Chapter 2 Areishia Spirit Academy
"You are REN ASHBELL!?"
Claire can't hold her excitement for meeting the real Ren Ashbell.
Not only excited, she's also really surprised that Ren Ashbell is actually a boy.
Due to Ren Ashbell's Dual sword spirits wielding 3 years ago, every people in the human world were astonished. Because even until now, every spirit users can only use up to 1 spirit at a time even though they might be able to get more than 1 contract.
But, Ren Ashbell was using 2 spirits instead of 1 at the same time.
As the result, many people want to know and question this unusual phenomenon.
Not to mention her divine power seemed to be endless.
She could fight her enemies without getting exhausted at all despite using spirits that consume a huge amount of divine power; Demon Slayer, Terminus Est and Vorpal Sword, Restia.
People were expecting her to at least sweat after using them, but she didn't.
After she won the blade dance, many people were waiting for her to have an interview with her regarding her power. But, after she returned to the human world she jumped swiftly through the buildings and disappeared without trace.
Rumors about her being a spirit herself or a ghost spread for quite a time all over the world.
Then, 3 years have passed without any of them knowing about her nor her whereabouts.
Hence, she becomes one of the legends in the history of Blade Dance.
Which is why, meeting such a legendary existence it's only natural for Claire to be surprised.
However, knowing that the legendary existence is actually a boy is far more surprising than meeting the person in question in flesh.
Since there's never been a male elementalist in 1,000 years.
"W-Why is Ren Ashbell a boy!?"
"Calm down Claire—"
A strong dizziness hits Kamito's head which makes him loses consciousness for a short time.
"Ugh... I seem to have dulled."
It's been 3 years since the last time he used Est and Restia in battle, so he's not used to their power consumption anymore. He returns both of them to Astral Zero to prevent himself from fainting due to exhaustion of Divine Power.
Claire blinks her eyes several times in disbelief.
There's no way anyone who watched the blade dance 3 years ago would forget how Ren Ashbell's legendary swords look like.
She stares at Kamito with her glittering eyes.
Kamito who's exhausted doesn't realize that he's being stared at.
The next moment, she holds both of Kamito's hands.
"Eh?"
"N-Nice to meet you, Ren Ashbell! I'm your big fan! Well... It's pretty surprising to find out that Ren Ashbell is actually a boy, though... But I've been wanting to meet you!"
Kamito have predicted this reaction, but seeing her this happy makes him blush by her cuteness.
True enough, Claire is a very pretty girl save for her breasts size. She also gets a pure white skin and her scarlet colored hair is pretty dazzling. Anyone would love to have her for themselves.
If only she's more lady-like.
"But it still doesn't change the fact that you peeked me when I was taking my bath."
"Look... It's an accident, okay? It's not like I'm peeking you intentionally. By the way... Aren't you disgusted knowing that I crossdressed 3 years ago?"
"Of course I'm disgusted."
The answer hurts Kamito's pure heart.
He expected that answer but he didn't think that Claire would state it that clearly and so straight forwardly.
Fufufu, poor Kamito
But I think you're cute in that appearance, Kamito.
Restia and Est's consent is only adding salt to his wound.
Then, Claire closes her eyes and hold her hands at her modest chest.
As if praying.
"But, I still need to thank you for saving me, Ren Ashbell. If it's not for you, I might've died by now."
"Ah... Don't mind it, it's only natural to help each other in need. By the way you can just call me Kamito, If you call me like that I fear that more people will know about me..."
Even though they're far from the society, there's still a small chance of someone eavesdropping right now. Kamito's just being cautious because he doesn't want to attract even more attention.
Then, Claire opens her eyes and tilts her head in a cute manner which takes Kamito aback.
"Why? Is Ren Ashbell not your real name? Or are you planning to crossdress again?"
Claire leans her body forward cutely as she looks up to Kamito.
What's worse is she doesn't realize that the way she act is stirring Kamito's heart.
Um...
Fufufu, what to do now, Kamito?
"I don't want to crossdress again, the existence known as Ren Ashbell is no more. My name is Kazehaya Kamito and that's how I will live my life from now on. I don't want to be flooded by people wanting to know about me after all..."
He already had enough humiliation from being forced to crossdress 3 years ago, there's no way he will want to repeat the same mistake.
Hearing the answer, Claire frowns.
"Hum... But if you don't want to crossdress wouldn't people know about you if they saw your spirits?"
Kamito agrees that Claire has a point in this matter.
