Chapter 9 - Bottom.

"So you kicked up to his balls?" an old woman asked, who is busy brewing a tea behind Yumeko, near the fire stock.

"Umm...yeah," Yumeko replied in an unhappy tone. She keeps her eyes on the cup she is holding with a dejected look as granny slowly pours down the tea.

"But...I don't know if I should have done that. He looked like he was so much in pain."

"Listen, Yumeko never feel bad for destroying a man's nut sack. Just never." Granny shoots a fiery glare at Yumeko as she said that.

Narrator: Age 60, Yumeko's grandmother-in-law. Her name is [Ultima] It has been almost 2 months already since she transferred to the castle.

Despite being part of the royal family, Grandma Ultima wears simple clothing, a purple linen shawl that covers her head, and a one-piece full-body skirt of greyish color. She has an appearance of a simple old lady with a simple intention.

"In my time, I used to be known as the "Nutcracker Queen." Grandma Ultima said as she pours down the remaining tea into a cup lying on the table.

"Nut..cracker....." Yumeko uttered it softly, while not understanding the meaning behind that word.

"What was his name again?" Grandma Ultima asked.

"Jack...Jack Ash.."

"For a guy having a name Jack Ash. He deserved it. You did a great job Yumeko"

"Umm ok..."

Because of the pains and loss, she suffered not a too long time, Yumeko is having a hard time processing her thoughts.

"By the way..grandma. Can I ask you something?"

Grandma pulls up one side of her eye and looks at Yumeko. "Hmm?"

"What is a bottom?"

"Huh???" Grandma Ultima let out a shocked expression as she hears that.

But Yumeko is serious about this. to know the meaning of a bottom.

"So before I left..."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After picking up the letters Yumeko tries to leave Jack's house. Then-

"I am...just saying...but.." Jack said in a painful voice as he grovels on the floor while looking at Yumeko. "You should stop being a bottom...."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"He said..I should stop being a bottom" Yumeko softly said while holding the tea cup tightly.

"Oh, my...spill the tea," Grandma Ultima said with a gleeful expression as she sits down on her chair to enjoy herself.

"Spill the tea???" What is Grandma thinking? Doesn't she know it is super hot!

Narrator: It seems Yumeko has misunderstood the meaning behind those words.

"But it is hot!" Yumeko said with a serious expression.

"What do you mean, Yumeko? All teas are supposed to be hot." grandma Ultima replied casually.

Ehhhhhhh...is she really serious about this? Should I really pour the tea on her?

"Grandma are you really serious about this?" Yumeko asked as she start panicking.

"Of course, Yumeko. I am serious about it."

What should I do? what should I do? Grandma is serious about this. Should I really pour the tea on her face? I mean grandma does say bizarre things once in a while I wonder if she actually meant by it when she said those words.

Narrator: Sweats start to run all over her face as Yumeko lies in dilemma about whether she should spill the tea over her grandma or should not.

Grandma extends her arms and softly grabs Yumeko's hands.

"Is fine Yumeko. Grandma won't judge you. So just pour it out." Grandma Ultima said to Yumeko with a nice smile.

Narrator: But behind her smile lies an evil intention.

"You won't get angry...?" Yumeko said in a sorrowful voice as her head hung down low.

"Nope"

"Ok then..." Without wasting any moment Yumeko pulls up her cup in the air and throws out all the content at Grandma Ultima's face.

[Splash]

"My face..my face...AHHHHHHHHHHHH" Grandma Ultima screams in pain as the hot tea splashed all over her face. Just like she asked.

"Didn't I tell you it is hot!" Yumeko shouts to defend herself as she sees her grandma running all over the room.

"Yumeko you dumb child. That is not what I meant when I told you to spill the tea."

Grandma Ultima grabs the towel which is hanging down from a hanger on the wall and wipes out her face.

"At this rate...you won't ever survive in the outside world Yumeko, leave alone becoming a Nut Cracker Queen"

Hearing those Yumeko feels heartened. "Sorry, Grandma..."

Grandma Ultima's face has all turned red after receiving the hot tea from Yumeko. She goes to her chair and sits down quietly with a swollen face.

"So how do I stop being a bottom? Grandma" Yumeko asked seriously.

Grandma Ultima looks at Yumeko with an annoying face then slowly changes her expression. "Become a Top, Yumeko. hahaha," Ultima smiles out, while still enduring the pain in her face.

"Top...?"

"If you become a top, you don't have to worry about anything in this world. Even your bottom ex."

"Jack is a bottom? How can you tell that, Grandma???"

Narrator: As always Yumeko asks these questions very seriously and wants to know every answer. For some reason, after Jack called her a bottom, it has left a serious scar on her mental self.

"Because two bottoms don't make up a top, Yumeko." Grandma Ultima replied casually.

"Two bottoms..don't make a top...I have seriously no idea what you have been saying all this time, Grandma" Yumeko holds her head and starts lamenting.

"Maybe being a bottom is a serious disease. I need to somehow cure it.."

Grandma Ultima is somehow enjoying the whole drama Yumeko is putting out, but at the same time, she is getting annoyed as it is getting late to execute her precious plan.

"Listen, Yumeko have you heard the story of Alice in The Zombie Apocalypse?" Grandma Ultima asked.

"Alice in The Zombie Apocalypse?" No."
