The Promise of Tomorrow

Chapter 53

"Owowowowow!" Y/n could be heard yelping in the infirmary as Origami was treating his injuries using Camael. "Hold still. I won't be able to heal you properly if you keep squirming like that," she ordered while tending to his wounds while keeping a firm grip on his arm. "Heh, looks like you're being reprimanded for your actions," Kaguya poked fun of Y/n in a friendly manner while she and Yuzuru were also resting in separate beds.

"Oh screw you, if you got a reasonable partner, they'd also reprimand you for your stupid shit," Y/n growled as Origami was finished healing him. "I'd have your powers drained to the point you can't use them. However, since I have enough self control to stop myself from hitting you," Origami spoke in a deathly tone, harboring killing intent just enough to scare the Twins.

"Now, now, I still had some faults here and there. I'm the one who fucked up my body the most due to lack of Reiryoku control," Y/n admitted his own fault, trying to bring back Origami's attention to him out of fear that Origami may lash out at the two. "You're covering up for them, that's not excusable," Origami stated coldly as she looked at him with a seemingly blank stare. "Besides, did you really think I'd hurt them? Well, not without your permission, I won't," she added, wanting to scare the Twins more.

"Must be nice to have a concerned lover. I bet your nights are not that lonely," Kaguya mused with a little jest on her tone. "Well, where's your dear prince then?" Y/n asked to return fire the teasing. "Well, he's with Reine and his dad alongside your uncle. Besides, please forget I said about anything wanting to be cool in front of him," Kaguya requested and Origami chuckled at that statement. 

"Hey, it isn't funny you know?" Kaguya whined, and Origami simply apologized, saying, "No... It's not that I am insulting you. It's just that we are reminded of my days when I used to impress him. The way he used to admire me when I act cool looks so cute, so I don't blame you if you want to do the same."

"However, impressing him isn't the only thing that matters. It also should matter if your feelings are genuine for him or not. The reason why we stuck together for years is because our love for each other is genuine. So I ask you, Kaguya,

What do you really feel about Johannes?"

The heavy question made Kaguya think for a bit. Y/n observed her for a bit and snorted. "Well, you don't need to answer me right now. Give it some time," he advised Kaguya in an understanding tone. Yuzuru looked at Y/n with little smile on her face, and blankly stated, "Compliment. Y/n would be a good dad in the future."

"Agreed. He's very understandable and caring, I wish to carry-"

"Hold it right there, young lady! You're not finishing that sentence!" Y/n stopped Origami from blurting out any perverse stuff from her mouth, placing his delicate hands over her mouth. Just in time, Johannes had arrived alongside Ryo and Jakob. "Sorry if I took so long, we have made some research on what room of improvement all of us can make. For that end, I may need to be as blunt as possible with you three," Johannes announced and gave his attention to the twins.

"First of all, I would like to commemorate you two for a job well done. However, your coordination for some part can be...lacking," Johannes evaluated the twins and looked at Kaguya. "For the most part, Kaguya was very aggressive on her part. Although you are capable of handling yourself on your own, you were very reckless and let your guard down for most part. If I remember, Y/n pointed out that you did just that when you two chatted for a while," Johannes made his remark to Kaguya however, the latter had a spacey look. Although she was listening intently, she was focused on his voice and how his body carried out a professional look.
