Chapter 181 - The Convent
Ren got a full 6 hours of sleep, and was up bright and early the next morning. Nathalia rolled off of him with some gentle prodding, and he kissed her cheek before he left the bedroom.
“Ah!” Ren said. “This is going to be a great day!”
“Are you always this loud?” Ereka said as she came out of the old bedroom. Her shoulder-length blonde hair was disheveled and stuck up in several places, and her slip was only slightly crooked. It was as thin as every other dress slip Ren had seen, and the tips of her breasts were quite prominent.
“Would you like something for breakfast?” Ren asked, and went into the kitchen. Ereka followed him, and Ren took out the big icebox. “You can have something that's already made, or I can whip something up.”
“Already made is fine.” Ereka said as she sat down and looked at Ren bleary-eyed.
“I guess you're not a morning person.” He said, and took some food out of the icebox.
Ereka smiled crookedly. “I am when I get enough uninterrupted sleep.”
Ren chuckled as he put a plate in front of her. “I can only apologize so many times.”
Ereka started eating without even looking at the food. “Hey! This is cold!”
“Icebox.” He smiled. “You can keep prepared food a lot longer than you normally can.”
“It must be nice.” Ereka said. “I have to buy more food every day.”
“Since you're staying here, why don't you use that one?” Ren pointed to the small one that he'd made first.
“That's one, too?” Ereka asked, and Ren nodded slightly. She went over to it and opened the door. The blast of cold hit her and she shivered, then smiled. “Thank you.”
Ren shrugged. “You're living here now. You might as well use it.” He took some food out for himself and sat down. “Did you want the food warmed up?”
“Could you?” Ereka said. “If it's not too much trouble.”
Ren took her plate to the oven and turned it on. He opened the door, held the plate near the flames, and used his Fire Manipulation ability to direct the heat through the plate and into the food. When he pulled the plate out a minute later, he received a popup.
