"Again. Deeper."
"Stop… I can't take it anymore."
"Again."
Ria groans. Her legs feel numb.
She bent her knees as deep as she could. Her thigh muscles burned.
With the last ounce of her strength she was able to straighten her legs and complete her squat.
"Good."
Ria collapsed onto the ground out of exhaustion, lying face up staring into the ceiling.
Hikari continued squat presses with her half ton claymore.
Then she held her claymore in one hand and did bicep curls with it.
And then back to squat presses.
Finishing her sets, she gulped down her steel tankard full of fresh water.
Hikari stood over her. She placed her massive socked feet on either side of her. Each of them could easily cover her entire body.
Her shirt which was fresh just in the morning was soaked through with sweat, making it stick closely to her body, adhering to the contours of her muscles.
Ria saw the huge bottle of protein mix disappear over Hikari's breastline. The sound of her throat moving as she drank the thick mixture.
She flexed her biceps a bit playfully, making it seem as though the protein shake was making her bulk.
All the while Ria lay flat on the ground, looking up at Hikari's titanic body.
She felt so tiny. So insignificant before her.
"Finish it" Hikari bent over and looked down at Ria.
"Yes.. Hikari.. " She flipped over, crawled to her tea cup, barely gripping the handle with her trembling fingers and drank the thick protein mix.
"More"
Ria gagged and choked at the overwhelming stench.
She extended her tongue and licked up the last drop.
Hikari shuffled her feet close together, pincering Ria between them.
The combined stench from her morning run and another workout engulfed Ria.
"Does my lady like the smell of my feet?"
Ria took shallow breaths to block the smell. But the smell was too strong. She couldn't think anymore. She was completely paralyzed, on the verge of blanking out.
She took a deep breath, gasping for air. It was fresh air.
Hikari was standing against the wall, some distance from her, doing some stretching.
"Stand up."
The command echoed in her head. Ria got on both legs.
"Stretch."
Ria stretched out her
Ria felt better now. She was able to stand up without much difficulty.
"Get stronger."
Ria nods. "Yes… mistress Hikari…"
"Oh?"
"Oh I mean, drill mistress Hikari. Feminine term for the drill master. That seems like an appropriate title given how I have been receiving more training from you than the drill master himself." Ria slapped her hands over her lips.
Hikari thought for a bit. She was visibly bemused at the suggestion.
Visible to Ria at least, who was watching every minute change in Hikari's expression which normally appeared as though it was frozen in time.
"Too long. Just Hikari."
"Yes Hikari." Ria nods.
With two strides, Hikari was right above Ria again. Her sudden approach startled her.
She knelt down, placing her palm behind Ria.
"Get on."
Ria sat down on Hikari's palm. She was lifted in the air to Hikari's chest level.
Badum! Badum! Ria's heart pounded as she got a close up view of Hikari's bare abdominal muscles. Her thick, wet cotton shirt sticking to her humongous breasts.
Hikari dropped her in the basin.
"Strip" Slowly, Ria unbuttoned her shirt. It was soaked through with her sweat and Hikari's that dripped onto her as she stood over her. She placed her outside on the ledge of the basin.
Meanwhile, she looked up in at Hikari disassembling her outfit in a circus act.
Water flowered from an opening at the top down to her.
She directed some of it to Ria.
Pressing another lever, she filled her hand with viscous soup and added it into Ria's bath.
The funny smell of the mass produced cheap soap makes Ria's nose twitch. Nevertheless, she started scrubbing herself.
The soap wasn't the silky smooth rosey feeling she was used to, but she was still so soaked through in grim and dirt that she didn't care.
As she washed herself, she couldn't help but stare at Hikari.
Water whirled round and round her body. The giantess grabbed a handful of soap and rubbed it onto her voluptuous blossoms, her toned biceps, lifting up her thick thighs and getting it on the underside.
Her body was covered from head to toe in muscles that could bend steel. Her fair skin, not a hint of freckles or scars. Unusual for a seasoned knight to retain that level of perfection.
Hikari dried herself by telekinetically rubbing a small towel piece all around her body.
She picked Ria up from the basin and dropped a towel onto her. Ria began drying herself with it.
She walked over to the wardrobe area where stacks of fresh cloth pieces were waiting.
Fresh stacks of cotton sheets neatly placed in the compartments. Not a sign of deep stains nor patching.
At the top of the wardrobe, there were stacks of black sheets of silk. The stacking was rather messy as the sheets were not uniform rectangular shapes unlike the cotton pieces. Their shapes were rather round in many places.
"Black spider silk. Many times more elastic than cotton. Quite sturdy too. Sturdy enough for you I hope. "
Hikari placed Ria atop the wardrobe structure.
She studied the silk pieces.
"It's flammable. It lacks defense." Hikari complained.
