novelThe five bride candidates
| ← Ch.02 | Ch.04 → |
The morning one month after I came home to Dibair. Having jumped into my view was jet-black darkness after I woke up in the bed in my own room.
"Amu...... gashigashigashi" Kaitos
"...... Hey, what are you doing, Kaitos?" Craft
Seeing his face wet from saliva, my consciousness awoke from the unpleasant mood. Kaitos, you did well. To begin with your bed isn't here.
"Huhh, did you finally get up? You traitor" Kaitos
"Traitor...... that again? Until when on earth would you have a grudge" Craft
With an sullen face, Kaitos flew around the air while flapping his wings. This guy is bad tempered since the day I accepted Efrika′s bet.
"Such a thing shouldn't be allured into Bippa-Aremajiwaros. However... this is the biggest crisis for me and also it's a big opportunity" Kaitos
"Again, I don't understand the meaning. Today is an important day" Craft
Rising from my bed, the disorder of the sheet is mended. If I don't do this, then Zenan will be angry.
"Don't come into a person's room without permission. Go to your own room" Craft
"The place where I should be is always next to you Craft. It's insignificant that the next room is mine" Kaitos
"...... You're a honest guy who remembers such an old promise forever" Craft
It's ten years ago that I signed a contract with Kaitos by strange fortune. At that time, I was young and unskilled. Well, I have felt like dying.
"Everything is forgotten! My encounter with you......" Kaitos
At the time Kaitos tried to talk in his embarrassing state, someone knocked on the door suddenly. Weakly, three times...... this knocking is Zenan.
"You can enter, it isn′t locked" Craft
I spoke through the door and the door was opened after a little time. As expected that person came in and has a plate with breakfast in her right hand.
"Excuse me and good morning. Craft actually wet his bed until he was seven" Zenan
"Why are you telling me this information Zenan? Ah? Do you want to pick a fight?" Craft
"Please don't stare so much. Zenan′s delicate heart is only kyun, kyun, kyun" Zenan
"Uwaa...... kitsuu" Craft
A dialog is expressionlessly vomited. I′m surpassed, and it's a kind of fear already.
"By the way, one month ago it was Zenan who wet her bed" Craft
"Here is your breakfast, I already have enough for today. Anyways, rest. Rest for about one week" Zenan
No, wait a moment. Certainly one month ago... the time when I returned? From the view of the Eromier cane, I saw how she dried a futon at that time──
"Craft, when you associate with Zenan′s joke, then the day will come to an end" Kaitos
It is as Kaitos says. I, of all people, took part in Zenan′s pace.
"Then I leave the breakfast here. Once you are done eating, that thirsty bitch of a stalker will be waiting for you with her huge ass breasts, so please come to Eren's room" Zenan
"I don't know what it is with you, but you mustn't harbor a grudge considerably... Zenan" Craft
"It's absurd. I would just like to have all women with big breasts to die" Zenan
"You can't have a grudge against all women in this world" Craft
My Tsukkomi is empty and Zenan breaks the iron plate, before she leaves the room. Because she doesn't show any feeling on her face at all, I'm always afraid of her behavior.
"Haa...... can I eat my meal quickly? It will be annoying if I let Efrika wait" Craft
"Umu. Then I will help you quickly eat that meal. HamHamm" Kaitos
As soon as it is said, Kaitos runs away holding the bread of breakfast in his mouth. I admire his greed, but I hate that he took my breakfast away helplessly.
"Anyway haven't you already had breakfast? I'll give you the half, so please return Kaitos" Craft
I captured Kaitos on the scruff of his neck and took the bread away that is held in the center of his mouth. Although he looks at me with a reproachful face, I worry and throw the already bitten bread into my mouth.
"Ah, that's my mouth......" Craft
"Ngunguu? Wouldn't you be dirty particularly? Won't it be a dog and cat fight" Kaitos
Kaitos is greedy about food. When his growing period ends, I want him to recover.
"Hu, Huhh! Natural! Craft, I have to go soon!" Kaitos
"Hey, where do you go? Because I'm busy due to various reasons today, can't I look for you?" Craft
"Huhu...... don't worry. Even if it is unpleasant, I will meet you later" Kaitos
With these words, Kaitos opened the door skillfully with his tail and flew out to the passage. That Kaitos suggest that I act on my own... if I may say, recently he is on good terms with Efrika and they seem to do something secretly. What on earth are these two scheming.
"I have an unpleasant hunch... even if I'm thinking, it's inevitable" Craft
I finished chewing the bread and poured it down into my stomach quickly by soup with bacon. I also think it isn't quite satisfactory a little, but it's better to have 80 percent of the stomach full in the morning.
"Well then, do I prepare it?" Craft
After wearing my usual overcoat, Dantes who I have leant against the wall is carried on my back. Then next, I put Bajirus into the holster on my waist and lastly hung my antique goggle around my neck. This familiar appearance... unless there are these, I don't calm down at all.
"I'm counting on you today, too, partner" Craft
I, who arranged to go out of the room, face straight toward Eren's room. I felt depressed to meet the other partner, Efrika, but I come to walk with a light step gradually by recollecting what will happen from now on.
"I appreciate your efforts. Always, thank you" Craft
I keep walking, while speaking to the maids and soldiers I passed and arrived at the front of my destination finally. I′m fed up with this uselessly wide castle, even if it only takes five minutes.
"Efrika, I am entering! If there is some business, let's finish it quickly!" Craft
A noisy tone affects, when I open the door slowly. When I notice that Efrika made her neck long, which let her look like a flower that is blooming under the moon, while waiting inside, she jumped up from the chair and runs up with a brilliant smile on her face.
"Good Morning, Craft-niisama. It seems you have slept a lot last night" Efrika
"Well, why are you wearing this awkward outfit" Craft
I don't understand why she is wearing silver armor together with a pink dress as an outfit. It's really gorgeous and the armor part that protects her is also dignified. In particular, the armored part on her chest seems tight variously.
"Huhuhuu, did you fall in love again?" Efrika
"How can I fall in love again, when I hadn't fallen in love yet. Because I′m fine to talk, tell me your matter quickly" Craft
"Aamouu! Nii-san is also a impatient person like me!" Efrika
I′d like to be reborn. She is serious and troublesome.
"Efrika, did you call me to talk about the bride candidates?" Craft
"Aah, elder brother has foreseen as expected. My heart and body is in elder brother's palm──" Efrika
"What? My prospective brides, have they already gathered?" Craft
Seriously when I hear this woman's nonsense, it's insufficient no matter how much time is given. It was transmitted that I had run out of impatience and Efrika answered back with a respectable attitude.
"Yes. 5 people representing each country and one judge...... six people in total are waiting for Nii-san" Efrika
"Judge? What's that?" Craft
"After there are offsprings, it is said that power will be lent to ascertain elder brother's marriage partner. The one decided finally was elder brother who declined sometime ago...... I′m begging you to love me very much" Efrika
"Hee? It's unusual for you to praise someone besides me" Craft
Especially, praising this woman is equal to nothing. Is Leona an exception...... ? Well fine. Whether there is a judge or not, it's not a problem as long as I have the final word.
"Huhuu. I think that all representatives including me are of elder brother′s taste" Efrika
"Your words, let me feel uneasy a bit......" Craft
Perhaps, the reason for political marriage is necessary, but I don't want to believe that there is more to it. Inside is better than outward appearances and with my guidance there is no other way than that.
