HOMEROOM LATER
(Unedited) (highly recommended to DO NOT READ)

“Such a terrible thing happened during my return home! “

Walking in the joyous atmosphere of the festival, the red-haired girl in the traveling suit exaggerated her arms. She carried a large travelling bag in one hand and shrugged her shoulders smartly.

“It’s better to say that Miss Elise and the rest of them are as lively as a temple fair all the year round.”

“It’s not our fault this time. It’s teacher Kufa’s. “

The silver-haired angel walking beside her still cannot change her ceremonial clothes. Although this is because of the accident that happened one after another, the sight of passers-by gathered together unwillingly, which embarrassed the girl who exposed her upper arm.

Elise hid behind her tutor and clutched at her sleeve.

“Where did Miss Rosetti go during the spring break? “

“Well, out of Flandre… very far. The place where has nothing with Miss Elise or anyone else…Well, frankly speaking, it’s the hometown where I was born. “

The words, as if covered with several veils, made the girl’s silver hair tilt doubtfully. Rosetti waved, changing the subject with a deliberate gesture that even the students could understand.

“I’ve just come back! As I had an urgent report to get in touch with the Crest Legion, I went straight to the Holy King’s District. It turns out that Miss Elise and others are here, and will participate in the coronation ceremony!  I can only go to visit ~ I used to have full of energy. “

“Turned into a ridiculous ceremony. “

Rosetti nodded deeply in agreement.

Rossetti, who reached the Royal city’s atrium, saw the whale, liberated from their wedges, ascending into the sky, and two meteors chasing after it. For a time, the Holy King’s District fell into extreme chaos. Some said it was a terrorist attack aimed for the King. Some said that the Gods were angry, and many knights stood by for minutes helplessly .The Airship returned safely to the Royal City with Serge Shicksal on board, leaving traces of fierce fighting. With tens of thousands of people listening nervously, the Rotating King held aloft his brilliant sword and declared to them: “With this sword I have defeated the enemy who is threatening the king!”

Of course, the people cheered warmly. Even now, there is an illusion that the scene itself was meant to heat up the coronation. In fact, the people who attended the coronation ceremony were enjoying seven consecutive days and seven nights, excited about the birth of the new king. What unfolded on the back of the Airship Spring? Who was it that chopped off Alice’s friend? And what role did the dark youth, who broke in alone, play? None of this is known.

However, even if it did not remain in anyone’s consciousness, there was a certain sort of icicle-flower-like certainty sprouting in Elise’s heart.  She aimed at the most striking minaret of the Royal city and made a voice of discontent.

I sort of understand Lita’s mood. Looking at Teacher Kufa, it makes me feel anxious about myself. The guy goes off to fight something unknown, but he’s going to take it on himself…

“Huh? Miss Elise got to know the guy very well. “

The soft, marshmallow cheek was pricked several times, and Elise turned away red.

“Nothing. It’s just because I’ve done a lot of embarrassing things, so I will never forget…A lot of things really happened. Like calling him master, being disciplined, getting tired of walking together…AND…Take a bath and so on. This is bound to be an unforgettable trip.

“Well, please tell me in detail, Later!”

Rosetti crossed her hands behind her head and looked aimlessly around the noise.

“I can not find him in such a ceremony. But if we go to the Royal city, we’ll surely see each other. After all, Miss Melida doesn’t like crowds. “

Do you have something with Teacher Kufa?

“Well, well… it’s a little hard to say to two people, that, how to say?”

Rosetti replied hesitantly, feeling that it showed in her steps.

To the student who kept popping up question marks, Rosetti looked forward and said:

“Although it’s not as exaggerated as the ladies adventures, it’s hard for me. “

　　　　†　†　†

At the same moment, the man that the girl was looking for, as expected, was strolling along the Royal Corridor facing the atrium. No guards, no lights. The Rotating King and others are taking part in a parade round the block. As if left alone from the world, the noise of the ceremony was also very far away.

This was the best environment to think about things. As he melted the uniform into the darkness, Kufa looked down the marble passage and pondered. The intelligent and sensitive nerves which was ongoing unconsciously explore the surrounding atmosphere.

— Miss Kuchana and Gibson barley are locked up in “Guild Jack Raven” Prison. It’s the bargaining chip which is on an equal footing for Serge Shicksal. As a result, the situation narrowly returned to a tie.

However, this should not be taken lightly. The situation can change at any time. Just as Kufa thought he had grasped his reins, he did not know when he’s going to be fingered. He had to think of all the possible futures and think about the next step at any time.

