Vol 6 Chapter 3 (1/2)
Always Wanted to Confess to You
Part 1
Nonaka Kurue
Five years before the tragedy attacked the 《 Village 》, while her older sister Yuki learned sword skills one after another increasing her abilities as a MultisaberSkill-Type Swordsman [1], Kuruht now, ae 》, her skill developed to the extent that she could fight with one or two
However──Kuruht now The place that usually serves as a channel for the spirits to lend their poould not open that easily It's because… they have come to the Demon Realm
Wildart is a city which served as stronghold of the Moderates faction In the past, this city was declared as the strongest, ruled by the Deenerations, a luxurious royal castle and bustling castle don Surrounded by the rich nature of the forest Oldora, Nonaka Kuruht noas at the middle of the Fost River which flowed nearby Wildart Castle
”───”
As Kururavels roll, she reached her left palauntlet [2] to reach the water surface of the river, her consciousness was concentrated and the channel for sprits was opened
Simultaneously, in the Soul Purity Arts that Kuruic circle unfolded in the thin air, disturbing the floater in the river A vortex began to gradually occur and grew to a size of a meter, and the water rolled up to the sky As small droplets fell down, Kurumi raised her concentration once radually formed a certain divine beast
A dragon
”……OOoo～!”
Froe rock nearby, the little succubus companion who followed after her raised a voice of admiration ── she's Naruse Maria In front of what Maria is seeing right now,
”───”
Kurumi unexpectedly made a severe expression── At once, the shape of the water which curled upwards lost control, the dragon's shape turned for worse, and the large quantity of water fell down the surface of the river like a waterfall in the sky
”Isn't that a Kurumi-san? Today, compared to yesterday, you're able to use it up to this extent”
”……this isn't that good at all”
To Maria who claps her hands in admiration, Kurumi replied with a frown
──What Kurumi called for was a spirit of a water attribute Usually, Undine and Nereids, and various spirits such as Apsaras [3] lend their powers to Kurumi
But due to the Demon Realm's[4] influence, Kuruht now She should be able to produce an even bigger water dragon if that isn't true, and make them soar into the sky just as it is──but the results ended up to a degree that even a small size wasn't possible to maintain
Even as she appealed to a spirit like usual, their voice and reactions felt very distant Perhaps Kurumi today can only take out half of her powers in comparison to when she's in the human world
Maria gave a bitter smile, then jumped off from the top of the rock and closed the distance to Kurumi Then,
”Well, since training is going to end soon, let's have lunch The maid in the kitchen had made us sandwiches”
Maria opened a big basket held in her hands and showed it to Kuruetables in the inside, the sandwich also have jahtly As expected of a dish fro at a castle indeed, it see
”Isn't this amount a little too much to eat for only two people…?”
”Because Kuruht as it is”
”………”
To the words of Maria, Kuruht──Kuruh she took a seat in the dining roo, she left the seat in a hurry
Kuru that cannot be per, Maria took a seat, laid her back to the grass of the dry riverbed and asked,
”…Are you still angry about Basara-san and Zest-san's Master and Servant Contract?”
