===Parte 1===
===Part 1===


Havia uma cor de pele.
There was the colour of skin.


Um vapor branco que cobria toda a visão.
A white steam that covered all sight.


Do outro lado do vapor, havia uma parede e um pilar de mármore que eram visíveis devido à
On the other side of the steam, there was a wall and a marble pillar that was visible due to being lit by a lamp.
iluminação da lâmpada.


E a sensação da água morna que molhou suas calças de algodão.
And the feeling of warm water that wet his cotton trousers.


Não importa como você pensou sobre isso, este era um banheiro.
No matter how you thought about it, this was a bathroom.


“.... H-Hmm?”
“……U-Umm?”


(Como isso aconteceu de novo......?)
(How did this happen again……?)


Essa pergunta estava passando na mente de Lux.
That question was going through Lux’s mind.


“.......!?”
“……!?”


Lux olhou para baixo enquanto tentava não olhar para as garotas nuas que estavam chocadas
Lux looked down while he tried not to look at the naked girls that were standing there shocked on the other side of the steam.
ali do outro lado do vapor.


“..........Fu.”
“…………Fu.”


Debaixo de Lux, que estava dentro da água quente com suas roupas, havia uma garota que
Underneath Lux who was inside the hot water with his clothes on was a girl who made a laugh.
deu risada.


Ao contrário de seu corpo pequeno, havia um sorriso maduro em sua expressão.
Unlike her slim body, there was a mature smile on her expression.


Sua suave pele branca ficou vermelha devido estar no banho, onde suas bochechas também
Her smooth white skin turned red due to being inside the bath where her cheeks also became red.
ficaram vermelhas.


(Ela é bonita.)
(She’s cute.)


Ele poderia dizer isso se ele estivesse olhando-a de lado, mas Lux não apenas não podia dizer,
He could have said that if he was looking at her from the side, but Lux not only couldn’t speak, but also couldn’t move an inch due to the dangerous feeling and the steam coming out from the girl.
mas também não podia mover um músculo devido ao vapor e a sensação perigosa vindo da
garota.


“......Ei, pervertido. Você tem alguma coisa a dizer antes de morrer?”
“……Hey, pervert. Do you have anything left to say before dying?”


Palavras assustadoras saíram de seu rosto adorável, onde ela fez um sorriso forçado.
Scary words came out from her lovely face where she had forcefully made a smile.
Bem, não é estranho que ela esteja brava.


Isso porque... Ele podia vê-la.
Well, it wouldn’t be weird for her to be angry.


Dentro do banheiro espaçoso, a toalha que estava enrolada em seu corpo caiu e seu corpo nu
That’s because— he could see her.
pôde ser visto.


Seu lindo peito estava tremendo enquanto batia de volta a água quente.
Inside the spacious bathroom, the towel that was wrapped around her body fell and her fresh looking naked body became visible.


Sua clavícula que se elevava acima da água quente e a cintura fina em seus quadris.
Her cute looking breasts that were shivering while hitting back the hot water.


E, mesmo os lugares abaixo de sua barriga sedosa estavam—
Her collarbone that rose above the hot water and the tight curve on her hips.


...........”
And also, even places below her silky stomach were—.


Seu destino pode ser decidido com sua próxima palavra.
“…………”


Lux começou escolher com cuidado as palavras com sua mente em pânico.
His fate might be decided with his next words.


(E-Eu deveria elogiar ela primeiro.......!)
Lux started to choose his words carefully with his panicked head.


No passado, quando ele fazia tarefas enquanto trabalhava como garçom de bar, lhe era
(I, I should praise her first……!)
ensinado a técnica de como elogiar uma garota.


Antes que ele pudesse chegar a alguma coisa, sua opinião honesta saiu de sua boca.
In the past, when he did chores while working as a bar waiter, he was taught the technique of how to praise a girl.


“......Hmm, isto é. Você é fofa. Seu corpo em si é como o de uma criança.... Não, mesmo que
Before he could come up with something, his honest opinion came out from his mouth.
você pareça jovem, você tem um peito e tanto...... Espera, o que!?”


(Estou morto.)
“……Hmm, the thing is. You are cute. Your whole package itself is like that of a child……no, even though you seem young, you have quite the chest—and it’s quite tempting. ……Wait, what the!?”


(O que diabos eu estou dizendo!? Isso não era o que eu deveria dizer!)
(I’m dead.)


(Quem foi!? Aquele que me ensinou a maneira errada de dizer isso!? Aquele maldito dono de
(What on earth am I saying! That’s not what I’m supposed to say!)
bar pervertido!!)


