Chapter 125 – Watching

000

“Really… How many people do you think are living in this house right now… Maybe set up a soundproof barrier…”

Black shadows were deep under Lila’s eyes as she cut the fried eggs in front of her eyes with a knife while she was talking.

“I’m sorry. I’ll be careful next time. Here’s coffee.”

“…Huh.”

Cleon took the coffee she offered her, but Layla turned her head away from her anger.

Last night, when I barely fell asleep while studying until late, it seems that I couldn’t sleep because the sounds from Luti and Cleon’s affair were too loud.

I don’t know if I can stop in the middle, but the sound in the room was so intense that I didn’t dare to go in, so Layla set up a soundproofing barrier before anyone else woke up…

Also, one of Luti’s blunt little horns is half as long as it was yesterday.

I was more concerned about Ruti rubbing her stomach while eating and making a happy face.

“You had a good time last night.”

Perdia quietly said that to Luti.

Thanks to Lila’s sacrifice(?), The others were able to spend the night safely without disturbing sleep.

He didn’t show any sign of tiredness.

“Yesterday, two people…”

Galatea sits next to Cleon and speaks jealously, leaning her face on Cleon’s shoulder her.

Cleon, who knows what that means, flinches and looks down at Galatea with a slightly stiff smile.

“Not really. I don’t care. I’m generous. Besides, I was the first to get pregnant. Just remember that the twins, Luti, and the dragon are all below me.”

The voice itself was n’t that cold, but Galatea’s obsession her, akin to monopoly, ran down Cleon’s spine.

“Hey~! Cleon! What name should I give the baby! It takes about 10 months to lay an egg, but about 10 years to be born? I think I’ll need a name for it until then…”

Ruti ignores Galatea, and she talks while clinging to Cleon’s arm her from the other side.

She was very angry when she found out that her own sister had kidnapped her Cleon and mixed her body with her there.

With Cleon’s explanation, the misunderstanding was resolved to some extent, and by using the power of the dragon ring, which could be said to be a gift from his older sister, Cleon, who once again took the form of a dragon, successfully created a baby inside the belly.

Leila, Sasha, and Quon looked at Luti with a little jealousy and envy.

Although Per Diaman clapped softly and nodded her head.

“As expected, Cleon-sama. Compared to humans, dragons have a very low chance of fertilization and conception, but Cleon-sama seems to have overcome even such difficulties.”

“No… That’s…”

Cleon tries to answer Perdia’s words that it was all thanks to the ‘Dragon Ring’, but before that, Quon clears his throat.

“Hey… Isn’t it kind of like talking about that at the dinner table?”

“M-That’s right! I don’t think talking like this from morning is good for school or education! Right? Caliburn?”

“That’s right~ All I can say is that I’m looking forward to the future because I think there will be more brothers~”

The two felt quite close after spending the day with Sasha yesterday, but Caliburn’s thinking still seems to be a little far from humans, which makes Sasha difficult.

As a bonus, she was the only Sasha in the house who didn’t show as much respect to Caliburn, who was younger than Sasha outwardly.

Layla sighs in such a situation and looks at her Cleon her.

“Cleon, you… Are you on a date with Aruru today?”

“… I just make an appointment and go with you.”

When Cleon talks awkwardly, Layla points out, with veins growing on her forehead.

“If you don’t admit it’s her date her, then you’ll have to cut off the one on her her bottom her… I don’t really want to say anything about you hanging out with her. If you impregnate her like her lutie or her twins…”

Isn’t it not enough to steal the virginity before marriage of the daughter of Tromeia, the greatest duke in the kingdom, and even make her pregnant?

At that moment, Cleon may be strangled by Sir Percy.

“…Muh, of course. I’ll be careful…”

“Yes. Please do so.”

Lila sips all the coffee left in her mug and gets up from her seat.

“I’m going out during the day too. I should get some sleep now…”

“Outing?”

“Yeah. Haa… It’s annoying…”

Layla said that and led her tired body her to her own room.

Probably, if I collapsed on the bed, I would fall asleep.

“Innis. Do you know something?”

“Umm… I know. But I’ll keep it a secret from Papa. That’ll be fun☆”

“…Bad kid.”

Innis listened to Cleon’s words and followed his master her to her room her.

Whatever the case may be, it was a homunculus who thought of Layla, the creator and master, as the top priority.

“Cleon. Isn’t it time to get ready soon?”

As Quon said that while looking at her watch, Cleon nodded and stood up from her chair.

“I will follow you today.”

Galatea also changed into the shape of her sword as she spoke, and caught it around Cleon’s waist her.

Yesterday, she seemed very sad that she hadn’t taken her out the day before yesterday.

For a while, because of Caliburn’s matter or Demiurge’s matter, the time they couldn’t spend together was getting longer.

She’s an adventurer, and when she’s busy, she’s going out unarmed to the point of unimaginable situations.