"Relax, Nii-san. Even if there are four other women, I will still be chosen at the end by all means" Efrika
"It's increasing every time you have great confidence. Now just as I thought" Craft
Efrika is one of my very few natural enemies. She enjoys tormenting me...... the expectation keeps rising.
"Good, let us go quickly. Would you want to avoid lateness on the first day, too?" Craft
"Wait elder brother. A subject still remains" Efrika
Efrika stops me when I try to open the door and to go out. There still seems to be some business.
"It's easy talk, but do you want to admit whoever wants to be a bride candidate? Simply just that" Efrika
"Whats with that thing? Even if it isn't checked, it isn't minded particularly" Craft
My guidance will have an effect on this bad person. Still, if it isn′t good and I should give up, I would have refused from the beginning.
"Thank you Nii-san. I certainly will remember your words" Efrika
"Understood, Understood. Whoever will come, I′ll have a pleasant expression" Craft
I open the door this time and go out of the room to the hallway. Efrika follows me from behind and we both aim for Bremfai magic and science academy. Dorura castle is only several minutes away from Bremfai, which is soaring since the days this country was established. It is said that a breath of admiration leaked from whoever sees this graceful and dignified appearance.
"Well! Nii-san, try to look outside the town! Wonderful liveliness!" Efrika
"Why, because there is a big event once in a year" Craft
I looked down from the window of the castle at the town that was crowded with hundreds of people which is normal. This will be because the people are gathering from around the world for Bremfai′s entrance ceremony.
"When there are so much people, it's also serious to go. Kaitos isn't here...... so shall we call a carriage?" Craft
"No, you should walk. Even if you dislike a crowd of people, you need to get some air" Efrika
"Aa...... huhuu, oh well. I'm sorry to say a boorish thing" Craft
Efrika gladly raised her voice and turned her body around. There can be many in my side even at one second...... so I only laugh at her with a happy face. Is it strangely ticklish or what do I say?
"Nn? It isn't bad as I thought...... right?" Craft
"What are you doing Nii-san? Hey, let's go!" Efrika
Everyone sees how the honor student leads me, the problem child, by hand. Usually I would shake her hand off in no time, but now──
"Tsk, worthless" Craft
Let's assume especially, that I'll overlook it today.
The prideful learning garden which is the biggest in the continent──Bremfai magic and science academy. It's the first time that I set foot into it, but I think this is a stiff place beyond my expectation. Usually many humans come and go and only when a superior person passes the side is the head lowered with a smiling face. Only formal etiquette is acquired, which I learned in my private grounds.
"Oi Oi, what kind of education is given here?". Craft
"I'm sorry. It's painful when his Highness grieves for me......" Delrogello
Walking along side me to the school building is a tall man who hangs his head down and has tears in the corner of his eyes. The name of this tall man is Delrogello J. Gakas. He is a young and slim man who can be an actor with his handsome face...... to tell the truth, he is the chief director of this academy.
"Cunningly, a person with shallow consideration is corrupted like a wise person. Education is difficult" Delrogello
"That's the way it is. What happened to Efrika? Hasn't she arrived with you because she followed you from behind...... did she go to the bathroom?" Craft
"Efrika-sama already headed to the classroom ahead. Pay attention to the other bride candidates" Delrogello
Is that the reason why Delrogello is the guide? I'm scared of that woman′s preparation here.
"Then his Highness. Although it is very grateful, but the majority of students here are against his Highness, eemmm......" Delrogello
"Do you think it is pleasant? That's no problem in particular" Craft
Why was suddenly the prince′s bride training subject made at this prestigious school. Not to mention that I′m called the lazy prince. It is natural that only negative feelings are held.
"Whether my coronation to which you'd come eventually is all right with such an approval rating" Craft
"...... It is all right. Whatever there will be, I'm his highness's ally. Yes, no matter what it is" Delrogello
These are wonderful words obediently, but Delrogello...... why does he blush there, hey!
"A, Apart from that, is this passage still continuing? We already walked for over ten minutes" Craft
"Hahahaa, you don't need to worry. Prompt already...... we arrived" Delrogello
At the end of the passage we walked up was a double door. Nowadays, I'm certain that behind that unusual wooden door a historic room would be laid in place.
"Why was such a far place chosen? Isn't a place near the entrance good" Craft
"I was told that this was the best room from Efrika-sama. Then his Highness, please go inside" Delrogello
The wooden door is easily opened by Delrogello′s hand. Finally, I′m facing my long-awaited prospective brides.
"Thank you chief director Delrogello. Goodbye" Craft
I'm involving myself in a medium classroom by affected behavior. Therefore because I will be king sooner or later, I feel like trying to look good a little.
"I′m glad to meet you, I′m Craft Serima Dibair......" Craft
I started my greeting with a powerless and low voice than usual while advancing steps. Even when I stand on the platform just like that, I look up in order to look at my five bride candidates──
"We're waiting for Craft-niisan" Efrika
Efrika bows in the frontmost seat. Nothing else matters because this is a obvious thing. However the problem is the girl sitting next to her.
"Oh, good morning Craft-niisama" Leona
"Le, LeLe, Leoonnaa!" Craft
Her shoulder long blue hair is glittering like a clear stream and her eyes are shining bluer than a sapphire...... and being two heads smaller than me, why is my lovely proud younger sister here in this academy?
"Ah, you raised a very funny cry. However I wanted to see this surprising face...... Haah" Efrika
"Ah? Why are you smirking, Efrika? Is this your scheme?" Craft
"Uwa! UwaaUwaa! His Highness Craft! Calm down! Don′t pull out your sword!" Delrogello
I who tried to pull out Dantes was intercepted by Delrogello from behind. As a result, I pulled Dantes out half from the sheath and used thunder magic at the tip of the sheath without an aim, so that sparks and a vibration is caused. Uu, dicey. I was so serious that I almost lost myself.
"Ah...... emmm" Craft
Cold glances from the whole class pierce me who suppressed his magic after calming down severely. Shit. Efrika and Leona aren't the only one here.
"Naahaahaahaa! Goood! Let's fight thoroughly!" Tanned girl
"Finally, we were finally able to meet...... Craft-sama" Blond girl
"Is that the prince of Dibair, Craft-dono......" Black girl
"Huh. As always, a hopeless guy" Purple girl
I see four other women sitting on some seats dispersively besides the two I know. The types are different respectively, but all members may probably be the finest beauties.
""Ap, Apparently, His Highness Craft seems to be strained! Wahahahahaa!" Delrogello
Although it is bad for the desperate Delrogello when chilled air is piled up, I am not convinced yet. Why is Leona necessary for my bride election? Is this a scheme from Efrika?
"Nii-san, shall we start with our self-introductions? Do you want me to start?" Efrika
"... Yes, please" Craft
They seem to have a mind to clear my question. If it's so, I should stand here and watch the state.
"First of all, I′m Efrika Serimi Dibair. I′m Craft-niisan′s cousin and my specialty is healing magic. Elder brother′s hobby is also my hobby. My dream is to have ten or more children from elder brother!" Efrika
"Oh, really. Then the next person" Craft
"Aah, I think that it has been disliked completely. Next is Leona, you must introduce yourself, too" Efrika
"Ye, Yes! Efrika-anesama!" Leona
Although the tender Leona trembles overwhelmingly, only one person stands up in the face necessary for this class. She can't articulate with this tension and those who saw her knew that she falters.
"I, I′m Craft-niisama′s younger sister, emm...... I'd like to lend my help to decide elder brothers' bride, so I asked elder sister Efrika, that...... wawaa, did I say my name?" Leona
Is power lent to me? Ah, I see, the judge Efrika meant was Leona. Certainly as my younger sister, she has the right to help with her elder brother′s marriage partner.
