"So....what is a girl like you doing here? You must know that out of town it's dangerous. Could you be this .... stupid?"
"Don't call me stupid! I know out of town it's dangerous, so you don't have to tell me. Hmmmmmph...."
The girl looked the other way and looked annoyed. But the girl still ate fish. How could he have told Kuro that he got lost because he chose the wrong direction.
Kuro smiled slightly as he felt funny while reminding him of Laila.
"What's so funny? By the way, why is a Kuryuu Academy student like you here? And why did the dragon that attacked the city just obey you? Could it be you who sent the dragon to attack the city?"
"Ha... You have a good imagination. But if you've known that far, then you should also know that there's someone driving out of town, and that person is me. The dragon followed me because I conquered it. In short I am now the master of that dragon, and if you are an enemy, I simply snap my fingers and the dragon will instantly eat you. I don't hesitate even if you're a girl."
"................."
The girl fell silent, but moved away from Kuro while carrying a few fish skewers.
That's a little funny.
"Hmmm.I'm quite surprised you're not afraid even if I threaten you with a dragon."
"If you're going to kill me, you've done it before. Am I wrong?"
Kuro just smiled.
"But I was surprised when you said you managed to defeat a dragon, meaning you're a powerful witch. This country will definitely be safe if witches like you use force for good."
"Ha ha ha... "
Kuro laughed loudly. It made the girl confused.
"Killness? That's so funny. You know, I never intended to use my powers for some kind of good or justice. To me, it doesn't mean anything. So don't get me wrong."
"....But wasn't it because you conquered the dragon, you managed to save a lot of people. Even though you didn't do it for the good, they all survived. You should be proud of that."
Although what the girl said was true, it did not make Kuro's heart touched or happy at all. For him it is just the opinion of people who do not know about his true identity.
It really made Kuro want to laugh.
"Nothing to be proud of."
Kuro let out a small sigh as he said that.
"?"
"But if you say it like that, then I don't mind. I don't care at all either. Yahhh. It's just free to talk about this. What matters is what a girl like you does here?"
"..................................."
The girl fell silent because she did not want to tell him that she was actually running away.
"Hm?"
At that moment, Kuro's phone vibrated as a sign of incoming messages. Kuro just opened the message. While reading, he glanced at the girl beside him while smiling faintly.
The girl realized Kuro's thin smile was a bad sign.
"So it seems...."
Kuro put his phone back in his pocket.
"What am I going to do about a princess who ran away from an imperial family residence like you, Princess Riana?"
"Ugggs..."
The girl stood up and tried to escape. Riana ran away from Kuro who was still sitting.
But that was when Laiko directly confronted Riana from the front.
"Kh.. "
He can't escape.
"All right, now what do I do. If I rape you here, I don't think I'll be found out, will I?"
"Huh..W-What did you say? M-corrupt me? You know the consequences, right?"
Riana stepped back as she saw Kuro approaching slowly with a perverted and sly smile. But Riana also understood the current situation.
Kuro can do anything to him right now and he can't escape.
"Don't come near. You know I'm a princess. You know what the consequences would be if you did that, right?"
Riana continued to step back. But he was also getting closer to Laiko.
"Well, but if it gets caught, right? I could've raped you and killed you and given your body to Laiko's meal. Do you understand?"
"?!"
"fufu.but I won't do that. Take it easy, I don't want to do that kind of thing with people I don't like, besides... "
".........."
Before Kuro continued his words, Kuro set his foot on a tree and took something from behind a bush. It was a rope.
"I can't do that to my boyfriend's best friend.. But I hope you calm down when I take you back to town. Let's just say it's the result of running away from the person who protected you."
Riana instantly turned deathly pale as she saw Kuro approaching with the rope in both of her hands.
He knew he would be forced to return to the house that restrained him, but he realized that Kuro had a point.
"Mom-can't you be the one to protect me. You can't do all this to a princess. You know what the consequences would be if I told Laila how you treated her?"
Hearing Riana's last words, Kuro stopped stepping. After a while, he advanced again.
"Ohh... Do you know I'm the one who protects you, keep quiet? You're as smart and sensitive as the news says. But I'm doing this also because of orders, so that's not a problem. Regarding Laila, that's business later. He'd be pissed if he knew you ran off and almost died. You should thank me, Princess Riana."
