21 Reunited of Shinichi and Shinji

Chapter 21: Reunited of Shinichi and Shinji

Since I didn't want to get in the way of the store, I and Yui didn't stay there.

We left after I checked the augmented cabinets and refills the milk once I was done with my paperwork.

The inn that I and Yui are staying in was the inn that the guards had recommended to me when I first came here, Home of the Fire.

The Inn was an okay inn with good services. It cost 40 suits⊮ per night with dinner and lunches included, but without the dinner and lunch, it cost only 30 suits⊮. That's really cheap.

What? Just one full meal-set from my food stall was higher than that! The vegetable stalls are cheaper when it comes to buying large quantities, at around 200 Suit⊮for a meal but that only applies to the vegetables. Now a day, Alicia doesn't watch over the vegetable stall anymore. It is her younger cousin/brother, Briza, and one of the newer orphans, Cellin, who looks after the vegetable stall now.

So, we rented the room for one whole month. Without lunch and dinner included, since I am cooking for myself and Yui.

I was going to rent two rooms for us but Yui gets to it before me and rented only one large room, with only one bed.

... I really don't care anymore.

That night, I took advantage of Yui's desire and drank him dry. It wasn't enough. Even when we have to change the sheets three times over the course of our 'action'. By the time that I was satisfied, it was already near the morning and Yui have all sorts of wounds on his neck, arms, and back from it.

It's a good thing that Yui has a very strong body and stamina. So, even after I tortured him for more than five hours straight without letting him come, he could still go on.

Yep, I'm a very satisfied man. Of course, I wasn't the only that was satisfied after that.

The next morning, I woke up from a light sleep within Yui's arm. My head was on his chest, with my arms around his waist. His arms were around my waist, tightly holding on to me. Our legs were over one another, making it hard to see which ends began where.

I blinked at the sleepy face in front of my face.

Yui's eyelashes were pretty long, but not as long as mine. His face was really symmetric in shapes, along with those sharp features of his looks, it makes him look weirdly otherworldly.

Wait... He's not even from this world!

Well, neither am I.

I stretched my arms out as I removed myself away from Yui's body, leaving him to sleep for a couple more minutes, or seconds, in this case.

My body was really sticky with our aftermath, so I took out a large bathtub from my Inventory, not from my SDH(Space Dimension Homestead) but my Inventory, and place it in the middle of the room. I also took out four big dividers to divide the room for a private bathing area.

"Oh water of Earth, Spring of Eternal Water, and Heath of Fire may your breathe bath me clean," I chanted as I place my hand over the bathtub, which was large enough for four people, and pour a very small amount of mana into the spell - about 3 points of mana's worth. I didn't have to chant the spells since I had already mastered Chantless Magic long ago but doing so would make the water that I cast out have a longer duration, so I didn't hesitate to chant. And as long as I don't put in too much mana into the spell, nothing bad would happen.

The bathtub itself was made out of earthen clay and stone so it is very good for bathing. Once the water fills the bathtub with enough water, I checked the water temperature and nodded. Good, my control of this spell was still 100% proficient and efficient.

The spell that I had chanted was one of the many Lifestyle Spells that I had created, using Earth, Fire, and Water as the base elements before combining them into one spell.

Normally, lifestyle spells for water will only summon water. The temperature itself was very cold and it doesn't taste good when you drink it. However, for this spell that I had chanted, the water was like high-grade onsen waters mixed with a high-level healing potion and rare-grades medicinal herbs. Unlike the water from the normal lifestyle spells, which are normally clear and slightly blue, the water from this spell was slightly creamy with greenish-blue tints to it. Even the mist from the water steam was bluish with a hint of something azure in the air.

I stepped into the bath completely naked. The temperature was hot enough to cook a human body into cooked meat within a split second but for me, this was just right. *Sigh* That feels so nice.

I make a magic circle in the air using my finger. A magic circle appeared and started to suck in the steam from the water. This was a Symbology circle for controlling mist, steam, and air circulation within a room. A ventilation spell, you can say.

Ah, so relaxing. I closed my eyes as I took out a soft cloth from my Inventory, along with shampoo and hair conditioner. A hand went through my hair softly. No, this wasn't my hand. Its Yui's hand.

"You're awake?" I asked the man behind me. He wakes up so silence that I didn't even notice it. I turned my head to see a naked Yui behind me.

"Hm," He answered with a soft and content smile on his face as he also joined me in the tub.

"Hiss... Shin-chan, why is the water so hot?" He asked with a small hissed on his lips.

"It's not that high," I replied. Tian Yuanle was just more sensitive towards heat as his heat resistance wasn't as high as mine. I don't know why he didn't get all of his resistance up but that's his problem, not mine.

We quiet down as we washed. Nothing happened in the tub aside from washing each other.

I took out some of my clothes and towels for myself. I like to dry myself like a normal person who doesn't have magic but Yui just used magic to dried himself off without a care. Or in his case, he just used qi to dried off himself, completely.

