Chapter 10: Changing Clothes

Rigen's perspective - The next day morning

I have woken up now, at least I was still alive, I think! Because if I died, I would not have any feelings anymore. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around, no one in my room except me, good!

"Advisor!, see or hear something unusual last night?"

"No, John! Everything is fine but I have to say girls are poor when you didn't care about them " - What the fuck did you mean???

"What did you mean about that?"

"Nothing, just wake up! You haven't workout since the time you got to this world, 4:32 AM already, why don't you work your body a bit?"

"Lazying on one or two days is not a problem but if you keep eating and jerk off daily then you will become a fat man sooner or later."

"The people around here did not wake up yet, I guess so, spend at least 5 minutes or more to work out." - But I was nervous, godammit!

"John, don't be so tense, you are not gonna die, count on this revolutionary device." - Bullshit, you're just a metal scrap that can talk!

Maybe Advisor was right, I should work out my body a bit now...I still have my modern weapons with me. If Hoster wants to kill me, he would not do that easy, I would show him a lesson, but I must be cautious from now on.

But what should I do now? There was no equipment for exercises in the Gym, I could not do a long run outside of the streets. The people out there would chase me till I die with their hammers and their sickles collided while glowing in red and yellow.

Maybe I should do push-ups but...how many reps should I do? Maybe I should set it to 300. I should workout hard and regularly to keep this muscular body or I would have a very fat belly when I work hard on eating.

Alright, I slowly stretched my body a bit, I would do it fast and then touch the floor to perform 300 pushups.

Reimi's perspective

"Yawn! Sleep so well..."

Wait...did I just asleep? I remembered Her Highness told me to protect Sir Rigen. I was now in the closet to stay guard for him but...something went wrong.

Did I just oversleep while guarding for Sir Rigen? Wait...Sir Rigen! What about him?

I heard some noises outside that seemed to be sounds of moaning from a man as if he was doing something miserably. Those moans were from a man but they sounded very similar to my sounds when I was pushing myself when I was struggling to defecate after eating too much meat.

Don't tell me...Sir Rigen was doing that...ahhh! I must take a look to proceed!

I peeked out of the closet and noticed that Sir Rigen was still alright but something was very wrong...Sir Rigen was doing something odd, wasn't he?

He was pressing both of his hands and his feet on the floor and was pushing himself up and down slowly each second. That kind of activity seemed very similar to what I read in a textbook when I was still learning in my school for having more knowledge after graduating to be a Knight.

The act Sir Rigen was doing looked to be a training exercise from the elf's army, that was what I learned from reading that textbook.

Sir Rigen has removed his white shirt and that thing has been hung on a chair nearby, Sir Rigen's body was so...gulp! Looked so powerful with his veins in his big arms!

Sir Rigen's body was so muscular, his upper body was very muscular though his below was not as much as his upper body. I noticed that his chest has a long mark that looked to be a long scar that marked from his upper right chest to his below-left chest.

Sir Rigen was a soldier named Marine in his homeland though Sir Rigen said to me Marines were not soldiers, the scar must be his wound of war. The scar seemed to be marked on his chest for a long time, but this was the first time I have ever seen a long scar like that.

But I ignored the scar, Sir Rigen's body was very muscular, strong when I looked at it, he must have trained hard to have such a body. But for some reason, my body got hot and I wanted...to touch his body and...

Wait! What were you thinking, Reimi! You were thinking about another man when you already had Hermann.

But Hermann never knew my love for him, I never confessed my feeling for him and he died without knowing anything...was it right for me to have a feeling for Sir Rigen?

No! I must not! Her Highness has feelings for Sir Rigen so I must not rush myself into Sir Rigen to become the third one. I would ruin my ruler's happiness if I take Sir Rigen away from her, I must stop thinking about Sir Rigen!

But I could not stop thinking about Sir Rigen, I was losing my mind for some reason, not good! I must do something to stop myself from thinking about Sir Rigen!

I closed my eyes but Sir Rigen kept appearing and disappearing in my mind so my body wanted him for more! I must stop now!

I immediately used my left hand to cover my mouth and touched my right hand to my below, it was wetting when I was thinking about Sir Rigen's body. Maybe using my fingers to relieve myself while thinking about Sir Rigen would make me calmer...but if I do that then I have cheated on Hermann and become the third one in Her Highness's eyes.

"Hermann, I'm sorry to be a bad woman...I have cheated on you...I'm not faithful anymore...I'm sorry..."

"My Highness...please forgive me...though I have a feeling for Sir Rigen...but I won't take him away from you...I will keep my distance from him..."