"................."
Riana fell silent because she could not refute Kuro's words. Meanwhile, Kuro continues to approach and prepares to bind Riana.
Riana did not try to run away or fight back. But when Kuro almost touched her.
"You want me to go back to the place you call home? No kidding!! I came to this town to see the impact of the attack a week ago. I hope that with my arrival, the people can be calm, but they won't let me go and lock me up. Do you have any idea how I feel about seeing the homes of the destroyed and the people who came to greet me even though they were hurt? I thought you were just like them."
Riana did not show any doubt in her eyes. He decided to do what he thought was right.
"....haa..."
Kuro sighed deeply. She understood Riana's intentions.
Riana was right as rumored.
The Empire had three daughters. Each of them has their own advantages and also has a unique character.
When compared to her two sisters, Riana was indeed not a powerful magician, but among the three of them, she was the one who was known as the kindest and most concerned with the people.
Not infrequently he visited various cities in the empire to see firsthand the state of the people. Thanks to his visit, a lot of changes happened. Especially in areas that are not getting much attention.
It was not strange that she obtained the title of Holy Virgin from the empire.
The schedule of the visit to the city of Areshia earlier was just an ordinary visit, but thanks to the attack on Sirei Mall, Riana sped up her visit and eventually got Kuro into trouble.
Her act of playing Riana was only a reply since she was a little irritated. Of course she would get into another matter if Riana reported it. But Kuro doesn't care.
"alright. You can finally be honest. I thought you'd keep lying until I drove you back to town."
"Eh?"
Kuro then threw the rope in his hand into the bush.
"You know, I hate liars. If you say you don't want to come back, just say it. You really look alike."
Dear Kuro did not have time to return his annoyance.
"Now, what should we do about the princess who ran away from her house through a secret road to the city, but instead got lost into the middle of the forest. Do you have any ideas?"
"uh? Why do you know that?"
"Just my guess, but it seems that my guess is correct. Never mind, why don't we just continue eating."
Kuro smiled broadly as he offered that to Riana.
Riana's only comment was:
"You are what Laila told you. Ha .... I wonder why Laila could like someone like you."
"Ummm.. What do you mean?"
"Forget it."
Riana finally could only sigh inwardly when she learned of Kuro's strange nature. And of course stupid. But he also understands that Laila has a unique taste in choosing men.
They returned to the fire and ate the rest of the fish.
Laiko went back to eating the fish that was still a little left.
Riana started the conversation again.
"You're really weird. Why even though you know I'm a princess but disrespect me and threaten to rape me? Honestly, just this time there's someone as close as you...Omuus.. Omuus.. Omu..."
"A runaway princess is not called a princess, but a runaway. I don't have to respect an escape."
"Ugh!"
Riana couldn't argue with Kuro anymore. Sometimes he gets annoyed, but he can't make Kuro angry, he realizes Kuro isn't the one who will obey his orders.
This type of person is quite troublesome because it can not be arranged, but Riana is not stupid enough that Kuro's arrogant attitude has a strong reason.
For example, having extraordinary strength, or having extraordinary influence. Even stronger than a princess.
"But princess Riana who was known to be graceful, polite, kind, friendly and calm now turned into a voracious girl. This country will definitely go broke having a daughter like you."
"I don't want to hear that from you. I only rarely eat warm food, so let's just say this is a rare opportunity for me."
As one of the country's greatest princesses, Riana always eats cold food. This is natural because before serving, food will be tasted to find out whether there is poison or not.
Although it tastes good, but Riana always feels cold food, that's what makes the fish meat Rellfish taste delicious.
"so apparently. Means now I'm looking at your side that no one else knows. How lucky I am."
"Omu... Omuus.. Omuus.. Yep. You're lucky, Kuro. But why are you here and not in school. Is it because you feel strong and don't have to study anymore? You know, strong people never stop learning. That's what we call true power."
Kuro smiled at Riana's words.
"Good word, but it's not your original word. You just imitated it from a book. Am I wrong?"
Riana's eyes opened wide upon hearing Kuro's words. This is because Kuro is right. He borrowed words from a book, but the book Riana read was not a common book. Even the secret book.
(How does he know that?)
That was when, Riana realized that Kuro was not only strong, but more than that. And he also realized that Kuro had knowledge that he could not imagine.
