The First Experience

Without realizing it, Keith pinched Sheera's cheek, who looked so adorable. Strange, for some reason he felt comfortable with Sheera, whom he had just met. Even though all this time, he had never let anyone into his territory apart from Jacob and Jacob's younger sister, Eleanor.

Sheera pouted, she didn't know where the funny thing was in what she said. She was sure that Keith was in that strange box called a TV when Keith was near her at the moment. She didn't know that humans could also use magic like the sea witch Lioti who had lived for more than 2000 years.

"Yeah, okay, you're not funny! Don't look at me like that. Look, I don't know how much sea water you drank when you were drowning to make your brain so strange. Me you see on TV is me one week ago when taking part in a free wrestling match at the wrestling arena, the location is quite far from this place. Everything you see on TV is just a video recording being replayed. Don't you really know that?" Keith tried to be patient, explaining to Sheera, who in his eyes was even stupider than a five year old child who could even differentiate between a recording and something real.

Sheera was silent, she didn't quite understand even though Keith had explained it very well. Yes, she knows nothing about the world and human life. She had met Ethan, but at that time she and Ethan often spent time at the beach, not in places like this.

"How? Do you understand now?"

"Yes, I understand."

"Okay, now don't bother me! You better watch TV so I can clean this house. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

"Good!"

Keith restarted a routine that he didn't really like. Cleaning his house which was really dirty and filled with scattered rubbish and dust. Starting from cleaning up the only bedroom in the flat, bathroom, toilet, laundry room, kitchen and living room. He did it, while the innocent guest was still focused on the TV show showing his wrestling match

Sheera looked so enthusiastic, her eyes focused on the TV screen until she barely blinked. When Keith was hit by his opponent, she looked panicked and sad, but on the contrary, when Keith managed to win the match, her eyes shone, she looked happy.

"Hey, that's how fun it is, isn't it?" Keith asked, who was shirtless because his body was soaked in sweat. He really worked very hard to clean his house.

"They raised you like that, what does it mean?"

"That's because I won!"

"Won? After you knocked the guy unconscious? You won?"

"Tsk, you really don't know anything, do you? I have to explain things like this to you too?" He sighed in annoyance. It felt like taking care of a five year old child was giving him a hard time.

"It was a wrestling match, the man and I fought each other to determine who was the strongest and won between the two of us. As you can see, I managed to make him battered and unconscious. That's why I won!"

"That means you are very strong?"

"Of course, I'm very strong. No one doubts that and you shouldn't doubt that either!"

"Okay, you are very strong, Keith!" Sheera praised sincerely while smiling sweetly. Keith, who didn't expect to be praised so sincerely like this, made him feel embarrassed.

His face and ears were red, he didn't understand why there were still women acting innocently like this nowadays? In his entire life, this was the first time he had met someone who was so pure and honest.

He didn't know whether Sheera was just pretending to be innocent or whether this was how she really was. He lived cautiously and swore to himself that he would never trust anyone.

"Are you hungry?" He asked. He tried to divert his attention and didn't want to drag on too much with his fascination with the girl in front of him.

"Hungry?"

Keith had just asked, Sheera's stomach immediately growled. She just remembered that the last time she ate was when she was still in Jacob's palace. That means yesterday morning. Sheera held her stomach, she just realized that her body was weak because she hadn't eaten anything.

Keith smiled as he sighed, he forgot that the two of them still hadn't eaten anything since yesterday. He stepped into the kitchen and opened the empty refrigerator.

"Nothing turns out, well what can I do!?" He thought. He put his t-shirt back on which he had just taken from the cupboard. He headed towards the door after putting on his shoes. Sheera followed him when she realized that Keith was leaving.

"Where are you going? How about the food?"

"I'm going to the supermarket to shop, you stay here!"

"Supermarket? What is that? Is that some kind of food?"

"A supermarket where we can buy groceries."

"Can I go to the supermarket too?"

"You don't have to come, just stay here!"

"No! I want to come with you!" Sheera insisted on coming along. She even forcibly pulled Keith's hand. Keith didn't expect that Sheera was quite stubborn too.

"Hey, let go of my hand! You're really strong too, aren't you?"

"I want to come! I want to go to the supermarket too!"

"Yes, okay, okay, let go of my hand first!"

"Can I come along?"

"Yes, you can come!"

"Yeay...!"

Sheera cheered happily, her laughter and shining face made Keith feel strange. This girl was too innocent, as if this was her first time stepping foot into the world so everything seemed very new to her.

Keith took Sheera to the vehicle parking area in the basement of the flat. He walked towards the place where his motorbike was parked. Once again, Sheera 's eyes widened when she saw an object that looked like a horse but had a strange shape.

"Is this a horse too?"

"What? Don't be kidding! You also can't tell the difference between a horse and a motorbike?"

"Motorcycle? What is that?"

"The object you see is a motorbike and motorbikes move with engine power. Do you understand?"
