Chapitre 396: Oblivious

Leonel willed himself to calm down and he entered his own room, leaving Aina to herself. 

Now that he thought about it, he really had left her alone for quite a while. It made sense that she would find something to do. Who knew when the last time she had a time to relax was? 

Leonel couldn't help but smile. 

Back in the Joan Zone, Aina never needed to bathe due to her military-type uniform. Its self-cleaning function made sure she wouldn't need to worry about it. So, this was the first time Leonel had experienced this sort of feeling. 

What started as him forcefully suppressing the lewd thoughts of a young man became him appreciating the sound of the moving water in a silent but sweet peace. It had become less about the fact Aina was washing herself and more about that she trusted him enough to do so. 

Maybe he was just overthinking it. There was always a chance that he was. But, the thought still brought him peace of mind.
