Chapter 440 - Human beings have needs.

Locked alone in the Library, well not with a key but more of a psychological kind of way since he wants to live down that embarrassment that just happened.

Calling himself stupid for accidentally kissing that lady above the lips, he feared the most what Ada will feel about this when she finds out.

Sure that Ignite lady just tried to make the young Electus comfortable and even called herself his sister, but it was still very inappropriate and most saw it happen.

So he plans to tell Ada himself before she figures it out from someone else's banter. Banter can get a lot more dangerous so he can't let it run wild and risk his bond with Ada.

She is the best Human being he ever met, the epitome of perfection so such a risk can never be granted with the capabilities to grow bigger. 

Yes well he will tell her a bit later, now he wants to live down that harsh embarrassment. Ever since the Clawed Demons started attacking Gaster Kingdom he hasn't been able to put in much training.

And with the King heavily busy, the young Electus can't train his Fire Controlling powers so it is best to put in the few free Hours learning more about Healing.

Even this is a problem, since Ladia is usually here to roughly translate what any of the thick book's Content mean. But with her down in the Dungeon, using up her Stamina to tame deep cuts and blue bruises, he doesn't have the slightest clue what anything in the book means although he has been trying for approximately 2 Hours.

Hilariously sad, but at least he can live down that embarrassment that happened earlier here. With no particular progress fished out from the Book of healing made for Hatchlings, he decided to grab one of King Michael's Romance Novels that Stefan kept talking about.

It's a bit hard to find these however, since the specific genre small and the room has literally four walls of books!

But using his logic just a tad bit, he decided to look for those with the least dust on them. Opening one book which has a title that sounds peachy, "Loving an Ignite, a true story." He figured out that it truly is a Romance Novella when he read one verse of the book, saying. "His Royalty grabbed the Castle maid and pinned her head against the wall."

That little sentence spooked him enough to skip this book, although 16 he still feels like Romance is not for him! Instead he bounced his way to the animal research books, grabbed a book about bunnies and thought. "I need to wash that off my mind."

Since maturity is bouncing as a topic, we shall not fail to take the 15 year old Ada into consideration. When her and Eric met, she did not know what l.u.s.t is.

It's tremendously puzzling how she admired asses, literally. Admirring animal, female and male asses even as long as they are shaped nice. And she is still admiring them, but l.u.s.t was never a fuel to this admiration. It was just a weird hobby, preference.

Now, she feels the effects of growing up. Although not physically, she is still pretty short. She does feel changes internally, such as urges and needs.

Thankfully she fancies Eric and he fancies her regardless of racial differences, so she isn't lacking male attention and is often seen clinging to Eric's arm and sometimes smacking his ass.

Although ordered to stand side by side with Lady Toto for progression purposes. Toto has gone home to take her break, eat food and such and using the free time Ada sneaked her way to the Library. Hoping that Eric will be there although she understands that the odds of him reading a book are thinner than a Goblin Demon's chin.

She finds him trying to understand what the much researching King Michael has written in this book, his hand writing isn't the best as if he wanted to make these books for him to read only.

Quite adorable in her eyes really, she caught him moving his head back with his eyes mostly closed, trying to figure out just what in hell's name the King wrote. It is fair to say that he mostly forgot about the romance book.

Trying to tease, noticing that he is a bit sad but just guessing it's because of the book. She tried to lift his mood up, "Well well well, look who's reading a book today. You must be very bored."

Getting a little flashback of what happened in the past hour, he is certain that boredom did not strike today. "Bored... no. I'm just trying to hide from everyone for a while, and hoping that I will never see a few people again."

Tad scared, she asked. "You still want to see me, right?"

Nodding over and over, Eric repeated. "Yes yes! Always! I meant to say that I got embarrassed a while ago in a room full of people."

Grabbing a chair and sitting near him, she said. "I'm listening."

...

Ada shouted, "You did what?"

Trying to prevent any big argument from happening, he waved his hands in front of her and repeated. "It was an accident I swear."

Not understanding what Eric is talking about, Ada expressed. "No I mean why did you make such a big hussle over kissing an old lady on the cheek?"

Thankful that this situation didn't go for the worst with Ada, Eric simply answered. "Because of you. I wasn't sure how comfortable you would be with this."

Although Eric's talking at the moment, with kissing mentioned a couple of times she remembered an ill.u.s.tratian couple kissing each other's lips in the middle of the road a few days ago, and yet she still wonders why they kiss lips.

So, she gently snuck her hand underneath Eric's chin and pulled his attention completely. Reaching for his lips after, she landed a two second smooch but it was more of a peck since both of them don't know what's happening.

Although the kiss over, their faces are still close to each other. All Eric can say, is. "That was... nice."

Feeling a bit entitled, Ada added. "Well at least now you can consider me as your first kiss. First full kiss at least, although I still don't get the point of this."

Confused along with her, he pitched a theory. "As far as I've heard recently, the point is to feel good doing it and that did feel good." Thankfully he isn't too shy this time, he feels very comfortable around Ada.

Ladia walked in the room, with no shame whatsoever she shouted. "Wo ho ho... you two are breeding like rabbits here." Apparently she is a bit more informed about such topics, although both of them don't want to hear more about it.

Not shy about what she just did, Ada stated. "I was just curious, plus he has the cutest little mustache."

Shocked, Eric swiftly turned his head towards Ada and slightly yelled. "I have a mustache?"

King Michael walked in at that very moment and said, "Relax, they are just a few bits of hair, you can cut them off soon."

Curious of why everyone has gathered here, the King asked. "So what's happening?"

Continuing to live and talk without shame, Ladia answered for them. "These two were kissing."

Ada is fine about this bit of information being spread between friends, but Eric is still a bit shy so he just glared at Ladia, hoping she will shut up.

Bewildered, King Michael asked. "This early? Nonononono and no! You should both wait until you are 40 or something."

Continuing her raging storm of shamelesness, Ladia pointed out. "Miss. Alama 28. But you smooch her in Kitchen."

Rubbing the back of his head, embarrassed obviously although he is the grown up here. All he could ask is, "Oh, you saw that."

Ladia instantly advised, "Yes, close door often."

...

Confused, reading one portion of the book about 7 times now, Ladia tried to translate. Hoping that the King will understand, "What does, wiggle the limbs mean?"

Uncertain regarding why would such a training exercise a power move would take part in a book about Healing, all the King could think of is. "Maybe it's some sort of stretching exercise, before casting a power move?"

About this, Ladia knows a bit more and she didn't fail to put it into word although not the best at the Ignite language. "No. Stretch at page one. This is Healing."

Getting more curious about this Healing move, although not a fan that Ladia has gone through half of the book without knowing the basics first, he encouraged. "Try it out, wiggle your arms and do whatever else the move requires."

Since the King is on board with this as well, she stood up and read the scriptures a few more times to memorize it properly before trying. 

The first thing she needs to do, is step forward and then backwards. Feels more of a dance now come to think of it.

Second, she needs to wiggle her right arm and then her left. She also needs to keep her arms stretched forward as much as possible in the process. 

Last but not least, while keeping her arms stretched forwards she jumped with little effort but tried to slap her feet against the ground as much as possible.

Although not the most effective, green light bursted out of her palm but this time the light is formed less like an orb and more like a snake, rivering it's way around the room before finally reaching Eric's foot.

"My foot finally stopped itching." Eric pointed out.

And without thinking this through much, King Michael revealed his theory. "Looks like this move locates the worst wound and heals it. What does the book call this move?"

Not sure how to translate it, letting silence stretch for a few seconds before she answered. "The wiggling Snake."
