Chapter 107
"Wait… Reign… what happened to him?"
She panicked as she remembered that she was with Keiji before she lost control of herself. As far as she could remember they were confronting the enemies before the reinforcements came then she didn't know if they escaped successfully. She was worried for Keiji as she had forgotten what happened to Keiji.
Then she looked around, the room was unfamiliar for her yet it was as if she had been here before. Her mind was still stabilizing itself which is why she couldn't tell that it was Keiji's room. Then after that, her eyes lingered on the air conditioner which was currently turned off but the room was still a little bit cold. It was understandable as the earth has almost recovered more than 40% of its previous state which was full of trees and less infrastructure.
It made the Earth's temperature which was so high cool down as the pollution lessened as Earth continued to recover. This was due to World War III that happened more than 200 years ago. The era of nuclear weapons made it clear that it wasn't easy for Earth to recover after the war. It destroys nearly 80% of living beings in the world from those creatures who live in the land, the air, and even deep in the water. The pollution also increased especially the chemicals that spread out of it made humans to be more loving towards their nature.
But due to the damage that the war cost it is expected that the Earth would only recover after more than ten centuries but for some unknown reason, its recovery was faster than they had expected that in just one century it already recovered. And their expectation that because there are so many creatures who went extinct only limited ones would emerge and they were those common animals but what they didn't expect was that some new creatures appeared.
They have gone through changes and new species started to emerge. Because they have adapted to those chemicals that spread through the earth they are now much stronger than before which made them fiercer. This was also the reason as to why most humans still haven't gone far towards the forest and there are still people who are poor. And although they discovered this creature they hadn't really found out the true reason for it. Even though they have adapted to their surroundings it doesn't mean that it would take only a century, but no one was able to point out the reason for it which made it a mystery until now.
Then due to the coldness of the room, she somewhat remembered where she saw this place, it was Keiji's room. She was somewhat relieved but she hurriedly looked around then she saw that her body was full of dirt which also tainted the bed. There's even blood on it which made her somewhat embarrassed as she made Keiji's bed tainted with blood.
But that was not the only thing that made her embarrassed because as she looked down she could see her clothes that were already tattered. The slight blemish skin could be seen especially her soft tummy made the scene a little bit alluring. This made her imagination run wild.
She then hurriedly stood up and exited Keiji's room but then she bumped into Keiji which made her fall back a little. She held her head up while looking upwards. She then saw Keiji who was standing like a statue, looked at her and spoke.
"Good morning"
Mia was at loss for a moment before she replied. "Uh-oh!, Good morning"
She didn't know what to say at that moment as it was already the second time she woke up inside Keiji's penthouse. Her tattered clothes also made her even more embarrassed at that moment which is why she didn't know what to do at that moment.
"You can use the bathroom if you want," Keiji suggested the moment he noticed that her whole body was full of dirt.
"Oh, okay," her voice was low as she said those words. Her embarrassment went even deeper and because of it she hurriedly went into the bathroom that she had forgotten that she did not have clothes that she was going to use. Her clothes slid down out of her body as she removed every piece of her clothes. And as she was going to enter the shower room she noticed that the water in the bathtub was exuding smoke. She knew that it was not because it was hot but because it almost reached the freezing point.
She slowly went towards it before placing her hands on the water to check the temperature and it was really what she guessed it to be. Then as she prepared to enter the shower room a fragrant smell wafted on her nose. It was so fragrant that it made her not forget about the smell. It freshened the smell of blood on her body that was still lingering on because it stayed on her body for far too long. She knew that it was coming from the water in the bathtub so she soaked herself in.
When the tip of her toes touched the cold water it trickled on her and made her body jiggled. It was so cold but the smell of the water made her want to soak inside it. So she ignored the coldness of the water and went inside the bathtub as she soaked her whole body before it. The smell even intensified and made it even more fragrant. The smell was not strong to the point that it would make her nose irritated. It was strong but also not at the same time and that is what she was feeling at that moment that she couldn't get over the smell because it was so good that even though the water was so cold she still chose to dip her body within it.
And what she didn't know was that the water in the bathtub was already used and that is where Keiji had slept. Keiji slept in the bathtub the whole night and just came out just before Mia woke up. But although the water was already used by Keiji it was still clean and clear as Keiji didn't really need to take a bath and just wanted to soak himself in. Mia was clueless about that and continued to immerse herself in the smell that keeps lingering on her nose.
What she didn't know is that at that moment, in the water, an invisible thing was entering her body from every hole that can be found on her body. She felt relaxed even though the water was too cold for her. The invisible thing that was mixed in the water was Keiji's essence which can strengthen her body. It slowly seeped through every pores on her body. The longer she stayed in the water the longer she would get stronger. But unfortunately, all of Keiji's essence was already inside Mia's body and was helping her enhance her strength.
The smell gradually disappeared after she had absorbed all essence from Keiji's used water bath. She then entered the shower room and started using it to shower herself. Droplets of water poured in after Mia opened the shower and it lingered on her body as it slid all the way down. The dirt on her body was removed after that and she also used the soap in the bathroom to further clean her body and as she did so she could also smell that even the soap had a little bit of scent that was the same on the water.
'It really smells good, maybe I should just ask him where he bought this kind of thing,' she thought about trying to ask Keiji about it but at that thought, she suddenly remembered that she was not in her own house. She panicked and as she kept moving she suddenly slipped and his body fell down and her butt touched the floor.
"ouch!" Mia touched her butt. Her butt was somewhat reddish due to the impact of her actions but she did not really look at it and continued to wash herself as she tried to think of what to do. She looked around and found that the style was quite good and a little bit suited to Keiji's cold attitude.
Mia did not know what to do at that moment. She kept thinking as she let the water pass through her body. Then she was finished soon and still didn't know what to do. And at that moment she encountered another problem. She didn't have any clothes or towels which made her hit her head as she had forgotten it and just remembered when she was already done taking a bath.
She looked around and looked to see if she could use anything to cover herself up but then she remembered that she was in a man's house so if she walked out of the bathroom with only a towel as her protection it would not look good.