Kufa’s head was suddenly a little dizzy. It’s a rare phenomenon that makes him press his forehead.

Black bats, Basilisk, train attacks, Kuchana Shicksal — perhaps the constant fighting had left Kufa tired. Although he had the super resilience of Lycanthrope, he had nothing to do with the accumulated fatigue. And thinking about it carefully, he feel like he hadn’t had a good meal or sleep for a long time. Anyway, now, he wanted to find somewhere, anywhere

Is there any place to feel secure?……..

Kufa, who was walking with mechanical steps, unconsciously came to the fountain square in the atrium. There was a tiny breath in the flowing water. Perhaps it was the breath that made Kufa unconsciously went to this place.

“Ah, teacher! “

Recognizing Kufa’s figure, Melida immediately jumped from the railing where she had been sitting. Spreading golden light in the darkness, she made the ritual angel’s dress flutter in the wind and gallop over at the same time.

“My lady.”

“Teacher came back from the Airship and immediately went away,  so I’ve been looking for you!  Doesn’t it matter? Is the work over? What can I do for you? “

“….there’s no problem. “

“Well, teacher, please come here! I know teacher was hurt. Although everyone is paying attention to the King Duke, I have been looking at teacher! I borrowed the first aid kit.”

“With all due respect, miss.”

With one hand raised, Kufa stopped the student who immediately tried to pull him away.

He waved his index finger as if he were preaching in class.

“Please sit on the bench over there.”

“Gee! What… have I done that I shouldn’t have?”

“Just sit down.”

“Purr ~…!”

Melida groaned anxiously, but since it was the tutor’s idea, there was no way. She shrunk her shoulders in the middle of the bench as she wondered what she would be scolded for.

Instead of looking down at melida, Kufa sat down beside her.

Then – he put his head gently against melida’s white neck.

“Tea…..Teacher!”

“This time –“

Her black hair, which touched her skin, tickled Melida. She raised her head abruptly, but only for a moment.

Next to melida’s flushed cheeks, Kufa’s banged eyelids closed as if to fall asleep.

“It’s a little hard this time.”

“EEE… “

“Just a moment. Please let me keep it that way.”

The feeling of being tickled by a bird’s feather made Melida’s slender body tremble.

As he always did to her when she was upset, melida raised her palms and touched his ultra close head. Melida combed her black hair, the feeling in her fingers hard and warm. Kufa let melida touch and breathe quietly.

Melida was suddenly conscious. Normally to Kufa, she was a child, a student, a master who was supposed to serve, and although she resented the fact that he did not see her as an equal, she had no actual feelings.

A young man who can be touched like this is an elder adult and a perfect follower to her. He is not only a strict tutor, but also a “boy”..As Melida stared at him, she got butterflies in her stomach. Then the pulse speeds up endlessly, gradually burning through the body.

It’s not clear that if she noticed, Kufa whispered to Melidas neck in a voice that sounded like a dream.

“You know nothing, my Lady. How lonely I felt just like my heart being exposed to the dust. I dream of returning to the house where you are, and expecting everyday to pass quickly.”

“………”

“The world brightened that day when I found you at the station in the Carldinals Academy District. Is the view so clear? I haven’t been so surprised for a long time. The only reason I ended up the tour so smoothly like this must be that you were there by my side.”

“Tea….Teacher……!”

Melida could not stand it any longer. She also offered to lean her cheek against Kufa’s head, put the palm of her hand, which had been combing his hair, on her side and gently hugged him. Despite the shame, she couldn’t help but fold her left palm over Kufa’s right hand and twine the fingers together.

— Gradually falling. The point of no return had been reached.

The sensation of the body was so hot as to melt into him. The feeling of not wanting to be separated for a moment is transmitted from the lips touching the hair and from the palms of the hands clenching each other. It  must be a big lie that fall in love even if you knew nothing about him, Melida thought.

Teacher Kufa, I want to know more….about you.

How long has it been like this? Feeling like a long dream, Melida slowly raised her head. Overlapping palms are full of sweat, hot enough to feel like they would never be separated again. It was almost like a proof of love. Melida felt shy but at the same time an indescribable sweetness filled her tiny chest.

“So… So…. Did teacher send the invitation for wanting to see me? “

“Huh?”

“In that case, if you told me from the beginning that I would be happy to gowith you,whether it be in the Holy King District or anywhere else. Well, teacher is always forced yourself to endure.

“Wait a minute, my Lady. What is this all about?”

