Gathering Info and Bathing With Beauties!!

After freeing himself from the clutches of the king, Jinx began making his way around the castle to round up all his brothers. Even though they were all busy with other things such as burning bodies and cleaning up blood spills, they all dropped what they were doing immediately after Jinx said he needed them.

He gathered all of 5 of them and dragged them to a room on the first floor where he was sure they wouldn't be overheard. He had a couple things he needed them to do that he didn't want others to know about. If they wanted to survive outside in this brand new world then they had to learn everything they could.

"Okay, lets get down to business," Jinx said after closing the door to the room. He had chosen a storage closet for their meeting, of course the storage closet was still the size of a regular bedroom. "We need to discuss a few things about our current situation."

"Okay, so first off, apparently we can't go back to our own world" Jinx said, deciding to just get the bad news out of the way.

Josh and the others were all quiet, not bothering to say anything. It was apparent that they were confused but it seemed that they didn't have anything to say about it. Jinx found this odd but instead of asking them if they had questions he decided to continued.

"As we're stuck on this world permanently I want us to adjust as quickly as possible." Jinx flicked his green eyes over his brothers. "For the next three months, I'd like for each of you to study as much as possible about this world and then relay all the important information to each other and then to me."

It was then Josh decided to speak up. "Okay, we can do that but where exactly are we supposed to get this information? Its not like theres a libr....theres a library here right? You wouldn't have said to study of there wasn't."

Jinx nodded. "Library is on the second floor. I know I'm asking a lot of you guys, but you know I have reasons for doing this. Trust that I have a plan."

Henry took a step forward and placed his hand on Jinxs shoulder while also giving him a thumbs up. "It's alright Brother Jinx, we trust you. Your advice has never failed us before and I'm sure it won't now. We trust in you....right guys?"

Jinx broke into a small smile as the others nodded in response to Henry's words. "Thanks guys, I knew I could count on you. Lets do our best and show the world who the real kings are!!"

"Speaking of which brother Jinx," Josh said with a smirk. "We heard your getting married in 3 months to TWO princesses. How'd you manage that with your immense bad luck...did the world transfer suddenly transform all that bad luck into good luck?"

"Shut up Josh," Jinx said with a small laugh. "Theres a girl who appeared here named Jackey Felps.....you guys surely heard of her before. The number one beauty in our high school."

"Wait wait wait, your talking about the richest, most popular, and most sought after girl in Frost Central Highschool? THAT Jackey Felps? YOU TALKED TO HER??" Blaster took a step back in shock. "You who couldn't even stand it when Brianna Flins walked by? How'd you manage that?"

"Yeah thats the one," Jinx said, ignoring Blaster's insulting questions. "It turns out that she has the best luck in the city and probably the world. I'm talking literal good luck!!"

"Wait so your saying that its possible that her immense good luck negates your own bad luck as long as she's around you?" Josh caught onto what Jinx was implying rather quickly, his brown eyes lighting up with intrigue. "That would explain why nothing bad has happened after the whole royal kidnapping event. Also explains how you landed two extreme beauties as fiances."

"Please, they fell in love with my good looks and Herculean strength," Jinx said with a flex of his muscles, causing his brothers to laugh.

The 6 of them continued to joke around like that for another five minutes before a knock sounded on the door. A female maid poked her head in and smiled, "Excuse me for the intrusion Sir Vex and Sir Vex's brothers, but I've been asked to lead the six of you to the bath."

Jinx looked back at his brother with a smile before looking at the maid. "Hell yeah, I've been waiting for a bath since forever. Lead the way oh beautiful maid."

The maid opened the door fully and shook her head. "Actually Sir Vex, the king has requested that you use the royal bath instead as it suits your new status. Also he says that you'll find a pleasant surprise waiting for you in the royal bath."

Jinx was a bit confused. "What sort of surprise? Did he say what it was?" He couldn't figure out what the king was thinking when he requested this. He clearly had the choice to refuse but his curiosity was getting the better of him.

"My apologies but he wasn't very clear on the matter," The maid bowed low as she spoke, clearly apologetic that she was unable to tell him what he wanted to know. "Now if your brothers would please follow me, I'll lead them to the bath. The royal bath is on the second floor Sir Vex just across from the library. Clothes will be given to you after your bath and your current one will be thrown away as they appear useless."

Jinx didn't respond to her words other then to nod at her and look at his brothers. They all looked at him and after waiting for him to nod his head, they followed the maid out of the rather large storage closet.

"Hey guys," Jinx yelled as they were walking away. They all turned around to look at him curiosity on their faces. "It looks like you guys finally came out of the closet...I knew this day would come."

Jinx laughed as five middle fingers were raised before they all walked off. He knew he'd pay for that comment later, but it was still fun to mess with them. It was a corny joke but one he had been dying to use and now that he had gotten the chance to say it, he felt much better about the whole world transfer thing.

"Okay, now lets head to the bath," Jinx said as he walked out of the room and headed for the stairs. "Though I'm kinda sad to depart with the clothes I had for so long, I'm more curious about what sorta 'pleasant' surprise long Jonathan was talking about."

Jinx made his way up the stairs and headed to the library. He hadn't noticed a bath earlier when he visited the library, but he wasn't about to doubt the words of the maid. If she was lying tjen he could always asl another maid for directions.

The only thing he could fond across from the library was a plain white door. Considering the lack of anything else across the library, he assimed that this was the place. He pushed open the door and walked inside.

The inside looked like the entrance to a hotspring like he saw in anime where one would go to strip and put their clothes. The layout was pretty much the same as their were numerous shelves where one could put stuff. The entrance to the actual bath was behind a sliding door also similar to the one in anime and manga.

"Okay then, I guess I gotta strip," Jinx said as he began taking off his clothes. After they were off, he folded them as best he could and set it on one of the shelves. "I'm guessing that this will be gone before I get back. Goodbye old clothes."

Jinx sighed and walked over to the sliding door and opened it without hesitation. However, he wasn't prepared for what was on the other side and, after careful consideration, decided that old man Jonathan was a damn genius.

On the other side of the sliding door was a huge sprawling onsen that could easily fit twenty people. With statues surrounding the gigantic circle of water and various designs carved into the marble floor, it was truly a work of art. However, this was all mere background to what Jinx was staring at.

Sitting in the bath staring back at him in shock and embarassement were eight beauties. None of them were looking away, even after they noticed he was naked so Jonx didn't do so either.

The females were all seven sisters and Jackey. They all seemed highly embarassed but despite that, Jonx shrugged and made his way over to the bath. He didn't mind being stared at and would happily stare back.

Bathing with 8 beauties??? It felt like his bad luck was finally taking a long needed vacation!!
