Nino walked aimlessly for a while, not paying any mind to her surroundings. She had a lot on her mind, but what occupied her thoughts was what was happening in the Doctor's room right now.
It's quite ironic. Instead of thinking about more important stuff, like the memories from her past life, her identity as Lachesis, or the fact that her sister was trying to kill her, she was feeling jealous over another woman being with him right now.
'... I guess it's my fault…'
Maybe if she didn't leave his side and guarded him properly, she would've been the one showering with him right now. Instead her pink haired friend got to have him to herself. She did earn it so it's only fair, but the Japanese doll couldn't help being resentful of her friend for stealing the precious time she could've spent with him.
"You should pay more attention to me, idiot…"
"Okay!"
Nino felt her soul leave her body, almost dying for the second time. Her neck almost snapped when she turned around, and when she saw Juni standing behind her, her smile as bright as usual, her face began to heat up with embarrassment.
"W-w-what are you doing?" She asked.
"Eh? Well, I had nothing better to do so… I decided to hang out with you, that's all!"
Juni's energetic and easygoing nature made her a little difficult to deal with. She was a bit of an airhead, and would rarely sit still. But worst of all, she wasn't afraid to go for what she wants, feeling no shame when she says what was on her mind.
'I can't believe she asked him directly…'
Nino tried imagining herself asking the Doctor to have sex with her, but couldn't see herself doing it. Even if she were to force herself, she would never be able to be as nonchalant as the tomboy standing in front of her.
'Guess there are perks to being an idiot…'
"Say, Nino…" Matching her pace, Juni walked beside the Japanese doll, her fingers interlocked behind her back. "When did you get to do it?"
"Do what?"
"You know, S.E.X. you seem to have gotten close to Doctor in a short time so…"
Nino sighed then turned to her fellow Valkyrie with half lid eyes.
"It's just as Venti said, you don't sound like you understand what you're talking about."
"Not you too!" Juni sulked a little, her shoulders slumping over. "Why does everyone keep saying this to me?"
"Well, if you haven't noticed yet, you're a bit weird. How can you talk about such a topic without getting embarrassed?"
"Well…" looking up in thought, The tomboy tried to think of the reason. "Ah! Right! The soldiers back at my base!" She said, suddenly recalling something. "They always talked about it openly so I thought it was normal."
Once again Nino found herself in shock at what she heard and almost facepalmed herself.
"Say, you didn't spend any time with them, right?"
"Hm? Of course not! If anyone found out about me sneaking around I would've been in some really big trouble!"
"Good. Make sure you never interact with humans again. Especially the males."
It was only then that Nino understood why Nine had told them that they can only sleep with the Doctor. If the Resistance didn't have rules that prevented the Valkyries from interacting with the human soldiers, some disgusting bastards might've found a way to trick the clueless Valkyries into giving themselves up.
'Hm? Since when did I…'
Coming to a stop, the Japanese doll stared at her feet in thought.
As far as she was concerned, she was sure that she should be as clueless as her follow Valkyries about such topics. Now, however, she seemed to have a better understanding of the relationship between men and women, and she had a good grasp on what must be avoided at all costs.
'Is it the knowledge from my time as Lachesis?'
All of a sudden, an incomprehensible horror crept up her back. First it was the Giant Ants and now this. The only way to explain it was that her old self was truly seeping into her new one, and that begged the question; what would happen to her current personality? Would she become a different person? Would she still be willing to serve as a Valkyrie once that happens?
According to Wolf, or Odin as they used to call him, all Valkyries have spent a certain amount of time in Asgard, the virtual reality simulation, to train and learn the skills they needed to operate properly. Their memories of that time were then erased leaving only the skills they learned.
But was that really the truth? If their memories really were erased, wouldn't that have affected their personalities a little?
"Say, Juni, do you remember the first day you-"
"Ah!" Juni exclaimed, interrupting her before she could finish the question. She then grabbed her by the shoulder and began shaking her aggressively. "Nino, look! Small humans! It's my first time seeing one! So cute!!!"
It seems that at some point the two had reached the evacuation site. Humans were gathering around, some moving stuff, others loading the armored trucks. The most eye catching part however was the crowd of small children gathered in one spot. They seemed to be waiting to board a special vehicle of some sort, one that was of a much better quality than the rest of the convoy.
There were a lot of adults as well, and everyone was staring in their direction. As expected, a lot of them seem scared of the two Valkyries, or Angels as they call them. They probably didn't know that the two had better hearing than the average human which made the whispers loud and clear to them.
'Small humans, huh…' Nino thought, ignoring the worried looks of the adults 'I think this is my first time seeing this many…'
Just then an image began to form in her mind. In it she was wearing a white summer dress, walking beside the doctor who for once wasn't wearing his lab coat. The two of them smiled at each other then looked down. A little girl was walking between them, holding each of their hands with a beaming smile.
The little girl looked like a miniature version of Nino herself. At first, she didn't understand what was going on with the strange fantasy, but then her face instantly flushed as she came to the realization.
She was imagining her future family with Sam.