"Calm down Leona. Everyone, listen properly" Craft
"Hyahi! Eemm...... I′m the judge Leona Serimi Dibair" Leona
"You for a moment! Can't you talk more briskly?" Blond girl
A woman on a seat behind lost her temper, because Leona couldn't finish her words. Although she wears a flashy gothic dress which is like the royal clothes of Baretoria, why does a black hood cover her head so deeply. A forelock overflows which shows that this girl has pretty blond hair that matches her clothes well in my opinion...... so she clearly is a royal from Baretoria. But what's with this stupid bitch! How dare she offend my lovely Leona...... !
"Because later is serviceable, please bring it to an end quickly" Blond girl
"My, My aappologieess! I'll work hard to help my elder brothers! That's it!" Leona
Leona′s delicate heart has been hurt and fueled at the same time, so that she strains her energy and was going to end her wonderful self introduction. Ah, she's so lovely.
"Leona, it's great that you're working hard" Efrika
"Uuu...... thank you very much, Efrika-anesama" Leona
"For my younger sister to try to interrupt her elder brother's marriage partner...... with this, it is sympathized ahead" Craft
The hood woman who booed a short while ago pulls her chair and stands up while glancing sideways at Leona who wipes her tears. Is she an impatient character, because the forefingers of her crossed arms moved restlessly.
"Next is my turn. Craft-sama is that fine?" Blond girl
"Being silent isn't good at all, hood woman" Craft
"Then my name is Venu...... eh? What did you just said?" Venu
"Noisy Venu. I'm not interested in you at all" Craft
Insulting Leona is worth certain death. If it isn't such a place, I would evaporate her.
"Naa! My name isn't Venu! It is Venusera Lloyd Bareto! I′m the second princess of Baretoria!" Venu
"I′m not interested in your words, Venu" Craft
I have no relation, even if she is the representative of Baretoria or the second princess. I don't permit this guy who injures my important people.
"Na, Nanaa, quite an impolite man! Chief director Delrogello! This is an international problem!" Venu
"Hii, please forgive it! His Highness Craft! Why are you acting like this so suddenly!" Delrogello
"Craft-niisan, it is necessary to hear the self introductions, though your feelings are understood" Efrika
For the sake of soothing the angry Venu, both Delrogello and Efrika became upset and began to admonish me. These two people don't seem to understand, why I concede this.
"My name is Venusera! I′m Baretoria′s second princess and I have shooting skills......" Venu
"Then next, how about the samurai girl. Please" Craft
"What? Do you mean me?" Black girl
"Serrriioouuss! Why am I ignored! Ridiculous!" Venu
"It's so. Because you don't have to worry about noise, I ask crisply" Craft
I leave the noisy Venu alone and continued with the next woman.
"Gumumuu, you absolutely want to make it as a problem! No, before that I personal──!" Venu
"Don't raise your voice, person of Baretoria. Without deciding order you started to talk without permission" Craft
"Uh, that's so for certain...... but I to that man......" Venu
"Then, there won't be a complaint. I have been waiting for a while now here" Black girl
The samurai who controlled Venu by just arguments stands up and began to introduce herself with a penetrating voice.
"Wara...... cough. My name is Sasaki Musashi. I come from the eastern country Isamura" Sasaki
Light armor is generally worn in Isamura. The glossy long black-haired girl is wearing it and seeing her face with my sharp observation, it's round and has a pretty and cool impression.
"I′m from the Tokugawa house. My skill is fencing and I'm still undefeated in Isamura" Sasaki
"What? You, why is your name Sasaki Musashi when you′re from the Tokugawa house?" Craft
No, before that no matter how it's seen, she is a princess with a far off dress......
"That's right. I chose the road of military affairs and abandoned family estate and name. Because of that, I personally gave myself that name. Therefore I am now an ordinary disciplinant──but for some reason I became a marriage candidate" Sasaki
When talking about Tokugawa house, then it should be the family that rules Isamura from generation to generation. After this woman abandoned her family estate...... did she become a samurai?
"The matter of your name is understood, but when you abandoned your family estate, why do you participate in this upbringing study?" Craft
When it isn't for a political marriage, then there is no reason by which I have acquaintance with an individual. For Musashi, this marriage proposal seems not to have an advantage either. When I think so, Musashi began to answer my doubt bit by bit.
"...... One year ago, Craft-dono annulled the marriage proposal with me. For me at that time, it was the biggest disgrace. Declining without seeing me in a meeting──kuu!" Sasaki
Remembering the memory from that time, Musashi stares at me while grinding her teeth. Waoo. She is the princess from Isamura......
"My father said it to me who grieves of your cowardice and sheds tears. 『This is because you're too soft. If you have spare time to sulk, study consequently. Become strong and look back!』" Sasaki
"Such circumstances...... uh?" Craft
"I deserted my female-self and trained myself desperately since that. And finally this chance came...... By all means necessary I will overthrow you Craft-dono, regardless of the marriage!" Sasaki
Everyone in this place nodded after understanding the declaration of the too dignified Musashi. However, isn't this idea strange when you think for a moment?
"Hey Hey! You, didn't your purpose changed? I heard that you want to win against me as a samurai, not as a bride candidate! In fact, that's your final goal!" Craft
"Well? Is that a problem?" Sasaki
"What problem...... no, it might be interesting? Uh" Craft
Someone who wants to challenge me and hasn't political marriage as object. It can be said that's a strict custom of Isamura and here we have a tomboyish princess which isn't surprising.
"Isamura girl, I can't understand your idea. Why will you lose the marriage of a lifetime?" Venu
"I already abandoned my female-self, when I decided to walk the way of military affairs. Its satisfying when a former woman who was refused before gets the victory!" Sasaki
"Just now, the end of your words doesn't match your character. Therefore, your countrymen won't like that!" Venu
Why does this hood girl always try to fan someone? Is everything cursed or why such ceremony restriction?
"Hey Venu. Your last sentence is also annoying" Craft
"Nnaa! Where is my tone annoying! This graceful way of talking is......" Venu
"Then the next person. Please introduce yourself" Craft
"Muukyaaaaa!! Remember! I will repay you later!" Venu
I ignored the noisy Venu and talked to the tanned girl who seems taller than me. I easily understood that she is from Bunna because of the pink flower she is wearing on her head and the worn native dress, the only worrisome fact is the huge halberd kept at her side. Is she able to swing it with her hands...... ?
"Oo! Finally my turn! I got tired of waiting and got hungry!" Tanned girl
The white-haired Bunna girl raised her dull voice and rises from her seat. Her huge chest is swinging greatly from this little movement. Huge. Tremendously huge. Even Efrika with her tiny breasts looks at this huge chest──
"I′m Meri Jibran! The patriarch of the Jibran family and the granddaughter of old man Mars!" Meri
Declaring impressively, Meri smiles proudly. If my memory is correct, then the Jibran family is the biggest tribe that has settled in Bunna. After all, Meri is also a important person from a royal family like Venu.
"The reason I came here is that my grandpa said there are a lot of delicious dishes here to eat!" Meri
"...... Ha? You want to eat a lot of delicious dishes?" Craft
"Will the specialty of each country come to Dibair? Hehee, it's pleasant!" Meri
As Meri said, the trade in Dibair is certainly active, because we are surrounded by all other countries......