Which is why;
"I don't plan on using them. If it's possible, I would want them to live in peace from now on."
Kamito...
Fufu, how gentle.
Kamito said that he wanted them to live in peace, but he knows that it wouldn't be possible for now.
Since he still have something to do in Areishia's Spirit Academy.
Claire's a little surprised but then she smiles like an angel.
"I see, if that's how you want it then I will not say anything else. You also seem to be capable of fighting without using spirits after all."
Claire's observation catches Kamito off guard.
He didn't expect Claire to notice his fighting capability in that short time.
"But still, I wonder who stole the spirit in this place..."
"—Who knows?"
Kamito feigned ignorance.
He knows this place is used to be where Est was sealed before, but he couldn't let Claire know about this matter.
Suddenly, Claire loses her cheerful mood and sulks.
Seeing that, Kamito can't help but be curious.
"What happened, Claire?"
"... I'm still weak after all."
It's not like Kamito doesn't understand the meaning behind those words.
Kamito knows about it better than anyone else after living through the hell during his time in the institution.
"Don't feel bad. That's not a strange thing, even for an imperial soldier, they wouldn't be able to defeat that demon spirit alone—"
"—But you're able to do it! If only I have a stronger spirit—!"
"My case is different... Besides, using a strong spirit consumes a lot of divine power. You can't hold out for too long in a battle."
"But I also can't do much with weak spirits! ... Scarlet is not weak, I know. But, her power is not enough to reach 'her' level..."
Kamito doesn't understand what is she talking about, but he's sure that Claire is doing this for a certain goal of defeating someone that's pretty strong.
Seeing this, Kamito can't help but pat her head out of care.
"Re— I mean, Kamito?"
"Don't rush things, everyone needs to train to get stronger. What's the point of rushing if it's only endangering your own life?"
Claire nods, but her heart doesn't.
How can someone as strong as you understand how I feel...
She thinks.
After pondering for a while, she lifts her head.
"Okay, enough of this! Let's hurry to the headmistress' office! I bet she's angry by now because you're late."
"I'm not late, this letter didn't state the time in the first place."
Claire doesn't listen to what Kamito's saying and walks away with a cheerful hum.
Kamito could hear Est and Restia talking but he can't hear what are they talking about because their voice is too small.
(What are you two talking about?)
Listen here, Kamito. This holy spirit is— UMPH!
Don't mind her, Kamito. Just go and have fun with that girl.
Kamito doesn't understand how Est covers Restia's mouth in his mind, but he decides to forget it and chases Claire who's walking ahead.
"Say, Kamito? I wonder what kind of wish you state 3 years ago."
"..."
Kamito remembers the time when he won the blade dance.
It's not like his wish wasn't granted.
But at that time, it was not him who stated the wish.
It was Restia.
And the wish she stated is totally different from what they planned to say.
"... It's not something worth mentioning."
"Hum... Then another question."
"What is it?"
"How can you use 2 spirits at once? Despite being a male."
"I don't think I know the answer. It just happened..."
Kamito shows Claire both of his spirit emblems on both of his hands.
Claire examines them carefully but she doesn't seem to understand anything.
1,000 years ago, there exist another male elementalist who contracted 100 spirits at once.
Solomon, as known as the Demon King who brought chaos on the planet.
His power is too otherworldly that no one can oppose him.
Corpses followed him wherever he go.
However, there's a single hero who wields the Demon Slayer, Terminus Est; Kamito's first contracted spirit.
She fought bravely and killed the demon king Solomon in his lair, but she died with him afterward.
The hero saved the world from the demon king's hands.
Hence, she was worshipped by every people on the planet.
Her name is Areishia Idriss, as known as the Sacred Queen.
To remember her heroic deeds, the spirit academy was named after her name.
Even though Est is Kamito's spirit now, she doesn't remember anything about the past.
All that she recall is only she's Kamito's sword and she was used to slay the demon king 1,000 years ago.
.
..
...
After walking for around 2 hours, they can finally see the city from the forest.
Claire points at the towering building in the city.
"That's Areishia Spirit Academy."
Kamito looks at the huge building and smiles a bit.
"I'm back, old hag."
Whispering that, he resumes his walk.
Claire leads him to the front gate of the academy before turning to him again.
"Should I take you to headmistress' room? It might be a disaster if the students were to see you walking around the academy. This place is off-limit to males after all."
"I should be fine by myself, but I guess I wouldn't want to create a commotion. Please take me there, Claire."
"Gladly."