After whispering those regretted words, I immediately relieved myself while keeping my mouth shut to not let Sir Rigen know I was hiding in the closet.

Rigen's perspective

I was now doing push-ups, it was quite much now because I heated up fast and went straight to workout. I was struggling to do more because I was exhausted while trying to push on more reps.

Come on! Only this one more time and you would make 255 reps! Haah! My body was so heavy so I immediately dropped to the floor and then slowly got up.

I immediately walked around the room to cool down my body, I would wait for more than 60 seconds or longer before heading to do more pushups. When I was walking around the room and looking at the scenery outside of the windows, I heard some strange noises coming out from the closest behind me.

"Advisor, heard something?"

"No, why did you ask me?" - Why did Advisor's voice was so panicked when it was an AI? Maybe...it has emotions? Bullshit, this was not Detroit: Become Human

"I heard some noises come out of the closet, did someone get in there last night?"

"No, John! If there was someone inside the room, I would have called you, you may just hear things, keep looking outside."

"I must stay on high alert, maybe there is someone there, I must go check it out...did you hide me something, metal scrap?"

"Of course not, I'm very honest!" - Well, maybe I should not need this scrap to isekai with me, I could survive alone in this world with guns, should I sell Advisor to someone to earn money?

"I said no one is there, godammit! Listen to me, John!"

"John! I just said to you there is no one there! Hear me!"

Advisor kept saying to me there was no one inside the closet but I ignore it and went toward the closet to find out what or who was inside it. Maybe Advisor had left its mission last night so someone got in here, I must find out what was inside the closest for sure.

"No one is there, keep doing pushups, John!!!" - Advisor was so suspicious of me, maybe I should not believe it

I have already near the closet now and was about to open it up, I was wondering who or what was inside there. Advisor kept yelling to tell me to stop so I felt it was very suspicious, I was about to open the closet's door now.

"Sir Rigen, are you awake?" - A woman's voice called me outside the door, that was Princess Shera

Shera's perspective

I have already woken up so I immediately wore my clothes and then went toward Sir Rigen's room right away, I was wondering if he has woken up or not. Sir Rigen was truly my love, my heart has beaten very much since the first day I met him, I love Sir Rigen, I didn't want to see him die, I would protect him at all costs.

But I woke up a bit earlier than usual so maybe Sir Rigen did not wake up yet, maybe I should call for him before opening the door without his permission. Alright, I was in front of Sir Rigen's room door, if he was still sleeping in there then I would apologize to him if I disturb his sleep.

"Sir Rigen, are you awake?" - I hope I won't disturb my love's sleep!

A few seconds later, the door has been opened but only opened half of it, Sir Rigen headed his head out of the door as if he was wondering why did I call him so early in the morning. With the way Sir Rigen acted by opening half of the door, I think he was staying cautious with me, did he scare me for some reason?

"Good morning, Sir Rigen..." - My face has a bit red when I have to look at Sir Rigen directly,

"Oh, that's you, Princess? Get inside, don't just stand there." - Sir Rigen allows me to go inside and then he opened the door

When Sir Rigen opened the door completely, in front of me was him with his upper body fully naked, Sir Rigen's chest has a long scar that was marked on his upper right chest to his below-left chest, that scar seemed to be a scar of war. Sir Rigen hung his white shirt with no sleeves, which he called a tank top to a chair nearby, Sir Rigen was now sweating as if he has exercised or something.

Sir Rigen's body...gulp! His body seemed very muscular, especially his upper body, the one that I loved was in front of me and he was sweating. Why did my face be so shy and so red? Sir Rigen seemed to be confused at what I was acting.

"Ahhh! I'm sorry!" - I immediately turned my back and close my eyes

I didn't know why I was a little excited when I saw Sir Rigen in that appearance, his naked upper body looked so...gulp! Ahh, again! I have to hold my breath to calm myself down. Sir Rigen seemed to notice my shyness so he closed the door, in a minute later, Sir Rigen opened the door again and I saw he has fully dressed, his body was still sweating but better than before.

Sir Rigen's magic item - Advisor was now being placed on a table that was near a window that has sunlit, Sir Rigen has taken off his magic item for some reason.

"Sorry, Princess! I just have wiped my sweat, I'm sorry to let you see me in that appearance." - I slowly walked inside Sir Rigen's room though my face was still red

John's perspective

Princess has already been here for me, maybe she got here to check up on me, according to the conversation that I told Advisor to eavesdrop on last night, Shera seemed fine to me, she was not my enemy. But Shera was a Princess, she was a little sister of Hoster so even if she didn't hostile toward me then she would be used by her brother, I cannot let my guard down.

