Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance:Volume1 Chapter3

Chapter 3: Classmate Princess

Part 1

A stubborn footstep resounds in the academy hallway.

A sleeve uniform has been provided directly to Kamito, following the swaying pony tail while walking.

The uniform, Greyworth prepared was a custom made design for his personal use. The fundamental collar was the same as the other student, a pure white, but the dress under it, certainly not a skirt. The cloth of his pants which was incorporated with holiness was worn nicely like a gentleman.

(Shit, the size is perfect...., She knew it from the very beginning)

Kamito cursed Greyworth in his head.

“The instructor building and the student building were connected in the second floor hallway. The cafeteria is on the first floor”

Guiding him in the school building was the girl of sometime ago, Ellis Fahrengart.

While Kamito was changing into his uniform, Greyworth seems to have appealed to her.

At first, in the broad open has been showing a displeased face, too serious or is it her personality, thrown it away on the way and dutifully continued guide him.

The school building design by random has a complex design, in order to create a comfortable space for the spirit, adopting the standard of the latest spirit engineering architectural style. Without any difficulties, people who are using it can be said has completely ignored the design.

Staring at the swaying hair of Ellis in both sides, Kamito had recalled the earlier conversation. After all, that witch has predicted something he can't ignored ---

Hearing that name which was mentioned, Kamito left with no other choice.

Ren Ashbell --- suddenly appeared three years ago, The Strongest Blade Play Dancer.

And, that Ren Arsberg Contracted Spirit is ---

A summoned spirit in a form of a young girl.

"..........."

While walking, Kamito dropped his gaze on his left hand covered with a leather glove.

(.........No, She can't be. because, she is ---)

Kamito shook his head. Trying to deny such possibility --- he was thinking in that time.

(....Well whatever. I’ll make it sure with my own eyes. Now, she was dancing in her climax, that Greyworth)

“You.....”

And, Ellis who was walking in front of him stopped.

Facing him with her hand in her waist, she sternly scowled at Kamito.

“Are you listening or what? It’s for your own good that I’m explaining these things”

“.....um, my bad. I was thinking something”

“Mm, thinking something?”

For what reason, Ellis face became red, and quickly walked.

“Yo, You, are you thinking something lewd behind my back!”

"Wai, Wait, Don't swing your blade in this place!"

Swinging the blade in a point blank range, Kamito quickly avoid it.

(She means it.....this gal!)

Apparently, It's common sense that all the student of this academy has no immunity to man.

Maybe, sometime ago when they are marching walking together, she was being conscious of the fact that Kamito as a man, may have done something to her.

"Pay attention, don’t misunderstand anything! I have never accepted you and there's no way that I'm willing to guide you, I’m just complying Academy Director's Order!"

“Ow, You got it. But, I never considered you as an enemy. That is because, Today you're the same student of this Academy like me”

"I'll never bother to accept you. Such a man as a spirit contractor, There's no way I would accept it!"

Returning in her heels, Ellis began to walk quickly.

"Altogether, Why would the Academy Director would want a man transfer here....."

.......It seems, that he's the type who was always hated.

(Well, it can't be helped. This is my fate as the only man, in this garden of maidens)

It's like a lion has been released in a herd of rabbits.

Naturally, the overly boxed princess would accumulate a sense of wariness with a man in their same age.

The <Spirit Blade Dance Festival> would be held two months later.

Living as a student inside, gradually he would obtained their trust.

(Hmm, yeah. speaking of life)

Suddenly, he became anxious in his mind.

"Hey, Ellis"

“You”

Ellis turned around in a sullen mood.

Before you speak her first name in a friendly manner, should you consider whether she would be angry?

“From today onward, where should I lodge at?”

There was no male dormitory in this academy, and there's no way that he would be given a room in the female dormitory. The academy city they would attend is on the foot of the mountain.