"Are people from Bunna stupid? With such a thing, it isn't necessary to get married at all!" Venu
"Nnn? You certainly said something strange again...... I said it's fine, so go already old man! Naahaahaahaa!!" Meri
In short even if it's coaxed by a patriarch into not having the intention for the person himself, is it a reason? With Meri′s purpose, Bunna also wants a political marriage.
"I can't understand a race that eats insects! Please do not come near to me!" Venu
"You will get accustomed to insects. Like the Bippa Aremajiwaros parasite or explosive spiders" Meri
"Seriously, please stop talking. Now, let's continue with the last person" Craft
Escape from the phrase that wakes up a provoking memory, I talk to the following candidate. The last three were from Baretoria, Isamura and Bunna, so is the last one from Kurinos?
"Is there someone remaining? Did you forget someone important?" Venu
I ignored Venu who flickers at the corner of my sight and look at another woman. She has two horns on her head. As expected a demi-human──
"Kurinos representative, would you like to? I′m sorry for letting you wait. Now please introduce yourself" Craft
The same red eyes as me and Efrika. Her pretty dark, shoulder-long purple hair is messy at the back. She has sharp dragon-like eyes and pink lips. I can't separate my mind from her fine skin seen from far away and it shines more beautifully by the light that is coming through the window. She is my type. Seen short her figure is also outstanding and if it's decided only by the appearance simply from everyone in this place, then it will be this woman.
"Wait! What's with me? Isn't it still my turn?" Venu
"Naahaahaahaa! Venu is ignored like cancer!" Meri
"M, My name is Venusera! Correct it!" Venu
The only strange point of this woman, might be her clothes. The leather boots and pants are seen somewhere. Her ragged overcoat and the goggles around her neck are like my own appearance. A person from royalty would wear such clothes...... she seem to disguise herself as me.
"...... Jiii" Purple girl
"Wh, what are you staring so much. It's slightly scary" Craft
"Huhh. That insensible critter didn't notice yet" Purple girl
This dark purple haired girl is sulky somehow and throws a glance at me. Guessing from her way of talking, have I met her somewhere before? Somehow this stinky tone of this woman...... is feeling familiar and pleasant.
"Even if it's unpleasant when we meet later, it was necessary to have said it this morning. Thats forgotten, in the end no one understands──its fine. Therefore only I'm aware of it" Purple girl
The beast woman inhales greatly, before she strikes the desk and stood up. What was said this morning? Perhaps she...... ? No, is it as expected?
"By no means will that skink lizard be such a beauty──" Craft
"My name is Kaitos. My specialty is eating. By the way, I also can grow which is highly praised" Kaitos
".................. Ou?" Craft
Strange. Although there was a self-confidence in approximately hearing acuity, I heard it false.
"Ah, I′m sorry. I heard it wrong. Can you say it once again please" Craft
"My name is Kaitos. My specialty is eating. By the way, I also can grow which is highly praised" Kaitos
"Eh, shellfish and vinegar?" Craft
"Different. It's Kaitos" Kaitos
"And your highest praise is your chest growth?" Craft
"Not only my chest. My face and hips, I grow up anywhere Craft wishes for" Kaitos
"Eh? Ser...... serious Kaitos? Are you the glutton, greedy Kaitos?" Craft
"Yes, that's certainly me. With that, it's enough talk for now" Kaitos
"Ah is that so? Are you really Kaitos? Huh...... that Kaitos......" Craft
"...... Craft?" Kaitos
"Whaaaatttttt!!" Craft
I! That Kaitos! This beauty my type! My heart is beating!
"What's the matter, Prince! Ca, Calm down! HiiーhhiiーHhuu!!" Delrogello
"UoaaAAAAAAAA!! Kill! Someone kill meeee!" Craft
I hit my head five times against the teacher's desk and 10 times against the blackboard. Nevertheless, my thoughts turned back to normal without accident and my irritated and bitter heart ran wild.
"Kaitoooooss!! Ho, How dare you to trick me! Tricking meee!" Craft
"What are you saying Craft, I didn't trick you. Not noticing is stupider" Kaitos
No No No! I would be aware if I made a contract with a mythical beauty!
"Or rather, why are you the representative of Kurinos country? Explain!" Craft
"You probably know that I was born in Kurinos. There is no problem at all" Kaitos
"Even if I know...... I blame you. Confusing me suddenly" Craft
The damage will only increase if I think further about it. I abandoned that thought and talked again. Until now, the other bride candidates should not have any distrust......
"Why this person...... ? After all, my misunderstanding...... ?" Craft
"The guess doesn't attach at all though I don't know what you want to do either. Umu, in case of this, I don't seem to be able to win easily" Kaitos
"Naahaahaahaa! Craft
Apparently it was unnecessary to have worried. These guys are likely to come off somewhere comparatively.
"Craft-niisama, hitting his head to that extent...... isn't it painful?" Leona
"Waa...... you're worried" Efrika
To who is Efrika′s sigh that leaked out turned to? It isn't me, uh. Perhaps she is honest.
"Now! Only I remain in this!" Venu
"Everyone, thank you for the self-introductions. Each personal good" Craft
I cracked my hands and the eulogy is sent to the prospective brides who are gathered in this place. Although there was a candidate who doesn't anticipate it either, there should have been a harvest more than the imagination.
"Wait! What is with my turn? I′m Venusera Lloyd Bareto......" Venu
"Formal one stop. People like you want to face me which is the truth" Craft
Speaking frankly, a little while ago, I faced this place with a somewhat amused feeling. Finally, the options everyone chose are left to the corner of my head. However, it is different now. Euphoria that has been forgotten for a long time──resides in my chest like a flame that is heating up.
"All five bride candidates──follow me tightly" Delrogello
My dear cousin Efrika with whom I have an inseparable relationship and made a bet. Samurai Musashi who is a former princess and wants revenge from me. The huge breast girl Meri who loves to eat. And the Admol dragon Kaitos who has a woman's face now.
"5 people? Maa! It is praiseworthy to include me in the number neatly!" Venu
............And Venu. Well, there will be a lot of elements that, for better or worse, become interesting even by one. Such a fellow who scratches and turns unexpectedly will easily pilfer the win.
"The chance is given equally. I also will make an effort to meet each one of you" Craft
These guys are interesting, so I will bring them close to completion with my own hand in the future...... but sooner or later only one will be chosen. Surely beyond my imagination, but it is likely to become the best companion.
"Regardless, the selection period seems to be one month...... it is enough in case of that much" Craft
I look forward to approaching them at that time──
"Now! Let's gather together everyone! Our first class!" Craft
One quiet person smiled. Although at the beginning he often said what is essential, I think that just so. Therefore, I declared at the class beginning in a cheerful voice that I'm not accustomed to. I say that's the compromise to the bride candidates. Gentle feelings that I want to build a harmonious relation with them.
"Nevertheless, Nevertheless, what do we do with this person......" Kaitos
The classroom became quiet and a man under the teacher table holding his knees. The room was silent, so I'm left alone──I become timid.
"Nii-san, until when will you be sulky?" Efrika
Efrika′s voice is heard through the teacher's desk. Including me only Efrika, Leona and Kaitos remained in the classroom. Everyone else went out and left me behind.
"Finish this business until afternoon class. Everyone else returned to the dormitory......" Efrika
"Shit, say that from the start! Thanks for scratching at my disgrace!" Craft
"B, But Nii-sama. Everyone has a misunderstanding!" Leona
"Ah, Leona! Leona Leona Leona! You're my only ally!" Craft
"Hun, Craft, you idiot. Come out quickly. Before I tear your head into pieces" Kaitos
I′m led by the investigation of Leona′s sweet voice and stand up after one hour. I saw how Kaitos glared at me, but it lacks force as always.
