It's freezing! She shouted.
It's okay, Milady. He smiled as the blood from her body washed off, You can bear a bit of it just for a while. It will make you warmer. He poured another bucket on her and she shivered. The areas where humans had touched her were burning. She shrieked.
Look what they did to you. Lict filled another bucket of water.
Akagi and Melissa stood at the balcony and looked at them through the fog.
What is he doing? It seems to be really painful. Akagi asked.
It's purification, Milord. Star spirits do that when they feel that their master's soul is contaminated.
What if your soul is contaminated? Can we do purification?
No, you can't.
Then?
Just kill us.
...How messed up rules.
After a while, the burning stopped and she stopped shivering. The cold water felt warm.
We're done. Lict wrapped a towel around her and picked her up. He took her to her room and lay her on her bed. I don't feel cold, Vierne said as she removed her clothes while Lict stood outside her room.
That's because when you bathe in cold water, your outside body temperature and the surrounding temperature become equal and so you lose less heat, keeping you warm.
Do you bath like that every day?
Yes. I don't like hot water. Lict waited outside for a while. Then, he slowly turned red, Milady, what about my gift?
Gift?
The parade I won,
'Oh, the one with Akagi? Did he promise him some gift? And why am I unaware of it?'
Milady?
What was the gift again?
You don't remember?
No
...Then, let it be. I'll wait until your eighteenth birthday.
Akagi and Melissa sat inside his room. He was working on his laptop while Melissa stared at him.
Melissa, He looked at his screen, Do you like me?
Oh? Melissa smirked, Of course! I love your face. That dick is just a bonus!
Not like that!
Then?
I mean romantically. Do you have feelings for me.
Of course! She wrapped her arms around his neck, You are my master after all,
You like me because I'm your master?
Also because you're hot!
What if I weren't?
Meh, then I won't like you!
What if someday you meet someone hotter than me?
What's up with you, Milord? Are you jealous of Vierne and Lict's relationship?
Stop reading my mind
Melissa laughed and pressed her cheeks on his, Everyone has a different relationship since we all have different personalities.
I agree.
However, I love our relationship most,
Huh, good for you—
And if someday I meet someone hotter than you, I'll show him how unlucky he is since you're the one who still gets to have me and not him.
Akagi continued typing.
Hey, are you listening?
Go away, Melissa. Stop disturbing me.
Heh. I know you're happy after hearing that.
I'm not. Stop flattering yourself.
Then, I'll flatter you. Oh my lord, I dreamt of you last night and when I woke up this morning, I was drenched.
I don't want to hear more.
Don't you wanna know why—
Absolutely not.
We had sex!
