Period (3)

Fucking seriously quest board? You know what? I think I should be grateful, I've been forewarned. Yeah, I should hijack the system and make the quest board some kind of future-radar.

"I'm sorry Liliath.. about just now... um.. I'll ask my mom first and see what solution I can come up with."

Of course, by that, I mean: where my mom placed the sanitary pads.

Actually, would my mom's size even fit.. I doubt so.

And DaFuaq why am I even thinking about these things? It's not like I have a choice do I? It's a sensitive topic but I'm here actually dealing with it.. I'm sorry Liliath. Please endure a little longer.

I wished I had seen this coming beforehand. Taking this as a lesson, what else I should prepare for in the future? I also can't have Liliath not know how to use a phone can I now?

"Gimme a second," I tried to contact my mom via text.

"I-It's alright Noel, you don't need to go through all that trouble.. I-I just need a towel," Liliath put on a brave smile.

"There's something called a sanitary pad in this world and that's typically what girls use during these.. sort of times."

"I-I see.."

An awkward silence ensued.

My mom hasn't replied..

"Um.. Noel.."

Fuck. I honestly have no idea how periods work and all that.. is there a time limit of sorts? All I know is that once you see blood you should change into a sanitary pad right away..

This is.. awkward..... please return the message mom..

"I'm sorry Liliath.. just a little longer.."

Pick up your phone mom.. there's a serious issue going on.. like serious-serious.

Liliath lowered her head, "Sorry for troubling you.."

"No.. it's my fault for forgetting to prepare for this scenario," I tried to calm her down. MOM WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO PICK UP?!

Another minute passed. Liliath was still as a statue.

I didn't want to imagine what was going on down there..

Wait.. I should've just called my mom.

WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT EARLIER?!

I called her right away.

Doot. Doot.

...

Doot. Doot.

Please pick up..

Doot. Doot.

"Hello? Yes? What is it, Noel?"

"This is an emergency, mom.. what should I do in a situation where Liliath is.. is having her period."

"Oh my.. really now? Well.. let's see.. I forgot about that.."

"How about using Novelle's? Since they are around the same size."

Uh... it's sickening just to have this conversation.

I wanna cry..

I can understand the sentiments girls go through now— somewhat.

"That could work as a temporary solution. I'll get some for her on the way back home. Please have Liliath use that for now."

"Got it."

Action plan get.

"Good luck."

...

The phone call ended. I had no energy to waste on retorting how excited my mom was with the situation.

"Liliath, I'm sorry but please wait here a while."

"Y-you need to find the sanitary pad-thing r-right? I can still move, I can help."

"No, you just wait there."

I have conflicting feelings about this.. as a brother, I'll have to intrude my sister's room... worse, I'm searching for that item.

...

FUCK JUST DO IT DON'T BE A SISSY! 50 JUICY POINTS AWAITING SO GET A MOVE ON!

I headed up the stairs towards her room.

It's been a while since I've actually snuck a look at the place but it's fairly nice. It's got that female charm to it. Books here, books there— uh.. she's reading business books? Since when?

Wherever. There are other important matters to prioritize.

Shuffling through the drawers of the low cupboard, cabinets and shelves— I couldn't find it.. I COULDN'T FIND IT?!

Shit.. how much dedication does my sister have when it comes to hiding this— I'd really like to commend her on this but now I really wished she had placed it in a convenient, easy-to-find spot..

I found her stash of porn, but not the sanitary pads. Did she hide those in some maximum security location that outwits the likes of me? Like.. what the hell.

"N-Noel.. you were searching for this right?"

"..."

Ah. She's sharp. Her senses are superb. She didn't even need to take two steps into the room and already found what we were looking for..

The best place to hide the sanitary pads.. in fact, it wasn't even hidden..

I didn't know when Liliath came but she pointed her hands at the bag hanging on the hooks latched behind the door.

— I repeat, it was behind the door.

"Y-yes.. that's the one..".

I'm sorry little devil.. your brother will be borrowing this.. for Liliath.

"I remember Novelle taking one of these but I don't know how it works.."

Liliath, I understand you're trying your best to keep your cool, but you don't need to try to smile like that all the time.. it breaks my heart.

Ah. Wait. What Liliath said has a point. How do sanitary pads work?

"Um.." holding the packet in hand.. I tried to think of a way to solve this enigmatic puzzle.

There's no way I got to demonstrate it right?! I myself have no idea how it works?!

Shit. Calm down. Alright. Let's think things through logically. For one, I could decide to actually experiment with how the adhesive fits and stuff but I'm not sure if Liliath would understand.. no, she's smart so I think she would be able to figure it out.

Another option would be to help fit it on her.. that sounds super enticing but I doubt she would allow me to look at her.

The third would be to allow Liliath to put it on, having her go through trial and error, hopefully not messing up everything.

Alright. With this.. I think the first option is better. I might waste a sanitary pad or two trying to figure it out but it's worth it.

"I guess we'll have to go through trial and error..."

To start off our experiment with the sanitary pad acting as our lab rat, Liliath nodded with a serious face.

I ripped the packaging and opened the sanitary pad. It's somewhat of an 8-figure. Tabs here, tabs there.

Skipping the part where Liliath desperately tried her best to understand my crappy explanation on how to use it..

"I suppose I can do it?" Liliath looked at the finished 'product' that should be attached to her lower waist.

"Now go to the bathroom to do it.." I pushed her with my words.

"Thank you,"

"Just go already.."

And she left.

Now.. how should I deal with her panties.. ah fuck..

...

How is it that I never paid attention to how women deal with these things behind a man's back? Like seriously? Am I a frog?

Wait.. why didn't I use internet-sensei?
