The Slayer's Chosen

(16) The Disagreement

"*Yawn*" It was already at noon, and yet Lux let out a yawn, while sitting on the bench. The two girls beside him grow a cncerned look.

"Lux? Had you not get enough sleeps yesterday night?" "Ah, well..." His voice trailed off. There was no way he could explain to Princess Lishearte about Daisy and how her trainings get harder since the arrival of the "Academy's Strongest" Celistia make Daisy wary of a possible fight.

That, and the crossdressing patrol, of course. He was embarassed to bring up with, mich to Daisy's (And the Triads, possibly) displeasure.

"Hm, if that's the case, then I hope you to take some rest, after all..." She lowered her head in small embarassment. "We finally get to spend times together..." Lux find the young princess who often lower her head to mumble embarassed words cute. Beside, the young princess is doing her best for the country, both as a Drag-ride mechanic and a Drag-knight.

Perhaps that's why Lux is very much willing to aid her, and to atonement for his helplessness in the past—

"As much as I hope to stay with Lux-kun as usual... should we reduce our studying time, perhaps?" "Please don't," he let out an akward smile upon Krulucifer. "There is much I have to catch up with my classmates, so... I shall be in your care, Krulucifer-san."

However, ever since the week-long request, she grew closer to Lux, for instance... "Or..." she close her distance between Lux, to whisper directly to his ear, "maybe we should go out togeher for quality times?" His face flared up from the girl's whisper and the fragrance from her long, light-blue hair. "Ah, um, a-about that..."

After the bold and sudden kissing, she began to tease him more often, and some where Lux questioned if the teasing are still considered as "friends". However, when Daisy, for once, brought up the topic about the girls he encounter frequently in the academy, he do his best to evade the topic, leaving a teasing smirk of the bunny-girl's face.

"Hey! Are you two done whispering?" Lisha drag Lux's arm towards herself. "Besides, I believe the lover role-play is already over!" "My, is that so?" "Yes, now release him!" The girls now went into a smaller version of tug-of-war, with Lux as the "special guest".

"Um, g-girls...? There are people watching us..." Ignoring Daisy's laughs, Lux is currently attempting to defuse the situation.

———————————

"As I said, you might had to, quite literally, force you way to her approval." "I know, but..." Back on the grassy field, the two figure sighed in frustration. 

"Speaking of which, the idea of the girls... what exactly are they thinking?" Daisy faceplamed and recoiled a little, while Lux can only make up a akward smile. 

Lux was called to Lisha's warehouse after school, where he was greeted by female student he knew for a time. The girls hold their concern about the return of the man-hater Celistia, and they raised their own ideas of such...

Lisha, as someone who was regarded as a Drag-ride maniac, proposed to gift her Drag-ride parts from the Ruin, which was immediately shoted by Tillfur's retort. The cheerful girl then think of a handmade accessories. The "good idea" turned out to be soemthing else when she ask for a trial on herself.

Later, Shalice of the 2rd year, who is also one of the Triad, mention about how she can mix alcohol in juice, tricked Celistia into drinking it, and to have Lux nurse him. Lux immediately protested against the plan that risked his expulsion.

As soon as Lux's rejection upon Shalice's suggestion, Noct and Krulucifer, whom Lux considered as the calm and collected girls among the rest, show their disapproval on the idea, but not before commenting on how Lux's unable to take the lead from Celistia, much to the male's dismay.
