Dipping the small towel inside. I press the towel with one hand and wipe myself from face to toe. Avoiding the wrapped bag when I realize I could feel someone's gazing intensely at me from near the door. There is no aura, indicating someone who's not a Martial Artist or just hiding their strength.

(Oh! Maybe it's the maid).

I turn my head a little as I wipe my neck again and look back past my shoulder, I could see a young maid with long brown bed hair peeking her head from the door. Her sleepy orange eyes stare intensely at me.

When she noticed I was looking at her, she suddenly makes a surprise face and suddenly panics, she quickly takes a towel and strips off-

"W-wait, wait wait!"

I shouted, but she continues and enters only with a towel.

(Why!?)

"Wait, don't come any closer!"

I scream and quickly turn my back on her so I won't see her body or she won't see mine. When I could hear her replying:

"Why? Aren't we both girls? Besides-"

"Didn't Ms. Huimei tell you I'm a guy or anything!?"

I cut her off as I feel my heart would burst she continue saying:

"A guy...? Hmmm... Nah I don't think I heard any of that. Besides, you can't lie to me, look at that slim waist and those slim legs, that smooth beautiful pearl white skin from head to toe and your back view is amazing! Well I get to see your chest a little, it's as flat as a chopping board but you're still young and very beautiful Mistress... Um... So- Sofa?"

Hmm did the black cracks disappear already? And what about the burn marks? Or is it because it's my own body that I can see it more clearly? And I wonder how long has it been someone mispronounced my name? Thinking back, I think one of the foreigner chefs in a small noodle diner near my home called me Soba, which is the noodle he sells. And one of May's friend called me Soda and I always wonder what she- Oh wait, now I know what she meant! That drink Rana gave me back in her diner-

(Wait! There is even a bigger problem right now!)

"I-it's Sova. Use the V, Veee."

"A-ah! F-forgive my insolence Mistress Sova!"

"Yes, yes you're forgiven! So can you please leave and wait outside!? I'll need you for something else. I can do this myself."

"That's a no can do my Mistress. I'll rub your back for you! It's what I can do as a Maid eager to help and since you're part of the Central Dragons this is necessary."

As soon she says that I could feel my back being rubbed.

"Yah! W-wait!"

(Again with the dragons. Why are they so obsessed with them?)

"Woah, it's as smooth as it looks! I feel like I'm still dreaming~"

*Yawn*

"Oops!"

She rubs my back softly. I quickly feel a little calmer for some reason... When she suddenly says:

"My Mistress, I'm still quite new to being in the maid. So please forgive me if I did something wrong."

"Huh?"

"Since I will be serving you all day long. This small one is called Yuria. I hope I can serve you well."

Seeing her voice sounding afraid, I try calming her down saying:

"It's okay, just relax. I hope you can act normal as you act with your friends. It will also calm me down for I'm not a noble you know."

When I feel her suddenly grabbing my sides, I almost jump a little. She replies enthusiastic ly saying:

"R-really!? But how is that possible!? The soldiers c-clearly see you used the dragons technique, so you must be from the Central Dragons."

"No, you misunderstood. I just learn that from my sister, where she learned it is still a mystery though."

She grips the towel in fear shouting:

"Then you ARE from the dragon family!"

Realizing what I say I quickly reply:

"No! I'm not, we're not related. Can you please just stop and act normal?"

"I-I see... I guess it's true that I heard the dragons don't accept illegitimacy... But the fact you learn a dragon's technique is... Ah, whatever~ Then thank you so much! I'm glad you're not as ruthless as the rumours say- Aaah! Wait, did I act inappropriately just now! I'm so sorry!"

I could feel her stop holding me and back away. I look back at her when I could see her bowing her head down to the ground.

"Ah no, you don't need to feel bad. So can you please just raise your head."

"R-really? T-thank you so much!"

She quickly stands up when I realize I have a full view of her. I quickly turn back as I feel hot on my face and tingling down there. I could feel her rubbing my back again. Curious I ask her:

"Say I just got this weird feeling that you just woke up."

"Urk! Well, yes. I'm so sorry!"

(Weird, are Maids like this?)

"No, it's okay. That would explain some things. And of course I'm actually done with wiping myself and soon I will dip myself in the bath. So can you please wait outside? And please don't call me a Mistress. I'm a guy."

"A guy..."

(Wait a second... Isn't this going to bring me in trouble!?)

I look back at her saying:

"W-wait-"

*sniff*

(Huh?)

