After that, Akito and the others who had come out of the cla.s.sroom, are walking in the corridor while he is lightly dragging Raios who had turned into an ice statue.

(I never expect it would be this bad……)

Akito"s face become a bit pale while he is calling Raios" face who has become black and blue to his mind. The other 2 were walking normally without realizing the state of his mind.

(About this……. It would be bad if I made those 2 angry.)

Taking a glance at those 2, Akito makes a promise in his heart that he won"t try to make those 2 angry. When he was doing that, Rutia opened her mouth as if she realized something.

"Eh? Somehow, isn"t it quiet?"

"That, I also thought like that."

The sounds of battle that could be heard until not long ago, disappear completely. Thinking that it strange, Akito looked around restlessly.

"It"s already late, as expected won"t everyone go to sleep?"

The time when Akito arrived was considerable late, and furthermore several hours has pa.s.sed since then. It"s not strange if the morning sun rises anymore.

He woke up around this time, and furthermore he is still awake until the fight, realizing that, he somehow got sleepy.

(O-i. are you awake?)
『…………』

When Akito who just realized that there isn"t any reaction from Feny for quite a while, tries to call her inside his mind, as expected it seems that Feny is sleeping. Well, Akito who thought that it"s okay as he doesn"t plan to use her power, decides to not mind about it.

"This is bad….. I"m sleepy."

Rubbing his eyes, his body starts demanding him to sleep. When Akito muttered that, the other 2 also rubbed their eyes, and suppressed their yawn. Both their magic and their body have reached their limit.

"Although I"m sleepy…… I"m hungry before that……"

When Yuuka muttered that, he remembered that he hadn"t had dinner. Despite that, he is impressed that they could go until this far.

"Ah! Enough! What on earth with this! What on earth that princess wants to do!"

As expected for him to get angry so Akito shouts in loud voice. The other 2 was a bit surprised, but it seemed that their sleepiness got the better of them, so they didn"t say anything.

Then, in response to that loud voice, Something came from the corridor"s direction. 3 people…… it seems that they are the students from Grand Magic Academy.

One of them is normal….. No, he is a bit slender gaudy man, and the other 2 are pretty tough. And the worst part is those 3 are armed.

Akito who confirmed that felt that he had enough of them. To be honest, it"s already hard even to walk. Fighting more than this would be impossible. Looking back at those 2, Akito—-

"Well, both of you. Let"s give up. Honestly, it"s already impossible. Moreover, I don’t feel like we will lose anything."

Both of them nodded together. Akito walks towards those 3 people.

Then, those 3 people also seem that they noticed Akito. Stopping their feet, they wait for Akito to come. Then, when Akito goes near those 3 people.

"Yaa! You are Hiiragi Akito-kun, right? The 3 of us are the princess" imperial guard—– Eh?"

Ignoring the gaudy man when he said that, Akito tossed away the sword he brought. Then those 3 people is showing a surprised face. Akito raised both of his hands, and fell laying on his back.

"We surrender. It"s already late at night, and we are really tired because we kept being chased. Besides, there isn"t any penalty, right? We should have done this from the beginning."

Moreover, those 3 people leak out voices "Eh? Eh?". Akito continue saying the next word while looking at them.

"Then let"s take us. To where your master is."

The place they are brought by those 3 is a little big room inside the school building. There are a big table and many chairs, it"s a place similar to the dining hall.

"Uhhh, I will get the princess."

The gaudy man said that, and leaves the room. The other 2 big man stay, and sat near Akito and the others.

Then, the big man who has a cleft chin as his distinctive feature opened his mouth.

"Ga ha ha! I never thought that you would give up! Well, it"s already late at night, but it"s regrettable that I couldn"t fight. Ah, I have to introduce myself. I"m Tomahawk Angman[1]. I"m the 2nd year of this school"s magic knight department. Well, you can call me Hawk"

Is he serious!? He is in the same year! Akito wants to ask that, but he strongly endures it. Then, this time the brown skinned big man stood up, and made a pose.

"Ou! My name is Simba[2]! I belong to this school magic knight department! I have been taken care of by your father! By the way, I"m in the 2nd year."

He thought that the man who was doing his introduction while rapidly changing pose was quite sultry. His muscle is twitching, and thanks to his brown skin, it"s making quite a black l.u.s.tre. Moreover, his shining teeth are too dazzling.

"Se, senpa-i! This is person is scary~!"

Yuuka hugs Akito with teary eyes. Mhm, I know, Yuuka. Akito who thought that he is scary, didn"t say anything to him.

"M, mhm. He is a unique person, right~"

Even Rutia who is famous for being kind to whoever she comes across to, was making a wry smile. The man called Simba has a strong character to that extend.

"Then, the guy who just went out is Light Stein[3]. Well, there are times that I don"t understand him, but he is a good guy."

Then the cleft chin Hawk introduced the frivolous man. The cleft chin Hawk is nice. Akito thought that it"s easy to call.

