Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

Punishments

Normal day back to Areshia. Similarly, the daily life at Kuryuu Academy, especially in grades 1-2.

Or maybe not.

"Fuu.aa.. hhh. We discussed something quite important, well it can also not he he he."

Otome teaches like a broken doll.

His face was deathly pale and his eyes were as black as if he had not slept for days. He now looks like a teaching zombie.

This scene was quite frightening for some of his students.

"... 13 more days will occur rare natural phenomena that occur in the period of 200 years once fufu.... As you can read in your book, that phenomenon is the Blood Ringmoon or it could be called the blood moon ring. Open the next page for more clarity. For now. I want to ..."

Otome walked to her desk and ended up sleeping like a baby.

No one cared about Otome nor the subjects she gave about natural phenomena. The reason all of this is -

"Kuro do you know why Blood Ringmoon is so special...?"

"Blood Ringmoon is not only a beautiful natural phenomenon, but also occurs a few minutes every 200 years. No one wants to miss that. I guess this lesson is a little useless because everyone knows it."

Laila showed a displeased face after hearing Kuro's answer which focused more on logic.

Blood Ringmoon is a phenomenon that occurs when two moons are fused together in a line. Because each moon has a different size, the light produced will form a perfect ring made of light.

But one thing that was still a mystery at the moment was that the light emitted turned blood red.

"Buuu. Wouldn't it be romantic if we dated on that beautiful night.nya his.nya just imagine it has made me impatient.."

Laila's tail moves sign she's enthusiastic.

"Hmm.. okay. I think I found a suitable place if I want to be alone. We should relax when."

"I'm getting impatient.nyaaa.n."

Lailapun hugged Kuro happily like a child waiting for a gift.

Everyone knows they are lovers who make out every day in public and don't know where and when to do it, but this is not what makes them the center of attention in class today.

Laila happy. It was visible from the ears and tail that moved with sweet motion like a cute cat.

Yep. This is the reason why they are the center of attention today.

For some reason, Laila now has cat ears and tails. No one knew it was a magic tool or something like that, but the two objects moved like Laila's body parts.

And what makes it the center of attention is Laila's clothes which are not school uniforms, but maid uniforms (servants).

Maid with cat ears and tail. The one wearing is the prettiest girl in school. How could they not be the center of attention?

"His.nnnn..."

In addition, Laila's nature also changed to look like a cat.

Acting?

*******

Back to a few hours after Laila woke up from her sleep.

He sleeps soundly alone because Kuro is going somewhere that Laila doesn't even know about. This is normal because Kuro is still keeping dozens of tons of secrets that he has not revealed to him.

But Laila loves Kuro. She had already accepted all of that while deciding to always be by her side as a lover.

He would leave, but he would always return to his side.

That was what he always believed in and Kuro never let him down though.

The next morning, Laila had already found Kuro in front of her. Kuro was fast asleep. Laila cursed him with a small smile plus a friendly kiss on Kuro's forehead.

Then Laila moved Kuro's arms which were hugging her body and got up towards the bathroom.

He has to go to school. Of course he would wake Kuro up if he woke up too late.

"...."

While taking a bath, she recalled the time when Lic and herself were bathing together. A time of fun and joy.

Now he can't do it anymore, but he believes it won't be long. That time will return.

".....wait us.. Lic."

In his deepest heart, he still could not forgive them. He is angry, but he must be able to control his anger and be patient.

When he finished, he walked to the dressing room without a thread or towel covering his body.

He quickly dried his body by heating the attached water. And why he was without a doubt naked, of course because he was in the house with someone who almost every day saw his body. His lover.

"Huh?"

But when he opened the closet where he kept the clothes, he found nothing but an outfit he rarely saw.

Cute and sweet design. He felt like he had seen the clothes somewhere.

Out of curiosity, he tried it.

It takes time to wear it without the help of anyone else, but upon seeing her reflection in the mirror

"Hm.... I am suitable to wear any clothes. ...but why did Kuro buy clothes like this without my knowledge?"

He knew Kuro wouldn't do anything weird. No. gabe. Kuro always does something weird, but why a maid costume? Where are his other clothes?