She looks at me with a sadful gaze when she replies saying:

"Ah, I see... *sniff* *sniff* Truly sad. Well if you say so. At least before I leave, can I ask permission to take a bath alongside you?"

"Huh...?"

"I-I'm sorry. It's just that I quickly went here without taking even a quick wash. So I'm worried that I might smell- No! Since you're a man, you will definitely be happy seeing a young girl bath no? So-"

"Wha! F-fine fine! J-just don't look at me when I bathe okay?"

"Yes! Of course! Thank you so much Mistre- um, Master Sova! I'll promise you it will be quick."

(It looks like she won't leave me for a while. I guess I better get used to it. More like I'm grateful nothing bad comes out of this).

I stand up and take my towel as I cover my front. I look a little to the side saying:

"Well then, I'm heading to the bath."

"Y-yes of course."

I finally enter the warm bath. Hanging my towel on the phoenix statue.

(This feels amazing! I never knew warm water would feel so nice.)

"Mis- Master Sova. Do you wish for any drinks or snacks?"

"Wah!?"

I quickly covered my private parts and reply without looking at her saying:

"W-wait, you can eat in the bath?"

(I mean, wouldn't the water be dirty if some food fell inside?)

"Well yes. That's what I saw Mistress Fei usually does. When I saw the other Maids helping her.

"Sis Fei eats in the bath? That's new."

"Sis? Wow, you must be really close to her. And here I thought she doesn't get close to anyone."

(Wait what?)

Curious, I quickly ask:

"Say, can you please tell me more."

"Huh? R-really? Well if you insist."

Realizing this is gonna take a while, I stop her.

"Wait, you can tell me when we're done. And I think I don't need any drink, thank you. Let's just quickly finish and we can talk as we walk."

"I-I see. As you wish Mis- Master Sova."

(I guess it will be a while before she can call me correctly).

*************************************

I went outside the bath. Finally out of that dreadful situation... Do all Maids act that way?

Drying my hair I realize that I can only wear my underwear and remove the transparent bags with my other arm halting me.

"I guess I never realize how important the other arm was until it really affects me..."

I try touching it, realizing that it doesn't hurt that much anymore. Going to the place where I put my clothes and realize it's gone...

(W-where's my headband! No, no, no!)

"Mis- Master I'm done! Thank you for your patience!"

"Wah!"

Surprised by her sudden appearance. I turn around as I cover myself in reflex.

"U-um, okay. Can you please help me put my clothes on, and where are the clothes?"

"Well Mis-Master, since you're here, rather than wearing the distributed clothes I suggest you wear one of the old traditional wear as our important guess."

"I-I see. Then please do. And where is my headband?"

"Headband?"

She asks me in confusion. I hold my head in desperate saying:

"Yea, a black headband with my name on it. I-It's very important to me. C-can you please return it. I put it along with my dirty clothes."

"C-cute- I mean yeas I cuean!"

She quickly ran off behind the shelves with only a towel covering her body. Which makes me even harder to look at her now.

As I wait, I look around the room to see a mirror. Gazing on it, I realize a small girl wearing a maid outfit peeking out from the shelves behind me.

(Another spirit, maybe I should try to change and act nice while smiling for once).

When she saw me smile she quickly pulls away and disappear. Which dishearten me.

(Maybe, I should take it slow...)

"M-Mis-I mean Master. You can see her?"

Yuria appears wearing her maid outfit with her hair now more refine and smooth along with my change of clothes and the black headband. I look at where the little girl was before saying:

"Huh? I guess yea. Ever since that incident, I was able to see the spirits. It disturbs me. but now I guess I'm just trying to change- wait you can see spirits too?"

(And here I thought with how Huimei said it. Sis Yuwei is an exception... But I guess there's always an exception for each).

She scratches her head saying:

"Hehe yeah, just like Mistress Yuwei, I too can see the spirits. I mean that's what they say when I was hired here anyway."

"I see... So can I have the headband please."

"W-why of course! Here!"

She hands both the clothes and headband. I take the headband and wear it again thinking:

(Yea, I could never feel right without it).

And I can't help but smile when Yuria suddenly says:

"C-cute- I mean, it must be very important to you Mis-Master Sova. I'm sorry if I worried you."

"No, it's okay. So can you please help me put the clothes on?"

"Yes, definitely! Absolutely!"

