章節 18: Soap (18)
After finishing the trade, Akira and Krista made their way back to the mountain.
Akira removed his blindfold as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, as he turned around to face Krista, both of the girl's eyes were already closed.
It seemed like she was getting used to it.
He sighed a bit before wrapping the blindfold around Krista's eyes.
She then hopped on his back and they made their way back toward the base.
It didnt take them long to get there.
Upon arriving, it didnt take a genius to figure out they were running out of soap, meaning he had to make some more.
He removed the girl's blindfold and asked her to go check on the trap to see if anything got caught in it.
She wanted to be useful and thus she was now in charge of checking the traps, gardening, and scavenging for fruits, she apparently had read a lot of books about the vegetation and could tell which fruits were poisonous and which fruits were not.
He on the other hand was focused on another project of his.
The first thing he did, was gather a variety of herbs from the woods nearby, stuff like Rosemary, Lavender, and mint.
He chose them as they would give the soap a good scent and that was all it was about really, smelling good.
He did not want to stink.
Outside the house, sitting in the middle of some shade, he gathered the necessary supplies he would need, a large bowl, a wooden spoon, a saucepan, and a mold.
However, every 5 minutes or so, he would turn his Byakugan and look toward where Krista was.
If any humanoid lifeform even got close to her he would rush to her rescue.
So far however she was safe, she was about 100 feet away from him, however, she was still in the range of his Byakugan, which was roughly 30 meters away. His Byakugan range was now resting at a good 100 meters, 300 if he focused all of its power toward one direction.
The only human life form that was anywhere near her was Eren's life energy down the mountain, since he had seen Eren's life energy once before, and since his energy was hiding something stronger he could pick up on it feintly.
Eren seemed to be around the area where he usually left food, which probably meant Armin and Mikaa were there, though Akira couldn't sense them as unlike Eren they were not a beacon of life force energy.
Plus due to Eren's life force slowly being drained into the air, he left some faint trace of it in the air which Akira could see, though he really had to look for it.
If someone else was like Eren, he probably wouldn't notice it, unless he looked for it.
Akira went back to what he was doing. First, he crushed the herbs into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle.
Then he used olive oil in the saucepan until it was warm but not hot.
As he noticed he was running out of olive oil, Krista could be seen carrying a bottle of olive oil.
"Here you go"
Her voice sounded quite confident which was always a good thing
"Thank you, You are a lifesaver Krista," He said with a bright smile on his face, even with his very good eyesight he was unable to see the blush on the blond girl's face.
He may not have realized it yet but....
As she added the oil, Akira began adding the powdered herbs into the warm oil before stirring it quite gently.
After a few minutes, he slowly poured a solution of Lye (a strong alkali) into the mixture as he kept stirring it.
This chemical reaction would help to saponify the oils, turning them into soap.
It would probably take a couple of days but the soap was done.
"What are you making?" The young girl asked curiously as she gazed at him
"It's soap, to clean your body," He said softly.
Her eyes seemed to understand what he was saying.
"So that's how it made"
He just nodded his head along with her words.
"Anyway, when the soap is done, hand me your dirty lingerie for me to clean them," He said nonchalantly.
...
...
..
Why was she so red?
He was just going to wash their clothes together, he did not see the fuss about it.
He was just going to wash their dirty lingerie and hers too...what was the big fuss about him, a boy washing a girl's lingerie...
oh.....Oh.....OH!
His eyes seemed to widen at the realization of what he had just said.
Dam, he was dense.
"Sure....."
She agreed...
He wonders how dense one man must be, and then he realizes people like him still exist.
