Sekito is just about to finish up about Devina when I saw a black hole appear behind her. A hand stretched out holding a red cap.
Wasn't that the same cap Devina showed us? The hand went up and forcefully slammed down onto Sekito's head.
Devina poked her face out of the hole and stuck her tongue out to make fun of Sekito. After that, she left.
"That damn brat… when I get my hands on her."
Sekito is just about to leave my room and tells me to rest up for tomorrow's trial.
That was really draining, losing limb after limb and losing your memories. I am just too tired, I think I am just going to lie down and sleep.
The moment I was about to sleep, the three girls storm into my room.
"Hiya! Were you about to sleep?" Emovi asked.
Marlowlia stands at the entrance, her body wanting to leave. Emovi drags Marlowlia with her and they sit down on the floor.
Aylin took something out of her pocket and showed it to me. It is a bunch of blue flowers.
"They are called Beruyintos. Taste it!"
I took one out of her hand and put it into my mouth.
"Don't bite or chew. Just keep it in your mouth."
It started popping in my mouth and it felt tingly. Like small little bombs exploding inside my mouth. It reminded me of that time I got my hands on some candy that had the same effect. Is it possible that the candy was made from Beruyintos?
While the flower popped into my mouth, I asked what they were going to do now.
Emovi hugged me and said she was going to sleep with me tonight.
Marlowlia raised her hand and requested to return to her room. After waving goodbye she left my room.
"I think I'm also gonna go now," Aylin said.
Aylin left, I and Emovi was the only one left.
"Have you brushed your teeth yet?"
The startled Emovi hid under the table. Refusing to come out. Yanking on her legs, trying to get her out.
"Come out and do it now!"
Emovi gripped the table leg, holding on for dear life.
I released my grip on her legs. She continued hiding, peeking out to look at me leave.
"Hey! Where are you going?"
Walking casually to the bathroom. Taking one of the toothbrushes, dousing them in water, and smearing toothpaste on it.
I walked back to the main room, toothbrush in hand.
"Oh, you just going to brush your teeth." Emovi relaxed.
She came out of hiding and sat on the bed.
Slowly walking up to her.
"So Emovi, what did you do today with Aylin?"
She thought for a bit and the second she opened her mouth.
- Zoom -
The toothbrush flies into her mouth. I grapple her and pin her down. Starting to brush her teeth.
"Auuuuggg, what are you doi…"
"Shut up, your molars too."
Emovi is trying to break free of my subjugation. She is fighting back at her full strength. But too bad… she isn't strong enough to push me away.
She stood up after I finished with all the cleaning. Walking exhausted to the bathroom. She came back, looking all gloomy. She approached the bed with a hunched back and lay in it quietly. Pulling the blanket over her head.
Well, at least that is over. I finish my nocturnal routine and get in bed.
Lying there with Emovi beside me.
"Why were you so mean earlier?" She asked while pouting.
"Well, it is essential you brush your teeth."
"Why?"
"Didn't they teach you that back home?"
There is silence.
"Well, whenever you eat, food particles get stuck on your teeth. There are small microorganisms in your mouth that eat and break down these food particles. Especially the sugar, which is food for the microorganisms. After processing the sugar, they expel acid waste that slowly erodes your enamel. This can cause the bacteria to make holes in your teeth. So you need to brush them to keep the microbes in check."
Emovi looked at me with a perplexed face.
"There is stuff living in my mouth?"
"Well, yeah."
"And brushing keeps them away?"
"Yes."
She took off her cover. Sneaked hastily into the bathroom.
I could hear water running in there. I followed her into the bathroom, where she was brushing her teeth roughly.
"What are you doing?"
"Getting stuff out of my mouth!"
I smacked her on the head and stole her toothbrush.
"Listen, there is no need to brush more than two times a day. You won't be able to get rid of them. They will always be there. But if you don't give them enough food to feast on. Then it should be good."
"They eat sugar right?"
I drag her back into bed. Making sure to turn off the water and lights.
"Just go to sleep, idiot."
"Right back at ya!" Hehe…
When did she learn this type of language?
"Did Aylin teach you new stuff again?"
