The Lord of the Universe
Chapter 39, Nakano's Wife and Arthories' Punishment.
The women's hot spring. My sister, my mother, and my friends were there.
"Oh yeah by the way I forgot to introduce myself" my mother said. He turned his body towards my sister.
"Greetings. Me, Sakamaki Usagi! Stepmom Sakamaki Nakano!" My mother said she introduced herself to my sister.
My sister looked towards my mother and introduced herself as well.
"I'm Miyaniku Maname, the older brother of Manab-uh I mean Nakano" my older brother said,
"Where-what?" ask my mom, curious,
"Manabe. That's the real name of Nakano back then, but not any more.",
"Oh.. If I'm not mistaken, we found Nakano not in your universe.",
"Oh.. Nakano was adopted by one family before the Sakamaki family. I don't know the details, but that's what happened.",
"Oh... I wonder what the reason they made a child under 15 suffer. Especially for 7 years. I'm being pity.",
"What do you mean?",
"I mean is... When Nakano was not adopted by our family, he was subjected to severe torment. Probably the heaviest ever. But he still managed to succeed despite the result that he killed his family himself.".
My brother did not answer and could only give up. She felt guilty that she should have taken good care of her sister.
"In short, he is in a phase of rebellion. I still feel sorry for some reason, but to me torturing their 6-year-old son to 12-year-old is outrageous." continued my mother.
"You're right. Does the entire universe have a tormented person as well? Is the organization of this galaxy on the right path or not?",
"That's it. The only one who can be sure of that is him.",
"You're right...".
They both kept quiet. It was quiet with my friends relaxing. My brother counts from the right end to the left end, from Tohka onwards.
"One... two... three.. four.." murmured my brother,
"What are you muttering, right?" ask my mom, please,
"Not just thinking... If in the future, Nakano will marry.",
"You're right but.. isn't that too early?",
"No... the faster... the better.... —you know that saying?",
"You're right. The sooner the better.",
"We're four." Anna interrupted,
"Eh?" —My brother and my mother were surprised,
"The four of us are going to be his wife" Anna said clearly,
"EEEHHHH??".
Instantly Artoria who heard that became interested and secretly listened.
"But the only one who can marry more than one girl is the master of the universe!" my mother said,
"Well, has Nakano not told you yet?" ask Anna, please,
"About what?" ask my mom, please,
"If Nakano was dreaming to become the ruler of the universe.",
"Eh? Did ya? I just found out!",
"Me too." said my brother, interrupting,
"But..who was the fourth person, Anna?" sei asked interrupted the conversation of the three of them.
Anna looked towards Sei.
"The fourth man is not already here. The other one was listening secretly" Anna said. Anna glanced at Artoria.
"Th-that means...",
"Really! Artoria is his fourth wife" Anna said confidently.
Everyone's surprised. Artoria's face flushed and joined the conversation.
"And you yourself said that you were jealous of Tohka and Sei because they were close to Nakano right? That means you love her, right?" obviously Anna,
"A-a-ap-" —Artoria can't fight it because it's a fact. He held back his embarrassment and soaked himself so that his head only looked half of him.
"Isn't that dangerous?" tanya Tohka who was silent from earlier,
"No. That's fine. The more people who love Nakano, the better it will be" Anna said,
"Why could that be?" ask Sei,
"That's because it used to be Nakano Wynox and Nakano who are now both suffering. I don't want to see him suffer any more." Anna said,
"You're right!" my mom said excited. He stands.
"We must make all the universe change at all costs! It's a better place!" my mother said,
"You're right!" said My Brother —follow standing. The others stood up too.
"You're right." Said everyone who had just risen from his seat —one by one, including Artoria.
After a while of standing up, they soaked their bodies again. It's like they're forgetting something. They forgot about Arthories.
"By the way, about Arthories, what happened to her?" tanya Sei reminded the others,
"He's fine. He also got the right punishment" Anna said,
"What punishment?" ask Tohka, please,
"Ra-ha-si-a." said Anna who made the others curious, saying,
"You can find out soon." continued Anna.
I who was across the wall, more precisely the hot springs of men, heard their talk of my Happiness. I was there myself. But hearing Anna and the others want to make me happy, made me touched and happy. I smiled to myself there more sincerely than before and cried alone. I was lucky enough to be alone. Although I'm actually happy with them.
"By the way about Magicufer. How'this? He used to be an enemy of Nakano maybe he sent Nakano to the universe he lived in and finished him off..." Said Sei worriedly,
"It looks like he won't finish Nakano off" Anna said sternly,
"Why? How come?" ask Tohka, please,
"Either... But I'm hunching that it would be good for all of us to let Nakano and his adventure buddies to where Magicufer lives." explained Anna. Everything went silent —no ideas.
I heard about it. Of course it will worry my friends because Magicufer used to be very strong and more so against Nakano Wynox. I'll be ready before I go there. Maybe something bad will come up.
After a few minutes, all of us, including me, came out of the bath and went to get ready. Dinner time is coming soon. Me and the others met at the dinner table. The table was so long it was enough for all of us. My brother didn't come and he went back to the Ender End, because he had a job in his Universe.
Everything has gathered and delicious food is being brought here. We were all shocked, except for Anna, to see a young female servant and it was the Arthories. Women who always look handsome can be this beautiful. The maid's costume with golden hair and her face flushed red from embarrassment made her look very pretty. Me, Sei, and Tohka saw her amazed by her beauty, who would have thought that a person who looked handsome, decisive, and brave could be as beautiful and innocent as this?
Arthories came towards us, serving the food he brought from the kitchen.
"S-Beat enjoyed." he said with embarrassment. The food he brought looked delicious. He put food in front of us and we ate together. It tastes delicious.
Artoria looked at her mother who was a servant because it was her punishment.
"Why did you become a servant?" ask Artoria,
"That's because. anu." Arthories said with shame,
"Punishment?" artoria. Then Artoria recalled the time Anna said something about the punishment given to the Arthories.
Then me, my family, and my friends enjoyed our dinner like a real family.
Sei looked towards the Arthories who were on their way back to the kitchen. He then looked towards Artoria and a question appeared.
"Is Artoria not punished?" ask Sei,
"No" said Anna,
"Why?",
"That's because he told me he was going to be Nakano's travel companion.",
"Is that a punishment?",
"No. Artoria's punishment is to be honest with her feelings for Nakano and the reason that made her jealous.",
"It's light...",
"I don't mind that either." I interrupted. Sei then continued eating and became the calm atmosphere I dreamed of. After dinner, we went to our rooms and slept. Because tomorrow is the day of farewell and the day of departure for me and my friends, except Anna, to the Devilains universe and to meet Magicufer. I wonder why he is waiting for me. There must be a reason!