"His?"

Laila was shocked by what came out of her mouth.

(What did I just say?)

He looked back in the mirror. More surprising things have happened.

He has a tail and ears that resemble cat ears.

What really happened to him?

As he asked that, he felt something sinister behind him.

Slowly she looked back and what she found was -

Kuro who smiled was like a demon who had obtained a victim. Of course the victim in this case is Laila. Her boyfriend wears cat maid clothes.

After that, all Laila remembered was an ecstasy called pleasure.

Or maybe it is more appropriate if it is called an attack from his lover who has become a wild beast.

"No, I'm not cosplaying or anything."

"Then could it be some kind of new game between you guys?" ask Serriv.

"No-no. I think this is Kuro's new hobby. Hmm. but I'm more curious where did Kuro get such clothes?"

"I'm also curious about that, Brother Alva."

Laila could only laugh bitterly at the question from the girl who was curious about her.

(How is this, how could I say that Kuro bought this outfit to punish me for ignoring it these few days?)

Laila had no choice. Custom-made clothes not only make him have a cat's tail and ears, but the clothes he wears can not be separated and damaged easily.

Like Alva and Alvi, Laila is also curious about where Kuro got it from.

While Laila was chatting with the others, Kuro became the center of attention of the men in her class.

Reason is-

"We don't care about your relationship with the Demon King or anything. But let me call you Master."

"Yes, right. How could you have an idea to get Laila to wear clothes like that?"

"We still haven't accepted your relationship, but-ah forget it. Most importantly I could see Laila wearing extraordinary clothes. He's not just sweet, he's so sweet. I even want to take her home.kyaaaa.."

They are all members of the GSPFL, Laila fan in short.

Although everyone knows Laila has been in a relationship with Kuro, or even is getting married, but that does not mean the GSPFL will disappear.

They remain and are loyal. That's proof they're Laila's fans.

"Can you not look at him with a strange look, if you keep doing it, I will pry your eyes out."

Kuro said in a cold and serious tone, but-

"I'm sorry, it's your own fault why you put Laila on like that. As chairman of the GSPFL, I'm saying we don't mind you prying our eyes as long as we can see Laila."

Knox said in a relaxed tone like a pervert.

All the other members no one tried to argue as proof they had one soul in common with their leader.

"After all, can't you enjoy this scene every day in your house? Why do you have to pry our eyes out just because we're looking for a second?"

"really. Is correct. Why don't you want to share a little with us, you Kepa*at!!!"

"You can squeeze Laila's chest every day. That's something we can't do. Why can't you just share with us for a day?"

"Correct...."

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

Kuropun finally could only sigh deeply because he could not face them all.

(I forgot they were perverts who would lose control of everything related to Laila. I'm also one of them anyway.).

For the record, the lessons are still continuing, but since Otome has fallen asleep, no one cares about the lessons anymore.

"Yesoo!!!"

"Ah. I'm sorry, I thought you didn't feel anything when I touched your tail. I'm curious anyway."

"Don't do it again, Serriv. I don't know either, but I can feel what's going on with that tail. And it feels so weird... Hm?"

".. good good."

Laila's tail moved to the left and to the right slowly. No one knows how the tail is made, but the tail and ears are real.

"But I'm really curious where did he get this costume? Hm.. "

"What's wrong?"

"No. I just thought if Kuro could get a costume like this easily, doesn't that mean Kuro could get another outfit more seductive than this? For example apron b*gil with dog ears?"

"......eh?"

Hearing that, the classroom 1-2 was a bloodbath.

Not because of Kuro, but Knox and the rest of the GSPFL had an amazing nosebleed.

Maybe Laila is actually more dangerous than Kuro?

*******

****

Hours after school, Laila and Kuro are called to the principal's room.

As usual they were able to find Electra who looked like a child playing a game, but today it is not.

Seriousness was visible in his eyes.

"...you sure know very well what you're doing, right? You may be involved in a problem you didn't imagine, but have you been"

"Why are you so serious, Grandma?." Cut Kuro. "We're just asking for a leave of absence until Triball is held. But why are you making it difficult for us? Don't joke with us, it's not your character at all."

