Legendary Traveler: By Earning Progress Points I will Become Supreme!

Sometime later, and having practically finished cleaning up the small cave, worry was beginning to set in for Aoni, seeing as neither of his summons had yet to return home.

Mind you; if it weren't for being in constant contact and hearing occasional Gaos or short conversations with Nyria through the LoS, he probably would have long since given up cleaning and gone in search of the two.

Nearly an hour after his arrival back in Genovia, and one spotless cave later, Aoni stepped foot back outside into the icy lands of his territory and looked toward the sky, soon after spotting a certain floof screaming bloody murder and thrashing about as Nyria carried her.

{'For crying out loud, Glacia, the only way she drops you is if you keep struggling,'} Aoni said through his mental communication, causing Glacia to play dead instantly.

**AN: From now on, when speaking using the LoS, it will be done in {TEXT} format**

'That's what I thought, ohhhhh I see, that's what took so long, hehe, well, even if she tries bathing Glacia herself, I doubt Nyria could get all the grime off that grubby little floof.' Chuckling to himself and standing beside the campfire, Aoni watched as Nyria swooped down, deposited Glacia on the ground beside the log seats, and gracefully landed next to her Lord.

"Well, well, well, look what the cat…er…bird brought in; if it isn't my baby floof Glacia, hmmmm, what should we do with this little gremlin?" Crossing his arms over his chest and tilting over to meet Nyria's eyes, Aoni found himself struggling not to laugh his ass off because of the way Glacia was sitting.

Butt on the ground, hind legs spread out, and staring at the floor in shame.

"Cheee, CHEEE!" Catching on to the little game Aoni was playing, Nyria hopped up and down before crossing her wings over her chest and mimicking his posture and tone.

"Hmmm, so I see you tried to give her a bath; good work, little one, but unfortunately, things bout to be different round these parts."

"Chee?" Tilting her head in confusion, Nyria wasn't using the LoS, but Aoni was able to understand what she was asking.

"Indeed, verrrryyy different, especially bathtime; you see, when I went back to my homeland, I happened to pick up a few things, things that, hopefully, will turn the DREADED bathtime into something a bit more fun."

Hearing this, Glacia slowly looked up at Aoni with watery eyes filled with curiosity at the words fun and bathtime being in the same sentence.

"However, only good girls get to have fun baths, while naughty ones well, it's to the snow piles for them, HMMMM what to do what to doooo, say, Nyria, how would you like to try out the new bathtime?"

"Cheee?"

"Yep, you, you've been a good girl and did your best to keep things tidy around the camp; I think that deserves a good reward,"

"gaoooo…" Feeling like her whole world was falling apart, Glacia wanted to join in on the new fun thing, but when she noticed that Aoni seemed to be giving more attention to her little sister, it was only then she truly understood how badly she'd messed up.

During the entire time he was gone, she'd practically done whatever she wanted, ignoring Nyria and causing mayhem wherever she went, either through massacring monsters, tracking blood and mud everywhere, or roughhousing in the cave, something she had been told countless times not to do.

Heck, she had even accidentally broken a few pieces of furniture in the house, all of which she didn't know Aoni had found out about.

Keeping a watchful eye on his baby yeti, Aoni was only teasing her and, of course, would let her join in on so-called "fun bathtime." however, he wanted to instill discipline in the floof because how else would he be able to trust that she wouldn't destroy things when he left back to Terra next time.

Walking a bit away from the campfire, Aoni reached into his inventory and pulled out a certain item he desperately wished he'd brought along originally, a tape measure, and began plotting out a suitable space away from anything before, using a stick to draw out the rough dimensions in the snow.

With that complete, next, he brought out a large box the size of a desktop computer, opened it up, and got to work.

Meanwhile, Nyria stood near by watching him work while looking back and seeing Glacia was doing the same thing, only their expressions were drastically different.

One was curious, while the other was sad.

Before long, an object began taking shape, made of stainless steel plating, a large…BATHTUB was swiftly constructed and moved to the side for him to continue setting up.

Within 30 minutes, a small bathing area had been created, and once done, Aoni wiped the hint of sweat off his brow, stepped back, and admired the work.

Sitting before him was a three-and-a-half foot tall by 6-foot long bathtub, resting atop a large tiled floor, all of which were housed in a small wooden shed.

Having memorized the instructions beforehand, it was a simple task for Aoni; and before shutting the door to close himself off from them, the Lad cast both of his summons a cheeky smile and said.

"No peeking now," and with that said, he closed the shed door and started taking out dozens of different bathtime toys. From rubber duckies to small rings, the shed was soon filled with all kinds of what could be classified as either baby or pet toys, while a small shelf held all sorts of soaps and shampoos.

'Heh, they won't even know what the heck any of this stuff is, but it doesn't matter; now the question is, will hot water bother them at all?' Aoni thought carefully while setting up a piece of equipment suitable for Genovia since it ran only on Energia Crystals and whose sole purpose was heating water for bathing.