“.............Fu.”
(Who was it!? The one who taught me the wrong way to say it!? That damn perverted bar owner!)


A garota nua que ouviu isso soltou uma pequena risada.
“…………Fu.


Por um instante, ela fez um sorriso brilhante como se estivesse satisfeita com isso, e então—
The naked girl who heard that released a bitter laughter.


“Quanto tempo você pretende ficar em cima de mim, seu idiotaaaaaaaaa!”
For an instant, she made a bright smile as if she was satisfied with it, and then—


Ela gritou furiosa.


“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaah!?
“How long are you planning to ride on top of me, you fooooooool!”


Ao mesmo tempo, havia muitos gritos vindo das meninas por todo o banheiro.


As garotas nuas começaram atirar qualquer coisa que pudessem encontrar em Lux com toda

sua força.


“M-Me desculpaaaaaaaaa!”
“Kyaaaaaaaah!?


Lux tentou escapar em pânico.
At the same time, there were many screams coming from the girls inside of the whole bathroom.


“Como acabou assim!?”
The naked girls started to throw anything they could find at Lux with all their might.


Com os olhos lacrimejando, Lux começou lembrar o que tinha acontecido algumas horas atrás
“I, I’m sooooooooorry!”
com a bolsa que ele carregava em suas mãos.


Lux tried to escape in panic.


===Parte 2===
“H-How did it turn out like this!?”


“Pareeeeeeee!”
With teary eyes, Lux started to recall what had happened several hours ago with the bag he was carrying in his hand.


Seu grito ecoou pelos edifícios.
===Part 2===


A Cidade Fortaleza em forma de cruz formada por um bloco de cinco cidades, “Crossfield”.
“Stoooooooop!”


No primeiro distrito ao qual era localizado o centro desse lugar, havia duas sombras correndo.
The voice he let out from his stomach echoed through the buildings.
Umas das sombras que estava correndo na frente era um gato com listras de tigre e tinha uma
pequena bolsa dentro de sua boca.


A sombra pertencente a um pequeno garoto estava correndo atrás do gato com toda sua

A perseguição começou no terceiro distrito que está localizado a oeste da cidade em forma de

uma grande carga, já tinha corrido uma cidade, e já estava em seu limite em termos de
exaustão.


Mesmo assim, o garoto de cabelos prateados com um colarinho continuou a correr.
The shadow belonging to a small build boy was chasing after the cat with all his might.
A menina da loja de bebida que alegremente permitiu que Lux passasse a noite já que ele não
tinha um lugar para ficar na noite passada.


Quando ele a viu de novo, a pequena bolsa que ela carregava tinha sido roubado por um gato

nas proximidades de repente.


“Ahaha.... Você não precisa se forçar, sabia?”
The boy, who already ran a distance which would normally make you think whether you should take a cargo, had already ran across a single town, and was already at his limit in terms of exhaustion.


Ela fez um sorriso amargo quando Lux decidiu ir atrás do gato, mas—
Even so, the silver haired boy with a choker continued to run.


“Eu definitivamente vou trazer de volta.
The girl from the liquor store who gladly allowed Lux who didn’t have a place to sleep to stay over last night.


Servir e ajudar o povo desse país.
When he saw her again, the small bag that she was carrying had been taken by a nearby cat all of a sudden.


Esta era uma obrigação e objetivo de Lux que é colocado em uma posição especial neste país.
“Ahaha……you know you don’t have to force yourself?”


Mesmo que não fosse o caso, ele não podia permitir que o gato escapasse, desde que era uma

coisa de alguém que lhe tenha ajudado.


Lux levantou seu espírito de novo e subiu a ladeira que ficava na rua principal.
“I will definitely bring that back.


......Oh, se não é o jovem rapaz. Já faz um tempo. Vai ser possível você trabalhar para mim da

estação.......”


“Me desculpe! Estou no meio de algo agora, então volto para te ver mais tarde—”
That is an obligation and aim for Lux who was put in a special position in this country.


Mesmo que um senhor o tenha parado do lado da rua, Lux respondeu educadamente mesmo
Even if that wasn’t the case, he wouldn’t allow the cat to run since it’s a belonging that belongs to someone who had helped him.
estando com pressa.


(Este não é o momento certo!)
Lux raised his spirit once again and sprinted up the slope that was located on the main street.


