Chapter 21
Today marked the day of Flukey's ban being lifted which meant he could get back to work and he was just on his way to the Ark when Syuen stopped him.
Syuen: You!
Flukey: Oh hey Syuen. What can I do for--
Before Flukey could finish his sentence, Syuen pushed him into his chair and made him look into her eyes as Countess rushed in but Flukey silently put his hand up, assuring them that he was fine.
Syuen: Who the hell do you think you are ratting me out like that?!
Flukey: Technically I didn't rat you out. I just told Enikk that someone from higher up contacted me and managed to swipe Yuni and Mihara from under your nose. I knew you'd be able to avoid getting arrested. People like you are just good like that.
Flukey had a small smirk and this infuriated Syuen.
Syuen: You think you can do this to me and get away with this?! I'm a CEO and you're some lowly Commander just like every other runt in the academy!
Hearing and seeing Syuen antagonizing Flukey was driving Countess over the edge and if they didn't have their NIMPH, they, especially Yuni, would've put Syuen in the ground permanently regardless of the consequences to come after but they trusted Flukey enough to handle the situation.
Flukey: A "lowly" Commander that ranked at the top of his class. Survived multiple missions on the surface. And went toe-to-toe with Chatterbox and lived to tell about it. Yeah. I'm a real lowly Commander.
Syuen: Keep talking buddy and I'll have your ass sent to the electric chair and your little rust-buckets scrapped. I don't care if Yuni and Mihara once belonged to me. They were nothing but wastes of resources then and they still are now. I should've gotten rid of them ages ago.
When Syuen threatened Flukey's Nikkes and insulted Yuni and Mihara, that's when he decided to take the gloves off.
Flukey: *Slowly stands up, towering over Syuen* And if I get sent to the chair then I'll make sure you get sent to the nastiest part of a Rehabilitation Center. The only ones who know the truth are Andersen, Mustang, and Ingrid and they've got the evidence but I asked them not to because I have or rather had a very small sliver of respect for you more so for your intelligence than your experience as a decent human being. And for the record you being a CEO don't mean shit cause from what I've heard the CEO's Elysion and Missilis have been replaced more times than you've made breakthroughs during your status as CEO. And I'm just gonna take a wild guess here and say you haven't made any new breakthroughs and the Central Government is beginning to lose their patience with your procrastination. I truly hope Ingrid gets to keep her CEO status for a long time because I like her and I can tell that she certainly deserves her spot. But you, the Central Government's only letting you keep your status more so because they haven't found a proper replacement yet. I can promise you that as soon as they find someone more mature and capable you'll be tossed out onto the street and forgotten, labeled as another power player that came and went.
Syuen and Countess just stood there stunned at what they just heard.
Then Flukey started to walk to the door and Countess stood out of his way before he opened it.
Flukey: I'm not a violent or mean person at heart, but one thing I do not tolerate is anyone threatening the ones I love and value as my family. I think it might be best for you to leave. Please.
Even when he's riddled with anger, he was still able to show Syuen "some" respect.
With no other counter against Flukey's words, Syuen left in defeat and Flukey just sighed.
Flukey: Great. And I was in such a good mood earlier.
Then Rapi spoke.
Rapi: Commander....what you did....
Flukey: Rapi, I know you think I should've handled the situation better but I couldn't. I don't care if she's a CEO. She needed some humbling and I was more than willing to give it to her.
Anis: I couldn't agree more Commander! The look on her face when you insulted her!
Neon: Once again Master proves why he's the best Master around!
Mihara: And you have me and Yuni's thanks for standing up for us. Though what you said really caught me by surprise.
Flukey: Which part?
Yuni: The one where you said you love and value us as your family. Did you really mean that.
Then things got silent as all the girls looked at Flukey, awaiting his answer but it didn't take long for him to give one.
Flukey: I meant that with every fiber of my being.
In an instant, the girls all hugged Flukey tightly, showing him the same love as he's shown them and he hugged back, returning that love all the same.
As they hugged, one thing was on Countess's mind.
Countess: (We love you too Commander)