The books Riana read included books that were only read by certain circles. There was no way such a book could be read by ordinary magic school students.
"But I'm not a witch, so you don't have to worry about me studying or not. I read books in the library often. If you're curious, you can see my data at school. You have the authority to do it."
".....Ahh.. Why don't I think about that?"
"You can do it when. This is not the time to do it."
Riana was silent while nodding slowly.
After that, silence occurred between them for quite a long time.
"..........."
"............"
No one is trying to start a conversation. Riana only ate the fish that was still left a little, while Kuro only fell silent and closed his eyes.
While Laiko, now was wrapping her body and not moving.
"Hey...."
"imm?"
Kuro opened his eyes and turned towards Riana.
"Why don't you take me back? You were ordered to?"
"Do you want to go back?"
"No. I was just wondering why even though I disappeared, no one seemed to be looking for me out of town. Am I really important to them?"
Riana had always been tightly escorted, which was why she felt a little strange when not a single Holy Knight was seen outside the city to look for her.
"Ah... They know you're with me, so it's natural they're not looking for you. But don't you want to go back? Frankly, I'd rather sleep here than watch you."
"You are more concerned with napping than the safety of the princess of this country? Where is your sense of devotion, hehhh.. Don't sleep!"
Kuro slowly closed his eyes again. He was hypnotized and stretched his body.
But he reopened his eyes when he realized something was coming. It was a lightning bolt that was one of the magic of the Electra paladins.
Electra had come up with a cheerful face like a young girl. As always.
"Kuroooo, good morning!"
Electra greeted while making a cute expression that did not match her age. But it fits his face.
"..."
Kuro ignored him, then closed his eyes again. He tried to go back to sleep because he felt the arrival of Electra was not important.
"Geez, if you don't wake up, I'll kiss you!"
"Laiko! Burn her!!"
Closing his eyes, Kuro orders Laiko to attack Electra.
But with many sharp gazes, Laiko instantly did not move because her instinct told her that she would die if she obeyed Kuro.
"You're too smart for a dragon, you know it's Laiko."
With a clear face, Kuro finally opened his eyes, but that's when he saw Electra was ready to turn her lips right to his.
Kuro quickly held Electra's face with his hand and gripped her.
"Awawa.awa... Stopit! I'll be able to wrinkle."
"You're already wrinkled, so don't say anything weird. Did you know Princess Riana was looking at you?"
"Eh?"
Electra immediately turned her head towards Riana who was smiling bitterly.
"..............."
Silence happened, but at that moment, Riana took her phone and took down something.
"Aunt Electra if she is not doing her job, she always seduces students at her school. Done."
Hearing that, Electra immediately turned white in shock.
"Gah .. You're still as usual, Aunt Electra."
Riana actually already knew the nature of Electra, which is why she was actually not too surprised, but she felt that when with Kuro, Electra's behavior was a little excessive.
Electra came back to her normal state and bowed slightly as a sign of respect.
"Daughter Riana, I haven't seen each other in a long time. I'm sorry I haven't seen you yet."
Electra's character instantly changed 180 degrees. That's one of Electra's skills.
"Hey... If you didn't come here to look for Riana, what would you like to come here for?"
Kuro knew because Electra was shocked when she saw Riana.
Electra immediately gave a small smile, then took something from the crack of her chest. It was some kind of crystal.
Electra then gave it to Kuro.
"It right?"
Kuro said as he observed the transparent crystal that exuded a white aura.
"I came to tell you that Laiko can enter the city, but you know that Laiko will panic, so use that to enter the city."
"Hmmm... But how long does this thing last?"
"About two hours, that's more than enough time to enter the city right? One more thing, I only have one, so make the most of it. That's all I want to tell you, see you later."
After saying that, Electra turned back into lightning and disappeared.
"He never listens to anyone else."
Kuro sighed then stood up and took his sword, Lic. After which, he walked towards Laiko and jumped onto her back.
"Princess Riana, are you staying there, or coming back to town?"
"uh? Are you gonna leave me here?"
"........................No. gabe. Why do you think that?"
"...................."
Seeing that Kuro did not immediately answer her question, Riana knew one thing.
(He intended to leave me in this forest.)
Riana let out a small sigh in annoyance then stood up. He realized he couldn't stay out of a dangerous city.