As usual, the sound came to Merida’s ears, hidden in a strong voice.

She looked at Kufa in surprise and pressed her nose against his,who also looked up. Kufa frowned, and Melida stared in amazement. As words without intersection intertwined between the lips.

“….Teacher sent an invitation to the coronation, didnt you? With very expensive tickets for a special viewing party. And tickets for the hotel and the train, even for Amy and others..”

“No… I have been a shadow warrior, so I can’t send a letter from the standpoint of Kufa. I don’t… have a clue.”

“Huh? So…”

The question that had been forgotten swelled in her mind. As if enveloped in steam, Melida’s reality became something ambiguous. Her left hand gripped Kufa’s collar as if for help.

“So, who sent those invitations…..?”

　　　　†　†　†

In the dusky dungeon of Royal City, metal sounds echoed.

The only unlocked door opened from the outside. Coming out of the room were twin girls in national clothes and brown skin. One of them stretched out his arms. The other nodded to the figure with the key by the door.

“Thank you very much, My King Duke. I didn’t expect to be set free so soon.”

“It is I who should thank you.  I’m very grateful to you both for obeying me so well.

With a bunch of keys was Serge Shicksal, wrapped in a lot of bandages. Standing behind him was the sniper girl known as his “police dog.” Behind him was the sniper girl known as his “police dog.” The “police dog” passed the twins and closed the cell where there were no prisoners.

Lucille leaned forward to the tall King Duke as if she were watching his words and looks.

“Then, my King Duke. About the payment we agreed upon…”

The police dog turned from behind the twins and looked intensely at its owner.

-Do you want me to silence them?

Serge understood her cleverly, but he shook his head as if nothing had happened. He stretched out his arms in an exaggerated manner, perfunctory with this action, his gauzy face laughed happily.

“It’s on me! It’s Miss Alia from the opera troupe, isn’t it? I’ll take responsibility for her injury and do everything I can to show you her complete recovery. You needn’t worry. I asked the doctor to have a look. It seems that the only problem is the cost of treatment. “

” Great…!”

The relieved twins had no way of knowing that death’s scythe had just spared their lives. And the petite girl right behind me, sheathed her dagger.

Lyra looked like she was on the annoyance menu and stuck her fingers to her lips.

“But then, what will become of us?”

“Nothing will happen. You will go back to the opera troupe. I’ve already talked to the leader. “

Hearing the name of the dear leader, the twins looked up. Serge smiled as if to reassure them.

“You were forced to leak information because the enemy took family members of the troupe as hostage. I will revoke your charges in the name of the King Duke. You can go back to the same life as before. The members of the troupe are waiting for you . “

Wow! The twins’ faces brightened. The “police dog” passed them in silence.

The King Duke turned briskly at the sight of the petite girl’s return. Trembling, Lucille and Lyra followed the light footsteps toward the exit.

“But why do you order us to do this, my King Duke?”

Lucille said, looking at Lyra. Lyra nodded, and then she said,

“That’s right. We were asked to” tell the attackers the tour itinerary.”

“Because I have something to confirm, I hope you can cause trouble. I ask you to send heavy envelopes on the way, right? In fact, it was a letter to the Family of Paladin Knight Duke . “

“” Eeeee!””

“To be right, it’s another residence. I hope Melida Angel will also be on this tour with Kufa-Kun. Thanks to this, I know something very meaningful. “

The initial shock was too great for the twins to absorb what he said next. But even if they could hear it, they probably couldn’t understand half of the content.

Serge continued in a loud voice, as though he were talking to himself.

“What I want to know is Melida Angel’s relationship with Guild Jack Raven behind her. Is she backed by Guild Jack Raven? Or is Kufa-Kun alone? In the final analysis, what is Kufa-Kun’s mission? Guarding an incompetent gifted girl? Or…?

“Er… that, my Lord…?”

“Even unexpected accidents occurred successively, Kufa-Kun still did not request to rescue to Guild Jack Raven. Why? Because it’s a task must be done alone. In that case, is his love for Melida Angel acting? – No. He stepped forward to protect Little Melida when the train was attacked. If it is not really love her, he could not do that.”

The King Duke was no longer talking to twins. He looked at the shorter woman and grinned as if he had changed the object of his speech to the “police dog” standing by.

“In other words, in the future, no matter what difficulties the incompetent gifted girl will be in, the Guild Jack Raven will not show up to save her. However, only Kufa-Kun’s sacrifice is real. It seems necessary to argue with him head-on — oh, it’s getting more and more interesting.”

