Chapter 2: A Memory and The Red Menace
(No POV)
-Memory Start-
Laughter echoes throughout the basilicom, a laughter of a child and a woman.
Floating in the hallway with a smile of her own, going to the direction to where the laughter was coming from.
Taking a left, then a right, another left and going straight reaching a beautiful door adorned with gold.
Composing herself, she reached the handle, turning it and pushing the door open and reveals a beautiful woman and a small child, laying down and playing as they laugh.
Just watching this wash away her tiredness as she fondly watch them, but she has to let her presence be known, so she spoke.
"Dont you think you're spoiling him too much?" She smiled.
The laughter stopped and looked to where the voice came from to see Histoire watching them with a smile. The woman gently giggled as the child smiled brightly seeing her. the woman stands up, carrying the child in her arms and walked towards Histoire.
"I don't think so." The woman smiled.
"Histy, Histy!" the child jump off the womans arms and went to Histoire.
"Oh dear, still full of energy I see?" Histoire giggled.
"Now, now, my child, It's time for you to sleep." the woman carried him again.
And the word 'Sleep' made the child pout cutely.
"Oh, don't look at us like that." Histoire scolded the child gently.
The woman giggled as she walked towards his bed and laid him down.
"How about I lull you to sleep?" She said making him nod.
The woman took a breath and hummed a soft tune, as if magic, the room suddenly became silent than ever, the noises coming outside was ignored as her humming took reign over the room. Histoire couldn't help but smile at the sight of a mother putting her child to sleep.
As the child listens to her soft humming, his eyelids slowly falls down as he falls asleep, a smile graced his face. Seeing this made the woman smile, she stood up and kissed his forehead.
"Sleep tight..."
The gentle breeze of the wind enters the room making the child shiver a bit.
"...My little Snow."
-Memory End-
(No POV)
Histoire, the Oracle of Planeptune, she is well known for being once associated to the True Goddess, meaning she had lived a very long time, and she has also recorded a lot of events from past to present, why am I telling you this? Because she is currently watching a past event, though not important, but to her it is.
Alone in the sharicite room, watching the event with a sad smile. This is one of the many memory she treasured before everything fell apart. She remembered the child very fondly, headstrong and having short fuse, though it is only shown when she or 'Her' or not present.
She remembered the trouble he gave them both that which never fails to make them laugh, the headache he caused that they both scold him, and the fights he started, very young but already fighting some people who are stronger than him, which made them worry so much.
Remembering the past, made her laugh sadly. She listened to 'Her' humming as the child slowly fell asleep. The child held a very special part in her heart, to her he is like a son to them, they were very protective of him for a reason...
But that is another story for another time.
"I wonder, are you still out there, our little Snow." She said with a little smile.
(Lutos's POV)
Finally those two left, I don't know how much more I can take to their teasing, and it's much more worse that I was being teased by that annoying purple midget...
...That annoyingly cute purple midget...
"Fuck..." I thought.
...Who would've even thought that pudding is like a drug to her, imagine, she cleaned out all of the puddings we have, I even have to make more of it, now I have to go shopping for more ingredients, oh well, at least they payed, so its a win-win situation anyways.
But that is the least of the problem right now, because the problem right now makes me wanting that annoying purple midget to comeback, why? because sitting right in front of me is someone I hope to avoid really, really bad.
Sheesh, problem comes after another.
"...So tell me, how, just how did you convince her to work here when she knew I can take care of everything..." I said gritting my teeth.
On my hand is a letter, grandmother's letter recommending her to work here, just how...
"...Red?" I said venomely to red midget who is smiling innocently.
...Innocent my ass.
This is Red, AKA red midget.
Red is a young girl who looks to possibly be a year or two younger. It's unknown what her true age is, however, she has a noticeably big bust size. Her skin is fair-pale in tone.
She has long crimson hair worn with many bangs framing her face while her hair is worn in the shape of an R on the left side of her head, held with a black rope with two big tan beads. She has white colored stripes in her hair, one on the lower half of one of the R-folds, the other covering almost the whole bang on the right side of her face. Her eyebrows are the same shade of red, while she has gray eyes.
