Seirei Tsukai to Shinjuu Tsukai no Shounen Volume 2 Chapter 33

"Damn it…… What suddenly happened to that guy!"

Lyos slammed his fist while seeing his friend who jumped through the sky when he extended his hand and missed him in front of his eyes.

The cause of that distorted look is not because of the pain on his fist. The face of his friend who was brooding over something, was sticking to his head.

"Lutisan. Can I…… receive some healing magic?"
"Okay okay. Please think a little before doing anything, okay?"
"Sorry….."

Anyway since his hand was in pain, Lyos was crying to Lutia.

Alca panicked and shouts desperately while seeing Lyos who drops his shoulder and being healed by magic.

"A, anyway, let's run after him! If we ask Frost-chan to detect him, we can find his whereabout!"

Everyone except Yuuka nods as what she did is the right decision, and turn their sight to Yuuka.

Then, Yuuka closes her eyes, and talks to her contracted spirit. Then, after a momentary silent, she opened her eyes, and

"It, it's no use…… I can't feel his power. Feny-san…… no, senpai removes the trace of his power….."

Muttered apologetically. Hearing that all of them sigh.

At that time, Lyos decided to ask Yuuka about something that he worried about.

"Hey, you said that you can detect his power, right? So, you think that now Akito is removing the trace of his power. Then it means that he managed to master that power, right? What is the power of that Akito?"

Yuuka moves her shoulder from surprise for a moment.

"U, umm….. It's senpai's power though……?"
"Without having a contracted spirit, you won't be able to control your magic power, right?"
"U, umm….. Look, even if senpai doesn't have any contracted spirit, he is still able to control the magic power inside his body."
"But, removing the trace of it is impossible, right? Or rather, are you really able to detect it?"

As Yuuka looked around restlessly and said that, Lyos realized that she might know something as he had expected.

Then, he asks something that he has been thinking recently.

"Hey, why don't you tell me? The contract seal that Akito has already had before I knew him, then the flame magic that blew away the military spirit, and the thing about he said that he needs you. They are related to this, right?"

Yuuka's shoulder trembles. Her eyes movement increases.

Lyos saw that as a confirmation.

When Lyos sighs "Haa…….", Alca opens her mouth.

"……Hey, about Aki-kun…… I, might have an idea about it."

Because of that words, Everyone shifts their gaze to Alca.

"Actually, in Aki-kun and my town, 11 years ago…… a spirit that shone really bright appeared. It was said that that spirit was defeated by Aki-kun's father, but……"

Alca remembered. About the light spirit which appeared in the sky.

"After that, when I came back from the evacuation place in a few days, there is a contract seal on Aki-kun's right hand. At that time, I didn't really think about it, but as I thought, it might be related to this."

Hearing that, everyone becomes quiet. Only Yuuka feels uncomfortable. Lutia looks into her face.

"Hey, Frost-chan, why don't you tell us? About Hiiragi-kun's 'power'."

When Lutia smiles at her, she averts her eyes.

"That's right! Since we are Aki-kuns friend! I'm also his childhood friend! It's unfair while you know and we don't know!"
"Right. We also want to help Hiiragi-kun if something has troubled him. In order to do that, I think we must know his situation beforehand."

Asha also agrees to Alca's outcry.

"Se, senpai will be saved by only me. That's why it's okay if I'm the only one who know about it. I'm his educational guidance student, junior, and girl, girlfriend……"

Moreover Yuuka suddenly looked away. Her face is bright red.

"Girl, girlfriend—- Ugh!"
"Just keep quiet now."

Alca bent forward toward Yuuka, but her mouth was block by Asha.

fter seeing that and showing a wry smile, Lyos opens his mouth.

"Hey, I beg you. I'm his friend. If something happens, I'm thinking to help him."
"No matter how much you are his friend or being cool, he won't be saved by you. Senpai can only be saved by me."
"That's why, I ask the reason why, right? Why don't you just tell us at least the reason? I beg you."

Lyos lowered his head to Yuuka who stubbornly didn't want to answer. Seeing that, Yuuka is a bit surprised.

"Ra, raise your head! A senior shouldn't lower his head to a junior. Good grief…… senpai is fine with it, you are fine with it, it's marvelous how you are able to bow your head easily to others, moreover to a junior."

Yuuka remembered that Akito had bowed his head inside the forest because he had got her involved and let out a sigh.

Hearing that, Lyos directs a strong gaze toward Yuuka.

