Chapter 45: Relaxation
[Edited by Arthur300000]
[Branya can’t help itself, and add a bit of this and that.]
[Deathbricks and ArchmageNaoki joined to rescue.]
*Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!* Every time I open the dish cover that accursed thing screamed at me. I already tried to recite Prime numbers and PI but I've yet to clear my mind. Well, it's understandable since I can't go beyond 13 and 3.14 something...
Let's try something longer.
Chi-Yo-Ta-Ni-Ke-Ra-Ha-To-Ho-Ra-Su-Te-No-Ha-Te-Ki-Ra-To-Na-Ri-Ha-Shi-Te-To
I tried the dragon quest's spell of restoration next, but this time when I open the cover the meat was bubbling and growing.
"Kuro, what have you done!" My brother looked at me, his face showing absolute panic. I look back at the meat, and it's expanded to about the size of a basketball. I stabbed a few knives and forks in it but it has no effect whatsoever.
Everyone in the dining hall began to run away in panic. Shortly I am alone with a giant truck-sized piece of meat. Now it has white hair growing around its body. Maybe I should also be running away or do something, but for some reason, my body refused to move.
Even though the hair began to grow on its mass, the meat doesn't slow down its expansion. I was swept along with table, chandelier, and silverware until I was entirely surrounded by the silky smooth mass of meat. I'm going to be eaten alive.
My life in this world was short, but I'm happy. To whoever took me here and my family who adopted me, thank you...

"Eh he he Kuro's multiplying." I heard my sister mumble. Huh? What just happened? I still felt the bouncy meat envelop my body. If I could breathe properly I might say that this feels good.
As I recovered my faculties I try to wiggle myself out and found that my face was buried in two beautiful sets of boobs which belong to my mom and my sister.
"Whew, I thought I was gonna die." I gulped the air greedily and look at the clock. It's 4 AM. I woke up an hour early. Damn that accursed meal. Out of the dozen wonderful dishes that I ate yesterday, that one is the most troublesome foe. Even though its taste is otherworldly good, I still had a nightmare from it.
My family is still asleep. The dim light from under the hot tub dancing around the room along with the bubbling of the water is supposed to be beautiful. However, after the nightmare, it looked eerie. I hope there are no ghosts in this world as I tried to sneak to the toilet, but when my left foot touched the soft carpet a voice suddenly rang in my head.
[Good morning, mistress. We have decided on our new device.] ... I run to the toilet because I almost peed myself.
Still, I shut the door quietly then turn on the light in the spacious restroom. I told Skynet to wait and left her at the counter before I enter the toilet stall. Well, It took me two weeks to feel comfortable while doing this ALONE. I don't want to feel conscious about it again when I dabbed the toilet paper to my new equipment situated between my legs.
Yup, I called it wiped, but I actually dabbed it with tissue. I discovered that I don't need any friction to do this job. Moreover, it's very bad idea to wipe it from back to front. You know, this equipment gets infected very easy, and it burns...
"Alright show me." I put Skynet on before I brush my teeth. Yesterday night I talked with Skynet about what to do with her during the field assignment. Since my current computation device is too fragile she suggests switching her device to a tactical one. The website of the one she selected appeared in my vision.

It's even slower and smaller than my current computation orb, and the combat specification isn't that impressive. But on the plus side though it's durable and Skynet can cast spells to help me during battle.
I wash my face and watched an advertisement video clip showing that the device was still workable after it was pounded heavily by Macho man's big hammer and a chainsaw. Hmm, it also comes with a five-year warranty.
The website she shows me also has a synthetic body for sale but I would need about million credits to buy that. There is also a choice to give her a flying drone body, but if she were to be shot down she would die for real. The auxiliary devices are very diverse, they come in all sizes, shapes, and functions. I saw a lot of interesting devices there, but they are the military or adventurer grade which I can't buy.
Wait, speaking of military and adventurer grade devices, I think I have some auxiliary devices from my last field assignment. I access my hair clip and filter the item management menu to show auxiliary devices. There are three of them! Two of them are just dumb devices for casting AoE spells, a staff, and a wand.
"What do you think?" I took a black bowling ball shape device out from my hair clip and showed it to Skynet. It's heavier than my PC.
"Accessing devices database... please standby... please standby... found a match." It took her quite a long time to identify what it is. Doesn't that mean the registration terminal I use in the school is a lot faster than Skynet? I finish changing my clothes to a casual one and look at the window showing the bowling-ball-like device’s specs in my vision.