"How was Kaitos able to become Kurinos's representative again? Didn't Kurinos send someone from the royal family as marriage partner?" Craft
"The princess of Kurinos who was the true marriage partner defaulted. An bombing incident occurred when a smuggler was captured, so they seemed busy with the process afterwards...... huhuu" Kaitos
"Hee, are you serious. We only stayed a little there before we went home......" Craft
I heard that in the past Kurinos received great damage from demi-human hunting by an smuggler from a foreign country. Since then, half of the nation isolated and don't trust any foreigner...... so I had a hard time when we stayed there.
"Which reminds me, we were the guys who caught that smuggler. Didn't that become an excellent commotion?" Craft
"Yes. When we cornered the criminal, we destroyed the royal castle of Kurinos by mistake" Kaitos
"Immediately after, I ran away on Kaitos from the bunch of people that chased us and we left that place......" Craft
What? That means Kurinos's redemption for the bombing incident is...... impossible?
"That's the correct answer, Nii-sama. However, did you really rage so much?" Leona
"As I thought! However I think you had a good intention...... Well... it's ... that! So, How about it?" Efrika
"It's fine, Kurinos isn't angry. Rather than that, they wish to express their gratitude for annihilating a malignant crime group and no one was wounded by that incident" Kaitos
Hearing that, the sweat on my back drew back. Seriously at that moment, I thought my heart stopped.
"Fufufu, with such circumstances I got the role as Kurinos representative. There won't be a complaint" Kaitos
"It was almost my responsibility that the role as the representative was vacant, so I have the right to complain. But do as you like Kaitos" Craft
"Without saying, that's my intention. My charm is more than enough to charm you" Kaitos
"Charm...... ? Come to think about it Kaitos, since when can you transform into this cute form?" Craft
"I change my form by the situation. For the current one, this human state is necessary" Kaitos
"Therefore, you precisely take the form of my favorite type" Craft
Doing it with knowledge, I can't be angry when he does such a perfect transformation. No, particularly can I be angry because I was cheated? Perhaps, I may depend on it......
"We Admol dragons are soul mates with our contractor. So it's easy to look into the contractor's mind" Kaitos
"Soulmate? Now that you mention it, such a thing was said before. Do you also die if I die?" Craft
On the contrary, I won't die if Kaitos dies. Quite a strange story.
"I agree. Therefore, I′m potentially together with Craft" Kaitos
"I do not mind it, you don't really have to be a bride candidate right? You and I are already like family, so do not hesitate to go near me." Craft
"Efrika, Leona...... did you hear the current remark? This is this man's fault" Kaitos
"My sympathy, Kaitos. Nii-san who hides his embarrassment is hopeless" Efrika
"Eh? Is his embarrassment hidden now? Mumuu, in the bargaining of love, the interior seems to be deep!" Leona
What is said that is confusing? I particularly said something ridiculous. Besides, marriage between me and Kaitos is impossible. Because that guy──
"...... By the way Leona, I have a question to you, the judge" Craft
"Au, a question?" Leona
"Although it's good that you participate as a judge from now on...... but won't there be many harsh things?" Craft
Those candidates had a light tone in the self-introduction...... because political marriage is entwined, while we should think that they come here shouldering the destiny of their country.
"You choose, so you possibly will do something. The kind of imitation where I flatter you, the judge, to grasp your weakness......" Craft
"I don't care. I, I want to work hard for my important elder brother!" Leona
My words are interrupted by Leona who shouts powerfully.
"I′m sickly for a long time...... which is pathetic, because I only make trouble for Craft-niisama and Efrika-anesama. The, Therefore only this time, I will be Nii-sama′s strength by all means!" Leona
Leona′s eyes that look up at my face show a strength of unwavering will to keep the secret. Foolish Leona, for thinking that your existence is annoying for me and Efrika. For us, you──are our dear important younger sister.
"...... Understood. Okay, I recognize. Your resolution is firmly received" Craft
I don't oppose any longer. If Leona decided to rush into action voluntarily, I want to watch it as her elder brother. The role as good older brother suits me well.
"My goodness, you′re extremely obedient. That's unusual for Craft-niisan" Efrika
"What are you thinking about me? I′m clearly the prince who has a proper heart" Craft
There is no persuasive power in this thin remark and both Efrika and Kaitos smile wryly while looking at each other. Does only Leona believe me in that situation, because she stares at me with bright eyes.
"Now, the thing that I wanted to ask you was heard, so do we go eat slowly?" Craft
Crushing some time in the classroom, it gradually became time for lunch. And because I shared my breakfast today, did my stomach became empty earlier than normal?
"Tentatively there is a dining room in Bremfai, but it is crowded because it's combined with the dormitory" Efrika
"That's fine. I don't want to live a student life, though I′m a bit interested in the dining room" Craft
I′m aware of the things around me, because I received education from a private tutor inside the castle. Because of having no friends, I grew up to such a bitter man...... and I always thought that I want to experience the culture of a school when I have the chance.
"Then, I'll follow Nii-sama!" Leona
"Ou, then let's eat the set meal together. You probably buy meals in the cafeteria with meal tickets" Craft
You buy meals in the cafeteria with meal tickets. A device like a ticket vending machine is installed there and it seems you can choose what you want to eat. Although I don't understand it very well, it seems to be a popular eating method.
"Wait, Nii-san. It's time for Leona′s medicine, so she will return to the castle with me" Efrika
I, who pulled Leona′s hand and try to advance cheerfully, am blocked by Efrika. This third wheel, I want to send her flying given the circumstances, but it can't be done now.
"Oh, thats right. I′m sorry elder brother...... I really believed that we would eat lunch together" Leona
"Don't worry about it, but let's eat dinner together at dinner" Craft
Leona narrowed her eyes happily, when I said so softly. And though we could continue for eternity, my hunger has slowly reached the limit.
"Huhuu, Leona I will make an extraordinary and delicious medical meal" Efrika
"Yess! I am really looking forward to it, because Efrika's meals are very delicious" Leona
"Excellent Leona. Even so, Efrika, Leona is relying on you" Craft
"Of course Nii-san. I look forward to afternoon class" Efrika
"Yes. It will be really enjoyable" Craft
At present, while I see Leona leave the classroom with Efrika, I started to chuckle in my mind.
"Kukuku. The morning was a little confusing, but my counterattack will start later......" Craft
"Wait, Craft. Have you forgotten my existence a while ago?" Kaitos
"Yeah, because I felt that you were a really bad person" Craft
"Stop your nonsense. If you have free time, then let's go to the dining room together" Kaitos
Standing up from her seat, Kaitos walks up to my side. Even if he has a human form on purpose, it is a strange feeling seeing this guy walk on two legs.
"You always eat strange meals. No, but this appearance is the first time...... right?" Craft
"Correct. A meal with a beauty of your type──are you filled with emotion?" Kaitos
"Ha? What are you saying?" Craft
When I first looked at this form, her chest danced, which was nice.
"With any appearance you are still the good old Kaitos. This form is just a little fresh" Craft
"...... Huhuu, I see. Even if it's so, Craft is only mine" Kaitos
Kaitos has a smile on her face and seems pleased. After all, I can't understand this guy.
