Chapter 124: A pig
Within a few minutes, Vritra arrived back at the temple. Since his entire body was covered in blood, he stepped out of the fourth dimension straight into his bathroom.
Vanessa was sitting on the bed and reading a book. She loved reading, and this new world had a whole new collection for her. When she heard the sound of water, she was surprised at first but soon relaxed upon sensing that it was Vritra.
"Honey, are you alright?" she called out, wondering how and why he went directly into the bathroom.
"Yes, I am fine, mom," Vritra replied as he removed the scent of blood from his body completely and threw the dirty clothes into his inventory.
Soon, he walked out of there completely refreshed. He stopped in front of his mother and just slumped down into her lap, hugging her waist tightly while his head rested over her thigh.
Vanessa caressed his head lovingly, as she set aside the book and asked again, "Are you really alright?"
"...Yes, I am fine, just a bit tired. Let me get a nap," Vritra replied. He closed his eyes and felt his body relax, feeling her warmth.
"Sure, don’t worry about a thing and rest," she whispered and continued to move her fingers through his long, smooth hair.
...
Vritra slept for a couple of hours. The nap really refreshed his mind; Vanessa’s presence was especially relaxing.
After waking up, Vanessa began to prepare lunch for the both of them, while Vritra sat alone at the dining table, deep in his own thoughts.
