Chapter 483
“Even a beast rolling in the barn would smell better than you. Go wash up first.”
Following Luna’s words, I entered the bathroom. I couldn’t disagree; it had been a long time since I had been able to wash, and I had been covered in monster blood several times.
Even without looking in the mirror, I knew I looked filthy.
There was a large tub in the bathroom, filled with water, and I could hear the sound of wood burning outside. It was a strange feeling to see people who could use such surreal powers living so primitively on purpose.
Ellen knew nothing about her village, which meant that the families of Sunday and Monday was an affair only known to the adults within the village. Considering that, it seemed less strange that they maintained such a lifestyle. Perhaps it was a secret that was only revealed only when the younger ones became adults or reached a certain age.
I was just soaking in the warm water when I was startled by a deep voice coming from beyond the wall.
“Is the water alright?”
It was the voice of Ellen’s father, Ronan.
“Oh, uh. Yes. Ah... Yes. Thank you. Uh...”
I felt the awkwardness of a boyfriend visiting his girlfriend’s house without her being there.
Why did I feel so awkward and out of place when they were treating me so well? Especially since I wasn’t even in that kind of relationship with Ellen anymore.