"Hmm…… Senpai, I"m already no good……"

At the end, yuuka seems to lost both her sleepiness and the black l.u.s.tre characteristic of Simba there. She leaned on Akito"s shoulder and fell asleep. He thought how nice Simba is while patting her head lightly. Akito thought that this is also accepted.

Looking at her, Akito is also attacked by the sleepiness, but he somehow endures it. Then he decided to ask the 2 of them about various things that worried him.

"Both of you, is that okay if I ask various things? First. Why am I summoned? Moreover, to the point of putting me in the wanted list. If you know something, I want you to tell me."

When Akito said that, the 2 of them made a surprised face. From that onward, he was told about various things, but as expected it seems that they don"t know anything. Because of that, Akito explains about being listed in the wanted list, being attacked, riding the dragon to come here, and about suddenly being on a fight.

Then, he is the cleft chin Hawk showing his concern to Akito by saying "That"s a lot of trouble." first, and the black l.u.s.tre Simba tapped Akito"s shoulder and showed his shining teeth while saying "Don"t mind!". He is even raising his thumb. I think that showing murderous intent is inevitable.

"However, are you really a spirit user? I haven"t heard about a spirit user who uses a magic armament, and moreover you had a big fight with everyone from this school, right? Even if it"s me it would be impossible, you know?"

The cleft chin Hawk who heard all the stories let out an admired voice while looking Akito"s sword and face alternately. Besides, Akito decided to answer.

"Well, I have been swinging sword since I was small. You know my father, right? I have been worked really hard by him."
"I see. I have taken you lightly. Maybe I would lose if I fight you."

While looking at the cleft chin Hawk who is nodding in agreement, Akito was glad that he gave up. He might be dead if he was attacked by a muscle freak like this guy. His weapon, a battle axe is also something that is quite savage, and bringing that, moreover, the chance that he is swinging something like that just for show is none.

Furthermore, Akito looks at the black l.u.s.tre Simba. He also wields an absurd looking weapon that is called big hammer. Akito thought that he would absolutely dead by this 2 muscular men even if he defeat one of them.

"But you are slender. Since you are more or less desired by the princess, we thought that you would be a muscular knight other than us. Well, your actual skill seems like authentic."

The cleft chin Hawk said that while looking at Akito"s arm. Besides, because Akito found a matter that he is worried, so he decided to ask.

"Eh? Desired? What is that about?"
"Mhm? Ahh I see. You didn"t know about it."

After hawk showed manner like he is thinking a bit, he nodded. It seems he has reached the conclusion.

Then he was told about a surprising fact.

"Well? Calm down and listen, okay? Actually the mock battle this time is for you and the princess to fight in a single battle, if the princess likes it, it seems that you would be put as the knight exclusive for the princess. Ah, she was also thinking about marrying you."
"Haaaaaaaaaa!?"

Akito was unintentionally let out a shout because of that. No, what was that? He felt that he didn"t understand the reason.

Certainly he was thinking until they fight in a single battle. But, exclusive knight? Marriage? That"s a topic that seems far away.

When Akito looked to his side while unable to hide his surprised expression, Rutia is also surprised too much and opened her mouth with a blank look. The shock is reaching to that extend.

Ignoring them, the cleft chin Hawk continues.

"By all means, her father….. Well, the king. It seems like she is troubled since he decided her fiance as he pleases. So, it seems that the princess who thought about what she should do, heard the rumour about you. Then she made that request in order to meet you……"

Akito was surprised by that again.

Certainly, He knows that the princess was told to take a spirit user as her husband. But, He didn"t think that the king would be that bad. Marriage is important as it influences your whole life. That kind of thing…… Even if it"s your parent, it"s not a good thing to decide it as they please.

But, why am I the candidate for that? Akito thought. When he tried to ask Hawk that, he immediately answered.

"It seems that she fell in love at first sight with the magic you released."

Akito realized it because of that. As expected, it seems that it was seen by the princess. At that time….. Feny"s elementary magic which was released at the time he defeated the military spirit. "The Bullet of Sacred Flame"……

(This is bad…… Although I had a hunch, this is really bad. The other party is the royal family. If it"s handled poorly, there are chances for various things—- No, there isn"t any chance. Becoming her exclusive knight is better than marrying her.)

Akito thought that the princess might be watching the fight within the school today from somewhere, and if that"s the case then Akito"s sword skill has been exposed. Akito thought that may be an experiment.

(This is bad. When I want to meet my father and go home quickly……)

When he is takes a glance to his 2 friends, the master of the ice dragon Yuuka is sleeping, and Rutia is also dozing off as it seems that she has reached her limit. She had kept looking for Akito in the town, and she was also fighting. She must be tired.

(d.a.m.n it! I don"t have any choice except settling this matter……)

When Akito thought that far.

It seems that someone came in after the door to the room was opened with a bang. Steadily the sounds of footsteps are reverberating in the room.

Then when the that sound came near Akito and the others, it suddenly stopped. He has the urge that he doesn"t want to look but, somehow Akito looks over there. Then—–

"You are Hiiragi Akito, right? I want to meet you! Seriously!"

The first princess of Grandneal Kingdom[4], Sylvia Lancaster is standing there with a very good smile.