Galatea seemed to be quite dissatisfied with that. She quickly leaves the academy and leaves for the royal road, where danger and adventure lurk, and she clings to Cleon every day.

The reason itself is impure, but as she said.

Now, slowly, she had to leave the academy.

Before that, she was just trying to keep her last important promise of her.

Cleon heads to her own room to get her ready to go out.

As Quon looked at Cleon’s back her, she felt something in her chest her unknowingly.

But then she shook her head, brushed it off, and continued to eat breakfast with the rest of the table.

001

The place the two promised to meet was in front of the tower of Aion.

The Tower of Aion during the Academy Festival is popular among general visitors as a gathering place, including the plaza with the coffin of Monad in the center.

The reason for this, of course, is that it is a tall building that is noticeable even from a distance, and that it has a bell tower and a clock so you can immediately check the time.

Normally, guards guarding Vytos’ warehouse were also placed near the entrance of the tower, so ordinary students were reluctant to approach.

During the festival, the guards were only stationed in front of the warehouse so as not to spoil the fun atmosphere.

Thanks to that, a situation where quite a lot of people gathered.

Each stood in pairs with friends, family, and lovers.

However, the gathering of many means that the impure also gather.

“The one standing there~”

Cleon, who was quietly waiting for Aruru in front of the bell tower, suddenly turned his head at the voice he heard next to him.

Then, there was a flash of gold—no, almost yellow hair and slightly tanned brown skin. And a costume that seems to have increased exposure by illegally remodeling the uniform.

With heavy makeup on her face her, she makes eye contact with a schoolgirl looking up at her.

At first glance, she could have been mistaken for a sex student, but she had never seen a student like her.

“Are you waiting for your girlfriend? If it’s okay, would you like to go out with me?”

While she said that, she blatantly showed her breasts, or her skirt her was lifted slightly to make an angle where her underwear could be seen.

No matter how you look at it, it seemed like you were trying to seduce Cleon.

“…”

Cleon looks at her for a moment, then speaks as she lets out a sigh.

“I’m sorry. As you said, I had a prior arrangement.”

“Eh? But most of the students here are aristocrats, so they’re picky, right? If you go with me, you’ll feel good that your girlfriend can’t. I can do all of them…♡”

Saying that, Cleon politely pushed away the female student who was trying to grab Cleon’s arm of her and pull him to her chest of her.

“Because that’s enough.”

With the answer as you thought.

“What, what… Unlike the sympathetic students around you, you seem to have quite a bit of technique, so I tried flirting with you… Heh. Just like your appearance, you’re also a virgin, aren’t you?”

The female student frowned as if her pride was hurt by Cleon’s reaction to her, and she told Cleon.

“…In the first place, is it okay to walk around here wearing that kind of outfit? I know that there are places where remodeling of uniforms is permitted, and there are places where it is not… For example, the academy’s badge worn on the chest…”

“There’s no way you’re wearing such a cheesy thing on a holiday like today…! Are you a virgin?”

“Ha…”

She Thinks Caught By A Tired Woman

[What is this woman… Shall I kill you?]

Suddenly, along with Galatea’s voice coming from the waist of her, dark magic creeps out.

Come to think of it, she had forgotten that he had been out with her for a long time.

A panicked Cleon tries to calm her Galatea by suppressing that black magic.

[Calm down, Galatea. This girl just… It just needs a little attention.]

[But do I have to just watch Cleon harass me?]

[I’m not an adventurer, I’m a student… Let’s send it back with at least some hallucination magic.]

[Huh…]

If Cleon stays quiet while having a conversation in her mind like that, maybe she thinks she’s ignoring her, but the girl grabs Cleon’s hand and tries to pull him toward her—

[It’s over the line.]

The next moment I thought I heard Galatea’s cold voice from her.

“I’m sorry. Is there something wrong with my promised partner?”

Just before Galatea was pulled out and swung, a voice was heard.

“Eh… Aruru Tromeia…!?”

[Tit…]

The one who restrained the female student with her blonde hair blowing in the wind and a confident voice was Aruru, who showed up exactly at the appointed time.

She was sending her girl a smile on her lips and piercing blue eyes that pierced her opponent her.

“Hey, was Aruru supposed to be the one you promised… Kkuh…”

“That’s right. The Cleon instructor over there promised to hang out with me all day… I’m sorry. I want you to stay away from him.”

If she ever approached him more than this, or intervened between the two of them—they did n’t say the same thing directly, but the spirit she felt from her was enough to indicate her intentions to her.

The schoolgirl ‘pat’ as if she was frightened by the invisible pressure and she backed away from Cleon.

Soon after, she ran away without looking back.

“…That girl just now…”

“Is this a child you know?”
Aruru looks at the girl running away as if thinking about it for a moment, but she shakes her head at Cleon’s question.