"Don't worry about it, the academy has prepared a lodge in a great cost for you. Especially a part of the donation has been addressed in the construction cost"

"A thorn in a delicate place in a way"

.......Well whatever. It's certainly better than being homeless outside in the <Spirit Forest>.

"It can be seen from this window --- there is it"

Kamito saw Ellis was pointing out.

"....un, where is it?"

Looking around in the vast ground, it seems he can’t find any lodge house there.

"Look well, over there in the corner of the plaza square"

Ellis was pointed to ---

“That’s..... my lodge?”

A splendid building with a large roof.

Spacious than an ordinary residence house, inside it there are many room.

Beside it was a exclusive bathing area. In its entrance, a manger has been piling up there.

"Is, Isn't that a stable!"

Kamito yelled loudly.

"Do you have some bad eyes? Look well"

"Ha?"

(Um, Do I find it strange?)

It was only the stable, he had seen.

No, it was a stable at best. After all they are soothing their horses in that place.

(Wh?)

---And, from there Kamito discovered it.

Next to the stable, A wooden planks which was put together erected there, was actually the lodge.

Here and there, different lengths of planks has been nailed pin down together.

The roof is flaky. A sudden gust of strong wind can demolished such a lodge.

"Ah, maybe --- that one?"

"Yeah"

Ellis single minded continue nodded.

"Where's the splendid lodge! It seems that will not make three days!"

"At three o'clock break. My contracted spirit would disdain it"

"What are you trying to do! I mean, that was built in a high cost, isn't it?"

"High cost. Are you now satisfied, for wasting my time to you?"

“I’m full of dissatisfaction. It was almost a harassment to me”

"There's a proper bed in that thatched roof"

"I having the same treatment that of a horse....."

"Fu, You have a strong sense of pride. It was definitely a horse worthy of care"

The pony tail in her nape is brushing in her shoulder, Ellis cut in the middle of his talk.

Somewhat he wants to cry.

"The restroom? The bath?"

"You can use the back of the lodge as the restroom. It's bad to share a bath"

"Shared bath......with the horses"

Kamito grumble, "Are you complaining?" Ellis scowled at him.

"Look, even one of the thousand, you tried to invade inside the academy's restroom, my contracted spirit would turn you into a sauté mushroom"

"So, You really like to cook?"

"Aa, It's a hobby. Someday an ideal gentleman will take my hands for marriage from cooking, So I'm normally training on it"

"Really, um, by any chance can you cook for me, I'm looking forward to taste it"

"Aa. if there's a chance, I would brag my cooking... um, Who are you should I do it for you!"

Zing - In a flash the blade has been fired, in a paper thin difference Kamito dodge it.

"......You. I would not asked your hands for marriage prior to your cooking ---"

"Uh.........."

In a half eyed closed eye, being self aware, Ellis quickly took away her eyes.

"Another thing, Are you really the leader of the knights which maintains the discipline of this place?"

"Shu, Shut up, Are you implying that it was strange!"

Kamito shrugged his shoulder in relief, then face out into the corridor.

"Let's step aside the dormitory for now. Where's my classroom?"

"The Raven class. Where extraordinary problem child are gathered, a fitting class for you"

"Extraordinary problem child?"

"Just as the meaning of the word. ......uh, Why having a bitter face?"

"No, I have no idea of it"

Kamito remembered in his head, the crimson hair young girl, he encountered inside the forest.

Seriously no way ! --- A stroke of uneasiness, he can't rub away.

"Are you also from the Raven Class?"

Kamito tentatively asked a question.

Enough to brush the phrase "Extraordinary problem child" from the young girl.

"As if.... I'm from the superior class Weasel!"

In an instance, a flash of sword swing.

This time expected from below, the forelocks was slightly been cut.

"....th, the Fahrengart hidden sword skill has been fend off"

"....therefore don't swing naturally to me your hidden sword skill!"

Climbing up in the staircase from the long corridor, Kamito finally saw his classroom.

A large wooden double leaf door with an abstract spirit shape carving was there.

