Reborn in another world as a Hermaphrodite

After walking for almost ten minutes, the seven of them finally arrived at Katherine's house.

"Hm... Did we ask Mom for a key?" Mary asked as the front door was locked.

Both Alex and Sophia shook their head as they soon realized they didn't actually have a way to get inside.

"Let me just knock on the door."

After waiting for a bit, the door finally opened, revealing Katherine standing behind it.

"Welcome back! You guys are?"

"Hello, Miss Katherine. We're Sophia's friends. We were wondering if we could have a tour of what the teacher houses look like."

Katherine looked a little hesitant, but Sophia whispered something into her ear that made her change her mind.

"Come on in. Let me get you guys some tea."

As Katherine headed inside the kitchen, the four girls followed the three inside into the living room.

"So many books..." Chloe murmured as all two sides of the wall were bookshelf full of books.

"Sophia, your house looked so much better than our dorm," Evelyn commented as she sat down on the sofa.

"I wouldn't be leaving if I were you. The atmosphere feels so much better than just a few trees with a park."

Luna pointed out, as she looked out the window, a beautiful waterfall with a mountain in the distance.

"Mary, can you bring us to your bedroom?" Camille asked curiously as she became intrigued by the rest of the house.

"Sure! Follow me!"

As the two began heading further inside, Sophia and the other three girls quickly followed.

"Where did everyone go?" Katherine asked as she emerged with a tray holding four tea cups and a teapot.

"They are checking out the bedroom... Mom, are you a teacher?" Alex suddenly asked.

"Me? A teacher? Why do you think that?"

As Katherine put the tray onto the coffee table before the sofa, Alex thought back to what they said earlier.

"Luna said that the only residential area in the school with houses rather than apartments is for teachers."

"She isn't wrong... Well, I'm not a teacher. This house is actually owned by my teacher, who hasn't come back for years now."

Seeing Katherine's emotion look a little grumpy rather than saddened, Alex got even more intrigued by it.

"What happens to the teacher?"

"She is just busy traveling around the world right now. So she left the house for me to take care of."

"I see... Oh snap, be right back!"

Alex suddenly realized something as he ran straight from the living room to his bedroom.

But it was far too late as Sophia and Mary had already opened all the drawers.

"Hey, Alex, your guy's bedroom is pretty nice." Camille complimented.

"Thanks..."

Alex nervously stood still as nobody seemed to notice something off about his section of the drawer containing several bras and panties.

"You three still sleep together? That's a little surprising."

Evelyn pointed out after noticing there was only one king-size bed with three pillows.

"Yeah, we had been sleeping together since there are only two bedrooms in the house, and Mom lives in the other one."

Sophia explained, seemingly not noticing or just not caring that all four of them were looking a little weirded out by it.

"We have been sleeping together since we were out of the cribs!" Mary added, not noticing the change on their face either.

"Ahem, let's go see the rest of the house."

Sophia guided all four of them to the bathroom next, which was smaller than the one in the dorm.

But still, the bathtub size shocked all four of them as it clearly could fit at least four people at once.

An hour later...

After touring the entire house and sitting in the living room for a bit to chat with Katherine, the four said goodbye and left the house.

"Sophia, how did you make so many friends already?" Katherine curiously asked as she closed the door.

"We just met today in class... Evelyn was my seatmate who talked to me first before introducing the other three to me."

"I see... Mary, what do you think of them?" Katherine asked as she gently patted Mary on the head.

"They are very nice! I feel included when I talk to them..." Mary excitedly replied.

"That's good... Sophia, you're going to need to take care of your sister in school, okay?"

"I know, I know. Who else would I take care of in class?" Sophia grumpily replied, feeling a little jealous at the attention Mary was receiving.

"Hey Alex, have you made any friends?" Katherine curiously asked.

"Nope, I'm stuck sitting next to a grown adult," Alex replied without looking back as he continued reading his book.

"Really? Sophia, what happens in the classroom?" Katherine asked, turning her attention over.

"Miss Amelia, I mean Auntie Amelia, was our teacher. She assigned Alex to sit right in the front while Mary and I sat in the back."

"She's your teacher?" Katherine looked a little surprised.

"Miss Amy is sick, so Auntie Amelia was our substitute for the week," Mary replied this time.

"How dare she put my son next to an adult. I'm going to talk to her——"

"Mom, it's fine. Justin is pretty nice. I don't mind sitting next to him." Alex replied as he finally dropped his book back down.

"Why is there a fully grown adult in the class in the first place?" Katherine curiously asked.

"He's stuck at mage level one," Alex explained.

"Then wouldn't he be kicked out? How is he still in the school?" Katherine questioned.

All three of the kids shrug their shoulders, as they don't know the rules regarding expulsion.

"Whatever, I'll talk to her later. I'm going to cook dinner right now. You three go take a shower first."

With Katherine leaving the living room, both Sophia and Mary got up from the sofa.

But just as they were about to go into the bathroom, they headed back into the living room to drag Alex to be with them forcefully.

"Let me go! I'm going to take a shower later!" Alex demanded as he tried to resist, but he was just too weak compared to Sophia.

"Too bad. I want to take a bath today. Mom's going to kill me if it's only me and Mary taking a bath.

I need you to be with me. Come on, don't be shy. We don't mind seeing your naked body."

Mary quickly snatched the book from Alex's hand before putting it onto the sofa, then entered the bathroom before closing the door.

When all three came out of the shower, Sophia and Alex's faces blushed red as they tried to forget what had happened earlier.

Meanwhile, Mary didn't seem to bothered at all, as she quickly sat down at the dining table before jumping straight into eating.

"What's wrong? Why are you guys' faces so red?" Katherine asked curiously as she handed plates full of food over to them.

"Mom, what's the stuff that comes out of Alex's thingy?" Sophia suddenly asked.

"What thingy? Alex, what is she talking about?" Katherine asked as she turned her head over to him.

Alex doesn't look back, eating his food in silence.

His face looked increasingly embarrassed every second, as he felt disappointed and ashamed of himself for earlier.

"Mary, what happened in the bathroom?" Katherine asked, seeing that the two did not want to cooperate.

"Bathroom? We took a bath together and then... Oh, and brother shot out some white stuff when we accidentally slipped and fell on top of him."

Katherine froze as she dropped her fork onto the table, unable to believe what Mary had just casually said out loud.

Eventually, she came back to her senses.

"Mom, I——"

"It's okay, Alex. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Your body is still developing. It's completely normal."

Seeing Katherine looking so understanding, Alex suddenly felt a little guilty.

"Mom... So, can you explain what that stuff is?" Sophia asked again, wanting an answer as she still felt a little disgusted by it.

"Yeah, what is that stuff?" Mary asked curiously, her brain finally realizing it wasn't normal.

Katherine sat in silence for a second before letting out a sigh.

"I'll tell you guys after we finish eating... And Alex, you're going to sleep with me tonight instead."

Alex nodded in agreement, not attempting to argue back, as he could feel this was going to be the final straw that separated him from the family.

Twenty minutes later...

As Katherine began washing the plates in the kitchen, all three of the kids sat on the sofa, waiting for her to come over.

None of them spoke up, as the atmosphere had been extremely awkward ever since leaving the bathroom.

Even Mary couldn't help but stay silent, as she didn't have anything to say to break it.

After waiting for five minutes, Katherine finally came back with a towel, wiping her wet hands.

"Mary, can you go back——Never mind, actually just stay here with your sister..."

Katherine grabbed a chair from the dining area and sat right before the three of them.

"You guys know Alex is... hermaphrodite, right?"
