Haruhime: ZZ...ZZ...ZZ...
Haruhime finally slept out of exhaustion and satisfaction. Her face still had a flush on it along with a smile. She was sleeping on Primis left arm while hugging him tightly. Primis was looking at the ceiling with his same indifferent expression. Even if Haruhime was satisfied, for him it was far for from enough. Though, he didn't mind much.
[You should better do it with Sheng Ming or Freya. Others can't handle you. But I prefer you do it with Ophis. She can handle your libido without any problem. And since she is your Empress, its normal for you to do it with her.]
Primis remained silent for some time before replying.
'Primis: I will think about Sheng Ming. I first thought of grabbing Freya but since my work keeps on piling up, I need to delay it. As for Ophis, it's still impossible. Currently, she is emotionless. Doing with her will feel like I am doing with a doll.'
[If you say so. Then, how about you add Ais Wallenstein while doing with Sheng Ming. It will be great threesome.]
'Primis: Maybe.'
Hearing Primis lukewarm response, Twilight didn't continue further.
'Primis: Now then.'
Primis gently remove Haruhime head from his arm and put a pillow under it. Then he also separated from her hold and tugged her into the quilt. Next, he got up from the bed and re-equipped his Midnight Coat and Elucidator. Loosing the warmth around her, Haruhime opened her tired eyes with difficult. She saw Primis back when he was doing re-equipping. She didn't ask anything and just said.
Haruhime: Husband...…take…care....
Primis glanced at her and leaned down. After giving her a light kiss on her lips and on her forehead, he disappeared leaving behind two words.
Primis: I will.
Haruhime gave a sweat smile at the place where Primis disappeared to and closed her eyes.

Ophis sensed something and turned her gaze towards Haruhime's room. Sheng Ming who was listening to Ais past also looked there and got up. Ais became confused when Sheng Ming stood up all of a sudden. Though, when she saw where she was looking, she understood and got up too.
Ais: Sister Sheng Ming, is Lord...…
Sheng Ming nodded and said.
Sheng Ming: Barrier is gone. So, Husband must be done and returning.
Ais: Ok.
And just like Sheng Ming said, in the next second, space rippled and Primis appeared. He looked at Time-Hourglass in his hand before sending it back to his inventory. Ophis returned to his shoulder and Primis turned to Ais.
Primis: It's time for your next magic control training. Let's go.
Ais nodded and approached him. Primis grabbed her waist and rose in the air. Ophis and Sheng Ming followed. Soon, they sped up towards a certain direction and left the Orario.

Soon, they reached deep forest which had a riverbank at the side. Once they landed, Primis let go of Ais.
Primis: Alright, Ais. Before we start the next training, you need to get rid of your fear of water.
Ais: !!!!!!!!!!
Ais shivered and hurriedly took some steps back in panic.
Ais: L-Lord, do you want m-me to jump into this d-deep river.
Primis: Yes.
Ais: C-Can't we change the l-location? L-Like somewhere where my feet c-could touch the g-ground.
Primis: No.
Ais: ...…
Ais became silent as her body was shaking in fear.
Ais: L-Lord----
Primis: Come here.
Ais: B-But-----
Primis: C.O.M.E H.E.R.E.
Hearing Primis stern voice, Ais trembled. She then walked step-by-step lightly towards him. Her body was shivering, and eyes had lost the light as if she was going for her death. Once she was in front of Primis, she stopped.
Primis: Raise your head.
Ais did as she was told. She looked at Primis with those lightless eyes of her.
Primis: Listen, Ais. If you herself don't wish to get rid of this fear of water, then no one can help you.
Hearing this, a bit of light return in Ais eyes.
Primis: So, what's your answer.
Ais: I...…I w-want to g-get rid...of my f-fear of w-w-w-water.
Even if her voice was trembling, she still gathered her courage to say those words.
Primis: Good.
Primis then walked towards river while Ais followed behind. Though, her body was still shivering slightly. Once they reached the edge, Primis spoke.
Primis: Take a deep breath and hold it in.
Ais: HAAA...…
Ais took a deep breath and hold it in just like told. Primis then threw Ais into the river.
SPLASH!!!!!
Ais: !!!!!!!!!!!!
Ais started to move her hands and feet in the river as she was drowning deeper. As she was about to release her breath.
{Primis: Ais.}
{Ais: ...…}
Ais didn't respond as she was trying hard to leave the water.
{Primis: Ais.}
{Ais: ......…}
Still no response.
{Primis: AIS WALLENSTEIN.}
Ais finally turned her attention to the voice in her head when Primis called her loudly.
{Primis: Don't open your mouth to response.}
Just as Ais was about to reply in her head, she reached the limit and released her breath.
Ais: GRUGGLE!!!!!!
As a result, water kept on entering her mouth as Ais became more and more afraid.
'Ais: I will die.'
Though Suddenly, an irresistible force pulled Ais upward and she soon left the river.
SPLASH!!!
Ais: *cough* *cough* *cough*
She started to cough violently to release all the water which entered her lungs.
Ais: *cough* *cough* I-I thought I w-was gonna d-die. *cough* *cough*.
She then looked at Primis who was also looking at her. There were still some tears at the corner of her eyes because of excessive cough.
Ais: L-Lord, I c-can't do it. I-It's impossible.
Primis: You can. This time instead of moving your hands and feet just let yourself be drowned.
Ais: !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Primis: Don't worry. In case something happens, I will take you out.
Ais: ......
Ais became silent. The she nodded with some difficultly.
Ais: O-Ok.
Primis: Good. Even if you were drowning deep, put all your concentration on holding your breath underwater. And listened to by my words in your mind.
Ais nodded again and jumped into the river herself this time.
SPLASH!!!!
She just kept on drowning deeper and deeper while trying her hardest to keep the fear at the bay. Although she was panicking inward, she still put her full trust on Primis, thinking he would save her if something happened.
{Primis: Now, try to move your body. Not hands or feet but your entire body.}
Ais did as she was told. At first, she thought it would be difficult but came out to be too easy.
{Primis: How is it?}
{Ais: I-It's not difficult b-but quite easy.}
{Primis: Right.}
{Ais: Mn.}
{Primis: Now change the position of your body from vertical to horizontal. With your face facing upward.}
Once she turned her body horizontal, the speed at which her body was drowning decreased. Soon it even stopped. Now she was laying in the middle of river neither drowning nor rising.
{Ais: L-Lord, I stopped?}
{Primis: Yes. When the position of your body is vertical then all your weight falls to your feet. Hence you will drown faster and deeper. However, if the position of body was horizonal then instead of one point, your weight spreads throughout your body. As a result, not only speed at which you are drowning decreased but also stopped at some time.}
{Ais: Stopped?}
{Primis: Yes. Water also has its own pressure. The deeper you go, the deeper the pressure. So, if your body weight is less than the water pressure, it will try to expel you.}
'Ais: Hmm. No wonder when Riveria threw me into the water she tied me with adamantite. Because the child weight is lot less than adult. In that case, water pressure would have sent me back to surface again.'
{Primis: Open your eyes. Slowly and slowly.}
Ais opened her eyes slowly, at first, she almost closed them when water touched them but then she opened them again realizing its not hurting her. Next, she witnessed a scene which made her open her mouth slightly in awe. Well, that was a wrong decision.
Ais: GRUGGLE!!!!!!

