The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 61

Chapter 61: You don’t stink at all Chapter 61: You don’t stink at all Alice got out of the bathroom and as she opened the door, she squinted her eyes, trying to block the rays of the radiant pink that was attacking her eyes.

“Ahh, my eyes.” She squealed.

She could not get used to this color.

Why in the world was everything pink?

The sheets were pink.

The wardrobe, the dressing table and even…

Ugh, she hated it.

The clothes prepared for her were pink as well.

She had this disgusted look on her face but she could not complain.

Not yet.

She never had a room for herself, not even when she was a kid living with her mom.

They stayed together in one room since their house wasn’t actually a big room.

Medium didn’t even cut it.

They didn’t lack anything back then but her mother was happy with the little house they were living in.

As she said, ‘It’s peaceful.’ And smiled like it was the happiest place in the world.

Well, that was that.

She never had her own room there and she definitely didn’t have one after becoming Big Stach’s dog.

She was grateful, to have her own room for the first time in her life.

After waking up, she was blinded by the pink in the room.

She almost thought she had been kidnapped in her sleep but that didn’t seem to be the case, since her hands and legs weren’t bound and the door was opened as well.

She had been kidnapped in the past and trust me, she knew their methods like the back of her palm.

They weren’t careless.

“So, who was it that was planning to blind me with that hideous princess room?” She asked, standing at the foot of the stairs.

“Whose house is this?” She yelled.

“Are you awake?” She heard Mark’s voice and looked down to find him walking in from the front door.

It looked like he was carrying bags of groceries.

A lot of them.

“Ah, boss.

You’re here too?

No, do you know whose house is this?” “It’s mine.” He answered and her mouth fell.

“Wow,” she sat on the railings and slid down.

“you never told me you were stinking rich.” “Be careful.” Mark said but she wouldn’t listen to him anyway.

“And I’m not stinking rich.

I just earn just about enough to live in a place like this.” He started taking the groceries to the kitchen and she followed, peeking over his shoulders at what he was carrying.

“Whatcha got there?” She asked.

“Groceries.” He answered and her smile widened.

She knew what it was but she just wanted to hear him say it.

She has a keen sense of smell, thanks to having high perception.

So, she could sniff out anything edible.

“Now that you’re awake, why don’t you go take a bath?” Her eyes widened and she started sniffing her arms.

“Wait, do I stink?” She asked.

“Have I been like this the whole time?” “No, no, you don’t stink.” He said.

“But since you’ve not had a decent bath, for four months, according to you, I thought you’d want to soak in a bubble bath and get all that dungeon filth that’s sticking to your skin.” “What?!

I can have a bubble bath?!” She asked, excitement flooding her face.

“Yes.

You just need to put the bubble bam in the tub after filling it up and…” He paused.

She wasn’t paying attention.

Or rather…

She was lost.

He palmed his face, recalling Alice didn’t live a life where she had the leisure of having bubble baths so she didn’t know what a bubble bam was either.

Then, did he have to prepare the bath for her?

“I’ll…

Prepare the bath for you.” He said and she flung her hands in the air.

“Yay!” She suddenly grabbed his hand and dragged him upstairs.

She was so excited that she lost her reasoning for a moment while Mark was just glad that she could still be carefree.

Even if she was acting a bit younger than her age would.

Mark filled the tub with Alice squatting beside it and watching it fill up gradually.

The foam kept rising the more water filled the tub and it got her excited.

She remembered taking a bath in the tub in her cell, but she never had a bubble bath, so it wasn’t thrilling.

Also, she had also taken a bath in the ocean where the Kraken was lying in wait.

But she didn’t know how to swim so she couldn’t go deeper and she had to hurry it up, if not she would get affected by the Kraken’s poison that was gradually spreading in the water.

And then there was that stream she took a bath in.

But none of it got her excited.

Maybe it was because she was surrounded by monsters and was on a mission.

As for the tub in her cell…

She didn’t get excited about it either.

It wasn’t even as big as this one.

“Miss Alice, dip your hand in.

Do you feel the water is warm enough?” He asked.

“If it’s too warm, let me know.

I don’t know the temperature you’re comfortable with, so…” “I don’t mind it being cold.” She said.

“I mean, I only ever bathed in cold water so it doesn’t matter if it’s cold.” Mark’s eyebrows shifted a bit.

He was once more reminded of the kind of rough life this girl lived.

He didn’t like being reminded but he just couldn’t do anything without her bringing up the fact that she never experienced it, something that any normal civilian should be used to.

He bowed his head and touched the water.

It was warm but not warm enough to make her feel relaxed if she soaked in, so he turned on the hot water tap.

“Miss Alice, you don’t have to bathe in cold water.” He said.

“Since there’s always hot water available, use it.

It’ll help relax your muscles.” “Hm, is that so?” She asked and watched the water level rise.

“Alright.

I guess I’ll be living a comfortable life going forward.

Thanks, Boss.” “And…” He covered his mouth a bit, feeling embarrassed.

“You can call me Mark.” “Oh, for real?

Then, don’t call me Miss anymore.

Just call me Alice.” She said and smiled.

He had no problem with that.

“Alright, Alice.” He said and switched off the tap.

“Well, I think it’s time to get in.” Alice said, getting up from her squatting position.

She took the coat off right away, stunning Mark.

Was she planning to…?

She placed her hands on the waist of her wretched shorts, planning to pull them down in his presence and he yelled, “Alice!” “Oh wow, you got used to it so easily,” Alice said when she should be asking why he called her like that.

“Do not take off your clothes in front of a man.

I told you before.” He said and she snapped her fingers.

She rolled her eyes in remembrance as she exclaimed, “Oh, I almost forgot.

You said it was the dignity of a woman, right?

I know it’s something similar.

Anyway, I didn’t think it was that important.” She said but he placed his hand on her shoulders and said as seriously as he could.

“Do not take off your clothes in front of a man.

Any man.

Do you understand?” “Yes, I do.

Now, can you get your hands off me?

If you don’t, I’ll take off my shorts right away?” She said with a smile on her lips but he immediately ran out.

She was a menace.

Why doesn’t she realize she has the body of a fully grown woman now?

He had to stick that into her head.

If not, she may try to take her clothes off in front of anyone without giving it much thought.

He covered his face which was flushing red.

What was his problem?

Alice stood in front of the mirror.

This was after she came out of the bathroom and was nearly blinded by the color of the room.

She stared blankly at the person in the mirror.

What was this?

Was it a portrait of someone?

But no…

She opened her mouth and the person in the mirror opened her mouth.

She moved her eyebrows and they moved their eyebrows as well.

Her eyes widened and she screamed.

Mark rushed towards her room, worried that something had suddenly happened but he saw her staring at the mirror.

“What’s wrong?” He asked.

“Oh, who’s that?

Why does my reflection…?” “Alice, that’s a mirror.” “I know it’s a mirror, idiot.

I’m asking why I look like a completely different person.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah Okay, Alice finally looked herself in the mirror And this was her reaction.
