Book 3: Chapter 7
Return to Human World, Bathing, Shopping
Father, Mother, I will be going now. Silent Water reluctantly bid farewell to her parents.
After obtaining the Nora Grass, we went back into Bijur forest to the lake where I landed when I fell from the sky. The reason for this being that in this area the dimension fabric was weaker, resulting in a lesser amount of magic needed for returning to the human world, thus a higher success rate when using the teleportation magic.
Thinking back, I finally understood why people said that the area around my house has an exceptional amount of dimensional cracks, and why Silent Water appeared near the creek that is just a stone's throw away from my house so this was the reason
Alright, Silent Water, remember to be good, and dont cause any trouble for Little Xiang-sama.
I get it, Mother.
Just when Silent Water finished her last word, her mother nodded in approval, and began to activate a white magic array. This magic array was very different from the black dimensional door Yalide created when I came to the Demon World, this looked much safer, and reliable.
Brat, what do you mean by that?
Haa~~ Nothing, its just a misunderstanding.
Then, Little Xiang-sama, please take care of Silent Water.
Silent Waters gentleness must have been influenced greatly by being raised by such a well-mannered mother.
Without fail dear mother? Uh Please be careful on the way back.
I will
Then dear father? Goodbye.
Hmm! Paulie Water nodded his head.
Silent Water kissed her mother goodbye, and gave her father a hug, then we entered the teleportation array together.
The moment I stepped into the array, I felt nauseated and so, I closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes again I saw an endless blue sky I am back in the Human World
The house in front must be your home, right? The design is very weird
Uh It cant be compared to the castle you called home
The dog at the front door that low class earth spirit also belongs to you?
That is correct Dusty~~~
The first thing I saw when I reached home was Dusty lying down in front of the house, and from the looks of it, it must have been waiting for us for a very long time.
When it heard me, Dusty looked up, wagged its tail, and rushed at me with all the speed it could muster, Woof~~~ Woof~~
I kneeled down, and hugged Dusty who was throwing itself at me, and patted its round head with love, Haa~~ Dusty, I am so sorry for leaving you alone at home.
Woof~~~ Dusty licked my face happily, making me itch.
Ohh~~~ Your relationship with her looks better than expected.
Home Sweet Home
Human, what is this weird clothing? Reidy lifted Silent Waters dress high up, while scrutinizing it.
That dress is not weird at all it is just a bit different from what you spirits normally wear why dont you go take a shower for now
Silent Water only has four sets of clothes, it seems inappropriate not to buy more clothing for her.
Humph~~ Dont order me around, alright then, quickly escort me to the bathhouse.
Bathhouse I believe you meant the shower room, right?
Dont mind the minor details you really are a useless human.
Then you only need to turn this on, and hot water will start flowing out. I demonstrated by turning the knob for the showerhead.
What? So troublesome. And not to mention, this place is so small this isnt nearly as big as the bathhouse where I usually bathe Reidy reasoned, while she sized up my shower room that spanned more than sixty square meters.
Well, sorry for having a small house this can be used to clean your body. I pointed to the shower gel.
Hey, what do you mean by that? Are you calling me dirty?
No No such thing. Alright, you may not smell, on the contrary you smell really good, even so you are still definitely dirty, with all those dirt stains and stuff.
Of course, when facing this lady, I kept all those words in my heart.
I dont think you even dare, whats that over there? Is it also used for washing the body? Reidy pointed to the shampoo.
Thats for your hair.
What the hell? Why is it so complicated? Using two separate products to clean both your hair and body? Humans really are spoiled.
This is like the pot calling the kettle black you of all people have no rights to say others are spoiled
Ugh Then Ill take my leave first
What else can you do other than leave? Out you go. Reidy pushed me out of the shower room as she rebuked me.
I stood in front of the shower room dumbstruck, I couldnt fathom whats with her. I didnt even mention anything about staying inside. This was utterly ridiculous, and so, I came to a conclusion:
This girl we just cant get along I had better not provoke her, and try my best to compromise After all, shes still a pampered lady.
Living Room
Dusty, did you miss me? I played with Dusty while lying on the couch, while she laid on my chest licking me continuously.
Dusty, Im really sorry leaving you alone at home. I patted her head.