The document on the Electra desk is a document containing a license for several weeks of leave. It could be said for almost a month.

Leave is allowed by meeting some conditions, but Electra knows both leave is not to play.

They will challenge the danger as before.

They are strong indeed, but in Electra's eyes they are still too early to get involved with the bigger stage.

"You're the one who made me do it. Do you think I didn't know you guys wanted to get Lic back? As long as you know I've deployed everything, but I still haven't found a single clue. Kuro, I know you're not a rash person, so I know you must be aware of the information we have right now Ki-"

"Do you want us to wait any longer? I think it's been a while waiting." cut Kuro again.

"Yes. We're dealing with an enemy that uses Izriva. If we are careless to deal with this problem, the problem we are facing may be bigger than it was in Dragonia. And it's possible that not only small countries are at stake, but the whole world is at stake."

Besides the unknown enemy, they also knew very well what they were looking for and hid it. An enemy of such a level is not an easy enemy.

"That's it, we still have to do it."

Unexpectedly, Laila started talking.

His gaze was filled with sadness, but at the same time filled with a burning determination.

"In your eyes it may be Lic is just a spirit or a dangerous weapon. If misused he will bring destruction, but if used correctly, then he will bring prosperity as in the days of Mary. But ..in my eyes, our eyes, Lic is our family. Whether he's spirit or not, he's our family. Whatever the risk, we'll take him home."

Hearing that, Electra fell silent with a wry smile.

"...whatever? Even if it means I'm taking you out?"

"Yes." Yeah." Laila replied without hesitation. "We've rounded up our resolve to find Lic. But that doesn't mean we ignore our responsibilities, just because we're responsible, so we have to find Lic as soon as we can with our own hands even if it means we're quitting school."

Silence then occurs.

The atmosphere was so heavy, no one was joking and trying to melt the atmosphere. No one is trying to do that because there is no need.

"Ha. Let's end this pointless talk."

Kuro showed a bored face.

"Look, we don't have time to play with you. You know what our decisions are and what choices we're going to make, so stop playing the game of being a responsible principal."

"He he he he. when I'm serious Kuro. I'm serious."

"We're serious too...."

A spark appears between the two.

And Laila doesn't know if this is a serious fight or not.

"I'm more serious Kuro. We still don't know what they want using Izriva. Either their aim is to destroy or for the peace of the world, but as long as there are differences and goals to be achieved, then war will always occur. And you know in war they'll use all they can and have."

"Huh.. Why are you saying such sentimental things? It has nothing to do with us. All we want to do is get our family back. I don't care about world peace or anything like that. But one thing you should know, I will make anyone regret for making someone precious to me cry. Death is not enough for them."

Kuro showed a look full of anger. She's creepy.

It was then that Laila realized that even though Kuro looked calm, she probably harbored even more anger than him.

"So ..what's your decision?"

Permit them, or forbid them?

"Do as you like. But remember, I want all of this stuff done before the Triball is held. Either way, you can't die or die before you win the Battle War."

"Eh?"

"alright. That's more than enough."

Laila's face showed that she was currently confused. Confused by the meaning of the word Electra.

(Why does Electra want us to fight in Battle War?)

Laila glanced at Kuro.

He should have guessed, maybe Kuro's arrival at this school wasn't for her sake.

Like their previous encounter, their meeting at this school was a mere coincidence.

(That's why you believe in destiny, isn't Shiro?)

In her heart Laila smiled, but she could not hide it from her lover.

"..hm? What was? Why are you smiling like that?"

"No. I'm just glad you're mad."

"uh? What do you mean?"

"It's not what. But what are we gonna do now? I agreed to ask permission, but I still don't know what and how we plan to find Lic?"

"Don't worry, about that leave everything to me. We're still not late, because that's why for today I think we should just date all day."

"What?"

Seriously? Laila doesn't know what Kuro's doing, but one thing she knows

Perhaps this was their chance to be alone for the last time before they could find Lic.

"Aren't you going?"

Laila smiled slightly.

"No. I can't refuse it. But can I ask you something?"

"?"