She quickly untied the knots on the clothes and I realize it's one of the one similar to Sis Yuwei and Sis Rubeca wears but unlike their clothes, it has like 4 layers of clothing that makes me look so fancy and proper. She first helps me wear the first and second clothes before wrapping my arm again and putting the third and fourth clothing for last. The fourth being a large red sash tuck between my left elbow and right shoulder since my right arm is still broken.

(I wonder if the male clothing are like this? Wait, I saw this kind of red sash before. It's that Golden Man that for some reason gives me the urge to punch his face and other than that is Rubeca and Sis Yuwei didn't wear something so... Heavy I think is the right word. So maybe this is a male attire).

Feeling the baggy sleeves and collar, as she tightens the other sash on my waist.

"Wah~ you look gorgeous! And ridiculously cute even with such mature clothing."

(Gorgeous? Cute?)

Looking at the clothes again, I realize it must be pretty expensive.

"Are you sure it's okay for me to wear it?"

"Well, Huimei said that you are a guest of honour and a close friend to Mistress Yuwei so yeah! Of course, you can wear all the guest garments!"

"I-I see."

Now that I'm finally done...

(Time to go find Saya).

I look back at Yuria and realize that she is now wearing the maid outfit with her hair smoothen and tidy up. Making her look more elegant than I first met her.

"Say, Yuria."

"What is it, my Lord?"

She replies while smiling pleasantly like she finally accomplishes something.

"Do you know where Sarah is?"

"Sarah? Who?"

(Does she not know?)

"She's the rat girl that I came here with."

"Rat girl... Oh, a Bihai... Ah, Right! So that's her name. Sadly, no I don't. I mean I just woke up."

I look down while tucking my left hand inside the huge sleaves saying:

"Ah right... I guess that's okay."

(I guess, I'll just have to hope).

Yuria shakes her head quickly and softly slap both her cheeks before smiling widely saying:

"Don't worry my Lord! I got it covered."

Confused I can only answer:

"Huh?"

Yuria points her thumb to her chest saying:

"You see, I served her yesterday and remember all the place she visits and not-"

Stopping her mid-sentence, I hold my hand up asking:

"Wait, she's been doing it since yesterday?"

(Does that mean I've been sleeping for two days?)

"Well yeah. She had the look of someone who just did something she regrets at first but in the end, she relaxed. It's like someone who drinks their bad memories away but instead of drinks, she uses utilities I guess."

(It seems I got the chance, maybe I can ask Saya to come with me).

"Thank you."

I smiled and thank her. She blushes and replies saying:

"Aw, you~'re welcome. Besides, I'm your maid for the day. It's my job to fulfil your request. Now follow me, last time she was heading to the pool."

As she turns her back on me, I stop her again asking:

"Wait, there's a pool in here?"

(And I thought this place was barren with how everything was going).

"Well yes, usually it's empty and left alone to mould. But since she wants it, we had to clean and fill it up since she wants to learn how to swim."

"A-ah I see... I'm sorry if she causes you trouble."

(I wonder if I'm like this back then?)

"Don't be, besides, she is one of the honoured guests too."

"Oh..."

"Now let us go. Follow me closely my Lord."

"Yes thank you- wait, before we leave. Can you please tell me what do you mean about Sis Fei?"

"Huh? Oh... Well this is just from what I heard so far, and to be honest, so take it with a grain of salt, it is a pretty common story. As you know, Mistress Fei is the Little Sister of the Lord of Segmentums, given that Mistress Yuwei was just crowned a year ago. Which means that she has a lot of authority already, coupled with the fact that she is already a Traditional Expert if not Master class and that our Sector has multiple coastal regions and a ton of unique resources..."

Yuria gesture me to come closer then whisper to my ear saying:

(I know this is kinda outside the topic but I heard this from the dripping vines from the higher-ups that Mistress Yuwei has established a secret backer, so she could keep the isolated economy booming).

(Wait, is it alright to tell me this?)

(If it's not you who else? I can assure you Mistress Yuwei don't just invite everybody or in fact anybody in her household like that. I mean I was chosen and was told to forget about the ties in my orphanage).

(I'm sorry to hear that).

(It's okay).

Before standing straight to continue saying:

"And right now, our Sector is isolated to bank our unique riches, it has gone to the point where one of our resources now cost 10 times the price outside our Sector before we isolate. So can you imagine what riches would befall you the moment you brought something out? So the moment she entered the Academy, many flocks to her wings trying to win favour for her position than just trying to befriend her for who she is.

Which to be honest, puts a lot of bad taste in her mouth. As of right now, I don't think she ever said anything about making any new friends but just the occasional greetings to Mistress Yuwei. It's always just silence in the table before both you and the other guest arrive."

