Location: Gion's Residence
Characters: Vivian, Domino
Onlookers outside the window: Gion, Fujitora, Jinbe
Aili had been sent to the headquarters dormitory by Vivian.
At this moment, Vivian was sitting on a chair, having a heated argument with Domino.
"Don't be mad, Domino. Strictly speaking, Aili was the one who confirmed our relationship first…"
Clang—!
Domino pulled out a dagger hidden in her boot.
Vivian: ∑(っ°Д°;)っ
"Don't be impulsive." Vivian quickly grabbed the dagger from Domino's hand, smiling obsequiously, "You must be hungry after such a long journey. Let me cook for you."
He was about to head to the kitchen but was pulled back by Domino.
"Don't try to change the subject. It's either her or me today. You choose!"
Vivian: "…"
Oh boy, this is turning into a clichéd love triangle drama.
Vivian was at a loss.
Although he had dated in his previous life, he had never experienced a "multi-person relationship" like this.
Aili was relatively easygoing. She liked Vivian a lot but wasn't too bothered by the fact that he had another woman. After all, her father had married twice, and she had seen many nobles with multiple wives. So, she didn't react as strongly as Domino.
But Domino was different. She had even been jealous of Butterfly in Impel Down. With her possessive nature, if Vivian didn't keep an eye on her, she might actually harm Aili.
This gave Vivian a headache.
How could he make Domino accept Aili?
He stroked his chin, then looked at Domino and said, "Domino, do you really… not want to be my wife?"
"Wife… wife?"
Domino's face turned red upon hearing the word. She instinctively took a few steps back, stammering, "You… you want to marry me?"
"Yes."
Vivian nodded and added, "I plan to hold the wedding this year and marry both you and Aili."
"Marry both of us?"
Domino was stunned, then grabbed the iron whip on the table again, "I won't allow another woman to come between us!"
"Vivian, you can only be mine!"
Boom—!
A loud noise erupted inside the house.
Seeing this, Jinbe turned to Fujitora and asked, "How does Captain Vivian manage to say such things so calmly?"
"Not sure, maybe he's just thick-skinned," Fujitora replied, shaking his head.
Meanwhile, Gion, who was openly watching from the window, couldn't help but frown and twitch her mouth.
About a minute later.
"Vivian!"
A loud shout.
"What?" Vivian, who was using Armament Haki to block Domino's punches and kicks, glanced outside.
"If you want to fight, do it outside. This is my house!" Gion.
As soon as she finished speaking, a golden flying slash came from outside.
Everyone: =???=???(●???●|||)
…
Gion's living room was almost completely destroyed, as if thousands of cattle and horses had trampled through it, leaving it in shambles.
Meanwhile, in the residence Vivian had been assigned two days ago.
"Open your mouth and try this braised pork, ah~~"
Vivian held a piece of tender, juicy braised pork in front of Domino's mouth.
(*^-^)ρ(^0^*)
(￣～￣) Chew
"Is it delicious?"
"Delicious."
"Then later, I'll take you to meet Aili, you two should get along well, okay?"
"I'm going to kill that bitch!" (╯‵□′）╯︵┴─┴
Vivian: "..."
...
Evening.
"Hey, Domino."
Lying on the bed, holding Domino in his arms, Vivian gently stroked Domino's smooth skin on her back, speaking softly, "Can't you get along well with Aili? That child has a good temper..."
"I'm going to kill her!"
Hearing the name "Aili," Domino suddenly jumped up from the bed, grabbed the iron whip from the floor, and was about to rush out the door. However, Vivian quickly held her back, sweating profusely, "Alright, alright, let's not mention that woman, let's go to sleep, okay?"
"Mm..."
...
The next morning.
Second floor balcony of the house.
Vivian lay on the lounge chair, and Domino lay in his arms. The two snuggled together, looking sleepily at the sunrise on the coast.
"Wouldn't it be great if, after we retire, we could be like this every day, enjoying the sunrise together?" Vivian said at this moment.
"Retire and be together every day..."
Domino blushed and shrank into Vivian's arms, her face turning red again.
Vivian quickly added, "Yes, yes, you, me, and Aili, the three of us will be together every day..."
"Ah!"
With a shout of anger, hearing the name "Aili," Domino switched back to her enraged state, flipping the chair along with Vivian from the second-floor balcony.
(╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻
Vivian: "..."
...
[Reminder: There are 9 hours left until the task ends]
[Reminder: Failure of the task will result in random punishment]
"Hiss~~Huh!"
Sitting on the sofa, Vivian, with a band-aid on his forehead, gazed at the flowers and trees outside the window, his expression filled with melancholy.
There are only nine hours left until the task's time limit ends.
But Domino still hasn't made any progress...
Could this be the first failure of my four-year journey?
"Should I go and deal with Aili first?"
After all, in his eyes, Aili is much more docile and lovable than Domino.
And just as Vivian was thinking.
Creak!
The door was pushed open, and Domino, holding a bloodied military knife and covered in blood, walked in from outside, looking at Vivian with lifeless eyes.
Vivian: ┏(゜口゜;)┛
"You... what did you do?"
Thinking of a certain possibility, Vivian's face changed, and he asked seriously, "You didn't... do something to Aili, did you?"
"Aili? That woman, she should die..." Domino replied.
{Not really, right?}
As she finished speaking.
Slap!
Vivian raised his hand and slapped Domino's face.
