You know that, so why are you asking?
Seiya nodded, feeling secretly resigned.
Megumai acted as if struck by a heavy blow, clutching her chest with a look of profound sorrow.
She sighed dramatically, her eyes welling up slightly, and choked out, "My son married a wife and forgot his mother! In just one night, Mother became an outsider! Boo-hoo, Mother's heart hurts so much~"
A beauty in tears is a pitiful sight.
Seiya, however, looked calm and unmoved.
He reached out and pinched the corners of his mother's soft lips, forcing them into an upward curve.
"Mother, stop acting. I'm not a five or six-year-old child anymore; you can't trick me."
"Mother is crying, and you say I'm acting! What a cruel heart!"
Megumai verbally chastised him, poking his chest with her delicate finger, but her eyes were full of smiles, completely dry.
Then, she got back to the point and asked again.
"Son, was it comfortable with Mikoto last night?"
Seiya realized his mother wouldn't give up until she got an answer, so he could only nod, answering silently.
"Then, compared to Yugito, who was more comfortable?"
"..." Seiya paused, then decided to just go all out, "It was similar, I guess. Yugito sensei was more assertive, and Mikoto-neesan was gentler."
Anyway, being embarrassed by one question is the same as being embarrassed by two.
He didn't care anymore. If his mother dared to ask, he dared to answer!
He would even be detailed!
Megumai was very pleased with the lowering of his boundaries and continued to press with interest.
"Did Mikoto praise you for being good last night?"
"Mm," Seiya nodded, "In the end, when she begged for mercy, she even called me daddy. This is all thanks to Mother supervising me in studying the pre-marriage materials!"
"You!"
Megumai sighed lightly, tapping her son's nose with a smile.
"Mother saw that Mikoto wasn't very spirited today. You two must have been quite rowdy until late last night. You two met at your respective peak ages!"
"Peak ages?" Seiya murmured, deep in thought, then looked at his radiant mother, "I remember you, Mother, are about the same age as Mikoto-neesan. Are you also at your peak age?"
Megumai smiled sweetly, gently patting her son's hand, and chastised him playfully, "You've grown up, daring to tease Mother now!"
Seiya grinned, secretly triumphant that his counterattack had succeeded and made his mother embarrassed too!
The mother and son continued to tease each other for a while in this manner.
Then, Megumai straightened her collar, put away her smile, and sat properly on the edge of the bed.
"No more fooling around. Mother has something to remind you about."
"What is it?"
"Your strong performance in the bed now largely comes from the protection of 'Purification.' But, my eyes, my vision is nearing the point where I have to replace them."
"Uh..."
Seiya was stunned for a moment, then said with a heartache, "Mother, you should replace your eyes as soon as possible. It's too tormenting to not see clearly."
Megumai smiled faintly, gently caressing her son's cheek.
"I've endured for ten years; there's no hurry right this moment. The reason I'm telling you now is that I'm worried you won't be moderate, setting too high a threshold for Mikoto and the others. Once 'Purification' is gone, your performance will inevitably be somewhat diminished. This drop-off might lead to disharmony in your married life."
"I understand." Seiya nodded seriously. "I will gradually reduce the frequency and try to exercise restraint!"
"You don't need to worry too much either."
Megumai smiled sweetly, comforting him, "You need to move past the misconception that quality is more important than quantity in the bedroom. Just being aggressive will only turn it into a physical exercise, having 'form' but no 'spirit.'"
Seiya looked somewhat confused, yet full of expectation. Just having the 'form' was already very comfortable and enjoyable. If it also gained 'spirit,' then wouldn't it be... unimaginable!
Megumai, seeing his anticipation, asked with a smile, "Do you want to have 'spirit'?"
"Yes, yes!" Seiya nodded vigorously like a chick pecking rice.
"Mother has an advanced textbook here. Study it well."
"Okay!"
Seiya looked excited, staring intently at his mother, eager to learn and impatient.
Megumai arched her eyebrows slightly and shook her head gently.
"Not today. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Ah? Why? There's nothing else to do today!" Seiya was very confused.
"What do you think?"
Megumai asked faintly, then stood up and opened the door.
Sigh, Mother is unhappy about Mikoto-neesan's naming after all!
Seiya realized this, sighed, and didn't insist, obediently leaving the room.
Good things take time; he would study tomorrow.
He also needed to figure out how to compensate his mother and resolve the small knot in her heart.
Seiya thought this as he headed to the Raikage's Office Building to report on the matter at Cloud-Thunder Gorge.
...
On this day, he officially stepped into his married life.
He had largely shed the worry of insufficient strength and reduced a great deal of the trouble of training, but he didn't feel relaxed.
Because he realized that the real challenge in life had just surfaced.
Mother and wife, wife and wife, and even wife and daughter, daughter and daughter...
In the future, he, as the head of the family, would need to balance everything!