Woof~~
Oh, its fine? Seeing you so spirited really puts my mind at ease. We will take our bath later since Reidy is still inside. Since we rarely have such good weather, why dont we go out and play?
Woof! Woof! Dusty jumped from the couch, opened the TV cabinet and took out a softball from a box. Then her hind leg swung, closing the cabinet door.
That softball was bought the day after Dusty had come to live with us; it was for the purpose of playing with Dusty Something that must be commended was Dustys reaction speed, because every time I threw the ball, she caught the ball even before the ball landed
Little Silent Do you want to go for a walk?
Thats not necessary, Master, I will stay here. If not later, when Reidy comes out from the bath and finds no one, she will definitely lash out at Master again. Furthermore, I am preparing the dishes.
Oh? Silent Water sure is well-behaved I chuckled and patted Silent Water on her head. I am glad Silent Water is so understanding.
Then, lets go Dusty. I grabbed the ball in Dustys mouth and walked toward the entrance.
Woof~~~
One hour later
Dusty, come, its time to go home.
After sweating, my whole body loosened up! I guess about one hour has passed? No matter how slow Reidy is, she should be done by now, right?
Home
Hey! Human, where did you go? Why did you take advantage of the moment when I am bathing to sneak away? Just as I opened the door, the first thing I saw was Reidy standing right in front of the door with her arms crossed. I have to say, Reidys skin has become very pinkish after the bath, that beautiful yet serious expression, looks a lot like a young mother reprimanding her child for coming home late.
Me? I took Dusty for a walk. Come on Dusty, lets go have our bath. I signaled to Dusty after she had put the ball back in its original place.
What! You are going into the bath with her? Reidy exclaimed in a loud voice.
Seeing such a big reaction from Reidy, I felt baffled, Yup Is there anything wrong?
I didnt think that didnt think you are such a pervert to go as far as babathing totogether with girls?
Girls? Are you referring to Dusty? I dont think thats a problem even if shes a girl? I looked at Dusty who was wagging her tail.
What? Why isnt it a problem? Girls are girls, and should not bathe together with guys! This is common sense! Common sense! Cant you comprehend it?
Where did you learn your common sense? Dusty is just a cute little. big dog no matter how you see it, right?
Who cares what she is, regardless, girls are girls.
Uh then, it should be okay if the other party agrees, right? What a lady
I bent over and asked Dusty, Dusty, are you willing to take a bath with me?
Woof, woof!
Is this fine with you?
How do you even know what shes saying?
Then Dusty, if you are willing, stand up and shake my hand. I said as I stretched out my hand.
As expected, Dusty with her high level of intelligence understood my words, stood up, and stretched out her hand feet? paw and placed it onto my hand.
How about
NO!
Why not?
I just wont allow it!
Come on, Dusty, dont heed her too much she just came from the spirit world, and cant adapt very fast. Dusty and I went towards the bathroom, totally ignoring the unreasonable Reidy.
After bathing
After my bath, while walking out, I was viciously scorned by Reidy who was sitting on the couch, Pervert!
Even if she was being unreasonable, to be despised by such a beautiful girl, I still felt hurt
Master, time to eat.
Ok, got it, I will come down after I am done drying Dustys fur.
Freed, now that we obtained the Nora Grass, what do I need to do to use its effect to mask the spirit energy from Silent Water and the rest?
I brought back a large quantity of Nora Grass, as a precaution for when the spirits might lose theirs. Furthermore, Dusty also requires it as for reasons only God knows, her rank had risen to a low class spirit, which fulfilled the condition that spirit peddlers are looking for when catching spirits.
Eh, its simple, you just have to cut a little of it, put it in a bottle, or a satchel, or any other kind of containers and let them carry it around. Another option is to use a string to connect the cervix of the Nora Grass, and wear it like a necklace.
Oh. so thats how you do it.
Oi! Human, why are you not eating this rice thing? Isn't it delicious?
Nothing much, I was just thinking about some stuff, you should eat more if its so good, Ill take you guys shopping in the afternoon.
Shopping? Whats that?
It means taking a stroll out in the streets.
Ohh~~~ Speaking of it, human culture seems very advanced, it even has many different kinds of weird and funny stuff. Reidy eyes sparkled with anticipation when I mentioned going shopping.
