Volu 1, Chapter 6: Setting each respective feelings
Two weeks have passed since the establishnt of the bride training study covered by turbulence. Early in the morning, we headed to Bremfai Magic Academy, where we attended a dostic confrontation called morning class. In the afternoon we sit down together and learn about the culture of each country......and such days continue to repeat every day. Even though at the beginning, the seating arrangent was worriso, now everyone on good terms is sitting next to each other. It seems that six beautiful girls sitting in a row......can really be exhausting.
“No No, it's not like I'm a pervert." Craft
I wake up from my bed while scratching my sleepy eyes.
“Well. What kind of lesson will I have today with them?" Craft
While kneading the schedule of the day, I changed my clothes and wore my cloak. After that I reached out for the back of Danthes......and noticed soone behind .
“......Zenan, what are you doing there?" Craft
“Huuu, you finally noticed. Craft-sama sleeps very deeply." Zenan
Zenan puts breakfast on the table and walked ahead of without making any sound. That fellow, isn’t she like a ghost?
“Please don't pass the lack of your sense of crisis to . No matter how much it is, it is too cruel." Zenan
“Ehh? Is it easy for to face so much?" Craft
“That's it. The castle people are calling you the Virgin Prince who doesn't vomit behind your back…...” Zenan
“Super virgin maid. Anyway, what do you want so early in the morning?” Craft
I pick up the coffee placed on the desk and drink it. The level of taste is entirely different from the ones made by Delrogello...... delicious, as expected of Zenan.
“Nothing at all, but the bride training study started two weeks ago. Isn't it ti to decide who your partner is going to be?” Zenan
“What? The selection period is a month, so I still have ti?" Craft
Well, it is true that I haven't decided yet. They are all good people so narrowing down to one person isn't so easy.
“No. It seems you have misunderstood. One month is the period of choosing a bride and wedding ceremony. So, you have to get married in at least two weeks." Zenan
Oh, was that so? So soon I get married to soone…...? Hey, C'mon! Let's talk about such an important story beforehand!
“......But well, I still have two weeks left to go, right? Then, carefully......” Craft
“Are you going to decide on the day before the wedding, assuming that you will decide in the last minute of the selection period? Are you stupid? Are you ready in ti? Are you stupid?” Zenan
“Naa! Is it possible to do? I have a lot of ideas!” Craft
“Please decide it as soon as possible. How about those rumors for example? As a person with similar circumstances, I really want to support you......" Zenan
“An example rumor? Ah, that. That rumor is a story of its own, so don't mind it." Craft
It is not my intention, but it is a rumor that people who aren’t familiar with us often spread in the first place. It is a waste of ti to do just that.
“Is that so. However, there are five candidates......how about approaching one person?" Zenan
“Well, they are all excellent......and I was turned down by Venu." Craft
“Wavering Craft-sama can't decide. As expected, I ruined the mood......higiii." Zenan
Leaking a groan like a pig, Zenan holds her head. Well, it's like a nightmare if it's the guy who will be in charge of preparing the wedding ceremony.
“Let's do this. Craft-sama says the conditions he desires for won and I narrow down with it" Zenan
“Oh, you can check whether soone fits my conditions!" Craft
Whether she ca here to narrow the candidates down or not, it would likely end up based on reference
“I'll give it a shot. First......Cute. This is a must." Craft
“Do you think these five people are at the top level?" Zenan
“Well, that's right. I think that they are the most beautiful girls in the world." Craft
“......I feel like I'm not the only girl who is abnormal around Craft-sama." Zenan
I dare not to retort back in front of her. Because Zenan is staring at .
“Jiii......exciting, exciting!" Zenan
“Besides, a bright fellow is good. Like ri whose mood makes feel happy all the ti. And it's good to be single-minded, she will keep watching over forever......like Kaitos." Craft
Zenan sends a hot gaze, as a matter of course. I go ahead and eat my breakfast sandwich and describe the conditions I can think of.
“Is strength after that? She should have the physical strength to protect herself, but I also want her to have the strength of showing her own will and determination, like Musashi. Besides, kindness to respect soone......like Venu..” Craft
As I thought, It’s easier to co up with reasonable conditions if you think it out thoroughly. On the other hand, Zenan, who is standing in front of , quietly listened to my words with a serious expression.
“What do you say, Zenan? You set out quite a lot, but it seems you were not able to narrow it down?” Craft
“A, hii. That's right, it can't be narrowed down." Zenan
“Hey, hey! Where are you going? Why are you going out of my room!" Craft
I widely opened my mouth and pulled on Zenan′s shoulder, trying to stop her from leaving.
“Jiii......isn't there anything else? For example, an expressionless but hard-working maid!" Zenan
“I'm not particularly interested in that." Craft
“Neeee~” Zenan
“Don't make a strange voice. But that's right......there is one more. Craft
As I finished that statent, I close my eyes and explore the depths of my heart, showing a vivid image......flowing red hair. Looking at and laughing happily, that woman ca running to ──
“No? No no no! No, nothing! Absolutely not!!" Craft
Am I still sleepy? By the way, why did I imagine that guy?
“This- I and Ef, Efrika......? That's it! This is a mistake!" Craft
“Huu......well, it seems you are conscious, let's get into the main subject." Zenan
As opposed to who is upset, Zenan returns back to the topic calmly. Finally, will she choose one out of those five candidates?
“Ooo, Zenan! You decide quickly!” Craft
“What are you saying? You must not rely on others to make such an important decision. By the way, relying on the judge, Leona, is out of the question." Zenan
“......That's right, if I don't decide myself, it would be pointless.” Craft
As Zenan says, I can’t rely on others to make this decision. I seriously need to make a decision.
“But I'll help you prepare for the stage. Please give a week.” Zenan
“Is it okay? If we decide after a week, it will be one week until the ceremony......" Craft
“It is my job to make it possible." Zenan
“Is that so? As always, don't do sothing bad." Craft
Right, I have been relying on Zenan since I was a kid. If she wasn't here, my troubles would bloom to a hundredfold.
