Volume 1 Chapter 4 (1/2)
Good grief I have suffered quite a lot since co here
One hour had passed since then Slowly rubbing the pain in his back away, Kah the courtyard of the academy
Although he had not been turned into cinders after receiving a hit from that flame whip, maybe Claire had held back soe the fact that it was quite painful
Claireharshly admonished by Ms Freya in the punishment room
Having eluded those female classmates who had enthusiastically pursued him, Kamito finally obtained a moment of peace
Unlike other students, he had no classes for the afternoon After all, he had entered the school just now and had not registered for the courses
Areishi+a Spirit Academy operated on a credit system in which the students could freely choose their preferred courses so long as they could meet the requirements Because of the enormous diversity of the contracted spirits of the students, a uniform curriculum wouldn't be able to fully develop the potential of each and every princess maiden
”For the ti tomorrow”
Kamito finally reached his specially prepared dormitory, a hut erected on the side of the stable
Its appearance now looked even worse than when it was seen from theOn top of that, it had the smell of cattle
The door opened with a squeak Kamito timidly stepped in
”Hly, it's not too bad”
Kamito expressed his impression of the interior
First of all, the bed was clean Looking from the inside, the room itself was spacious Straw bed, table, chair, cabinet and other furniture were prepared after all Cooking utensils were present as well Anyhoouldn't be too troubleso here
Kah it prickled his back a bit, the sood for a comfortable sleep
”Oh, well, no matter how I look at it, I just need to endure it for two months”
Lying still on the bed, Kamito fixed his eyes on his left hand, covered by the black leather glove
Two months from now, the Blade Dance would be held in Astral Zero
Before that, he must find four more teammates in order to enter the contest
It was not clear what Greyworth would have him do
But there was so he had to check with his own eyes
A name that was deeply tied to the fate of his own self
Participating in the contest of the Blade Dance 3 years ago, the Strongest Blade Dancer
That acco her was a spirit of darkness that took the forirl
Who on earth were they?
Ren Ashbell shouldn't exist in this world anymore Besides Greyworth, only a very small number of people were aware of this
Even though one was just an iest Blade-Dancer by fraud, it couldn't be for this reason that the witch took thisa huge secret
No matter what, to find out the truth, the only as to directly cross blades with her in the Blade Dance in two months
”But, in your current state, you won't be able to defeat her” Greyworth had said
That isBut surely she was not telling the truth either
In the end, it all comes down to 'the current state'
But in ain as lost in the past three years
Guu, suddenly his storowled
Feeling exhausted, Kamito lowered his arm that was raised towards the roof
After all, he had not had anything to eat since wandering into the Spirit Forest this
However, he decided to endure his empty stomach
The reason was that he was out of h there were restaurants for the students in the acadeh This had already passed the level of a school for high class ladies, a school for princesses indeed
What's the point of one cup of soup being as expensive as a normal folk's salary?
”It can't be helped Maybe I'll ask Ellis to show me around the academic town tomorrow”
One should be able to find cheaper and delicious restaurants in the academic town at the foot of the hill
With the cooking utensils, he could also just buy the materials and cook it on his own For the fire all he needed to do was to go to the Spirit Forest and catch some low level fire spirits
”Bacon and ood”
He gotabout food
”Should I go to the Spirit Forest and collect some mushrooms now?”
As he started to seriously entertain that thought, from somewhere, the smell of delicious soup flowed in
”Hmm?”
Frowning, Kaot up from the bed
It seeap of the half opened door
Twitching his nose to inhale the smell, Kamito opened the door
In front of hiave off white steam
Filled with a lot of onions and chicken with bones, the soup looked delicious
”As, or is this the kindness fro misfortune?”
Drawing a blank because of the hunger, Kamito reached out with his hands towards the boithout any suspicion
Suddenly the bowl rose up a bit
He stretched out his hand again
Once again the boas raised
Then in front of the Kamito was the face of that princess with platinum-blonde hair
Her name should be Rinslet Laurenfrost if he remembered correctly
Behind her, the girl Carol in a maid's uniform stood courteously
”What's theof this?”
Kamito asked with half-closed eyes[1]
”Fuu, you ht? Kazehaya Kamito?”
”Yeah”
Kamito nodded honestly
”Bark, woof, and then swear that you will be my slave, and I'll let you have this bowl of soup”
Rinslet held the bowl still, and puffed up her large chest
”I refuse Bye Bye”
Bang
”Ahh, wait, wait a second Listen to what I say, you insolent person”
Bang! Bang! The door was kicked repeatedly
It would be troublesoain
”What's that? Are you going to let me have the soup now?”