I cleaned up the bathing area and put away the bathtub.

"Clean Up," I also used magic to clean up the room, too. It would be a bad manner to leave our mess for the workers to cleans. Especially our... night mess. And so, I cleaned up everything myself.

"Hmm? The magic... ah, they are finally sending him here," I said as I put my clothes on. Yui perks up at my murmurs.

In the next second, both I and Yui vanished from our room and appeared within an odd-looking alter. The alter looks look ultimately simple and elegant with fine carving of small fairies and flowers around it but it surroundings was completely covered in snow with no sight of anything else within miles.

In the middle of the altar was a human male with brown hair and a soft feather appearance. He was lying on top of the snow with his eyes closed but even then, the aura of him seems very solemn and melancholy.

I blend down to see his face. Ah, yep. This caucasian appearance wasn't his original face, alright. Although, it does have some familiarity with Shinji-niisan's original face. This face was like Shinji-niisan mixed with a caucasian appearance.

Imagine Eiji Wentz, only softer face that's smaller and rounder V-shape bone-structure, a taller body with a leaner body, longer hair than considered normal for Japanese male, and yeah, nii-san, you're a pretty boy now.

Poke~ Poke~

"Nii-san, open your eyes already," I said as I poke his face. I know that he's awaked already. He was just pretending that this was a dream so he didn't want to opened his eyes to see a new world. His eyelashes twitch as I continue to poke his face. I can totally read his mind right now if I want to but naahhh, don't need it.

A pair of brown eyes fluttered as it opened.

"Yo," I greeted, slightly a bit too excited. Yui looked at me with a slightly amused expression on his face but he didn't make a sound.

"..." Shinji-niisan's eyes were wide open with both shock and surprise before relief came in.

"Shinichi, you're alive... really." He seems relieved that I am alive. Well, of course, he will be. A small smile graced his lips even though his eyes were tired.

His eyes were the eyes of someone who had seen all that life has to offer. Solemn and melancholy. Tired and sad. But slightly hopeful and happy that one of his family members was alive.

"Yousuke-niisan is alive, you know?" I said as I put one of my hands into my chin to support it while I use my other hand to poke Shinji-niisan's face. I was squatting down beside him to poke him.

He twitched as his eyes betrayed him by widen in relief and stressed.

"Tched, and you still know how to punch where it hurts the most," He said with a sad and broken but relieved smile on his face. He sat up and pull me into his arms.

"It has been a while, Shin-chan. I'm glad that you are well," He said as he tightly hugged me. The relief in his voice was heard loud and clear.

"De, what happens?" Then, he suddenly asked with an alert look in his eyes. Not even waiting for me to stabilize myself from his hugging, Shinji-niisan asked with a voice that I recognized from how often I used to hear it.

Ahh, his protectiveness triggered on, again. Ahhh geez...

"Well, before that, let's go to the Town before we talk. First thing first, though, pour your ki into these gemstones," I said as I handed him the Neutral Mana Stones that I had Bel-chan downloaded information into, to him.

The Neutral Mana Stone were all white in colors so Shinji didn't know what it was.

He had to appraisal it himself.

Still, he trusted me so he didn't do anything and just pour his mana, or ki in his case, into the mana stones. The stones shone brightly before it vanished as if it wasn't there in the beginning. Pouring ki/qi into something wasn't a new thing for us, siblings. We did train our bodies in martial arts before, so we know what we are doing.

Shinji-niisan's eyes were widened so wide before he clinched his head as information after information started to pour into his brain.

Ah, that must have hurt. I used appraisal on him and it seems like he got all the skills successfully. After a couple of minutes of painful enduring, Shinji-niisan started to come back to his senses.

"Congrats, Niisan," I said as I give a soft smile toward him.

"Thanks..." Niisan replied after he calms down. He eyes landed on the person behind me. Hum? Oh, him.

"Nii-san, let me introduce you. This is Prince Yui Lexial Bahamut. And Yui, this is my oldest brother from Earth," I introduce them. Nii-San looks surprised that I didn't hide the fact that I was from another world to Yui.

"Ah, and Niisan, this man is not human, so you don't need to hide the fact that you're from another world from him. You can't hide it anyway," I said as my expression turned cold, slightly at the end. You have no clue how much effort I went through trying to hide this fact from this man. In the end, it was no use and a waste of effort.

Yui just smirked cheekily. "I'm Tian Yuanle, Shinichi's 'Boyfriend'. In this world, I am called Yu Lexial Bahamut. Nice to meet you," Yui said with a soft smile on his face, causing Niisan to freeze. Well, aside from me, anyone else would freeze too.

Still, since when did I agreed to go out with this man? I don't ever remember agreeing to go out with him! Much less take him in as a boyfriend!