"But- that's..."

(I never knew she had that kind of problem. Is that why she is always so enthusiastic about sending me the letters even when she's sick? And is that what she meant when she said my praise is genuine?)

Yuria looks at me with a pleasant smile saying:

"But, I think I'm relieved now- no the rest of the maids are relieved."

"What do you mean?"

"Because I now know she has a real friend now. And I can tell the others about it too."

I can't help but smile saying:

"I see, thank you Yuria. For telling me this."

"Y-yes, I'm glad I could help!"

(I wonder are all maids so knowledgable about current information? I mean I've been hearing about grapevines but what does that even mean!?)

*******************************************************

Walking through the similar hallway, Yuria keeps passing glances at me every few time.

(Is she worried about me?)

"Yuria, it's okay. You don't need to worry about me so much."

Slowing a little she continues saying:

"O-oh, sorry. It's just that you have a very silent footstep, my Lord. I practice my footwork a little back then so that I won't fell but I feel like I can't reach your level."

"Really? I'm pretty sure my steps is as loud as it can be. I mean I could hear myself walking through the bath and even this hallway.

"Well, if you say so... For me, you seem like you're walking without sound. Like... Like a... (Assasin)"

She whispers the last sentence and didn't even voice the last word... Now I feel even more worried about myself.

(But she may be right about my hearings. I mean Sis did say that I have an acute sense of hearing).

"Well, maybe you're right about my footwork. But I'm still a trainee Martial Artist and I'm still inexperienced. Because unlike me, Sis Rubeca could walk without almost without any sound."

"Rubeca...? Like Tyrant Gardener Rubeca Taiyin?"

"Hmm, you know of my sister?"

(Oh, right! She is a Special Rank Hunter. And Rana did say that she is one of the Heroes of the Confederation).

"Wait, Sis... Sister... So she's the sister you told me in the bath? The one that teaches you your Arts!?"

"Well yes-"

"That's amazing! I see so now it makes sense why Mistress Yuwei cares for you so. I see, her background has been shrouded in mystery for so long but to think she's actually from Central. Now it all makes sense!"

"Huh? What? Who?"

"Of course, do you know that even though I just got here, everyone who lives in the villages knows of her! She was one of the Special Rank Hunters that willingly visit plebeians like us in the outskirts and down to Libera and speak to us. Not only that, but she also accompanies Mistress Yuwei on her cleansing and retaking her mandate on the phoenix throne from the evil clutches of the Red Phoenix and their pawns. A tale of a brand new Saga! And you being her Sister even not by blood is still amazing! Not only that, so you're learning all those techniques from Rubeca and from the Central Dragons! That's even more amazing!

The infuriating thing is that they give her such a cruel title is just so unjustified! Like let me tell you about back when my village was gonna be wiped out by General Hongzhao forces, Rubeca was the one who suggests saving everyone even if it means sacrificing herself. I was there when she fights! She was like PTAW! WHOOP! SHOOSH!-"

I hold my cheeks and can't help but smile.

(For some reason, I feel warm in my cheeks again. But I feel like there is one wrong word in there... Yet Sis, why did you do that back in the Reliquary?)

"My Lord! Is there something bothering you!?"

"Huh?"

"You look worried there."

"Oh, it's nothing. Just a bad memory."

Yuria taps her cheeks before puffing it up saying:

"Uuuuhmph..! Not to worry, for small as I may be, Yuria here will help you with that!"

"Huh?"

"We've arrived at the massaging spa. Last I heard she was gonna go here."

"Really!?"

"Yes! And not only that, in case the massager's not there, I can help you loosen any stiff shoulders. Even my grandma and grampa praise me for it. Well, I'm still nothing compared to Kanami but..."

"You don't need to worry about that. I think I'm quite fine, not counting my broken right arm."

She brushes her nose with her thumb saying:

"Hehe~ Is that so? Now I just need to find the one station here..."

As she said that, she enters the double door and I followed suit. The thing that caught me immediately is the strong smell that somehow makes me kinds sleepy.

The room was cosy in all sense you see it. From the floating pink flowers, the cosy lighting and soft sound of droplets that echoes through. This room is just... I want to sleep now. Yuria looked around when she got surprised saying:

"Well, speak of the fallen."

"Yuria senpai, what are you- Oh my, forgive my rudeness and Greetings, Honoured Guest."

