Chapter 9!
Ok i don't own gacha world, i'm getting a little tired of saying it every chapter. Ok so i'm going to keep trying to update this a bunch but it may be a little slow soon. Since well, Christmas is coming. Anyway, happy holidays.
Sora POV
My body was aching and protesting with every movement I made, I had successfully pushed back the invaders and currently repair crews were working on the wall.
"Hey sora?" Ellie's voice broke through the silence that had slowly enveloped us.
"Yah? Wassup"
"Do we have enough money to sleep in an inn and eat food?" the little fairies eyes were filled with hunger, a tiny bit of mischief filled my head and I grinned inwardly.
"Sadly we don't have enough money" I forced a sad expression onto my face, a quick glance told me that Ellie was close to tears. "We have… more than enough money!" I laughed before picking up the tiny fairy and spinning her around. The look on her face when I did that was one I would never forget, or at least remember till next week.
"Yay!" Ellie squealed, and soon she was laughing with me as we spun around.
"Um excuse me" Sana walked toward us.
"Yah, do you need something?" I asked before taking in her appearance. Sanas arms were caked in dried blood and her hair was in tangles, I guess taking care of the wounded was harder than I thought.
"No i was going to ask if you wanted to stay at my house tonight to thank you for defeating all those monsters" there was a faint red on the maids cheeks but I wasn't going to say anything.
"Oh sure, we were going to go find somewhere to eat anyway" I answered, Ellie looked up at me before hovering onto my shoulder and smiling at sana.
"Ok, just follow me!"
2 hours later
"Aaaah" Ellie let out a pleasured groan as she sank into the refreshing waters of the hotspring behind Sana's house. "I can feel the aches of the forest melting away"
I stood beside her, still wondering if I should enter or not, the towel I was holding in my hand started to get heavier and heavier as it collected water from the steam.
"Sora aren't you going to go in?" Sana asked me as she slowly stepped into the water, I swallowed hard and sank into the water far away from the 2 females. I mean technically I was also female but this would be my first time bathing with others since my memory had disappeared.
"Sora… may I ask how old you are?" Sana spoke up, I could barely see anything in the steam but there was her vague shape slowly coming closer.
"Ah! I-i t-think 14?" The steam was no longer helping to hide Sana's body from me as she continued to get closer and closer.
"14? Well ok, I thought you were younger since you had not developed yet" My embarrassment vanished and I gave her a deadpan look.
"Don't judge people by their bodies" my voice had a dangerous edge when I said that.
"Oh don't worry Sora! I'm sure you will grow as you get older, I mean Ellie has to be older than you as well since she is also bigger than you in that region" Sana then pointed at my chest making me blush.
"Actually how old are you Ellie?" I tried to change the subject away from me.
"Um… a month old i think!" Ellie laughed, my jaw dropped and all sana did was laugh.
"How!" I finally regained myself from the surprise.
"I was born when Sora was chosen to be the gacha summoner" the little fairy giggled and floated out of the water and patted my head. I turned my face away from her so not to accidentally see something I wouldn't forget. Eventually sana and Ellie floated off and talked of other things allowing me to finally have a little relaxation.
The water did seem to drag all of the aches and pains out of my bones, my body felt like it was melting ever so slowly. The knots in the shoulders unravelled as I sank deeper into the water until only my head was above the gentle waves.
Tomorrow was a new day, perhaps something exciting would happen…
