Chapter 8

Kioshi knew the burden of reaching level 29 as it mostly stopped people from rising any further in ranks.

Kioshi threw those thoughts at the back of his mind and switched off the TV. "I'll deal with it when it's time." There was no use stressing over something that isn't happening immediately.

He heard the water stop in the bathroom and guessed that Binna was done showering. He got up and headed towards the bathroom which was 2 doors left towards his room.

When he arrived infront of the bathroom door , it opened. Kioshi wasn't surprised and closed his eyes immediately.

"Oh , did you come to peek on me?" Binna said in a frivolous tone.

Kioshi shook his head and pointed towards the right indicating that she should move out of the way.

"Your chasing me away? How rude." If Kioshi's eyes weren't closed , he would be able to see Binna with her hair wet which improves her bodily figure. "Is it that your shy?" Binna always wondered why this guy never tried any advances on her. Is he gay or something?

With his eyes still closed , Kioshi responded. "No , I'm not shy. It's just wrong for an old lady to be standing infront of a younger male while trying to seduce him."

Binna , who heard those words , immediately got angry. 'Old lady?' This is the fifth time Kioshi has said those words towards while living under the same roof. She formed a fist with her fingers and punched Kioshi in the abdomen. She was still cautious and only used the minimal amount of strength a normal person can handle.

Kioshi who was the receiver of the attack , knelt down to his knees because of the pain. He didn't scream or complain , he knew women are sensitive about age but what was he supposed to say? Compliments were to out of character for him.

Binna sneered and walked away towards her room. She slammed the door once she was inside.

"Women are to troublesome for someone my age." Kioshi grunted and stood up. He noticed that the pain visibly healed faster. Was this because he awakened his ability or was it because he increased his rank?

He decided to leave it be and walked in the bathroom while locking the door behind him. He took of his clothes and threw it inside the washing machine that was next to the wall. He inputted the settings for the machine and pressed start. He heard the sound of the machine and nodded.

He walked towards the shower and saw his towel on top of the sink. 'Why is it here?' Did he forget it here? He would figure it out later. He went inside the shower and turned on the tap that had a red logo on it. The water started pouring down on his body and started to get warmer. He sighed in relief and cleaned his body with a bar of soap that was infront of him on a steel surface.

It only took him 20 minutes to clean himself completely. He made sure to clean every inch of his body including in-between his toes.

He used his hands to go through his hair upwards so the water could stop dripping down from it but it was of any use.

He walked out of the shower and took his towel from the sink. It was dry which made him confused since the sink still had water inside of it which didn't completely go down the drain.

He would ask Binna when he got dressed. He wrapped the towel below his waist and walked out of the bathroom. He headed towards his room when he saw Binna walking down the staircase. "Binna , explain to me something."

Binna , who was walking down the staircase , halted. She slowly turned her head towards Kioshi. "Y-Yes?."

"Why was my towel in the sink." He didn't want to play games and went straight to the subject.

"Uh..." Binna started to visibly sweat a little. The pressure on her started show. "It....fell down on the ground so I left it in the sink to...get clean?" She sounded unsure herself when she said those words.

"In the sink? So your saying it's supposed to be wet , right?" Kioshi narrowed his eyes.

"Yes!" Her voice sounded sure when he said that. She felt like she was forgetting something.

"Oh , I understand. So why , when I found it in the sink , it was dry." Kioshi continued his investigation.

"Uh.. I...." She couldn't respond anymore.

"Just tell me the truth." Kioshi had enough. Asking questions was time wasting and he was getting cold.

"Fine. I'll tell you." She sighed and turned her body towards him.
