Chapter 12: Body Pillow

Shina's POV

Nika already finished her dinner. "I'm going to take a bath then I will go straight to your room, Ok?" she whispered to me and walk out of the dining room.

Nika already left while I still savor my food.

"Hey guys, did anybody saw Hiro?" One of my classmates asked.

"Oh, Hiro will going to eat at his own room." Shion answered.

"Huh? Why?" Another classmate asked.

Then I was shocked at the next thing Shion answered.

"He has a child to babysit."

"What the— HAHAHA!!! I didn't know Hiro is a babysitter too! HAHAHA!!!" The other boys started to laugh too.

"Guys! Have your table manners!" Kana said.

The whole room quieted again. I already finished eating my food so I stand up from my seat and left the dining room. I want to freshen a bit so I started walking towards the garden.

Once I step at the garden, I heard a child and a man laughing. I tried to find where this laughing sound came from, then there I saw the people's back. I was stunned because of the scene I saw in a wooden bench, there, sat a boy with baggy clothes and was being tickled and a tall man with black hair.

I unbelievably know who that man is... Hiro!

So this is the child who was being babysit by Hiro that Shion said. I watched them until I realized that Nika was still waiting in my room, so I quietly rush towards my

room.

I knock at my door, opened it and said, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

Then there I saw Nika who wore her panjamas and sulking at the side of the bed.

"Hmph!" Nika pouted and turned around.

"Ok, ok, let me take a bath then I will tell you the whole info, ok?"

"Hmph! That's only right thing for you to do, for you had me waiting for half an hour! I'll give you FIVE minutes for bathing." Nika said while her still back facing.

"Ok, ok, you hardcore fujoshi."

This time she turned around and said in an ojou-sama pose and tone, "HO HO HO, right I am, now bow down and beg for forgiveness!"

"Itai!!!*" ("Ouch!!!*" in jap.)

I flicked her forehead and said, "Hai, hai, ojou-sama*, stop with your fantasies, I'm going to take a bath now." Then I walked towards the bathroom in my room. ("Yes, yes, my lady/Ok, ok, my lady*" in jap.)

After bathing and wearing my night clothes, I went to my bed and started to give Nika what she wants.

"Ok, the third gender is called Ger. A Ger have everything that a man has, but it can give birth according to the lotus flower mark at their pulse, the darker the shade of the mark, the fertile the Ger."

"Ohh, that's all?" Nika asked.

"Nope." I answered.

"Ok, go on."

"Alright, so, do you know that among the 7 Demon Lords, there is a single one Ger among them?"

She held my shoulders, shake them and shouted at me, "WHO IS IT?! DONT GIVE ME CLIFFHANGERS YOU B*TCH!!!"

"HAHAHA, calm down, ok." Then I broke out from her hands and continued to say the info I got. "Ok here it is. So among the 7 Demon Lord, the Ger is the Demon Lord of Sloth. Demon Lord of Lust and Demon Lord of Gluttony are both girls, while Demon Lord of Pride, Demon Lord of Wrath, Demon Lord of

Greed and Demon Lord of Envy are boys.

The Demon Lord of Sloth's kingdom is called Mepa Kingdom, which is in the border between of the South Continent and the West Continent, which is now called The Abandoned Forest. And that's it."

"Ohh, Mepa Kingdom sounds familiar." Nika contemplated.

"Yup, Mepa Kingdom has the same name as the village where Aki will be staying, but somehow, he got killed on the way there, the Mepa Village. Isn't it in the south of the Liryo Kindom?"

"Yeah, I guess, a coincidence? Well then, let's stop talking about him anymore or else you will get emotional again. The night is not young anymore so I am going to sleep here, so good night." Nika said and then she turned of the lights.

"Yeah, good night." Then Nika and I lay at the same bed. Since the bed can accommodate 4 people so we just shared it, instead if one sleeping in the floor or on the couch.

'Is it really a coincidence that the Mepa Kingdom and the Mepa village has the same name? Or do they have any connection to each other?' Thinking to my self. 'Well then, let's just sleep for now.' Then I fell asleep after 30-ish minutes.

4:30 am~

I woke up feeling someone is squishing me. I looked around my room and saw Nika drooling and hugging my body like a koala.

I shook Nika to wake her up. "Hey! Nika, wake up! Your so heavy!"

"Fwive mwore mwinutes mom." Nika sleepily said while tightening her hug.

"Nika! Wake up! I'm not your f*cking body pillow! Your drool is already all over me!"

"Nnn!~"

"Awake now?"

Nika unleashed me from her hug and yawn. "Yesh~ gwood mworning~"

"I'm going to wash first, then let's head to the training grounds before your trainer drag to their." I said and then I stand up from my bed and went to my closet to take my training clothes.

"Hai!~"

I went to the bathroom to wash up and wear my training clothes. When I exits the bathroom, Nika groggily stood up and walk towards the bathroom holding her training clothes.

After Nika dressed up completely, we went to the training grounds to train. More than half of my classmates are already there and they're already training with their designated trainers. Nika and I went to our own trainers and started to train.

Our schedule is always like this; we wake up at 4:30 am and prepare everything for training for 30 minutes. At 5 am we need to be on the training grounds or else we will be punished for being late, 8 am will be our breakfast then we have 3 hours of free time, at 11 am we will resume our training till 5 pm. And that's our schedule for Monday to Thursday, while on Friday and Saturday, we will be exploring the dungeon to fight some monster for experience. And on Sunday is our day off, we can do whatever we want on that day.

3rd person's POV

At a dark room, stood there was a glowing small fountain with rocks underneath it. At the front of the fountain stood there a tall man with dark blue hair and eyes, looking at the scene that the water of the fountain making.

"I didn't know that you will be so fast to come back here, my lazy cat. Heh~, it's about time." said the man

Then suddenly a little boy with purple hair and eyes showed up in front of the fountain to and asked the man, "Hey Tim! Are you going back to the mortal world?"

"Yes, I'm just going to get what that mortal owed me."

The little boy shivered at the sight of the man's face "Hey! Your lecherous face are showing up!"

"Oh~ is that so? Then I got to go now Spae, tell Lit that I will go down now. Ba bye" the man waved goodbye and suddenly vanished

The little boy held his forehead and shook his head. "Sigh~ That loves struck fool."

Then the little boy vanished too. The glowing fountain's light became dimmer and dimmer until the room was covered in darkness.