Areishia Spirit Academy classrooms are arrange by a floor apart each other. Because, classroom close to each other, would likely create a duel commotion immediately.

"All the students attending here are princess from noble families. It's their fate from their lineage to be here inside. As a regulation of the academy, personal struggle is prohibited, avoiding an endless pointless duel around"

While sighing, Ellis clasped her fist strongly.

"We the Sylphid Knights will protect this peaceful academy from arbitrators"

"No, the one who is disturbing this peace is You ---"

--- Over the said word. Kamito shuts his own mouth.

In Ellis' side silhouette, there is the deadly clear blade.

He thought that the young girl will immediately twirl the dangerous blade --- the impression change a little.

She possess a pride that of a knight.

The only troubling existence from this academy called, a Male Spirit Contractor.

From the point of view of the leader of the knights who maintains public moral, Kamito has been discern no more than that.

Despite of it, She has told it neatly face to face to him.

A bit stubborn, an unladylike honest feeling it was.

"....hm, Why are you looking in my face"

Ellis doubtful, frown her eyebrows.

"No, I'm sorry for various teasing sometime ago"

"......? Wh, Why You, suddenly!"

The embarrassed reaction of her face seemed strangely somewhat cute.

Part 2

Looking inside the large auditorium classroom, no one was there. In this local time, everyone was out. Perhaps they are all training outside in the field training area.

"It's okay so far, I'll hear the rest later from my classmates. Thanks for your guidance."

"Fu, such gratitude is unnecessary. If there is a failure to properly guide you, You might deliberately mistake your way into the toilet later."

"You really have no faith in me......"

At this comparatively terrible line from the departing Ellis, Kamito let out a deep sigh.

In the tune of the first day, he must strictly gain the trust of his classmates.

While muttering, Kamito stepped into the depopulated classroom.

Then,at that moment. Swoosh, a slash sounded in the air ---

"Gueh!"

A whip forcefully coiled around Kamito's neck.

Being caught by the rough sudden attack, he has been pulled thrown down in the corridor.

(Wh, What!?)

cough* looking around himself while coughing ---

"Kazehaya Kamito!"

Above his head, a familiar young girl's voice descended to him.

......honestly, a voice he doesn't want to hear.

"Y, Yo, You have escaped from me, despite being my contracted spirit!"

"Hugh, ug"

"Defying!"

"Guh!"

Feigning ignorance the blowing shrill of his voice, the thing around his neck tightens.

(This sucks.....)

Thrown down flat in his back, In front of Kamito ---

A blazing red hair beautiful young girl with her folded arms looking down to Kamito.

The blowing winds from the window caused her uniform’s pleated skirt float in the air.

“Claire, You....”

A deep groan of Kamito from his throat.

"What, Do you intend to reason out?"

"No, in this place, I can barely see your panty"

“Wha!”

Claire face blushed then quickly restrain her skirt.

"Pe, Pe, Pe, Pervert~!"

Gogogogogogogogogo......!

A heat haze coming from Claire's body was rising.

No. It was not a heat haze. It was a completely burning Astral Zero's flame.

"It seems, you really want to be turned into cinder, Kamito?"

"Wai, Wait, not yet!"

Kamito felt that his life was seriously in danger, quickly shook his head.

"Black is to early for you"

"...............gu!"

Strike* --- then Claire's whole body solidify.

From her neck to the tip of her ears, it was boiling in deep red ---

"It, It's not black! It is always white, black is....rarely, are you trying to say, I'm an idiot!"

fwump*. .......it seems overheat.

In her pair of weakness, she collapses in that place.

Overly boxed into an ideal priestess was her great weakness.

.......Although, She is a really good spirit contractor.

"Uugh, it had been seen twice...... I can't be someone's bride anymore"

With her both knees on the floor, Claire is weeping in gloominess.

......Somewhat, it was an astounding worse emotion.

"My bad....dont cry, ok?"