"Why did you come to visit me so soon, Princess?" - I must ask this Princess for more details, did she get here by her brother's order?

"I'm so worried about you, Sir Rigen! In the last night's discussion, I was very worried because my brother said he wants to k-"

"I already knew about that, Princess! Your brother wants to kill me."

"How did you know that, Sir Rigen?" - Shera seemed very shocked when she heard that info

"That doesn't matter, Princess! The thing I need to know now is how to go outside without being chased by the crowds, the people here are dangerous to me, I can deal with your brother later, but now I want to go outside."

"Sir Rigen, my brother told me there is a clothes shop outside of this inn, it's just next to it, you can see it out of the windows, you see?" - Shera pointed her right hand out of the window

I looked in the direction that Princess pointed to and saw there was a large wooden building which was next to the inn a few steps of walking, that place was a clothes shop? I didn't notice, if Shera didn't tell me that place was a clothes shop then must not known about it.

"Sir Rigen, most of the crowds here didn't know your name or see your face yet so please don't worry."

"But most of the people only knew about the strange clothes that you wore when you went with us on the streets, why don't you buy some clothes to change? The people here will surely don't recognize you."

"But Princess, I don't want the people to see me when I go outside, can you go to buy me clothes instead...I know I will owe you the money but I will pay you."

"But the street outside is now very empty, the people here don't wake up this soon, I will lead you there to buy you some clothes, what do you think, Sir Rigen?"

"Thank you, Princess."

I later left my modern weapons and my military bag inside the Inn, I only brought a sword and went outside of the inn with Princess Shera, I was about to check the strange thing that was inside my closet but I think I would check it later when I return.

The street was quite silent and empty, only the two of us on the road so we fastly went inside the clothes shop without being detected by the people. We got inside the street and saw an aged man who wore wealth and was standing at the wooden stall, that person seemed to be a shop owner.

The shop owner was ordering the people who wore white uniforms that seemed to be his employees to bring clothes out of the storage and hang them on the prop, the shop must have noticed us so he looked behind.

"Oh, customers here at this time? So soon! We are about to open the shop, customers, please wait for a few minutes."

The shop owner saw me and Shera and he slowly walked toward us, the man didn't look at Shera but at me, he glared his eyes and my clothes, maybe this man already knew my identity, maybe he would not willing to sell me the clothes.

"Don't be cautious like that, young man! I'm not the people who joined the crowds to riot around the inn, don't be worried." - The shop owner smiled at me as if he greeted me truly

"Well, those people are very stupid, I only care about selling things, I have seen some cases like this but I didn't care, if I care about the others' problems, I cannot sell anything."

"Young man, I don't care if my customers are normal people or powerless people, they have money to buy my clothes then I will serve them, welcome to my shop."

"The one who comes first will be served first, you two are the first customers that come to my shop this soon, do you lady here want to buy something?" - The shop owner asked Shera

"No, I only need to buy clothes for this Sir, I hope you can help him."

"So Sir, what kind of clothes do you want to buy?"

"The clothes that have the features that can help me to hide my identity, shop owner! I want to buy the clothes that have the hoods."

"As you wish, young man! Please Sir and Lady here follow me to the clothes, I will lead you the way." - The shop owner told us to follow him so I and Shera followed

The shop owner later led me to the area that has the hooded clothes, wearing hoods would at least help me to hide my face a bit, I only needed these clothes for that only reason, I didn't like to wear them so attractively, drawing too much attention to myself was not what I like.

"Sir Rigen, what's about this one?" - Shera pointed her hand to white hooded clothes that seemed very costly, I didn't have aesthetic eyes but I could sense how costly the clothes

"The clothes you chose are so outstanding, Shera! I want clothes that look normal."

"That's so?" - Shera sighed as if she was excited to buy me some clothes but she was disappointed when the clothes she wanted to choose for me were not my favorite

Well, I let this Princess choose the clothes for me, at least she was a kid in my eyes so I let her do things with me a bit, letting a kid choose the clothes for me was fun. But the clothes Shera chose for me were mostly outstanding, maybe this Princess wanted to see me wear well clothes but I didn't need them, all I wanted was to have clothes that looked normal.

After a long time of freely letting Shera choose my clothes, I sighed and then took green hood clothes that were the farthest from the others. The clothes I chose were the most normal for me, these clothes also have a green color to camouflage, which was good for me to use, I would choose thing one.

"I will choose this one, shop owner." - I raised the green hood clothes to let the shop owner see

"No, Sir Rigen! That green cloak is very normal compared to your noble rank, let me choose the good ones for you," - Shera frustrated because she thought I was a noble, my world didn't have a noble system anymore, poor Princess! Being tricked and also believing what I told

"No, Shera! The clothes you chose for me are very outstanding, this one is alright, I will buy it."