“Well then, the woman who can do the job, perfect maid Zenan will be excused." Craft
A blessed and self-contained perfect maid takes my dishes after I finished breakfast.......I admit that she is perfect except for sociability and chest size.
“Even so, one week left......" Craft
Can I truly be able to pick out one of them? Out of these supre five people, who will make happy──
The evening of the day when I discussed the arrangent and upcoming ceremony to Zenan, was the day that I decided to hold a lesson regarding on the the of flower arrangent, which was proposed by Leona...…
“Well then everyone, please have a look! I'm confident in flower arrangent!" Leona
A sample work of flower arrangent was made by Leona who is acting as the instructor on my behalf. The work itself is beautiful and Leona is cute, so I am satisfied......
“Ah, Leona. No matter how you look at it, isn't it too much?" Craft
“Hahe......? Wawaa! Craft-niisama is buried in flowers!” Leona
“Did you notice now? It's like a funeral." Craft
Leona spends most of her ti in the courtyard of Dora castle where different flowers are collected around the world from various countries are presented. To Leona, this is re child's play. In a short ti, she was able to arrange different works of flowers that grew like jungles surrounding .
“So, Sorry Nii-sama......I was a little too enthusiastic" Leona
“I don't mind. I am glad that Leona has this talent." Craft
Sickly Leona grew up energetically and was enjoying life. Such a matter, of course, is happening in reality......and that's the most important thing for .
“Hey, Nii-san! Don't just talk with Leona and also take a look at us!" Efrika
“That's right! This ga! Whatever happens, I can't lose!" Venu
Jiiinnto, I have to endure my tears when Efrika replied. Even though a couple of them are completely engrossed in sentint......they are noisy people.
“Oohoohoohoo! I'm the one who is going on a date with Craft!” Venu
“I won't let you! It is I, who will win this ga and will go on a date with my elder brother!” Efrika
“There is also ! I′m also here degozaru!" Musashi
“Hey, guys. Even if it's a date, just in na......in fact it's just shopping?" ri
The date that Venu ntioned is a reward given to the person who was the best in today's class. Originally there was the schedule to go out and pick out the props to be used in the class, so when I brought up the story to the candidates......this happened.
“Huuhuuhu, I have so knowledge of flower arrangent! Using scissors like this......" Musashi
“Oh, Musashi, you won’t cut the flowers with a sword? I was expecting it a little." Efrika
“Oh, Efrika-dono! I will show you! Haaa! Deyaaaa!!" Musashi
“Uee, this is also a slashing attack......! Why are you talking about unnecessary things, Mrs 301 points!" Venu
“Ngiii!! Daakaaraa! I told you to stop calling that!" Efrika
While Musashi rapidly unsheathes her sword to cut the flowers, Efrika and Venu glare at each other while pressing their chest against each other. They don't get tired of doing it.
“Hmm, don't worry about any flower being delicious. I wonder which should I taste next......" Kaitos
“Hey Hey. To eat the flowers, at least one work should be made by you, Kaitos." Craft
I escaped from Leona′s works that surrounded and walked up to the candidates who were working.
“Efrika and Venu stop, that includes you, Musashi! It’s good that you have muscles, but do it normally!" Craft
“What! Craft-dono praised ......ehehehe, I′m feeling embarrassed!” Musashi
Flower arrangent is originally a cultural practice of Isamura. It would be an easy job for Musashi. While watching her work, Musashi's work has been most beautifully finished and it seems like she is arranging colorful flowers with an exquisite balance.
“Do you want to date! Or is it marriage! How many kids do you want!" Musashi
“Don't jump to any conclusions, Musashi-san! It's not settled yet!" Venu
“That's right! I′m not going to lose! Is it a thousand points this ti?" Efrika
While drawing closer to , Efrika starts a three-way discussion. Because Musashi and Venu beca more aggressive than before, Efrika also competes against the defeat. Why don't they rely on the judge for the ti being......?
“Yes, Kaitos-chan. Aah......” Leona
“Amuu......*chewing*, *Gulp*. Well, this flower is good" Kaitos
Ah, my pretty goddess is feeding that pretty lizard girl for so reason. What are you doing Kaitos? Why are you eating flowers so leisurely!
“Well, Nii-san! Decide the best one quickly!" Efrika
“Craft, please choose wisely!" Venu
“Am I the best? That would be good, Craft-dono!" Musashi
“U, guu......that's right. To determine the best......" Kaitos
I can't stand the intense fire of stinging gazes, so I diverted my eyes. Now that I have lost the escape path of Leona and Kaitos, there is only one person I can rely on.
“Kuu! That's hard! My favorite of these is......this work." Craft
If she doesn't have any interest in the training study and lives freely......then there shouldn’t be a problem.
“ri! The flower arrangent that you made is good. Especially this, this place here!" Craft
“......Eh? Is my work good? You are not lying to , right?" ri
“No, well…...it's a subtle thing if you say I lied.” Craft
Apart from Kaitos, they made such exquisite works, but when it cos to deciding the best one, it will be a difficult task.
“But......yes. I think ri's work is pretty good." Craft
After the flower arrangent lesson started, ri was unusually silent and imrsed in her work. The work that she made was perfect for that concentration──I liked it at a glance. Tall green flowers are arranged in a circle, bright-red and pink flowers are born one by one in the center. The the is unknown, but whenever I see this work......
“I'm feeling settled sohow. Perhaps you expressed Bunna with this?" Craft
“Wow! Sensei, incredible! You understood it so well!!" ri
“As you can see, this green flower is a big forest that surrounds a boulder." Craft
“What really? If you say so, it sounds like Bunna." ri
“Gokuu. Although it is frustrating, this is ri-dono′s win!" Musashi
The candidates who ca to peek at the work of ri are tempted by my words and they all begin to express their impressions.
