Chapter 117 Good Night.

Still afraid of what Sam might do to the two young Valkyries, Alice made a excuse to come and check what they were doing in the lab. Since she was expecting the worst it was quite the surprise for her when she found nothing disturbing when the door opened.

Sam was at his desk wearing a bulky virtual reality headset. His gloved hands were moving around in empty air and though she couldn't see his eyes she could tell that the expression he is making was that of extreme concentration and focus.

Alice couldn't help but sigh in relief. Seeing her lover putting everything he has into his job made her feel bad for having doubts about him. Though he had already cheated on her and Shizuru with two of the Valkyries she shouldn't have let it convince her that he would eventually do the same with last one. After all there is no way he's so messed up in the head that he would do anything sexual to someone who's clearly underage, or so she wanted to believe.

Miku and Zero Three had fallen asleep at some point with the blond one hugging the other and snuggling close to her. It was a very heartwarming sight, like two sisters who have met each other for the first time in a long while.

'Well, technically they're sisters...' Alice thought.

Though it doesn't seem they already know the two young Valkyries were a part of the same generation. Since all Valkyries are made by the same man it's reasonable to say that all of them are sisters, however those two have a much closer connection since they were created around the same time five years ago.

'As if it couldn't get any more messed up...'

Just the thought of her childhood friend and current lover having a sexual relationship with a girl who not only looks underage but is technically a five years old as well made her sick in her stomach, though she found that a little hypocritical since she okay with him sleeping with the other two despite hem being less than ten years old as well.

''... Hm?... co...mmader?''

As she was deep into her own thoughts Alice failed to notice the petite blond Valkyrie waking up.

''I see that the long trip left you quite exhausted.'' Alice said, doing her best to smile. ''Your room has already been prepared so how about you take a warm bath and get some rest?''

''... No...'' Miku answered after a long yawn. ''I'll wait till doctor is done...''

It was clear from the way she's struggling to keep her eyes open that she wouldn't be staying up for long and since it's already night Alice wanted to use that as an excuse to get her away from Sam.

Including Nana and Miku there were fifteen Valkyries among the soldiers who fled the headquarters. The Valkyrie residence has enough rooms to accommodate all of them and more so there is no problem on that end. Sadly the same can't be said about the humans which numbered a lot more. Keeping them under control was proving to be quite difficult and if not for Zero Five being there on Sam's orders the female soldiers would've had a much harder time sleeping. Not that they could anyway with how the world is right now.

After voicing her suggestion Alice had to wait for quite a while before she received a response. Sadly Miku had no intention on leaving Sam's side after finally getting to meet him again, unless she received an order from the man himself, of course.

''Miku, go get some rest.''

The voice startled Alice who had been too focused on the young Valkyries this entire time. When he didn't react to er arrival she tricked herself into believing that he has yet to notice her, however it seems that's not true at all.

''If you knew I was here then you should've said something.'' Alice said, feeling a little embarrassed for some reason.

''You didn't say anything so I did the same.'' Sam replied, pulling the VR headset up.

The two got into a brief staring contest before Sam admitted his defeat with a sigh and shifted his sight to the blond Valkyrie.

''Miku?''

''... What about you, Doctor?'' She asked.

''I still have some work to do. I don't think I'll be sleeping anytime soon.'' He answered.

''Then-''

''Zero Three is supposed to be on guard duty today.'' Sam interrupted her then sighed. ''Don't know what made her think she has permission to take a nap though.''

''... Doctor...''

After receiving such a firm response Miku could only look cast her eyes down in a show of sadness. Seeing that pained Sam so even though Alice was watching he decided to try and lift the petite Valkyrie's spirits.

''Alright you can join the rotation tomorrow.'' He said, scratching the back of his head in a show of annoyance. ''You'll get to spend the entire day by my side as my guard so go and get some rest for now, understand.''

Hearing his suggestion, Miku's expression brightened as her eyes began to sparkle. Alice shook her head with a disapproved look, but seeing how happy the Valkyrie was with his promise she couldn't bring herself to object.

''Alright then.'' Alice said, taking a step in the door's direction. ''I will show you the way so let's-''

As she turned around the white haired commander froze in her place watching as the young blond Valkyrie threw herself onto Sam was equally as surprised.

''Doctor, I love you!'' She said with a big smile before leaning in for a kiss, and though she was aiming for his mouth Sam quickly moved just in time and somehow managed to make it land on his cheek instead.

''Miku!''

''Ah! We aren't supposed to do it with other people around, right?''

As if the situation wasn't bad already Miku somehow managed to make it worse. Once again Sam found himself too scared to check Alice's reaction but did so anyway. Her face was blue as she looked his way with a shocked expression that changed into disgust in a matter of a second. He braced himself for the outburst that was about to come but when nothing happened after a short while he opened his eyes just to see her smiling at him.

'She's pissed!!!' Sam understood that very well the moment he saw that expression.

''Commander! Please forget everything that happened just now!'' Sadly the one who put his in that whole mess didn't seem to understand the severity of the situation as she innocently tried cover up her mistake.

''Hm? Forget everything that happened here?'' Alice spoke, the dangerous smile on her face still there. ''That might be a great idea.''

Miku who's oblivious to Alice's true feelings welcomed her response with a smile. Sam on the other hand knew very well how screwed he was right now.

''Alright! We have disrupted Doctor for far too long. Let's leave him to his work for now.''

''Understood.'' Miku said with a nod before walking over to Alice, turning around and smiling at Sam one more time. ''Good night, Doctor.''

''Y-yeah, g-good night...''

Sam couldn't help but laugh nervously as the two left the lab. Alice was giving him deathly looks till the very end and now that he's left alone he couldn't help but try and think of a way to save himself. Knowing his efforts were futile he heaved a long sigh and prepared to put on the VR headset hoping his white haired lover wouldn't bother him if she sees him work, but before he could he noticed the other person in the room looking his way with half closed eyes.

''You two sure are close, huh?'' Three asked. ''Did you know each other from before you started working here?''

At first Sam didn't know how to answer her question but after a couple of seconds he shook his head and smiled.

''No. We only met the other day when the general visited our base.''

''Hmm... that surely didn't look like it.'' Turning her gaze away from him, the young Valkyrie then added. ''You know, Five Won't be so happy when she hears that you are replacing her tomorrow.''

''Yeah, I can see that already.''

Though they end up stuck doing nothing while guarding him, Nine and Zero Five seemed to enjoy staying by his side for the entire day, especially the later. Nine on the other hand would always try to find the slightest opening in order to push him into doing lewd acts with her and she has bee getting really good at it with each attempt.

''I don't really understand.'' As she spoke, Three hopped off the bed and stood up. ''Nine, Five and now this one. Why are they all so obsessed with you?''

''Well...''

Sam struggled to answer, having noticed the slight blush on her cheeks. The young Valkyrie turned to face him, however when their eyes met she quickly averted hers, the red color slowly spreading across her face. After a long moment of silence she finally seemed to gather her courage.

''If... If being your personal Valkyrie means following only your orders, doesn't that make me one already?''
