Hey (^_^)/

Chapter 12 is here~~

Special thanks for Tivanenk

I intend to put the story until the next day longer but it would end up too long so I cut it shorter than I expected.

========================================

Kena is leading me to my new room. It's located in the big building further from the other building. It has the same feeling as a dorm but much bigger. The first floor seems for water kind of people because each door in the first floor is connected directly to the water road except for the door in the middle of the building. There are stairs leading up right the moment you open that door.

"There are 176 rooms at the moment. 54 rooms above is the flying tribe of people, 63 rooms under connected straight to the sea is for water tribe of people and the rest is for others. Since my lady like to recruit people suddenly, we usually prepare three to four empty room for new member or a guest in each type. Not every member of Ancagon live here. Some decide to build their own store and live there, others have their own home at other places"(Kena)

Kena explains as she brings me to the 7th floor. The second room from the end of the hall is my new room.

"From now on, this your room. Right under my room and beside Lila's room. If anything happen, you could ask one of us."(Kena)

The room is quite simple, not too big or small. There is a small wardrobe near the window and a single bed right beside it. The floor is made of earth but it's smooth and clean.

"Um...Kena?"(Lila)

Lila is peeking from the door while holding clothes.

"Lila!"(Kena)

Kena is suddenly hugging Lila upon seeing her. She's just rubbing her cheek to her.

"U-um...lady just told me to prepare clothes and take her to bathe"(Lila)

"You're gonna take a bath? We should take a bath together"(Kena)

Kena, your face looked like a pervert's...

"...eh? Together?"(Rune)

"Y-yes, we use a public bath"(Lila)

"It's also one of lady's idea! Everyone here is using one big bath together. Not only saving more place, it also saves more water! Isn't that smart?! She even uses a fire stone and invented a water purifier. She called it...ossen...onosen.... what it's name again?"(Kena)

"It's onsen *gigle*"(Lila)

"Yes, that one! Onesen!"(Kena)

"Public bath...everyone is bathing together?! Like in one place? One bath?"(Rune)

"Yes"(Lila)

B-bathing together?!

I looked at Kena's body, big breast, small waist...the perfect adult body. On the other hand, Lila's body is small and slender. She's still developing.

...I-it impossible! I can't just take a bath with women. Well, except my mother. But I can't help it! I was just a baby okay! Even then I would always keep my eyes shut!

I could feel heat rising to my cheek.

"N-no! I can't do that! That's embarrassing!"(Rune)

"What are you saying? We're all girls anyway"(Kena)

S-still impossible! Looking at your own body is different than looking at other people's body! I-I do want to see, b-but it would be wrong! Even in my previous life, I've never seen naked woman! Born as the only son with four little sisters, I was raised pretty upright and I don't have time to think something like that. I was so busy taking care of my little sisters as both of our parent went to work. When I went to a university, I thought I was freed from my sister but, since I really never read or watch things like that, I just don't have immunity for something like that! It's too embarrassing! When I got my first girlfriend, we just went as far as holding hands! And I have to train hard until I can hold her hand. When Kiel is hugging me, I would feel unspeakably embarrassed, and when she kissed me, I wanted to faint! Even if she's just a kid!

.......

.....

...Um...where is Kiel?

I couldn't feel her position anywhere.

.....

.......

.......no answer

"U.....where's Kiel?"(Rune)

"Eh? That demon kid? I think she's with Arke in the arena"(Kena)

"Arena?"(Rune)

"Yes, Arke wants to measure her strength or something like that. The arena is protected by dimension crystal. One of lady's invention. Not only provide an enormous dimensional field for training, it also prevent any magic from inside going outside the arena and the otherwise. When you see it from outside, it would looked like a small house. You wouldn't think that place as a place for training"(Kena)

T-then after from arena, I-is... Kiel will also take a bath too?

"Let's get moving"(Kena)

"N-no! My heart isn't ready!"(Rune)

Kena just takes my hand and drags me to public bath. Who would have thought there's a hot bath as big as that one in here. Using fire stone embedded in the bath corner to rise the water temperature, the more you put the fire stone, the more hotter the water will be and it was put in the right amount. I was amaze when Kena show the bath for the first time. After that, she brutally strips me from my clothes. Ignoring my plea, she washes every corner of my body. Somehow, I manage to go through it by covering my eyes entire time. But, I just feel like I lost some of my man's dignity....no, they already long gone the moment my mother changed my diaper....

.....

.....

My face's still hot after get out of the bath.  I'm feeling satisfied for taking bath after so long but also mentally tired because of Kena and Lila. I'm wearing Lila's clothes since she's the smallest girl here, but it's still too big for me. Her top clothes become a dress for me, she needs to tie a ribbon so the clothes would fit my body. After that, we just walk toward the restaurant.

"Rune!"(Kiel)

Kiel is running toward me from the other side of the road. It seems she already took a bath. She is wearing a white shirt and long pants, a little bit too big but still wearable. Her hair's tied up and she smells really good even from far..... not good, she just looked too cute after bath...

"K-kiel...where have you been?"(Rune)

"Eh, I just do some sparing with Arke, he promise to teach me some fighting technique and magic spell! After that he just let me borrow his bathroom and clothes"(Kiel)

......aren't you two a bit close? You two just met right?!....somehow I dislike it.

