Chapter 20 by Hannah Taner Hannah Taner

What next?

I'll check on Erza and see how she's doing.

After finishing the Laundry, you head to the restroom. The room is on the more modest side. It's rectangular with a small window on the opposed wall from the door. To your left, there's a small closet at the front and a bathtub at the back of the room. The closet is embedded in the building with wooden planks sticking out from the wall acting as shelves, of which there are four in total. The topmost one has multiple, now nicely folded towels (thanks to Erza). Next down has a variety of cleaning supplies from toilet bowl cleaner to bleach. After that, you have the backup supplies like bar soap, toothpaste, mouth watch, shaving cream, and so on. Finally, the bottom shelf contains a hamper for dirty clothing (empty at the moment for obvious reasons).

The bathtub/shower is the largest single object of the room, taking up about a sixteenth of the space. The tub its self is made of cast iron and coated in porcelain enamel. It has a large frosted/ privacy glass door, a large ceiling-mounted shower-head, and about 8 empty bottles of shampoo and conditioner that you keep meaning to throw out.

To your left, you see a sink at the front and a toilet at the back. The sink is sticking out from the wall with a large bowl, stainless steel faucet, a large mirror on the wall, and a cabinet above the whole setup. In the cabinet houses all your toiletries (and a strangely large amount of rubber duckies for whatever reason). And the toilet... is a toilet. Nothing more to say really.

Erza is currently scrubbing down the bathtub when you walk in. Her armor and boots are set off to the side of the bathroom and her hair is tied up into a ponytail. Without pulling her attention away from her cleaning she says to you "Have you finished the kitchen and laundry yet?"

Confidently you reply "Sure have". You let out a soft giggle before continuing "You know, you don't have to clean right?"

She replies with almost a hit of annoyance in her voice "I do. The character of Erza is incredibly strict, impatient, and blunt with a huge preference towards order and cleanliness. As you ordered me with the stock personality chip, I am to act as she would. If you have a problem with that, open that stupid app and change it yourself." She says all of this without skipping a beat or taking a moment off from her job.

"I'm sorry mam!"

Erza chuckles to herself and lets out a soft smile before looking at you again, eyebrow raised.

"Oh... yay... being in character again..." You feel awkward as Erza finishes the last little bit on the bathtub. She gets up and proceeds to look around the house and in the kitchen. "Good work {your name}. While it's not perfect, this is more than good enough. Thank you." She smiles at you before grabbing you and "hugging" you agian, though it hurts much less the second time.

"Y-your welcome." You say awkwardly while rubbing the back of your neck.

"So, what is it that you wish to do next?" Erza says with a friendly smile. "Do remember, nothing is off the limits."

What do you wanna do next?
