Book 2: Chapter 45
My head was hurting like crazy when I woke up the next day. It was probably a hang-over. I rolled over.
Luna hasn’t called me up yet today. Well, don’t wake me up then. I feel like crap today. I just want to lie in bed all day.
Everything has been solved. This is all I can do with humanity. I’m not feeling too good, but the matter with Castor is over. My relationship with Nier is doomed to remain tense, so that means everything to do with me and humanity is done and dusted.
I’ll just kick back and relax now. Oh, wait, I can still go hang out at the red-haired lady’s place and play with the kids too. But with the safety conditions there, I wonder if the kids can still run around like before.
Luna came in with a basin of water, looked at me with a smile and said: “Good morning, your majesty. You do not look too well. You probably had too much to drink yesterday.”
I rubbed my throbbing head and in a weak voice said: “Yeah. I’ve got a headache…”
“Please take a bite of this fruit. It’s similar to mangosteen, but doesn’t have a shell. It’s more like apple skin and feels like an apple to the touch too.”
Luna had a naughty smile on her face, so I realised there was probably something off about it…. I took a sniff. There were no problems. It had the faint aroma of fruit. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with this fruit which is like an apple, right?
I forgot an important fact. Even apples can be sour. I could imagine how contorted my scrunched up face looked after I bit down into it. It was so sour my tears were coming out. I’d crap my pants laughing if I could see my face right now.