"Memory and storage are small. However, the processor is faster than my current device even though it's already obsolete. The combat specifications are also outstanding. Mistress, you already have a suitable device. Why did you ask us to find one?"
"Uhm, you see... maybe the new one is better?"
"Mistress, you are lying." Geh, why can everyone read me like a book!?
"Your emotions are shown clearly through your vital signs."
"Jeez, I didn't know that I had one, alright!" At that time I just grabbed all the adventurer and military gears without trying to understand those complicated specifications. I thought about studying them later but I got distracted.
"Perhaps we can catalog your inventory for you." Skynet offered.
"That's a good idea. Anyway, how many spells did you learn?"
"Only basic spells for adventures. Mistress, if we have time, I suggest going to the range to test it out." Her voice seems enthusiastic. Did she never cast any spells before?
"I will try." Today is going to be a busy day. According to the school website I have to board the school's airship tonight because it takes a whole night to fly over to the Beastman country.
"Good morning Kuro!" *Wham* "Real Kuro is so soft and squishy. And good morning Skynet." My sister enters the restroom and squeezed me.
“Ahh~ Don’t squeeze me there-” “Good morning Pristia” Skynet replied while I try to struggle from her invasive grip. I did a lot of push-ups, sit-ups, and a lot of exercises to maintain my boobs’ size. However, no matter what I did, my body refuse to grow any muscle. My head hurts when I tried to justify where my strength came from.
Luckily, my mom came in shortly afterward and stopped her. I left my poor sister who was being lectured about being a good role model and began to ransack the hotel room. It had treasures everywhere. Skynet said that all disposable daily use stuff in the room is free.
This toothbrush felt better than what I'm using at home, and this shampoo smells nice. I store all of them in my storage device and move on from one cabinet to another. It takes some acrobatic skills to open a higher one, but I still get to it one way or another. Since I'm free while everyone is busy with their morning businesses most treasures belong to me. Huh? A hoarding tendency? There is no such thing.
"Hmm, this is complicated." I spotted a coffee making machine. It doesn't look like the one I saw in the infomercial at all. Well, I thought it was some kind of vending machine. However, it's harder to use than I thought. I pressed the [Espresso] button, but nothing came out.
"You should put a dried coffee package inside it first, Mistress. Try opening the cabinet under the machine." Skynet suggested.
"Make me one too while you're at it." My dad tells me before he enters the restroom. Soon afterward everyone else also orders a coffee from me.
.
.
.
The aroma of coffee filled the room as I successfully produce my first batch. Well, it takes no skill to do this. It's just putting the packages in the correct slots and pressing what I want.
What I'm holding in my hand isn't espresso though. It's bitter, so I gave it to dad. The one in my hand is called a mochaccino, I think. Well, I got the idea from my sister's order. She wants a cappuccino, but it's still a bit too bitter for me. I also added a lot of milk and sugar...
My mom's Café Latte is also not bad, but it doesn't come with a beautiful foamy thing on the top. The only one I didn't taste is my brother's long Macchiato because he specifically told me not to sip his cup... Stingy.
"Hmm, so, this is the taste that adults enjoy." I ignored my brothers chuckle while appreciating the taste of an adult and watching the town turn to gold as the sun began to rise. The sensation of the warm water jet massaging my legs inside the huge hot tub also felt wonderful.
“Say, Aunos, how do you know that I was trying to store some bread yesterday?” I asked about the thing that had bothered me since yesterday. I’m confident in my sneaking and pickpocketing skill to the point that I would consider being called a thieving cat as a compliment.
“Oh, that’s what you were trying to do, huh?” Didn’t he know? But how-
“Well, I thought you were trying to disappear from the table. That’s why I warned you. It’s bad manner to disappear like that.” … We sit like that until breakfast arrived.
No need to say that breakfast was also perfect. It's even better than yesterday’s dinner because they brought it to our room. The best thing is, I didn't have to wear the awkward dress and care about formalities. Haaah, so blissful. It's a bit sad we have to leave.
We left the hotel at 6:40 AM. Then we take the tram to the airport. I wanted to shop more, but we were out of time... Damn it, this town’s panties should be cheap. I sigh and board the airship while holding my mom's hand.
