Chapter 13 Massage

Chapter 13

Finish dinner, like always, Aika and Mayami clean the table and wash all the plate meanwhile Valir is ordered by Mayami to just rest in living room. She said that she will help him relax his muscle so he can recover faster. Well, of course it's a good news for him because regardless his condition, Orion will still force him to train his body. It's his request after all so he can't go back on his own word now, right? So here he is, sitting nicely in the living room all by himself while watching them washing the plates. Didn't take too long for Aika and Mayami to finish the chores, so Aika want to go back to her room to sort out all information she has gathered today, and make a conclusion from it, but Mayami force her to help with Valir's recovery, so she follow her mother reluctantly. For the record, Mayami is only massaging his body until his muscle all relax from the tension built up from training. Of course, this really make Valir feel very very comfortable so he fall asleep shortly after the massage begin. Knowing that he is sleeping, Mayami gently massaging all his muscle while explaining to Aika about what she is doing. At first, Aika didn't really pay attention to what her mother's said, but along with time, seeing the satisfying look on Valir's face caught Aika's interest. So she began listening to her mother's explanation and finally, cannot control the urge, she ask her mother to let her do the massage. Mayami still hesitating about it but when Aika repeat what she has explain before, she finally let her try. Note for you, Valir is wearing all his clothes :D And then that moment is come, when Aika's hand slowly approaching Valir's back, and the moment she start her massage....

Valir - OOOOOOOUUUUUUCCCCCHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

....the result is terrible. Feeling her power is right, she start massage his back, only to meet with his screaming. Along with him screaming, Aika scream too while increasing the power in her hand, resulted in Valir passed out. Finally, after he passed out, Mayami out from her shock, and start to sooth Aika until she calm down. After that, she look at Valir's body, and start to gently rub the spot where it hurt because of Aika. True enough, what she feel is his muscle have more tension than before, so she begin massaing him again while she chiding her daughter.

Mayami - Ai, what has kaa-san said before? Pay attention to your power.

Aika - Sorry, kaa-san, Ai is too nervous.

Mayami - *sigh* well, certainly the first time anyone started to learn how to massage, they will be confused about how much power to use. But they will certainly use less power, and increase the power when it's not enough. But, Ai chose to use full power on your first try. *sigh*.

Aika - I'm sorry, kaa-san. It wasn't Ai's intention.

Mayami - Kaa-san know about it of course. Good girl like Ai won't do it intentionally. But how can Ai become that strong?? *jiiiiiiii*

Aika - We-w-well, Ai isn't strong, maybe because his body is weak, so when Ai used more power, then it happen. Yes, that's the only reason.

Mayami - *jiiiiiiiiii*

Aika - (W-w-what should I do?? Kaa-san is getting suspicious about my power?? Should I tell her about my identity as Mage of Zetsuen?? Uuuhhhh)

Mayami - Well, that's seems right. Maybe just like Va-kun has said, his body is too weak, that's why Va-kun wanted to train his body.

Aika - *sigh of relief* W-w-well kaa-san, since Ai can't help kaa-san, now Ai will go to bedroom, okay?? Good night, kaa-san. *escape to her room*

Mayami - Wait, Ai.... Aaaahhh, I've just wanted to make her study more about massaging. Well, it's okay I guess. There's still a lot of time in the future for that. Now let's help Va-kun relax his muscle again. That massage earlier from Ai will surely make him afraid getting massage from Ai. Poor child.

While Mayami resume her massage, Aika in her room scolding herself for earlier incident. She start blaming herself for being too excited. Yes, she is lying about being nervous to her mother. She think her lie is effective, but in fact because Aika is her daughter, she knew Aika very well when she is lying or not. Deciding to let the matter go for now, she now collect herself again for her earlier purpose, that is to reveal the mystery about that person. First of all, she now know that the information from Valir can be manipulated already by that person. Let's call that person as X. X hypnotized Valir, and brought him to the forest. Of course, she believe Valir didn't know that he is getting hypnotized. And then, he believe all the illusion X showed and think of it as reality meanwhile he didn't know what he did at that time is only walking from the forest to the city. Now, sum it up that fact, she believe her where about as Mage of Zetsuen has been discovered by Kusaribe Clan, and they used Valir as a mean to spy her daily. Reaching this conclusion, she suddenly realized that this is not simple anymore because of Kusaribe Clan. While she is essentially needed, but Kusaribe clan still think Mage of Zetsuen as a dangerous element because of their ignorance. Now, how to close this case without alerting anyone, she started to brew some plan. Mostly is only to discover who has found her identity, and if can, negotiate with them by telling the truth. If they don't want to negotiate, then she is not afraid of fight. Mage of Zetsuen won't ever be beaten by Kusaribe clan after all.

Meanwhile, in another room, Mayami who has finished massaging Valir, put his body in his bedroom. She has done what she can do to help his muscle relax. And now after carrying him from living room, her job is done. Kissing his forhead, and wish for him a good night and nice dream, finally she get out from his room and slowly close the door and go to her own room.
