Chapter 494: I Couldn’t Resist My Desires
As a result of receiving Chris’s tackle, I ended up with injuries that would take about fifteen minutes to fully heal. The power of the medical pod is incredible, isn’t it? Dr. Shouko told me that if I had relied on natural healing, it would have taken at least three to four weeks to heal completely. When I asked if that meant that I had broken a bone, she responded with a vague smile.
「Chris, make sure you have perfect control over your enhanced body before you get married. Don’t slack off on your control training, okay?」
「Yes...」
When I moved from the Black Lotus’s medical room to the lounge area, Chris was getting a lecture from Elma. It was no surprise. Even if she had a reason like being busy, skipping daily training and ending up injuring someone is a serious matter. I’m willing to forgive her, though.
「You are still in your growth phase, Chris-kun. Even if you think you are used to your enhancements, your control can slip because of the fast growth of your body. Make sure you train diligently every day, alright? Otherwise, on your wedding night, you might accidentally snap Hiro’s ribs, spine, or hip bones.」
「That sounds terrifying.」
「It happens sometimes. There are stories about noble ladies who aren’t usually physically active breaking a few of their husband’s bones on their wedding night. Serena, being a soldier, probably didn’t have that problem since she trains regularly.」
Dr. Shouko, who had come with me from the medical room, gave Chris a warning, and Elma started telling a scary story after hearing that warning. Wait, isn’t the husband in that story a noble with a reinforced body, too? If even nobles with enhanced bodies end up breaking a few bones, doesn’t that mean someone like me, who doesn’t have any enhancements, would be in even worse shape?
Come to think of it, nobles with enhanced bodies can exhibit strength comparable to or just a little weaker than power armor. If someone used that kind of strength on me while having sex, my bones would definitely get crushed.
「Chris, work hard on your training, okay?」
「Yes...」
Chris, who had been full of energy after finally getting a break from work, now looked like a wilted leaf. She seemed really downcast. Well, if you hurt someone due to your own carelessness, I guess that’s how you’d end up feeling.
「It did hurt, but I’m all healed now, so no problem. Since Chris apologized, let’s consider this matter closed. Sound good?」
「If Hiro says so, then I’m fine with it. How about you, Mimi?」
「Of course!」
With a smile, Mimi hugged the dejected Chris. Yeah, yeah, it’s nice to see everyone getting along.
「Alright, we’re done with Chris’s thing. So, where we hangin’ out? Got any ideas?」
