Book 6: Chapter 3
I took in a deep breath before knocking on the door. I honestly feel a little guilty coming to see mom this time because my goal might poke mom in the wrong way. Militaries are an extremely touchy topic. Freya was right. You only have a voice if you have military power. A military is the foundation of a nation. You basically have a nation’s lifeline if you have control of its army, and this empire was almost completely destroyed because the empire’s army was lax for too long. That part of history is the one tragic memory mom doesn’t want to recall. That is why mom is very sensitive about the military.
“Come in, son.”
I pushed the door open. Mom stood up from her desk and looked at me with a smile. After looking at me silently for a moment she said: “Son… you don’t look too well… and… the smell on you… is Nier’s scent, isn’t it……?”
I went red in the face…… I really don’t want to talk about how Nier suddenly pulled me into a small room and forced another load out of me on the way here…… Man, I feel like I’ve become her bank. As long as Nier is feeling it, no matter where we are, we have to…… I can’t win against her in a fight and she won’t listen to me either. How am I supposed to recover if this continues…..?
“It’s not really mommy’s place to interfere……” Mom blushed a little as well and then continued, “Since that is a perfectly normal for a married couple. But you need to have moderation. Too much of anything can be bad. Your condition isn’t too good right now either, so you should rest more if you can……”
Say no more! Say no more! If you say anymore, you’re going to lose your son! I could die from shame right now! Don’t say anymore! You think I don’t want to rest?! I want to have a peaceful sleep every night too! We agree to just hold each other and sleep for the night, and then the next thing I know is I wake up to find Nier riding on top of me while apologising! Aren’t you telling that to the wrong person here?! Haven’t you got this the wrong way around?!
That’s why my nights are just chaotic. Absolutely chaotic. I only get a short nap in the nearly mornings when Nier tires out. But Nier doesn’t seem to require much sleep since she’s a Valkyrie. Thus, Nier recovers in just a few hours while I’m exhausted like a zombie……
I knew I shouldn’t have agreed back then… but then Nier wouldn’t have become my wife if I didn’t…… Ah… this sucks no matter how I think about it…… I used to anticipate this sort of stuff when I was with Nier, but I get scared whenever I see Nier now……
It’s freaking scary…… Too freaking scary….. I didn’t believe you could get wringed completely dry, but I damn do believe it now! You’ll have mixed fortunes with a wife like this! Wait, no! The misery far exceeds the joy!
