Everything was normal again. Prota started to cling onto Frozen Milk more than ever, sparking the rivalry with Glimpse Water again. Holbe also got a lot more closer to Frozen Milk and Vil tried to occupy Frozen Milk for himself every night.
The mayor of the water capital came and both sides reached an agreement and signed the peace treatment. Everything went smooth, everything seemed perfect. There wasn't even a mention of the presence. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
It was the dreaded night-time again where Frozen Milk for the 1001st time again had to come up with an excuse to save his petty life from becoming a dominatrix.
Frozen Milk could still remember the one time he yielded to Vil and punished him with whips and cough other explicit stuff that should've not existed in this world but afterwards like any other night when Frozen Milk was caught, it was a struggle of trying to stop the villain from topping him.
It didn't make any sense at all! Vil was an M but why did he still insist on being a top? What didn't make even more sense was that Frozen Milk seemingly accepted the increasing sexual aspects in his life now!
Frozen Milk escaped his way into the garden after telling Vil he had to first get changed. Frozen Milk also didn't understand Vil's urge to relieve himself every single night. To clarify, Frozen Milk and Vil did not, will not, never ever have intercourse.
The only touching that happened was whenever Frozen Milk tried to push his domineering villain off him.
Frozen Milk sat on a bench and watched the moon. Saying it was a garden was a lie, everyone called the space outside the mansion but within the walls that surrounded the mansion a garden. Frozen Milk was basically between the trees on a platform.
"What a coincidence to meet you here, father," Glimpse Water nonchalantly sat next to Frozen Milk.
Frozen Milk rolled his eyes.
Glimpse Water noticed his cold behaviour and asked, "Do you hate me again? Ain't I look charming anymore?"
"What are you talking about?" Frozen Milk was visibly annoyed.
Glimpse Water dropped from the bench to his knees and dramatically shouted, "All my charm points!"
Frozen Milk had no idea what was going and continued to scold Glimpse Water. The latter was aggrieved to the point Frozen Milk sighed and patted Glimpse Water on the back. He indeed neglected his author for quite a while.
Between his 'apparent' favouritism for Prota, him humouring his new suitor Vil and the advantage of Holbe being a female beauty, Glimpse Water stood no chance. With eyes as sad as when Frozen Milk used to miscook his cup noodles, Glimpse Water turned to Frozen Milk to earn some empathy points.
Frozen Milk endured his urge to turn away and smiled at Glimpse Water. Glimpse Water instantly beamed and linked arms with Frozen Milk.
His tsundere author became more honest and wasn't afraid to show his feelings or was it infatuation with Frozen Milk? Frozen Milk was happy he wouldn't be met with those dishonest sentences anymore.
"Father, what can I do to earn back my charm points?"
There were various things Frozen Milk wanted to talk about:
First, don't call me father, it makes me feel old and unholy.
Second, I absolutely have no clue what nonsense you've been lately sprouting.
"I also have no idea," the conclusion Frozen Milk's battle of telling the truth or not was that he would just go along in hopes it'd stop.
"Father is there something worrying you?" Glimpse Water grew up to be so filial!
"I'm worried about how you manage to survive every day."
"That's so mean! Do you even see me as a man?"
This was the cue for Frozen Milk to be alarmed and keep distance yet Glimpse Water was quicker and stronger and pinned Frozen Milk onto the bench. Why did all his character love to have him as a bottom?
Hey, hey, he was proper top!
"Glimpse Water stop this. There's still time to st-"
"Shh," Glimpse Water closed in on Frozen Milk, "I wanted to be the first one to take father's lips."
Oh no no no, this turned into another incestuous situation. Frozen Milk could still hear the traumatic chants of Incessady.
"You're out of your mind, you bra-" Frozen Milk's angry voice turned into a moan as Glimpse Water nibbled on his neck.
"Father look at me. I ain't no brat but if you still wanna view me as one, go ahead. I'll destroy your expectation," as Glimpse Water said this Frozen Milk felt the bulge on his private area.
Another traumatic experience knew exactly what Glimpse Water was hinting on. Frozen Milk braced himself for more sensual attacks but didn't expect Glimpse Water's head to fall on his chest.
"I would appreciate it if you let your fingers off my husband, disciple," Holbe really hit Glimpse Water with the rim of her sword.
"Ow, you brute!" Glimpse Water jumped up and faced Holbe.
"We should settle this fight," those words actually came out of Holbe's mouth.
"Wait, wait! Let's be rational here and stop, ok? Ok?" Frozen Milk jumped between them but then another troublemaker came. Even though this was Frozen Milk's every day now, he didn't get used to it yet. He didn't want to!
"Frozen Milk!" Prota came running and hugged Frozen Milk. No one missed how Prota intensively smelled Frozen Milk's neck.
"Go away!" Frozen Milk was exasperated. He was really a puppy.
"Having fun without me?" his serene voice stopped everyone, "I'm sure you had an appointment with me, my Lord."
"I really wanted to change but yknow the mansion's so huge that I got lost which might not seem really credible, but it is! I swear! And then I somehow ventured outside and found myself here."
"Is that so?" Vil narrowed his eyes and Frozen Milk knew he once again had to pay for it. He spiralled down the long abyss of regret towards hell and hell was here.
This had nothing to do with his original story anymore. This legit turned into a harem!
"Nothing, I should sleep with my husband," Holbe approached Frozen Milk and her delicate fingers moved along his chest.
"There's no way!" Glimpse Water obstructed. Prota and Vil also vetoed against it.
"But I have to."
"You already had him for yourself when we lived at Canno's place," Prota knew about how Frozen Milk and Hole slept together while he bitterly endured ignoring Frozen Milk.
"Because I have to."
"What logic is that?"
Holbe exhaled and glared at them, "I'm the only one who can help him. I need to be constantly around him to protect him."
Everyone was perplexed. Holbe hit Frozen Milk lightly on the stomach, "The black threads you saw at the competition, I saw them already since we left the water capital inside Frozen Milk's body. I have been minimising them as much as I could to avoid an outbreak but because Frozen Milk was out of my reach at that time…. I couldn't help him."
"You knew about them?" Frozen Milk was shocked.
"Yea, I can see the tiny black mass inside your body. It has been tame for a while but now it's acting up again."
"Do you know what is?"
Holbe shook her head, "But I know it's dangerous. It's trying to kill you, isn't it?"
A heavy silence fell.
"That's not true, Frozen Milk, tell me," Prota grabbed him by the shoulders. He desperately needed an answer.
"What haven't you told us?" Glimpse Water was also alarmed.
They never heard of it yet Holbe knew of it….
"I'm sorry, I thought it was for the best…"
"The best?" Prota shook Frozen Milk, "Playing with your life like this is for the best? You should've asked us for help!"
No one said anything until Frozen Milk asked Holbe, "Will you control it?"
Holbe nodded.
"I don't understand, what's going on?" Vil raised his voice and was annoyed he was the only one left out.
"Frozen Milk you owe us an explanation," Prota let go of Frozen Milk.
"I will… tell you what I know tomorrow."
The light-hearted atmosphere turned sour as Frozen Milk and Holbe went away.
Just for tonight, they'd allow Holbe to win this battle.
