An Unknown Fate

Chapter 70: Lets take a bath together

King arthur...... Is that really just a dream?
　　
The moisture filled the air, and the sound of rain outside the window was still ringing.
　　
Rin Aozaki was soaked in the bathtub all over, his unfocused eyes "gaze" ahead, and he couldn't help but think back to everything he had experienced in his sleep.
　　
Artoria, Kai, Merlin, Morgan, Knights of the Round Table...
　　
If all this is just a dream, then why do you have such strange dreams?
　　
The boy's face was puzzled, and he blinked a little blankly.
　　
In fact, it is precisely because he cannot get rid of everything he experiences in his dreams for a while, that he will remain silent on the way from the magic workshop in the mountains to his home.
　　But before the boy could find the answer to his doubts, there was a sound of rubbing clothes outside the bathroom door.
　　
Aozaki Aoko bent slightly, holding the clothes basket with her hand, one foot slightly raised, slender white fingers hooked the edge of the black stockings with a little moisture, gently peeled off the stockings that retained a little stickiness, revealing fair and smooth well-proportioned calves, five delicate and small toes deftly swinged a few times in the air, like some discomfort between the fingers of the feeling of wetness, and then the white jade feet that seemed to be covered with a faint pink light under the light before stepping on the floor with a trace of coldness.

In the same way, the stockings on the other leg were quickly removed, and Aoko Aozaki, who was filled with a feeling of wetness because of the heavy rain, took off her clothes three times and divided by two, wrapped her body with a bath towel, hummed an unknown ditty, and as usual, opened the sliding door of the bathroom with a bang, looked at the boy in the bathtub who seemed to be a little distracted, and the girl chuckled.
　　
"Sorry, Rin, for keeping you waiting. Just now my parents called and said that they would not be back tonight, so let's solve the dinner matter ourselves. "
　　
The girl skillfully brought the sliding door, and was about to go to the shower to wash it first, the boy in the bathtub who was still in a daze couldn't help but be stunned after returning to his senses, and asked a little puzzled in the direction where the girl's voice came from.
　　
"Does Onee-chan want to join me too?"
　　
"Huh? What are you talking about, Rin? Weren't they all together before? That's also more water-saving. "
　　
Aoko Aozaki said of course, after all, after the relationship with Rin Aozaki improved, in order to fulfill her obligations as a sister and consider the inconvenience of each other's eyes, bathing together was something she was used to.

"But... Aren't boys and girls at this age no longer able to bathe together? "
　　
Rin Aozaki asked as if he was a little unsure, with a bit of hesitation on his small face.
　　
"What..."
　　
Unexpectedly, the boy would say the reason for the refute from this angle, the girl's body stiffened for a second, and then as if she couldn't believe it, she quickly asked.
　
"Who told you these words, Rin?"
　　
“...... She is the only nun of the church. Is there something wrong, sister? "
　　
Not understanding why the girl's reaction was so violent, Rin Aozaki was slightly startled and asked cautiously.
　　
But he remembered that he must not have mistaken the common sense that the nun had told him.
　　
"Yes, it's that person..."
　　
Remembering the nun in the Church in the town who always squinted and did not smile, Aoko Aozaki's face became a little complicated in an instant.
　　
Because of the same inconvenience in both eyes, coupled with the fear that the boy might be bullied if he was sent to a school with a special population, in order to allow Rin Aozaki to receive a normal education, her parents also asked the nun to teach the boy proper literacy methods and some basic common sense.
　　
Strictly speaking, the nun named Karen Hortensia is considered a boy's teacher.
　　
But because of his personality, although Aoko respected the nun, she was also a little unable to cope with the other party's occasional preaching.

And now that the boy had begun to receive the nun's normal physiological instruction about the difference between men and women, it was naturally impossible for Aoko to tell the other party that the statement just now was wrong.
　　
It's just that she always has a feeling in her heart that her lovely brother may start to grow up slowly and stay away from her, which makes a flash of regret on her face.
　　
“...... Well,Shuse is right, and it is generally true. But are you really okay alone, Rin? "
　　After a few awkward laughs, Aoko involuntarily ignored the fact that the boy had already fumbled independently to finish bathing before she entered the bathroom, asking as if he was still looking forward to it.
　　
"It's okay. I've gotten used to it for so many years, don't worry about me, sister. "
　　
Rin Aozaki shook his head lightly, unable to see the loss that swept through the girl's eyes.
　　
Aoko Aozaki helplessly lifted up the somewhat slippery bath towel, and for a while was immersed in the melancholy of "my brother may be growing up", sighed softly, and turned to leave the bathroom.
　　
“..... I know. But if you encounter any problems, just call me Oh, Rin. "
　　
"Hmm."
　　
Listening to the sound of the sliding door of the bathroom opening again and the footsteps of the girl stepping barefoot on the floor and chattering away, Rin Aozaki did not pay attention too Aoko emotion, but he did not continue to think about the dream.

After all, if this is always the case, it is easy to be seen as distracted and cause others to worry.
　　
He didn't want his family to start worrying about himself just because of his confusion, so he decided to bury this doubt in his heart for the time being.
　　
After soaking in the bathtub for nearly ten more minutes and letting the warm bath water wash away the fatigue, the boy got up and left the bathtub, groping for it, and according to the direction in his memory, he walked to the fixed position where he put the towel and clothes on hold.
　　
After drying his body and changing into a new outfit, Rin Aozaki put on the glasses specially made for him by Aozaki Touko, and the outline of some things slowly appeared in the originally dark vision, allowing him to walk out of the bathroom safely without bumping.
　　
"Onee-chan, you can already go in."
　　
It can only be judged by some vague white lines that the girl is sitting on the sofa with her legs bent, holding her knees with one hand, and the other hand seems to be pressing the remote control to switch the TV program, and the boy cannot see the depression that will appear on the girl's pretty face.
　　
And hearing the boy's voice, Aoko Aozaki put down the remote control in her hand, and after seeing that Aozaki Rin still had a little moisture on her hair, and there was no trace of collision on her body, she was relieved in her heart, but at the same time, she also seemed to respond with a sullen nod for not waiting for the boy's call in the bathroom.
　　
“...... Oh. "
　　
The girl got up and walked slowly to the bathroom, making Rin Aozaki wonder why the other party's emotions became lost.
　　
However, it seems that this is not the time to ask.
　　
Blinking in bewilderment, he listened to the sound of the TV program coming from the living room and the movement of the slanting wind and rain outside the window.
　　
The boy understands that he is indeed back to reality, and his life will be back on track.
