The girl"s dormitory of Grand Magic Academy.
Looking at Sylvia"s own room— that room in the top floor, Akito opened his mouth wide.
Frankly speaking, it"s too big. Well, since the other party is the first princess, he thought that they would made some modification, but he didn"t think that it would go that far.
Then, Feny"s voice could be heard there.
『Hmm? The students in this school are living in a better room than master"s room at the school.』
(There is no way that"s true! Only this room is special! The room I borrowed is normal!)
『Hmm? That"s certainly true when you said that.』
When Akito looked the inside of the room restlessly while resolving Feny"s misunderstanding, Sylvia spoke.
"Oh my. What"s wrong, Akito?"
She who called Akito without any honorifics, looks at Akito who looks around the room restlessly, and then tilts her head in wonder.
"No, no. There is nothing wrong."
Akito showed a wry smile and replied then feigned his calmness.
Well, the reason why Akito is here, in Sylvia"s own room, because she grabbed Akito"s hand as he wanted to leave immediately after that,
"Stay with me."
Because she said something like that with teary eyes, there is no way Akito can refused her and left her like that.
By the way, Akito left the matter with Arthur to Yuito, and he planned to talk to him later.
It"s already at the time where it"s not strange to call it midnight, and Akito is quite sleepy, but as expected he still have to talk with him.
So he wants to quickly come home from Sylvia"s room, but—
"Well then, I will go home."
"Wait."
Sylvia grabbed Akito"s shoulder as he wanted to left after fulfilling his purpose.
When he looks back, for some reason her face becomes red, and she is fidgeting. While Akito kept wondering about that,
"Whats wrong?"
He asked a bit. Then, from behind Sylvia, Raiya who has a grinning expression opened her mouth.
"Ufufufu♪ Hiiragi-sama. It seems that the princess wants to talk with you♪ So please drink your tea♪"
"Ha, haa……"
He doesn"t know why Raiya looks happy, but because Sylvia nods while her face being red, Akito decides to go along for the time being.
For the time being, Akito sits in the chair that is br.i.m.m.i.n.g with the feel of luxury in the center of the room, Sylvia also sits in the other side. Then, after confirming that Raiya has returned to the inside of the room, Akito sighs "Haa~".
"However, I"m surprised you have a maid. Well, even though it may be a given as it"s the princess, though, but to be also be taken into consideration…… I can"t calm down for some reason~"
When Akito said that while having a wry smile, Sylvia muttered "Is, is that so?".
"You are the son of that knight leader, so I thought that you have a maid at the very least."
Akito smiles wryly again from that question of Sylvia.
"I just know that I"m a n.o.ble recently, you know."
"Is, is that so? Well, that leader really seems that he doesn"t like formalities. He is also famous as a free spirited person after all"
Akito smiles because of Sylvia who seems a bit surprised.
"Well, that"s how it is. Despite how he looks, since he is strong, this world is absurd."
"Oh my? Are you really someone who can say something like that? Despite being many times stronger than me."
When Akito said that, Sylvia stared at Akito. Because of that, Akito smiles,
"No,no. After all, I"m just an E-ranked spirit user. I"m just "the dunce" that can"t be compared to the princess. Moreover, I also lost to you. I was pretty serious at that time, right?"
"That, that time you don"t use your flame! Besides…… I…… also have made a lot of trouble so you seemed tired……"
Sylvia looks down with her face seems to be sorry. Looking at that, while at the same time he thought that she is a bit cute, his mischievous mind appeared.
"Yes, it is~ targeted by the guild"s. .h.i.tman~ he really came to kill me~ that guy was strong~"
Actually, he was a bounty hunter, and he was unexpectedly weak, but Akito thought that this much counter attack would be okay, and said that while hiding his grin.
Then, Sylvia started to become panic.
"So, sorry! Wha, what should I say….. Uh, uu~"
She is desperately apologizing with teary eyes. From her appearance, the dignity and gallantness that make her called "the war princess", can"t be felt at all.
Yes, her appearance is just like a girl. Seeing that, Akito"s mischievous mind starts to change into a feeling of guilt.
(Thi, this is somehow turning into something bad, right?…… no, no no! I was deceived yesterday! This is might also be—–)
"Uu~ I"m really sorry….."
She who is usually a cool girl but is now having an upturned teary eyes. Was there really a combo like this? No, there is not. Akito thought like that. Her face is tremendously——
(Fuu…… I lost……)
—moeee.
"Oh my. What"s wrong Hime-sama? Did you get bullied?"
Then, the maid, raiya appears with 2 cup of black tea, and puts them in front of the 2 while having a happy smile.
(Why is it? This maid is frightful. Although she is making a happy looking face……)
Because of that, Akito tilted his head.
The truth is, Raiya is happy seeing Sylvia who is usually gallant, is fidgeting like a girl, but there is no way Akito will know something like that.
