After Breaking Up, I Married the General-Chapter 167 - 166: Staying on the unknown planet 3

Chapter 167: Chapter 166: Staying on the unknown planet 3
As for the matter of causing me to enter such a rare state, you don’t have to feel too bad about it as you weren’t even the whole cause of it, since I already had such a bad mental state because of other matters.
As long as it doesn’t happen to me that often, then I’ll just treat it as a rare experience," Ryzel said, and then hugged Layton before whispering into his ear.
"Oh, as for clinginess, I think I’m already clinging to you enough. Well, just enjoy while we’re here and aren’t that busy yet," Ryzel said and then lightly nibbled on Layton’s ear.
Layton chuckled and squeezed his butt a little and said, "Are you sure you want to provoke me now?
If you aren’t interested in talking more and going outside, then I can certainly accompany you here. And I’m certainly more interested in accompanying you here for a deeper connection."
"No, you already promised me a while ago that you’re going to take me outside."
"Yes, but if you continue provoking me, then we can also go out tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or just days later. We have a lot of time anyway."
"No, let’s go out today," Ryzel said and let go of Layton, sitting properly on his thighs.
"By the way, are there really no serious side effects for the guides that entered such a state of clinginess without satisfying what they wanted?"
"Yes, there were indeed no records of serious side effects after the guides who experienced such a state weren’t able to satisfy themselves and cling to the person that caused them to enter a new state of happiness.
But it was also recorded that most of those guides who haven’t satisfied their clinginess would have a colder relationship with the person that caused it, and the colder treatment would probably last shorter or longer depending on the effort and how good the sentinel is in coaxing the guide."
"I see. Then if I enter such a state again, be sure to stay by my side. If you don’t, then the cold treatment that you’ll receive would probably last for a long time," Ryzel said while chuckling a bit.
"Don’t worry. If you enter such a state again, I will certainly stay with you. I would certainly prevent you from entering such a state, but if it really happens again, I will certainly stay with you."
"That’s good. But why don’t I remember the school teaching about it when it’s related to guides? I only remembered that I heard a little bit of it from Lyre."
"If I remembered correctly, in your first year of university you often didn’t attend the basic psychology of guides, and you used those class times for research instead.
And because you could already improve potions at that time, most of your professors just let you go as long as you also had good scores when there were assessments.
Such a rare state probably wasn’t included in your textbook, so you haven’t seen it, but your professor at that time probably mentioned it in class—but you weren’t there."
After Layton mentioned it, Ryzel remembered that he didn’t have much interest in the psychology of guides, so he just used the time for that class to research potions.
His professor for that class was also very understanding, and as long as he could consistently score high in his assessments, he was permitted not to attend the class.
"Well, you are probably right. But you certainly knew a lot about me."
"You were only 16 or 17 at that time, so I was still receiving daily s of your activities. Of course, I was mostly aware of what you’d been doing."
"Now that you reminded me again, I think you’re a bit of an idiot for not visiting me at all.
Lyre had always told me that I’m a bit slow when it comes to my emotions, but I think you are actually slower than me.
You’d always been watching me, but you didn’t even realize your feelings for me—not until you heard that I was already together with someone."
"I think it’s actually because I have been watching you for a long time that I didn’t notice when my feelings for you had actually turned into love," Layton said and gave him a peck on his lips.
"Well, that could indeed be the case, but you’re still a strange one. Even though the marriage system lowered the compatibility requirement of guides and sentinels to marry with just 30% compatibility, most people would still look for the one with the highest compatibility with them.
Most sentinels would also look for guides that were highly compatible with them because it’s better for their mental sea.
And you, who actually needed me the most because of your mental sea, still managed to let me go.
With how strong you are, if the army had known that your compatibility with me was certainly very high—because you had already felt it even before I awakened as a guide—then even if they didn’t outright force me to be together with you, they’d certainly offer a lot of things and think of a lot of ways to coax me to stay with you, even if you didn’t do anything at all.
They’d make sure that I’d become your guide, since they couldn’t just lose their god of war when the guide he was compatible with was actually present but just in another relationship. They’d probably offer something to my ex just to break up with me if they knew about it."
"Yes, I know. That’s why I didn’t mention it to anyone at all.
I knew that once I informed someone, that someone would surely go to you, even if I didn’t want to, because they cared for me.
So I didn’t even mention it to Mervin, who had always been the closest friend staying by my side.
If I mentioned it to him and made him promise not to tell anyone and not disturb you... once something happened to me, he would certainly go to you.
I didn’t want to force you into anything, and I wanted you to freely decide what you wanted to do in your life, so I never said anything to anyone. Now that you’re already by my side, I’m very satisfied with it."
