After a short while , Luchia enters the living room with a cup of hot basil tea , just like Kiro asked .
-Finally
Luchia hands over the cup of tea to Kiro and he takes a sip .
-I added honey instead of sugar , how does it taste?
-It tastes great . So , What's for dinner ?
-What would you like ?
-Let me see ...
Kiro thinks for a second and says :
-Grilled vegetables , and some beef .
-Anything else ?
-And make something for desert ?
-Like?
-A strawberry cake would nice ?
-You got it chief
Luchia leaves the living room and Kiro takes another sip from the cup of tea . Kiro then lies on the sofa feeling sleepy . Then he gets up :
"I need to take a bath first ."
Kiro leaves his coat in the living room and heads to the bathroom slowly . He starts to take off his clothes along the way until he reaches the bathroom . He enters and grabs the towel , then he immediately jumps in the water . He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath of relaxation . Then he thinks :
" Wait , I didn't prepare the bath "
He opens his eyes and lifts his head up , to see Vallerie having a bath on the other side , looking uncomfortable and blushing .
"The bath was so steamy , I didn't even notice her !"
Vallerie then lowers her head , and starts getting closer to Kiro , slowly and shyly .
Kiro starts blushing himself and says:
-Hey...wait, what are you doing?
-But .... didn't you come .... for....
-Just.....stay back , don't make the situation anymore akward than it is already....just don't come any closer please.
-I'm ... sorry
Vallerie starts blushing even harder . She gets back at the other side , but it was obvious she wasn't feeling comfortable .
"I wish I could just leave but the water feels so warm, plus the steam will make it hard for both of us to see each other "
Meanwhile , Luchia had finished dinner.
"I have to send Vallerie her clothes at the bathroom , she mentioned a while ago she would be having a bath until Kiro came back "
Luchia picks up Vallerie's maid uniform , then she heads to the bathroom . Along the way , she finds Kiro's clothes lying on the floor .
"Kiro you mongrel , couldn't you be at least more careful "
Then , she notices that the clothes formed a trail that led to the bathroom . She thinks again for a second :
"Wait , If Kiro has gone to take a bath , but Vallerie is still bathing herself ... No ... That perv"
She approaches the bathroom , then she opens the door slowly , leaving her unnoticed . She sees Kiro and Vallerie bathing on the opposite sides of the bath . Vallerie looked uncomfortable, she was blushing hard cause of Kiro's presence. In the other hand , Kiro looked relaxed , he had closed his eyes and was resting his head, He was blushing too, looking in the opposite direction, feeling a bit uncomfortable himself
Luchia steps in and says :
-Kiro you mongrel !
"And when I thought things couldn't get any more awkward "
-What is it?
-Are you serious , how can you enter a girl's bath like it's nothing and act like it's all normal .
-I swear I didn't notice her , besides , I haven't seen a thing .
-Just keep your eyes closed until Vallerie leaves the bathroom .
-Sure go on .
-Don't you dare peep on her !
-Can you two just leave already .
Luchia hands Vallerie a towel and they both leave , while Kiro kept his eyes closed . As soon as they leave , Kiro releases a huge sigh of relief .
" Finally , I can take a bath in peace ."
He keeps his eyes closed , as he feels relaxed and well rested .
"Well , that was awkward , Now I feel like a perv "
After a while Kiro finishes his bath , then he remembers that he threw his clothes on the floor on his way to the bathroom . He shouts:
-Luchia , can you bring my clothes here ?
Luchia shouts back saying :
-That's what you get for throwing you clothes all over the place , get them yourself.
-Fine
Kiro wraps a towel around himself and starts picking up his clothes outside the bathroom . He dresses up quickly and heads to the dining room. Luchia appears to be smiling .Vallerie was still blushing . Kiro takes a seat , so do Luchia and Vallerie . Luchia starts serving the food , but she leaves Kiro with the smallest plate .
-Are you kidding , come on .
-Take it as a punishment for entering Vallerie's bath .
-I told you I didn't do that intentionally, I thought the bath was empty .
-Couldn't you at least knock ?
-You massive hypocrite , how many times have you entered my room without knocking ?
-This doesn't mean you can enter a girl's bath like that .
Vallerie felt even more embarrassed , she started blushing harder . She stands up awkwardly and leaves .
-Great , did you have to bring that up to the table .
-Like it's my fault
Kiro gets up and catches up with Vallerie .
-Aren't you going to eat dinner?
-I'm.....sorry
-No I'm sorry , I should have left the bath , but the water just felt so warm .
Vallerie gets a little bit more comfortable .
-Next time I'll make sure to knock .
-It's alright , besides , nothing happened , right ?
Kiro blushes a little bit , then he says :
-Let's just forget what happened and let's have dinner.
Vallerie smiles and says :
-Alright , as you say .
Kiro and Vallerie enter the dining room , then they both take a sit. Kiro pulls out his dagger and cuts a big slice from the cake .
-What do you think you're doing?
-I got the smallest plate , so it would be fair if I got the biggest slice of cake .
-That's unfair put it back....
Kiro takes a big bite out of it .
-Sorry , what were you saying ?
Luchia turns red out of rage .
-You.....you.....you mongrel
-Yeah yeah , I don't know about you but I'm feeling sleepy , see you tomorrow .
Kiro leaves the dining room with the slice of cake he cut and heads for his bedroom. He eats the slice of cake , undresses and collapses on his bed . His eyes start getting heavier and heavier , until he decides to close them .
