Chapter 117
「Ah, u……tsu . 」
Losing conscious is a scary thing .
It was after I felt the unpleasantness of the rough sensation from tasting the carpet, that I realized it seemed I was somehow crawling on the floor .
I suppose I cut my mouth when I fell, there’s the taste of blood that I’ve become accustomed to .
Gazing from my position with my feet on the mansion’s walls that boast a white that seems to shine, I make a bitter smile .
It seems I collapsed in the hallway .
I suppose I’m finally behaving so feebly that it’s difficult to gloss over then .
Pitiful, if not for people’s eyes……ojousama’s eyes I would’ve gone to a place where I didn’t have to display this much empty bravado .
「You look to be in pain, dragon girl . 」
Striking my powerless body with a whip so as to raise my face, teacher-sama is looking down on me with cold eyes .
She happened to pass by at some point did she, though it should’ve been an unoccupied hallway before I collapsed .
It’s a rare event to meet with this teacher who appears and vanishes incomprehensibly, during the early morning when small birds are chirping noisily .
「This is……an unsightly time . 」
I couldn’t stay down indefinitely so, I roused my energy .
Though not by relying on my hands and feet, I was at the level where I couldn’t stand without supporting myself against the wall .
「Isn’t this plenty enough, you, do you really think my idiot disciple hasn’t caught on?」
「In front of ojousama, I display my empty bravado to the best of my ability . 」
「If you think that is getting through to her, you must be quite the fool . 」
I understand .
Ojousama, has became quite sharp eyed in some regards .
……She’s still an incredibly adorable being with her aspect where she’s normally complacent though .
「Dragons are troublesome lifeforms aren’t they . 」
「Fufu, I won’t deny that . 」
Fun, and teacher-sama laughed out her nose as if she was amused .
「You all don’t form a contract except with someone you’re interested in . As a result, even if hypothetically, that body would crumble to dust . I can’t understand it, though it’s another race’s matter . 」
「Ara? Likes and dislikes are an important matter you know?」
「You’re one to speak . You or that noble daughter or such, don’t have likes and dislikes toward other people . 」
I unintentionally, ended up breaking into a smile .
「That’s an awful prejudice, teacher-sama . Both me and Krancesca-sama hold human like emotions of that level . 」
「Hou? I was thinking that you were a tanuki and a fox . 」
「It’s fine isn’t it, that . 」
Since I don’t dislike scheming together .
But in that case should I suppose Maria-sama becomes a great youkai?
「Yare yare, it’s enjoyable to converse with a comrade carrying an ulterior motive in their stomach but it’s bothersome isn’t it . 」
While saying that, teacher-sama clenched her fist and struck my shoulder .
That habit certainly seems befitting of an elder person but, even so since her appearance is young I saw it as unnecessarily adorable .
Even saying that, she doesn’t let loose and let her guard down like ojousama .
To me as expected, teacher-sama is a person above the cloud and thus, becomes a target of awe .
「Maa, you’re free to feel worry for my idiot disciple but, people rot when they’re over protected . 」
「Fufu, it’d be amusing to live out my life together with a fallen ojousama wouldn’t it . 」
I answer while expressing a cheerful smile and, teacher-sama made a displeased face .
「There’s no point in asking, that’s how it is then . 」
While cracking her neck, teacher-sama turned her back to me .
「When you’re truly unable to persevere, once you can say that, endure with my magic power . The result of which would also be to the benefit of my idiot disciple you know . 」
「No . 」
I decisively, shake my head to the side .
「Teacher-sama, thank you very much . However regarding the contract it’s not the case that just anyone will do . All the more, what’s called a connection or the like is something impossible among dragonkin . 」
「As expected, you already, have a provisional contract with that Alice person don’t you?」
「Fufu, it was actually an accident at first though . 」
There was no technique but that to save that time’s ojousama .
It was a sudden event but, fate might be that sort of thing .
「Then it’s fine . You won’t sadden her with pointless stubbornness?」
「That is of course . 」
Since ojousama is a kind being .
I don’t want to do something that would give her an injury .
「Fun, I really don’t understand, something like a dragon’s feelings . 」
With those words I showed my reply with as much playful intent crammed in as I could, grasping my skirt, I lowered my hips deeply and showed courtesy appropriate for a retainer .
That is clear and simple .
「That is, love . 」
◇■◇■◇
Separating from teacher-sama, I noticed there was a sensation in the core of my body on the way toward ojousama’s room .
It wasn’t something vague but, a clear 6th sense .
While the answers given by that teacher-sama in a disgusted mood were confusing things, that all can’t be helped .
It’s not such a thing as, like or dislike, connecting or not connecting .
It’s not possible if it’s not with this person .
It’s because it’s this person .
It’s that sensation .
I suppose it’s a sensation that those who aren’t dragons wouldn’t know .
This primal urge, shouldn’t I suppose my kin who go against their instinct are basically nil?
「I suppose, it must be fate . 」
I tried releasing a few words and, having arrived, I knocked on ojousama’s door .
「……Haa~i . 」
A half hearted reply that seemed lost in the mists, came back from within the room .
The adorableness somehow makes me smile doesn’t it .
「I’ll be intruding, ojousama . 」
I opened the door to look in while half imagining the appearance within the room and, scenery no different from my imagination came flying in .
The morning light shining in from a curtain that wasn’t completely closed, is insisting that the room’s master must get up .
However I can hear a quiet sleeping breath that’s as if it’s unrelated, from the bed with a canopy attached within the regularly cleaned meticulous room .
While a sweet smell that tickles the nose uplifts me deep within my chest, I approach the bedside .
「Fufu . 」
Occasionally, there are these sorts of days .
Ojousama is fundamentally strong in the morning, I don’t see her slovenly scenes all that often .
But she has a tendency to read books deep into the night or, become engrossed in something and forget the time .
As expected it’s her habit to oversleep on those sort of days .
Of course, something like obstructing ojousama’s sound sleep is the height of foolishness .
I want her to attain enough rest to satisfy her but, enjoying this moment becomes my heart’s laundry so it can’t be helped, it’s something like that .
Though I do in fact have a something like a purpose here .
I harden my heart while hiding my impure motives and carry out my work .
「It’s morning you knowー, ojousama . 」
Lifting the lace partition, I invade the bed of the sleeping girl who’s more princess-sama like than a princess-sama .
Embracing a pillow, expressing an innocent smile studded with her silver threads, I’ve found a faerie from folk legend .
Showing her pure white cheeks with a warm blood color like a young girl’s, she has ripe sakura colored lips that seem like they would melt away if touched .
She’s leaking an adorable voice like a small animal’s from that mouth .
「Nn~, it’s not……morning……」
The ojousama going no no and shaking her head, is too cute .