“But what I don't know are the red and pink flowers in the middle. Peach blossoms seem to be the sa as your flower decorations, but the red flowers…...what does this represent?" Craft
“Ehee, Ehehehee......that......whatever you think it is?” ri
While shaking her head, ri averted her eyes. The sa red color as my hair. No way......this is , isn’t it?
“Kuu! This is ri-san′s win! I will win next ti!" Venu
“I'm looking forward to it, Venu! Your work was interesting too! It's like a battlefield." ri
“It is Venusera! Well, in Baretoria everything is luxurious and guns are the best!" Venu
Yes, that's right. It's not flowers, but a line of firearms, its unique and I like it. However, this class is about flower arrangent......Venu.
“Alright, ti is also good......today's lesson is over. The winner of the flower arrangent is ri." Craft
“*Munching*......*Gulp*. What! Craft, I haven't made an arrangent yet!" Kaitos
“The one who forgets the purpose of the lesson and is eating flowers is bad. So for today let's dissolve! Everyone, if you have sothing to add to your work, you can decorate them in the classroom!" Craft
When I clap my hands and tell them, the bride candidates begin to clean up altogether. The petals and tools that are scattered are neatly put on the seat behind each selected work with a satisfied expression. The spectacle of flowers that are being placed on top of the desks is a little aningless.
“Uhhh......alley-oop. Huuu, today I'm really exhausted." ri
“That's enough for today, ri. You′re very serious today." Craft
I finished cleaning up quickly and called out to ri who was about to return. I was a little worried because the situation was different from usual......
“Se, seriously? Eee? Perhaps, did I look serious?" ri
“Surely, it's a little different from seriousness......I felt like you didn't want to lose to the others. You know, you've been working silently for a while now." Craft
Looking at Venu and Musashi, was ri really motivated not to lose? If so, it is a pleasure, but......she feels sowhat lonely. In ri's case, the standing position was so suited.
“......Well, whatever. I will go shopping now, will you co with ?" Craft
“Shopping......? Ah, that......I was wondering......" ri
Looking down, ri murmurs in a low tone as if troubled by sothing. What? she looks so happy, but I wonder if she hates going out with .
“ri? If you don't like it, I'm not forcing you." Craft
“Aa......noo! That's not it! That......I'm so happy!" ri
ri′s shoulder trembles and when she raises her face, she shakes her head left to right. And, as it is, she runs towards the outside of the classroom so as to mislead the awkward atmosphere.
“Wait a mont, Sensei! I'm going to get ready!" ri
“He, Hey! Wait for a second, ri! The story is still......" Craft
“I'll et you at the front gate! I'm sure Sensei will like it!" ri
*Gacha* *Clank* * Bang*! ri opens the door, runs against the wall before leaving and closing the door again.
“Mumuu? ri-dono is sothing wrong?” Musashi
“It looked like sothing was strange sohow. she was quite an adult today......" Venu
“Is she experiencing stomach pains? Uu, I'm worried." Leona
“Don't worry, Leona. ri′s appetite impressed really. It's not an ordinary belly." Efrika
It seems that I was not the only one who felt it strange and the other candidates raised their voices, worried about ri. I'm pleased that they get along well since the first day.
“Craft. It slls like trouble......*Sniff Sniff*" Venu
“I agree......Venu, why are you slling my back?" Craft
“Sohow......deeidadadadada! Giv, Give uppp!!" ri
The stalk of flowers used for the class is thrust into Venu′s nose who was behind . Oh, you know, beautiful girls can say what they want. It is pathetic.
“Nhuhuhuu. Nii-san, isn't this the best work for today?" Efrika
“Yes. The contrast between red and blue that matches Venu's blond hair......you have a talent for flower arrangent." Craft
If I wasn't a prince, I might have aid for the world on the path of flower arrangent.
“Uuu......the back of my nose.” Venu
Now, it is okay to indulge in talks with harmony......I can’t let ri wait.
“Leave ri to for the ti being. I will go shopping and listen to her talk." Craft
“Of course, we will let you......if you resolve successfully, you will tell us, right?" Efrika
“Of course. You guys are also worried about ri." Craft
Everybody nods quietly and leaves the classroom, as they were relieved to hear it. Until a while ago I was desperate to be elected, but as soon as the lesson is over, everyone is on good terms with each other. It seems that I can build a bond with everyone in so way.
“Even if......ri isn't doing well, I′m going to go crazy." Craft
ri is the [Life of the Party], always giving a bright and cheerful atmosphere, laughing while enjoying classes. Seeing that ri suffer, is making the others worry──
“I have always been saved by her cheerfulness." Craft
As the teacher of the bride training study, I just do my best to do what I can.
The main gate of the Bremfai Magic Academy is severely guarded. It is a matter of course- it is a place where dozens of students attend, so it is natural but the appearance of robust security guards wandering around in front of the gate is highly stimulating for the girls. Anyway, it's depressing. And they keep staring at and I’m still waiting for ri......
“Every one......I’m sick of them.” Craft
Many students have co and go to this place, paying attention to who is waiting at the gate. It's a story I heard from Derogello......I used to hurt students of Baretoria earlier in the school, and now most of the students are afraid of my existence. Besides, only the students who bad-mouthed Venu were punished, and the victory of Baretoria is close because I′m very close with Baretoria′s second princess Venu......rumors are enough. I knew Zenan as well, perhaps it is widespread on a considerable scale.
“That's stupid. Our class is not a spectacle." Craft
It is irrelevant who is advantageous or which country is victorious. I would like the citizens to admit it- I want my father to acknowledge. That two people who have done so much together are enjoying the bride training.
