Chapter 122 - Closeness

After a long session of love, Ethan sighed. This because, he felt his body was already changing.

'That's strange though..why did I unlocked these skills just now, if I obtained them from my heritage..?"

Thinking so, he laid down on the bed again while Ais came up beside him. This, made him wrap his arm around her back as he brought her closer to him.

Glancing at his System to check the time, he saw that it was already 9 P.M, and this meant, they missed dinner as well.

"..Ais, are you hungry?"

Even though he knew he had to tell her about Light, Ethan didn't want to make the atmosphere that was slowly coming back to normal, becoming a mess.

'It's better if I clarify the situation in my surroundings, before focusing on other things..'

The fact he wouldn't be able to interact with her anyway, brought Ethan to think this while Ais nodded

Smiling, he added

"Then, do you want to have a proper dinner? Or should we just eat the remaining cakes from last time?"

His words, made her think about it as, while she was busy doing so, Ethan moved his hand gently around her back..

"I don't mind..either way"

Saying so, she let him do whatever he wanted with his hand as she squeezed his right arm that, was wrapped in her b.r.e.a.s.ts.

This, would normally have the effect of turning him on rather quickly, but, the fact he didn't want to go for a round three, made him bring the blanket, that he placed previously in his inventory, back to cover both of them.

After this, Ethan thought about it as well as, he decided it was better to remain in the room..

"I see, if you don't mind, I will choose. I have a few more things you will really like to eat, and they're not sold in whatever shop we go in Orario..."

Making the cakes appear, Ethan still tried to call Light for the umpteenth time, but also this time, he has not received a reply. This, would normally make him worry, but, instead of being worried, Ethan decided to let this feeling become force, as, he believed, this would help him enter his own Domain even faster than what Light said.

'She said that she would work while I'm not there..I wonder if she's still overworking herself just to finish faster, or if the lesson I tried to make her learn, was successful..'

These thoughts, brought him to close his eyes for a moment before the cakes appeared in the same box they appeared before as Ais immediately piqued the one she wanted to eat first before realizing that something was odd.

"...Isn't this box..full?"

Her question, made him smile as he immediately replied

"Why not? I have nothing to do with them anyway, so, we can just finish them. After this, I will try to make them..."

Thinking about this, brought him to sigh in his mind as, it was Light who had to tell him how to cook, but, there was still no response from her.

'For one way or another, she's always in her mind huh..'

Even if he knew he shouldn't have to worry about such a high-level being, that was difficult for him as it felt rather strange that Light, didn't give him any response, only because she had to work as he remembered that the most important thing she had to do, was to 'watch over him..', but, with his determination still clear, he decided to start his training after talking with Riveria..

The fact he was taking on so many things, all at once, brought him to understand something important.

'Maybe, I should do a schedule of what I have to do in the day..at this rate, I wouldn't be able to remember each and every thing I had to do..'

While Ethan was busy with this, Ais gave him a 'smile' as she added

"I see...let's eat.."

Her words, made him snap out of his thoughts as he nodded. Another important thing he wanted to achieve, was to focus on the person he was talking with, while putting off other things until he finished doing so. And, he was already making progress as now, even if he was focused on something else, he could use his training with the bubbles to immediately bring his focus back on the person he was talking with.

"..Yes, I'll go for the strawberry one today..!"

Taking a strawberry cake from the small box he had on his legs, Ethan was now on a sit position as his back was leaning against the bed. This has always been one of his favourite positions for eating, or just for sitting in his bed. This, made Ais, sat in the same way, with the only difference being that the sheet covered most of the upper part of her body, instead of the lower one, as in Ethan's case.

"..Your body..smells like the cake you're eating.."

Saying so, she took another bite on the chocolate cake she was eating while Ethan furrowed his brows.

"..it's annoying?"

Her question, made her think about it for a moment before shaking her head

"It's..good.."

This, brought Ethan to sigh in relief as, even though he didn't mind having this new 'smell' on his body, he was worried that someone wouldn't like this before Ais added

"..But, I...could feel it changing in intensity..and, sometime, even changing completely..As if it was a completely different smell.."

At her words, Ethan's eyes widened as he was quite surprised from this information. And this because, he didn't think about this at all.

'The smell..can change..?'

This question, brought him to harden his expression as, even though it was nothing serious, it was still something he had to understand.

"So..my body was changing in odour throughout our..."

Seeing her nodding, he was about to ask if it changed in a 'bad' way, but, before she was able to do so, Ais replied

"Yes..but..it wasn't wrong..So..I decided to.. not tell you..as you seemed... quite focused.."

Saying so, Ais looked down as her words, were easy enough to 'understand' but, even if this was the case, he decided to ask her anyway..

"Wait..what do you mean by that..?"

Taking another piece of cake, Ais didn't add anything while Ethan understood she was indeed saying what he thought as, this, made him bring a hand on his forehead.

"At least, did you enjoy it..?"

His question, made her look away as, she replied with a 'Yes' before Ethan decided that the fact his smell could change in some situations, was another thing he would have to ask Light.

After bringing this thought in the back of his mind, Ethan quickly thought about something that would start a conversation between the two as, the atmosphere that radiated in the room, quickly started to 'calm' down...

While Ethan was busy with Ais, Light just finished the interior of the villa as she released a heavy sigh. This because, she wanted to update Ethan's status, but, that wasn't all.

"I forgot to tell him the most important things regarding his skills, as well as The Status Update, which is incomplete without my work.."

Staring at the 'incomplete' version of Ethan's status, Light sighed as she was trying to contact him from an hour or so, but, she quickly understood there was something wrong. The only thing that missed, was that she couldn't find out what this was, so, she could only stop thinking about this and wait for him to be able to enter his own Domain, without any kind of help..

'It will be difficult to do that alone, but, Ethan has my mother's genes in his body, he should be able to master it, now that he knows he can..'

Her thoughts, made her nod as, the determination to continue working was even more accentuated compared to before. In fact, she managed to complete the villa's interior, as well as the starting part of the training building.

'I..won't give up!'

Cheering herself up in this, way, Light closed her eyes before immediately returning to work on the interior of the second building she had to do..

---

After Ethan and Ais tried all kind of things, they eventually went to sleep as, even though it wasn't late, and he didn't have to go to the Dungeon, they had to participate in another meeting, this time, with all the core members.

As Ais explained, while he was sleeping, they had several small meetings, were Loki asked them questions regarding what happened, as well as deciding what to do with the injured. Even if they wouldn't talk about the fact they were 'targeted' because of Ethan, that doesn't mean they would be happy about the rumours. So, Loki, decided to give them all a small compensation to let them get around this issue without spreading even more rumours...

---

Waking up, Ethan remembered the conversation they had regarding what they had to do in the evening as, he looked at Ais' sleeping face.

This, made him place a hand on her head as he gently patted her before kissing her neck.

"Ais..I will go to prepare...I have to go to the date I told you yesterday.."

Whispering so, He raised from the bed while Ais was still sleeping, but, he knew that she understood he would have to go to a date today as, the thing wasn't that relevant for her..

After he exited his own room, Ethan headed towards the bath room as he decided to bathe there.

'It's still 6 A.M. I believe there should be no one in the bath..'

Even though he decided, with Hestia and Lili, to see each other at 9 A.M, Ethan knew it would take quite a while for him to finish talking, both with Eina, and Syr..

With these thoughts in mind, he was already in the bath as he removed his clothes before taking the towel...
