Chapter 10: Bath

Rhash tried to train in the same way that Reif does. One of the most basic things he wants to do is to cover his palm with mana

To his delight, he instantly succeeded. Reif is too immature for such a large amount of power while Rhash that is technically older than him was not

In just a few seconds, Rhash successfully covered his palm with mana. Without wasting any time, he immediately tried to use it

A figure clad in a gray robe jumped from one tree to another. A bluish palm can be seen cutting tree branches as if they were mere tofu

As a person that came from the earth, Rhash was really fascinated by things like magic. After all, the majority of people on earth surely want to use magic even at least once in their life, right?

Reif who noticed Rhash's actions turned gloomy. His Big Brother was able to have such precise mana control in his first try

As for him, he still can't control the streams of mana causing the trees surrounding him to be fully abused

"No.... this won't do... I can't be untalented" Reif thought in his mind. To make sure that his Big Brother won't leave him, Reif needs to be a genius. He also needs to become strong so that he can protect the most important person in his life

While thinking of that, Reif instantly controlled his mana again. Another bluish stream of energy appeared but this time, it was not as much as the previous ones

Reif's mana control is being refined slowly but he is at least showing some progress. But for him, that was far from enough

He needs to do the same thing that Rhash can do and even exceed it. Reif trained and trained with his mana control without stopping

However, due to him using so much mana every single try, it didn't take that long before all of his energy was exhausted

Reif's face paled as beads of sweat drenched his whole body. A slight piercing headache also appeared in his head. The usage of all of his mana gave him a mental fatigue

Reif's knees even weakened and he soon fell to the ground while gasping for air. His right palm was shaking as if it was used too much by him

It didn't take that long before Rhash saw his situation causing him to worry a bit

Woosh!

Rhash instantly jumped down from the tree branches to check on Reif. The kid's pale face pained his heart but they don't have any choice

If the world is still set on making Reif the biggest villain, they need power strong enough to destroy the world. If not, it would be them that will die in the future

"Sorry..." Rhash muttered in a low voice. Despite him just wanting to make Reif's future more secured, it was still an undeniable fact that he wants a little kid to work too hard

Most kids would play every day but here he is, forcing Reif to do magical training

However, Reif was confused at why Rhash is apologizing. For Reif, his Big Brother just wants the best for him

"Big huff B-bother, why a-are huff you a-apologizing?" Reif asked while still being out of breath and Rhash can only shake his head at that

Reif is still too young to understand things

The only thing that Rhash can do for now is to comfort his little gem. He crouched down and carried Reif's thin body in a princess carry style

"E-eh? B-Big Brother put me down! I-I can walk on my own!" Reif said shyly, unwilling to be a burden

"Just hug me that would be enough!" Rhash simply said. In the future, Reif would grow into a tall masculine man. When that time comes, it would be weird if Rhash still carry Reif in his arms

Not to mention, Reif might not like that. Since Reif is still a thin little kid, this is Rhash's only chance to do something like this

"H-hug?" Reif doesn't know why Rhash wants to be hugged but he doesn't mind. Reif loves the feeling of hugging Rhash too

As a result, Reif wrapped his frail arms into Rhash's neck. He also rested his head into the other man's shoulder while sniffing the sweet scent from it

The comfort of this intimate position was wonderful and Reif can't stop himself from rubbing his cheeks into Rhash's skin

The slightly cold temperature of Rhash's body cooled down Reif's own body temperature that rises from the training he just had

"Hold me tightly" Rhash said while chuckling a bit. He doesn't know if he just has a ticklish body or because it was Reif that is doing this but he kind of felt really ticklish

Reif obediently did as he was told and he hugged Rhash tighter before he felt the winds hitting his body

Rhash starts running in the forest at a fast speed to the point that the trees around are only blurred in Reif's eyes

Instead of feeling fear, Reif kind of enjoyed the feeling of Reif's body with his along with the strong winds

Reif even feels like it would be better if this is the kind of life he will have every day. The idea of ​​living in this calm forest also entered Reif's mind before he threw it at the back of his head

Back at home, there is still his father. For Reif, there would also be a day where his father would accept and take him back

When that time comes, he can live happily with Rhash and his father. That would be perfect

With Rhash's speed, it didn't take that long before the two arrived at a small lake inside the forest. There were already some small animals drinking on it making the place looks more peaceful

Rhash then puts down Reif at the edge of the lake. "Take off your clothes"

"H-huh?" Reif asked in a stupefied manner causing Rhash to narrow his eyes in confusion

"Let's bathe in the lake. It would feel nicer than just simply wiping our bodies with a towel"

As a man from the modern era, Rhash is used to taking baths every day. Too bad that since coming into this world, he didn't have the luxury to do that anymore

Fortunately, Rhash discovered this lake. As soon as he saw it, he immediately wants to take Reif here to clean themselves properly

"O-Oh..." Reif answered with a red face causing Rhash to tease him

"What? Are you shy?" Rhash asked with a giggle while poking Reif's cheeks

The little kid doesn't know what to answer to that and he can only lower his head causing Rhash to chuckle a bit

"What are you shy for? We're both men, it's fine!" With that, Rhash even starts stripping his clothes first revealing the smooth white skin underneath his dirty clothes

Two red orbs can be seen in his chest. Although Reif is still foreign to the concept of lust, he can't help but stare at those red beans

Rhash's skin was purer than the snow itself. With his body's healing capabilities, there was not even a bit of mark left on his body

It was so smooth that even babies would blush in shame. The contrast between his white skin and the red beans will turn lecherous men's mind insane

"Don't be shy! There's only two of us here!"

While Reif was still stupefied, Rhash already turned his body towards the lake and also removed his lower clothing

It revealed a flawless pair of legs that seems to be sculpted by the Gods themselves. Those are just minor things though as the more noticeable feature of Rhash's back was the pair of slightly plump buns

It looks so soft and tempting. Even Reif's immature mind have an urge to touch those buns

Too bad that such an exquisite body was soon covered and blurred by the waters in the lake as Rhash starts cleaning his body

However, Reif still stood on the edge of the lake with a blank look on his face causing Rhash to frown a bit

"What are you doing? Come here, I'll help you wash!"

Only when Reif heard Rhash's words did he returned back to reality. His face was redder than before while his heart feels as if it will burst out anytime from now

"B-Big Brother t-turn around!" Reif said with a red face and Rhash shook his head helplessly while thinking 'What a shy little kid'

"Alright, alright. Big Brother won't peak. Just come here" Rhash said before turning his back on Reif

Only then did Reif releases a breath of relief and removed his clothes at a fast speed and hid his body inside the lake

"Why are you even so shy?" Rhash asked as soon as Reif entered the lake causing the latter to flinch

"I-I'm not shy!" Reif insisted. Even Reif doesn't know why he felt so bashful when the two of them are just going to take a bath