Kamito stands up then approaches her, Claire glare to him.

.....Frightening. A line of sight that can burn a person.

She wipe her tears with her uniform sleeve, then clench tightly her leather whip.

"Kazehaya Kamito"

"Wh, What?"

"I, I'm quite generous, so I'll give you one chance to explain"

Hidden within her obviously shaking voice was her frightful tone.

........Extremely angry.

"Sometime ago, Why do you escaped?"

"No, It's common sense that I would think escaping"

Kamito unintentionally reply immediately.

An answer --- from his regrets.

"......I got it. There's only death for a fugitive slave"

"Wa, Wait, Calm down. From a spirit I have become a slave!"

"Slave, You're my slave spirit!"

"A new species of a born spirit, yet to be announced by the Spirit Research Agency"

Incidentally in the large harmonious <Spirit Forest>, there are species of spirit yet to be found out.

"Ch, Cheeky slave --- No, a slave spirit isn't it!"

"Uwah, I gi.....give, give up, seriously I'll die!"

Forcefully the thing in his neck ruthlessly tightens, and his consciousness was likely to jump about.

(The knight group, what are they doing! A murder was about to happen inside the academy!)

Looking around in the corridor with no sign of any student.

"By the way ---"

Then, gathering up in Claire's face a rather displease mood.

"Sometime ago, you are speaking with the knight group's Ellis Fahrengart, you seems getting along well with her. What does that mean?"

"*cough, the thing you saw that seems we are getting along together? She was just guiding me"

"Guide? Why?"

"Because today, I have specially transferred into this academy"

"Ha?..... You have transferred? Here at Areishia Spirit Academy?"

Claire spread open her eyes, then look into Kamito's uniform figure, she just notice lately.

"No way....because you are a man!"

"Aa. But, you have seen me contracted a spirit"

Kamito shown his shaking right hand where the spirit carved seal was imprinted.

"I'm a male spirit contractor. It's Greyworth, the one who called me was to blame"

"........"

Therefore, Claire ---

Lost in thought, put her finger in her cherry colored lips.

"Really, what........a transfer student......"

pfft* pfft* a solitary laugh immerse from her.

(......this gal is quiet mature, even though she was usually a cute young girl)

And, while staring at her face, Kamito think such thing.

Claire suddenly raised her face, then turned around from him.

"Um, because you are in this place, perhaps, you are also a Raven class?"

"Yeah. .....come to think of it. You have the same class"

"Yeah. I'm also a Raven class!"

Imaginably Claire, end it with a cheerful voice. Somehow seems awfully happy.

Also in negligence, involuntarily she has a smiling face.

"Say, since it has been put that way, I'll give you another chance Kamito"

"What chance?"

"Contract. Without a doubt, this time become my exclusive contracted spirit Kamito"

"Wh, Why me, should be the one to do that"

"Fu, It's natural! because, You have stole my spirit"

Bending her unfortunate breast, Claire pointed her index finger in his front eyes.

As always, has an arrogant reason.

(......An annoying gal)

Kamito is really quite irritated. Particularly with no gratitude, for saving her life, he has been called in a way as a thief.

--- He doesn't want to be scold by this arrogant princess.

"Okay. I'll bind a spirit contract with you, alright"

Helplessly, Kamito purposely nod his head.

"........eh? um, so, at last you have finally become obedient"

She thought that he would be more resistant. In the unexpected response, Claire as though quite bewilder nodded.

"In case ---"

Slowly, Kamito raised Claire's chin by his fingertip.

Slowly, Kamito raised Claire's chin by his fingertip.

"Ha?, wha, wha, what are you doing?"

"Doing, a spirit contract? a high level humanoid spirit contract..... you understand?"

"A......."

Claire face froze.

A high level humanoid contract.

In short, It was ---

"A contract by kiss, isn't it?"

Kamito said it, and Claire's face blushed in red.