"Uumu. With a child, will such worry increase?" Craft
"What are you grumbling about? Now, hurry up!" Kaitos
My idea is interrupted while my arm is pulled forcibly and Kaitos opened the door in a hurry. He seems considerably hungry and glares with bright eyes, while dashing out to the corridor.
"Wait Kaitos. I′m really hungry, so do we need to run through this corridor?" Craft
"Hurrying isn't a method. I have my highly praised growth ability" Craft
By the trot, Kaitos advanced in front of me and wearing the same overcoat as me. Hey Hey, we're like lovers who wear the same clothes and chase each other.
"I assume it's fine that you take the shape of a human. But why did you specially dress like me?" Craft
"Efrika had prepared outfits for me. However, frill clothes don't suit me" Kaitos
There is no such thing. On the other hand, when she wears such an dress, she would look marvelous.
"And when I told her to prepare clothes that are easy to move inside like that of the knight leader, these clothes were presented" Kaitos
"Hee, was it so...... does the knight leader has the same clothes as me?" Craft
"Umu. He seems to enjoy dressing a life-size doll. Good Craft" Kaitos
Emm, Kaitos. What was good? To me, the knight leader is a fool, simply exposing his feelings under the daylight.
"Moreover, I′m aware of a heart-breaking reality that Craft has grown up" Kaitos
"I grow up by such a dirty reality" Craft
Kaitos and I keep walking, while joking around with each other. It is a strange feeling talking with Kaitos in his human form, but it is unexpectedly not so bad.
"What do you think Craft? Do you look admiringly at my pretty face?" Kaitos
"What are you saying you pseudo girl. Next you want me to get on you and we do horse riding or what?" Craft
Horse riding is ridiculous. At that time, this guy's annoying face seems very funny.
"Na, aa...... wh, when you get on me...... it will be quicker! I still can't lay eggs yet!" Kaitos
"Ha? It doesn't matter whether you can lay eggs or not. Or rather, you're really oviparous" Craft
"Guuu...... ! You idiooot! You big idiot! Prepare yourself!" Kaitos
"Wa, Wait a moment Kaitos! Don't bite me in your human form!" Craft
In case of various forms of Kaitos, this form is lovely. If such a spectacle is seen, then my whereabouts in Bremfai academy will vanish!
"That's bad Kaitos! I will go ahead!" Craft
"Nuu? Wait! I want to bite you! I want to bite your head!" Kaitos
"What's with your remark!" Craft
I must defend my body from the approaching danger, so I need to run through the passage as good as I can. However, he will surely catch up the way things are going. Although it's a little tiresome...... only I can use it.
"Magic control transmission. Change into thunder magic──leg reinforcement completed. The preparation of my legs has been finished!" Craft
Responding to my voice, a dazzling purple lighting wraps around my feet. With this technique I even surpass the speed of the thunder tiger in the jungle.
"You! Craft, I will remember this! Craaffttt!" Kaitos
I run away from Kaitos′s angry voice by passing through the corridor at full speed. A whirlwind is created and I sometimes passed some students who received the gust from me dashing past them. Although I passed through Leona and Efrika who were chatting happily on the way, they didn't notice me because I was too fast. Leona shouldn't have been surprised by the current impact......
"It finally came into my view" Craft
I felt a little uneasy for a moment, but my destination finally appeared in my sight. I directly entered into Bremfai academy to the place where I received the explanation from Delrogello. There is no crystal workmanship, but a gorgeous crest is carved into the door──this seems to be the entrance of the dining room.
"Alright! I have arrived!" Craft
*Gigiiii* I raise the brake to stop and the floor is burning. Although it's possible to run fast with magic reinforcement, it's a problem how to stop.
"At any rate, I arrived. Let's enter inside quickly" Craft
I saw several students opening their eyes wide and opening their mouths, I disregarded them and gave a lot of care to the door. With a bang is the door opened and I see the whole dining room. Several long tables are lined up in rows and many students come and go in this narrow place. Incredible, many things appeared into my view.
"Regrettable, it's only impressive by the situation. First of all, let's buy a meal ticket" Craft
I′m really excited, so I queue up at the entrance of the line. There are five vending machines, so the line isn't so long. After I restrained my excitement and looked around the dining room, my turn came with surprising swiftness.
"Oo! There is a variety...... so is it expensive for a moment?" Craft
Sova udon only costs 600. Because the real thing isn't seen at all, dining out in the town shouldn't be somewhat pricy. After all, I was perplexed a little, so I choose Leona′s set meal for 900. The fact that there are menus such as Craft set meal, Efrika set meal is as I thought, originated from royal connection.
"I put money in this hole, before I push here...... hou, is this the meal ticket?" Craft
I put out a coin from my purse and throw it into the slot before I pushed the button and a piece of paper has come out. It was a long blue paper with Leona′s set meal printed on it and next, I need to go to the counter.
"Hey, do I only transfer it here?" Craft
I followed the crowd and heard multiple voices of aunts who were busy behind the counter──
"Haiyo...... well! Are you perhaps Prince Craft?" Lunch lady
"Ah, yes. Even so...... how do you know?" Craft
"I already know it! The reason is that you look similar to King Zefirio when he was young! Oh dear! The only difference is the look!" Lunch lady
Seeing my face, the cafeteria aunt seems to be in high spirits now while working. A person who knows my father well when he was young will directly know who am I from my identity.
"One Leona special! Although there seems to be various bad rumors, you need to work hard!" Lunch lady
"Thank you a lot. Well, I work hard moderately" Craft
To some extent, it's pre-made and the set meal put on the plate came out quicker than I expected. When I see the received meal, there are several kind of sandwiches with smoked duck lit in wine and salad and Korun soup that is based on Sorghum. It's a little high-quality, but it isn't quantitatively so bad. A dessert is also attached, which is nice.
"Where do I want to eat now? Hmm, is there an empty place" Craft
At this time, it's crowded and nowhere is a quiet place.
"Oh, there is a free place. Ah, there are some students! Shall I sit next to them?" Craft
I look around and discovered a table with a five people girls group. They are all students from Dibair. Foreign students are considerably awkward and there might be no problem with a fellow Dibair student, so I tried to go towards them......
"Uwaa! That prince, did he really come here?" Girl 1
"It's not just about the training department that tires us, but are you willing to help us?" Girl 2
"If you see as a woman, there is no distinction and even that rumored savage demi-human was real......" Girl 3
Do they think that I don't hear it or do they say it on purpose so that I hear it? Leaving a tasteless sharp remark behind, the girls left the table with a cramped smile. The whole table is purposely presented to me...... no, for a popular man.
"...... Haa, he might cry because he is disliked so much" Girl 4
Although it might be already too late, I thrust the girl′s group aside even if the rumor spreads and I snatched a seat away by force. I don't really like to sit on a seat that became vacant after all, but I don't want to walk around in the spare time to find another table either......
"Heeyy! Senseiii! Here Here! Heree!" Meri
"Hmm? This voice has a Bunna accent...... Meri?" Craft
The voice belongs to Meri, the representative of Bunna and a student of the bride training study. She sat all alone at a table that is overflowing with dishes that are put there.
"OiOi, do you eat that all alone" Craft
"Hehee. Did you search for a place to eat? In that case, here is free!" Meri
Meri moved the pile of empty dishes aside noisily to the edge of the table. There is more than enough space for one person. Let's depend on her goodwill obediently.
"Then I will sit here. Meri, are you alone here?" Craft
"Yes. I normally eat more than others! That's why there is always so much space. Naahaahaahaa!!" Meri
It becomes insufficient for a moment without thrusting it.
