It is currently white month in mongolia a festival to be exact which is why I didn't post yesterday which I am sorry for,school is also getting hectic with a lot of exams coming up,but don't worry this mighty writer of yours hasn't given up ! To be honest I just don't find time to writing other then weekends or at midnight never less I won't stop ! I will continue with my fantasy adventures !
=============================================================
The serious topic of conversation pretty much ended at this point,I was glad that we ended our conversation at a light tone further more I also didn't want the conversation just to die down so suddenly so while I was cleaning rimulu from the back I also told her a story so she would get a bit more relaxed.
Rimulu acted really spoiled in my presence she almost...no she was like a princess telling me what to do and when to do it as if I was her manservant,rimulu actually didn't like me taking care of her at first if I recall correctly she only let me carry her at first because of rational reason since she was tired in her human form,but further on when I started to tell stories,feed her and ask questions myself rimulu seemed to have gotten pulled by the flow of the situation and opened up to me more thinking of me as a loyal subject or something close to it.
But in the end I didn't mind all too much,she was a child after all if she had fun who said this was wrong in any way after all she wasn't going to clean herself nor could she go hunt and provide for her meals in a way I would temporarily act as her foster father and thinking about it rimulu hadn't mentioned her father up until now...I wonder if she forgot for worry about her mother or because of something else.
In any case thinking of the current flow of the situation I didn't want to ruin the atmosphere and ask something unnecessary rimulu had fun and that was all I cared about,so after a few seconds I stopped thinking about this and simply finished up cleaning rimulu from head to toe,she was a slippery little eel constantly moving around laughing when I touched a sensitive place making the washing all so more harder.
-Rimulu we finished cleaning how about we get out already remember today we will go to the dungeon and search for the flower your mother needs,we aren't the only people who are going to go the other girls in the camp are also going along in fact they are the people you should be thankful since they are going to mainly fight inside the dungeon you understand ?
I declared trying to get rimulu out of the bath as I figured that she would probably not leave without a good reason with the current playful attitude she had,hearing my words rimulu immediately stiffened up,her eyes seemed as if she had just now realized something very important and sure enough rimulu stopped playing around in the water and came out she wasn't all too sad simply nodding to me telling me that she understood,but she seemed a bit grumpy when I mentioned the "Girls" even though she didn't say anything to it.
Her impression of the girls was neither good nor was it bad hobusaku even took care of her and rimulu also knows that without the help of the girls she wouldn't have survived the fight against the white ape,she doesn't admit it,but deep down she is still a bit thankful towards the girls since she knows how useful they are if it was just me alone,I doubt I would of any help really since I am literally just a glass cannon that needs protection all the time.
Anyways,I didn't just loiter around staring absentmindedly,while rimulu was getting out of the bath I also summoned a big towel from my inventory to dry her up so she wouldn't get cold,while wiping her head with the towel rimulu's eyes were constantly directed towards my face it looked very ominous to me,but not in a bad way as in she hated what I was doing no she seemed to enjoy it really which is why her stare was a bit disturbing to me,she didn't even seem to blink as she continued to stare at me in a nonchalant way acting as if I didn't know what she was doing all along or just didn't care if I noticed.
Her long silky hair dried up pretty quickly too with the rest of the water drops on her body soaking into the towel our little bathing session was a bit long,but at least it was worth it since rimulu seemed much more happier now.
After drying rimulu I also proceeded to summon a few spare clothes from my inventory for both of us,the specially tailored clothing from the kobold tailor was both soft and very pleasing to the eyes,the size a bit bigger then my normal size,it was of course intentionally made like this so it wouldn't stick onto my skin or make me feel stuffy.In and out I felt like some sense of normality had come back to me with these sets of soft warm clothing covering my body again it was as if I came back to living in the normal technologically advanced society I previously lived in to be honest those times seemed just too easier to deal with then this.