"Ughh……"

Yuuka quailed at that. That shows how serious Lyos eyes are.

"I beg you. Seriously."

Lyos said that once again to Yuuka. Then a silence comes and continues, after that as if to cut the silence Yuuka lets out a sigh,

"Geez……There really are a lot of stubborn people….. Fine, I will answer that much. Why can't all of you help senpai …… because there is no one in the academy who can defeat senpai except me."

The others tilted their head from Yuuka's words. They don't understand what she means when she said that there is no one who can defeat E-ranked Akito except her.

Lyos immediately speaks about the problem.

"Hey, I already knew recently that Akito is strong. But hey, he always lose decisively, you know? I think those 2 girls, Asha and Alca at least would be able to win against him."

Then Asha interrupts him.

"No. It's impossible for me. Our compatibility is bad. But, won't Alcchan win? Being a vanguard is her specialty, and her magic is versatile. Well…… her control is bad though……"
"Wait a minute! What do you mean I am bad! What is it!"

When Alca expresses her complaints, Asha mutters "Oh my.",

"You are not bad. Normally with your spirit and that physical abilities, it would be around rank AA or above, but since there is always an accidental discharge whenever it is measured, it is resulted in B, right?"
"Mumumu….. I, I can't retort….."

When Asha quietly said that, Alca puffed her cheek.

"What are you two arguing about….."

Moreover when Lyos sighed "Haa…..", Yuuka looked at the 2 of them,

"No. it's impossible for those 2. They will instantly be defeated like a trash."

She decisively said that. Moreover those eyes are the eyes which look at trash like what she has said just now.

Of course those 2 reacted to that,

"What do you mean by trash!?"

Alca who is called with something bad shouted with teary eyes,

Instantly……. Huh? Fufufu…… aren't you talking too much?"

Asha who has a high pride showed a dark smile.

"No. if it's compared to senpai, you guys are truly trashes."

Even seeing that, Yuuka doesn't seem to withdraw her statement. She is looking at Asha and the others with cold eyes.

"So, can you defeat Akito?"

Because of Lyos' question, Yuuka moved her sight, and slowly opened her mouth.

"Even for me……. I…… might lose."
"It must be a lie, hey……What is he……"

Because of Yuuka's quiet muttering, Lyos becomes pale.

That's obvious. Yuuka is S-ranked spirit user who is said to be the highest. For her to say that she will lose, of course it will be shocking.

"No, I might be able to barely win now, but if senpai learn how to control his power, I think that even me will lose immediately. Senpai is that strong, and he will become even stronger from now on."

Hearing that, everyone looked at each other's face. After that, Lutia opened her mouth.

"Hey. Can't you tell us about that power?"

She said that while smiling, but everyone in this room understood that Lutia was serious.

Because of that, Yuuka sighs.

"…….Although I will be hated by senpai…… well, it will be found out someday……. It would be a hassle, and it might be better to told them. Sorry, senpai…… please forgive my incompetent self….. Please give me a punishment….. Punishment…… is not bad…..! Or rather I want to be abused by senpai…..! "

All of them look at Yuuka who puts her both of her hands on her cheeks, and starts wiggling after showing a bright face as if looking at a strange child.

「うわあ……」
"Uwaa……"

Seeing that, Alca can't bear it anymore, and let out that kind of voice.

When she became aware after wiggling under everyone cold gaze, she purposely coughed "Ehem",

"We, well, so I will tell you guys, okay?"

Said that with a red face. Seeing that, everyone's looks become serious, and it becomes quiet.

Then in the middle of that silence, Yuuka quietly takes a breath……..

"……Senpai's contracted spirit is, the one who is called the divine beast, the spirit whose rank can't be measured…… the God who governs fire, the immortal bird Phoenix."
"""""……………………Eh?"""""

The moment Yuuka declared that, everyone in that room was petrified.

◇

—–Gatan!

"He, Hey Akito!? What's wrong!?"

Because Akito fell suddenly on the table, Sylvia let out a surprised voice.

Sylvia shakes Akito's shoulder, trying to wake him up. Tears slightly accumulated on her eyes.

"Rai, Laiah! What should I do! Akito is dead!"
"Aren't you overthinking it? Because Hime-sama did various thing, it seems that Hiiragi-sama fell asleep."

Laiah answers Sylvia who shouts with teary eyes.