She's a girl that look on her teens which shows the definition of proper and elegance. She clasps her hands and bow as she greets me before she stands straight again. Yuria gasps as she looks at me saying:

"Ah right! How could I forget that I'm supposed to greet the first time we met!"

Yuria suddenly clasps her hand and bow saying:

"This may be late but, greetings Honoured Guest! It's just a must so please forgive me!"

Surprised by her sudden greeting, I quickly reply saying:

"It's fine, it's fine."

(Come to think of it, why didn't I see Huimei greet like this I wonder?)

The other Maid holds her forehead saying:

"Oh Senpai, did you just wake up again?"

"Mmmm yes. But more importantly, it's about her."

Using her entire arm as she is presenting me.

(Wait, Her? Is she talking about me?)

Kanami tilts her head saying:

"Is she the second honoured guest? She's so cute for the rumours to be true. I mean last I heard the other honoured guest was a male Dragon warrior-"

"Wait, I'm really a guy."

"Don't worry My Lord, let me handle this."

Yuria suddenly grabs her away by the hand and pull her far enough and whisper something to her.

As I focus I can barely hear Yuria whispering:

"She's... Circumstances... Dragon... Tragic... Forced... Scarred... Male now."

I could see Kanami gasping silently before shedding a tear. Yuria holds her shoulder and they both clench their hands and raise their fist. They both walk towards me with a smile and new determination in their eyes. Kanami brushes her long jet black hair behind her left ear saying:

"Please forgive my rude remarks before, Master... Master..."

Yuria leans on her whispering my name when she continues saying:

"Master Sova! My name is Kanami, I'm the one in charge of this place here. So please, I insist that you enjoy the services we can provide you here."

"No, I don't need it. I'm just looking for-"

"No, I insist!"

She grabs my right sleeves and squeezes it, realizing there's nothing there she lets out a baffled:

"Gasp!"

She continues squeezing it and squeezing above a little before letting it go and hold my left hand saying:

"I see... For you to even suffer so much. I won't let you leave before I satisfy you!"

"Huh?"

She quickly pulls me over to one of the flatbeds and holds both my shoulder saying:

"I Kanami shall help relieve all your fatigue."

And quickly strip my fourth and third clothing before I knew it.

"Wah!"

Confused and surprised she looks at my bandaged right hand saying:

"Ah, so it's still there whew~"

I back away holding my right arm saying:

"P-please stop. And how did you remove my clothing so fast!?"

"Well... I'm a sister of five siblings who always run when they don't want to bath. So I learn how to quickly strip them and capture them when I'm still with my family. Now don't resist and make futile efforts for-"

"F-fine fine, please just stop. I'll take them off myself..."

(Are maids suppose to be so forceful?)

I tried removing the clothes myself when I realize it's impossible with my other broken arm holding the way. Yuria grabs my shoulder from behind me saying:

"Don't worry my Lord! I'll help you."

"Huh?"

"Me too!"

Yuria and Kanami with her sparkling eyes volunteer forward.

"W-wait- nooo!"

*******************************************************

Laying face down on the bed with my face inside a hole. Luckily still wearing only my underwear on.

(Again, I'm stripped off almost everything).

Feeling my pressure points and back getting press by her oily hands. I feel relieved and more sleepy than ever.

(I feel... Liberated).

"It seems yer more relaxed now. Don't ya worry, I actually learna little aboot accumulation points back at me village. So Ima know which to release and not. In case of yar body, it's like ya've been fighting for a year or more and barely ever rest. So like here."

She presses somewhere near my right shoulder and calf which force me to make a little noise.

"Hnnah!"

I let a noise out as I feel my qi flowing more freely. And I feel like Kanami just speaks in a different manner.

"Adorable!"

Exclaim Yuria before Kanami follows saying:

"Yes... You know Ima feel like Ima get along with them just fine senpai."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Ya see, them both have some really flat chest that they don't even needa bra (Granted one isa kid). Ima so relate to them unlike our Mistresses who's chest are so big itsa lump of two uri- no, soft suikas that can pump up voluntarily just by folding ter hands and go pyoin pyoin when tey walk if they don't wear em, holders.

Makes people wonder over yonder why ya needs that much fat! Cantay appreciate a slim beauty these days!?"

"Riiiight... I don't really need to know that but still, I never knew you know such things and here I thought you're a natural massager."

"Well Ima heard from me pops that me grandad isa qi blocker from ta eastern peninsula. And pops retired to be a massage therapist when he enters the city and into da big streets. Im stumbled his secret stash of porn and technique books while cleaning his leftovers while learning his secret."

