Weeks have past, Scarlett regained her habit of knitting. Well at least, she could do something to kill boredom. The four maids have talents in cleaning, so they finished cleaning the entire mansion in just two hours. Right after, their Madam knitting, caught their eye. The four of them sat beside her and watched her excellent knitting abilities.
In just an hour, she finished a scarf, "Hey! Do you want to get it from Master? Quit swarming the Madam! " said Kurfürst
"No, no! Let them! I'm fine! "
The four maids blew raspberries at Kurfürst like children. Truth be told, they are younger than Scarlett. Their ages play from twenty to twenty-three.
It was Sunday, so Peter was staying home, but he was still in bed. He worked overtime last night, so he was tired. Scarlett ate a healthy breakfast alone so she was quite unhappy, so she just knitted her loneliness.
Peter woke up just after lunch was finished. Kurfürst was the one who cooked, since the four maids was told to learn knitting from the Madam. He went down the stairs, and saw his beloved wifey teaching the maids to knit.
Just as the four started to learn, they felt the room's temperature drop. They turned their heads, and scampered away in fear, "Eh? Huh? Where you going? "
She looked up, and saw her husband's unhappy face, "I want to learn too... " he said
Scarlett immediately get it, "Jealous? " Peter just stared at her. Haha, excellent mind-reading skills, Scarlett! "Let's eat. I'm hungry now! " she pouted
Things like this, can be usually be found here at Müller household during Sundays. A loving husband getting jealous over his wife's attention. But what's unusual, was the occasional appearance of Peter's past self. He showed himself to Peter twice this week, bugging him in his work. Today was the third
"Hey, how about invading New York? I've fixed the Stalvormund. He's in best combat shape! "
"Fuck off will ya?! For the I-don't-know-how-many times I told you, I have nothing to do with you! "
"C'mon, it'll be fun! " this was what he would do, every time he would appear. But one day.
While having trouble with putting his tie on, Scarlett offered to help him with it, "There! All set! " but then she saw a figure behind her husband. They were in the living room, so she naturally thought it was one of the maids, or it was Kurfürst.
But when she looked at it, she froze, "Dear? Dear? " Peter called out. When he looked the same direction, he immediately posed a defensive stance protecting his wife, "What are you doing here?! "
"Doing 'our' job, what else? "
"Scarlett, hide! " she ran towards a nearest room, and locked herself inside along with the four maids protecting her
Gustav and Kurfürst heard their master's loud voice and came to investigate. Them they found a strange someone, looking like Peter. Bruh... It is Peter.
They went on the offensive and attacked "Peter's past self". But like the same Peter, he was an elite hand-to-hand combat fighter. He broke Kurfürst's right leg, and kicked him aside. He threw an uppercut at Gustav, knocking him out in an instant.
"You know, I really don't like to hurt you since your me but... " before he could finish his sentence, he threw a straight at Peter. In response he blocked it, but the impact caused him to pushed back. Peter's body hit the door of room where Scarlett was hiding. It bursted open, and he was thrown on the ground.
"Darling! "
"Get back! "
The "past self" went inside as well, "Hahahaha! " he laughed maniacally. Then he picked Peter up from the ground, strangling him
"Let go of him! " Scarlett tried to removed his hand off, but he shoved her aside. Lucky, the maids caught her.
"Scarlett! Get out of here! " she didn't listen, but tried again to help him. Even with the maids helping out too, there were no match for "Peter's past self's" strength.
Scarlett threw whatever her hands touches. There were inside the same room where Peter kept his war stuff. Scarlett threw helmets, satchels, and anything heavy enough to make him drop her husband.
Alas, the only one left, was the black trenchcoat same as the "past self" was wearing. Scarlett threw it at him, but something fell off from it. Peter noticed that his past self reacted to it. The Iron Cross attached to it fell on the ground.