“A guy with a policy marriage mission is already in my class......" Craft
“Ah, ahh...Sensei, I made you wait.” ri
“Hmm? Ah, ri. You finally......ca?” Craft
I was called from behind, so I interrupted my monologue and looked back. That's when she was there, ri, who I know well──
“Nahahaha, I wonder if this looks good. I'm not used to this kind of clothes......” ri
ri is wearing a gorgeous dress with a design that either Efrika or Venu would like to wear and not the highly-expensive ethnic costu that she usually wears. The ruffled, peach-colored dress with a hint of red looked nice, no, beautiful, while at the sa ti showing a healthy amount of leg when one looked down from the short skirt. Coupled with the emphasized cleavage area that made her breasts look as if they were about to break loose any mont now. Her overall sex-appeal was off the charts.
“Se, Sensei......? Is it bad?” ri
“Bad? Don’t get wrong! Rather, It’s the best!" Craft
What is with those stockings! An enchanting space is born between the skirt and the stockings, revealing the small boundary of her thighs to her knees!
“Eei, intolerable! Can I touch your thighs for just a little?" Craft
“Ueeee? Well, it is still a bit too early......" ri
I’m losing my reason to hold back, my arms are moving carefully on their own, but ri crosses her hands in front of her crotch to cover up her secret area. ‘Chi’, it was already another step......what, what am I doing!
“I′m......I′m not good with ecchi.” ri
“......Sorry. It was too erotic. I′m really sorry.” Craft
“E. Eroo? Wow, after all this, is seriously effective......is this okay?" ri
“I don't mind being able to feel a response......shall we go?" Craft
Nurous students of the school turned and looked to our direction, witnessing the mont I tried to touch ri's body. I can feel the number of their cold gazes increasing and whispers getting louder, giving us the spotlight and nowhere to run.
“I want to return before dark. Now, let's go." Craft
“Nowaaa! Don't pull !!” ri
I pulled ri′s hand and rushed to Ragwaldo when we left the school gate. I grasped tightly at her hands, ri seems to be surprised, but I knew that she didn't dislike it. ri is like a small cat that follows behind.
“Sensei, its is hard for to move in this dress.” ri
“Despite that, you were still able to catch up to ." Craft
Because of her short skirt, I can see her big legs as she runs by my side while smiling. Well, well, as each step she makes her chest shakes and her skirt flutters around..... yeah, this is awful.
“......Stop running. I'll walk ri, at this rate my reason for holding back is in danger." Craft
“Naa? I hope not...well, you can keep your hands down.” ri
“Ah, okay. Hold on so you don't stray." Craft
Leaving Bremfai and walking for a bit, we arrive at a busy market. The stores in the market, especially in the evening, holds dozens of bargain sales, bringing more people in, doubling the number of shoppers. Therefore, once you get separated from your group, it will be extrely difficult to reunite.
“Well then! How about this?" Craft
When I said that, I released ri′s arm and entwined it with my arm so that she hugs .
“Hey, what's up? Are you happy with this? Did you co to like ?" ri
“I'm glad that I originally liked you, but......were you always likes this?" Craft
With a strong force, without any resistance, my arm sinks into her huge breasts….. My brain collapse from the feeling of euphoria. I gather a handful of reason to open my mouth.
“The dress is good, and this folded arms......it is different from your usual self." Craft
“Nhehe......Is that right? I think it's always like this.” ri
“Huuh…...I understand. More than that, I'll get my arm off as soon as we get to the destined shop." Craft
I escaped from the unbelievable chest of ri and pointed to an old store that looks good. A two-story brown brick building. On the wooden signboard is written『Riin′s magic tool store』......this is the shop and place where I got Virgil and Danthes.
“Here? It's a shabby store." ri
“Don't speak ill of it. The shopkeeper here is a type who holds a grudge." Craft
I pay attention to ri before I put my hand on the door of the shop. The last ti I ca here was more than a year ago, but it's dusty and dirty, and I don't think I'll stay long enough.
“I will disturb you, Riinn!" Craft
Ringing the entrance bell, and ri step into the store. As soon as I opened the door, I saw dust in the room, swaying and dancing as the wind entered the store and watching the place where it ca from......it seems that there were no custors for a long ti. Take it, keep it clean.
“Peepee! Ubee, I inhaled so dust......gehoogehoo." ri
“Don't ss your beautiful clothes. That shit glasses......where has he gone?" Craft
No matter where the object originated from, the east, west, north, or south, the store is always flooded with tools from all over the world, making it hard to reach the counter in the back.
Ninety percent of the products sold here are gifts, but in reality, there are also bargains like continental heritages hidden within this store. I heard that Efrika got her Eromiel Cane here.
“Riinn! Did you hear from Zenan? I ca to pick up the item I ordered!" Craft
I casually call the na of the shop owner because he is my childhood friend, but there was no response. No way, leaving the shop open, did he go sowhere…...?
“Buwakkushon! Zubii......hh? Sensei, there is a letter." ri
ri reached the counter where no one is and found a piece of paper. When I received it, I dropped my gaze intently.
“What.....’I haven't heard that you will bring another person here. I will run away for the ti being. By the way, I placed what you ordered under the counter, you should take it for yourself. Also, this shop isn’t boring and I am not the type who can easily hold a grudge…’" Craft
“Uwaa, she heard everything. She really is a person who holds a grudge.” ri
“That idiot. If you have ti to write such a letter, show yourself." Craft
If I have the opportunity to et him next ti, I will break his glasses. So I made a decision, I pick up the items that I ordered under the counter, it was contained inside a white bag. Inside the bag is a handy tool, a new small cane that can portray colors and a magical hourglass that touches the set ti.
“The fee’s supposed to be prepaid by Zenan......okay, shopping is done." Craft
“That was too fast! Is it really already over?" ri
“Are you dissatisfied? Shall we buy so food on the way......" Craft
I put the purchased tools in my cloak and turn to ri. No shopkeeper, no need to stay in this musty space. It was done sooner than I expected and I proposed whether to stop sowhere before we go ho……
“The, Then! There is sothing I want......is it alright?" ri
“Ou. Say anything. I'll go out with you if you want." Craft
“......Uguu, uuuu…...that......haa, I'm embarrassed.” ri
“It's not like you're going to be so hesitant. hey, say it clearly." Craft
“If so......I will say, okay? I will tell you......" ri
ri's body is shaking while lumping on the ground with her right toe and turning both arms back. At this point, ri's gluttonous stomach doesn't surprise anymore and I′m willing to eat anything......
