1116 She is missing me.
"Is it... done...?" Evane questioned with a shocked look on her face.
"Hmm? Do you not like it?" Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face as he hugged his wife from behind.
"No... I was just... shocked...
It has been so long..."
Evane spoke, a strange expression appearing on her face.
After all, this was only the second time she had met Nux since they were separated.
For her, it was only slightly more than 2 months, so it wasn't that big of a problem, but for Nux...
"It has been a long time indeed..."
Nux spoke as a relieved sigh escaped from his mouth... and as if to show how tired he was... his eyes closed as he rested his chin on Evane's shoulder.
Evane gently rubbed his cheek.
Nux's body relaxed even more.
He has stayed in this place for 178 years now.
The first 50 years were still bearable, at the very least, he could still meet his wives regularly, not to mention talking to them most of the time when he rested or even trained. Vyriana ordered him to not think about fighting, she didn't say he couldn't talk to his wives, now did she?
The next 128 years, however... weren't the same...
His wives went to another Dimension, the telepathic connection broke, and although they did come to visit it very often, that 'very often' was only very often for them.
For him, it was a decade.
In these 128 long years, he had only seen his wives 13 times.
This was the first time he had been separated from them for such a long time.
Nux, however, didn't complain because he knew that this was necessary.
He may be a needy husband but he knew he had to grow up.
Especially if he wanted to catch up to beings like Vyriana.
These years without his wives felt especially long, Evane knew that as well, actually, she was extremely worried about Nux and his mental state. After all, the last time they were separated for 50 years... Nux's change was... visible.
His condition right now...
The more Evane thought about it, the deeper her frown became.
"Nux..."
"Alright, let's not talk about this." Suddenly, Nux spoke up as he suddenly moved in front of Evane and pulled her close to him.
There was no reason to act weak here.
It was over.
There was no point thinking about it.
Thinking this, Nux moved his face even closer to Evane, placing his forehead on hers, the two closed their eyes, feeling each other's breath.
"Let's return."
Nux spoke.
"No."
Suddenly, Evane spoke up.
"Hmm?"
Nux frowned.
Evane then opened her eyes, then, she placed her hand on Nux's chest and, "If we go back now, I would need to share you with others..."
Even an angel like Evane was selfish as well.
"How greedy."
Nux smiled.
Teasing his wife.
Evane, however, did not blush. Rather, she walked forward, pushing Nux to the ground, then, as she laid on top of her, she looked into his eyes and,
"I am allowed to be greedy as well."
"Oh you are allowed to be anything, darling." Nux chuckled, Evane smiled as she sealed her husband's lips. Soon, it was the battle between tongues.
"...are you two purposefully ignoring me?"
And Vyriana, who was standing beside the couple couldn't take it anymore.
As she moved her hand, Evane's body flew away from Nux and fell on the ground. Nux wanted to save her from falling, however, a force descended on his body, freezing him on the spot.
"Hey! What are you doi-!?" Nux shouted as he complained, or that was what he wanted to do but suddenly, he lost control over his mouth as well.
"Act all lovey-dovey you want, but don't make me see this distasteful sight."
Vyriana ordered.
"I allowed you to talk to each other, however, that doesn't mean you should... start your thing without caring about your surroundings.
You are allowed to return here later, but for now,
Come to Veiled Eden with me."
Saying those words, Vyriana snapped and the three of them disappeared.
...
"Huh? Nux?"
"What happened?"
"Why is he like this?"
"Evane, explain the situation."
The women reacted as Nux, Vyriana, and Evane appeared in front of them. Lane had already rushed towards Nux who was lying on the floor, unmoving.
Vyriana closed her eyes as she waved her hand and Nux regained control over his body.
"Have you been training well?" Vyriana questioned, completely ignoring all the chaos around her as the women
surrounded Nux and helped him get up.
"...I imagined many situations of our reunion but this was definitely not one of them," Nux commented as he glanced at Vyriana.
All the wives turned towards the Dragon Woman as well.
"Don't look at me like that,
He was annoying me."
Vyriana's reply was short.
And the moment they heard it, the women instantly turned towards Evane who tried to avoid their eyes.
"Anyways, you girls still haven't answered my question, have you been training well?"
"Yes, Master." Astaria bowed her head.
Vyriana nodded, then,
"You have 15 minutes for your reunion."
Saying those words, she disappeared.
"..."
Everyone turned silent.
"What happened to her...?" Aisha
questioned, turning towards Nux.
"Is it not obvious? She is missing spending time with me already." Nux shrugged.
The women rolled their eyes.
Nux's charm was unreasonably strong, they agreed. However, the woman they were talking about was Vyriana.
There was no way she would be 'missing spending time with Nux', especially when their training had barely ended.
"Leave that aside, you aren't planning to leave, right?" Skyla questioned.
"Of course not. I have no plans like that."
Nux shook his head.
"Does that mean you are going to train with us now?" Astaria questioned but then, "No, he will not be training anymore. The next 5 years you are here, he will just be resting all that time."
Vyriana appeared again.
"Master... didn't you say you will return after 15 minutes...?"
Astaria questioned with a strange look on her face.
"15 minutes haven't passed yet? Must be because of the time difference." Vyriana shrugged.
The wives turned silent.
Was... was Nux correct...?