Scarlett also noticed the "past self's" reaction. She picked it up and thought of something to do with it. Just as she held it, the "past self" let go of Peter and walked towards her, "Stay back, or I'll destroy this! "
"Try... " he was about to touch her, when Peter pinned him on the ground
"Scarlett...! Destroy it! " he yelled
She thought of how to, but nothing came to her mind. It was out of steel, so it couldn't be crushed by hand. The guns displayed in the room have no ammo. Just then, one of the maids handed her a two-bladed sword, "Madam! " hey, where did Peter got that?
Scarlett threw it on the ground and swung the sword and even with all of her strength, she only managed to make a mark on the medal. As she was about to make another blow, Peter stopped her, "Enough... "
"Eh? "
Peter felt no more resistance. His "past self was still alive, yet he have no more strength. The blade of the sword managed to cut through the steel medal. Peter stood up and and checked Scarlett.
The "past self" flipped his body to the other side, gasping for breath. There was a huge cut on his chest, similar to the cut and direction made to the Iron Cross medal.
"It's over... " Peter said. He took the Iron Cross from Scarlett and, using his own monster strength, he crushed the medal with bare hands
"Noo...! " then the "past self slowly vanished
The room became quiet. Them a while later, the four maids cried loudly, "Waaahhh! So scary! " Scarlett rushed to calm them down
Then suddenly, Peter remembered Gustav and Kurfürst, "I'm just gonna take these two to the hospital. " he said to Scarlett, helping the other two walk.
"Mmm! Take care! "
He shoved the two guys inside the car, "Sigh... Can't you two get any stronger? I mean, it's just my past self, and you can't win over him combined? "
"Damn you! You're a freaking monster! " they cursed inside
Peter had them treated in the emergency room, and after finishing, "Drive yourselves home. There's still something I gotta do. " then he tossed over the car keys
"Huh?! How are we supposed to drive? "
"Use your airheads! "
Peter went to Otto's house, and told him about what happened, "I see... Well, I don't think he'll appear again. Anyways, you mentioned Gustav and Kurfürst, right? "
"Yeah, you can still beat them up right now, that they're partially disabled. "
"No. I feel like, burying them alive! "
"Good point. "
After a moment of silence, "Anyways, you should find yourself a wife, you know. You're the chief executive officer of Lindemman corporations, and still you're single. Your the only single bachelor among us. "
"Nah. Ryker's still single"
"Ryker's got a girlfriend. I saw just now. "
"Damn that traitor...! "
Peter stood up, "Please reconsider what I said. " then he turned around and left
"Going already? "
"Yep. Wifey's waiting for me at home. "
When he arrived, The sweet smell of food went past his nose, "What's cooking? "
"Oh! Your home, Darling! " said Scarlett from the kitchen
"Eh? Why are you the one cooking? "
"Can't I?! " she angrily asked
"N-No... Not at all, haha! ' Peter was still the type to get scared over his wife's wrath
After dinner, Peter took a shower. Scarlett went back to the living room, and started knitting again. With her four "students", the atmosphere became lively. Minutes later, there was a knock on the door. A maid opened it and saw Gustav and Kurfürst.
"We're back...! " said the two covered in bandages. One with a broken leg, the other a broken arm
"Welcome home, you two! " Scarlett greeted. Scarlett was one of those kind-hearted masters, that you would even put your life on the line, just to serve her. In contrast, their other master was the kind that you would rather kill yourself than serve him!
After everything, Scarlett was worn out. After Peter, she went to the shower as well, and changed to her robe. She went back to the bedroom, where Peter was waiting, reading a book, "What'cha reading? " she asked out of nowhere
"Nothing... " Scarlett have no intention of knowing, but her eyes came across the cover of the book: "How to be a Good Father"
"Hahahaha! Someone's excited! "
"N-No! That's not it! I... "
"Haha... What would you prefer? A boy or a girl? " she asked as she laid down beside Peter
"It doesn't matter, as long as you're the mother. " he kissed her a good night kiss, and went to sleep