She's right──this , Kurumi was told by Basara that he and Zest made a Master and Servant contract
Of course, before co “It's necessary to protect Zest, so a Master and Servant contract should be entle Basara does Kurureed upon However, when she was made to hear that it happened ──Kurumi knew the fact that she admitted him to have a Master and Servant Contract with Zest due to her condition But,
…I can't believe it, to think that even sis or Mio not to say anything…
For Mio as targeted by Zolgear, to even have a connection to the one that murdered her adoptive parents cruelly──She was so to speak was the sole enemy for Mio and Basara As for Zest as a subordinate of such a man to enter a Master and Servant Contract with Basara, even if real thoughts caht that those intentions will never be accepted no matter what
However──after a brief silence, Yuki and Mio approved the contract of Basara Kurumi cried “What!?” immediately, and stood up from her chair,
…But
Kuru more than that Because in the past, she had become undoubtedly an enemy of Basara before Therefore, since Yuki and Mio who have not betrayed Basara accepted it, Kurumi had no choice but to accept
──Still, everybody sees Basara and Zest whoranted, and for sure, the three people: Yuki, Mio and Maria also understood Kuru However, unable to bear the eyes which turned to her right now──as she ca roo each other by chance on the hallway, Kurumi asked Noel the housemaid whether there is a river nearby, and told her this place
──There was a reason why Nonaka Kurumi wanted to come to the river
Before the tragedy that happened five years ago, when Basara was still in the 《 Village 》of the Hero Tribe──Kuruone out to play in a nearby river with Basara and Yuki Fishi+ng together, swis Being the younger one,Kurumi always loved Basara and Yuki, and piled up many wonderful memories with the two people
One tio, she thought that they were lost completely
After the sad reunion five years after, they had fought one tied from the old days, and valued Kuruh it's her mission to live under the same roof as theht that that she could go back to the old days from the bottoether with everyone While re her childhood with Basara and Yuki and their past relationshi+ps, she wanted to make a new memory here, with Mio and Maria added And then──if desired, Kurumi won't even mind even if Zest was there
…However, shea Master and Servant Contract with Basara is a different story
She heard the story that Zest has a power of an S class Bya Master-Servant Contract with Basara, she'll beco herself useful to Basara
…still
Nonaka Kuruht──she doesn't want to lose to Zest
Therefore when Kurue even a little the darkness eleot from Lucia Maria followed behind a little later As Maria finished arranging the sandwich and side dishes on the seat,
”Anyway, let's have lunch first The brain doesn't act properly when hungry, and I think that's not good in various ways”
She said so, beckoning her Therefore,
”………Un”
As Nonaka Kuru the food on that day
The sandwiches the maid had made were delicious
Though they thought that the amount in the basket was too many to fill in two people, partly due to the fact of al, she was able to eat it up with Maria in no ti depressed, if the stoet well in a little while
Was the state of Kuru perceived? Maria said with a smile
”Hey, have you had your meal properly?” ”……Un[5] Thank you”
As soon as Kuru, Maria poured a drink to a cup fro,
”Here, Kurumi-san” ”Thank you……”
As she received it, the tea in the cup raised a warrance froh her nose as she sipped it, Kurumi relaxed her body naturally Then,
”──Did it settle you down a little?”
Maria said with gentle eyes
“Because Kuruic in that in that irritated state, even if you are a part of the Hero Tribe, don't you think that spirits in the Demon Realm would turn cautious and wouldn't answer?”
“I wasn't particularly irritated…”
As Kuruave a bitter smile replied,
”I know that you're bothered with Basara-san and Zest-san… You could relax with a deliciousrather than wasting yourself feeling depressed”
”……un”
Maria was certainly right… to establish an emotional bond with the spirits of the Demon Realm, if you don't believe in it in the first place, it won't start But even as she focused on how she auntlet and fitted in the slot, for spirits of highly compatible attributes it was duller than usual
…However
Even though things appear this way, there is still an improvement Yesterday, when they have only just arrived in the Demon Realm, elements completely become corrupted due to the evil influence, and she wasn't able to feel any spirits from within
So Kururee was because of that woave the dark element which made contacts with the spirits of the Demon Realm made easier
”…What do you think about my older sister?”
While looking at the element of the dark color that fitted into the slot, Kurumi replied
”Toith her, I'm thankful However, isn't she the adjutant of Ramses who dislike Mio?”
”it is so… that ood terive me a special treatment, it’s difficult just to think about it”
Hh, Maria said
”Possibly, sheto Kurumi personally, don't you think?”
”How… I, what part did your sister took a liking in particular?”
”Oh my ── then don't you have any ideas?”
”There is no way, right?”
Kurumi replied with an immediate answer, then
”……Hmm, is that so?”
Maria uttered in a casual tone,
”──then I'll tell you”
She replied, pushi+ng down Kurumi on her seat
”Wai- Maria…?”
