Treated Better (Normal Version)

Page Twenty-Six

It had been days since the Muddle Bud incident but no one had seen Mizuki since. Mizuki was wrapped tightly in a wad of blankets, trying to make all of the pain go away.

*Knock Knock Knock*

Mizuki: Come in!

Ghirahim: Good to know you're still alive. I was hoping to- Mizuki?

Mizuki: Under the wad of blankets.

Mizuki popped her head out from under her covers. The fight had left her hurting and now her period had come, bringing cramps with it. Her emotions, cramps, and cravings made her adventures much harder so she just stayed home.

Ghirahim: I was hoping to adventure with you today but I guess that will have to wait.

Mizuki: Yeah, fighting you was exhausting and now I have even more to deal with on top of that.

Ghirahim: Are you sick?

Mizuki: No, my uterus is being a bitch.

Ghirahim: By that I assume you mean period cramps are causing this.

Mizuki: Mhm.

Ghirahim: Is there anything I can do to help?

Mizuki: Unless you can rip my uterus out without killing me or magically make the pain go away, not really.

Ghirahim: I could make you some tea and get you something to eat?

Mizuki: That does sound nice, I haven't eaten since yesterday.

It was only a few minutes before Ghirahim came back with some tea and a tray of fruits and vegetables. Mizuki wiggled out from under her shell of blankets and grabbed a piece of Swift Carrot.

Mizuki: You don't have to tend to me y'know.

Ghirahim: How am I supposed to regain your trust if I don't take care of you?

Mizuki hated herself so much for already forgiving him. His kind actions were making her swoon yet again. If Mizuki wasn't careful he could have her wrapped around his finger like he had before. Before her thinking could go any farther, he snapped her out of it.

Ghirahim: Come walk around town with me, you shouldn't remain dormant for so long.

Mizuki: *Sigh* Okay, but I'm going in my pajamas.

They walked down to Tarry Town with Mizuki clinging to Ghirahim's arm for support. The town was more crowded than usual, making it louder than either Mizuki or Ghirahim preferred.

Random Kid: I want it NOW! Give me it!

Random Guy1: That's the pig I told you about... I gave her a chance and she denied me, that's how full of herself she is.

Random Girl1: Look at the cute guy next to that girl over there.

Random Girl2: The vampire looking one? He's ugly, I like that guy.

Random Guy2: Can that kid shut up, they're hurting my ears.

Random Merchant: Get your limited edition toys here! Make your kid the happiest in the world!

Mizuki leaned into Ghirahim's shoulder, she had started to get a headache due to the volume of the town.

Random Girl1: Hey cutie, wanna go out with a real woman~

Ghirahim: I'm not interested in prostitutes, go find someone else to bother.

Mizuki held back a giggle at the girl's face after being called a prostitute.

Random Girl2: I told you he wasn't interested.

As soon as the girls left Mizuki released the laugh she had been holding.
