Preparing to head out and more monsters.
.....
[Ace POV],
As we made our way out slowly, I came to a halt and looked at Anna behind me, saying;
"Are you sure you want to go out like that?" I said, pointing at her body, which was barely covered by clothing.
It was safe to say that the only thing the clothes on her body accomplished was to conceal the last vestige of dignity that her birthday suit possessed. freeweb(n)ovel
As she looked at her body, she realized what I meant and let out a short yell as she tried to cover whatever dignity her body had left, which she barely managed to do.
She interrupted me as I was about to speak with a tone and voice that seemed to be a mixture of anger and embarrassment.
"Why are you still staring at me, you jerk? Turn around b-b-b-before I force you to ", she stated emphatically.
I asked uncertainly, turning around obediently because I didn't want the situation to get worse due to something I wasn't aware of, saying;
"What's the deal with you? I simply asked if you wanted to go out in such minimal clothing because, like you, am barely wearing anything and I don't see what the big deal is "I explained that the only reason I asked her that was because I thought that perhaps as a girl she might feel uncomfortable in small clothing.
"Y-y-you scumbag! You can't even apologize for taking advantage of me ", she said, her voice trembling with embarrassment as she went on;
"Besides, you're a man, and your pants aren't even damaged like that in the first place," she said, as it was true that I could still be called a person with clothes in comparison to her.
"So, can you go outside like this?" I asked, still perplexed as to what she was so upset about.
"Of course not, I'm not that open," she said, her voice softening slightly, possibly because I wasn't looking at her.
Hearing that she couldn't go outside like this because of some minor issue, I sighed, beginning to understand the adage that women are stressful creatures.
Thankfully, we hadn't walked far because we were still near the swimming pool area and not far from the entrance outside.
So I turned around and headed back to the relaxation center, ignoring Anna's short yell of surprise when she saw me turn back.
I quickly made my way to the area where people drop their clothes and change into their swimming gear for the swimming pool, ignoring what I assumed was a hateful glare from Anna.
As I hurriedly made my way to the male section to look for comfortable cloth to change in, I told Anna to enter the female section and be quick in changing our clothes with whatever clothes she saw there.
'Perhaps it's unreasonable to go outside semi-naked,' I reasoned as I began to undress.
...
After changing into a new set of clothes, I went to the mirror in the room to assess my appearance.
I observed well enough, with a wild curl hairstyle on my head and the tip at the end of my hair dyed gold, blue eyes, and well-defined muscles that could still be seen from the clothes I was wearing, looking for why my mom always said I had the body of an athlete and a model combined but couldn't find one, so I looked at the clothes I changed into instead.
Wearing a tight black leather long sleeve shirt, tight black leather pants with multiple pockets on the side, and an additional black jacket tied to my waist with black sneakers to back it up, I made sure I wore something that could provide some protection while also not impeding my movements and being comfortable to wear.
Concerning the black color, I wore it because of the situation outside.
It was dark outside, and wearing black should provide some form of concealment from whatever was out there.
And, unlike last time, my clothes will not get too wet if it continues to rain outside.
When I realized I was done with whatever I had to do, I gathered some more clothes and placed them in the storage ring as I made my way out, just as Anna emerged from the woman's changing room.
I'm not sure if it was a coincidence or because she taught the same matter as me, but she also wore an outfit similar to mine, except her shirt was short sleeves instead of long.
'Or maybe the clothes we're both wearing belong to a pair that came here before the strange phenomenon happened,' I thought as I asked Anna if she was finished with whatever she wanted to do, to which she replied with a nod as I told her to follow me back to the women's changing room as I asked her to pick more clothes that were her size that I would put in the storage ring as the space inside was quite large.
Looking at the clothes she brought with some bags mixed in, my eyebrows twitched, but I still put the clothes in the storage ring.
The fact that the clothes we were wearing and the ones we packed were all fairly old confirmed my suspicion that perhaps the entire world had been asleep for three years.
We returned to the surface after determining that everything we needed was carried with us in the storage ring.
.....
As I emerged from the entrance, I noticed that it was still dark and raining outside, and I reminded Anna to make as little noise as possible as we moved forward slowly.
But before we could leave the narrow road, I quickly hid by the wall beside me, covering Anna's mouth with my hands to prevent her from making a sound.
'Damn, more monsters,' I grumbled.
