Wuussh!!!
A strong wind suddenly parted Eric's short hair. Well, since the fire incident a few weeks ago, Eric did cut his favorite long hair.
The cold weather was piercing to the bone. Eric's hair stood on end now. Eric seemed to be affected by the girl's words.
Eric rubbed the nape of his neck many times. Eric said to himself.
'Why is the air getting colder, huh? Then, why suddenly the situation is getting tenser, huh?
Come on! Eric Ludwig had always been afraid of 'ghosts'. After all, it's still very early, it could be that the ghosts haven't returned from their residence yet, Eric thought.
Eric got up and moved away from the big tree earlier. Now, Eric sat beside the girl who managed to scare Eric for no reason.
"You've been here often, um?" asked Eric, well-known.
Eric didn't know why he did such a thing. Maybe Eric just needed a friend to chat with at this point. It was also possible that this was Eric's attempt to make the unfounded fear disappear immediately.
"Often in fact. In fact, almost every day I go to this place. Oh yes, I want to tell you about the tree," said the girl, pointing to a large tree in the corner of the yard.
'Ouch, what's with this girl? Why does he keep trying to scare me, you see? But, I'm also really curious,' Eric thought.
"What's with that tree, eo?" Eric asked, curious.
"The big tree is a tree that is inhabited by thousands of 'unseen caterpillars' that are visible to the naked eye. The unseen caterpillar only preys on a man. The unseen caterpillar absorbs the aura of a man, and a man who is absorbed by his life energy, will grow old faster than his age.
"Here, only my sister and I know the whereabouts of the demon worms, Sir," said the girl so convincingly.
"Shit! Why should I believe what you say, huh?! You could be just bragging," said Eric, smiling disdainfully.
"It's up to you, sir! Just so you know, I am the granddaughter of a 'holy woman' from Bharata Country. The country that has the oldest religion in the world and is famous for its mystique," said the girl again.
And now, Eric Ludwig seemed to be affected by whatever the girl named Nana said.
The girl named Nana smiled mysteriously. A moment later, Nana got up and walked away from Eric.
Eric really had no idea why this girl was more mysterious than Rafael when Eric and Rafael had only met a few years ago.
Eric felt alone and did not let the girl go.
"Hey, wait!" shouted Eric as he chased after the girl.
Swoosshhh!!
Suddenly a strong wind came back, making several small tree branches fall.
Eric realized something had landed on the nape of his neck. At this time, it even managed to get into Eric's back shirt. Sifeng immediately panicked.
"Aakh, what is this?! What's on my shirt?!" shouted Eric, trying to reach for the foreign object that was under his shirt.
"CERTAINLY IT'S A DEVIL CATERPILLAR!" shrieked the girl.
"WHAT?!" shrieked Eric, looking so panicked and still wagging his hands behind his back.
"HELP ME GET THAT ANIMALS, PLEASE!" asked Eric, whining like a child.
"How can that be, Sir? Take off your clothes first!" the girl ordered earlier, which made Eric immediately flinch.
However, a few seconds later Eric seemed to be influenced by the girl's suggestion, he obeyed Nana's orders. Perhaps the result of Eric's excessive panic as well.
"Gosh! You're in your pants too, Sir! The demon caterpillar is wriggling in the back of your pants. Gosh!" said the girl, shocked.
"Aaakh! Really?"
Eric was jumping up and down like a child who had stepped on dog poo.
A moment later, Eric also finally took off the pants he was wearing. Eric reflexively handed over his pants and shirt to the girl.
Eric is now only wearing a black singlet and shorts at the moment. There is a winning smile there.
Well, who else? The girl of course. Grandpa's strange neighbor, Nana.
"Eric, what are you doing, huh?!" A voice startled them.
Rafael Ludwig had just come to the courtyard with Hana. Why are they together? Of course, it was Hana's mode that wanted to return Rafael's clothes. Remember about the bet between Nana and Hana?
"Brother! I ... I ... I'm going to take a shower, hehehe ...." Eric couldn't help but feel embarrassed. There were two girls and his brother who saw Sifeng only wearing a singlet and shorts.
