan is excited that her tail is wiggling.

I can do laundry too while we’re at it! Higan ran out of clothes to wear so she is currently wearing my gothic Lolita clothes. Her charm multiplied when she wears it! The cuteness meter breaks!

But of course, she is not comfortable wearing it… The bust size is different after all.

“OKAY! Alstroe! Tighten the rope!”

“Roger!” 

“I AM NOT GOING TO PEEK FOR GOD’S SAKE! I AM NOT EVEN INTERESTED IN A BRAT’S BODY!”

“So you are interested in Alstroe’s body.”

“I AM A MILLENIUM YEARS OLD DRAGON! I AM FAITHFUL TO ONLY ONE WOMAN! SUCH THINGS, I DON’T HAVE ANY INTERESTS!”

“…”

“…maybe a little…”

“Alstroe, it seems the rope is not tight enough.”

“Un! ORYAAA!”

“AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!”

We left master, who is now agonizing in pain. I now it’s easy for him to break out from those bindings and I believe his words. But let’s not take it for granted.

After walking for about thirty minutes, we arrive at the waterfall stream…

It was beautiful…there are a lot of waterfalls that consecutively falls down to a single stream. The waterfall itself is not high and there are beautiful flowers around.

The rock formation compliments the beauty of the falls. It is neatly stacked to each other. There are also trees growing and round looking bushes growing!~

The water is clear. When I try to touch it, it’s a bit cold but bearable!~

The whole place is surrounded by mountain like boulders. There is a gap behind one of the big boulders. Curiosity struck me and I dare to take a peek.

UWAAH! There’s an alp covered with snow from afar. Some of the direction of the streams goes here. It’s so beautiful! This is what they call a real million dollar view! I think…

[Author: Like this too. I do not own this too.] 

Anyway! I’m really giddy from such view!

“Asagao! If you keep standing there, we’re going ahead of you!”

“AH! I’m coming!”

“Geez, why are you smiling so cutely like that?!”

“Eh? Am I? Ehehehe!”

I started undressing. Not full commando you know! Even Alstroe and Higan kept a bare minimum of clothes!

Good thing I have the pseudo soap and shampoo that I bought from the beast kin capital. I want to wash and feel Higan’s tail and comb Alstroe’s straight, glossy hair!

Even though just earlier, I miss being with everyone from the castle and had the wish to go back, right now, I feel glad I am able to experience this.

As I dove into the water with Alstroe and Higan, we frolic around the whole place, splash here and there. We swam left and right. No, we still don’t know how to swim…properly… even Higan… But it is a good experience!

After an hour playing in the water, we do the laundry. Higan and I started washing our clothes. We do it safely as to not harm the nature.

As for Alstroe, we made her go back to the camp because… she doesn’t have anything to do now. Her clothes don’t need any clothes washing and we rejected her offer to help.

POP

“Um… Higan…stop making bubbles…”

“Ehehehe…. There are so many that floats.”

“Geez, please take this chore seriously! It’s our clothes that we are washing!”

“Un. Asagao, your underwear looks cute.”

“T-THAT’S! T-THAT’S…UMMM…WAS MADE FOR ME…it’s…is it…childish for you?”

“Some part of me wants to say yes, but some say it’s okay because Asagao wears it.”

I swear these pumpkin panties!

…...

Milin… even though she is a repeat offender…I hope she is okay…

.

.

.

Time goes by and we finish washing our clothes.

The only thing to do now is to dry them. My dimensional storage is convenient but I wish it has dryer installed inside of it. Well, I really can’t ask for much more.

Eh… I really don’t want to leave this place… Maybe… I can visit here sometimes after everything is settled!

Hmm…

Come to think of it…in movies…most waterfalls have cave behind it where there is a secret lair.

What if…

“Higan…I want to check something…do you want to come?”

“Of course!~”

Well, it’s obvious but I have to ask her anyway.

Insurance if something happens, she can’t blame me.

We go around the water fall…

Well, there is a cave… and inside the cave…Stairs? Nothing gained if nothing ventured!

We climb the stairs!

After a while, it was a dead end. There is a huge boulder blocking the cave. Blowing the boulder is stupidity and I don’t want to activate any dangerous things here.

PYON.

Higan, who is sticking close to me… nervously spoke…

“A-Asagao… I think… I step onto something…”

“…”

…A pit opened up below us…

In this situation…a person thought process can only do one thing…

“”AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!””