"E, eh? No way! Is, is it my fault? Wawawa! Wha, what should I do? What should I do? That, that's right! Laiah! Immediately bring people who can use healing magic!"

Sylvia who becomes panic after hearing Laiah's words, shouts at Laiah half crying.

Then Laiah giggled.

"Wha, what are you laughing about!? Now is not the time for—– Uwaa! He will die! He will die! Hurry up, Laiah!"

Seeing her maid laughing, Sylvia becomes panic and angry at the same time.

Seeing that, Laiah giggles more happily.

"He is just sleeping, Hime-sama."
"Eh?"

Sylvia muttered with a blank look hearing what Laiah had said, and looked at Akito. Then, certainly Akito is sleeping quietly.

"I, I, I, I'm glad…… I, I was shocked!"

Sylvia lets out a relieved breath after confirming it.

Seeing that, Laiah grinned, and

"Well, I guess It can't be helped. He didn't sleep much since yesterday thanks to the princess who has some problems somewhere on her head……"
"Uguu!?"
"Moreover she forced him to fight in that condition….."
"Uguguu!?"
"Then, despite being that tired he still helped that princess……"
"That, that's right…… Ehehe♪"
"Why are you being bashful?"
"I, I'm not being bashful!"
"Aren't you being bashful when you said that?"
"Uguu!?"

Sylvia was restless being bashful and groaning because her maid's attack.

"Moreover, for Hime-sama to panic like that when Hiiragi-sama fell……Hime-sama really loves Hiiragi-sama♪"
"Geez! If you talk anymore, I will get angry, you know!?"

Sylvia glares at her maid who said that while smiling.

But, while smiling, the maid

"Hime-sama being…… Wawawa! He will die! He will die!…… Buukusukusu"
"Waa! Waa! Waa!"

Sylvia shouted at her maid who put her hands on her mouth after she wiggled her body imitating Sylvia,

"Stupid mean Laiah! It's because of that, even at this age, you are unable to find a boyfriend!"
"I don't need a boyfriend though, I'm fine with being able to stay at Hime-sama's side. Or rather, since I'm just 2 years older than HIme-sama, I'm not an old lady, you know?"

Sylvia is at loss saying "Ugh!?" to her maid who replied quietly.

"Ugh….. Sorry, Laiah….. I talked too much…… Will you stay with me from now on?"

When Sylvia quietly said that while tugging her maid's sleeve with a bit crying face, the maid shows a gentle smile,

"Yes, I will stay with you, Hime-sama. After all——"
"After all?"

And then, when Sylvia tilts her neck because her maid is smiling,

"Hime-sama who is in love struck with Hiiragi-sama is too cute! What's with this gap with the usual Hime-sama!? Aah! I want to tease her! I want to tease her! I want to thoroughly find out how far it can go in the future!"
"!? Hey!? Laiah! Now is in the middle of night! Shouting is bad! Or rather being mean everyday too is bad! —- Aah! Please someone! Laiah is broken!?"

Sylvia becomes panic because Laiah suddenly started acting wildly. That moment continued for several minutes, and when Laiah finally calmed down Sylvia let out a sigh.

"I'm sorry, Hime-sama. I have lost my composure. No…… Hime-sama is a sinful person."
"Mhm. I don't understand what you are talking about, but please calm down for the time being. Haa…… the black tea has gone cold. Would you make a new one?"
"Understood, Hime-sama."

Seeing Laiah bowing her head, Sylvia lets out a sigh, and drinks up the cold tea. Then after that, she asked for another to Laiah.

"Yes, Here you are. Aah, Hime-sama. As you have an important match tomorrow, so if you drink it, are you fine with being unable to sleep? Leave Hiiragi-sama to me."

While putting the newly brewed black tea in front of Sylvia, Laiah smiles.

"Is that so? Can I leave it to you? There would be meaningless if I don't sleep soon and lose tomorrow."

Sylvia whose cheek becomes blushed taking a glimpse of Akito for a moment, quickly put the cup on her mouth as if to hide her embarrassment.

"That's so, Hime-sama."

The moment Sylvia drank the black tea and put the cup on the table, Laiah smiled.

"Hmm…… Eh, ehh? Somehow I feel sleepy—-"

—Gatan!

With a loud noise, Sylvia also fell to the table.

"Good night, Hime-sama."

After that, the maid shows a gentle smile, and this big room, only the sound of Akito and Sylvia's sleeping breath quietly reverberated.
