LIGHTNOVELONLINE HEabem and thighs
[Seiji's POV]
"Good talk." I said while sheathing the sword on my back.
I might not suffer any visible cuts or injuries but I was beyond tired and I was sore all over due to the shockwave that the demon threw at me like candies on Halloween.
'Definitely going to feel worse tomorrow.' I thought while taking a closer look at my body.
Although I did not kill the demon with one strike like Giyu did in the anime, I was still happy with the strength I displayed against the lower moon demon.
Now I had a clear picture of just how strong I was.
I was probably strong enough to take on any lower moon - although the first and second may prove to be extremely difficult - and I was definitely at the level of Hashira.
A Hashira who was on the weaker side but a Hashira level nonetheless.
I suppose if my body developed for a few more years, I would be able to fight against the likes of Upper Moon themselves - of course, excluding the top 3.
Coupled with the improvement in skills and the breathing styles I would eventually learn and master, I would hopefully be even stronger than that.
Raven flew down and landed on my head. A small smile tugged at my lips as I asked, "Did you see me, Raven? Was I cool?"
She gave me an answer by tapping on my scalp.
Indeed, I was pretty cool. Her words, not mine.
My smile got wider at her answer. It was already great that I got to slay demons but looking cool while doing it? That's double great.
Raven tapped at my head with her small little feet again, telling me that someone was approaching me from behind so I turned back.
"You...you really did it." Shinbu said as approached me. There was a hefty amount of surprise and awe on her face.
"You killed the demon by yourself." she said and bit her lips. "Even though you are the same age as me."
Then she carefully looked at me up and down before saying, "You're hurt."
"No I'm not." I said and a small trail of blood flowed out of my mouth,
I blinked and then took a detailed X-ray look at my own body.
"oh." was what came out of my mouth. I actually suffered quite the injury internally. I sat on the ground and Shinobu quickly ran up to me.
I guess all of the shockwaves that hit my body - although not a direct hit - caused a lot of trauma internally. Coupled that with the over-abuse of Thunder Breathing, this was the result.
"Don't worry, I have some medicine that can help you." she said and rummaged through the small bag that she was carrying before she took out a few pills.
"Here, this will stop the pain and this will stop the bleeding." she said and came close to me.
Too close, too close.
I panicked in my mind as she brought her pretty face near my face. As you would expect from someone like me, I was not good at dealing with the opposite gender my age. Especially if they were someone I find extremely attractive.
I did not show that on my face though. Outside, I was stone cold.
"Your face is heating up." she said, I could feel the heat in her breath. She put her hand on my forehead to check my temperature.
"Is it a fever?"
Luckily, raven came to my rescue as she shooed Shinobu away like a protective girlfriend. I took a deep breath and relaxed my body as much as I could.
"I'll be fine after some sleep." I said. The constant use of my eyes in such a high-intensity fight also caused mental fatigue. Although it was getting better, the main drawback of my eyes was always mental exhaustion which caused me to need more sleep than normal.
I laid down on the ground, "Shinobu, can you stay with me for a few hours, thanks."
And I was out cold.

When you have eyes as good and as sensitive as mine, you learn to truly appreciate the beauty of the sun while also loathing its glaring rays.
And this was one of those moments when I absolutely loathe the sun.
The bright rays of the sun fell on my eyes and my lids were too thin to stop them completely. It woke me from my slumber and its unforgiving light made sure I never returned.
Shit.
It was uncomfortable since the rays were falling right on my face yet I did not move a single muscle. I did not turn my head or cover my eyes to stop the brightness.
Why?
It was because of the soft supple pillow I was sleeping on. They were not actually pillows and if you've read as much as me, you would know instantly what they were.
Thighs.
No, you read that wrong. I didn't say heaven - even though it's pretty close.
I said thighs.
Or maybe you're not wrong because aren't they the same thing? Tomato, tomata and all that jazz.
So as much as it was uncomfortable on my face, it was extreme comfort on the back of my head. And right now, the comfort eclipsed the discomfort.
So let me stay like this for a while. No, fuck that, I should stay like this forever. Should I just die like this?
"You're awake."
Shit.
Don't move, she might just be saying stuff.
"I know you are awake."
You're deaf, you're deaf. you're deaf.
"I can see you peeking." she said and it was then that I realised indeed, I was looking up at her and reading her lips. I did not know when I opened my eyes but I instinctively did and now it was over.
"....."
"I can't get up. My back...it hurts." I said and she stared at me with a dead face.
"There were no injuries on your spine or back. I checked," she said with a closed eye smile.
So it's really the end.
I sighed and sat up. I cracked my bones and stretched my arms before standing up and checking my surroundings.
We were still in the same place, the only difference was that Shinobu dragged my body someplace under a tree.
"How long was I asleep?" I asked.
"9 hours." she said.
I felt bad instantly, "Sorry for the inconvenience. How long did I use you as a pillow?"
"Oh, don't worry about that. I only let you rest on my lap after the sun had risen. You were talking in your sleep and seem to be having a nightmare you see." she said.
"You said something about demons robbing you of everything and....something about your sister." Shinobu said. I could see a hint of pity on her face. As someone who loved her sister, she felt sympathetic.
Is that why she was giving me a lap pillow?
Well, thank god for my unresolved issue. Whoever said traumas were bad? Like all things in the universe, even trauma had good and bad.
I laughed at my own thoughts while looking away from Shinobu. It never felt good as a man to see pity from a girl he finds attractive.
Speaking of which, is it weird that I find her attractive? She's like 13 and although she was more developed and mature than girls in my past life, she was still not a woman.
Is it because I never crossed the age of 13 in both lives? Or am I just Drake?
And this was not like a physical attraction I felt for a random beauty I saw on the street. This was more like, 'Oh, I can see us marrying and having kids' kinda attraction.
Whatever, let me shelf that feeling for a moment and say it's due to my budding teenage hormones.
This world infested with demons was not a good place to fall in love. Especially with a character that I know is going to die in her pursuit of revenge.
Love comes after I wiped the demons from the face of the earth, never to take my love again.
"You never told me your name?" Shinobu said, bringing me out of my thoughts.
"Oh." I said, feeling a tad bit embarrassed at my mistake.
"Well, my name is Seiji Shigan. Thank you for taking care of me."
