Chapter 10
Kenshin put his thoughts aside and went to fetch a chair and a spanner and began unscrewing the tank's fasteners. After five minutes of grumbling, he unscrewed all the fasteners and removed the bottom of the tank. After pulling it down, he began to measure the scale by eye and make notes on the future formation.
With the acquisition of formation knowledge - he first acquired knowledge of blueprints, and it was as if he had been doing just that for several years, but although his basic formation knowledge was top-notch, he lacked reflexive memory, and unforeseen mistakes could occur.
Kenshin nodded to himself after calculating the scale and outlining the plan for the work to be done, and climbed down and began drawing the runes on the bottom of the tank. He was very meticulous and meticulous in his approach, and the drawing on the bottom of the tank took him about fifteen minutes to complete. Putting the finished part aside, he climbed up again, and began to draw the runes even more carefully on the inside of the second part of the tank. This part of the work took him twice as long, and by the end he was sweating profusely and his hands refused to go up, but he overpowered himself and finished the work.
Within minutes of screwing the bottom of the tank into place, the young man had scrawled an unknown sigil on the outside, and the runes inside the tank glowed with a bluish glow, then extinguished.
- I think I've done everything right, and there shouldn't be any mistakes. If I fail at the simplest water heating formation, it will be very dangerous to take on something more complicated... - Kenshin muttered thoughtfully, hoping that the formation had worked, but he could check it only in half an hour. The formation drew out the surrounding world energy and converted it into heat, heating the water inside the tank to eighty degrees centigrade, and then worked in passive mode to keep the water from cooling.
Kenshin stretched his slumped shoulders and left the bathroom. When he entered the living room, he saw Aya sitting on the floor near a rack of books, holding an open book in her hands and chuckling softly. When she noticed him, she turned to face him and said:
- Kenshin, look how funny these books are! An old couple decided to bake bread, but the dough came to life and ran away from them! Ha-ha-ha, and then a fox ate it! But foxes don't eat bread... Or do they? - Aya mumbled thoughtfully, and stopped laughing.
The young man came up to her, gently stroked her head, and asked: - Can you read?
- Mm-hmm, but badly. My grandfather taught me a little. When I was a kid, he told me a lot of tales about the ancestor of chakra, the sage of the six paths, and the shinobi god Hashirama Senju. But I think they're all lies. Shinobi are powerful, but they can't create the moon or grow a forest!
Kenshin sat down beside her, hugged her gently, and kissed the back of her neck. - They can, and more. Maybe our children will be even stronger than the first Hokage, or even the Sage of the Six Paths.....
- What? Children? But neither you nor I are shinobi, so how will our children become so strong? Besides, even if they do, we'll be old men by then..." Aya sighed.
- Well... In fact, you're already pregnant... - Kenshin said, and before he could continue, Aya exclaimed shocked:
- WHAT?! But... - And was immediately interrupted by Kenshin.
- Shut up, let me finish. - The boy said, and Aya was instantly silent. He realised that he had accidentally turned on the "orderly tone", so he put his arms around the girl and pressed her against him, whispering in her ear:
- Don't ask me what's going on. I can't tell you everything, but you're pregnant, and you're due in a fortnight. - As soon as he finished, Aya turned around and stared at him in shock.
- Don't ask. You can't know, for your own good. - Kenshin said with a sigh, and pulled the girl to him again, kissing her soft cherry lips.
They kissed passionately, and after half a minute Aya relaxed and began to wrestle with her tongue with the man she loved. Kenshin gave his hands free rein and began gently stroking her back, moving his right hand forward and grasping her small but beautiful breast, pinching the nipple. The girl moaned softly into his mouth, and began stroking the young man's muscular chest, enjoying the relief of his pecs.
After a few minutes, Kenshin broke the kiss, and said: - Ooof, that's enough. We have a lot to do, we'll have fun later. Come on, I'll show you something.
As soon as they entered the bathroom, Aya quietly aghast, covering her mouth with her small palm. - God, what is this? - She muttered, staring at the large tub standing at the end of the room. She couldn't resist stroking the smooth tiled wall, wondering what those magnificent walls were made of.
The girl had been to the hot springs of Konoha and other places several times, but she had never seen such smooth and shiny walls, she thought that there must be such magnificent walls only in the bathrooms of high ranking officials, or powerful shinobi.
- This is our bathroom. Look..." Kenshin said, and took the shower gel from the shelf, opened it, and held it out to the girl's face.
She sniffed, and opened her eyes sharply: - Mmm, it smells so nice... Even rich ladies' perfume doesn't smell as good as this. Where did you get this perfume? - Aya asked with interest, inhaling the fragrance, squinting her cute nose.
- It's not perfume, it's shower gel. You need it to wash your beautiful body. - Kenshin said softly, and ran his right hand down the girl's back, squeezing her small, firm ass.
- Aah! There's a reason I fell in love with you, Nakayama Kenshin. You're a real flatterer! - Aya murmured, and pressed her body against his. The young man was pleased by her confession, and he hugged her gently, then introduced the inquisitive beauty to various hygiene items, from toothpaste to shampoo, razor, and aftershave.
"Hmm, I'll have to put a little formation on my razor so the blades don't get dull" - Thought the young man, and then moved on to the main 'miracle'.
- Come here, look. - He said. - This is a water tap. Here, you lift this thing up, and voila - water flows. You turn it to the left, only cold water flows. Turn it to the right, only hot water flows. Adjust it as you see fit. Here, try it. - Kenshin said, and stepped aside a little.
- Wow! Now you don't have to carry a bunch of buckets of water and take a long time to heat it up on the cooker? Oh, that's wonderful! God, just when I think I've seen it all - you surprise me again and again, shattering my perceptions of the world....
- You'll be surprised many times over, sweetheart. - Kenshin said, hugging her from behind and unbuttoning her shirt. - Now let's freshen up a little.
