Rou removed the blindfold over his eyes when everything went quiet. The girl named Erina was not a quiet girl, that feeling Rou got.
Immediately Rou focused his gaze on two golden eyes in the darkness, which could match the fur of the tiger cubs, looking at him like a small piece of meat ready to attack.
Rou covered his body with a leather blanket he held close to him, as if he were a maiden about to be defiled. "Girl, stay away," Rou said.
The eyes in the distance were too well hidden from view. Before Rou could react, the attack came at his side.
"I wonder why the master held back her desire," Erina said slashing at the fatty's skin, with what appeared to be her claws.
"What are you talking about, why are you acting like this," Rou said noticing that the wound on his skin was too shallow.
"You don't know it yet, but around you there is a special energy, one never seen before in a man like you. I lie, no man has a hint of energy, what makes you so special", another cut came to Rou, this time he felt his skin was kissed, and between the small flashes of darkness Rou noticed something, she was naked.
"Are the women in Gali's village crazy like that," Rou thought.
Erina was like a carnivorous animal that hadn't eaten in a long time, in a moment, Rou's arms were locked on the bed, with an amount of strength far beyond his own.
"We're still just getting started," Erina said in a seductive voice.
Rou's vision gradually became accustomed to the darkness, with just a glimpse he was able to get an image of Erina's youthful figure, which was smaller than him.
"Aren't you afraid that your teacher will find you in this state," Rou asked. Although he was not against Erina's attack, he was not going to take advantage of her without understanding her true intentions, if there were any.
"You've said it before, my master is no longer here, besides I dismissed the only guards in the healing area, with no one to bother us, there's plenty of time to try something I've had in mind since I heard about your arrival," the bandages over Rou's body disappeared, the wounds on his body were nowhere to be found.
What kind of situation was that, a girl younger than Rou was overpowering him, his body and mind could not accept it, but what could he do, his strength was weak and he had no way to escape.
Rou was silent, while Erina didn't restrain herself to touch Rou's body, she was curious of Rou's acting, who had stopped resisting when a few minutes passed.
"What are you up to," she asked as she saw Rou's closed eyes.
Rou didn't open his eyes, instead he took a big puff of air and puffed out his cheeks, "I won't talk to you," he said convincingly.
"Ah...are you a little boy," Erina said in disbelief of Rou's actions.
Rou kept his cheeks puffed out without saying another word.
"Well, for my plans, that's not important, if you're going to stand still, so be it," Erina attacked Rou's lower half, who was only covered by a leather loincloth.
"Girls in this village have no shame, if I were her father I would have taught her a few things," Rou thought, but no matter how much he waited for the mysterious feeling of Erina's hands, Erina froze looking at his lower waist.
"Rou...what does this mean," Erina asked looking up with a flushed face. "Because it's not firm like in the library books, besides what's wrong with that size," Erina added coming closer to take a closer look.
His faithful companion who accompanied him in these two lives was asleep, leaning on one of his legs just a few inches away from Erina's face, feeling her breathing.
Rou shook his head, "You seem to have a vague knowledge of the human body, it's not like my companion would prepare for battle just because you showed a little skin. But let's leave that aside, what kind of library do they have here for a girl like you to find an adult book," Rou took the opportunity to cover his partner with a piece of cloth, but was stopped by Erina.
"Don't hide it, otherwise I won't be able to complete the ritual, I need it to be firm, otherwise...", Erina looked at Rou with sparkling eyes.
What kind of man was Rou, as much as the girl in front of him was literally asking him to wake up his partner, Rou tried to control his emotions so as not to take advantage of the situation, he had barely seen her once, Rou's eyes had not strayed from the dark blue hair that was held by a ribbon at shoulder length.
"Don't look at me like that, maybe I can do something, but before I act I need you to explain yourself, otherwise I won't help you," Rou took the opportunity to stand up and fix his body, which still had some bandages on it.
"It's okay," Erina sat down on the ground and crossed her legs.
