Chapter 31 - A Much Needed Rest

Inky just watched all leave, then made sure the garage doors were locked and went back to Erik's room and hugged him, falling asleep by his side like that.

Erik woke up hours later the next day feeling sore, his whole body was sore! he was healing quickly but still, it was just too much.

He looked beside him and saw Inky hugging him tightly and remembered her helping him, and couldn't help kissing her forehead, she was just too cute, he remembered something then thought and his face darkened.

"Rose..."

[yes? (＾ｕ＾) ]

"don't you owe me an explanation?"

[well, I let Inky in to take care of you, she took care of you-]

Erik interrupted her.

"you know that's not what I meant, why didn't you warn me she was at the bathroom?"

[well... it wasn't a risk to your life right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]

Erik gnashed his teeth and said.

"well, did you have fun?"

[well... ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯ did YOU have fun? ]

"well, the food was nice and all, I cooked it myself after all, but that elder octoperson was just gigantic, if I relaxed and she penetrated me I would have died so yes, there's was indeed a high risk to my life"

[oh..., but you pulled through didn't you? you did great! ლ(´ڡ`ლ) ]

"I hate you..."

[aww, you know you love me deep down (･ิω･ิ) ]

Erik just ignored Rose and kissed Inky's forehead that had just opened her eyes and smiled at her, caressing her face as she returned the smile and kissed him, then she checked his body and frowned.

Erik told her.

Erik: "wheelchair"

She nodded and went away, coming back sometime later with the wheelchair and helping him sit on it.

Erik:" thanks Inky"

She flapped her ears and took a pen and notebook from her backpack, writing.

'my pleasure' and smiling.

Erik sighed, and smiled too, she was too cute, it would have been horrible to expend his entire life on a strange alien planet alone.

Then he remembered something and told her to follow him to what he nodded, he had remembered he hadn't taught her how to give a massage, and he really needed a massage now.

He stopped by the kitchen and grabbed a container of used and filtered kelp oil, then went downstairs, Inky had to help him go down the stairs with the wheelchair, then he sat at the wheelchair again and got to the massage room and signaled for Inky to lay down on the massage table that had a hole for the head.

He oiled his hands and started massaging her back, following the folds of her spine all the way up with his thumbs, earning a moan from Inky, then massaged her shoulders and started going down doing circles, he even massaged her bubble butt, earning another moan from Inky and going up, then followed her arms lightly extending them and applying pressure, and then her tentacles, he continued like this for 10 minutes and noticed Inky had fallen asleep and left with a satisfied smile, now she should remember the feeling.

He then went and checked on the farm, the stream plants were growing nicely, and the duckweed had covered the pool, he then went to the onsen and laid inside the hot water relaxing, the heat helping his blood circulation and speeding up healing, he fell asleep with his head resting on the onsens border.

Time later he woke up as Inky laid on the onsen next to him looking really happy and kissed him deeply before hugging him and laying with him on the hot water.

Some hours later as he was hungry and feeling better, he walked with Inky's help to the kitchen and cooked some easy yakiniku with fried kelp.

After having his fill, came a task he had been delaying, grabbing a bucket and a shovel he went to the bathroom and started scooping it all into the bucket.

Inky went and came back with her own shovel and bucket, took them a couple of hours to clean it all, and threw the buckets to the worms composter and the sperm to the normal composter, the sugars should help in the decomposition but he saved some, this week he would need to empty it already too.

Then he emptied some worm composter into a screen and dropped the already digested dirt and watery fertilizer into the grass composter, he would need to empty it all soon into the pool downstairs and drain it to start growing plants there.

He put a movie for Inky in the living room and went for his next tasks.

In one of the empty storerooms, he set a bucket full of composting grass and covered it with the leftover semen, and mixed some of the mushroom spores to see if it worked in growing mushrooms.

As for his crops, they were growing nicely and should be ready for harvest by spring, while it was still the middle of summer.

After a day of rest, he felt much better, in fact, he felt his muscles and bones healing stronger than before.

Then he heard Rose say.

[you have a visitor on the door]

A screen appeared on the wall and he saw the Second Elder carrying a big fish under her arm and looking eager, his muscles and bones ached just seeing her.

"how long has she been there?"

[she's been there knocking on the garage door for 3 hours already]

"put a screen where she can see and show her my face and then this in my head" on the screen appeared his face and then he sleeping calmly, the Second Elder finally went away disappointed.