"......huh? You have your own bathroom?"(Rune)

"....yes...since Shena... often busy....she tend to sleep...at her office...that's why...it more easier... to have bath....and sleep....at the center...building"(Arke)

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

"Well, Lady usually spend her day in the office to do some work. That's why her bedroom and bathroom is in the main building. Since Arke is Lady's right handman and also her guard, it's only natural to have his bedroom right next Lady's bedroom. And he got his own bathroom because of it."(Kena)

"Un...since arena...is much closer...to the main....building.....after sparring...it would be...much easier...to lend my clothes...and bathroom..."(Arke)

....I will ask Shena to lend me her bathroom later.

"Actually, I want to ask you to bath together but Arke said you might take a bath already. So, let's take a bath together next time"(Kiel)

"No!"(Arke & Rune)

".....it's...Indecent!"(Arke)

"Yes! It's indecent!"(Rune)

"Huh? But you just took a bath with us?"(Kena)

"You take a bath with them but not with me?"(Kiel)

Kiel just ask me with sad look on her face.

"I-I don't want to take a bath with any other people anymore! It's too embarrassing!"(Rune)

".....you do realize that you're still a kid right? It's alright to take a bath together"(Kena)

"N-no! S-something like bathing together supposed to be done by married couple!....I think...."(Rune)

In my case, I'm a man at heart! Even if I'm in a girl body, you can't bathe with me! I just want to scream those words but I can't!

"Uuu....aren't you cute! To think like that, too cute"(Kena)

Kena is squishing me and rubbing her cheek to mine. But then Kiel just snatches me and glares at Kena.

"......then, I just need to marry Rune right?"(Kiel)

"...E-eh?!"(Lila)

".......eh?"(Kena)

"........."(Arke)

.....huh? I think I heard her wrong?... Why Lila and Kena just looked at Kiel and me with wide eyes?

".....only an..adult can be...married"(Arke)

Married? E..eh?! Did he just said married?!

"..then I will wait until both of us grow up"(Kiel)

H-huh?! W-why it turn out like this? Just because she want to bathed with me?

"Y-you can't do that!"(Rune)

Unconsciously, I scream at Kiel.

"Why?!"(Kiel)

My body is a girl! And you are a girl! Even if you're to grow into my type! Don't you want to have kids and grow your own family?!

As I about to say that. Allan suddenly shows up.

"What are you guys doing standing there?"(Allan)

"Eh..um..we're about to get something to eat"(Kena)

"Then why are you standing around for? Lets go eat together"(Allan)

As Allan said that, he just grab us and enter a restaurant.

......

Right now, we're sitting at restaurant, Kena, Lila and Allan sit right in front of me and Kiel. Arke get back to the main building since he got some work to do.

"........"(Kiel)

Everyone in our table is eating with silent because Kiel is sulking right now.

" Hey, why are you guys so silent for?"(Allan)

Kena just glare at Allan and signaling him to shut his mouth.

"...Rune, do you hate me?"(Kiel)

"....no"(Rune)

"Then, why can't we?"(Kiel)

" Can't we what? What are they talking about?"(Allan)

" Quiet!"(Kena)

"....."(Rune)

Because we have the same gender. I want to say that to her. You can't just declare something like that and make an empty promise, It might be a foolishness of young heart. But you might regret it as you grow older. Kiel is not a bad kid and I don't hate her... I might even like her. That's why I don't want her to regret any decision she made related to me.

"....let's just say if after I reach fifteen and you still have the same feeling, I will accept the...proposal..."(Rune)

In this world, you would consider an adult once you reach fifteen. When I'm fifteen, Kiel should be in her early twenties. She could think much more mature by then.

Now I think of it, I just proposed.....I could feel my cheek grow red...and my man's pride.....it's no longer there....

"Promise?"(Kiel)

"....Yes, I promise"(Rune)

"Then, I'm sure my feeling won't change"(Kiel)

"What proposal? Who is proposed?"(Allan)

*STOMP*

"ACK!"(Allan)

Kena just stomp at Allan's feet. And continue eating with calm face. Lila on the other hand, looking at both of me and Kiel restlessly.

That night, Kiel just sneaks to my bedroom. Kiel's room supposed to be beside Kena's room one floor above my room. She said that she can't sleep alone because when she does, she would get an unpleasant dream about her village. So, she asks to sleep with me. Since we used to sleep together back at the cage, I don't really mind.

Sleeping like this remind me of my sisters. Because our parent usually go to a businesd trip, they would run straight to my bed whenever they have nightmare or thunder. Beside I like Kiel's smell.

"I just can't have any pleasant sleep if I'm alone"(Kiel)

"Then should I ask Shena to make us roommate?"(Rune)

"Yes! That's way we can sleep together forever!"(Kiel)

I don't really think we will be roommate forever thought.... Right now, this single bed can still fit both our body, but I might need ask Shena to put bigger bed if Kiel still wants to sleep with me in the same bed after we grow up.

========================================

I know it sounds a bit weird about how Rune used to be raised back at her previous life. But one of my friend is raised like that, he would grow restless when he sit near a girl. The different is he raised with 3 older sister, one older brother (already work and live in different city), 2 younger sister and one new born little brother. Since his sisters raise him as upright boy, he would get panicked when he accidently saw a kissing scene or slow motion girl in bikini and hurriedly change the channel even if he's fourteen. And when we watch movie with kissing scene, he would cover his eyes by reflex. A really funny guy. (Just for an information, I use my friend experience as prefrence)

thanks for reading (^_^)/