"Uh, not, to that extent --- you don't have to, I mean, that"

In a panicky irritably temper, shakes her head furiously.

"Eve, Even without any such formality, I don't mind...."

"Are you scared?"

"I, I'm not particularly scared! um, but, that......"

"Don't, worry"

Shorten the distance of his body into Claire's ear, Kamito whisper teasing her.

"Eh, quite......obscene!?"

(.......Seriously, I don't have such an absolute tolerance)

Such a cute reaction, would want to bully.

Bring closer slowly into his face her thin cherry color lips.

"Um, sorry, I apologize......so.....forgive me"

"Too late ---"

"Su, such contract!"

Claire gives up then closes her eyes.

(An obedient gal.....)

Kamito smile bitterly in his mind.

Of course, he does not seriously plan to contract by kiss.

It was a terrible lie for his revenge, he does not intend to go that far for this devilish young girl.

Soon, he will break it --- then, he will detach his body, in that time.

"Will, You?"

puff*, then he was tap from behind his shoulder.

Kamito slowly timidly* turn around.

In that place ---

"What are you doing, here in this sacred institute Areishia Spirit Academy?"

A gentle smile floated from the beautiful woman standing there.

She is about the age in the middle of her twenties. Hanging, stretching out from her black hair was her black rim eye glasses.

She was wearing a dark grey suit on top of her long white robe hem.

"I'm the one in charge of the Raven Class, Freya Grandori. I have heard you from the Academy Director. The Academy first ever male spirit contractor"

While keeping her smile, the beautiful woman introduces herself.

However, her eyes were not smiling.

"Now, what did you do to make our princess cry, bastard?"

Part 3

Kamito rise up into the platform, causing a quiet murmurs within the classroom.

Transferred as a male spirit contractor, rumors it may seems, but, not often have a chance to meet a young boy with their same age, they can't hide their anxiety and curiosity from him.

"Is that a male spirit contractor ---"

"Have some bad eyes. Seems a murderer"

"Seems like he had already rape Claire Rouge"

"Wh, What rape?"

"I, I don't know, but....so, somewhat, perverted!"

"However, his delinquent look, is quite so cool ♪"

"Don't be fool by his outward appearance. Because every man is such a perverted beast"

"A rumor that he had done it also with Ellis Fahrengart"

"eeh, seriously with the leader of the knights? By the way, done what?"

"I don't know but..... so, somewhat, detestable!"

.......*whisper *whisper.

(.......What, they are talking nonsensically)

While watching in the old theater like structure of the classroom, Kamito let out a sigh.

The number of students are fourteen, five person more. Everyone has been brought up as a princess. Almost all are looking toward Kamito with interest, but some of the girls seems really scared.

(Well, It was an expected reaction from them.)

After all, first and foremost they can't imagine a male spirit contractor, formerly a name of an ancient demon king who brought disaster and chaos in the continent. ..... has an excessive bad image.

Inside the classroom been rinsed with needles by their glances, Kamito immediately ran away.

Especially coming from the middle is an intense glance --- one in the front seat, sitting there was the red haired young girl.

Claire glare that can burn people merely by her sight was fixed staring at Kamito.

"Burn, Burn, Burn......"

beep* beep* cursing words.

Apparently, a while ago until now, she seems still angry. --- obviously.

For that, Kamito regret it a bit too much.

(If I do not properly apologize later)

"obliterate into coal, obliterate into coal, obliterate into coal....."

.......don't know whether he would be forgiven when he apologize.

"Arg. you chirp. Shut the fuck. Credit minus for you. bastard"

The professor in charge Freya Grandori, hit the desk with the class list, and the classroom become silent.

She was practically not a subject professor who lectures, but a member of spirit research agency who is traveling in every region of the <Spirit Forest> of the continent as a field work.

"Here, hurry up and introduce yourself"

The eye glasses hanging in the beautiful woman gives her an intellectual appearance, but, the opening of her mouth let out a strong expression.
