Editing Masou Gakuen HxH:Volume 9 Short Story 1 (section)

===Part 4===

Both of them fell asleep right after and passed the night.

When Kizuna opened his eyes due to the morning sun that shined from the window, there was Zelcyone that was softly breathing cutely inside his arms. It was an innocent sleeping face with a slight smile tugged there.

‘――I never thought that I would spend a night with Zelcyone.’

Even after the reinstall Zelcyone kept fawning at Kizuna a lot. It made him recall that dazzling night.

“Zel, it’s morning now.”

He called at her while caressing her head, Zelcyone opened her eyes with a faint voice.

“Good morning, Zel.”

“Nn……”

Along with the strength of will that was gradually filling her eyes, expression was vanishing from her face.

She raised her head slowly from Kizuna’s arm pillow and stood up on the futon.

“Zel?”

And then she put on her underwear with sluggish movement and she put her arm through her uniform’s sleeve.

“Aah, are you going to school? Or else to the dormitory――”

She glared at Kizuna who was calling out to her with eyes as though he had killed her parents.

“Shut up! Don’t you push your luck Kizuna!”

“……heh?”

That drastic change of attitude made Kizuna stiffen with a cramped smile on his face.

“Last night, to my shame, I got taken by surprise, but that was an accident. Don’t you think that the likes of you can do whatever you please with me! That doesn’t mean that I now belong to you!”

“Eh, a, yeah…..but about yesterday……”

Perhaps she was recalling what happened last night, Zelcyone’s cheeks reddened and she pursed her lips tightly.

“For, forget about last night! Or, or else, do you need me to erase it for you huh!?”

“N, no, stop that please!”

Kizuna immediately covered his eyes.

“……Listen well. About this matter, don’t you tell even a single soul.”

Kizuna thought that was only par for the course, but he didn’t dare to open his mouth.

“I got it……so, if you are going home then I’ll send you off――”

“No need! Don’t put on an air like you are my master! I’ve not become your woman at all! Engrave that into your heart! Hida Kizuna!”

The sliding door was closed with a bang and Zelcyone’s figure vanished.

“Aa……got it.”

While being half dazed from that complete change of attitude, Kizuna looked around the room where Zelcyone had left. He slowly stood up, put on his yukata, and then while thinking about going for a morning bath because this was a rare chance, he approached the window.

“……ah”

Outside the window, there was Zelcyone in the middle of the path towards the gate looking up to here.

The gazes of the two met and Zelcyone’s cheeks reddened before she turned her face. And then, she headed towards the gate with large steps.

While looking at her back figure, he wondered what he should talk about with her the next time they met face to face?

――Like that, Kizuna pondered.