Kurumi uttered and cried in surprise, but her clothes were unbuttoned until the front was opened up all the way by Maria's experienced hands And, as Maria reached out her hands and took off the hook of Kurumi's skirt,
”I heard it Kurumi-san…in the office of Lucia ane-sama yesterday”
”!────”
Startled and gasping for breath, in that small opportunity even the hook and the zipper was opened, and the skirt of Kurued down
”Wa-Waitthat…is not it……!”
Though Kuru red, before the physical strength of Maria who is a power type, her resisting at this level became futile afterwards,
”I, until now, have been cooperating so that Kurumi-san could catch up to Yuki-san and Mio-san Nevertheless, Doing it with Basara-san in front of Lucia Ane-sa that it's because of you stealing glances at Basara-san that it happened, is it true?”
Maria asked, stripping off Kuruether with her brassiere
Yaa……I, idiot!”
Kurumi tried to cover her chest with both hands in a hurry, but Maria bound both of her ar Kurumi raise both of her hands on the top of her head And, revealing the good things that the both hands were blocking, while Maria slowly unclothes the socks and shoes of Kurumi one by one,
“Fufu, Kuruht, didn't you say such things right?”
”but, tha-that’s because…”
Without regarding the hesitation of what she wants to say, Maria continued unclothing Kurumi──and then,
”Aah……”
Kurumi raised a voice that seemed to faint at last
With her upper body naked, she has been left with only her panties Exposing her skin under the blue sky which reddened in shyness, Maria looked doith eyes that seenited her succubus instinct, and took off her own clothes too Then, as she ended up only in her panties similar to Kurumi,
“For Kurumi to be liked by Lucia ane-sama, I' Really now…… there is no need to be reserved in these sort of things for me”
Maria h
”──Now I have to punish you for this”
She said, and began prying open her both legs
”No……Maria……”
Though Kurumi tried to refuse desperately, she wasn't in a state to resist as both of her hands were bound up As she entwined her legs around, Kurumi's modest chest was rubbed lasciviously by Maria's own chest──and now,
”ah, Aaahh……AaaaaAaahh♥”
Kuruht of the touches of love of the succubus Maria is unbelievable Additionally, Kurumi, to the whisper of the devil called Maria to catch up to Mio and Yuki, indecent things have been done to her almost every day by Maria in the Toujou house
Of course, Kurumi's body coh she didn't enter a Master and Servant Contract in particular, her body has made sensitive almost the same as Mio and Yuki recently
”Yaaah……I, such thing……, outside……”
Though ashamed, her body treh her whole body Then,
”It's all right…… I'llwho doesn't lose even to Mio-sama and Yuki-san”
Maria replied, then tried to lick her cheeks this time
”Ah ──…”
I can be a woht so, she accepted Maria's unreasonableness, and as Kurumi became weak to pleasure,
”Fufufu…… other than Basara-san, who in the world is it that Kurumi likes? I'll make you remember properly”
Maria, while expressing a sadistic smile, put her lips near her left side quietly
And then ── the next ht,
”! ──FUaaaaaaaaahhhnn ♥”
Nonaka Kuru her peak under the blue sky, raised a flirtatious voice as her body treht
Part 2
Doing an exciting act outside, Maria was more intense than usual
Caressing Kurumi's body dearly until she's co pleasures of a woman badly until Maria is satisfied Therefore, it has not beco taken a break till the sun sets, the two people returned to the Wildart Castle
And now, heading for the bathroom, Kurumi stepped her foot inside She couldn't return for the reason of having a sh she washed it at the river with Maria, her body had become a little chilly by that cause
If she caught a cold with this, she herself will become an even more burden to everyone
She wanted to avoid such pitiable situation,
……Besides
Because she has taken such an attitude on that breakfast, it is still difficult for her to face everyone
Especially ── Basara and Zest, as she didn't kno she should receive them
Though she couldn't keep on running away forever, she wanted to delay it a little more… and as Kurumi parted with Maria at the hallway, she took off her clothes in the dressing rooe indoor bath
Then, though it's still early for dinner, Kuruures of somebody who came ahead of her in the wash place[7]
It was Yuki and Mio
”Ah……”
The moment Kurumi raised her voice in awareness, the two people who have been washi+ng their own bodies noticed her To Kurumi who had an aard expression in a entle expression at once
”Welcome back Kurumi…”
”Maria seeone to you, did that child cause you trouble?”
