At that moment, everywhere went dark and Renjiro found himself back in the tub, he shook his head trying to regain his sense of direction and by the time he steadied himself he discovered that the water was still as hot as it was before he fell into the trance, this meant that time did not pass from the second he fell into the trance till he returned.
A few moments later he saw a beautiful busty dark skinned maid with a large birthmark on the right side of her face, the birth mark only covered the area around her eyes. From Zephyrus memories he remembered her name to be myoko.
Ever since he returned from the trance he discovered that he had complete access to the memories of zephyrus, this made him exceedingly glad since he wouldn't have problems with blending in or explaining to people why he had no memories of his past activities, he also noticed that the language they spoke in this new universe was completely different from all the languages he heard from his time on earth.
Myoko helped Renjiro wash his hair and towel it dry, then she offered him a dry towel so he could dry his body, Renjiro took the towel and stood up without bothering to cover up his body, myoko's face flushed in embarrassment and she turned around quickly to avoid looking at him.
"young master are you done yet" she sputtered in embarrassment
"yes I am" Renjiro replied
She handed his clothes to him while avoiding his eyes and hurried out of the room. On her way out of the room she startled the blue haired girl who stood outside the room waiting for Renjiro to be done.
"this might be not be the afterlife but it might just be better" Renjiro thought to himself happily, he was interrupted when the blue haired girl kicked the door open.
"lyra!!!" Renjiro muttered and appeared to be shocked
She noticed that he was not looking at her in the face and followed his gaze, then she saw that he was looking at her panties, she blushed immediately and attacked him.
"you dirty animal, what are you looking at" lyra growled at him
"well I was not expecting you to barge into the room like that, and when you did something white and shiny crossed my eye and I couldn't help but look" Renjiro pleaded
"I know that a lie, why did myoko rush out of the room like that? What did you do?" lyra asked
"I don't know, she handed my clothes to me and ran off, its not my fault she weird" he replied
"I don't know what is going on with you but I would be waiting by your door, don't waste my time" she said and shut the door
"she sure is intense, and it also sucks that I still have to go back to school, It wouldn't hurt to be reincarnated into the body of a grown man" Renjiro thought while trying to put on his shoes.
He looked at himself in front of the mirror and he was impressed by what he saw, he wore a plain white shirt and gray pants. His current body was over six feet in height and which was considerably taller than he was when he was on earth, the body also had well defined muscles, he felt lighter on his feet and stronger too.
"Not bad" he thought to himself and picked up his bag
"I'm ready now" he said to lyra who leaned on the wall and was humming a strange tune that made him uncomfortable.
"what's that tune you're humming to" Renjiro asked
"it's none of your business, stop bothering me!" she replied and increased her pace as she navigated her way through the castle corridors
From memory Renjiro was very familiar with the interior of the castle and lost himself in his thoughts for a while, he suddenly felt a sharp pain at the back of his head and he turned to lyra sharply.
"What was that for" he asked angrily
"you were spacing out again bozo, I'm sure you are thinking of something indecent" she replied with a smirk
Renjiro decided to ignore her comment and got into the vehicle, the vehicle was painted black and looked very sleek, it had no tires and it was hovering over the ground, Renjiro had access to zephyrus memories but the piece of technology in front of him still amazed him, he stepped into the vehicle and proceeded to help lyra get in.
The interior seemed to be very comfortable and spacious, he also found it very shocking that the vehicle had no space for a driver, neither were there any steering wheels in it. There were large panoramic windows which gave him a complete 360 view of everything around the vehicle, and also touchscreen panels.
"this world seems to be a bit more technologically advanced than earth was" Renjiro thought giddily
Lyra operated the touchscreen panel in front of them and picked a location which the system estimated to be about twenty minutes away from the present location. The vehicle soon zoomed off and Renjiro got to see a small but bustling town that bordered the family's castle lands.
The streets were neatly arranged and they were adorned with baskets of flowers every house seemed to have It's own garden with different colorful flowers and trees in them, there were workshops and stalls in virtually every corner of the town, with artisans and vendors trying to sell their different goods.
"why are acting like you this is your first time seeing this, we see this every day on our way to and from school. You have been acting very weird since the night of the festival" lyra chided
"I am not acting weird, I am just appreciating the beauty of nature, if I didn't know you very well I would say you are getting jealous since you haven't been getting a lot of attention from me since last night" Renjiro teased.
Lyra punched him in the guts and huffed before looking away, after a few minutes a grand building came into view, Renjiro couldn't help himself and gasped again, it seemed like with every passing second this new world got more amazing.