"But..." - Shera wanted to say something but then she stopped

"I'm sorry, Sir Rigen! If that's your choice then I won't disturb you." - Shera lowered her head as if she was mad when I didn't let her choose for me the clothes

"The price of that green cloak will be 520 Atta coins, young man."

"Shera, do you bring any Atta coins?"

"No, I only have Gel coins, Sir Rigen."

"Lady, 1 Atta coin is priced 10 Gel coins, the price is 5.200 Attas" - It's good that the shop owner told us the price

Shera later pulled out a brown bag that seemed to be a money bag, she later took out coins and then counted, the time to count the count was very long because Shera has to make sure that she pulled out exactly 5.200 Attas to pay for the owner. After a few minutes of counting, Shera has given to the shop owner exactly 5.200 Attas, she stored 5.200 coins in another bag that the shop owner has prepared for us and then both of us went outside of the shop.

"Thank you very much, customers! Please come again the next time." - The shop owner said to us goodbye when both of us went away from the shop

We later went back to the Inn when the street has now crowing people, the time we bought the clothes was quite long, took more than half an hour, I went side of my room with Princess and noticed that my room has been intruded by a stranger when we were away.

The closet's doors have been opened up and Advisor fell on the floor, luckily that Advisor was made of thick material so I didn't break if it fell to the ground. I looked inside the closet and saw some water inside but I didn't care, I only care about who was the one intruded in my room.

Someone must have tried to steal Advisor has given up, Advisor, when its battery was being charged, was very hot, no one can take against its heat, I also looked around and saw nothing has been stolen except Advisor. The intruder only wanted to steal my Advisor or that person had targeted it first before thinking to steal the other ones but later gave up when Advisor burned the person's hand.

The person that intruded into earlier my room may be someone from Hoster's soldiers, but who was that person? I later thought about Reimi, I didn't see her in the morning. Reimi was Princess' servant so she only took orders from her master but Reimi was a muscle brain, she could be used by Hoster to harm me, though Shera and Reimi were fine to me but I must double-check at once.

"Princess, tell me where is Reimi? I want to see her right now."

Reimi's perspective - 30 minutes ago

Luckily that Sir Rigen and Her Highness have gone out of the room a minute later, Sir RIgen was very near the closet at that time and he was about to open it out. I didn't know what to explain to Sir Rigen if he saw I was masturbating inside his room's closet, I would be very ashamed if he saw me do that.

But I stopped masturbating when the two of them went away from the room, my water was so many on the floor, I should stop thinking about Sir Rigen now. Her Highness was in love with him, I must forget about Sir Rigen, I cannot become the third one in their love, I must stop!

I sneaked outside to make sure there was no one in the room and then noticed Sir Rigen's magic item - Advisor was now placed on a table that was near the sunlit. Her Highness told me to pay respect to Sir Rigen's privacy so I didn't ask Sir Rigen about his magic item, I was curious about it.

I wanted to talk with that "metal box" myself before going back to my room to sleep and also to try to forget about Sir Rigen while sleeping, I must stay out of Sir Rigen for Her Highness's happiness.

I was sleepy but I think at least I should make friends with Advisor, that thing could talk so I hope it can give me some advice to stay away from Sir Rigen, my mind was so blank when I kept thinking about Sir Rigen, I must stop!

But I felt Advisor was strange when I stood up and looked at it, its board was black instead of green when it talked to us, so strange. But I also remembered before Advisor talked to us, Sir Rigen had pushed a thing like a button under it, I wondered where was the button.

"Hey, Advisor! Wake up! It's already morning! Ahhhhhh!" - Advisor was very heating for some reason when I grabbed it, the heat was very hot, it burned both of my hands

I immediately dropped Advisor on the floor and saw it didn't have any scratches or breaks when it hit the floor but it was very hot.

Ahh! My hands were now burning! Mama! Mama! Advisor was hotter than a hot pot, it hots like hell! I must clean my hands now!

I immediately ran out of the Inn and looked around, no people were outside and I was very lucky because around my position has a small waterfall so I immediately dip both of my hands into the water.

The pain was still going on though I was dipping my hands into the water to cool my hands down from the burn, luckily that no one was around this place and the people inside the inn were still sleeping or I would be very ashamed if someone saw me in this situation.

After solving my hands' problem with the waterfall, I went back to the Inn slowly while looking around, no one has woken up yet. I go into my room, which was also Her Highness's room and lay on the bed and tried to sleep, but how can I sleep when my hands were still burning like this?