“Wh, why don't you make a child with !" ri
“Alright. What, you want to make a child..................hmm? Make a child?" Craft
“Auu......” ri
I thought it was a mistake to hear words that wouldn′t fit the situation. Judging from ri′s appearance with a red face and tears in the corner of her eyes──
“My, My body......as Sensei wants......I can do it." ri
Eh? This attitude makes feel like she is not joking, right? That ans…...yes? Is it that ri wanted to eat?
“Uhh......ri-san. Do you know how to make a child?" Craft
“I, I have no experience, but I know. That's why I'm gonna be firm!" ri
Wow, this kid is so damn motivated. I'm so happy!
“Wait, Wait! What does this an! I don't know I’m a little confused at the mont!" Craft
“Y, you don't want to make a child with a person like , right?" ri
“I want you! But I would rather want a different ti and place! Tell why!" Craft
It was ri who purely enjoyed the bride training lessons from the first eting until now. She tried challenging herself with tasks given by the country without any distortion, she was delighted whenever she succeeds and laughs with everyone whenever she failed......that was the ri I know. But suddenly, she wanted to connect with physically......what is going on?
“I don't know why. But Sensei, please choose ." ri
ri is slightly taller than making her mouth close to my ear. Each hot breath she leaks out touches my ear, sending thrills and waves of excitent to my whole body but it didn't last long.
“He, Hey, stop ri! Even if we do such a thing.I!" Craft
“Please teach Sensei…...I, I will do whatever you want." ri
“It's a fascinating proposal......guu, I can't betray them!" Craft
While being pulled away by reluctance, I managed to get away from ri. ri is dragged out from unexpectedly like her usual stark strength, and──
“Kku…...I′m begging you......Sensei, hikku, please choose ......” ri
She was crying. That ri who is bright as the morning sun and the life of the group who always raised our moral, is crying large drops of tears.
“......Sorry, I didn't an to make you cry. However, you were acting strangely." Craft
“Strange......? Yeah, well......anyway, no matter how hard I try, it's useless......" ri
“Don't twist the story. I was surprised because you were different than usual and today you are so cute.” Craft
I dusted off the counter before leaping on top. I then ask ri to join , she quietly accepts my proposal.I have yet to know why she feels depressed, I need to talk to her firmly.
“Nssho......ah, Sensei! Don't peek, my skirt is short." ri
“I'll still be able to catch a short glimpse even if I don't want to." Craft
Well, I tried to look at it. Yes, it's a treat.
“Muu, Sensei is lewd after all. Even before, you were happy to see what was under my skirt." ri
“That was an accident. Not on purpose." Craft
“Really? If I roll up my skirt here now......ataa!" ri
“I want to have a serious conversation. You can play around or tempt later." Craft
“Chee......you are no fun......I'm ready to go......" ri
Keeping both hands on the counter, ri shakes her skirt back and forth. Childish behavior and a grown-up appearance gap......I ask with a strong heart.
“Hey, you aren't prepared for this. Your face flushed the mont I was about to touch your thighs,......why did you want to suddenly do obscene things with ? No matter how you look at it, you are not ready for it." Craft
“Uguu! Th, that's another......I really can do it always!" ri
Her mouth kept on spewing bullshit but at the sa ti, the speed of her feet flailing around has increased energetically. From the looks of it, in the depths of her heart, she is hesitating to answer, which is quite understandable. These traits of hers aren't different from her usual self, but what was that a while ago...?
“What are you impatient about? I have yet to decide your chances are still......" Craft
“......It started a while ago, when Sensei had chased after Venu during class." ri
Stopping her swinging legs, ri starts talking while interrupting my words.
“Then, there was a rumor that started to circulate that Sensei likes Venu. That rumor, everyone else did not seem to care about it, but It scared , all the ti.” ri
“You were scared? Of such a rumor?" Craft
“Because I saw it, how close you were to Venu.... at that mont, I just knew that it wasn't just a rumor." ri
Certainly, ever since that event, anyone can say that the distance between us has gotten shorter. But what about it? Efrika and Kaitos are not worried about it and yet──
“Why are you scared of that? The fear that I'm not going to choose you?......" Craft
To eat delicious delicacies…. that's what she said on her self-introduction at our first eting. If so, why not enjoy the class and beco serious......
“......Sorry, sensei. I, I just have to marry Sensei by all ans." ri
“What you have to do…...after all, It’s your goal isn’t it?" Craft
“Yes. In order to marry Sensei and raise the national strength of Bunna......I would like you to choose ." ri
I didn't say it unexpectedly......I had it in mind, there was a possibility, but when you directly hear it from her... it hurts, my chest hurts, sothing is wrong with . It was hard for to believe that ri, who had purely enjoyed each interaction with us during our bride training lessons, changed to that character.
“Hey, ri? To marry and to raise the national power of Bunna......you may invade the hotown of Venu, Musashi, and Kaitos. You know that, don't you?” Craft
“I know. But still, I…...I have to et everyone's expectations." ri
“Everyone's expectation? All the citizens of Bunna?" Craft
If so, that I understand. Assuming that ri who wasn't earnest at first was being touched by the students of Bunna who attend Bremfai......
“Yes. There are a lot of students from Bunna who are in this country. In fact, they have run away from the country because they dislike it. Venu also said that......in Bunna you also eat insects because it's a countryside." ri
“Ah, no! There's a deep reason for Venu to say that! She didn't have the intention to say bad things......" Craft
“Yes, I know. Separately, I don't mind it. But it's a different story for others, It's a known stereotype of people from other countries.." ri
So she is not angry about Venu. ri begins to continue.