"Geez! Stupid Raiya! Don"t say something strange!"
Seeing Raiya who is grinning while receiving the hits that Sylva give her on her arm, Akito drinks the black tea while tilting his head.
Then, he is surprised by how delicious it is. Apparently, Feny is also surprised.
『Hmm. This is quite good.』
(That"s right. As expected, Is it that? The high-cla.s.s taste?)
When he was doing that exchange, while enjoying the fragrance. Raiya noticed Akito"s state.
"Oh my. Hiiragi-sama, do you realized the difference? Because today is a special day for the princess, I used something from a place in the spirit forest that I can"t tell you where."
He was worried about the words "special day", and the place she couldn"t tell him where, but in other words that"s how it is. You will lose if you want to know about it.
"Tha, that"s right. It"s considerably different from the usual……"
"Oh my? All black tea is just the same to Hime-sama, right? always……"
"Raiya!"
Akito sips the black tea while seeing the exchange of Sylvia who tasted the black tea and her maid. Why is Sylvia angry? He only has questions about that.
(However, this is that huh~ drinking something like this can make you sleepy~)
Akito who practically hadn"t slept at all yesterday, because his body had become warm, he felt his sleepiness getting stronger.
But, he can"t go to sleep. Arthur has kept him waiting, and also Yuuka and the other who has finished the preparation to return, are waiting for him to come back.
However, while keep thinking that it"s a waste, he hurriedly drinks as much as possible the black tea, and then when he wants to stand up——
"Ehem. well then, isn"t it about time to get down to the business?"
Akito gets the urge to shout with a loud voice about what she was up to until now to Sylvia who coughed on purpose and said that, but he endures it.
"Raiya, please."
"Yes, Hime-sama."
When Sylvia said that, the maid nodded, and put something like a doc.u.ment in front of Akito.
"Hmm? What is this?"
When Akito tilts his head, Sylvia says.
"Hey, Akito. Why don"t you….. Transfer here?"
◇
Akito who left the girls dormitory, walks outside that is really dark.
Then , he thought deeply about it.
『Hey, Akito. Why don"t you….. Transfer here?』
The words Sylvia said, comes to his mind.
『Because I still have something to do, I will leave for now. Give me some time to think.』
He"s fine until he left after saying that, but to be honest……
—-Akito was perplexed.
Because Akito"s contracted spirit, Feny, is not an existence that he can"t let the students from the academy know.
So, even if Akito returns to the academy, there is no way he will be able to use her power. In other words, Akito will be treated as "the dunce" with great sword skill.
But, what would happen if he came to Grand Magic Academy?
With Akito"s real swordsmanship ability, if it"s not Sylvia and her imperial guards, he will have a leeway to win. In other words, if he came here, he would be treated as "the honour student".
It"s not only that. Element Academy is a 5 years academic system, while here is 3 years academic system. Then after graduating, serving as a magic knight is also okay, living by completing quest from the guild is also okay.
–If he wants to join the spirit knight order, he can join after taking the test.
Certainly if he stays in Element Academy, he can receive a recommendation, he can get a promotion in the elite course. But, what will happen if he has Feny"s power? It"s easy. Akito will immediately deployed to the front line.
Akito doesn"t care about his career from the beginning. What Akito wants to do is to become a strong spirit user like his father. Then, fights for many people.
If that"s the case, graduating 2 years earlier and then taking the test would be better. Besides, Element Academy is a place with purpose to deepening the connection with spirits and learning how to use magic. But, Akito doesn"t need the place to deepen his connection. The reason is because Feny can speak. If something happen, she can speak and communicate, so he"s fine.
In other words, it won"t make any difference whether Akito learns at the academy or not. He can learn how to control his power from Feny, and if it"s here he can improve his techniques from fighting lots of strong people.
He can learn more serious about fighting techniques, and practice his magic with Feny. it"s like everything goes as he wants.
『Master, are you hesitant about it?』
Feny spoke quietly. Because of that, Akito nodded.
(Since you know how I feel, you should know the reason, right?)
『Yeah. Frankly speaking. I also think that it"s better for you to come here.』
Hearing Feny"s words, Akito"s heart becomes even more shaken.
Originally, Akito has thought about moving here since the time Feny was not here. He is not talented. then wouldn"t it be better for him to choose using swords?
Meanwhile, his talent bloomed. And that talent is too powerful. Therefore he can"t normally use it. But, he can make up his mind easier than other people.
–because since Akito"s partner can speak, he doesn"t need the academy"s teacher. He can have Feny to teach him how to use her power skillfully the whole time compared to those teacher"s lectures.
But, how about the teacher from Grand Magic Academy? That Sylvia Lancaster? Will she teaches Akito what the teachers from the academy and Feny can"t teach him?
The more he thinks, the more he feels unsettled. What is the thing he needs? Because he has already found the answer.