Areishia Spirit Academy, it's a place where princess maidens and shrine maidens are studying and tempering their skills. There is not a single man here which literally is the heaven for men. But, this heaven is also not a place where they can just enter. Entering without any authority means death.
The guards here won't show any mercy to trespasser.
They will be mercilessly kicked out or at worst they will be killed.
The empire has approved of this manner to teach discipline to the people of this country.
So they can't sue the academy even if something were to happen to outsider inside the academy.
The reason why they create this rule is to protect the purity of the princess maidens until they're leaving the academy. As the result, they need to stay in the academy's dorm to prevent themselves from being defiled.
"Halt! What do you want to do here!"
Right when the guards notice Kamito, they immediately stop their steps.
They're around Claire's age with the difference of the armor they're wearing.
The guards here are also the students of Areishia Spirit Academy called the Sylphid Knights.
They're the squad created to protect the safety and peace in the academy.
Claire holds out her hand telling them that it's okay.
But the guards seem dissatisfied.
Which is why Kamito have to show them the letter with the first rank emblem seal on it.
"F-Forgive my rudeness! You can pass!"
Kamito's surprised how their attitude change so dramatically by only this seal.
But, Kamito notices something amiss from the way they see Claire.
"Claire, why are they so hostile toward you?"
"... Don't mind them."
Claire's face shows a clear displeasure.
She doesn't want to talk about this matter.
Catching the mood, Kamito stops asking.
It seems like she's a problem child, Kamito.
Fufufu, don't say such mean words, holy spirit. It's so unlike you.
Shut up, darkness spirit.
Kamito agrees that Est has a point.
If that's not the case, he doesn't see any point of them hating Claire.
He's really curious about why they would act that way toward a girl like Claire.
"... You don't have to worry about me too much, I'm used to this already."
"Used, you say..."
Kamito can't accept the way the guards treated Claire, but he can't do anything because he's an outsider.
He got no right to say anything about what happened in this place.
After walk for quite a time, they meet a blonde beauty with emerald green eyes.
Walking with a wolf beside her.
Having noticed Claire's presence, she makes an elegant posture.
"Oh, if it isn't Claire Rouge. What are you going to do this time?"
"What I do is none of your business, Rinslet Laurenfrost."
Rinslet gives a smile and switches her attention to Kamito.
Kamito's captivated by her bewitching smile for a moment before Claire steps on his foot.
"Ouch! What was that for?!"
"You looked stupid, so I need to wake you up."
I agree.
Fufu, how dishonest.
Just when Kamito is wondering where did her respect for Ren Ashbell go, Kamito notices that Claire's mood has worsen.
It seems like Claire really doesn't like to get near Rinslet.
To make it worse, she looks like she's ready to get into a combat anytime.
He can feel the aura surrounding them is both cold and hot.
The wolf beside Rinslet starts to bare its fangs as it growls.
Not to mention Scarlet, Claire's spirit has also manifested beside her though in a smaller version due to the fight with Demon Spirit before.
"Wait, wait! Why do you two need to show such hostility!?"
"Don't disturb us, Kamito. I need to settle a score with her."
"My, if you're really worried how about becoming my servant instead of hers?"
"S-Servant!? Re— I mean Kamito is not my servant!"
Kamito's starting to lose the control of the situation, if things are left the way it is he fears that the whole place might get destroyed.
But with this he thinks that he finally understand why the guards are not fond of Claire.
And it might be Rinslet as well.
"Mi-Milady! Please stop!"
A big breasted maid is running toward Rinslet with an exhausted look.
Yes, big breasted.
Her breasts even catch Kamito's eyes for a while.
"Carol? Where were you? I'm looking for you everywhere."
"I'm sorry milady... Something came up that I have to handle it for a moment. I thought I can finish on time..."
"Geez, make sure to tell me beforehand next time."
"Um, thanks milady."
"I'll leave it at this for today Claire Rouge. But next time won't be the same."
Claire doesn't answer.
She just sticks her tongue out at Rinslet.
"Oh, and Kamito, right? Do you want to be my servant?"
"—I'm sorry, but I'm no one's servant."
"I-I see, humph. But I will not give up, I will make you forget about Claire. Let's go, Carol."
"Ah, wait for me milady!"
The maid, Carol follows her clumsily.
Kamito wonders how can someone that clumsy can be a maid of a princess.
Then, he turns back to Claire who's looking down.
"Claire... Who is she?"
"... She used to be my childhood friend."
Kamito tilts his head.
