"Big brother I wish to see after my bath!"
"Mm, would you like me to help you?"
"Eh, young master you can't!"
Au Fuji paused, then turned, looking sharply at the servant who spoke out.
Lipid eyes, bangs, pale skin, smallmouth straight nose, and oval face.
Au Fuji suddenly came to a realisation that this girl looked like an eyesore.
He had been speaking with his little breeze, but this servant spoke up to block him.
The servant still spoke up even though he looked down at her struggling not to flare up.
"Young Master, your body is a bit...you can not take a bath with the young miss."
Au Fuji felt his face heat. Still, he had an indifferent look.
But his mind was truly raging.
This servant seems to be a talkative one. What is a matter with his body?
Quai Victoria frowned from the side, her little sister is a bit too frank no? stepping forward to block the young master's sight Quai Victoria spoke trying her hardest to keep her tone even. "Young master... this... ah, you see the young miss is becoming much more aware. When you were smaller it was fine, but now..." Her words trailed off.
Au Fuji suddenly understood, but he did not bother to pay them any more head and continued forward.
Instead, he entered the inner room with his small precious bundle with the small servant girl. Pursing his lips, he decided to create a sheer divider to separate them but resulted in both still being in the same bath.
He could hear and see her outline, but could not hold her and bathe her himself.
"Little wind, do you like the milk I have specially brought back?"
"En, big brother is the best. I can feel the relief already against my skin."
"That is good. I have gifted a few to grandmother, with the accelerated growth they should bore fruit in less than a month."
"Big brother, that is great."
For Au Fuji, these trees were not an issue since he had first gained the seeds.
They grew in the Laoi valley, which is not that far away.
Even though a tree is usually quite hard to find, he had been exploring for a few hours a day during his free time.
Another exciting thing is since he had ranked up and tinkered with his wristband he could also teleport to certain locations.
This is something a child his age or rank could not do.
Not even his grandmother or Little breeze knew. He felt it was not right to hide it but felt it would be too dangerous to let anyone know.
On the eighth day of his search, he had found the tree deep inside a watery cave.
The tree was not that tall; around three meters only with four fruits and a dark violet tone. The bark was silver-white, and the leaves were flat and wide, with jagged edges.
The water splashed and rippled; it had a cool feel to it.
At his rank, the slight chill did not affect his body much.
He had also been slowly tempering it in a way that it could be stronger.
The small girl is too precious. He could not allow her to come to harm.
Turning his head, he looked at the small girl on the other side frolicking in the water, Au Fuji thought that perhaps soon he would be able to soon openly watch her and hold her in his arms without a care, he simply had to be patient.
Slowly sucking in a breath, he turned away and exposed his slim throat by tilting his head back, then closed his eyes.
Many weird images rapidly glinted behind his lids right before they faded and he relaxed.
He had to leave soon, return to the Au main branch and visit those elders, see his father and the second wife.
He had no desire to, but he had to. This is-
Sigh, he should simply relax first and consider those things another time.
He looked down at the hand that did not look like a small child but that like half an adult.
His innate talent passed down from the Kai family lineage is something many envied. Accelerated growth.
Would his body be like this otherwise if he did not meet her?
Or would he be able to cultivate so many Minkuren fruits so he could produce the amount of milk necessary for this bath?
He chuckled. Of course not. He would probably be dead.
If not dead he would be simply living for living's sake, still too weak to use his brain and power. His grandmother would still be weak, perhaps she too would have died causing the Kai family, what remained of his mother, to be gone forever.
"Big brother, I will be going first,"
Au Fuji lifted his head, dispelling thoughts that almost drowned him. The small girl he watched on as her shadow swam to the edge and sprang from the medium bathing pool.
Two servants stood at the edge, with the smallest being that girl who held a towel in her arms before passing it to the bare little breeze.
Au Fuji felt extremely unwilling. But what could he do?
Au fuji could not snatch her from a young servant girl. He had to act like a young master, and one that was not jealous of a mere servant.

NOTE:
I mentioned before the hours, days, months, and years. Don't forget that a day is around four days and a month is like three in this world.
So say, if a child — like our lead is seven, in actuality his mind is around twenty. Their body is maturing slowly but not their minds. Some may act their age though, but others will be way ahead of others.
I just thought I should mention this, to clear up anything in the future or before.
