Chapter 22 by Hannah Taner Hannah Taner

Wanna continue cleaning, or move on to something more fun?

I'll clean first.

You grab your phone, turn on some tunes, and continue cleaning up the kitchen. Washing dishes, wiping the counters, sweeping and mopping the floor, and so on. In all, it took you about two hours to finish (or about halfway through your favorite playlist), but look at it now: this is the cleanest you've ever seen it. The damn thing looks like it did when you first moved in.

When you turn around, you can see that Erza already finished the living room. Much like the kitchen, if it wasn't for all of your stuff (like your furniture, computer, and TV) you would have assumed that you traveled back in time to when you were moving in. She even wiped down the sliding glass doors.

From there you head to the laundry room. The room its self is extremely small, barely enough room for both the washing machine and dryer, let alone you. You open the washing machine to see that it's about a quarter of the way full (all of the laundry from the living room and bathroom). So you grab one of your laundry baskets and head out to collect your filth.

It takes you only a couple of minutes to find everything (seeing as how your bedroom was kinda the only place left where you'd find anything). You go back and dump all of your findings into the machine, through in some tide pods, and set her to "large load".

After finishing the Laundry, you head to the restroom to check on Erza. 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... yah... 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." You can see her bulge get larger as she says this.

What next?

More fun