"She 'used' to be?"
Claire nods, but she doesn't say anything more than that.
It would be the best to not pry into this matter anymore.
"Forget it... Now where's the old ha- I mean, Greyworth's room?"
Facing Claire's deadly glare, he corrected himself.
It takes him so long to just visit Greyworth's room.
He really wants to finish this matter quickly and leave.
He just doesn't want to have anything to do here anymore.
Claire points at a door beside him.
He looked at the door sign;
-Headmistress' Room
"I see, thank you for bringing me here, Claire."
Actually Kamito already knew where is Greyworth's room because 3 years ago he used to come to this academy and being mistaken by Greyworth as a girl due to his cute face, but he just doesn't want other girls in this academy to freak out when they see him alone, going with Claire helps quite a lot. He also can't be sure that the room didn't change after 3 years. It saved his time to explain things and to find the room, except for when she quarreled with Rinslet.
Kamito pats Claire's head.
She seems to like it.
"Thank you for bringing me here, Claire. I should be fine by my own now."
"You're welcome..."
She looks like she also want to enter Greyworth's room, but she will be most likely be not allowed to enter since what Kamito and Greyworth are going to talk is something pretty important.
So she will just wait outside.
Kamito smiles at her and knocks the door.
*Knock Knock*
"Come in."
Kamito can hear a voice from the room.
He opens the door and walks inside.
There, he finds a girl that wears the same type of armor that the guards from just now wore.
"I can't accept this, headmistress! To accept a man in this academy is just too...!"
"Ellis Fahrengart, do I need to repeat my words?"
The girl whose name is Ellis Fahrengart couldn't say anything in return to the pressuring gaze of the 'Witch', Greyworth Ciel Mais.
Elis gnashes her teeth as she apologizes.
"I-I'm sorry..."
After that, she turns around to glare at Kamito and walks straight to the door.
Then she closes the door with a slam.
"What have you done, Greyworth?"
Kamito stares at her, the 'witch' with troubled look.
Greyworth chuckles as she holds her pen.
"She's simply one of the opposition team that objected your coming to this academy."
Greyworth smirks as she writes something on a paper.
Kamito who has nowhere to sit, stands in front of her desk.
"It's been 3 years, isn't it? Time sure flies, don't you think so?"
Greyworth smiles.
Even though she doesn't seem to get old, she's actually already at the age where she should've stop working and rest at home.
That's why Kamito called her old hag.
"Yes, and you didn't even change a bit, old hag."
"And you changed a lot, show some respect to the elders. I still remember the polite you 3 years ago when you called me miss Greyworth back then, fufufu."
"Shut up, old hag..."
Kamito's embarrassed when he recalled of his 3 years ago self.
Back then he really thought that Greyworth is still a young woman, but when he knew the truth he's really ashamed of himself that he can't even beat someone who's already over-age.
But even though she is an old woman, she's still his teacher who taught him how to fight and taught him the Secret Blade Arts skills that he used in the Blade Dance 3 years ago.
"Judging from the way you act, you seemed to expose your identity to someone already, no?"
This question almost stops his heartbeat.
But good thing he can still remain calm.
"No, there's no way I would let anyone know about my real identity."
Greyworth stares right into his eyes.
Just from looking, Kamito knew.
It's impossible to lie to the 'Witch'.
Hence, he sighs.
"You're right, it's an unexpected accident, an Astral Gate suddenly opened and an A-rank demon spirit came out from it."
"Demon Spirit?"
Greyworth narrow her eyebrows.
She can't believe that a demon spirit appeared at the human world.
It's not impossible, but it never happened before.
"It seems like I've got to investigate something after this."
Greyworth took out her thick book.
It's probably around 3,000 pages.
Kamito started to get dizzy just from looking at the book.
Since his intention coming here is not to watch Greyworth read her book, he takes out the envelope he received from her.
"You called me here, what for, old hag?"
"... Claire Rouge, come in."
"Hyaah!?"
Claire, who's eavesdropping until now yelps in surprise.
Her voice is very cute that anyone would be in glee because of her.
She opens the door timidly and entered the room.
"Y-Yes, headmistress?"
"If you want to hear it you should just come in, not just eavesdropping."
Greyworth doesn't look at her but she knew that Claire's beside Kamito now.
Kamito looks at Claire and said;
"I thought you've gone back already, eavesdropping is not good you know."
"S-Shut up! So what if I'm curious!"
"You can flirt as much as you want afterward, but not in front of me."
