Chapter 23: Stella Vermillion
After Tsukasa wore his clothes, he saw the girl had already sat on the sofa while looking around. While he might not say anything, he could see this girl sniffing his room which made his eyes twitch.
"Hey, perverted girl," Tsukasa greeted.
"Who is a perverted girl?!" The girl was furious, but then she complained. "Aren't you the perverted one?!"
"Me? Pervert? Why?" Tsukasa was confused.
"You - you have shown your body to an unmarried girl like me! Know some shame!" The girl said, flustered while remembering Tsukasa's perfect body.
"But weren't you the one who entered my room so suddenly?" Tsukasa said weirdly.
"Huh? Your room?" The girl was confused and asked, "Isn't this my room?"
"...."
"Should we call Kurono-director to ask?" Tsukasa asked.
"Great idea." The girl nodded without hesitation.
---
"So, what is it?" Kurono asked after she entered Tsukasa's dorm. While she might hide it, she was curious about his room and wondered what he would do with it, but there wasn't much change in his room. However, it was normal since it was only a day after he moved.
'But this room smells so nice.'
Kurono thought as she sat on the sofa relaxedly.
'Is this your home?' Tsukasa was speechless when he saw Kurono's action.
"Oh, you have a cola here, Kugayama? Can you give me one too?" Kurono suddenly asked when she noticed a can of cola on the table.
"Is this a time for you to ask for a cola?" Tsukasa was speechless, but he took a can of cola before he gave it to Kurono.
"Thanks." Kurono opened the can and sipped it with relish.
"How can you drink cola so relish in this situation, director-sensei!" The girl was fuming, looking at Kurono, who was drinking a cola. "Also, how could you give her a cola when we were in this situation?!" While she sounded angry, there was still a blush on her face since Tsukasa's image had been imprinted on her mind before.
His appearance, body, and the thing between his legs.
The girl just couldn't get it out of her head!
Tsukasa sat next to Kurono, which made Kurono glance at him slightly with some blush on her face, then asked, "I'm also as confused as her, Kurono-director. Can you tell us what is happening?"
"Can you tell? Aren't you the smartest man in this academy?" Kurono asked with a smile.
Tsukasa's expression was weird before he asked, "...Don't tell me that she's my dormmate?"
"That's right. You get 100 points for me." Kurono nodded with a smile.
"...." Tsukasa and the girl.
"How - how can that be?!"
Before Tsukasa said anything, the girl was flustered.
"Hmm? You two become dormmates, that's all. Why do you react so exaggeratedly?" Kurono asked with a confused expression.
"But the students have to be on the same level to become roommates, right?" Tsukasa asked.
"Aren't you on the same level as Vermillion, Kugayama?" Kurono said.
"Huh? You're an A-rank Blazer?" Stella asked.
That's right.
The girl who had become Tsukasa's dormmate was Stella Vermillion.
The second princess of the Vermillion kingdom and the one who was born with the strongest magic.
Tsukasa felt weird since he knew that he shouldn't have something to do with Stella, but he had something to do with her now. He glanced at Stella, and she just happened to glance at him.
"No, I'm D-rank," Tsukasa said as he shook his head.
"D-rank?" Stella was confused, then looked at Kurono.
"While he's a D-rank, he's strong enough to match you," Kurono said with a solemn expression, especially when she recalled the arena where she had fought with Tsukasa before. The arena was cut in half, and she also had heard that the clouds were even cut by him, which showed how strong he was.
While Tsukasa was just a D-rank Blazer, his ability was strong!
"Really?" Stella looked at Tsukasa in surprise while wondering what kind of ability Tsukasa had that made him able to match her. She didn't have any doubts about Kurono's words since there were many strange abilities in this world, and even with just a glance, she could tell that he was strong. Partly, it might be because she saw his body before, which made her blush.
However...
"But - but we're male and female, what - what if some mistakes happen?!" The girl asked, and she even became flustered.
"Oh? What kind of mistakes? Can you tell me, Vermillion?" Kurono asked with a smile, but when she glanced at Tsukasa, she somehow understood why Stella Vermillion felt that a mistake might happen between them.
Stella's face turned even redder before she quickly looked away. "We - well... that's..." She knew that Kurono was teasing her, but what could she say?