After eating, I used a pair of scissors to cut out three small parts of Nora Grass, then used a string to string them up separately, and gave them to Silent Water and the rest to wear.
Silent Water and Dusty wore it without hesitation, but Reidy alone squinted her eyes and looked at the necklace on my hand, What is this disgusting thing? Why is it so ugly?
This is a necklace made from Nora Grass, wearing it will prevent humans from finding out your identity as a spirit.
Really? I guess I dont have a choice; alright, I will wear it but human, I cant do it myself, you must help me put it on.
Orh. . .
I walked behind Reidys back, lifted her golden-colored hair, causing her pale neck to be visible to have such a beautiful spectacle right in front of me made my heart beat rapidly.
There is no doubt that shes a humanoid spirit, to have such a nice complexion.
Yalide, please dont interrupt me.
Ok, ok. I just remember, brat, about my book, when are you.
Not buying.
Why not? Dont tell me you are like other humans, one that break promises?
Not really, just give it some thought, if you want to read that, doesnt that mean I have to read it too? Furthermore, with that book in the house, what if Silent Water and the others find it accidentally, what should I do then?
I dont care, you despicable brat!
Hey! Human! What are you doing? Dont tell me you have fallen for my beauty? I heard Reidys arrogant tone as I snapped back to reality.
Of course not, I am only thinking about where to go later.
What? Only that?
Yes
Forget it, stand aside, I can do it myself. Reidy for no reason became angry Ugh~~ forget it, I dont get her, I never will. Well, shes a missy always loving to throw a tantrum
On the streets
Wow~~~ whats that?
Ice-cream.
Is it edible?
Yup
I want it.
Whats that?
Cotton candy
Is it edible?
Yup.
I want it.
Whats that?
Taiyaki
Is it edible?
Yup I understand Ill go buy it for you.
What the hell~~~ do you really think I am such a glutton? Nevermind, since you already volunteered to buy it, then quickly go buy it.

Clothing Store
Wah, this clothing is almost transparent, why is the material so thin? Reidy grabbed the legendary sexy pink-colored undergarments and waved it in my face.
Uh about that, Miss Reidy, that really doesnt suit you, so
What do you mean by that? If you said it like that, then I should give it a try as opposed to your opinion. Reidy took the clothing, turned and walked towards the changing room.
I did not follow her, as I am afraid she will really change into it afraid that Ill die by blood rushing to my head if I witnessed that scenery.
Silent Water, what do you think of this? I picked out one blue-colored shirt, and displayed it in front of her.
I am not sure why, but I have this feeling that the color blue suits Silent Water very well
Master Silent Water likes it a lot Silent Water only took a glance and said she likes it? Is she serious?
You Are you sure you dont want to take another look at it?
No need, I trust Masters decision.
Ugh I didnt know you trust me so much, then. lets buy this, and, what about this one?
It looks good.
Is it? Then lets get this too
Damn you, human! Reidy appeared out of nowhere, and gave my back one heavy slap.
What? I turned my head, and saw a red-faced Reidy, holding onto a piece of underwear that could kill.
You pervert, such an embarrassing outfit, how could you let me wear it?
Huh? When did I ask you to wear it?
Are you telling me its not your fault?
How exactly did it become my fault?
Nani-nani? Can one really be that shameless?
Are you really telling me its not your fault? Reidy repeated the question again.
Ugh fine, its my fault, please forgive me. At the same time, I stole a glance at the kind and gentle Silent Water.
Silent Water who was standing at one side did not speak a single word, she only blissfully looked at the clothes I picked for her.
Public Park
Ah~~~ So tired. I sat down on the parks long bench, while watching Silent Water and Reidy happily feed the pigeons, I let out a deep sigh.
Haha~~brat, this is really unexpected that thunder spirit and you are polar opposites.
Agreed, I am totally countered by her.
However, not being angry after all that, you have incredible patience.
Ah~~not really, its just that, theyre spirits so I think we should treat them better. After all, they had never been to the human world Furthermore, their ancestors, suffered a lot enslaved by the demons, I feel fearful just from thinking about it.
You rascal ahh~~~this is so like you, well~~~it seems it will still be worth it for those girls even if it will cause them some headache.
Are you talking about imaginary girls again?
Hearing Freed mention those girls again Do I really know that many girls?
Hehe~~You will know when the times come.
