Chapter 123 Master Aqua
"Use more force on the shoulders so that the person being scrubbed feels a comfortable sensation of their muscles and bones being loosened while you're scrubbing them. Slow down the pressure on the sides, but don't be too gentle, otherwise... hahaha, people will laugh..."
Under the guidance of the bath goddess, Broly's bathing skills, which were originally just imitations, are rapidly improving.
"Ah, no need for this place, let me do it myself."
"Huh?"
"Didn't I rub that spot on you either?"
"Um."
"That's right. Not all places are suitable for rubbing. This triangle area is a forbidden zone for both men and women and should not be touched casually."
"oh!"
Broly understood; he had grasped another piece of common sense.
When Aqua came out after taking a bath, her gaze towards Broly changed. She no longer looked at him as an innocent child, but became serious, as if she were looking at a disciple who was about to graduate.
"Broly, regarding body scrubbing—no, I mean body surface cleansing techniques—I have nothing more to teach you. From now on, you'll have to figure it out yourself."
"Yes, Aqua."
Seeing her serious expression, Broly also became serious and nodded.
"Don't call me by my first name, please call me Master Aqua!"
"Yes, Master Aqua."
"very good!"
Aqua was very satisfied, patted Broly's head with a smile, and put it on...
. . . .
"Why is the clothing you gave me a bit torn?!"
"I can't help it, these are old clothes I didn't want anymore."
"Why didn't Broly's old clothes have any holes or patches?"
Aqua pointed at Broly's clothes and asked, somewhat angrily.
"That's because my brother's clothes were kept in better condition."
Marian said.
"Aren't there any old clothes that aren't torn?"
"Clothes that aren't torn aren't considered old clothes; they're clothes I still want!"
"Waaaah, Broly, she bullied me!"
Aqua felt wronged, and since Broly, her newly accepted bathhouse apprentice, was the only one she could confide in, she instinctively chose the easiest way to vent her frustrations and hugged Broly to cry.
"Don't cry, don't cry..."
Broly looked at Marian. If he were younger and more naive, he would have definitely threatened her, but now…
"Sister Marian, could you please get Master Aqua a new set of clothes that aren't torn?"
"Master Aqua?"
Marian was a little confused, but seeing the boy dressed in her younger brother's clothes, she couldn't refuse his request.
"Alright, for your sake, I'll go get her a new one."
With that, the red-haired woman went back to her room and found Aqua a set of clothes without patches.
"Thank you, Miss Marian. I will definitely cherish this outfit you gave me."
After changing her clothes, Aqua immediately beamed with joy and said this.
"Hey, don't talk like I'm giving you this outfit, you little brat who's hugging and acting all cute with a younger brother!"
Marian voiced her complaints.
"Okay, okay, you're such a cheapskate!"
Aqua's casual wave of her hand caused a # to appear on Marian's forehead.
This person is so annoying, it's making her fighter's spirit burn!
"Master Aqua, we should thank others for their help."
Broly pulled Aqua.
"Uh, I'm sorry, I got too cocky. I don't know why you're targeting me, but I still want to thank you."
Faced with the boy's clear gaze, Aqua realized she had gone a bit too far, but while bowing her head to apologize and say thank you, she still couldn't help but vent her dissatisfaction.
She's a goddess, always being targeted for no reason, but she also has a temper.
What a wonderful child!
Marian's anger subsided. Looking at Aqua's condition, she didn't seem like the type of wicked older sister. After thinking for a moment, she explained why she had been targeting her.
"Huh? Sister, no, no, no, we're not siblings at all!"
Upon hearing the reason for being targeted—that the other party thought she was being harsh on her younger brother—Aqua immediately stood up and began to argue.
"So what's your relationship?"
"Goddess and Reincarnated One".
There's no way Aqua could say such a blunt truth, and even if she did, no one would believe her. She was already considered a fraud by Eris's junior followers that afternoon, and Aqua didn't want to be considered a fraud again.
"Master and apprentice!"
Aqua's decisive answer prevented Broly, who wanted to reveal his identity as a transmigrator and that Aqua was the wife he wanted to pursue, from having the chance to intervene and answer the question.
Moreover, Aqua was right; she had just been taught a technique for scrubbing—or rather, for cleaning the surface of the body—in the bathroom.
This technique might sound useless, but when Broly was giving Aqua a bath just now, her happiness level skyrocketed.
Clearly, this is a good ability to increase your wife's happiness level, but it's unclear whether it applies to all wives or is only useful when using Aqua.
The situation is debatable. I'll have to wait until I meet other wives in the future and try giving them a bath to see if I can improve their happiness level.
"Master and apprentice?"
Marian was somewhat skeptical, while Broly nodded to her: "Aqua is indeed my master."
Although he was just accepted as an apprentice.
"See? I didn't lie to you!"
With Broly's support, Aqua became even more confident.
"And what about his parents?"
Marian asked again.
"this……"
Aqua didn't know how to answer. She had only met Broly today and hadn't received any information from him yet.
"My mother is dead. I heard she died while giving birth to me, and my father is in another world."
Broly didn't hide his situation; he had almost no memory of his birth mother, and his father was indeed in another world.
"this……"
As Broly calmly revealed the cruel truth of his parents' death, both Aqua and Marian became teary-eyed.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
After a moment, Marian apologized to Aqua.
"It's nothing. I'm just temporarily taking care of him. It's just that he's taking care of me instead. I should be the one feeling embarrassed."
Aqua blushed slightly, feeling ashamed that she was being seen as a vicious older sister by the other members of the guild. She was clearly the reliable goddess, so why did she appear that way in the eyes of outsiders?
It certainly can't be her fault, but it can't be anyone else's fault either. So, the only thing to blame is the world. It's the world's fault that created this misunderstanding.
From now on, she must be vigilant to prevent such misunderstandings from happening again. She is the goddess in this world who takes care of the boy who chose her!
As Aqua was thinking this, Marian asked, "So, tonight, will you be sleeping in the same room and bed again?"
"I'm not sleeping."
"sleep."
The first part is Broly's answer, and the second part is Aqua's.
The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously changed their tune.
"sleep."
"I'm not sleeping."
Marian: "..."
Are they going to sleep together or not?
"Uh, I have a bad sleeping posture."
Broly said he wanted to have the bed all to himself.
"Yeah, me too."
Aqua echoed this sentiment.
"Alright, then I'll prepare another room for you."
"Um, is that okay?"
My parents died early, and my brother and I depended on each other for survival.
So, even after they've all passed away, I still have quite a few empty rooms in my house.
"Well……"
Even Aqua didn't know what to say at this moment.
After thinking about it, she decided to adopt the demeanor of a goddess.
"Please don't be sad. The dead would surely want those who are still alive to live well."
"Huh?"
Marian turned around in surprise, looked at Aqua, and subconsciously said, "I didn't expect you could say something pleasing to the ear."
Aqua: "???"
After realizing what the other person meant, her expression quickly turned into that of a wronged, puffed-up sullen person who couldn't be coaxed.
"I'm sorry, I misspoke. I apologize and please forgive me."
Aqua looked like she would never forgive him, but Broly, seeing the rising happiness level on her in the Crystal Palace, figured that his master's wife was probably a hypocrite.
Sure enough, when Aqua woke up the next day, she had completely forgotten about it.
I don't know if it was because Marian prepared a lavish breakfast as an apology, or because she was simply a goddess who didn't hold grudges.