Eric ran quickly to the onsen and threw himself in. Eric felt very embarrassed. In fact, Eric felt that he did not want to return to the surface before everyone left the courtyard.
Hana was still stunned by the show she had just seen. Her five fingers covered Hana's gaping mouth.
"Sis! What did you do to that master, eum?" asked Hana, as if she couldn't believe that her sister had actually taken on such a difficult challenge.
Nana didn't answer. She just smiled while showing off the shirt and pants in her hands. Well, that was of course Eric's pants and shirt.
"Yuhuu ... I did your challenge, Hana! Look! I managed to get that top uke's shirt and pants." Nana said proudly.
Hana walked closer to Nana. They both immediately did a high five.
"Well done, Sis!!" Hana wrapped her arms around Nana's shoulders, her sister.
It felt like Rafael was really 'dead lice' at this point, as if Rafael had to bear the brunt of his little brother's behavior.
Rafael didn't feel like recognizing Eric as a younger brother. Rafael walked over to Eric, who was still submerging himself in the onsen.
It's been 5 minutes, but Eric hasn't surfaced yet. In fact, Eric really likes freediving. But, should you do something like that?
"Get out, you idiot! You really dropped our image in front of those two girls, Eric!" Rafael grumbled, annoyed at his brother.
Slowly, Eric's head came to the surface.
"There's a 'devil caterpillar' that will absorb my life energy, Bro!" Eric complained to his brother.
"What demon worm, huh? You're still sane, right? Do you still have a brain, Eric?!" Rafael snapped, crouching at the edge of the onsen.
A moment later, Eric began to realize his stupidity earlier. How could there be such a caterpillar in this real world? Eric thought.
Then, Eric glanced sharply at the two girls, who were not far from him.
The two girls were seen laughing out loud. One of them threw Eric's clothes into one of the branches of a large tree.
After that, the two girls walked embracing each other, approaching Rafael and Eric who were still stunned.
Hana whistled nonchalantly as she passed the onsen, where were the two young men who the two Akaziwa girls had bet on.
For a moment, Nana looked at Eric who brought out Eric's half body in the onsen. Water drips through the curves of Eric's muscles
"Wow, fantastic, Babe!" Nana muttered, giving her a mischievous smile.
"Hahaha ...!" Hana and Nana then laughed as they walked behind Rafael, who was at the edge of the Onsen and Eric who was still inside the Onsen.
Eric Ludwig felt cheated. Eric hit the surface of the water roughly, making a big splash.
"Aasshh, damn it! How dare they! Why do you have to have thug neighbors like them, huh?" shouted Eric, annoyed. He was confused about who to vent his anger on. So, all Eric could do right now was beat the surface of the water.
Rafael looked disapprovingly at his brother. He was really embarrassed by Eric's behavior.
Then, Rafael pressed Eric's head into the water firmly.
"Why are you showing up now huh?! Stay in the water, you idiot! You've really embarrassed me, Eric!" Rafael snapped at Eric.
Rafael watched the two girls drift away. He just smiled faintly.
So, this is how they play? Rafael also felt that the incident that happened to his clothes being hit by a cappuchino yesterday, was also a trick of the two girls. The two girls had already fooled Eric and Rafael.
What troublesome girls, Rafael thought.
***
Hana and Nana are sitting relaxed on the long sofa. Not far from them, Mr. Takahashi was struggling with the papers that were on his desk.
"Grandpa, we really don't understand how to run a company. Our mom and dad went to Bangkok for three months. They told us to take care of a temporary company. Huuft ... how can this be?"
Nana complained to the old man who was a few meters away from her.
"So far we are free to go anywhere. Afternoon shopping, night clubing, and so on. How can we sit quietly in the office, Grandpa? Huwaaa, as if our freedom has been taken away," said Hana, looking so sad.
"Aakh ... I feel that we're going to grow old from our age at this rate, Hana." Nana hugs Hana. They are both too much. They mourn their fate.
To be continued ....
