"Long time no see, Eria-nee."
"Huh? Soap...?"
Mounting me on top of the bed, was none other than my very first companion, Soap. Her red pupils were peering on me in the darkness. Aside from her red long hair, it's pretty much the only thing that told me it was undoubtedly her.
"Yup! It's me, your beloved younger sister, Soap!" making a peace sign with her fingers, she excitedly announced.
"What are you doing here...?"
"Heh...? Is that really all you're going to say?"
"Mrmm..." I frowned my brows at her.
I've just woken up, so my mind is still yet to catch up. However, one thing I know for certain is that my dreams, or perhaps nightmares, were caused by none other than the showy girl on top of me.
"So, were you peeking in those visions you showed me?" I ignored her and asked.
"Hm? I wonder what you're talking about?" she tilted her head and rested a finger on her chin.
"Soap! Tell me you didn't!"
"Waaa!"
I already know it was her who caused my lewd visions, so the only thing I'm concerning about now is whether or not she was able to peek inside my head throughout it all.
"Waaa! W-Wait a minute, Eria-nee! You're being too rough!"
"You've really done it now, haven't you!?"
"Hyaa! Not there! That's my sensitive spot!"
"I won't stop until you explain yourself!"
I know Soap had always been a troublemaker, but this one prank of hers has truly gone way out the line.
"Zzz... Keke... They're so soft, master..." Log mumbled out of his breath.
"Don't tell me...?" I glared at Soap.
"No! I just casted a sleeping spell on him! I didn't do anything else!"
"Hmph... Let's continue this outside..."
"O-Okay..."
On my lead, we went on top of the roof of the inn. It's still midnight, so the glowing moon remains on illuminating the sky. I decided to sit, while Soap remained standing on my side.
"So? What was that spell you casted on me?"
"Hehe! It's just something I learned in the demon realm. It's a convenient spell for release. It's good to deal with stress."
"Did you peek inside my head?"
"Fufu! Don't worry, the dreams it manifested were not on me at all. They're the product of your own mind. That is to say, it's not something I can peek on."
That's a relief. Still, if she's telling the truth, I should be worried about what kind of things my mind can conceive. Am I really that horny?
"Do you feel better now?"
"What are you talking about? It's not like I was stressed or anything."
She's acting as if she did it for my sake, but there's no doubt she only did it for fun.
I properly look at Soap for the first time.
She's become even more beautiful than she already was when we parted. She's now showing off her body more, and she's also wearing a small portion of makeup. She even styled her hair after the style I had back then.
She might be mistaken for a famous supermodel if she went to my previous world.
"How are you doing?" I finally asked.
"Thanks to you, I've been doing well. Employment is easy to find, and I can pretty much deal with anything else with my brawn and smarts. Oh, and I'm called Sophia now, but because it's you, it's fine if you continue to call me Soap. In fact, I'd prefer it that way."
"Fufu. I'm happy for you, Soap."
"Thank you, Eria-nee."
Soap is like my own younger sister. She's family to me. So I'm really glad she's doing great.
"I bet you knew about me coming to this city from day one. Why only meet me now?" I teased.
"I had some stuff to deal with, so I took care of them first. I'm sorry."
"Heh? More important stuff than me? You've really grown up."
"T-That's not the case at all! They're just things I really can't ignore in the moment! Besides, I'm really shy to meet you after such a long time. Even now, my heart won't stop beating... I really love you, Eria-nee..."
"Fufu! I love you too... As my younger sister and apprentice..."
"Humph! How disappointing..."
Her pouting is still cute. I really missed teasing her.
"So, do you want to catch up?"
"Yes! Let me tag along with you for a while!"
