Night Talk/Farewell

When I returned at home I saw mother at the pond and gestured me to come and sit down with her.

Saya: How is it son? Made your decision?

Vali: Mm. I'll go with father after graduation to further my studies. What about school there mother? Or do I go with home school?

Saya: Whatever suits you son. This is an advice to you Vali, don't always depend on your parents to make decisions, You need to step up and make them yourself and bear the results be it good or bad as both will make you grow up. I know your mentality is different from other people and treatment for you is different.

Vali: Mm. Thanks mother, I'll go with home school so I can practice more with father.

Saya: Now now what's all the glum come here hug your mother, you haven't hug your mother yet when you got home.

I hugged mother and she whispered something to me that made my brain stop working.

Saya: You're gonna be a brother Vali *smiles*

I stood there dazed and the screws on my brain detached themselves when I heard the news. It took me a while to regain my bearings as I saw father, he looked at me and guessed that mother has told me the news. I formulated a plan and teased mother, fufufu~ I still haven't settled the score with you mother for bullying me*smirk*

Vali: Since when?! Woah, father trains me till late night and he still got to do the deed?

I gave father a thumbs up and he smiled wryly while mother pinched my ear.

Saya: Heeeeeeeh~? got the nerve to tease your mother huuuuh? See how I'll rip your ear.

Mother dragged me in the kitchen while pulling my ear, this d*mn gorilla strength of my mother. Where'd she get it from?! I took the chance to run away after dinner and shouted at them.

Vali: IF ITS NOT A GIRL YOU'LL HAVE TO MAKE ONE AGAIN GOT IT?!

Mother glared at me and I immediately closed the door to avoid disaster, I was lost in thought while staring at the night sky when someone knocked on my door. When I opened it I saw mother and invited her in.

Vali: What is it mother?

mother gestured to come and sit beside her

Saya: Vali, how are you going to settle the matters you are leaving?

Vali lowered his head and was contemplating whether to tell her mother or not.

Saya: I know its hard Vali. I know, because I'm a mother. I know you better than your father and grandfather which always dotes on you but you need to break the news to them sooner or later. It'll hurt them but at least you showed them that you trust them by telling them instead of just leaving without a word.

Vali: Yes, mother. I don't know how to break the news to them because I'm afraid they'll hate me if I leave.

Saya: Ara ara my son has grown up to notice a girl's feeling? fufu~

Vali: Mooooom, I'm talking about serious matt-

Saya: How are you sure they'll hate you? You haven't even talked to them yet, how can you be so sure that they'll hate you?

Vali: ...

Saya: Vali, there will always be a time where you have to grit your teeth and endure. You care for them don't you? I don't mind you having 2 or more girls as its the privilege of the strong, your father can't have a mistress because I'm strong enough to keep him from eyeing other ladies out there maybe not in the cooking world, my strength lies in my business acuity and talent, I have stabilized my foothold and my reputation. Let me ask you, are you strong enough to handle the repercussions of having 2 Nakiri's by your side? Especially Erina as she has inherited the God Tongue from their bloodline?

Vali: ...

Saya: You don't. You see Vali, our family still have some secrets that you don't know that will put you in danger should you know it. One of them is we have the largest underworld syndicate that was created under my father's name and I'm the one handling them and someday you'll learn it too. Your father's family govern the light while my family govern the night. You should've understood what I mean right?

Vali: Un.

Saya: It's still early son but you need to learn it sooner or later. When you get back home from England, I will introduce you to the underground family that you'll inherit from me but first you need to tell Alice-chan and Erina-chan about your departure okay? I love you, Vali *smile*

Vali: Un.

*The next day after school*

*Phone call*

Vali: Alice? Can I talk with you in private? Bring Erina along with you please?

Albion:[Oya oya, Vali saying P-L-E-A-S-E. That's new. grahahahaha]

Vali: [Shut up old man!]

Alice: Fufun~ Okay, let's meet up after our classes. I can stay outside for as long as I want but for Erina there's a limit okay? Uncle Azami will teach her again today

Vali: *Sigh* Sure, I'll make it quick

Alice: Ara ara, how quick? fufun~

Vali: *Tick marks* Shut up and bring Erina later. Bye

Alice: Bye~

We met at a nearby cafe at home, honestly I'm really d*mn nervous, my knees are shaking, my palms are sweaty...(Mom's spaghetti >:) ) that I didn't notice Alice and Erina have come.