“No. It must be my misunderstanding. By the way-“

Aruru cleared her throat at the delay in greeting Cleon, whom she hadn’t seen in a while, due to an unexpected interruption, and straightened her posture.

“Sorry, did you wait?”

Before. She asks as if recreating the greetings they exchanged one day.

Cleon smiled briefly at the greeting that was handed to her. As expected, the answer seemed to be fixed.

“No. I just came too.”

After exchanging such greetings, she wondered if she was laughing too much herself, or otherwise. Is she satisfied with what Cleon remembered?

Looking at Aruru, who burst into laughter, Cleon also smiled.

[I left it 20 minutes ago…]

Only Galatea seemed dissatisfied.

“Today she is also with us. Galatea.”

As Aruru looked at Cleon’s sword hanging from his waist her, she looked at Cleon’s magic sword with interest.

“When she’s in the swordsmanship department, she sees this and that famous sword. She’s a really beautiful sword. Black handle and silver blade. It’s like a crescent moon floating in the night sky.”

[…She has eyes to see. Tell her that the holy sword hanging from her ear is n’t bad either.]

Galatea looks slightly embarrassed, but she talks to Cleon in a tone that doesn’t show it.

When Cleon conveyed her intention to her, the blue glass earrings on Aruru’s ears seemed to shake by themselves.

“…Ah. Sorry. Talking about the sword as soon as we met… It’s my bad habit.”

Aruru apologizes to Cleon after suddenly recalling that the conversation just now is not a conversation that can be had in a ‘relationship between a man and a woman’.

Although Cleon himself seemed to have no idea about it.

Even so, Aruru clears her throat as she adjusts her own dressing and meets Cleon’s eyes her.

[Dress.]

“Ah. Ah. Come to think of it, today is a different style again. It suits you well.”

Following Galatea’s advice, Cleon notices what to do and carefully examines her attire her.

It was a sophisticated, feminine outfit different from the white one-piece or red suit she had seen before.

The top piece is a black off-the-shoulder blouse. Her shoulders are exposed, but that does n’t mean it does n’t look vulgar like the girl from before.

The upper body of her, which had more volume than others, was tightened a little tight, and the small ribbon on the chest was the point.

And a long skirt that starts right below the chest, starting from the belly and coming down to the ankles.

In the white tone, there are clear blue lines like earrings.

Her outfit was similar to that of an ordinary girl of that age, but she maintained the minimum dignity required of a nobleman.

As for her clothing her, she could not help but admire Cleon, who, even in empty words, could not be called detailed. It was to the point where the impression that she was purely cute or beautiful popped out.

“That’s right? Then, it’s fortunate. Since you said you were meeting Cleon today, the attendants took care of your clothes to the point where you thought it was a bit excessive… Haa… I’m really glad.”

Aruru let out a sigh of relief and put a smile on her lips.

Still, she reached out her hand to Cleon and caught him.

“Then… Shall we go soon? There are many places I want to visit.

“Of course it’s okay. I’ll hang out with you wherever you want to go today.”

She, too, was one of the biggest victims in this case.

Her memory her was robbed, her life her was almost turned upside down, and she lost a dear friend.

She had a bright face, but she must still have a scar in her heart.

If only I could heal those wounds, even a little.

With that thought in mind, Cleon took steps as the girl led him.

002

“Haa… Is it a failure? This kind of low-level beauty world doesn’t work after all…”

The red-haired woman was enjoying tea at a stall a short distance from the tower of Aion, gazing at it with primitive magic.

Turning her gaze away from her runaway schoolgirl, closing and opening her eyes will dispel the spell and return her eyes to their original form her.

“…Is that good? It looks super sweet.”

She then asks the dark-haired, black-eyed girl she always hangs out with, who is drinking iced cocoa eagerly in front of her eyes.

The girl made eye contact with the red-haired woman for a moment, then she didn’t say anything, but took a second sip of her cup.

“Because if you drink that much, you’ll have to go to the bathroom right away… Rani. Aren’t demons like that?”

Unlike her half-man her, half-horse half-man her, the girl in front of her was a complete success in reincarnating as a demon.

Haha the woman She sighs and falls on the table.

“The Royal Road and here too. To say that you’re having trouble because of the magic swordsman… What happened to your family?”

“…”

The dark-haired girl then sets her cup down on her table.

“…In the first place, possessing a seducer on an unrelated person failed… If you want to seduce him, you have to target a woman related to him…”

“…Was it that easy… Um…? No. Wait a minute. Yes… Was there such a way?”

The red-haired woman tried to sigh again, but she stood up from her seat as if the girl’s words had reminded her of something.

“Okay. Then let’s get ready right away! Thanks Lilim! You’re my best partner! Another cup of cocoa, please!”

“…”

The black-haired girl looks at her empty cup her for a moment.

As she gazed at the scene reflected through the glass, her eyes glowed softly with black magical energy.