Mesmo que ele estivesse em pânico de tal forma, ele viu uma senhora com um bom físico de
“……Oh, if this isn’t the young lad. It’s been a while. Will you be able to work at my place next time? I don’t have much manpower to plant some seeds during this season……”
longe dessa vez.


“Ora, se não é o Lux. Você pode me ajudar na cozinha da próxima vez? Já é quase o dia do

aniversário da fundação do Novo Reino Atismata. Você pode fazer alguns pratos adequados
para uma festa, certo?”


“Eu falo com você quando o dia chegar!”
Even though an old man stopped him from the side of the street, Lux replied back politely even though he was in a rush.


Lux pegou um bloco de notas e uma caneta rapidamente da bolsa equipada em seu cinto e
(This isn’t the right time!)
escreveu um memorando.


Ele estava sem sorte por ter mostrado alguma confiança devido ao gato ter diminuído seu

ritmo na ladeira.


“O que, você voltou do reino? Você podia ter vindo ao meu ateliê para me cumprimentar.
“Oh my, its Lux. Can you help out at my kitchen next time? It’s almost the time for the anniversary of the establishment of the New Kingdom of Atismata. You can also make a bit of dishes fitting for a party, right?
Você ainda está no meio do seu treinamento como ferreiro no meu trabalho.”


O trabalhador de aparência severa se virou e disse isso para Lux.
“I’ll come to you when the time comes!”


“Hmm, eu tenho um pouco de tempo livre em cinco dias, então—”
Lux took out a pen and notepad quickly from the bag equipped on his belt and wrote down some memo.


“Ei, Lux. Você pode me ajudar a tomar conta da vaca—”
He was out of luck to have shown some confidence due to the cat slowing down its pace up the slope.


“Você pode ser um parceiro de jogos para a minha filha—”
“What, you came back from the kingdom? You should have come to my atelier to give your greetings to me. You were still in the middle of your training as a blacksmith at my place.”


“Espera um segun...... Eu não posso! Me desculpa, eu não posso fazer tudo isso agora!”
The stern-looking worker turned around and said that to Lux.


Ele estava tentando escrever tudo isso, mas guardou seu bloco de notas e desistiu.
“Umm, I have a bit of free time in five days so—”


Agora não era momento para aceitar um pedido de “trabalho”.
“Hey, Lux. Can you help out at taking care of the cow—”


Sua prioridade era capturar o gato.
“Can you become a play buddy for my daughter—”


Colocando isso em sua mente, Lux correu enquanto colocava suas últimas forças em suas
“Hold on a sec……, I can’t! I’m sorry, I can’t do all of this now!”
pernas.


Uma hora depois. Já estava começando a anoitecer.
He was trying to write all of that down but had to put away his notepad and give up.


“Eu já deveria ter desistido.......”
Now wasn’t the time to be taking requests for his “labour”.


Possivelmente por conta do trabalho que Lux fizera da manhã ao meio-dia, ele estava

simplesmente exausto.


Aparentemente é parte do instinto do organismo perseguir aqueles que fogem deles.
Putting that in his head, Lux sprinted as he put the last bit of energy he had in his legs.


Apesar de respirar violentamente, ele escalou uma parede alta e continuou perseguindo o

gato.


“Hã......? Que lugar é esse?”
“I, I should have given up already……”


Por um instante, Lux entrou em pânico pensando que tinha entrado em uma área militar
Possibly due to the labour work Lux had done from morning to noon, he was simply exhausted.
devido à área e atmosfera espaçosa. Mas deve ser outra coisa nesse primeiro distrito do
centro.


(Então eu seria capaz de me desculpar.)
Apparently, it was a part of an organisms’ instinct to chase after those who ran away from them.


Enquanto ele pensava nisso, o gato subiu em um edifício diferente enquanto carregava a bolsa
Despite breathing violently, he climbed up a tall wall and continued to chase after the cat.
da menina na boca.


“P-Por que você foi por teve que ir por aí.......!?”
“Huh……? Where is this place?”


Lux não teve escolha a não ser pular a parede e subir no outro telhado.
For an instant, Lux panicked thinking that he had entered a military area due to the spacious area and atmosphere. But there should be something else in this first district of the central.


Desde que ele tinha experiencia em reparar telhados muitas vezes como parte de seu
(Then I would be able to come up with an excuse.)
trabalho, ele tinha uma boa noção em como subir com segurança no telhado.


Ele não teria que fazer isso normalmente, mas ele já estava fazendo isso basicamente devido à

obstinação.


“—Certo! Eu finalmente cheguei!”
“W-Why did you have to go over there……!?