Rou looked for a moment at two juvenile mounds that were exposed only an arm's length away. Erina was a beauty of the quiet type, as was a senior high school student president, with kind eyes, ready to help others' problems without asking for anything in return.
"I couldn't take advantage, could I," Rou was struggling with his own reasoning when Erina spoke again.
"You asked about the hunters earlier...".
"Yeah, at that time you started acting weird. Also, what is that strange energy you were talking about?", Rou looked at his body, he didn't feel anything strange about it, it just seemed to be that his body was in good condition after spending a whole day under the embracing sun outside.
"In Gali...no, in all the villages, and I could even say, in all the world I know, no man possesses energy in his body, at least that was true until you came here," Erina looked at Rou, who seemed to be thinking about her words.
"You were on the outside, weren't you?", Erina asked.
"Yes, everything is dead on the surface, there are only rocks and molten earth," Rou replied.
"According to the words of the old women of our village, the air currents that run through this world possess a corrosive energy that only attacks men," Erina took a pause, and handed Rou a piece of leather with a drawing on it.
Rou could recognize one of the colossal shadows in the drawing, the birds hiding above the clouds were giant crows, which had a high destructive power. Moreover, among them seemed to be some that could use fire as a weapon.
"That is a ghost, there are many kinds and although they look like giant birds, they are actually beasts formed by the corrosive air that absorbed the energy of men for a long time. Because of that, every man born in this world has no way to use the energy to improve his body and gain abilities."
If Erina's words were true, that meant Rou was in danger. He had only been for a day or two on the surface, his body must have been affected by the corrosive energy, which could lead him to be weaker in the future.
"No need to be startled," Erina touched Rou's shoulder. "After so long, the air currents have lost their corrosive effect, so your body won't be harmed by it."
Rou process Erina's words, his body seemed to have an energy that attracted the attention of Master Gine and it was possible that it also attracted the attention of the women around him. Besides, men all over the world were weaker than women, both physically and in the amount of abilities possessed by those who were called slayers.
"That book you were talking about, what does it ask you to do," Rou looked at Erina, who hid her face under a small book, which Rou couldn't see where it came from.
Erina held out the book and Rou took it.
"Kamasutra????", Rou was perplexed, without wasting a second, he threw the book away from him and snorted. "Girl, you shouldn't be looking at this stuff, besides, it's impossible that it can help you to be stronger, where did you get that idea?".
" Master Gine taught us since we were little that in that book there is the secret to get a new ability like the ones she got", Erina quickly took the book and brought it to her side.
"So your teacher is shameless, I think I will soon go visit her to get an explanation of the things she teaches her little apprentices", Rou prepared to take one of the leather suits hanging on the wall, when a soft hand stopped him.
"I think you are confused, our teacher would never teach us the wrong thing," Erina said.
Rou had to give in, maybe he had made a mistake, he was not in her world now, the rules or common sense in the place he was in might be different from the one imposed on his mind, so, seeing the look on Erina's face, he sat back down on the floor and picked up the book from Erina's hands.
"Kamasutra, chapter 1...," Rou began to read aloud as Erina settled down next to Rou so she could hear his words better.
Rou had heard of the book Kamasutra, it was a guide for people who were bored with their sex life, that was the common thought for those who didn't know their true purpose. In the pages there were ways to seduce both sexes, ancient methods to make aphrodisiacs or how to lead a love relationship in the healthiest way. But the book in his hands had something more, every form of courtship, every posture between lovers and even the manufacture of elixirs had an added bonus, life energy.
At first Rou did not understand everything written in the book, the images of naked people in suggestive positions had taken a back seat, while the knowledge was clinging to his memory.
"Erina, what is that?" asked Rou as he recognized a crystalline fragment on one of the pages.
Erina looked at the crystal in the book and her eyes glowed, she quickly pulled something out of the bag that was lying on the floor and showed it to Rou. "This is an energy container, thanks to these crystals slayers can become stronger," Erina said without worrying about her nakedness.