"Wah~ You're amazing Kanami!"

"Hehe, thanks Senpai."

(I feel like they just glance over something important... But what's porn anyway?)

"Oh right! I almost forgot why I'm here in the first place."

"Hmm? What izit?"

"Did you see the first guest come here? Like my Lord is looking for her."

"Oh... Actually, she was supposed to come here."

"Eh really!?"

I interject their conversation and tried to get up but was quickly put down again.

"Please settle down Master Sova and lette me explain."

She presses another one of my points as she says that.

"Mmph!"

Feeling limp and powerless, I suddenly feel like this happened before. She continues to massage me saying:

"You see, turns out ta honoured guess... Um..."

(Lord Sarah)

Yuria whispers to Kanami.

"Yes! Yea, Lord Sarah was so close ta learning how to swim yesterday. She quickly goes to da pool after breakfast. Telling us dat she will probably feel sore when she's done. So she needsa massage to be ready. Everyone knows Ima have the best skills to that practice, so they told me ta get ready before she arrives so here we are!"

"Oh~ Who knew. I guess we can wait for her here then My Lord."

"B-but what about now? Can't we just leave now?"

"Well... I guess we can-"

"No! I insist that ya stay Master Sova!"

Kanami interrupts Yuria and presses another one of my pressure points again.

"Aahn~"

Feeling myself losing more strength and my qi flowing more freely, she continues saying:

"I don't care if Ima gets punished afterwards for disobedience but at least Ima make ya relieved and relaxed. That's at least what I can do ta tragic heroine like you!"

"W-who? What are you talking about!?"

"Yuria Senpai tolda me everything. How yer an tragic heroine force to be a man by her family, how much ya had to suffer da wounds which ya say is normal, having yer face ruined by ta scar and not be healed so that no man wants ya! Having yer magic forcefully sealed so ta people will think yer an Owlian is just too tragic!

It's just like those stories I read! Knowing what the dragons were like, It's not too far from the truth and I'm sure you have to suffer a lot more."

*sniff* *sniff*

As I hear them both crying, Kanami massage me more and finally touches my broken right arm saying:

"*Sniff* Hmm? Weird da bones are still intact and fully healed bute nerves and joints are all messed up- wait, Master Sova, I know what Ima must do! Ima fix your arm real good!"

"Mmm~ wait, you can do that?"

"Of course. Ima wasn't brought here for no reason afterall."

"Oh yeah, I always wonder why they hired you with how clumsy you are."

"Senpai for once I actually want ye to shut up."

"Eep, sorry!"

"I'll forgive you- hmmm? Where ya get da cake from?"

(Cake? There's cake here? Wait... Come to think of it, I never really had the luxury to eat something so expensive).

"Oh~ well this is in me distributed pockets whem I woke up. Heh, they're so nice to give it~"

"Ima surprised yer acting like this infront of ta honoured guest."

"Well she did say that to act like how I do with my friends so... I'm Just complying. What about you? You're accent is showing."

"Wha! I'ma- please forgive me!"

"No, it's okay. I actually have someone who speaks like that to me."

"Ya really do? Thank ya Master."

I could fee the kindness she exudes when she says that. I reply asking:

"Yes, But when are you going to fix my arm?"

"Ah ya! Forgive my rudeness, Ima do that right away but pleasa bear cuz it will hurt like hell."

"Huh?"

*crack*

"Whaaa!"

*nudge* *crack*

"Mmmmppphhh!!!"

As I hear the loud cracks resound and my body too weak to even squirm. I was forced to endure this, thinking that this feels like when I fight Sis Rubeca the first time. But instead of the whole body, it's just my right arm.

*crack* *nudge* *nudge*

"Done. Ya can try movin it now."

"Huh?"

She presses another pressure point and suddenly I feel invigorated. I rise and sit down, moving my right arm like it never even broke in the first place.

"Amazing..."

Awestruck in amazements, I can only reply with one word. I smile and hug Kanami's in excitement saying:

"Thank you so much!"

"Fuwah!? Y-yes ofa course! No biggie!"

(Oh, I think May's habit got stuck with me from time to time).

Realizing what I just did. I let go of her and look away saying:

"Sorry, been a while since I was that happy-"

I was cut off when Kanami hugs me back as she tightens her hold and digs my head between her chest saying:

"Yes! Of course! Hug me all ya want!"

She hugs me tighter when I could hear the door opens.

"Excuse my intrusion but my, my~ I never knew you're such a chick magnet So-va"

"S-Saya!"