But Riana also did not want to go back to the city immediately. So what should he do?
With a perplexed feeling, Riana walked towards Laiko even though she felt a little scared. But he had an idea when he saw Laiko and the crystal in Kuro's hands.
"Hey, I have a request, do you want to listen to me?"
For the first time in his life, he begged someone. He had no other choice because considering that Kuro was the type of person who was a dissident.
But he also realized that this was a gamble.
"Hmmm.... You don't want to ask me to marry you?"
"Uggl... Of course not, stupid. I wonder why you think that?"
"Then I'll listen to you."
According to Kuro's experience, he would always be asked to marry a girl he had just met or had just met. He didn't know why, but it was like his daily meal.
This also causes him sometimes deliberately to be mean or unfriendly to girls, but he also realizes that his actions are useless.
And now, she meets a daughter and Laila's best friend. It would be a complicated and troublesome matter if Riana fell in love with him.
Kuro sometimes curses himself for being too popular. More precisely, having a lot of trouble with the girls.
"Can you not take me back to the residence?"
"You mean you wanna take you flying around town before you get back? You really bother me, you know that?"
"I know too much about asking for Ba-Huh. Quickly carry out my orders. I am still a princess!"
"...............Laiko!"
Laiko spread her wings and prepared to fly. Realizing that Kuro was about to leave her, Riana immediately panicked.
"All right, all right. I'm sorry. But don't leave me here!"
"Then?"
Riana's face reddened in embarrassment and was at once angry.
(It's the first time I've been played like this.)
But Riana had no choice.
"I beg you!"
By lowering her pride, Riana finally lowered her head and pleaded. He had to do this.
"That's what a princess is called. Despite having power, never forget to ask politely. You know, I actually care about you just because you're Laila's best friend, and not because of a princess."
"You really suck."
Even so, Riana was happy to get a lesson in order to become a better and respected princess.
"Well, before you board, I have a condition for you."
"?"
"Never use your magic power. You know the consequences, right?"
Riana is a magician of the sacred element who is able to neutralize all kinds of magic, if she uses her power, Kuro is afraid that Riana will neutralize the magic object that is in her hands and neutralize the effects of magic.
If the dragons attacking the city arrived to appear above the city, an even greater panic would ensue.
"All right, I get it. But is it okay to ride this dragon?"
Laiko stared straight at Riana with a sharp look. That made Riana a little scared. This was because this was also the first time Riana had climbed a dragon.
"That's it. Laiko can get angry if you say she's an evil dragon. He's just greedy like you, I think you're a good fit."
"Ughh. Stop mocking a princess. If you do that, I'll punish you."
"Are you sure you can punish me?"
"Eh?"
That was when, for the first time, Riana saw an evil smile from Kuro. Not only that, Kuro exuded an aura that made Riana depressed.
But the pressure suddenly disappeared.
"Here you go, let's go quickly. We don't have much time!'
"Alright!"
But how did he get on?
Although low, Laiko's height is still about 1 meter more.
While puzzled, Kuro reached out his right hand after moving the crystal to his left hand and placed his sword.
Riana directly held onto Kuro's hand to help him up. Riana also used Laiko's body parts as a foothold.
That was when Riana could feel Kuro's hand that was so cold yet smooth as a female. Bizarrely. Men are supposed to have rougher hands, let alone Kuro being a sword user.
But it wasn't just the coldness that Riana felt. After he held Kuro's hand, he felt like he was electrocuted.
"Don..."
Riana reflexively let go of Kuro's hand.
Riana immediately fell down, and that was when the veil of Riana's robe opened and showed the hidden figure of an angel.
A beautiful and sweet face like a doll. Sky blue-eyed and long white-haired which slightly decomposed.
"Stupid, why did you let go of my hand!"
Kuro swiftly caught Riana's hand. He succeeded, but because his body could not bear the burden of Riana, he finally fell.
They fell to the ground quite hard, Laiko even closed her eyes for a moment because she did not dare to look.
"Are you okay?"
"Ah.. I'm not ap- !?!"
Not only Riana, Kuro was also shocked when he realized their current position.
Kuro is above Riana. Not only that, Kuro's feet are in the vocation ************Riana. But what was more surprising was their faces that were only a few centimeters apart.