Primis: I told you not to open your mouth in water.
Ais: *cough* *cough*
Ais was coughing out the water which entered her lungs again. Primis hurriedly brought her out before more could enter.
Ais: *cough* My m-mistake *cough* *cough*
She coughed but there was light blush on her face because of embarrassment. Once she coughed out all the water, Primis spoke.
Primis: How was the scene?
Ais: I-it was beautiful.
Ais remembered the scene she witnessed again. At the very middle of the river when she opened her eyes, she was the entire reflection of moon. Its rays were penetrating deep into the water. Between the moon and her, she saw many fishes which were swimming. As the moon rays fell on their scales, it made the scene even more beautiful.
Primis smiled hearing her answer.
Primis: Good to hear that. Well, you won't get to see this scene every time.
Ais: Why?
Primis: Because all rivers are not as clean as this.
Ais: Do people dirty the rivers?
Ais asked. There was also a slight hint of anger in her voice.
Primis: You will know. Anyway, not all water is as clean as this. So, if you open your eyes in that water, it can hurt you. Assassins even use the colorless poison in water which can enter through your eyes. This water in clean so its fine but in other cases, make sure to cover your eyes with magic.
Ais: Mn.
Primis: Alright then. I plan to give magic control training to Lili and Haruhime tomorrow. Knowing them they will at most take 3-4 hours to complete all three parts of it. You will also do the third part of your training with them. Today, let's completely get rid of your fear of water.
Ais: Ok.
Then as if she remembered something, Ais asked.
Ais: But Lord, didn't you tell be that Magic Control training is divided into 5-parts. Now you are saying all 3-parts.
Primis: Yes. Lili and Haruhime can only do the first three parts of Magic control training. Last two parts are impossible for them.
Ais: Impossible. Even for them. Why?
Primis: Because other two parts required "Enhanced Mode". And "Enhanced Mode" could only be used with Compressed Magic. Currently, they can only use magic.
Ais: Oh.
Primis: Let's continue. For now, I want you to remain in water and get used to it. Once you will completely get used to it, I will teach you how you can swim, fight underwater, and so on.
Ais nodded and jumped into the river again.
SPLASH!!!!!
'Primis: It will take time.'
[Of course, it will. Trauma take days, months, and sometimes years to completely heal. Not few hours]
'Primis: I don't have that luxury of time. I will heal her trauma today.'
{Primis: Ophis, create a barrier around us and make the time run 100 times faster inside.}
{Ophis: Mn.}
SNAP!!!!!
Ophis snapped her fingers and spherical barrier with radius of 1 Km covered the area. Sheng Ming looked at the barrier around with shock.
'Sheng Ming: Amazing. I don't think even I could do this. The time laws are so compressed and profound that I can't understand them one bit. On top of that, Eldest Sister did it with just a snap of her finger. Truly, both Husband and Eldest Sister are really unfathomable.'
On the other hand, Primis nodded looking at barrier. Unlike Sheng Ming, he somewhat understood how Ophis did it, thanks to his Sharingan and Elemental Sight again. However, if he wanted to do the same, he needed to use a lot of his power.
'Primis: Anyway, now instead of few hours we have few hundred hours. It will be enough to get rid of Ais trauma.'
[Agreed.]
