Chapter 77 Going through the Realms pt 5

Reaching the Seventh Realm, the group went around and found a bunch of interesting things to do with once Rex reaches here.

"Time to head to the Eighth Realm." Kaede said.

The group spent the night at a very nice inn. It was owned by the Three Sects as a go-in-between for disciples.

Amber and Margaret stayed in a room by themselves with the parents beside them.

"This trip has been wonderful." Margaret started a conversation.

"Oh." Amber replied.

"Even though we have traveled through the Realms multiple times. I have wondered how traveling with Rex and his parents would be." Margaret started.

Looking at Amber, Margaret wanted to have one of the best conversations she had with her.

"Even though, Rex has something strange happening with him. I do hope he will enjoy traveling the Realms. I want all three of them to be happy." Margaret finished in a very serious tone.

Hearing how serious Margaret was, Amber closed her eyes and began to think how much fun she had. Realizing she too had a lot of fun, she was going to make everything right.

"We need to get Rex's father in the bath with us. So that we can fix the wrongs that have happened." Amber said.

Even though, she was a maiden as well. She would rather be seen by him than any other male. At least Rex would be allowed to see them due to Iris and Liz. This and that were different.

The following morning, Amber and Margaret got Kaede and went to the women's bath. The girls left a note for Rex's father.

"Join us." Was all that was written.

Rex's father's decision was to simply join outside the bath. He knew that Amber and Margaret left the note. He did not know why they did.

"Well, let's see what happens."

He took a basket and headed towards the bath.

Arriving there, he did not see anyone else. The building seemed suspiciously quiet.

"I hope it is just my imagination."

He entered the men's bath.

He quickly undressed and put a towel around him.

"Alright." He said entering the bath.

What he saw was Margaret, Amber, and Kaede all happily enjoying the bath.

"WHY ARE YOU THREE INSIDE THE MEN'S BATH?!" He was angry.

"Daiki, it is alright. The girls told me you were joining us." Kaede smiled.

Hearing from his wife that he was joining them. He found it absolutely beautiful and horrible. Did he want to bathe with his wife? Absolutely. With such a beautiful and loving wife any man would want to. He did not want to bathe with other women. He was loyal and always had been. Even when he accidentally entered the wrong bath, he had already told his wife.

She found it both funny and upsetting. Funny that he made the mistake of entering the women's bath. Upsetting because he nearly saw two other naked women. Even though nothing happened, she did not like it. Neither did he but seeing how she is now.

"Something is wrong." Daiki knew.

"I heard their story of what happened in the bath. Do not worry, they do not mind you seeing them because I am here. If it was any other male, their eyes would have been plucked out." Kaede told her husband.

Understanding that his wife was not joking. He slowly entered the bath. Making sure not to see the girls or letting the girls see him.

"This is too much on my poor heart." Daiki said.

Hearing her husband, she wrapped her arms around him.

"Hubby, I love you." She kissed him.

"I love you more honey." He kissed back.

Seeing the two acting normal, the girls felt a sense of relief that nothing bad happened.

"All is well, right?" Margaret asked.

"Of course." Kaede replied happily.

She was happy. She wanted to bathe with her husband for so long and never got an opportunity to. If it was work or vacation with Rex or simply too tired. Either one had their share of problems and she loved her husband who always made sure she had a better room or better cookware or better work environment.

Once everyone got out of the bath. Daiki stayed in the room while the women went in and dried off.

"The joys of being a good man."

Daiki slowly inched his way to the door. He kept asking when they would be done.

"In a minute." Each of the women replied.

"This is getting frustrating."

Daiki felt a need to rush in and see what was taking them so long.

Finally after nearly thirty minutes of waiting. Daiki entered only to see the naked bodies of his wife and the others.

"Surprised." Kaede asked.

Daiki felt that something was wrong here. His mind and body were saying two different things. His mind wanted to run but his body stiffened up so much that moving was not an option.

"You are getting hard." Kaede smiled.

Daiki gulped and tried to move but Amber grabbed his left while Margaret grabbed the other side.

"I won this game of Cat and Mouse hubby." Kaede smiled.

The smile of a winner was nowhere to be seen. The smile of a predator was there.

"We need to get dressed and head out." Daiki said.

"No more running from the Cat." Kaede said.

"I'm not running it is just that we need to get to the Ninth Realm." Daiki answered.

Everyone quickly dressed. Heading out to the Pegasus, Kaede had her husband by the shoulders. She was not going to let him do what he wanted this time around.

The group finally arrived at the Stairway.

"Time to ascend."

When they entered, nothing but pure darkness entered their vision. The darkness was so bad, it felt like living inside a black hole.

"I need some help." Kaede said.

Hearing his wife, Daiki reached for her. He felt something scaly. He did not dare to mention it.

Kaede reached out and felt something scaly. She felt more freaked out than her husband. She wanted to keep her composure.

"Oh by the way, if you feel something scaly. Do not worry about it. It likes to be a joker at times." Margaret said.

"I have not felt anything yet." Daiki answered.

"I felt a scale brush against me earlier but nothing now." Kaede answered.

Hearing that the two were not accepting it, it decided to lighten up the place.

Seeing thousands upon thousands of dead bodies lying around. Daiki and Kaede puked.

Margaret and Amber looked and saw the scaly beast.

"Why?" Margaret asked.

"They ignored me." The beast answered.

"Did it mean that they could not feel your hands?" Amber asked.

It raised the couple up and carried them to the end.

"Make sure not to ignore me." The beast said.

The couple could barely make out what it said before they entered the Eighth Realm.

When the group exited, they were in front of the temple that Rex learned the Soul Arts.