"There are other males and female students who are paired up. If you don't like it, you can quit the school, you know?" Kurono said calmly while looking at Stella.
"!!!"
Stella's expression became serious, and she realized why she came far to this country. She took a deep breath while facing Tsukasa and said, "I understand, but if we're going to live in the same room, I have to set up two rules here!"
"Rules?" Tsukasa frowned.
"Don't look at me. Don't breathe," Stella said.
"...You want me to die?" Tsukasa was speechless, but then he wondered whether it was alright to talk with her.
"If you can live up to those two rules, you can live in front of the dorm," Stella said with a smile.
"I'm not even living in the dorm." Tsukasa frowned and asked, "Also, aren't you the one who peeked at me? I should be the one who is wary about my safety. What if you suddenly attack me?"
"Who - who is going to attack you?!" Stella blushed as she responded furiously. "Also, I wasn't peeking at you! Weren't you the one who has a hobby to show your body to an unmarried girl?"
"I don't have such a perverted hobby!" Still, if Tsukasa had a hobby, he was sure that many girls would flock around him. Also, Stella misunderstood since he didn't really mind showing his body to a married woman too. After all, he didn't have prejudice toward a married woman.
Kurono looked at Stella thoughtfully with some jealousy since she also wanted to see Tsukasa's body.
"I'm the first one who stays here, so you should move out if you don't want to," Tsukasa said without hesitation. He followed gender equality, and if Stella annoyed him, he might be able to give her a dropkick.
Probably.
'Or I might as well push her to bed.' Tsukasa thought suddenly.
"I don't want to move! If you can't follow my rules, then you should be the one who gets out!" Stella was also stubborn, and she didn't want to lose.
"Well, calm down, you two." Kurono looked at the two with a smile and said, "Chivalry is about to decide your destiny with your sword, isn't it?"
"Are you saying we should let our abilities speak?" Tsukasa asked.
"Yes." Kurono nodded and said, "You can do a mock battle, and whoever wins gets to decide the rules in your room."
"That's great." Stella suddenly nodded with a smile then looked at Tsukasa. "I'm not sure why Director-sensei has a great opinion about your strengths, but Director-sensei has said so let's determine this with our sword." She came to this country to become stronger, and she wanted to see what this D-rank blazer could do to her.
"Are you sure? You might lose, you know? I'm not gentle enough to show mercy in the battle," Tsukasa said calmly. He didn't think that he would lose to Stella even if she was known as one who had the biggest amount of magic in the world and history.
Stella snorted and said with a smile, "If you have so much confidence, then how about we make a bet?"
"Bet?" Tsukasa raised his eyebrow.
"Yeah, it's not about the rules of the room that is on the table." Stella pointed her finger at Tsukasa and said, "The loser will obey the winner for the rest of his life! And no matter how humiliating, he must become the servant who follows orders like a dog!"
Kurono whistled and thought that Stella was amazing for being able to say that. Still, she felt a bit envious of Stella since if Stella won, Stella could have Tsukasa as her servant.
Tsukasa looked at Stella for a moment and thought that this girl must be a masochist. "Is that okay?"
"What do you mean?" Stella asked with a frown.
"If you lose, you'll become my slave who follows orders like a dog, you know?" Tsukasa looked at Stella thoughtfully as if he understood something and asked, "Do you want to become my dog that much?"
"...."
Even though his smile was so gentle and handsome, the thing that came out from his mouth was outrageous, but when Kurono and Stella thought that they might be treated like a dog by Tsukasa, they couldn't help but blush.
"Who - who wants to become your dog?!" Stella retorted in a flustered manner and asked, "Do you dare to do it or not?!" She felt that she might lose to him if they continued to talk, so it was better to talk with their swords.
"Alright, let's do it between you and me. Let's have a mock battle, Vermillion-san," Tsukasa said.
"That's what I want to hear." Stella smiled and said, "I can't wait to see you become my slave later."
"That's the same for me," Tsukasa said with a smile.
"It's settled then." Kurono clapped her hands with a smile and said, "An hour from now, we'll begin a mock battle at the Fourth Training Field!"
Tsukasa and Stella looked at each other.
Their fighting spirit clashed with each other, and a similar thought crossed their minds!
'I don't want to lose! I'll win!'
With such a thought, they were ready to clash their swords!
