I slept so soundly that I only woke up in the afternoon, I felt my body full of sweat from sleeping under the covers and I wanted to get rid of all this sweat with cold water.
I rushed to the bathroom inside this large room, took off all my clothes as quickly as I could, and immediately poured cold water all over my body that just so happened to have been prepared in a large container made of wood.
“Oh, this is probably the bathtub of this era,” I muttered after I was satisfied with the cold water. Then I looked for soap to clean all parts of my body to make it feel more comfortable.
After all, it doesn't feel good to shower without soap, it feels like something is missing and not clean.
“What kind of soap is this? Why is there so little foam? Doesn't it smell good?” I asked after scrubbing the soap in the bathroom, as my mind immediately recalled the fragrance of Mama Laura's body, which smelled very good to my nose.
However, I couldn't find that kind of fragrance in the soap I was currently using, instead it smelled like cow fat.
“If I'm not mistaken, people in the 21st century used animal fat to make soap. Hmm, could it be that technology in this world is still outdated even though people can use magic?” I wondered after recalling the history of soap.
After dealing with the soap, I looked for toothpaste in the bathroom, but I couldn't find any and there was only a small piece of wood with a tasseled end.
“Oh my, this must be a miswak, right? Well, it's a hassle if there's no toothpaste here,” I protested as I used the miswak to clean my teeth.
Siwak itself is the end of an arok tree branch that is cut and peeled, then the fibers are used as a toothbrush. I at least still knew about this kind of information because of the demands of the history subject assignment when I was in college.
In short, I spent almost half an hour in the bathroom. I was just like a girl when I was taking a shower, probably because it was a habit in my old world.
I then put on the clothes that were available in Edward's closet, I chose clothes that I thought were not too complicated and comfortable when I wore them.
The reason is, there are no T-shirts and pants here, all the clothes are shaped like medieval clothes, including the underwear I'm wearing right now.
“Well, this just looks cool, I don't like wearing long shirts,” I said after rolling up the sleeves of the shirt to the elbow limit.
Then I took another look at my figure in the mirror and found that Edward's haircut looked very geeky after a shower.
“I doubt there is a salon in this world, or do I just try to cut my own hair?” I asked myself, I immediately found the scissors and was about to tidy up my red hair.
I unconsciously imagined Leonardo Dicaprio's hairstyle when he was young, more precisely Leonardo Dicaprio's hairstyle in the movie Titanic.
“If only I could get a haircut in that style, it would fit perfectly with this Edward's face,” I muttered, my hands tingling instantly, then my hands moved on their own and shaved my hair just like that.
“Oh my... Oh my... Oh my god... What the hell is this? Why can't I control my hand?” I said in a panic.
I tried my best to stop my hand from moving, but it was all in vain as if my hand had a mind of its own. It wasn't until my haircut completely changed to that of Leonardo Dicaprio that my hand stopped moving and I could control it again.
Tang!
Tang!
Tang!
A sudden noise came from the direction of my bedroom door, I looked over and found a beautiful girl standing there staring at me with wide eyes.
I looked back down at the steel trays and plates scattered around, food automatically scattered everywhere.
However, that wasn't the focus of my attention, this beautiful girl had very adorable ears, as well as a long little tail wagging behind her.
'Half-cat girl, she really is a half-cat girl, isn't she? Wait a minute, when did she start working here? How come she's not in Edward's diary?' I thought excitedly.
I rushed over to the half-cat girl, I waved my hand in front of her face to wake her up from her shock.
“Are you okay? Does your body hurt?” I asked as I looked directly into her eyes.
Unfortunately she didn't respond, which made me very worried.
“Hey, are you sick?” I asked again, now sticking my forehead to hers a la in the anime I've watched. It is said that this method is very effective for checking the health of other people's bodies.
“Ah... I'm fine, Young Master,” the half-cat girl replied looking nervous. She then took a few steps back to keep her distance from me.
“It's a good thing you're fine,” I said as I squatted down, cleaning up the trays and plates still lying on the floor.
“Please don't be like that, Young Master. Let me do it,” prevented the half-cat woman, rushing to help me deftly, she also did not forget to clean the floor from the leftover food using the white cloth attached to her waist.
I took a good look at the girl's face from the side, she was really pretty in that maid outfit, which harmonized perfectly with her cat ears and tail.
My hand couldn't resist at this rate, so I immediately reached forward and gently stroked the girl's ear.
'Great, it feels really soft like a real cat's ear,' I thought.
I continued to hold another part, namely on the tail which had been moving around. I gently stroked the tail from top to bottom, its softness was no less than the softness of the ears I was still touching.
“Meow,” said the half-cat girl, she glanced at me slowly with a flushed face.
“Sorry, I didn't mean to just now. Please don't be angry,” I said, hurriedly removing both my hands from her ears and tail.
“W-Why did Young Master touch my ears and tail?” she asked in surprise. .
“Of course it's because I like it, shouldn't I?” I asked back.
“Why is that, Young Master? Didn't you hate me so much yesterday?” the half-cat girl suddenly stood up, then gave me a very serious look.
“HAH? Since when did I hate you? How could I possibly hate a woman as beautiful as you,” I said as it was, because I really didn't know the reason why Edward hated her, so I just tried to fix it.
After all, this half-cat girl is the kind of girl I like. It wouldn't hurt if I had a close relationship with her so that I could more easily find out information about this world.
However, the information I currently have is limited to Edward's diary. I really don't know about anything outside of that book, including this half-cat woman.
“T-Young Master, are you serious? You don't hate me?” the half-catgirl repeated in confirmation, her face turning even redder in embarrassment.
I stared intently at the half-cat lady's entire body, instantly realizing that her appearance was not far behind Mama Laura's.
'This is a good opportunity, I'll tease her like this, who knows if she'll fall for my charms,' I muttered to myself.
Without waiting any longer, I immediately brought the half-cat girl's chin close to my face, I looked into her eyes sharply as if I could pierce to the bottom of her soul.
“I never hated you at all, in fact I wanted you very much. Don't you feel my heart, that my feelings for you are unstoppable,” I said looking very serious, even though this was just a casual flirtation.
I just wanted to tease her, and had no other intentions for now. Because a girl is supposed to leave immediately if she feels embarrassed.
Unfortunately I was mistaken again, the half-cat girl had no intention of leaving at all, instead she kissed me directly without making any sound beforehand.
I was taken aback by this sudden kiss, I never thought that she would attack me so directly.
I gazed into her faint eyes, guessing that this half-cat woman might have been fascinated with me from the start.
'Don't tell me she likes the way I look now, that's why she was surprised as soon as she walked into this room,' I thought, and ended the kiss with the half-cat girl.
“Ehem! Why are you kissing me all of a sudden? You should have something to say before we kiss, right? Like you like ....”
“I really like Young Master. I don't know why my heart suddenly skipped a beat when I saw Young Master's hair, not to mention the way Young Master dresses which looks really nice. Also, you said you wanted me before, so I ventured to kiss you. I apologize if I was rude. Excuse me, Young Master,” the half-cat girl said as she left my room unceremoniously. She walked so fast that she disappeared from my line of sight in an instant.
