Chapter 48. Dropping a Bomb(1)
Receding all the urges of anger with a deep exhaling breath, I looked at the calming nature. That’s right. I shouldn’t be in rage for such a trivial matter. But aren’t my anger outbursts too sudden?
“Don’t tell me… Am I going through hormonal problems?!”
Well, I have gone through ups and downs in this magical world. It is natural to have some unknown changes to my personality. And more so, when I am occupying a body of someone’s.
“No more wasting time.”
It’s minutes since I came out and did nothing except for inhaling fresh air in and out. I should exercise a bit. Being bedridden for days has made my body a bit cranky. I need to be fully prepared for all sorts of trouble.
“If you want peace, prepare for war.”
What if I succeed once? That too was a fluke since Oliver underestimated me. But the next time, he will go all out. I have to prepare for it.
Spreading my arms, I took a chestful of breath and then exhaled it. And soon turned and started to jog slowly. Since I was inside a forest, I had to jog in between the trees. Considering it a good experience, I went in.
“The animals or even demons are no match for me. There is nothing to fear.”
Unless a meteor hits me from above, there is nothing to be afraid of. Thinking of such, I thought of training a bit more. Without any use of magic, I closed my eyes to train my other senses. If someone looks at me, they might scoff deeming it to be such a wasteful exercise.
Heh! Idiots!
This boy here is a reincarnator. One can enhance their sense simply by using mana. Who doesn’t know that? But the foundation is everything. If my body is strong, then with magic it will be even more strong. That’s the thing these fools don’t get.
“And it will be more useful to me, a person with less magic power.”
Using my ear, skin, nose, and instinct, I tried to run in between trees and small animals. I even tried to battle with some small animals like wild rabbits. And to be shocking enough, I improved. Not mastered it yet, but at least I could sense and differentiate between things with my eyes closed.
“Really, my body is terrifying.”
Soaked in sweat, I came back to the cottage and used magic to conjure some hot water. Though using [Clean], I can clean myself but the enjoyment of a bath is something different. The wooden bucket was filled with hot water, and I poured it down on myself and cleaned myself.
Surprisingly enough, soaps exist in this world. Though they aren’t modernized and are not that soft. If only I knew how to make them…
“It’s my fault for never being interested in them.”
There are multiple web novels and manga, depicting the ways of making soap but I rode past them and later forgot about it. After all, who would go through the trouble of making a soap when you can buy it at a low cost?
And now I regret it.
“I am sure that the protagonist must know how to make it.”
Why am I sure? Do you even need to ask? He is the protagonist. And protagonist knows how to make a soap, a shampoo, a telephone, all miscellaneous things despite being a salaryman. That’s the logic of the world.
“Aah! So hot and relieving.”
Completing the morning bath, I changed clothes and walked to the kitchen of this cottage for the first time. It wasn’t that fancy, but the serene atmosphere inside made me feel comfortable. But being in old times, there wasn’t gas to light up the stove. But don’t forget our dear Guru Melinda.
She made stoves using enchantments to help common people. And this works just the way modern one does. Magic surely makes common chores convenient.
“Breakfast should be a bit light.”
I looked in and luckily found the perfect ingredients for breakfast. Eggs, bread, and milk. All three were there. Taking a couple of eggs, I cracked them up and poured them one by one into the sizzling pan. And well-controlling the heat, I made sure not to burn them.
The yellow yolk was on the top, fully jiggly and I took them out and served them on the plate. The sunny-side-up was done. As for bread, unfortunately, our Guru Melinda couldn’t make a toast machine. But what is to worry about when magic is there?
“With my magic control is an easy task.”
If someone asks me, what do you excel at? Then at first, I would answer martial and sword arts. But after that, my answer would be magic control. With my small amount of magic, it was easier to control but I trained even harder and mastered it.
A flame arose from my finger and I pulled the bread and kept it on the small barrier that formed in front of me. The [Barrier] magic sure has too many uses. And then heated the bread, slowly drying and charring the surface of the bread to make it crusty.
“Done.”
All left was milk which I poured out in two glasses. It’s complete. The morning breakfast for two is served.
“Huh? Is Miria awake? So convenient.”
Just as I was about to wake her up, I found her to be awake through my senses. This is good. But still, my hands are shivering. Now you must be wondering, why?
Well because I am about to drop a huge bomb. And I am nervous as fuck! But…
“This is the perfect time.”
Breathe in… Breathe out…
After taking a plate of breakfast, I walked to my bedroom. And I opened the door with a creak, finding Miria looking towards me.
“Good morning, Miria. Are you alright?”
Be natural, Kurt! Be natural!
“Kurt…”
Being as natural as possible, I walked and sat beside the bed as she sat up. But she seems to have forgotten that she is naked.
“Ah…”
Her instant figure glistening because of the morning sun made all of my natural acting vanish away. Miria finding my glued eyes on her also realized the problem.
“D-Don’t look!”
Being shy, she quickly hid her enchanting figure in a matter of seconds despite showing all of her last night.
“Cough! Don’t worry. And I don’t think you have to be that shy. After all last night…”
“Wawawa...!”
Listening to my words, Miria remembered the exciting and perverted works she accompanied me with, and she blushed and covered her face not wanting me to see it as she muttered the cute words of embarrassment. And looking at her, I only had one thought.
‘This woman… She really has a talent to make me want to ravish her.’