Upon hearing the word 'flirt' Claire blushes.
She's red to her ears but Kamito just sighs.
"Why are you calling her in, old hag?"
"Ren- I mean Kamito! Show some respect!"
Greyworth puts her hands under her chin.
"I understand that you're not going to participate once again considering how you've lived your life until now. But... 'She' is back."
"She... !? Could it be...?"
"Ren Ashbell. She is back."
Hearing that name, Claire's eyes widen.
"Eh? But, Ren Ashbell is..."
"An impostor, isn't it?"
Greyworth nods her head.
"She might be an impostor. You're free to reject this invitation of mine. But I think you have a different point of view."
"..."
Kamito stays quiet.
The reason why he chose Ren Ashbell as his name 3 years ago, the reason why he joined the blade dance 3 years ago, he gets a bad feeling regarding that name.
...
What happened, darkness spirit?
No, it's nothing.
Even Restia's getting restless.
Kamito knows that she might be thinking about the same thing that is going in his mind.
Hence...
"I will join the blade dance this year."
"Are you sure, Kamito? From what I've seen, you're totally not in the shape to fight. Although you still have 3 months."
"Headmistress is right! Why do you want to join, Kamito?"
"... I have my own reasons. But still, I want to join."
"Kamito..."
"... I see, then feel free to do so."
Kamito nods his head.
With Claire who seems to be thinking of something.
.
..
...
"What's up, Claire? You looked really restless."
"... How can you be so calm, instead!"
Kamito and Claire are currently staying in the same room.
How did they end up like this?
Not too long ago...
"Kamito, since we need to form a team, do you mind... Um... To team up with me?"
"Huh? Uh... Well I don't mind... But are you fine with me not using my spirits?"
"It's okay. Just me and Scarlet should be enough as our offense power!"
"If that so, alright then."
After Kamito finished his words, Greyworth cuts in.
"If you're going to participate you will have to attend the class as well. Regarding your class, you're going to get in the Raven Class, the same class as Claire Rouge."
"I see, then it looks like I will have to count on you from now on, Claire."
"Eh? Ah, okay."
Claire nods readily.
Greyworth looks like she just remembered something, and;
"Also Kamito, you're going to stay in Claire Rouge's room, you have one empty space in your room, right, Claire Rouge?"
"What!?"
Claire can't help but yelp in surprise.
Suddenly being forced to stay in the same room with someone with different gender is just too much for her, who's an innocent princess maiden to take.
"Since if Kamito's staying in other place there might be a chance that someone might found out that she's Ren Ashbell, the best option is to put him in your room, who already knew about his identity. Don't worry, if he did anything indecent feel free to report it to the Sylphid Knights, I'm sure Ellis will turn him into a mince meat."
"Don't say such a horrible thing so leisurely!"
Kamito lets out an outburst.
But Claire who's not used to men will not approve of this of course.
"No, headmistress! He might saw me when I'm bathing or he may sniff at my clothes!"
"That seemed like something Kamito would do."
"I must agree with you this time, darkness spirit."
Restia and Est could hear everything that Kamito hear, that's why they felt like to tease him.
"Why in the world would I do that?!"
Kamito who's being treated as a pervert can't suppress his calm anymore.
"Claire Rouge, this is a command. If you think that's too much for you, you can live alone at other place, but I doubt anyone would want to have you in."
"... Ugh..."
"Hey, old hag! You're being too strict!"
Kamito might not like Claire's words, but he can't just stay quiet letting Greyworth decides things one-sidedly like this.
"I already said it, right? If you have anything to complaint about, just report it to the Sylphid Knights, they have the authority to execute anyone who disturbed the public morals."
"But still..."
"Or you would prefer sleeping outdoor, Kamito?"
"... Tsk..."
If it's only him, he's fine.
But he can't possibly let Est and Restia who's a girl to sleep outdoor.
"Then, it's decided. You two are dismissed."
Saying that, Greyworth returns to her book.
She seems so busy.
They can't voice out objections, so they can only return to Claire's room in defeat.
The 'witch' can't be defeated no matter what, Kamito should understand that the most.
"I can't believe this... I'm glad that I can be in the same room with Ren Ashbell, but that's only if you are a girl!"
"I'm sorry to be born a boy, but it's not like I have a choice! That old hag is just too hard to deal with!"
"She may be strict, but show her more respect!"
"Whatever..."
Kamito give up, Claire didn't see Greyworth as a bad woman, even though she forced her to stay together with Kamito, she still respected her as a great spirit knight.