They greeted with a smile It was an expression that didn'tat all ── for this reason, as Kuruetically,
”…Both of you, I'”
She spoke words of apology while bowing her head
”Although elder sisters had agreed upon the contract of Basara……Of all things, I did such behavior”
And as Kuruentler than herself with pure intentions
”And on how Mio… after all that things Zolgear has done to you, still accepted it”
”There isn't anything for Kuruize I also, a about it with Basara beforehand, to tell you the truth s are too complicated understand even for myself after all (!)
As Mio gave a wry but gentle smile,
”Hey, sit here”
She moved the bath chair and placed it down next to them
The space between Mio and Yuki had become available However, Kurumi couldn't sit down on that chair Between these two people… it was the seat si Kurumi became emotional, as it was the place which she ran away from Then,
”…………”
To Kuruently pulled her hand towards that place
Then, having got the permission, Kurumi sat down carefully
”Kurumi…… your body is a little cold”
Noticing her body temperature, Yuki uttered Kurumi nodded deeply
”…Because I entered to the river outside a little while ago”
”Then, step in the bathtub early to get warm……we'll continue the talk over there”
In the suggestion of Mio,Kuruain, and washed down her body in hot water
And then── Kuru herself in the hot water, sandwiched between the two people Wrapped up in tender war them for a bit
……Ah
To each hands that were feeling the stone bottoently
”──About Basara and Zest, there is a reason that I permitted it”
Making an introduction, Mio on the left said,
”The reason that I permitted the contract of those two, is all thanks to Yuki and Kurumi-chan”
”… elder sister and I?”
”That's right Yuki and Kuruainst ether Though it was all thanks to Basara's assistance, it is really dangerous if you think about it, no e of hi us?”
However,
”Yuki and Kuru…… because you believe that Maria and I won't ever harht?”
”Well that's……”
To her hesitation to voice out her affirmation, Mio smiled, then,
”I a Basara, Yuki and Kuruht you as such too”
And,
”Whileher lack of intention of harht that it's possible to approach her in the sa as a uard, when you see her who is looking at Basara with eyes which see her”
”Mio's former self……?”
”Yes… After father and h various circumstances There was a time that I even couldn't put my trust on anyone aside from Maria──a man above all in particular”
Mio stated with a face as if reentle expression
”However… to us who approached and deceived hi about our circumstances, he chased us all the way in order to help us At that time, Yuki advised Basara not to be involved with me anymore…”
But, Mio;
”Basara said that that he will still protect me… and Yuki will remain as his an iot what happened five years ago, so if the Hero Tribe who protects this world can’t protect me, then it will be his duty”
That's what I thought…at that time
”if it's Basara and Jin-san, I believe that they are reliable Such thing as Zolgear, our trusted lawyer, the men in town, there are no such man as them Like a true family… like Onii-chan, they are people who think of me importantly”
Therefore,
”Thinking about it, it was so wonderful that I cried”
To the expression that Mio showed,
”──────”
Once irl named Naruse Mio towards Basara That profile too, that she had gazed ever since she was young──Yuki was also the same when she yearned for him
”For Zest as entrusted to the Moderates, Sheera's existence, probably, was just like Maria's case forneeded that fellow, Zest met Basara too, and like that──he was needed Yuki and Kuruh various ways, Basara and I altogether accepted you in the end And, Basara, with the sa to help Zest”
Therefore,
”For this reason, I have to accept Zest… I think”
”Even she is the subordinate of the enemy who murdered your parents?”
Kuru with a ”yes”, Mio;
”But supposed that…If Zest was the one who killed ive her But she's not… and as for opposing us, it was only in accordance with Zolgear who is her creator and as his subordinate Then, it is just the sa threatened on the pretext of Sheera-san's safety In addition, Zolgear as the ood terms with each other all of a suddeneach other little by little, I think we can”
It was the statement that made them accept the Master and Servant Contract of Basara and Zest from the bottom of their hearts Then,
”…elder sister?”
