《In Search of a Protagonist》09 - Bath
Advertisement
Drei was paralyzed for a good 20 seconds thinking of her entire twelve days of life, what could she have done to make Adel mad? Nothing came to her mind. Of course I had no idea either.
After this amazing life's reflection she summoned enough courage to stand up and open the door. Thank Mother Adel was no longer on the second floor, and we waited for Zwei to open the door.
"What did we do?" Stress could clearly be felt in Zwei's question.
"I have no idea!" Drei is just as stressed and afraid, poor them…
"Lets just go already before she gets mad at us for making her wait or something like that" Yes, probably a good idea, that mad woman is just too crazy to play around, seriously.
They went downstairs together, side by side, fear for their lives even taught them how to hold hands. Adel was standing on the middle of the floor, arms crossed waiting for them.
"Why didn't you clean yourselves?"
"What?" That's the only possible answer here, what??
"Since I'm in charge of this house I can sense everyone's mana inside it, and I know you did not bath after going outside, I want to know why." Were they supposed to get baths now? Why? We only bathed once until today and never again, she never got mad or anything. Never even mentioned bathing after the first day…
Everyone looked confused to one another….
"...So...rry" Zwei manifested herself in only one word, Drei kept looking confused on the side.
"..."
"..."
After some awkward silence Adel seemed to get her anger aurea under control and understand no one knew what she was talking about.
"Did I not explain that you should clean yourselves if you go outside?"
"...No..." they took a second to answer.
After another weird silence Adel facepalm herself and…
"...Ah… Ok, sorry about that" she apologized? Did not know she was capable of doing that… And what's the deal to get angry with something as simple as that? And forget you yourself did not explain something? Is she that stupid? That's it, I'm calling Bakadel from now on.

"You should clean ourselves everyday. And every time after a physical training session... if you go outside to play you should also bathe before going to bed. You should always be clean before going to bed and not dirty your bed… you should keep yourselves clean as much as possible."
"...may I ask a question?"
"Yes, go ahead Drei… you can always ask if you don't understand something, it is my sole purpose here to teach you things like this…" Really? I'm afraid you will 'recycle' one of them if they ask you a question that you don't feel like answering.
"Why didn't we bathe until now?" I was wondering about that, that's for asking!
"Ah.. ah... That's because you were unconscious almost the entire time. If we sum up the time you were awake for the last 10 days it wouldn't even be 5 hours. Since you were just sleeping there was no need to force you to bathe… of course, that's no longer the case for you two."
"… ok… but… we walked outside on the first day... from Mother to here..."
"Ah, that… Well, it is complicated, but basically... that was a special night, everything was purified by Mother, hence no need to clean anything, but that only happens once every cycle."
"I think I understand… Thank you"
"Yea.. well, if you understand then lets go" lets go where dear Bakadel?
Well, they followed her anyways, not like anyone here to be crazy enough to not follow her when she clearly said to do so.
"I just finished training myself and also need to shower, I'll take this time to teach you how to clean yourselves correctly, be sure to learn so you can teach the other three."
"Yes!"
We got to the bathroom, and Adel did the most amazing thing like it was normal… I mean, it probably is normal, but neither I nor the children had ever seen this so, we were amazed by the sight.
Adel whispered something and her white dress began to transform itself into small light particles that floated into the air above her head, condensing themselves into a small ball of light. Once all her clothing had vanished the ball of light descended into Adel's hand, she closed her hand, squishing the ball and it vanished without a trace.

I know I say all the time that things here are magical, but this was truly magical! Maybe a little like a mahou-shoujo transformation, but to a naked state.
I must say tho, I take her to be sexier with clothes on. She has a beautiful body, don't get me wrong, it is just that… I was human, you know? The lack of nipples, bellybutton, genitalia and all, is still weird for me. Feels more like she is wearing a full body suit than being naked. But with her small dress? My imagination takes place and… well, let's just say I like my imagination better than I like reality… but that was true for almost anything, even when I was a living being…
ANYWAYS… back to reality…
"Will we learn how to do that?" This time it was Zwei that was brave to ask something
"That what?"
"That thing you did with your clothing, that was incredible!"
"Oh, yes, eventually you will"
"Was that magic?" Drei joined the conversation
"Ah… yes… I guess it is magic"
"That so cool, I really want to learn it"
"Yes! Me too, magic is so nice, and you were beautiful surrounded by light!"
"Ah… yes, I guess it is practical" I can clearly see Adel's mood improving, was she liking the compliments? This… well, she is stupidly lovey-dovey when it comes to Mia, and obedient, almost like a trained pet.. so… maybe not that unexpected that she likes compliments? If the girls notice this too their lives should be easier… hopefully they do.
"Ah... enough of magic, here… This is soap, you clean yourselves with this" She gave them both a normal looking bar of soap. They took it and followed as she walked to the showers.
"Turn the water on like this… " They copied her every move, each on one shower.
She started to teach how to clean their bodies.. And she was ACTUALLY teaching them this time… amazing!
But then she proceeded to wash her hair with the same soup as the body… maybe here is different? Because I'm sure if I ever did this on Earth my hair would end up all dried and terrible. I also had long hair, and I guarantee it was impossible to wash with only body soap and end up with beautiful, untangled, silky and shiny hair. When I was a kid I tried and I ended up with what my mom would call a 'bird's nest'...
Here tho? Their hair was amazing during and after bath, the feeling of the soap was good both on the hair and skin… I don't know what this is made of, but would be a revolutionary product back on Earth!
Once they were finished with the shower, Adel led them to the bathtub, and they soaked themselves together for a few minutes before leaving. They were mostly in silence during the entire process, only listening to Adel's instructions. So much for the good mood before the bath, I thought this was the perfect time for them to talk and connect a bit more….
Once finished Adel grabbed a few towels and threw them.
"Dry yourselves with this, and once you finish you just hang it to dry so you can use the next time, and we are done." Then she performed some magic again, and a small ball of light appeared on her hand, then floated on top of her head, started to expand and break down into smaller dust like particles, and formed her same dress again. After the small lights went down she not only was wearing her normal clothes but her hair was also dry… so convenient…
"Now you may go to your room and rest, I'll call you for the next session if you are not awake by the time"
"Yes, thank you!"
They went back to their rooms to sleep, and this time no surprises happened.
We were able to nap for a few hours, it was a good rest… and we even managed to wake up before the next Seontto training.
The training was good again, all five of us were awake at the end! Total success!
