"Phew. Fortunately, that worked. Would have been awkward if it didn't..." Muku spoke in relief.
"You know I'm still waiting, right?" Mrs C's slightly annoyed voice was heard.
"Oh, right. Sorry mother. Let go outside and we can talk" Muku who has forgotten about his mother rushed outside.
.....
Outside the fortress where most of the inhabitants were unconscious on the ground...
"Greetings mother. How have you been?" Muku spoke after going out.
"Ew. Why are you speaking like that? Anyway, I'm good. Let's get to the point, as we normally do. I got used to it, so it creeps out when you're respectful" Mrs C spoke in a disgusted voice.
"... Fine. You were telling about Lisa. What's wrong with her?" Muku remained quiet for a bit while cursing his mother internally.
What does the old lady want from him? When he behaves normally she says he's disrespectful. Yet when he is respectful, she says he's creeping her out.
But he needed answers so he couldn't say it out loud lest she refuse. Fortunately, she shouldn't be able to read minds through the phone.
"There's no need to rush. Let's first talk about your first wife Audrey. I didn't expect her to be so talented in the Force Technique. Even the technique's creator might not be much better than her. And I'd like to comnd you for making the right decision back then. If she had missed that chance. It might have never co again. Tell her to keep practising and eventually, she should be able to take care of even the strongest R6s with just her Force. As for how long that will take. I'm not sure. It will all depend on her effort and luck" Mrs C first praised Audrey.
"Really?! She's that impressive? Well, as expected if my wife. And I'll tell her exactly that... But what about ? Will I not be able to do the sa eventually? Also, why are you surprised? Don't you already know everyone's futures?" Muku asked.
"Tsk. What a narcissist. Even when you're praising soone else. You have to involve yourself in the conversation huh? Well, whatever, I'll humour you since you're my son. Firstly, while you'll also reach that stage of defeating R6s with force alone. You won't be able to reach it as quickly as she will nor will you achieve the state she can. You might have miraculously managed to improve to the point of defeating weak R5s with it. But I can promise you that getting to the next stage won't be so easy. I estimate that you won't reach it for at least five more years. Maybe three if you're lucky. As for knowing everyone's futures... I an, technically, I could look into them if I wanted to. Hell, I could even travel to them. But right now, I don't have the ti or strength for that. And who wants to live a life of always knowing everything?! That sounds so dull. I for one don't want it. And the future isn't set in stone, so even if I did look into it. It could go in the opposite direction of what I saw, so why bother? At most, I would look a few days ahead and even that is only when I need to. Anyway, can we move on if I have made things clear to you?" Mrs C replied.
"Sure... Are you going to tell about Lisa now?" Muku asked.
"No need to rush. Aren't you going to ask about Jade's dreams, the exact date of when the next evolution will co, or maybe the truthfulness of Tracy's claims? Or maybe, the origin of the armour you can't completely take off?" Mrs C redirected the conversation again.
"Well... Now that you ntioned it. I wouldn't mind knowing all that. But how are you so well inford? Didn't you say you weren't spying on us?!" Muku asked.
"Hehe. That's correct. I'm not spying on you. But that's only because I don't need to. Reading your mories is enough after all. And don't worry, mommy respects your privacy, so I didn't look through those intimate ones" Mrs C practically boasted about looking through Muku's mories.
"You old thing! How dare you say you respect my privacy while looking through over ninety percent of my mories without permission?!" Muku exploded.
"Wha?! You disrespectful child! How dare you curse your mother like that?! You're lucky I can't co there right now or I'd give you a spanking like you do those girls! Hmph! But just for that, I won't tell you anything about the things I ntioned before. I'll only tell you about Lisa and that's it!" Mrs C exploded back.
"What the hell! You set up! You didn't want to tell anything in the first place! You probably looked into the future and saw that I asked about those things. So you brought them up first and twisted the conversation in a way you wouldn't have to tell anything!" Muku replied angrily.
"Hehe. What an active imagination you have there. But you're not wrong. If I told you everything, things wouldn't be as fun. But even then, you did curse when you could've controlled yourself. And disrespecting your mother is never acceptable unless she did sothing truly bad but I only changed the future a little bit. In fact, I just refused to help for your own growth so a punishnt is definitely in order" Mrs C defended herself smugly.
Muku couldn't see her, but he could clearly imagine the smug expression on her face as she spoke. After all, he had no way of retorting.
Whatever reasons he can co up with, she can easily debunk them by simply saying, "You cursed , your mother".
So yeah, he could only suck it up and take what she was offering lest hwade things worse for himself.
"You're right. I'm sorry Mother. I will try my best to make sure that it never happens again. So if you will, can you tell what's wrong with Lisa?" Muku spoke as he did his best to control himself.
"Now that's how a proper child sounds. Anyway, there's no need to rush" Mrs C redirected the conversation again and Muku almost exploded again.
Why couldn't she just say what she wanted to say instead of leading him on then saying that annoying line?!
It wasn't annoying at first. But after hearing it a few tis, it was rather hard not to be annoyed, especially after what happened.
However, he would not let himself explode again. It was clear to him that she was ssing with him and he refused to be so easily ruffled. Honestly, the ti away from her seems to have weakened his resistance to her playfulness.
"No, it's not that your resistance has been weakened. Oh, and yeah, I can still read your mind even if it's through a phone call. Aren't I just the best? Anyway, let's talk about you and your bloodline first. When was the last ti you tried understanding it more?... Don't answer that. I already know that it was over two years ago since you couldn't exactly ss with it in the Beast World and you have been busy since you got back. Anyway, you might not have noticed it. But it's affecting you more and more as ti passes by. Right now, the only symptom I've seen is that it has made you rather impulsive when sufficiently stimulated. A perfect example of this is your scandalous encounter with that Lisa girl. You, in your normal state are rather lustful already. But that has always been limited to the ones you love. But with your bloodline in the mix..." Mrs C paused as she let Muku digest what she had said so far.
"So you're saying that my reaction to Lisa's... Cough, cough was actually not completely my fault?" Muku asked.
"Yes. Exactly. But it was only like that because you weren't opposed to it so don't be so quick to free yourself of that guilt. Anyway, in a normal situation, you might have been tempted, but it wouldn't have been so hard to pull away. And from that incident, I think I can safely assu that if she were soone you already loved, then stopping was almost impossible..." Mrs C spoke.
"Oh..." Muku replied absent-mindedly as he thought of that ti with Jade.
Now it made sense. No wonder he wasn't able to stop himself in such a situation...
"It seems I'm right. And if you want more proof... there's how you just cursed . Sure, it wasn't the first ti and you've done so many tis before in your mind. But after all that, you had beco sowhat numb to my actions. And yet, you couldn't stop yourself this ti. Anyway, my advice to you as a concerned mother is that, you should really try to look into your bloodline and understand it more before it leads to doing sothing irreversible... Then again, what you did with that girl might already be irreversible..." Mrs C advised.
"What do you an?" Muku asked confusedly.
Sure, he had done so significantly questionable things with Lisa but it wasn't too over the top right? How was that irreversible?!
"You silly child. You still don't understand yourself completely huh?" Mrs C comnted vaguely.
"Please explain" Muku asked as he felt that he wasn't going to like the answer...