Looking towards the opposite direction, Kurumi asked,
”My thoughts haven't changed ever since five years ago”
Yuki said in a smooth tone
”Even this tier'
And,
”Basara right now, in the sao, has been desperately protecting everybody… My hts are the same as I, they may be accepted as a companion separately But if it’s the opposite──”
Suddenly, Yuki stared with cold eyes,
”──if there is an existence which seriously tries to hurt Basara, who ever that is, I won't forgive them Even it is Zest…or even Mio and Maria”
Mio who heard it leaked a wry susted, it was a bitter smile that felt a certain kind of hope
──However, Kurumi wasn't able to smile Instead, she asked in a soft voice
”………Even me?”
”………As I said I would not permit any existence to seriously hurt Basara”
Therefore, the hand which was held in the hot water was clenched Then, she gently embraced her
”Elder sister……”
Kurumi in which her waist was held in, looked up at Yuki before her eyes with a little surprise,
”Until now, and also from now on──I know best that such behavior is i with Takashi+ and shi+ba before, even though you said that you hate him so much, you didn't seriously try to kill Basara till the end”
Yuki sently pat her head From there, Mio,
”…You know, after Kuruo to Kurumi's place by the river afterwards to have lunch later on?”
”? Un…”
Saying in a significant tone, Kurumi nodded to her question,
”That, you see, if someone were to take Kurumi back, she should be the most suitable… well, this was because Maria volunteered for the position”
To this extent, the lunchbox was brought intentionally As for being worried about her she understood it, but,
”Maria… she has a reason why she did it that way”
After co that was close to Kurumi
For her worries, she was grateful, though she had been pushed down forcibly at the end, she certainly thought that she would intend to leave it unsettled for pleasure as always, but,
”…then, perhaps, even now…?”
In the Toujou Household, well, Maria had often entwined with Kuru that on purpose for the sake of Kururatitude to Maria,
”But, Maria's just like that, losing her cal to chase behind Kuruh Kurumi-chan couldn't understand the Master and Servant Contract with Zest at once and left, that person said ”I ht face”
Mio's voice said with a smile
”Eh……?”
To Kuruain in reflex,
”Well, we saying such things had gotten an adverse effect… and thus Maria went So…”
Fufu, Mio laughed,
”We then were able to leave Kurumi-chan as it is Maria asked the maid for a box lunch, then went to Kurumi-chan's place as soon it was ready It took her soht now for the current Kuru to the Deinal powers It is for so to do in the meantime”
Therefore,
”Even though you didn't call out, so as to er, Maria cauy who chased after Kurumi immediately──did you not notice?”
”Basara, to me?”
”Yes By the way, the maid who prepared the lunchbox which Maria took… Who do you think it is?”
”──────”
To the i Then,
”Kurumi… as you come out from here, to those two”
”………Un”
To the question urged by Yuki, Kurumi nodded obediently
I'll apologize to the two people properly, and give thely in her heart
Part 3
Kururatitude to Basara and Zest during dinner
Before the two, Kurus It's because
──Basara and Zest didn't show up at the dinner table
Basara didn't only just entered a Master and Servant Contract with Zest last night Regarding Kuruh Mio didn't know the reason either, it is said that Basara made a conflict with Ramses as the present top of the moderates
His chasing of Kuru has becooing outside the Wildart Castle Basara was forbidden froht, so he was unable toin front of his roo in and out
In addition, Zest ht to Kuru the kitchen in defiance of the original order i the archives
──Nore problem
But, even though there was Sheera'smade contract with Basara without notice to Ramses, Claus and the other h Sheera talked to Ranore the matter of the Master and Servant Contract, Basara had done another proble to Zest which became his subordinate In other words,
…both of them, were my faults……
Night at Wildart Castle──as the ht creeped in behind the courtyard, Nonaka Kuruuest rooirl, taken care of Mio and Yuki, until she beca at this courtyard
