With the sun shining vibrantly, I headed back to the base. "The weather here is pretty nice."
As I arrived at the door, I found a body slouched on it, their behind reared up facing me. Normally i'd get excited and be forced to act, but I can tell by the size and shape. That is a man's behind.
"Tch, disgusting."
The person had his face down but slowly raised it and turned to me, " ahh nero…yo."
"Remen, what happened. I haven't seen you in days?"
The man flashing his behind by the entrance is remen. How indecent, does he not know how to behave? People could see.
His clothes were rumpled, and some parts, soggy.
"Yeah…one of my shimas had her coming-of-age ceremony at the church a few days back. And ya know what happens after, right? I'm drained."
No, I do not know what happens; tell me. Also, what is a shima?
"We partied and went at it for days….I took so many things, man. My sense of time got lost in the process," he said with a heavy gag. He then covered his mouth and quivered.
This guy is pretty fucked. "Oh…what's a shima? And coming of age party? What's that? To be honest, you are gonna have to explain everything in detail."
"What? Were you born outside the central continent? It's common knowledge."
If I knew about my origins i probably wouldn't be here, would I?
I sat down beside him and leaned back.
"Well?" I said with my arm out.
Remen, who at this point was on all fours, sighed and joined me.
So, basically, children are considered adults at 15. At that point, most people usually do a ceremony at the church, you know, the one with the fat bird, as a milestone. There is more to it, but Remen has no idea.
That means I am an adult…I don't know how to feel about that, to be honest.
"So your shima just became an adult, huh?" Shima means girl, like his girlfriend or a beautiful girl.
"Damn right," Remen smirked, "been waiting on her for months, and it was worth it. We went at it for days."
"When you say went at it…you mean sex?"
"Ya"
Aahhh! Why is everyone getting it but me? For days, too, I'm still stuck reminiscing about a kiss. I do want to kiss more, don't get me wrong, but this guy is getting the main course like it's nothing.
My mouth was left gaping as I stared. Remen chuckled, "Don't worry, you will get some. Remember I said I'd show you a thing or two on how nobles work?"
"But…" she's gone.
Remen, seemingly sensing my restraint, acted, "well they don't have to be nobles. A woman is a woman, I have got ya nero."
I smiled. This guy is pretty fun to be around and nice too.
"Well…so how was it? I need every single detail!"
"Calm ya panties…it started with–"
Remen seems to be a charmer because, from his words, he didn't really do much. Maybe they like his looks? I can't really tell if he is that attractive. I don't look at men, but he has adventures with many other women. Freaky, exciting, and some just felt wrong. I want to live this kind of life.
It looks like that's how he spends his time.
After a while, we went straight into the kitchen, where Remen drank like a thirsty horse.
"I need some proper sleep. When I wake up, we can head to town," he said, scratching his right eye.
What am I supposed to do till then? "Yeah, no problem."
As he was about to head out the door, Yuna walked in wearing a baggy buttoned shirt that reached all the way to her thighs. She had a cup and a book in her hand. They almost bumped into each other.
"Ah, sorry."
Remen stopped and sent a sharp glare at her before clicking his tongue, then left. What was that just now? Were they always like this?
Yuna glanced my way, then continued to the kitchen counter. I haven't said a word to her in days, and I have barely seen her, too. She was the one who helped me with Maya; if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have known Maya was leaving. I should say something.
I went up to her as she poured a brown powder into a cup of water. "Yo, Yuna. How have you been…"
"Fine," she said as she kept pouring more into her cup.
"Me too, I have been fine too. With no missions lately, not a lot happens here, huh?"
"I suppose, missions usually come once a month, so there is a lot of freetime"
"Right!" I said with a smile. She hasn't looked at me once. "How do you pass the time?"
"Reading."
"Oh…what do you read?"
"You wouldn't know." That's not the point of the question. She can be so difficult. "Do you know how to read?"
Yuna asked, sipping her cup.
"A little bit"
"I see," she looked at me, but immediately averted her gaze when our eyes met. She finished making her drink and began to head for the door when my nose picked up a familiar sweet smell.
She is drinking that drink again, my god, I'd love to have some. I will come back for some, now I know how she makes them.
But before I forget, "Yuna! Thank you for your help with Maya. Your help means a lot to me." She is probably gonna disappear to her room for the rest of the day. So better now than never.
Yuna stopped, gripping her cup tightly. She pursed her lips, a little flustered.
"Nero, would you like to join me in my room?"
Oh my... Yuna, I never thought.
"YESS!"
