Chapter 15: Civilization

"So the goddess tricked us, she didn't send Julius back to earth, she sent him somewhere else in this world" Luke muttered under his breath, he was leaning against the wall watching the gathering of students. Being summoned into a different world was really something shocking but now he was perhaps the first one after Julio to understand what was going on and that they were all fooled.

But while everyone was hugging, both otakus stayed away processing as much information as possible.

"So we were right, the goddess is not a benevolent entity, she will probably be an enemy in the future" mentioned Barton.

"Good, that's it" Sara clapped her hands to get everyone's attention "tomorrow we can talk more calmly, Julio now needs to eat and rest".

Everyone present understood the situation, it was enough to see Julio's appearance to have an idea of how much he had to face alone.

Julio's path was clear, during the first day the dinner was much louder than usual, Julio was able to eat until his belly seemed to burst, the topics of conversation were varied, Julio told everyone what had happened, while the rest of the students told Julio all their adventures as heroes.

The first night was really special for Julio, the maids of the castle prepared a first class room for the young student, Sara personally guided him to the room where he could rest.

"Tomorrow during the morning we will talk more calmly, we can catch up with all the details and maybe you could consider the option of joining the group" Julio kept looking at her, she really seemed to have faith in victory and seeing them all together made that same flame ignite inside him.

"Yes, during the day I think we should discuss everything" Julio scratched his head, he really was exhausted.

"Sure, I'll say goodbye then, have a good night Julio."

"Thank you president" waiting for her to move a couple of meters away, Julio closed the door slowly and turned to see his room.

There was nothing ostentatious, a large window with long soft colored sheers, the bed was huge with a look that seemed to inform anyone who used it of its high monetary cost.

Julio took a long gulp, it was the first bed he had seen in days, his whole body was roaring for him to drop his body onto the bed and just as his body demanded, Julio dropped down gave a couple of slight bounces and stopped.

"A bed, it really is a bed" Julio rubbed his face several times on the bed "I thought I would never see one of these ever again, it's... so... comforting" as he spoke Julio's mind slowly faded and soon his eyes were closed.

The night passed without any inconvenience, during the morning everyone came out of their rooms to have breakfast and start the exercise routine.

"Where is Julio?" asked Henry looking at Sara, but she only pointed upwards.

"he's still resting, apparently there were many days when he couldn't sleep and if he managed to sleep at some point it wasn't in a decent bed."

The sun was at its highest point in the sky when Julio regained his consciousness, the heavy eyelids that he had carried day after day were now much lighter and opened slowly allowing all the light to enter his eyes as it should.

He lifted his head slowly so that his own upper body would keep up, he looked everywhere puzzled, the bed he was sitting on, the windows and even the walls, everything was in the same place he remembered "It wasn't a dream" he muttered under his breath, his hands were clutching the blanket on the bed as if it was going to disappear at any moment.

After several minutes, she finally decided to get out of bed, she put her feet on the floor, she still had her school clothes with the damage accumulated in the dungeon, there was a change of clothes near the bed "it looks pretty fancy, I'd really like to use it, but" Julio gave a little check to her body odor "I really need a shower."

There was only one answer at this point, wearing the same clothes Julio decided to look for directions, but when he opened the door he was surprised.

"Mr. Julio, I was hoping you would wake up."

In front of Julio's door was a woman with an appearance capable of rivaling the most famous models in the world before, but now that young woman stood in front of Julio bowing slightly.

"Who are you?" the answer to the question was quite obvious, she had the attire of a maid, but at that moment Julio was not thinking proper and simply let out the first thing that was on his mind.

The maid didn't seem to be surprised at all "I am a maid of the royal palace, I was instructed by Miss Sara to support you young Julio" the maid's voice was soft and respectful, to the point where Julio felt uncomfortable.

"very well" he answered somewhat unsure, he doubted what was happening, but gathered courage quickly "for now I just want to take a shower, I want to clean my body."

"A bath, it won't be a problem young Julio, I'll take you right away."

"just call me, Julio, adding more honorifics just makes me feel more uncomfortable, I hope you understand" Julio scratched his head hoping the maid would understand.

"If that is your wish then we will carry it out to the letter, Julio."

"Thank you..."

"Very well, follow me closely while we go to the bathroom."