Riana's face immediately turned red, but Kuro only smiled bitterly and then sighed.
"Why am I always stuck in this kind of situation?"
"Huh?"
Riana did not understand Kuro's words, but Kuro said as if this happened to her often.
Punyya...
"God..."
Riana immediately let out a small, seductive sigh.
Not only above Riana, it turns out that Kuro's right hand holds Riana's chest which is bigger than Laila's.
"Hm... E cup is..."
"..........................YOOOOOOOHHH!!"
Riana immediately shouted and tried to thrash. He even prepared to slap Kuro for perverting him.
But-but
"?!"
Riana felt something move and creep in her right hand. He immediately glanced and saw a huge centipede creeping in his hand.
Riana's face instantly turned deathly pale. He wanted to stand up, but it was a fatal mistake.
He forgot that Kuro's face was near his face.
"?!" "....."
Riana's eyes opened wide when she realized the lips of the two of them were fused together.
Riana could feel Kuro's soft and slightly rough lips.
They kissed for a few seconds in surprise.
"YYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
Riana shouted loudly once again breaking the silence of the forest.
Kuro instantly moved away from Riana who looked furious with a reddened face.
Riana held onto her lips as she recalled the sensation of Kuro's lips. It was his first kiss.
"Geez, what should I explain to Laila. He'd be mad to know I took your first kiss, but it's not my fault. Hmmm .. I think I'll be forgiven."
Kuro analyzes what is happening right now and the consequences if Laila knows .
(I'm guessing, I do have bad luck with girls.)
If anyone knew his thoughts, he would have already been cursed by all the men in the world.
"Yeah...."
Kuropun sighed deeply.
But the feathers stood up when it felt such a great pressure. More precisely the sudden powerful magic pressure.
Kuro finally saw Riana who was in an abnormal state. It was abnormal as a white aura emanated from his body.
".............."
Kuro felt a bad feeling. And Kuro's bad premonition came true when he saw dozens of white spears appearing hovering around Riana.
The white spear moved and headed towards Kuro.
"Ahhhhh.... You didn't threaten me to marry you for stealing your first kiss, did you?"
"Guhhhh!"
Riana grew angry and flushed. She went from beautiful and graceful to a demon.
"YOU THINK WHO YOU ARE, YOU PERVERT!!'
Riana shouted with anger. At the same time, dozens of spears flew towards Kuro at high speed.
Kuro realized he would die if he was hit by one of those spears.
With abnormal speed and minimal movement possible. He had managed to dodge dozens of spears, but there was one spear that he could not avoid and precisely aimed at his chest.
"Tch!"
Kuro held no weapons, so he had no choice but to use whatever was in his hands to fend off the spear.
And that thing is a white crystal that has the magic ability to make invisible though in a limited time, namely Cristal Invia.
Riana's spear was restrained by the crystal. The crystal had not been destroyed or suffered a crack but the white aura had already vanished.
"Let's...."
Riana was shocked when she saw the crystal being used as a shield. It was because he knew what the consequences would be if the magic effect of the thing disappeared.
"DUMB DAUGHTER BASICS USELESS. NOW YOU SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!"
Kuropun shouted in annoyance.
"IT'S ALSO YOUR FAULT YOU PERVERTED. BAWDY. BAWDY BAWDY"
"DO NOT BLAME YOUR ACTIONS ON OTHERS. YOU IRRESPONSIBLE PRINCESS!"
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM YOU! PERVERT!!"
"I'M A PERVERT, DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT!!"
"YOU'VE FINALLY ADMITTED TO BEING PERVERTED, YOU PERVERT!"
"Haaa. Now what should we do?"
"Huh?"
Kuro glanced at Laiko who had been silent since.
But Riana also knew that they were currently facing a big problem.
Kuro can't bring Laiko in. Silently. Riana did not want to go home immediately, before seeing the state of the city.
They are the same in difficult conditions.
"There's no other choice but to get a new one?"
Hearing that, Riana was slightly surprised.
"Getting a new one. Isn't Cristal Invia a rare magic tool, how did you get it."
Kuro smiled faintly. He showed a sly and evil expression.
"Well, I know a place where I can get it, but the question is, can you keep it a secret?"
"Eh?"
And that's why Kuro wasn't in class until noon. He's looking for Crystal Invia with Riana
