" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Lydia''s screams rang out through the misty hot spring, I quickly reim my fallen towel and cover myself up.
" YOU''RE A BOY ?!", Nephyr screamed out looking traumatized.
.....
" OF COURSE, I''M A BOY !.... DIDN''T I SAY THAT MY NAME WAS ADAM ?"
" I THOUGHT THAT WAS SHORT FOR SOMETHING...."
...
What?
What did she think Adam was short for...Adamina?
" NEVER MIND ALL THAT....GET OUT !", Lydia kicked me out of the hot spring, I go back and enter the other entryway, probably used by the males.
Still a little dazed, I enter the hot spring yet again.
....
I think Lydia might be dumber than me, but in her defense, my appearance was more.....feminine due to my [Weak Body] but still, I didn''t think that its effects would be this...strong,
Are my skills getting stronger on their own or something?
I spent some time getting soaked, deep in thought.
But after some time, I decided to get out as I wanted to explore this ce a little more before calling it a day. Getting outside, I''m surprised to see Lydia waiting for me.
" Uh- did you wait for long ?", I ask avoiding her eyes.
" N-no, I didn''t wait that long....", She replied, avoiding my eyes.
The both of us silently stare at the ground for a weirdly long time before Lydia says,
" Well....let''s head to my home..."
Lydia slowly started leading me to her house since she''s the one that has to keep an eye on me, I suppose it can''t be helped...
As we were walking side by side along a rugged path, Lydia says,
" Hey....I''ve been thinking..."
" Yeah ?", I say walking beside her.
" I know it''s a little unconventional but I think it might work..."
" Hmmm....what will work ?"
" Our marriage, dummy !"
.....
" WHAT ?!"
Seeing my adverse reaction, Lydia has a quizzical look on her face,
" Don''t tell me you don''t know ?"
.....
" I guess you don''t, well it''s tradition for us to marry the first person that sees us naked."
" I d-didn''t know....", I say edging away from her.
Lydia has an ominous smile on her face as she moved closer to me,
" You''re going to take responsibility aren''t you ?"
I think about what exactly I should say to fix this absurd situation,
...
" I mean....it isn''t like there was much to see...", I say my eyes on her t chest.
" What ?"
...
" I''m sorry....", I say backing away even further.<novelnext></novelnext>
...
I avoid her eyes and stare intensely at the ground but I''m forced to look up at her as I hear herughing like a maniac,
" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.....look at your face !"
Oh...she must have been joking...
" Hahahaha...you got me good."
Lydia puts her hand on my shoulder and puts a little too much pressure on it,
" Hmmm...I feel like you said something troubling earlier.."
"Oh no...I would never, you must have been imagining it.", I say sweating a little.
" I''ll let you go just this once...hmph.", Lydia says letting go of me.
As we continue with our walk, we''re back to chatting normally....
It wasn''t that awkward anymore.

" This is my house !", Lydia proimed proudly.
We were in front of a shabby little building that looked like it would copse soon, I suppose she''s not exactly wealthy.
" Do you live alone ?", I ask as we entered the house.
" I live with my grandma...", Lydia says taking off her shoes before moving further into the house.
Well...I hope I don''t kill Lydia''s grandmother during my stay here.
I remove the shoes I had on as well, following Lydia''s example.
" Grandma, I''m home !"
''Streak''
An elderly wolf appeared supporting herself on a cane, her appearance was the same as Lydia''s except for the grey spots on her body.
" Oh my, they released you earlier than I th-"
The elder stopped speaking as her eyes fell on me.
" Oh my, I heard rumors about a human breaking in.....who would have guessed that they were true."
" I didn''t break in, ma''am....it was just a misunderstanding.", I say respectfully.
" Is that so ?"
The woman stared at Lydia and me expectantly,
" Oh right, this is Adam, and Adam this is my grandmother...Georna."
" Hmm, it''s quite a pleasure to meet you, young man.", Georna took my hand into hers and kept it there for a while.
I try to take my hand away but Gerona had a surprisingly strong grip, her eyes gopletely white and I felt strange.....
" What''s happening ?", I ask Lydia who didn''t seem that confused by her grandmother''s actions.
" She''s----"
Just as she was about to answer my question, Georna let go of my hand and her eyes return to normal.
''Huff''
She seemed to have overexerted herself...
" Oh my.....", Georna says catching her breath.
" What''s wrong grandma ?", Lydia asked looking worried.
...
Georna stared at Adam, a grim look enveloping her face as she says,
" This boy is dying."
