Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 152 - Natural Innocence
Emi booked nine rooms at the Jajar Genjang Inn on the outskirts of Kuri Village. The female servants were amazed by the arrival of the warriors from the Fuyumi Clan. The figure of Shirayuki who had peerless beauty, made the peeping maid nervous to serve them.
Jajar Genjang Inn is on the outskirts of Kuri Village. The place that looks magnificent has enough facilities. A hot bath is also provided, even a lesehan breakfast by sitting together in the living room is the reason Emi choose Lodging Jajar Genjang to be their place to rest.
Sleeping clothes have also been provided, in fact the Jajar Genjang Inn is a women-only inn. Of course Nagato did not know that, so he was confused when he saw the women's clothes outside the hot tub. Nagato simply wrapped around his towel, revealing his seductive stomach shape with his face not covered in a white fox mask.
Nagato stepped out his legs full of confidence, and when he looked back how shocked he was. All that is written on a small board is a hot water pool specifically for women, the only thing that distinguishes the water pool is the division of the room. Nagato had just bathed in the hot spring one, his eyes turned to look at the boards of the two and three hot spring pools.
Not long after Nagato felt ashamed of himself, voices from Iris, Litha, Hika and Tika sounded in his ears. This was the first shame Nagato felt in his life, because when the door of the two hot tubs opened, Iris came out in white pajamas. Not until a minute later, Litha, Hika and Tika came out after Iris in white pajamas just like Iris.
"Did I go in wrong?" nagato's heart was aghast as he was afraid of getting insinuations from his female friends from the Fuyumi Clan.
Not long after the three-door hot spring opened, Shirayuki was seen in white pajamas and showed her beautiful curves. Behind Shirayuki was Oichi and Ichiba who were wearing white pajamas while wiping their hair using a towel. Nagato did not see Emi at all coming out of the three hot tubs.
Nagato closed his eyes and his face was flushed red withstanding the embarrassment, wanting it to feel like he had immediately escaped from this humiliating situation.
"Na .. ga?" the stammering voice of Iris made Nagato open his eyes slowly, Nagato eyes widened looking at Iris and the others' faces flushed red.
"Nagato, so you take a bath in a hot pool for girls." Shirayuki smiled as she walked up to Nagato and whispered softly in the ear of the young man who was close to her son. "Do you want to peek at Aunt Shirayuki's child?" Shirayuki's words made Nagato's face turn red, no words came out of Nagato's mouth other than her that held back the shame.
"Shirayuki's. The Jajar Genjang Inn is a female-only inn, I forgot that we were with Nagato." Emi's voice melted an embarrassing atmosphere for Nagato. Slowly Shirayuki moved away from Nagato and stroked the young man's hair gently.
Nagato looked at Emi full of annoyance, as the grandmother from Iris had brought her into a situation she did not want to experience.
"Based on old grandma!" batin Nagato was annoyed with Emi.
"Did you say something?" Emi raised her eyebrows and stared intently at Nagato.
There were no words coming out from Nagato's heart other than his shock at seeing Emi who looked like she heard the voice of his heart. Slowly Nagato turned his body around, and walked quickly as he wanted to immediately enter the room the inn had prepared.
Shirayuki smiled faintly looking back at Iris whose face was flushed red, she knew her son was embarrassed to see Nagato's upper body being exposed clearly.
"Why?" Shirayuki squatted down and looked at her son deeply.
"Mom, Iris is dizzy with her head." Iris collapsed onto her mother's body in front of her, her mind a little chaotic from looking at Nagato's upper body.
Iris still remembered how Nagato saved her life, the deep guilt in Iris's heart on Nagato was profound. Seeing Nagato's upper body made Iris recall her guilt.
Meanwhile Nagato who had washed his entire wet body using a towel was already wearing ordinary clothes. The white shirt and black pants he was wearing made him feel comfortable, as he walked out of his room and rushed towards the living room, the, the servants were surprised that there was a boy who was staying with the swordsman Klam Fuyumi.
Only with Nagato's good looks made them sculpt, not a single servant protested. Nagato casually sat down beside Iris who was waiting for her mother's arrival.
"Mom.." murmured Iris glanced at Nagato and blinked her eyes many times looking at Nagato's face.
"Why you?" Nagato's hand touched Iris' forehead and slightly stroked the delicate black hair of the girl beside him.
Iris was aware that the one beside her was Nagato because she was well aware of the young man's voice, her face was red and her gaze slowly blurred.
"Iris, drink this." Shirayuki came from behind towards Nagato and Iris. Iris hand picked up a glass of water that smelled like an herbal drink, Nagato could feel its warmth.
Iris drank the drink her mother gave her, sipped for a sip Iris drank it all up. Nagato is curious about Iris who looks different, considering herself having a weak body since birth, making Nagato assume that Iris has the same disease as him.
Not long after the innkeeper brought the food and drinks that were still warm, some of the servants were stealing glances at Nagato.
"Dragon.." Iris' voice that sounded so softly dispelled Nagato's uneasy feeling of being stared at by the female servant. "Sorry.." Iris's last words shocked Nagato. Nagato completely did not understand the meaning Iris was saying to him, only Nagato could tell at this moment Iris seemed to feel guilty towards him.
Nagato took the chicken meat with chopsticks and thrust it into Iris' mouth. Nagato's actions came to everyone's attention, Emi could see her grandson loved Nagato so much and vice versa. Iris opened her mouth timidly and chewed the chicken meat slowly.
"If sick. You have to eat a lot..." Nagato again thrust the chicken meat onto Iris' thin lips. Shirayuki laughed to herself looking at Nagato who looked so innocent in her eyes, as well as her son.
Iris's face was flushed red, there was a feeling of joy and happiness in her heart. Nagato's attention was full of him, the young man he first met was very different from the other young man. Iris opened her mouth and chewed the food.
Litha, Hika and Tika laughed softly at Nagato and Iris who were so close, there was no feeling of jealousy at all in Litha's heart seeing Nagato with Iris. It was only the first time that Litha saw Nagato who looked so cheerful, even though the young man's face did not show her joy, but Litha was well aware of that because she had grown up with Nagato.
With his relaxed face, Nagato ate chicken meat using chopsticks that bit Iris. After eating the sweet chicken meat, Nagato took the spicy chicken meat and ate it. Iris was about to eat by herself but Nagato quickly returned to feed the girl with other food. Without any shame, Nagato smiled warmly at the timid Iris.
Iris mouth opened again accepting Nagato's mouthful and chewing food, after swallowing the chicken meat she had just eaten, slowly Iris's face flushed red from the spiciness. Iris pinched Nagato's body.
"I don't like spicy food." Iris spoiledly looked at Nagato who was smiling warmly at her.
"I thought you liked her .. It turns out that we are both very different.." Nagato's voice made Iris feel guilty, but seeing Nagato smiling made her relieved.
"May be healed soon." Those were the last words Iris heard from the young man who was so considerate of her, the touch of Nagato's hand stroking his hair before leaving will be the most beautiful parting gift before his night's sleep.
