After a few more minutes, where Mikahil and Aika were just chatting, they both left the library.
"So, Aika, are you going to stay at my place tonight?" Mikahil asked, looking at Aika with the system screen minimized, showing Praia's whereabouts, as he followed a route where he wouldn't encounter her along the way.
Mikahil wanted to have his reunion with Praia only on the day of the ritual, which would be tomorrow afternoon, considering she arrived in the village today.
"No, I'm not mentally prepared for that yet..." Aika began to hold onto Mikahil's arm tighter after saying that.
"Oh, but what if I told you I won't do anything? Would you go then?" Mikhail asked.
"No... And that's the reason," Aika raised her finger to Mikahil's forehead, stopping in her tracks and looking seriously at him. "You've been free for just a few days, and the moment I come out of the bathroom in a towel, it would be over."
Mikahil made a terrified expression. "Saying that hurts. I don't reach that level..." Mikahil paused to think about what he's been doing in the past few days. "Well, maybe just a little, but I have self-control, you know? Haven't you seen all these years?"
Aika looked at Mikahil, judging him. "You were forced to do that by the rules, you rascal, but speaking the truth..."
Aika sighed and said, "I just don't want to, so as not to bother Nina. As her caregiver, she has priority during the nighttime, and it would be disrespectful on my part."
Aika now held his left hand tightly. "So let's just enjoy the the walk there. We still have plenty of time to make the most of it."
Mikahil smiled and shrugged. "Alright, let's do that. It's better anyway since you need some training," he said playfully.
"You ruined the whole atmosphere, Mikahil," Aika shook her head, chuckling lightly.
' She's right, there's no need to act like a maniac without stopping. I need to focus on my goals.'
As they walked towards his house, Mikahil looked at Aika's face and thought, 'Man, I'm glad I was born here.'
Thus time passed, and with a little help from the system, Mikahil arrived at his home without seeing Praia
"Sleep well, Mikahil," Aika said, bidding him farewell with a quick kiss.
"Same to you, have wonderful dreams," Mikahil replied, smiling as he watched Aika distance herself.
On the other side of the door, he could hear a sigh, and then Nina's voice asking, "Did you have a lot of fun?"
"Yes, it was great. I didn't expect her to take the clothes talk so seriously," Mikahil said.
Nina opened the door, observing the expression of sheer satisfaction on Mikahil's face. "When Aika sets her mind to something, she really commits to it."
"Is that so?"
'Oh... I guess I shouldn't have said that,' Nina thought, noticing Mikahil's smile filled with ulterior motives.
' If I can plant some ideas in Aika's mind... ' Mikahil was contemplating a few things he could achieve without resorting to abilities like hypnosis.
Nina took Mikahil's hand, saying, "Stop thinking about silly things, Mikahil." She pulled him inside the house, then let go of his hand and placed her hands on his face. "Are you very tired?"
"Hmm, I'm never tired," Mikahil replied with a smile, reaching his hand to grab Nina's rear and giving it a firm squeeze.
"Uff... Let's take a shower then and clean that body," Nina said, releasing Mikahil and stepping back a bit. She turned around, removing her pajamas, and stood completely naked. "Enjoy the view until we get there," Nina winked and started walking toward the bathroom.
'My goodness, what a wonderful butt,' Mikahil thought, ogling Nina with his eyes.
Nina stopped in front of the bathroom door, turning around to show the graceful and lascivious sway of her breasts that, as they descended, met Mikahil's gaze with a waterfall forming before him. "What are you doing, Mikahil? If you keep just using your eyes, you won't get to enjoy my hands," she teased.
"Oops, I'm coming, Nina. I just got lost in your beauty," Mikahil replied.
"Okay, okay, I am truly irresistible," Nina said, opening the door and stepping inside first, while Mikahil followed a few seconds later.
Outside the house, a woman stood a few meters away from Mikahil's home, blending into the darkness of the night, with only her red eyes and hair standing out.
With an air of superiority, the woman spoke, "Mikahil, so you've already begun spreading your seeds without my permission? You damned man, I will make you pay for this."
Thus, the night passed with Mikahil having a great bath, with every part of his body being cleaned by Nina, both of them enjoying themselves before taking a second bath and quickly falling asleep after the session.
Currently, it was a few hours after dawn, starting the middle of the day, when Mist entered the house of Nina and Mikahil, full of energy, and called out, "Mikahil, Mikahil, are you here?"
"Huh? What's the rush, Mist? Why are you so desperate?" Mikahil asked, sitting at the table and having lunch.
"Today is the day, or rather, it's now! Come on, let's go," Mist said, adjusting her posture and clearing her throat. She saw Mikahil looking at her from the chair, still smiling without moving.
"What I meant to say is... your first partner, the one chosen for your first ritual, is waiting for you in the arena. She wants you to go there now," Mist began to walk towards Mikahil, continuing to speak cheerfully, "Finally, I'll be able to see this because when I was born, this didn't exist."
"Really? Praia already waiting for me?" A big smile formed on Mikahil's face as he pointed to the door, saying, "Then, Mist, could you please let her know I'm coming?"
"Huh? But I wanted to take you there... Why can't I?" Mist said, a little disappointed.
'Ohh fuck,' Mikahil sighed. "Don't be like that; I just didn't want you to see me like this." Mikahil stood up, showing that his pants and underwear were down.
Seeing this, Mist made a smug face. "Heh... So, that's it?"
"Yes, it's embarrassing since I was eating like that, but it's also because I was too hot, you know..."
"Hehe, we've seen everything and then some of each other, so I don't mind, and I won't stop you from doing what you want," Mist got close to Mikahil, dressing him while giving kisses on his neck, then moving up to his mouth. "There, now let's go. You don't have any complaints now, do you?"
"Well, if you don't mind, then no, I don't," Mikahil replied.
"Great, then let's go!" Mist turned her face to the table, saying, "And Miss Nina, you forgot to draw the curtains; I could see the shadow on the tablecloth."
After saying that, Mist tightly held Mikahil's hand and ran out of the house towards the arena. Inside the house, Nina emerged from under the table with an embarrassed face, saying, "Damn it... She caught me doing that."