”Right away if you lick ain!”
Rinslet quickly stuck her foot into the gap of the door, like a veteran debt collector
”Ouch! That hurts!”
That looked painful What the hell was she here for anyway?
”Are you alright, milady?”
Worried about Rinslet, the Maid, Carol, asked
Kalared at him with tears in her eyes
”How can you be so insolent after I offered my hands of kindness towards you?”
”No, you Hands of kindness?”
It appeared that she was serious Slowly, Ka
(Sheesh, all the princesses of this academy are so troublesome)
Kamito complained inside his mind
”Ah—”
After Rinslet got a glimpse of the inside of the hut, her face started to twitch
”Ah, you, why are you living inside a stable?”
”The stable is next door This is my dormitory Home is where you make it”
”Stop looking at me with such pity It makes me feel sad”
Her face looked like that she was seriously concerned about it Kamito's attitude softened a little bit
”Rather than living in a condition like this, you should come to my house I'll specially hire you as a servant”
”Ah, reat if we dress him as a maid”
Carol showed her support with a big sirl is troublesome as well)
Well, even so, it seeenuinely worried about his circumstances
”Your sympathy is appreciated, but I don't plan to throay my pride” Kamito shook his head
Displeased, Rinslet perked up her lips
”So you don't like beco my servant?”
”That's right It is no use to try to placate me”
”So full of yourself, even though you wag your tail at Claire Rouge”
”When did I wag ruht think the same—
Could it be that this princess was trying to get close to Kamito mainly out of her rivalry with Claire?
(Yare yare, such an unexpected annoyance)
Kah
”I got it That's fine with me if that's how you want it” Rinslet cleared her throat, and placed the bowl on the ground
”Hmm?”
”I'll leave the soup here Fro it was because Carol cooked too much of it and it will be a sharateful for my benevolence”
”Eh?”
(This young lady, by any chance)—
Rinslet turned around elegantly and was about to leave
”Ahh, Wait, Rinslet!”
Kamito suddenly called out
Rinslet winced and stopped in her steps
”Wh-What is that? Suddenly calling other people's first name—”
”I can't be your servant, but we can be friends”
”Eh?”
Rinslet's ereen eyes open wide
”Thank you for being worried and co to see me”
”Wh-Wha, you, you insolent Of-Of course that's not true”
Rinslet suddenly blushed and turned her face away
”Fufu, milady is so”
Carol covered her led
Right at that moment—
”Rinslet Laurenfrost!”
A voice, hich had become familiar to Kamito, suddenly passed into his ears
Claire alking towards the
It appeared that Ms Freya's ad session was finally over
”Don't feed ”
”You Who are you calling a thieving dog!?”
Here we go again, Kah
”What's that? Isn't your fa?”
”Why you—Laurenfrost's family crest is a proud White Wolf!”
”White Wolf? Changing it into a Chihuahua fits you better”
Provoked by Claire's words—
”Claire Rouge You really got my dander up” Rinslet said with a suppressed voice
In a flash, a fog-like chill hung around them The temperature dropped dramatically
”Wait, you can't be calling your spirit—”
Kamito hastily called out, but it was too late
The cold wind swirled Rinslet's hair flew up, rippling
—Oh freezing beast with Ice-teeth, merciless hunter of the forest
—Now is the time to abide the contract of blood, hasten to my side as commanded!
As soon as Rinslet finished chanting the suulfed all of the surroundings
Aure appeared
A beautiful wolf, with a coat of silver white fur
Its body exuded a freezing chill
”This is”
”It is the contracted spirit of milady, the demon ice spirit Fenrir” Carol said with a smile
The i aura that white wolf carried, was definitely incomparable to a low level spirit
In regards to ranking between spirits, the white as unher than mid-level To havelady was definitely not an ordinary person
”Well, your dog is still the same, with its coat color barely meritable”
Claire shook her twintails in disdain
”You You called it a dog again, You flat chest! I absolutely will not forgive your insult to the family of Laurenfrost!”
Covered with the chilling air, the white wolf roared, and dashed toward Claire
”Who are you calling flat chest!? Come, Scarlet!”
Claire lashed at the ground with her whip A scorching hell cat i flames
It appeared that Claire had long conjured up her spirit already