"That's regrettable. There would be a lot of people who wanted to go with you......" Craft
Naturally, Bunna's students are supposed to be enrolled in Bremfai.... . but something is strange. Although the Bunna people stand out from their characteristic clothing and brown skin, they are not found nearby. Rather, there are no Bunna students in the dining room.
"Ah...... Actually I've been calling a couple of times already, but I wish I could see them eating this amount in the people of the same town. Ahahaa, I'm going to be tipped off by my grandfather" Meri
Meri whispers to me and hypocrites so that no one around can′t hear it. Along with that, her huge boobs are hitting my shoulder──uh, let's keep silent.
"I think that there is nothing to be seen at the time of occupying this desk, but it's okay" Craft
"Let's keep this a secret Sensei! Around this time Oji-san is noisy that I must lose weight" Meri
"Lose weight?, You're slim enough. You're slim, except for a part" Craft
As for her chest, I cannot say anything because I tasted the volume just now. *MuniMuni* is far from *FunyonFunyon* soft feeling...... thank you Meri.
"Naahaahaahaahaa! Gentle teacher! Say that to my grandfather someday!" Meri
Meri feels good about my words and returned in a good mood to her meal. Because she ate this amount, I was clearly suspicious if she can gobble it up......
"Oh, you eat cleanly unexpectedly. Besides, you're well mannered" Craft
"Hehee. It is bad for the people who made the meals and even if it is a delicious food I would like to thank them. But if it's this kind of etiquette, I think the people from Isamura are far better" Meri
"Isamura? I have visited several times, but it was certainly only stiff people" Craft
When eating, they especially sit straight and eat with a wood branch called chopsticks. At first it was hard to get used to it. Well, that is a good memory for now.
"Well, there is no chance to see it here. Even though there are Isamura students, there are no chopsticks......" Craft
"That's not the case. Hey sensei, over there" Meri
Meri spoke and pointed at something, while I lead my sandwich to my mouth. When I look at it, there is a vacant space in one place in the flow of the crowd. Apparently, there is a person who is kneeling on the floor and eats its meal.
"...... If I′m not mistaken, then its Sasaki Musashi from our class" Craft
"Because I can see her too, I don't think it's a mistake, Craft-sensei" Meri
Under the roar of the loudly groaning public, the samurai of Isamura was eating in a dignified sitting position. Because she is originally a princess, her posture is fondly even if I see it.
"Umu. Dibair′s river fish is fat and really delicious......" Meri
Does she use chopsticks that she brought with her and the spectacle that only the grilled fish is neatly made to the bone is amusing...... and frequent exclamation voices were leaked from the surrounding people.
"She is very old-fashioned. I never saw anything that is so frightening" Craft
"Its funny. I want her to teach me how to use chopsticks" Meri
*Nichichi* Meri laughs. Occupying a desk here and Musashi′s mat are standing out. In this way, I will notice the food scenery of the remaining girls.
"Hey Meri, have you seen Venu?" Craft
"Hmm? Which reminds me have I seen Venu?" Meri
You haven't seen her? It's hard to believe that rowdy woman is eating alone......
"By the way, why is Craft-sensei alone? You're the prince of this country" Meri
"That's a very good question, but I think you'll see the reaction around us" Craft
"The surrounding reactions? What?" Meri
"Everybody always looks at me and talks behind my back. That's the way it is" Craft
Even female students disliked to sit with me at a table escape away from me and hate me. Thus, Bremfai science and magic academy is bad. Most of them are students of the aristocracy class, so they don't harass me directly...... it wasn't a good mood, a while ago.
"Hoh, you're disliked sensei. Did you do something wrong?" Meri
"It is bad that I didn't do anything. Because I left my own country" Craft
"Nahahaa! Is that something like that!? It seems tough to be a prince" Meri
"You are the same. Besides that, what do you think of me?" Craft
"Eh? My teacher?" Meri
I′m rumored as the lazy Prince in this continent. Even though everyone seems to be alarmed if they meet me for the first time, Meri's attitude towards me is normal...... no, it's rather favorable.
"Don't you really hate me? You don't have to be too careful──" Craft
"Why do I should hate teacher? It doesn't matter what others think! My impression of actually seeing you isn't bad" Meri
Meri stops her meal and turns a warm smile to me.
"I thought Sensei was an interesting person. So I want to make friends and more!" Meri
"OiOi...... I'm overwhelmed. I'm not going to return this easily" Craft
There was no hesitation and Meri returned the answer that I wanted. To be honest, I was worried whether I could get along with the bride candidates peacefully from now on...... but I don't need to worry. Meri will surely be a nice good mood maker for the class.
"...... Thank you Meri" Craft
"Hmm? Did I do anything to get your thanks?" Meri
There is no awareness and Meri roars loudly. It's natural...... she's a good woman.
"But how much do you want to get along with, aren't you a little too defenseless?" Craft
"Muhou...... biii? U, Uwaaa, I'm sorry! I've been close to you for a while now!" Meri
Remembering that she was pressing her proud chest against, let Meri move away from me confusingly.
"It is different! I didn't mean to come here like that!" Meri
"You suddenly have a pale face......" Craft
Meri shakes her big body while trying to explain something. I opened my mouth to ask the true meaning──that moment.
"Crrrrraaaaaffffftttttttt!" Kaitos
A thundering roar pierces through the dining room like rumbling. I completely forgot the existence of this guy.
"...... Na, Naa Craft-sensei. Somehow he seems angry, isn't he?" Meri
"Yes. To my trouble, he is an emotionally unstable person" Craft
The roar came from the entrance of the dining room. I understand it without looking. Kaitos with his purple hair and sharp fangs is looking for me. If he finds me, it's the end.
"Muu! I found you! There you are Craaffttt!" Kaitos
"Oh, you already found me. Don't do that, Kaitos" Craft
Extraordinary visual acuity or unparalleled sense of smell...... I have been discovered easily.
"Don't move, Craft! I'll bite you right away!" Kaitos
It was early and Kaitos was leaping on the floor. In a straight line like a bullet at a formidable fast speed. Moreover, her mantle shakes in the air and her huge purple wings jump out from the inside. He's slowly returning to the fighting. It may be awful unless you move the place quickly.
"Cool your head, baka Kaitos! Where do you think you are!" Craft
I slipped my body under the desk to evade the gliding Kaitos′s tail by hairsbreadth. As it is, the chair is skillfully passed through and at the same time, the plate with my meal is picked up quickly. Even though I have not eaten my dessert yet, I will be caught!
"Yowaaaaaa!! Whaaaaaattt!" Meri
At the same time I rushed out with my plate, I heard Meri's scream from behind. Probably because I avoided it, Kaitos would have decided to dive into Meri that was next to me. I am a little worried, but with Meri's natural cushion, it's definitely safe.
"Gumee, Craft! W, What the hell is this? *Funifunipoyon*...... oh, soft" Kaitos
"Ahyahyahyaa! Stop tickling me!" Meri
"Damn it, Kaitos! Why do you always do this!" Craft
I rush out of the dining room while enduring the bitter tears that overflow. If I don't hide somewhere and eat my dessert, my head will totally be eaten.
"Where are you, Craft! Damn, he got away!" Kaitos
From behind the door, there are countless roars and Kaito′s disappointing voice was heard. I hope the students don't panic by that uproar...... I guess it's too late.
"No No, it's not a case of people worrying. In this situation, where is the right place to hide?" Craft
I am not aware of the structure of Bremfai and I don't know the perfect hiding place.