Alice: Vaaaaaaaaaaaali~! Your beautiful lady is heeeere~

Erina: ...

Vali: ...

Albion: ...

Vali: [Rly nigg*h?]

I regained my bearings and screwed it back tight, it happened once already when mother told me that I'm gonna be a big brother. *Sigh* Looks like I need to buy new screws for my brain. I raised my arm and waved at them so that they'll notice me.

Vali: Alice-chan, Erina-chan, come. Sit.

Alice noticing that my face is serious and trembling took notice of it and calmed down.

Vali: Alice-chan, Erina-chan. You see, uhm... you know.. I have something to tell you.

Alice: What is it Vali-chan? Is it something serious?

Vali: Un. You see... I am leaving Japan for a few years to train in the main branch in England... I hope you'll forgive me for not visiting you in the next few years or so.

I lowered my head and I was expecting a harsh

return but...

Erina: Hmpf *pout* just leaving for a few years... I can wait *blush*

The last words she said was barely audible that maybe only Albion can hear but decided to keep quiet.

Alice: Now now, it's only leaving Japan. It's only a few years, it's not like you'll be gone forever right? Besides, I'm leaving for Scandinavia too, to stay with father for a few years as well, maybe come back when its time for high-school enrollment.

Vali teared up as he looked at the two of them, one with a playful but stern attitude and another being tsundere.

Vali: *pfft* HAHAHAHA Thanks *smile*

Alice: Buuuuuuut~

Vali: What?

Alice: Don't pick up girls over there okay? You have 2 of us already? Don't cause trouble 'kay?

Vali's sweat run cold when he looked at alice that is smiling at him but the demon on her back is gazing at him and he could only nod in acceptance.

Erina: *blush* hmpf what do you mean 2? I haven't accepted you yet... but if you asked me to.. then.. I'll accept it.

Once again the latter part was barely audible that only Albion can hear.

Vali: Y-yeah. I'm gonna go back to you guys, I promise *pinky promise*

Alice: Pinky promise? That's ooooold~ kiss me in the cheek if you really promise to.

Vali: Does it really have to be a kiss in the cheek?

Alice: What? You want the lips too?! *GASP* Taking advantage of us huh~?

Vali and Erina: Eh? What? Alice what did you say?

Alice: Moooou I'm jealous, look at you two, you retorted at the same time as well. What are you husband and wife? Fufun~

Vali: Fine, I give up *arm raise*

I leaned and kissed Alice in the cheeks and did the same to Erina whose face was blowing up steam and covered her face.

Vali: I-I'll go first, I need to fix my luggage.

Alice: 'Kaaaaaay~

I got home and saw mother at the entrance gate grinning at me and noticed something at her hands... and at that moment Vali knew... He f*cked up. He saw her mother holding a recorder...

Saya: Ara ara... look at my son being a lady's man. Fufufufu~ *click*

Vali: 'I hope you'll forgive me for not visiting you for the next few years...'

Vali: ...

Saya: Ara ara there's a kiss in the cheek too? Wow my son is great at picking up girls~

Vali: *Fuming at embarassment*

Vali calmed down and looked at mother in her eyes and Saya also knew... She f*cked up

Saya: Ara~ look at the time, let's go inside and have dinner

Vali spoke with normal and low tone voice but to Saya its like an Ogre staring at her

Vali: *RAGE MODE ACTIVATED* Mom~? Would you please give that recorder back to me~?

Saya: *sweating* [D*mn, my son really inherited his Pendragon bloodline and inherited my playfulness as well... looks like his harsh tongue is not active yet... if he inherited that as well... ] *shivers* H-Here you go, Vali... C-come lets go inside or the diner will be cold.

Vali: *Sinister Smile* Thanks Mom, you can go ahead, I'll follow you inside give me a minute.

And all sounds of booming and shaking sounds can be heard in the house. Even gunshots can be heard from outside.