"Not a boyfriend, just a stalker," I replied back, completely ignoring the fact that Yui's eyes were full of amusement and yet, a hint of gloominess was inside. I didn't bother to say anything else as I step on his feet. His hands went automatically around my waist while placing his head on my shoulder as he groans in pain for a couple of seconds before I elbowed his stomach. Separating us again.

Yui pouts softly at me as he behaves himself. The image was so ethereal that it causes my nii-san to froze agaib for more than a couple of seconds. Why? Why indeed...

According to everyone else that I had met, Yui's looks were so perfect that it made any other man look ugly in comparison.

Shinji-niisan's looks right now don't look any lesser in comparison to Prince Yui but, yeah, the innate quality was different.

Even though Yui was smiling, the innate coldness, charisma, maturity, and oppressive aura of a natural power-born Prince who was more than just a mortal Prince still come out. So, it caused Shinji to be slightly oppressed.

I elbowed him, again, for that action.

"Humph- Shin-chan~" He whined with teary eyes. What are you? A dog? I am not a dog lover so no matter how much you plead, it makes no difference.

I just rolled my eyes at him and expressionlessly looked at him.

When I turned back to Shinji-niisan, he had a very surprised look on his face.

"What?" I asked.

He blinks, "Well, this just surprised me a bit. And I kind of feel sorry for Miharu," He added.

Miharu? Ahh, that Miharu. My childhood friends who're also my cousin.

But why was Shinji-nii feeling sorry for him?

"Nii-san, Miharu doesn't like me that way, okay? He's in love with Souichirou, not me," I said to my brother with a complete facepalm expression on my face.

Shinji-niisan was a little dense but he has a very good perception when it comes to feeling. So, he probably notices something from Miharu that I might have missed. However, unlike Shinji-niisan who doesn't have a good intuition like me, I doubt that finding of his concerning Miharu.

"Eh?"

"Nii-san... Miharu likes Souichirou ever since they're in elementary school, you know?" I added this time with a tilt of my head as I looked at my older brother.

"Eh? But... Didn't Miharu stole a kiss from you when you were asleep that one time?" Shinji asked with a bewildered face.

"..." Oi, nii-san... Too late.

"Oh? Who is this Miharu?" A certain prince with a smile that's far too bright asked.

"A childhood and cousin. And no, nii-san, Miharu wasn't kissing me. He was drawing on my face," I replied with a tick on my forehead; still remembering that I nearly smack him for that action. At that time, it was right after I and Miharu's party went through a Tournament online, a PvP Tournament, as one of the top 10 Guild within the largest and most populated VRMMO games, Second Reincarnated: The Goddess of Death, and won the Tournament. I was so tired from staying up for 3 days straight so I fell asleep right afterward. And since I was asleep, I forgot to give Miharu the drops from the Tournament. Which was why he drew on my face.

Miharu was the kind of person that hold grudges like sticky glue. And because I was asleep for 27 hours straight, he can't open the new sector of our guild so he was really mad. Which was why he was drawn on my face as revenge.

... And Yui, stop that already. You frightening my brother!

"... Oh," Oi, niisan, why are you sounding like you're disappointed?

"So, that's why Miharu said that when we couldn't find you,"

"Say what?" I'm curious. What was he thinking of?

"Miharu said, and I quote, "Well, this is Shinichi that we're talking about. For all we know, he might have been transported into another world and with his luck, had already messed up that world's natural order with his presence already. We don't need to worry about him. We should be worrying about the other party, instead!" or so he said," Shinji said as he stood up from the floor and cleaned off the non-existence dust on his shoulder.

"..." Dang, Miharu was right. I looked away.

"... Wait a second, really? Really? Shinichi?!"

Ah, my nii-san's bad habits are coming back.

"... I didn't..." Oi, Yui, stop looking at me like that!

"... Shinichi, that was a lie, wasn't it?"

"Shut it, nii-san. I can't do anything about it! I didn't even step into the human society for 20 years when I was in that world!" That's right, I remember that I clearly stay away from human society and avoiding humans for 20 years while I was learning to live in that world!

It can't be helped that I had to interact with humans once the 20 years are up. Even with the protection from System 77777(5 of 7s), which was the system that was assigned to me by the Administrators from the Chaos Space, it could only last for 20 years since System 77777 only had enough energy to shield me from the outside for that long.

And yet, afterward, I spend my time carefreely away from humans for another 3 years, researching my magic and summoning magic.

Still, things didn't go as I thought. I saved a former prince when he stumbled into my forest. As a result, this and that happened and I left the forest with him. Of course, I end up dating him for 7 years and was planning on marrying him, but well... that damn world couldn't handle my luck anymore and kicked me out.

... What? I just summarized everything up, okay?!

Why was that? Because I don't want to realize that I have been living in that world through the eyes of an outsider. So, I didn't interact with humans until I was fully sure that I understood and accepted the fact that I am one of the residents of that world too.

Which was why I decided to leave the forest with that man. I just didn't count on having him fallen for me afterward, that's all.