Ha – ha – the sound of laughter echoed through the dungeon. The “police dog”, who listened to his master’s words without expression, suddenly stopped and looked away.

The tall master raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the little girl who had stopped moving.

‘What’s the matter?

“…………………”

After a while, the girl shook her head and took another step. She stood beside him as if supporting her bandaged owner, followed by the twins, who had no chance of interrupting, and the footsteps of the four gradually receded.

Then, from the dark shadows that the police dog had just focused on-

The white beauty of the girl appeared quietly. After confirming that the footstep had completely disappeared, she would lean her back against the wet wall. Whew – The little chest of thirteen was up and down.

 Hearing the name of the teacher, I couldn’t help but get greedy. From that point of view, there would be so many obstacles during the tour, which are all ordered by my elder brother.

Oh  mature smile dotted with the lips.

“I have to inform mother.”

Black crystal hair turned around, with angel clothes swaying in the wind, and light footsteps sounded. She danced in the depths of the darkness and disappeared.

　　　　†　†　†

“Ah ~! At last I’ve found you! “

A loud voice punctured the eardrum, and Melida and Kufa, who had pressed their faces together, reflexively pulled away. The palms of the hands, which were so hot, were easily released.

Hurriedly, they turned their heads. Two familiar faces appeared at the entrance to the square. Elise Angel, in the same angelic dress as Melida, and her tutor, a red-haired girl in a travelling suit.

“Miss Rosetti!… It feels as if I hadn’t seen you for a long time.”

“Really! We haven’t been apart long. “

Kufa was relieved to see her carefree approach.

Should it be said that accidental relaxation too much? Made Melida see a very shameful side. The sudden shortening of distance might have scared her. Elice approached the red-faced Merida and asked, “What’s the matter?” Melida shook her head and replied, “Nothing.”

Fortunately, there was no light. They did not seem to have caught Kufa and Melida embracing each other. Kufa calmed his heart under the mask, while facing his partner again.

“You are so late.”

“What are you saying! I wasn’t there at the crucial moment, but I was also very hard .(mumbling) “

“So you’ve been looking for me? What’s up? “

Kufa asked, remembering her first words, and for some reason Rosetti looked away in embarrassment. It was like a child covering up traces of mischief.

“… What did you do? I won’t be angry. Just tell me the truth. “

“Why should I be scolded? No, its…”

Witheyes wandering, She glanced at the angel sisters. Its just as hard for Melida and Elise to grasp what it meant. They could only watch the conversation of the elders.

After a while, Rosetti suddenly raised her right hand.

“Sure enough, there’s no need to think about it, it’s just you! “

“Wow. “

“It’s impossible to ask the seniors of the Crest Legion for this kind of thing…. It should be said that the first one comes to my mind is you, who has been occupying the center!”

— What on earth are you talking about?

Just before Kufa intended to ask this question, Rosetti slowly drew closer. She grabbed Kufa’s shoulders while dropping her bag.

Then

“Erm… Choo!”

She pressed her lips to hers without sign.

The practice is obviously like a child, but it is a passionate kiss. She put her hand around Kufa’s neck and sucked the honey for a few seconds.

Chirp, she moved her lips away fiercely, as she did when the lips touched me. Red face, she turned her back to Kufa, covering her cheeks, without caring about the gaping Kufa.

“Coo! It’s… it’s embarrassing!”

“What… What are you doing suddenly, Miss Rosetti… “

Kufa could not help but feel a little hot on his cheek, but still asked in a silly rather than shy manner. Did the bad habits of the students infect her? But when it comes to teasing the opposite sex, it’s too effective. Elise looked blank, her white face paler, and Melida trembled as if she had seen the end of the world.

“That… that’s… my… teacher’s… my… my…Ahhhhh…..

She even began to mutter incoherent words. What’s Rosetti up to? Kufa looked at her tentatively, and saw the saboteur, the terrorist, said “Hem,” with an unreflective expression. She pressed her palm to the back of his head and stuck out his tongue in a disingenuous manner.

“This is my first kiss. Is that even?”

“It doesn’t matter… There must be some reason, right? Explain it quickly.”

“Well, actually, I’m sorry to be so sudden, but –“

Bang — Rosetti folded her hands in front of her face, slightly tilting her head.

She looked up at Kufa with a very endearing look in her eyes as everyone watched

Without any premonition to say so:

“Hey, Ku. Will you marry me?”

“… … … What?”