Red dresses in Chinese attire consisting of black and red colors. The top is dark gray and black with golden lining and ruffles with small red X-shaped strings under her breast and a belt like piece. At her chest is an opal blue Magatama. Red has unattached sleeves with small pink cherry blossom and petal patterns around the bottom, with golden lining and black at the bottom. At the top, just below her shoulders are black ruffles. Her skirt consist of four big petal shapes resembling her sleeves, with a pair of shorts underneath. She wears similar black and red shoes.
Around her body is a golden dragon, which may be her pet. It's usually wrapped around her upper half.
...This menace is someone I really hoped to avoid.
And believe it or not she hits on girls, calling them 'Wifey'.
Author, please bring the purple menace instead please, she is more bearable!
Author? yohoo, Author?
Shit, he had abandoned me.
"Oh, don't be like that hubby, you know I missed you so much!" She said as my eyes twitched.
"Why are you here, Don't you had, I don't know 'Wifey's' to hit?" I huffed.
"Oh, are you jelly, hubby." She giggled.
"...I thought you're a lesbo..." I said.
"Maybe." she grinned.
"I'm a guy..." I said.
"You're an exception." She cut me off.
The nerve of this midget.
"Why are you here exactly?" I asked
"Grandma already wrote it in the paper you hold." She grinned as my eyes twitched dangerously.
"Why are you calling her 'Grandma'?" He asked.
"Well, she insist me calling her that." she said putting a finger to her lips.
"Dang it, grandmother." I sighed.
How did Red convince her to work here, I mean it took me a monyh to convince her that I could take everything, and she manage to convince her for what, just 1 day.
"Oh, don't be like that hubby, at least were together now!" She beamed.
"Stop calling me hubby, midget." I said.
"Oh, being a tsundere again, eh hubby, that's why I love you." She cooed.
"S-shut up, you cute m-midget." I blushed.
Damn this annoying midget, good thing were closed right now, if people saw how I act right now, it'll ruin my reputation.
"Ah, you just called me cute!" she points her finger at me.
Crap, my tongue slipped.
"N-no, I didn't." I huffed as I crossed my arms.
"Oh,Wuv you too." She said.
"Midget, do me a favor will you?" I asked.
"Sure, anything for you hubby." She smiled.
"The door is right there, get the hell out and don't come back." I said as I stand up.
"Oh hubby, I know that this was going to happen so, I brought these." I looked back at Red with confusion.
"What?" I said.
Red slid her arms at her sleeves and pulled out a brown envelope, I picked it up and opened the envelope to see pictures, pictures of me wearing...
...
...
...
"The Fuck!" I shout.
I looked at Red, blushing to see all these pictures, These can't be, how did she manage to get a hold of these when the only one I know who knows this is grandmother how?
"If you're wondering how, well, I just told grandma something and she gave me those to make you reconsider if you don't accept me as a new worker here." She smiled mischievously.
"Anything else?" I gulped.
"Well, she said 'If you don't, I'll put all of these in NepBook.' She said." Red said.
What, does grandmother had a NepBook at her age?
"Oh, by the way, you look cute on those." Red added.
Shit, Grandmother got me, Red got me, who's next a sadist wanting me as her toy? shit what should I do.
"...So, am I hired?" Red said hoping that she could work with her 'Hubby'.
"...Yes, you're hired." I gave up knowing that I won't win.
Suddenly, Red jump off her chair and hugged my waist. My pride, oh my poor pride as man has shattared today.
"Yay, I got to work with my hubby!" She giggled.
Someone please smite me before their numbers grew.
"...We could do this..."
Author, why had you abandoned me.
"...And we could do that..."
I could see these midget drooling already.
"...We could do all those naughty things..."
Ew, why does she have to be a pervert. Please give me back the peaceful life I had.
"Red, can I ask something again." I asked to which she nod, still hugging me.
"When you said "I just told grandma something.' What exactly did you just said?" I dread at the reply she's going to give.
"Well..." she scratched her cheeks.
"...Well?" I said.
"...I just told her were married." She beamed.
...
...
...
...
...
"...Red, I will kill you..." I grumbled.
"Oh, hubby love you too." She winked at me.
(Neptune's POV)
Boy am I stuffed, who would've thought that guy could make such delicious puddings. Better make sure that I come back, or better, I could hire him in the basilicom as my personal pudding chef!
