Chapter 169 - - Maids Bath And Confusion
Talon quickly retreated when he realized that the women were about to get him undressed. He never expected such a sudden development and he didn't even know how to react to it.
"Hm? How are we supposed to clean you, Young Master?" One of the maids asked confusedly while the others looked at each other as if they didn't understand what was going on.
"You don't have to clean me up. I can do it myself." He replied.
Then, the entire bathroom turned completely silent to the point where a needle could be heard dropping on the ground. The sudden shift in the atmosphere shocked the young man.
"Excuse us, Young Master… Are you ok?" Another maid asked with a frown. "Should we measure your temperature? Are you feeling any discomfort at the moment? Perhaps you're still feeling under the weather?" Approaching him, she pressed her chest against his as she touched his forehead.
"Huh? No, I'm totally fine. I'm just saying that I can do it myself."
"Oh…"
Shocked sounds left the maids' mouths as they stared at Talon as if he were some kind of alien.
'Why are they shocked by this? Is it uncommon for someone to take a shower on their own here?' Talon raised an eyebrow.
"Mmm, Young Master. You've never asked us not to help you shower. What happened all of a sudden?"
'... What the fuck? Is this ok? What kind of dude did I possess?'
"It's our job to serve you, Young Master. Please let us help you shower."
'This is insanity… But, if I don't act normal, they would seriously start suspecting me.'
At that moment, Talon found himself in a dilemma. On the one hand, he didn't feel comfortable being washed by 15 beautiful maids. But, on the other hand, the body they're washing is technically not his even if he was in it at that moment.
He also wanted to know more about the world he was in. Perhaps if he could make these maids tell him more about it while… They washed him.
"Sigh, ok, you can wash me. But, I'm keeping my underwear on."
"Oh… Perhaps, is Young Master feeling shy?" One of the maids asked as she put her hand on her mouth.
"Oh my, the Young Master is feeling embarrassed? How cute!"
"I never expected to see such a side of the Young Master! We need to capture this moment!"
"I agree!"
"Don't worry, Young Master. You're really gorgeous, washing you is an honor to us!"
Excited cheers echoed amongst the women as they stared at Talon with shiny eyes.
'These maids… Sigh, I'm starting to regret this.'
With that, the maids then started undressing Talon. Their hands ran through his body as they gently and carefully got rid of his clothes. The feeling of this many women touching him was completely new to Talon.
'Oh man, I'm glad Acrypha couldn't see this or she would've killed me…' Crying in his head as he imagined her cold eyes staring at him condescendingly.
When he was completely undressed except for his underwear, the women stopped as they stared at his body. Even though Talon couldn't see his body completely, he could very much notice how surprisingly muscular that body was.
It was the most perfect body he had ever seen in his life. It was as if it was carved out of marble by the gods themselves.
Even the maids, who have been showering him for a long time could only admire that beautiful sight for a good few seconds.
Some of them didn't even notice that they started drooling before they quickly wiped their mouths.
"Ehem, so, uh… Can we get this over with?" Talon coughed, snapping them out of their daze.
"Yes! Of course, please get in the bathtub, Young Master."
Opening a path for him, Talon saw a gigantic bath on the other side of the room that was already filled with warm water. It had a soft chair inside of it for him to sit down and a table next to it filled with snacks and beverages.
'This is just too far… I doubt even the royalties back on Earth would get such a treatment.'
Walking inside the bath, Talon was made to sit down as the maids surrounded him quickly. They luckily didn't get undressed as he did or he knew he would've been in a terrible situation. But, that didn't mean that seeing them in wet clothes didn't make him react.
After all, Talon was still a healthy young man and he was surrounded by attractive women who were touching his body.
"We shall start, Young Master."
One of the maids spoke as she slowly started moving her hands around in an elegant manner. Talon watched curiously as suddenly, the water around him started moving. Then, it slowly started rising in the air like a snake before it slowly approached the young man and fell on him gently.
'Oh, a skill?' Talon pursed his lips impressed as he enjoyed the pleasant warmth of the water. 'Though, I don't know if that's actually a skill or not since I can't feel Aetheris with this body.'
Then, another maid did the same thing as she shaped an invisible sphere with her hand. That created a ball of shampoo before she put it on Talon's head.
"What are these abilities?" Talon asked as he closed his eyes.
"What do you mean? These are our spells. We learned them especially to serve you, Young Master." The maid replied.

'Huh? Spell? Not a skill?' Talon frowned when he heard what she said.
"Oh, spells?"
"Yes, we wished we could've taught you how to use them but…" All of a sudden, the mood inside the room changed.
"Oh… I can't learn them, right…" He replied in a fake sad tone.
The maids immediately started panicking.
"Please don't feel down, Young Master. Learning magic isn't necessary. You're the son of the greatest magician to ever live, you don't need to learn it. You're already born to be great." One of the maids said.
Meanwhile, Talon was capturing all the small details they were telling him and it was making him more and more confused.
'Magic, huh… What kind of world is this? Don't they know about skills and Aetheris? And I'm also the son of the strongest magician? This is confusing…'
Even though his intentions were to learn more about this world. Everything he was hearing so far made no sense at all.
As far as he knew, every single dimension was under the Core Dimension's rule. So, every creature used the same system. Magic should technically not exist and yet it was.
'I can't make up whether this is even real or not at this point.' As the maids continued washing him, Talon was still deep in thought as he contemplated their words.
His thoughts were so chaotic he didn't even care that he was being washed by a group of maids anymore. By the time they were done, Talon snapped back to reality.
"Let us dress you, Young Master."
"No, that is something I can do myself. No questions asked." He said in a calm tone as he stood up and walked out of the bath.
The maids stared at his back with complicated looks on their faces.
'Young Master is still devastated by everything that happened. Oh god, bless his poor soul.'
After that, Talon wore his clothes. They were rather simple shirts and a pair of pants but their high-quality fabric was really comfortable. Then, the maids opened the door for him as he walked out.
'Well, I don't know when I'm going to wake up from this dream. But, I will try to keep looking for more information. I have a feeling that this place has far more going for it than what meets the eye. I didn't come here by coincidence and I'm going to know why.' With a cold look on his face, he was led through the massive corridor.
His eyes wandered to the windows again as he took a better look outside. The sun was still shining through as if it was early in the morning. Other than that, he could only see the blue sky and the clouds.
'What an interesting place. It's all a mystery at this point.'
Even with how odd it was, Talon would be lying if he said that it wasn't a pleasant place to be in. It had such an ethereal atmosphere that he couldn't quite grasp yet.
'Perhaps it's the magical aura that's giving me this odd feeling.'
"Young Master, your father is waiting for you." The maids stepped forward as they opened two huge double doors before they lined up for him to walk inside.
"My father, huh? Yeah, sure."
'I guess I'm going to meet this man quicker than I expected. If he's the strongest then that means he's a gold mine of information. If I can get him to talk, I will definitely know more about this world.'
But, Talon knew that it wasn't going to be an easy meeting. Even if this wasn't real, he was going to meet perhaps a monstrous individual.