Concerning rimulu,I had already finished washing her previously attire that I had given her the first time,currently I didn't have anything in her size the smallest thing I had was the orc shirts that were a bit too big for her to wear,it would literally look like a dress when put onto rimulu's little body which is why I simply washed the old attire and made her wear it again even though I knew this wasn't the way how to treat a little girl,but as it turns out rimulu herself didn't mind it,she didn't even think clothing was anything important since her mentality was that of a dragon who don't wear anything,she didn't need clothing,but because she would be cold without clothing there was no way around it but to wear it and personally speaking even if she didn't need clothing in her human form I would be more inclined for her to wear it anyways since open nudity for a little girl like her just seem too damaging to my whole mentality.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
After finally finishing up,both me and rimulu were fully clothed up,clean and ready to go,rimulu needed help to put on the clothing since she was far too unfamiliar with it to know how to put it on properly,but in the end we finished up very quickly and were about to make our way out of the bath.
While leaving rimulu had unconsciously already grabbed onto my hand down bellow I didn't think of it as much really,but still I found it a bit surprising for her to be this clingy.
Further more it is very puzzling why a person like her who doesn't trust anyone so easily would be so carefree around me is it because she still has the mentality of a child to be easily talked with or is it because of me ? Maybe because of my
Either way this is also a form of talent I guess just being naturally liked or popular,there even used to be some guys and girls in my previous world that I shared a class with that had the exact same disposition not all were super handsome,rich or good at sports that made them amazing in any way for people to flock around,but they simply were popular for one reason or another that was unknown their social skills were also very refined and linguistics suggesting that they were used to these connections and developed their own way of handling...
I myself for a person never really wished to be popular,of course I did want friends who I could hang out with and even have a girlfriend or someone to share my thoughts with,but in the end I simply couldn't figure out how to build a connection with someone while being known as a fragile glass pane around every corner of the school in the end I simply gave up and concentrated on everything else instead of building my social life which wasn't necessarily bad nor was it good,but now...
Do I count as being popular ? I do have some connections and my relationship with everyone is pretty fair too a lot of people are under me and follow my lead the respect I give to some people and the respect I receive from them is good enough for either party to acknowledge each other even the loving relationship I have with the girls wasn't just made in one day of course the time span was still fast,but was it because I was someone who they could rely on or trust to have gotten to this point or was it because of something external like my race or my class that connected us together ?
I shook my head momentarily shaking off these thoughts for a moment...Its not like I cared about that stuff the only thing I needed to know was that the girls generally loved me as I did love them the real question here was something completely different...
Do I like being popular ?
I asked myself,generally most people would actually answer with a "yes" and to be honest this was something I craved for a very long time when I was in school so I would have probably also answered "yes" without a second thought,but now...it just seemed too unnecessary the situation was different for it to matter to be exact and to be honest being popular would probably grain me more trouble then it was worth,the girls in particular would get anxious or jealous whenever I would meet another woman for one reason or another maybe even create some scenes in the foreseeable future which wasn't out of question I already had people who I could rely on and receive love from there is no point in adding more and growing hate over time I was happy with the way everything was now after all.
-Sorron,Rimulu is hungry !
Rimulu suddenly said,we were just about to leave the bath heading towards the end of the tunnel towards the outside field,I could still hear the girls working vigorously cleaning up the mess they made,it sounded even more so funnier as the beasts also seemed to be helping from the way they were roaring and crying.
Looking down I faced towards rimulu with a gentle smile on my lips.
-Really,what do you wanna eat then ? I make whatever you want how about it ?
My words rewarded me a cheery look from rimulu as she smiled happily while thinking about what she wanted for breakfast this morning after a few seconds of thought she finally got an answer as she looked up to me again.
-Meat ! Rimulu wants roast meat !
I could only smile wryly hearing her words,it wasn't that I didn't expect them,but it was just that I couldn't believe that she didn't want anything else...
Vegetables and fruits have feelings too you know.
