Chapter 216 Surely It's Not...



Once the door closed behind Sam and Ichigo, the other Valkyries stood there in silence for a few seconds. It was Zero Three who came back to her senses first. She turned to face the others, clapping her hands once as she spoke with a smile.

"Alright then! I guess we're free to relax until it's time for departure." She said. "There is no need to linger around here so... everyone's dismissed!"

The others stared at her for a while, their eyes half open. Faced with such looks the young Valkyrie couldn't help but take a step back.

"W-what!? Why are you looking at me like that?"ηoveluSB.coM

"Well, personally, I don't like how you keep talking as if you're our superior." Triska said with a sigh, twirling a few strands of her dark blue hair around her fingers.

"I mean, we know you're Doctor's personal Valkyrie and all." Venti added with a wry smile. "But that just means you're his bodyguard, right? What makes you think you have the right to order us around?"

"I... I wasn't ordering you around!" Zero Three shot back. "I just saw you standing there and thought I should say something!"

"We were going to go even if you didn't tell us." Venti remarked, her expression growing serious.

"Hey now..." Juni stepped between the two, trying to defuse the situation. "There is nothing t fight over, okay? Let's put it all aside and go enjoy ourselves a little!"

"I will go keep watch outside." Saying that, Trenta teleported away, not wanting to be part of their little argument.

Venti turned her eyes to the short haired tomboy, a hint of annoyance making it into her complexion.

"Don't let me begin with you too." She said. "You want to have sex with him? Do you even know what you're asking for?"

Juni recoiled, her cheeks gradually reddening.

"O-of course I do! I watched that movie as well!" She turned her eyes to Three and went on. "Three and Nine said it feels really good so I just wanted to give it a try!"

"You clearly have no idea what you're talking about." Triska said. "If you did, you would at least feel a little embarrassed when talking about it."

Feeling a little offended, Juni puffed her cheeks as she glared at Triska.

"Well, it's not like you know much yourself. You haven't done it yet, have you?"

"Of course not! Unlike you, I'm not eager to let that human have his way with me!"

Zero Three's eyes suddenly lowered into a sharp glare, and so were Nino's. The air around them became chillingly cold, and the other three seemed to notice.

"'That humans'?" Three said, her voice calm and cold. "Who could it be that you're referring to by that?"

"Surely it's not Doctor, is it?" Nino, having kept her silence so far, turned to glare at her fellow Valkyrie.

Seeing the dangerous glint in their eyes, Triska felt that her life was in danger. She didn't understand why, but something told her that what she said was way out of line.

It wasn't unusual for Valkyries to have disagreements, but for one to escalate to the point of igniting murderous intent, she knew she was in for a lot of trouble if she didn't apologize right away.I think you should take a look at

"The Doctor is a very important person to us." Said Zero Three. "Without him, many of us wouldn't be standing here."

"You aren't eager about him having his way with you?" Nino followed. "You should consider yourself lucky if he decides to."

"If Doctor says that he wants to have you, your only response should be that you're glad to be his partner." Said Zero Three. "Well, you don't have to worry. Once you experience the pleasure of being with Doctor, you will be begging him to have you again as soon as possible."

The way Triska spoke was indeed disrespectful, but seeing the two react so strongly to it showed that any transgression toward the Doctor wouldn't be tolerated. Venti backed away wishing to avoid being the target of those looks. Juni as well. She didn't know that things could get this serious when it came to the Doctor, but now she understood that his personal Valkyries held him in high regard and wouldn't allow anyone to try and belittle him.

"Alright! I get it already!" Triska snapped. "I will apologize, okay? All I did was call him a human! Was it so wrong of me to do that!?"

"Yes." Three responded, her gaze growing colder. "It's true that he was once human, but even then his position as our savior was already solidified. You're able to think the way you do because you only got to meet him after the war ended. You don't know how much he had risked to ensure we had a chance at winning the war. You don't know how much he had lost..."

Three's expression seemed to become somber with each word she said. She remembered the battle inside Hela's obsidian palace, how Shizuru had betrayed them, and how Sam had almost lost his life in her hand.

She noticed that, Whenever they talked about what happened that day, he always seemed to hide his true thoughts and feelings, only speaking of how grateful he was for how she saved him. She understood that what Shizuru did had left him with a much bigger scar than what he let on. Then there was the disappearance of their old commander, Alice Schneider.

The young Valkyrie knew the commander and the Doctor had a special relationship, but it was only when she asked Elina about it did she understand the true extent of his feelings for the white haired woman. The hole she left in his heart was too deep, and no Valkyrie could hope to fill it no matter how much she tries.

When she learned of this fact, Three felt a sense of defeat. Though she was his personal Valkyrie, nothing she does could ever mend the wounds that day had left on him. But she wasn't about to give up. Her feelings for him didn't change, and her desire to help him only grew as time passed. She even learned to suppress her jealousy and allowed other Valkyries to enjoy his embrace. Even though she wished she was the one in the shower with him right now, she was content knowing he was enjoying his time with someone he chose himself.

Feeling an itch in her eyes, Three quickly walked away. The others didn't say anything, remaining silent until she was out of sight.

"Triska, you seem to have a better understanding of humans than most of us." Nino said, turning to look at her after a second. "You should know how much Three wants to monopolize the Doctor's attention, but she's suppressing her feelings and allowing us to have a chance."

"..."

"No matter how you feel, never speak ill of him in front of anyone. Three might not be our superior, but the Doctor is. This time it ended with just a few words. I won't guarantee it'll be the same next time."

Though she didn't feel anything special toward him before, a lot of things changed ever since they arrived in this world. Nino was going through a lot herself, but what saved her from breaking was knowing that the Doctor was looking after her. If he didn't say anything back then, she probably would've been halfway across the world by now, recklessly attempting to get revenge for what happened to B3 and JX9.

Having nothing more to say, Nino turned away from the other Valkyries and left.

Juni, Venti and Triska, all three of them were left in that hallway completely speechless. After a while, the one with the green braid looked down, her round glasses turning white as they reflected some light.

"Sex is scary..." she said.

The other two nodded in agreement.

Unlike Zero Three, none of them knew the Doctor that well. They didn't understand what was so special about him, but when they noticed that each time a Valkyrie has a sexual encounter with him she suddenly starts acting strange, they realized that the wand between his legs must truly be magical.

"I will definitely get him to do it with me..." Juni said in a low voice, her fists clutched with determination.

The other two could only nod at her statement.
