Pervert

The whole room was underwater, and the two then went on top of each other and started fighting. It was strange to see them fighting because even though they were underwater, their movements were normal. It was as if they were fighting out of water.

Gen looked around and then said, "Guys, you need to stop."

And Zoe said without even looking at him, "You stay out of this pervert."

Briny then said, "Stop making a big deal out of nothing, Zoe. You said you met him on the beach earlier. Were you, by any chance, wearing clothes on the beach?"

Zoe then stopped where she was and said half-heartedly, "Well ..."

And Briny said, "You were wearing a bikini, weren't you? As far as I know, a bikini shows a lot more than he saw now."

Zoe then said, "T-That was different from now."

"Different, how?"

"At the time, I was aware of what I was showing, and now I've been taken by surprise."

Briny then frowned and said, "Are you making all this chaos just because of that?"

And Zoe said angrily, "You know I'm not! You're the one who kept provoking me to this point!"

"And you deserved it! Who knows, maybe next time your sister comes to visit, you'll give her a little more attention! You didn't even look at my face! And I bet if I'd been alone, you wouldn't have stopped staring at that paper until I left." 

"You don't understand. That paper has important information about our region that I, as guild leader, need to be aware of."

Gen then raised his hand and said, "Excuse me."

And Zoe said, "What is it, pervert?"

Gen then said, a little annoyed, "First of all, my name is Gen, not Pervert. I may have looked at your breasts, and I admit it, but that's no reason for me to be called that."

And Zoe said, "Okay, Gen. Is that what you wanted to talk about?"

"Not really. That was just something that came up at the time. What I really want to talk about is these very important papers you were talking about."

Zoe then said, confused, "What about them?"

And Gen said, "Well, with all this water, even if the paper doesn't tear, the ink is sure to smear everything that's written on it."

Zoe then looked at her desk and saw her papers and several other documents floating around the room.

She then put both hands on her head and said, agitated, "It's true! Bri, help me drain this water fast. I can't lose these papers."

And Briny said, "Fine, but you have to promise to talk to Gen."

"Fine. Whatever. I can even show him my cleavage again. Just help me out."

"Okay, but where are we going to dump all this water?"

Zoe then started to look around her room and said, "I got it. Let's use the window."

And Briny said, "Are you crazy? There's no way we can dump this quantity of water in the street."

"Yes, there is. What we can't do is lose the information on these papers."

"Don't you have any other solution?"

"Not fast enough."

Briny then said, "Gen, do you have any ideas?"

Gen then tried to think of how to get that water out of there and, after a few seconds, said, "Hm, I think I have a solution."

And Zoe asked, "What is it? Talk fast. We don't have time."

"Do you have some kind of container here? A cup, for example."

Zoe then frowned and said, "Yes. I have a cup in my drawer, but what good is a cup?"

And Gen said, "Just give it to me quickly."

Zoe then went to her desk, grabbed a cup from one of the drawers, and handed it to Gen. He then held the cup with both hands, and black mist started coming out of his body and went towards the inside of the cup.

After some time doing that, he said, "There. Now help me bring the water into this glass."

And the two then said, "Okay."

They then started to create a current in the water that caused the water to start going towards the glass, but the water couldn't get into the glass because the place Gen was standing in wouldn't let the water in.

Briny then said, "Gen, you need to let the water in."

And Zoe said, "Yeah. You don't have to be afraid to get a little wet."

Gen then said, "I know, just give me a few seconds, and I'll get rid of this water.", Gen then closed his eyes and put his hands together. He turned his hands around, and separated them. Two circles then appeared, and Gen brought them into the cup.

He then said, "Endless vortex.", and then put the opening of the cup against the water, which caused the water to begin to be sucked into the cup. The water then started being sucked in rapidly, and after a few seconds, all of it was gone.

Gen then put the glass down, put it on the table, and said, "There. Resolved."

Zoe ran over to her papers, picked them up, and began to look at them one by one.

After a while, she slumped in her chair and said with relief, "Whew! They're soaking wet, but at least they're not damaged."

And Gen said, "That's great."

Zoe then looked at him, stood up, walked towards him, and said, stretching out her hand, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have lost all these documents."

And Gen stood up, shook her hand, and said, "No problem. After all, if I hadn't come here, none of this would have happened."

"Well, you're right, hahaha.", and then she went back to her chair, and Gen sat back in his.

Zoe then used her essence to get the water out of her hair and threw it into the cup, which drew the water in. 

Then she said, "I hate fighting with you, Bri. I always end up soaking wet."

As Briny was wiping the water off her clothes, she said, "Tell me about it."

Zoe then went to wipe the water off her shirt, and as she looked at it, she remembered something. Then she looked in the direction of Gen, who was looking at her.

She then covered her breasts and said, "Hey! What were you looking at?"

And Gen looked at her face and said, "At your breasts."

"Aren't you even going to pretend at all?"

And Gen said, scratching his head with one hand, "Well, I think we're past that point. Even if I said something else, you know what I was looking at."

"Men never change."

"You're damn right they don't, hahaha."

"Well, please leave the room."

"Wait a minute. Weren't we going to talk? I promise it'll be quick. I just want some information."

"Gee. We'll talk. I want you to leave so I can change my clothes."

Gen was then in shock for a few seconds, and his mind started to wander somewhere far away, but before he could get there, he heard Zoe say, "Hey, what are you thinking?"

Gen then looked at her, stood up, and said, "I'd better leave. When you finish, call me outside.", and then he walked out the door.

Briny then giggled, and Zoe said, "Honestly ..."

Some time passed, and Gen heard Briny say, "Gen, you can come in."

He then opened the door and went toward the table. As he approached, he noticed that Zoe was wearing her official guild leader outfit. It covered most of her body and had the guild crest embroidered on a pocket on her chest.

Seeing Gen's gaze, Zoe said, "I've changed clothes, but you still can't take your eyes off my body. Impressive."

And Gen said, scratching his head with one hand, "I'm sorry. I was just curious to see this different outfit."

"That's okay. Have a seat. Let's get this over with. What kind of information are you after?"

"I'm looking for a ruin."

Zoe then frowned and said, "A ruin? What kind of ruin?"

And Gen said, "An ordeal."

Zoe then frowned again and said, "An ordeal? But you already have an essence. What do you want to find an ordeal for?"

And Gen said, "Well, I have my reasons."

Zoe then looked at him for a while and said, "Okay. Do you know any information about it?"

Gen then put a hand over his face thoughtfully and said, "Well, before I came here, I asked the guild leader of a city in the desert about this ruin, and he said it was around here. If I'm not wrong, I think it's called the flowing waters ruin."

Zoe then said, "Oh, is that the ruin you're looking for?"

And Gen said, a little surprised, "Yes. Do you know where I can find it?"

Zoe then said, "Yes. That's simple."