"Can I not use it"

"Do you have a problem with that outfit?"

"No. I really like this outfit."

Sometimes Kuro is too creepy to handle Laila alone.

Dating in a cat maid costume. It might be a shameful experience that he will never forget in his life.

"Goodoo. I've prepared some other clothes if you like."

"Ughhh!!"

Or it's just a beginning.

They finally dated. They haven't done it in a long time. Although almost every day they are together, but dating still provides a pleasure in itself.

They shop together and do a lot of things together. They did a game they used to play when they first dated in the capital.

The result still remains Kuro won a landslide. Laila knew that from the beginning, so she was not too surprised, but when compared to before, the accuracy she had also increased. All of that is proven by many games with almost perfect value.

But of all that, their date today attracted a lot of attention. Of course, all thanks to Laila's clothes.

After being content to have fun, the sun of the gun arrived.

They did not go home and rest, but they went to the forest near the city of Areshia.

As it gets older, the forest gets darker. Slowly the moonlight began to shine so they could still see the road.

"Kuro why are we here? Ugh.. You're not planning on doing it in this forest, are you?"

Laila glanced around with a wary look.

They can make love in their little house because Kuro has a shield with a magic object, so they do not have to worry about being peeped or bullied.

But now they're in the middle of the woods. Someone can see what they're doing.

"Honestly I'm still tired, but for Kuro's sake I'm not happy"

"Don't joke. We don't have time to do that."

"Huh?"

Laila was surprised by what she heard from Kuro's mouth.

Kuro glanced at various corners and suddenly carried Laila like a princess.

Kuropun jumped up and floated in the air. The view of the city at night can be seen. That's a beautiful sight.

"Sorry, I need some time to prepare, but it's all done. It's time we reclaim our family."

Kuro showed a serious look, but Laila still did not understand what Kuro meant.

That's when he saw something in the air. It was like a transparent object that was in the air.

Kuro unhesitatingly kicked the air and passed through the thing.

"Huh?"

Laila had no choice but to be surprised by what she saw.

The once shady forest filled with trees is now disappearing and changing with arid land within a radius of 50 meters.

But that's not what surprised Laila. A magic circle was drawn on the ground with a high degree of complexity that Laila had never seen before.

"Kuro .....What are you really doing?"

Kuro just smiled a little.

"I'm just trying to find Lic for you."

They landed right in the center of the magic circle.

As Laila put her foot on the ground, the magic circle was glowing as if reacting to Laila's presence.

"What's going on here?"

Kuro smiled mysteriously.

It was at that moment that light shone from Laila's hand, precisely Laila's bell.

"Kuro. could it..."

Kuro nodded slowly.

"You must know that the bell on my sword is no ordinary bell. Besides being indestructible, the bells make us feel each other's presence even though we are far apart. Well, even though it's not necessary."

They will always be connected even though they are separate in other parts of the world. That's the bond that binds them both.

"Aha ha.I agree."

"Originally you know, the magic that's in those bells is an ancient magic that's probably gone by now."

"Ancient magic? May I know where you know that kind of magic? And can't you use magic?"

Laila's bad habits are coming up again.

"I cannot use magic directly, but magic is not something that must be used in a direct way, such as ancient magic. Well even though I need a few tricks to do it, but I never said I can't do it. No. gabe. I think everyone can do it if they know how."

"......"

Laila looked at Kuro with a cold gaze filled with disbelief.

But Kuro's words were not impossible.

The difference of ancient sihur with ordinary magic was a time-consuming process rather than ordinary magic. Magic also requires magic objects as intermediaries and complements.

Teleportation magic objects are one of the easiest examples.

"Aha ha. regarding ancient magic, I found out about it from the grimoire I had read. Well, most importantly we can find Lic because he's also fused with my bell. That's their biggest mistake."

Anyone knows Kuro's lying.

"Then this magic?"

"It's just a ritual that amplifies the magic in those bells, but to be able to know the location accurately, your bond with it is necessary."

"?"

"Easy the stronger your bond with Lic, then you'll be able to find him wherever he is. No matter he is protected by the strongest barrier in the world nothing can stand in your way. ....So you know what you have to do, right?"