“The majority of the students who study here are making fun of students from other countries. Barbarians who only use magic, country-people eating insects......that kind of stamp will last forever." ri
Dibair, Isamura, Baretoria, Bunna, Kuranos. It is only natural that among the five countries, the primitive culture becos exclusive to the persistent Bunna......it may be inevitable. But direct interaction with each country without the help of Dibair is equal to zero.
“........Sorry. I am also not good with insects, did you got hurt at the ti of cooking practice?" Craft
“It's fine! I think it's normal because that's a typical reaction.” ri
I didn't see anyone from Bunna in the cafeteria before…...was it because they don’t interact with students from other countries?
“But everyone wants to witness that as a norm. If you can escape the land surrounded by that big forest......there won't be a countryside in the other countries. You can be normal." ri
“In other words, if you marry ......Bunna invades other countries. Expanding strength with the power of Dibair and going out of the big forest──the citizen would be cheering on your political marriage with ." Craft
“For that kind of thing, I just have to marry Sensei by all ans." ri
With hollow eyes......ri was staring at . No, that's not ri. Does she only want to marry her for a political marriage? Does she think that her getting married to is just a necessary sacrifice for the people?
“These clothes were also prepared by people of Bunna. I will seduce Sensei with this." ri
“......They have done a good job so far and I want to praise them. Especially the guy who choose these stockings." Craft
“Puu! Naahaahaahaa! Yeah, Sensei is funny!" ri
ri, who raised her voice and laughed a lot, had tears in her eyes. Is it tears from laughter or from sadness......I don't know.
“Actually…...I wanted to et Sensei in another dress other than this.” ri
ri wipes her tears with the sleeves of her dress before she jumps off the counter. As it is, ri turned around and advances to the exit......before I response.
“ri, whatever you say......you're my precious bride candidate." Craft
“......Sensei, I......” ri
She stops at the front of the door while tightly holding her trembling fist.
“Do you really want to like you, Sensei?" ri
Showing a painful and sad smile at the end, ri stepped outside and closed the door. The sound of the bell chis in the shop and only I remain behind.
“You will fall in love with ...... that’s what I decided.” Craft
I want to chase after her and tell her what was on my mind..... but, my body won't move. To accept ri's desire is equivalent to the act of abandoning the other candidates. But conversely, If I respond to the other candidates... I will be forsaking ri. So why am I so lost? Not knowing what to do, is this really ?
“Shit......what, it’s Dibair′s prince.” Craft
If this is not the way, then what is.... The words ri spoke off were stuck in my chest.
“I hope I can make a choice......" Craft
Spitting words that won’t reach anyone's ears, I remain alone in the darkness. In a lonely world, I couldn't leave this place......until a single star appears in the night sky.
As I stare at the stars in the night sky, I'm just stunned at how narrow I viewed this world. There is only about a fifth of the territory of Rusanas, about 30% of the continent's landmass. In other words, if you look at this world as a whole then, how much of it is Dibair?
“If it's 1/5 of 3/10......based on that......" Craft
“3/50. It's approximately 1/16, Craft-niisan." Efrika
“......Efrika, how long have you been there?" Craft
There is a balcony on the top floor of Dora castle. At night, there were no guards on the lookout, so I choose this spot to be on my own. So that I won’t et anyone.
“Just a minute ago. I heard from Zenan that you ca back to the castle and head to the balcony without taking dinner." Efrika
Efrika, who is leaning against the railing, slowly approach while raging her shoes. As I noticed, Efrika was wearing a negligee.
“So? Did you feel so depressed......have you been swayed by ri?" Efrika
“No. I was shaken.....I was pestered to make a child." Craft
“Heh. What, ri wants to make a child..................? Make a child?" Efrika
From her reaction, I suddenly recall, Efrika treating like a child.
“Hu, Huuh......making a child. If it was a situation like that, I would have been a voyeur." Efrika
“Only this ti I agree with you. It's hard to explain the history of her past.” Craft
“Why? Can you explain it to ?" Efrika
“Naturally, I was going to do it anyway......" Craft
It can be easier if I talk to Efrika. I was wondering why.
“Actually, ri──” Craft
What kind of conversation did I spend today with ri? I begin to talk about everything without lying. In so places, veins were floating on Efrika′s face about the part when I was excited about ri's clothes. I asked her to keep her mouth shut until the end.
“......That's the story. It seems that she has been strange lately" Craft
“A political marriage. She wants to be chosen for the people of Bunna......" Efrika
There is sothing I need to think about and Efrika, with her hand on her jaw, seems to be thinking about sothing similar. She isn't funny when I'm seriously troubled.
“Hey, Nii-san. There is one thing I don't understand." Efrika
“Hmm? If its ri′s intention, I have no idea." Craft
“No, it's different. It's you, Nii-san." Efrika
Efrika pointed to my face with her index finger.
“What does ri's intention have to do with ?" Craft
“......Ha? Is your relationship good enough? You're the one who will decide on your marriage partner, aren't you? And you don't want to marry a partner for a political marriage." Efrika
So I was wondering......no, wait, what's wrong?
“Right. Then ri no longer has your attention. In any case, Venu herself has a similar motive, she wants her people to recognize her, as for Musashi's reason, she wants to see her father.." Efrika
In just a few words, Efrika easily summarizes each of the three candidates as one problem. I don't know what she ans......? It's not a joke, I like the three of them like all of the other bride candidates. Even if they were in the bride training study with a motive or reason, they decided to fight to the last minute──
“......Ah, was it sothing like that?" Craft
Thinking that far, I finally notice. Why am I worried about this? That was the answer.
“I'm glad you understand. Then I'll ask you again." Efrika
Withdrawing her index finger, Efrika says so with her hands on her waist.
“What do ri's intentions have to do with brother's feelings?" Efrika
“My feelings......regardless of what her burdens are......I like her and she likes . Isn't that enough?" Craft
As Efrika says, Musashi and Venu have a reason to marry . But I didn't care about that, the two of them went through the exchange with .... and it gradually opened my mind, and above all, It's interesting to spend ti with them. Then why did it shock when I ca to know of ri's circumstances? Cause I'm sure…. it was ri.
