While Abbie and Alice were discussing important things in the women's hot springs, Aiden and Alex were also having a heart to heart talk.
"Big Brother, why doesn't Master want to take a bath with me?" Alex asked with a pout.
"I think it's because Abbie is shy," Aiden answered with a smile. "Even Alice doesn't want to take a bath with me no matter how many times I ask."
"I see!" Alex nodded his head in understanding. "It's not that Master doesn't want to take a bath with me, it's just that she's shy."
"That's right." Aiden consoled the little boy who was feeling down a few minutes ago. "I'll give you one more piece of advice. Women are unpredictable creatures. Don't try too hard to understand them."
"But, I want to get closer to Master."
"Just be yourself, Alex. Abbie is a good master. I'm sure that the two of you will get closer in time. What you need to do is become stronger. As long as you are strong, she will always be by your side."