Laila nodded slowly.

He showed a strong determination and hidden anger. But he knows, if he wants to find Lic, he can't use his anger, but the love that made him bond with Lic.

Slowly, Laila could feel a strange mana flow flowing all over her body coming from the bells on her bracelet.

Laila's body slowly floated up. Laila slowly fused with their magic ritual.

"...."

Kuro then began his role.

He jumped into one of the corners that had a more complicated magic symbol.

Kuro cut off his fingertips with a ki knife and let his blood drip.

The magic circle again glowed brightly, brighter. Instantly the flow of mana increasingly strong emanated even to the felt of the city of Areshia.

At the same time, in her shadow, Laila was like seeing a small flash that traveled all over at the speed of light. The flash was like lightning searching for its target.

"...Lic.. I'll find you..."

Laila recalled the moment of their meeting. The day we spent together. The sadness and pleasure of being together become a source of strength to find Lic.

And finally he slowly found it, but he still had not found the exact location because it was blocked by something.

"Again..."

He re-imagines all of his ties to Lic. His smile, his laughter jokes, his cries, while asking strange things related to Kuro and himself.

Slowly he found her again. But he always stayed away as if bouncing and being rejected.

Unsurrender. Laila tried again and again. But he was always rejected by something.

"hh..."

Laila realized she was running out of time and mana. Since he's always been rejected, he does something before he can't find Lic forever.

".....that place.."

Along with that, the magic ritual ended. It was not that they had found what they were looking for, but that the magic ritual had stopped abruptly.

And the person who stopped it was...

"Ha. I'm really careless for letting my students do dangerous rituals. Thank goodness I came before it was too late."

The one who did it was of course Otome.

"......"

"......"

Both thought the same thing.

(Basic fucking spinster.)

(Basic fucking spinster.)

Both of them gave off a dangerous aura and approached Otome who was gasping for breath.

"uh? Why are you looking at me like that?"

""What's not..""

Otome's getting a bad feeling. Too bad that's the last thing he remembers.

The next morning, the two prepared to leave. This time they did not ride Laiko, but used teleportation magic that was underground in the school.

The place is usually used for important people only, but they get special treatment because the place they are going to is a little special.

"If you're right, the problems we're facing may be bigger than I thought."

Electra drove them. Electra's existence was also because only she could activate teleportation magic.

"I'll catch up with you soon. I need to report what you found to the emperor. Besides maybe our strength will be needed. This fight will not only involve you. Remember that."

"We know it, Electra."

The light shines bright. And in an instant they disappeared.

They appeared in a spacious room with minimal light. It looks like an underground place.

They heard footsteps approaching.

"Laila, Kuro."

The one who greeted them was Riana. Imperial princess Houou. Unlike usual, Riana wore a robe that covered her luxurious clothes.

Yep. Their current place was the imperial capital of Houou, the city of Phoenix.

♦️♦️♦️

At the same time, Otome awoke from her sleep.

His eyes were black and his eyes were still sleepy. Unfortunately even though he tried to sleep, he always had the same nightmare.

".....ughh...."

That was a terrible dream. No, it's a bad memory.

"...how could he endure all that torment?"

Otome had only seen a few small parts, but it had already made her want to die.

"Why don't you ask him directly, Otome?"

"Uhmm, why are you here?"

"I see only the circumstances of those who have seen forbidden things. Ha ha ha. I guess a person who is an expert in ancient magic and mind magic like you still can't bear to see it."

"...huh?"

Electra showed her a sly smile.

"Electra, don't tell me you're tah-"

Otome did not have time to react when in an instant the fingertips of Electra touched her forehead.

"Fu fuufu. I did expect this to happen, but I don't want you to die. You're still useful to me."

The other side of Electra is visible. Or indeed it is more appropriate if the actual side.

She is known as the fastest witch, but at the same time she is known as the most cunning witch.

No one knows what's in his head.

"E-Electra, can you not scare me? I almost believed your word aha ha..."

"No. Now choose, die by suicide or live to suffer like an undead or lucky you'll just go crazy."

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

It's not a fun choice.