“ri opened her heart from the first day......it encouraged . That's why I decided that she was unilaterally the mood maker and every ti she said sothing it touched my heart" Craft
She is a natural, energetic, and a dazzling sun, I didn't think that she's in a severe predicant and mission. ri′s aim might have been decided without permission.
“Nothing will change. If ri aims for a political marriage like Venu and Musashi......I’ll just have to open my heart." Craft
What I have to do now is to not worry about this. It's a fun and interesting lesson that made ri forget about the mission......that's all.
“It seems that your hesitation was blown off. Huhuhu, you returned back to my favorite elder brother!" Efrika
“Hey hey, don't hug under this confusion.” Craft
I open my hands to avoid the impending Efrika and murmurs to the back.
“......Thanks, Efrika. Thanks to you, I broke through my doubts." Craft
It's an annoying story, but if she didn't co here......I was sure that I could not solve the problem. Hey, Efrika──
“Heeeee? It is sowhat scary for my brother to say such words." Efrika
While looking back, Efrika is trembling with both shoulders. Hey, you're rude.
“Try to scream and rejoice, as usual. What about my usual older brother?" Efrika
“Oh, you want to scream? Then I'll answer to your request." Craft
“Dumbass. If you are going to do it normally, it will only be out of order for incongruity." Efrika
When she ca back here, I thought she wanted to be quiet. Efrika is good enough to change . That's the funny thing about her──
“Wait! Why is it so? That's not possible!" Efrika
“......All right? Did you think too much and got a fever?" Craft
Efrika touched my forehead with an unsettling face, did she notice my accident? Her cool, soft hand with a sweet sll......was all I could think about.
“Oh my gosh, there's a little fever. Your face is so red......!" Craft
“That's it, I’m okay, so get away! This is so stupid!" Efrika
Before I dig my grave too deep, I sohow regain my reason tossing Efrika away
. It is not good to show my weakness more than this. I managed to pace myself......
“It would be nice but......sohow I got jealous." Efrika
“Ha? Why are you jealous?" Craft
“I wonder, exactly. Nii-san has been thinking about Venu, Musashi, and ri......but are you thinking about and Kaitos too?" Efrika
Pukuuu. Efrika is like a child and shows a blistered expression.
“No, I'm not......however, will Kaitos lose her patience with ?" Craft
“Kaitos patience with you? No, it's not possible that she will leave your side.” Efrika
“Huuh? You′re very confident” Craft
For my objections, Efrika has been worrying about and for so reason, she is looking at the bottom of the balcony. What? Is there soone downstairs?
“Well, then how about Kaitos? What do you think of her, Nii-san?" Efrika
“......It's a lot about her. We′re family......but if you ask whether she can be seen as a woman......maybe. I like her type of personality and appearance.” Craft
And as I finished saying, from the bottom of the balcony──
“Well said!” Kaitos
“You did it, Kaitos-chan!" Leona
I feel like I heard a loud voice. After all, there is soone......?
“Cough. Ah, Nii-san′s feelings are real" Efrika
Efrika stands in front of to prevent from looking down below the balcony. And, as it is, she continued to talk with a glance which blas only a little.
“However, that's too irresponsible, Nii-san." Efrika
“Why is it so irresponsible?" Craft
“Try to think about it. A benefactor who helped in my childhood days, when I was young......he was strong, cool and gentle and would cherish . If such a strong and excellent man is always in the vicinity, there is no reason to not fall in love! No, it is inevitable! I love you, Nii-san! Hold close!" Efrika
“......I don't know the reason, but why are you talking about it from your viewpoint?" Craft
Even though I was amazed at Efrika′s spirit who eventually went out of control, there was a part that convinced . For Kaitos who was in such a fussy environnt......I was the only person who she could rely on. No, it may be said that I let her do so. Regardless of the reason and process, I am the one who helped her. I have responsibility for her.
“From the mont she was born, she experienced an emotion called familial love which later changed to love. It won’t take long, In fact, Kaitos is going to be brother's bride." Efrika
“I understand the reason. But there is a resistance inside to deepen our relationship because she is a part of my family......I wonder......I don't think she has a way of life as an Admol dragon......” Craft
Emotions that cannot be utterly expressed by words. No, no, I can express it. I disapprove of that feeling and refuse to admit it──
“I'm scared, Nii-san." Efrika
“!! Wh, Whatt?” Craft
Sothing cold runs through my back like my heart was clenched.
“Did I hit the mark? She has a more suitable way of life…...I'm not sure if I can make you happy, so I'm not just running away.” Efrika
She read like an open book, Efrika exactly stated the words I didn't want to hear. Why is she so sharp only at these tis......?
“......Yeah, that's right. I don't have the confidence to make Kaitos happy." Craft
Human and dragon. Even though she can change her figure to human, she is unquestionably a dragon. I am not discriminating against dragons or anything. However, if she marries ......she will always be living with being bound by the human race......and being around all the ti. Because it will surely be a heavy burden for Kaitos, I can’t issue words that would bind her to forever──I thought so.
“Important......no, I know the feelings of my elder brother, brother cares about Kaitos because you two share a deep bond with each other. But I believe that my brother can make the right decision......” Efrika
“Yes. Why did Nii-san participate as a teacher in the bride training study......rember?" Efrika
Why did I participate in the bride training study? I certainly made a bet with Efrika......
“The victory was clear, but you don't like to win an easy ga." Efrika
“I agree with that. It's boring to win a ga before you do it and it's not interesting. If you don't have the elent or a part to enjoy......” Craft
To say that, Efrika winks at . I see. This is still a roundabout way to say......
“Ahh yes yes. Yes, yes, that's right! I want to make sure that I can be happy, and that I'm never going to get married.” Craft
“Right answer! Nhuhuhuhuu, my brother must be like that!" Efrika
With a happy face from the bottom of my heart, I ca close to Efrika who was fawning . I'd like to loose off the balcony, but I'm going to remind her of sothing important tonight. I feel shy about treating it too carelessly.
