Bab 15: I'm lonely too
One week has passed. Her period has ended and Keira returned back to her regular training.
Inside the room of the tree house deep in the mystic forest, a massively tall male and a tall-for-earth female stood against each other.
The female clenched her fists in preparation for a punch, despite the fact that she was at the same height as his stomach. It doesn't matter how to slice it, this whole scene was pretty hilarious.
From the beginning, Master knew that it would be difficult to teach her to have the strength to strike enemies in close combat, but..well, just enough to be able to sidestep and find a gap to flee would be fine. The advantages of being small were agility and nimbleness. This is the most important thing that he has drilled into her head and taught her how to use effectively.

At night, Master boiled water for her to bathe, it was as usual as he did every day.
He looked at Keira questioningly, who was busy conjuring toiletries 'Why does this female's bathing need so many steps?'
She smiled happily while walking with joy towards the bathroom hugging many small wooden bottles in her arms. These bottles were filled with liquids and cream which she poured out from the conjured toiletries to make it easier for her to use, helping her save time and no need to keep conjuring them one by one.
Master didn't like the idea of conjuring items because it had side effects. Each conjuring drained energy from her body, and the larger the object, the more life-threatening it was for her body.

After the long soak in the tub, her entire body felt relaxed and smooth. She put on the slinky camisole dress and dried her hair with an animal hide towel. When her hair was dry, she went up to the bedroom and lay down beside her master.
He turned to look at the female and gritted his teeth, suppressing his emotions, 'This is the greatest torture ever...' The sugary scent on her body coupled with her exceptional attractiveness made it hard for him to contain himself every single day. He wondered if she was actually clueless or tempting him.

That night, Keira instinctively embraced the Master in search of warmth. She cuddled him tightly, burying her face in his chest, drawing in a deep breath of the soothing pine scent on his body.
Master swallowed down his saliva, the softness of her body that was entwined with him made him awaken from the fitful sleep.
He held Keira's chin up, and saw that her beautiful eyes were still closing peacefully. 'She's asleep again' he murmured, obviously disappointed.
Every night he had to go through this, but he tried desperately to keep his emotions in check. Although he had never shown interest in a female before, he found himself increasingly unable to avoid being close to her. As much as he tried to resist, he was drawn to her more and more each day.
Leaning down, he pressed a brief kiss on hers, whispered, "This is the price you need to pay for this torture" before pulling her into his embrace and continuing to sleep.

Several days later, inside the room, a female with long, black hair tied in a ponytail was standing against a wooden puppet. The reflecting amethyst eyes fixed on it with a firm look and let out a small gasp as she wielded a set of dual daggers with both her hands.
The daggers glinted in the dim crystal light as she advanced toward her target, her movements precise and calculated. With a swift motion, she plunged the blades into the center.
Though Keira didn't want to practice at first, but boredom and the stuffy winter prevented her from going out. That was the reason she kept practicing just to let the time run faster.

"Why do you look so drowsy today?" questioned the Master, his gaze was fixed on the female who was seated cross-legged on the bench and her eyes were wandering. Today, Keira didn't look bright at all.
"I'm bored. It's always snowing outside. I wonder what the people here are doing at this time."
With a hidden mischievously smile, he seated on the bench next to her, "This is breeding season when males stop going out to hunt once they have enough food stored, so... they're staying at home to mate." He leaned closer. "Are you interested?"
Keira winched, and raised her voice "Why should I be interested.." she whirled her face away as his sly grin was too attractive to look at. Her heart fluttered and she has to repeatedly inhale and exhaled to calm herself down 'whether how good-looking he is; he's still a pain in the neck!'
Seeing her reaction made his heart fill with joy, he kept his mischievous grin going and drew his face closer. "Why don't you take a good look at it? I'm always here in case you change your mind."
Staring at him in disbelief "You're the master. How could you say this to a disciple?" she exclaimed, even though she knew he didn't treat her as his disciple at all.
"Master has life, feelings, and needs a mate too... I'm lonely too," he inched closer, wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his face on her shoulder.
She flinched as his warm breath ran down the nape of her neck. Feeling stunned by this hug because he had never hugged her at time like this, when Usually, he would only pull her into his embrace during bedtime. Though she knew what Master was thinking, But she couldn't accept him because of her world-transmigration-situation.
"... You shameless master," she gently ran her fingers on his soft golden hair. They have been together for months, and he was very nice to her. If one day she had to go back to her world, she would miss him quite a lot.
Master could sense her worries, knowing what Keira was going through, slowly closing his eyes as his heart sank down into sadness that he could only endure.
