An Old Promise Of Friendship(3)

"Looks like she has arrived." Lex smiled.

Dark clouds gathered outside the mansion followed by the sound of thunder rumbling in the sky.

[ I think you should go stop her before she causes a storm to take down the mansion. ]

'Yeah, you are right.'

Getting up from the sofa, Lex dashed towards the doors of the mansion. Exiting the doors, he made his way outside and looked at the sky.

A bunch of clouds surrounded the mansion and amidst the clouds was Rio. Lightning occasionally flickered around her body, giving her a formidable experience.

"I am fine, Rio! You don't need to worry!" Lex shouted towards the sky.

Rio turned her head downwards and saw Lex standing outside the mansion. She jumped down from the sky, landing directly in front of him.

"Thank god, you are alright." Rio sighed in relief. 

She wrapped her arms around Lex's back to hug him. However, when she felt his bare wounds touching her hands, Rio paused. A grim expression appeared on her face when she realized that Lex was injured.

"I was hurt a bit but it's fine. I managed to injure Mahiru and forced her to run away." Lex explained.

"A bit? Your entire back is scathed!"

"Hey, I am alive and walking, aren't I? Such injuries are common in battle."

"You…" Rio wanted to curse Lex. Deep inside, she knew that he was correct. Avoiding injuries as a rookie was not possible.

"Though I wouldn't mind if you nursed me back to health in a nurse outfit." Lex grinned.

"You want to be dominated by a nurse? You are pretty kinky." A sly smile appeared on Rio's lips.

She dismissed the clouds above the mansion and began walking inside with Lex.

"I don't see any water," Lex commented after seeing Rio's empty hands.

"I got us water pills. They will last us till the deadline so need to worry about that. Food is already present in the mansion and I picked up some food pills too. We are all set."

"I see. By the way, did you have to fight your way to the mansion?"

"Some dumbasses tried to stall me but I got through them quickly. I flew here as fast as I could to help you but you were safe. How did you win against Mahiru?" Rio asked curiously.

"It's long story. I will tell you while you apply some medicine on my back."

"You were serious about the nurse cosplay thing…"

"That was a joke, Rio. My back is burning so I need you to put some medicine on me."

"I know, I am just teasing you." Rio chuckled. "Also, I forgot to buy one last kind of pills."

"What kind of pills?"

"Birth controls."

"HUH?!" the unexpected reply caused Lex to cough. He wanted to ask Rio about birth control pills but the random timing took him by surprise.

"Why are you so shocked? Don't tell me that you wanted to have a baby with me so soon."

Rio touched her lips with her right index finger, acting as an innocent lady. Lex's jaw twitched from her acting.

"I didn't expect you to mention baby pills. That's why I was shocked."

"Hehe, its fine. Go to the my room and you will find some wipes on the desk. Use them to clean your back. I will be back with some first aid."

Lex and Rio split up and headed their separate ways

[ Lex, I forgot to mention this but there is a way for both of you to get stronger without worrying about Rio becoming pregnant. ]

'Elfie, you have to do something about that memory of yours. You forget so many important things.'

[ I am linked to you so my memory is like yours. ]

'I remember everything.'

[ Says the guy who doesn't remember the name of his own father. ]

'Please continue telling me about the method.' 

[ Remember how I explained the yin and yang concept? Both of you can absorb the sources of yin and yang energy from each other's bodies to get stronger. ]

'Sources… what exactly are these sources of energy?'

[ In simpler terms, your love juices. Since Rio would be using your semen to get stronger, it wouldn't remain in her body and she wouldn't get pregnant. ]

'I have so many questions but I will ask them later. We need a way to convince her to do this. I don't think I can just tell her that absorbing my semen is going to make her strong.'

[ That is obvious. We will have to convince her first. Don't worry, I have thought of a plan. ]

Lex entered Rio's room and grabbed the wipes. Sitting down on the bed, he removed his shirt and began wiping his back.

Elfie conveyed her plan to Lex. The latter was a bit skeptical about it but eventually agreed to follow the plan.

Rio entered the room after a few minutes. She held a first-aid box in her hands.

"You are looking enticing right now." She commented after seeing Lex's bare upper body.

"I look enticing with and without my clothes." Lex winked.

"You seem to be learning from me. I am proud." 

Rio sat on the bed behind Lex and took the wipes from his hand. She cleaned the spots on his back that Lex couldn't reach with his hands.

[ You could have use your telekinesis to reach those spots. ]

'And miss having a beauty care for me?'

[ Whatever you say, boss. ] 

Rio finished wiping the wounds on Lex's back. She opened the first aid box, taking out some medicine and wrapping cloth.

The bubble explosions caused some nasty cuts on his back. Rio gently rubbed medicine on his wounds, not looking fazed by them.

She took hold of the wrapping cloth and wrapped it around the area which suffered the worst damage. With skillful hands, she secured the wrapping.

"You are so good at this." Lex said in an amazed tone.

"I used to tend to my brother. He injured himself a lot." Rio replied, a sad look passing on her face.

Seeing the expression of sadness, Lex thought that it was best for him to shift the topic of conversation.

"Before I tell you how I defeated Mahiru, I want to show you something." Lex extended his right hand toward Rio.

She grabbed his hand without any hesitation or questions.

"Don't get surprised. What we will be seeing has already happened." Lex warned Rio before giving the signal to Elfie.

[ Memory has been chosen. ]

[ Memory Replay has started! ]