“Even so, you're a pretty sucker too. You're helping your rivals." Craft
“Huhuu, I am the sa as elder brother. Is it boring to win if you know the outco?" Efrika
“......In your case, I think your chances of losing are slim" Craft
Perhaps the most interesting thing about my marriage.... has to be Efrika. She is trouble, by bothering every ti and supporting with accurate advice when I'm feeling troubled. I'm not sure if this is Efrika──
“Nii-san? What were you thinking? You were suddenly in a daze. Can I kiss you?" Efrika
“Huuu......when the trouble beca clear, I beca hungry. Let's have a midnight snack." Craft
“I will be pleased to join you, but......will you stop wagging my face?" Efrika
“I don't like it. More than that, Kaitos, Leona! You don't have to be sneaky, co with us!" Craft
I captured Efrika who was trying to take my lips and then called out towards the two people listening to under the balcony. Even I am not so insensitive to not noticing this.
“Nuu, you already knew?" Kaitos
“Hauau......Nii-sama, I′m sorry.” Leona
Flapping her purple wings, Kaitos in a half dragon half human state flies up while holding Leona. The two of them slowly landed on the floor as they were jumping over the balcony railing.
“Nii-san, don't get angry with them. They were just worried about you.” Efrika
“Get mad at that? Rather......I'm the one who should be apologizing, Kaitos." Craft
“Craft. I don't rember asking for an apology from you, right?” Kaitos
Weren't she thinking that I would be apologizing? indeed Kaitos has a puzzled face
.
“No, not good. As for ......without permission, I had to complete my relationship with you and not hope for any further progress, and I was just denying you to go forward." Craft
Family. Just because of that......I was betraying her feelings.
“Honestly, I haven't got an answer yet. I feel uneasy about not being able to pick out even one person among five people as it is now.” Craft
“You're a coward, brother." Efrika
“You are indecisive, Craft." Kaitos
“I think it's a little pathetic, Craft-niisama." Leona
“Gu, Kuu......suu haaaa......back to the subject." Craft
While taking a stiff spiral off the story, I take a deep breath and regain a normal heartbeat.
“But now I want to see you as a woman. How you're yearning for , how I love you......I want to have fun." Craft
This is my true heart without falsehood. I think that it contains impure motives, but......it is important whether Kaitos will accept it or not, no matter what others think, it doesn't matter.
“I don’t care. You can do whatever you want if you want to enjoy yourself, Craft. For , it is a pleasure for you to have fun. At best, it makes happy." Kaitos
“It's up to now......can I check with you for sure?" Craft
“Are you sure? Craft, what do you want to ask?" Kaitos
“I'm simply interested. How long have you been in love with ?” Craft
I think that it is a big factor that she wasn't in her human state, but when I was traveling with her, I didn't feel such a swing. She was just a dragon who loved to eat. So, I'm worried about how long she've liked .
“When did I fall in love with Craft? I think the favor itself has been there for a long ti, but I started to be more aware of you as a woman fairly recently......it's ti to put you on my back and fly in the sky.” Kaitos
In a strangely crisp manner, Kaitos begins to talk with a blush. Is it shaful to tell the reason why she fell in love to see this appearance?
“Craft, I will let you on my back......whenever you gently touch my horns. The lower area of my abdon gets so hot and my instincts are screaming inside my head.” Kaitos
That's what she is talking about? And this ti she is looking at my face all fuzzy. Next to it, Efrika is still smiling weirdly. This is it. It is the flow of regret that it was better not to hear it, surely.
“Anyway, I want Craft′s child.” Kaitos
“Yes, I have foreseen this.” Craft
From now on, tell what kind of face I should have when I′m on Kaitos back.
“Hauau, Kaitos-chan is too bold......" Leona
“Nhuhuhuu! By the way, I fell in love with elder brother......idadadadaa!!” Efrika
“Kaitos......I'm sorry. Don′t force to say." Craft
In order to avoid any more bombshells thrown at , I double the power to grab Efrika's head. Today, I got tired of being stuffed with sothing. Let's rest slowly and prepare for tomorrow.
“I forgive you, Craft. This is my esteed estrus but it is my fate." Kaitos
“Good. If you think carefully, it is a situation that can be excited unexpectedly." Craft
“Nuu......naa, it seems like it will be a habit than I thought......haah" Efrika
“What are you saying Efrika. I will leave soon and go to Zenan." Craft
After liberating Efrika who is drooling from an ecstatic expression, I walk towards the room of Zenan in order to get a late night al. It's about perfect things, I guess she is already preparing sothing.
“Ahh, wait, Nii-san! Hey, we will co along!" Efrika
“Of course Efrika. Now that Craft has recognized my feelings it is a good opportunity." Kaitos
“Both of you, please do your best! I wish I could have a nice elder sister......" Leona
My important people co running with slapstick from the back. If Venu, Musashi, and ri are here──
“......It's going to be more and more fun." Craft
Efrika, who has caught up, holds my right arm, followed by Leona hugging my left arm......finally, Kaitos stick to my head from behind.
“......GashiGashiGashi” Kaitos
“Kaitos. Do you have feelings for ......?" Craft
Soon enough, we'll end up laughing together. I'll choose soone and I'll marry that person.
“Isn't it nice? Surrounded by beauties, elder brother is very happy, right?" Efrika
“Ah. I'm too happy and they seem freaked out conversely." Craft
But I wonder why. If I look at the face of Efrika, laughing like a spiteful neighbor, such a trouble doesn't seem to be a foolish thing.
“Nhuhuhuu......then I'll scare Nii-san more." Efrika
“Haa? Hey Efrika, if you give more motivation......." Craft
No, it's actually crap. Because I──
“I guess it will be interesting to the end." Craft
because I learned from the most interesting woman in this world.