"Well, after all, he isn't over there!" Kaitos
By chance, did the onlookers who gather because of the commotion of the dining room build a mass, so I slip through the crowd skillfully and aim at a certain place. There is no way that Kaitos would enter the sanctuary.
"...... It isn't such a big deal" Craft
I turn around the corner of the corridor, where the staff room is at the end. I was saved because I checked it with Delrogello in advance.
"Here! Men's Toilet!" Craft
Women's prohibition. The last paradise that only men were allowed to enter.... . that's the men's restroom. Even though Kaitos is a biologically female, she wouldn't find my scent from her.
"The only thing I dislike is that I don't want to eat my dessert in a place like this" Craft
I think it's a hundred times better than the rest of the Rusanas′s prestigious school.
"I will immediately go to the toilet......" Craft
I open the toilet door with my plate in one hand. At the same time, the door of the women's restroom was opened. Then, a head wrapped in a black hood roughly came out from the door and checked left and right. Hmm? This hood head...... or rather that face──
"Venu, what are you doing?" Craft
"............ Ah" Venu
Venu′s yellow eyes that turned around captured my gaze. To look at her open mouth and her eyes that opened in amazement...... she seems to have received a considerable shock.
"A, Aah! Aaaaah! Rude Princceeee?" Venu
"Oi Oi, looking at a person's face as if he is a monster...... what rude Prince" Craft
"Nananaa! Why are you in such a place!" Venu
"This is in front of the toilet. Aren't you a bit strange?" Craft
"Uu...... t, th...... that's true! I of all people, ohohohohoo!!" Venu
Venu comes out of the toilet while stumbling whether she flinched because of me. Why is she turning both hands behind.
"Are you hiding something behind you?" Craft
"Hahii!! I, I don't know what you're meaning!" Venu
"I don't understand, why are you panicking so much?" Craft
"It's a breach of privacy! Even if it's the prince, it's private......" Venu
"Silent. Just show me!" Craft
It is man's nature to want to see what is concealed. So I get around to Venu′s back.
"Noooo!! What are you doing! You pervert!" Venu
"Saying pervert! Wh, what are you saying...... ?" Craft
What was hidden behind Venu was just a plate. It is the same shape as the meal plate I have, so it was probably gotten in the dining room. So, Venu was eating her meal in this toilet?
"Hee, that's the reason why I didn't see you in the cafeteria" Craft
Because there was a concern to show-off, the students of the home country surely domineer ahead. But the thing that was hidden in the toilet is the opposite, maybe. If you were to control yourself to avoid an uproar──she is a humble fellow unexpectedly.
"It, it was seen...... a, ahahaa, its already over" Venu
Venu collapses with both hands and knees on the floor. Did she received some damage?
"I don't understand it somehow, but don't worry" Craft
"Don't worry about it? You know how I feel about you!" Venu
Venu stares at my face. She has an expression that seems to have begun to weep with large tears in her eyes. Haaa? Was she shocked that I saw the plate?
"No No No! I know nothing, but I'm the same! Look!" Craft
"Eh? You're the same...... ?" Venu
"Look, I also came to eat my meal at the toilet" Craft
I show my own plate in front of Venu. The situation is different, but if she looks at this, Venu will be delighted a bit.
"Ah...... no way, is it really you?" Venu
"Yes. That's why I don't blame you for eating at the toilet, I know how you feel" Craft
"...... M, My feeling known...... ? You, too...... ? Prince, you...... ?" Venu
Shaking and trembling, Venu′s body stumbles. Is this a scrape...... ? The foot is lowered half a step when I think to take some distance instinctively. But to prevent me from escaping, Venu suddenly spreads her hands──
"Waaaai!! You were also a companion!" Venu
In no time, she hugged me. A fluffy and soft feel wraps me and Venu′s joyful voice is heard.
"Oohhoohoohoo! I seem to have misunderstood you a little!" Venu
"Hee? Ah, yes. Thank you" Craft
"It will be hard for each other, but I will do my best. Someday, absolutely, I will admit it!" Venu
"...... ? So, is it?" Craft
Separately I don't want to stand out, but I will keep it here.
"The matter of my name is also the result of sticking to my stubbornness. Huhuu, thinking that way, I have a fondness for people who call me Venu!" Venu
She is willing to do something by herself. It's funny, but what is this disgusting feeling.
"Well then, Craft-sama. I'm looking forward to afternoon class" Venu
"Ah, wait! Can I ask you something?" Craft
I don't know why...... but there was something I wanted to confirm, absolutely one thing. Because it felt that it will clear out what that suspicious feeling in my chest is.
"You──why do you want to marry me?" Craft
"...... Why? That's natural isn't it" Venu
Venu′s clothes flutter around lightly, like a servant──and she put my hand.
"To let the people of Baretoria recognize my existence...... just that" Venu
"To recognize...... you, by any chance?" Craft
"Huhuu, then excuse me. I'll see you later" Venu
Venu has dashed away beside me without stopping. I was glad to be fine, but I blurted out a little bit.
"Make Baretoria′s people recognize her existence? Venu, are you serious?" Craft
Eating her meal at the toilet and the remark from just now, maybe Venu──a certain hypothesis hit my mind. I think it is a ridiculous idea, but I can not explain it otherwise.
"Even though she is a princess...... is she hated by the people?" Craft
There is a mountain of Baretoria′s people in the dining room. If Venu is disliked, it is no mistake that she ran away to the toilet.
"But why is it so? To be disliked by royalty......" Craft
However, there is an example called me and therefore it is not a totally impossible story.
"Is that the meaning why she said we are companions──" Craft
I think and drop my consciousness into the sea of thought. Less than a moment was my guard down......
"Ccrrraaaaffffttttt" Kaitos
As a result, I allowed the creeping sign to approach me from behind.
"............ Ouu, Kaitos. You′re late" Craft
When I realize, it's already too late. My body and both hands are wrapped by her long tail.
"T, Taaaiiilllll!" Craft
Her face and body are still in human state, but with the wings blurring out, she is almost half dragon half human!
"Gugigigii! This amountttt...... !"
Not good! I can't try to escape, because I'm not an enemy for Kaitos′s power who is a former dragon!
"Hahaha, I caught you! I won't let you go! If you move even a little, I can't guarantee your life, Craft!" Kaitos
"If I die, you will die either! Hasty Kaitos!" Craft
More than that, I'm the same as a death row inmate waiting for the final time. I have no choice but to be left to Kaitos.
"I feel relieved, Craft. I won't kill you...... now" Kaitos
Kaitos opens her small mouth while remaining in his half beast state. In his mouth, his sharp fangs are shining and his pink tongue was full with saliva.
"Huhuhu, I will fully savor you" Kaitos
"St, Stooopppp!" Craft
My scream is in vain and Kaitos bites my head. Bite, lick, wet head...... it keeps going forever.
"...... GajiGajiGaji" Kaitos
Like the time when I gave him a feast, Kaitos flaps his wings from being pleased.
"Okay, I will remember this......" Craft
I endure the feeling of wanting to cry and weep and swear my vengeance to Kaitos.
"Huh, idiot. Originally you can't play games against me" Kaitos
"Say whatever you want, Kaitos. I'm a man who always returns the debt" Craft
Ten minutes until afternoon class starts. I falter to the bluff as much as I can, but I say no to a few things.
"Hou? Then, I will make a loan that cannot be returned...... with these fangs" Kaitos
"Ah, hey! Stop! U, Uwaaaa!!" Craft
Ten more minutes. My hell-like lunch break was not to end yet.