Ohhh, thinking of all the pudding I can eat makes me crave for more pudding, too bad that he ran out of ingridients, I even hear him yell, 'Hallelljah'.
...Weird...
But still, teasing him was very fun, blushing like Nowa and blowing up like Blanny, it was a sight to behold, who would've thought that he was a mix of both.
"Hehe..." I snickered.
"Onee-chan?" Nep jr. looked at me with confusion.
"It's nothing." I just wave her off.
"..." I looked behind to see Blanny still blushing.
"Ohhh, Still thinking of Lutos, Blanny." I teased.
"Shut it..." She grumbled.
Wow, Blanny sure loves to read, she even manage to borrow a book and continuing to read it as we walk back at the basilicom.
"Ohhh, Could you tell us the story of the book you're reading, Blanny?" I snickered.
Well, to be honest, it's quite boring, so better make a topic rather than having a silent company.
"Oh, good idea, Neptune." Vert clapped her hands.
"...Well..." Blanc mumbled.
"...Well?" We all said.
"...It's..." I suddenly cut her off by saying.
" A smut..." I silently giggled.
"...A smut..." Blanny repeated.
Everyone stopped walking, as they all stare at Blanny, shock written all over their face, except the twins since they do not know what a 'Smut' is.
"W-w-w-w-what!?" Noire blushed.
"O-oh my, never thought that you were this bold." Vert covers her mouth also blushing.
"Ha-wawawawa..." Poor Compa, her face is all red.
"W-whoa..." Iffy said blushing.
"Oh dear..." NepJr. coughed.
"What's a 'Smut'? " the twins asked.
"..." Uni was quite but also blushing.
"..." I silently snickered.
Blanc suddenly blushed at what she said, she suddenly stuttered as the book she holds fell from her hands. I can't contain it anymore as I laughed, Blanc glared at me suddenly which means she noticed that I did it.
"You..." She growled.
"It's a joke, a joke!" I waved my arms as I try to calm her down.
Everyone looked at me, irritated for doing that.
"What, It's boring..." I pout.
Which made Noire slap my head.
"Ouchies." I yelped
"Next time you do that, I'll use a club to hit you, I don't care if you'll have an amnesia again." She said still blushing.
"So, what is the story of that book?" Nepjr.
And with that, everyone looked at Blanc, seeing she picked up the book.
"Well..." She sighed and continued.
"It's about a male god..." This surprised us.
"A male god?" IF said.
"It's only a fiction..." Blanc grumbled for being interrupted.
"Sorry..." IF apologized.
"...And?" Noire said, Interested at the book.
"...Well, I don't know how to put it..." Blanc said, thinking a better way to explain it.
"...How about you read it for us, after we reach the Basilicom?" Vert said.
"...Good thinking..." Blanc said.
So, we continued to treck our way back to the Basilicom, when we reached the Basilicom, we went up to our room, I noticed Histy is not here to greet us, Huh, this is new. When we reached our room, we all took a seat, making our selves comfortable as we all wait for Blanc who went to the restroom.
"I wonder whats so interesting at the book, Blanc was reading." Noire said.
To which I shrugged.
"Didn't you want to know since you asked?" Vert said.
"Well, it was so boring, I didn't even thought that you will all take interest to it." I pout.
We all suddenly heard a click towards the door opening, only to reveal Blanc, holding the book she borrowed. She took a seat making hereself comfortable.
"Funny, for someone lazy as Neptune to take interest at what I am reading." Blanc said.
To which i stuck my tongue out at her.
"Maybe she's becoming mature?" Noire smirked.
What!
"Oh, maybe reading this book will do her good!" Vert giggled as the candidates also giggled.
You...
"Oh, well better start reading." Blanc said.
And thus, Blanc started reading, with us listening. I thought I was going to be bored but,no In fact, I grew enamored at the tale.
Never thought that I took an Interest to a book before, maybe I am maturing a bit.
...
...
...
...Scary.
A/n: Got to end here for a bit, Next chap will be where they will read a piece of the book, so stay tuned. I wonder If I am making this fast...Well better leave a Review to what you think or spelling mistake or grammar mistake.