Scarlet who already recovered her divine power is walking around the room.
She seemed to look for something.
"Good thing I have Scarlet here, If you tried to do anything funny... Cinders."
"I wouldn't do something like that."
Kamito sleeps on the other bed, since the room's originally meant for 2 people, but Claire's roommate moved to the other room about 3 years ago. So until now, she's sleeping alone with Scarlet.
"I think I should eat something..."
"You're going to cook? But I don't see any stove here?"
"Stove? Of course I have it, Scarlet."
Scarlet jumped on a table and lit fire at its tail.
Claire's heating the water by using Scarlet's fire.
"To think that you used a high-class fire spirit to cook your food... You really made many unfortunate spirit users became your enemy."
"It's fine, I don't really need a friend after all."
Kamito found that Claire's acting strange.
It seems like she's trying to endure something.
But he doesn't want to pry into her affair too much.
Claire finished cooking her instant noodle.
Kamito who saw that sighed and checked at her fridge to see if there's anything to cook.
But he's really surprised to see what's inside the fridge.
"Your fridge's filled with so many soft drinks! And you only have instant noodles for your food!?"
"It's cheaper, and soft drinks are tasty... What's wrong with it?"
"Everything! You will get sick if you live like this! Arrgh... Hm? You have canned vegetables and meats too?"
"Canned foods are easy to eat and they don't need to be cooked."
Kamito sighed at Claire's lifestyle.
He took some of the canned foods.
"What are you doing?"
"Stop eating that noodle, I will cook something more appropriate for you to eat."
Claire tilted her head in confusion, but she still nodded and stopped eating.
After waiting for about 30 minutes, Kamito finally came out from the kitchen.
"Sorry for the wait."
He puts a plate of salad, meatball soup, tomato sauced fried egg, and the last one is fried fish.
Claire looked at the foods in disbelief.
"You can cook, Kamito?"
"A bit, I learned cooking from the part time job I took these 3 years and my survival life at the jungle. Well, I don't know about the taste, though. Try it."
"Umm."
Claire nods and takes one of the meatball.
Then she eats it.
"How is it?"
"It's delicious! You're really a great cook!"
"This is nothing, everyone can cook this with enough practice."
"But it still is very delicious!"
Claire keeps on eating as she let Scarlet have some of the food.
Scarlet is chewing on a fried fish.
She seems to like it.
"You fed her too?"
"Since she likes it I don't think it's wrong?"
Spirits doesn't digest foods in their body, the food they eat are converted to divine power, instead.
After they finished eating, Claire lay down on her bed, satisfied.
"Hyaahn... It's been a long time since I have a decent meal like this..."
"Don't lay down on your bed after eating, you will turn to cow."
"That's just a superstition."
Saying that, Claire fell asleep.
Kamito sighed and pulled the blanket to cover Claire's body.
"You'll catch cold if you just sleep like that... Hm?"
Kamito noticed that Scarlet's brushing her face against his leg.
Kamito smiled as he stroke Scarlet's head.
"Kamito, you're a jerk."
"Good words, holy spirit. He's having an affair even though he already has us."
Est and Restia appeared in their human form.
They're standing behind Kamito, that's why he didn't notice them.
"Est? Restia, too?"
"Meeow~"
Scarlet walked away from him and brushed her cheek at Est's leg.
Est crouched down to stroke her chin.
"Oh my, isn't she cute?"
Just when Restia's about to touch her, Scarlet hissed.
"It looks like she hates you, Restia."
"Sh-Shut up!"
Restia pouts.
Kamito's tries his best to suppress his laughter, good thing that he managed to do it.
Est's playing with Scarlet's paw like a kid.
-Maybe Est likes Scarlet too.
Kamito thought.
"Now, Kamito."
Restia links her arms to Kamito's left arm.
Kamito who still haven't caught the current situation reacted a little too late.
"Now that the holy spirit is having fun, why don't we have our 'Happy time'?"
Restia smiles seductively.
"Re-Restia, hold on..."
Est, who notices that Restia's making her move, stands and pulls Kamito's right arm.
"Kamito is not yours."
"He's also not yours."
"I exchanged vows with him first."
They are playing tug of war with his body.
Good thing that Claire's sleeping.
Now that he thinks about it, Est is wearing the same blouse like Restia's, the only difference is the color, Est's blouse is pure white colored.
"Why don't you two stop already... You might wake Claire up."
"Not until the holy spirit let go."