Não tinha lugar para fugir, então Lux calmamente fechou a distância entre ele e o gato.
Lux didn’t have a choice but to kick the wall and jump onto the other roof.
Ele então se decidiu e foi atrás do gato.
 
Since he had experience repairing roofs many times as a part of his labour, he had a good grasp of climbing the roofs safely.
 
He wouldn’t have to do this normally, but he was already doing it basically due to obstinacy.
 
“—Alright! I’ve finally arrived!”
 
There was basically no place left to go, so Lux closed the distance between him and the cat slowly.
 
He then became resolved and went for the cat.


“Nyaa!”
“Nyaa!”


Ele obviamente vai perder para o gato em termos de velocidade, mas seu alvo era a bolsa da

menina desde o começo.
 
When Lux grasped onto the shoulder belt of the bag with his fingers, the cat finally let go off the bag it was holding onto.
 
“Hooray!”
 
(I finally retrieved it!)
 
Lux started to smile due to the relief and accomplishment.


Quando Lux agarrou a alça da bolsa com seus dedos, o gato finalmente soltou a bolsa que ele
This might be a small achievement, but this was still an act of goodwill.
estava segurando.


“Consegui!”
(If I report this to the administration, they may help me by lowering the debt I have by a bit.)


(Eu finalmente peguei de volta!)
“……No, this kind of selfishness isn’t right.”


Lux começou sorrir devido ao alívio e realização.
No matter how large a debt Lux had been burdened with by this country, he should simply be happy that he was able to become a help for someone.


Esta pode ser uma pequena conquista, mas ainda é uma boa ação.
“Now then. If I don’t get back soon—”


(Se eu reportar isso para a administração, eles podem me ajudar a diminuir um pouco a dívida

......Não, esse tipo de egoísmo não está certo.”
(Not being able to see the surroundings once I become too focused on things is my bad habit.)


Não importa o quão grande seja a dívida que Lux esteja devendo a este país, ele deveria
As Lux reflected on his own actions, he was about to jump of the roof, but—
simplesmente estar feliz por se tornar alguém que pode ajudar as pessoas.


“Agora então. Se eu não voltar logo—”


De repente, ficou de noite, então o ambiente ficou escuro.
Crack!


(Não ser capaz de ver o ambiente quando eu fico concentrado demais é meu mau hábito.)


Enquanto Lux refletia sobre suas próprias ações, ele estava prestes a pular do telhado, mas—
A nasty sound like that was made.


*CRACK*
“Eh……?”


Um som desagradável foi feito.
The source of the sound came from the single part of the roof Lux was holding onto while he put all of his weight on it.


“Eh.......?
“H-Hey!? Don’t tell me this is—”


O som veio do único lugar do telhado onde Lux estava colocando todo seu peso.
Lux tried to get away from the spot in a hurry.


“E-Ei!? Não me diga que isso é—”
But he was too late.


Lux tentou sair do lugar de pressa.
While the crack was made below his hand while making so much sound, the speed of it breaking increased and then shattered.


Mas era tarde demais.
“Uwaaaaaah!?”


Enquanto a rachadura era feita de baixo da sua mão fazendo muito barulho, a velocidade da

quebra aumentou e depois quebrou.


“Uwaaaaaaaaaaah!?”


Lux caiu junto com a sensação de perder seu peso.
Splaaaaaaaash……!!


Splaaaaaaaaaaaash.....!!


Lux caiu na água depois de um segundo.
Lux fell into the water after a second.


“Uwaaaah! Tosse!........ Hã?”
“Uwaaaah! Cough! ……Huh?”


Aparentemente, havia água embaixo dele.
Apparently there was water under him.


Lux suspirou por um momento por não ter se machucado, mas percebeu a estranheza
Lux became relieved for a moment that he wasn’t injured, but he realised the strangeness right away.
imediatamente.


(Isso é..... Água quente!?)
(This is— hot water?)


Quando ele olhou, seu corpo a partir da cintura pra baixo estava coberto por água quente.
When he looked, his body from his hips downward was covered by hot water.


Do outro lado do vapor branco, ele pôde ver um pilar de mármore e parede de aparência cara,
On the other side of the white steam, he was able to see an expensive looking marble pillar and wall due to the faint lamp that made the surroundings look orange.
devido a lâmpada fraca, o ambiente parecia laranja.


“Não me diga que este lugar é—”
“Don’t tell me this place is—”


Lux percebeu quando ele estava tentando entender a situação.
Lux realised it the moment he was trying to grasp hold of the situation.


Os pedaços do telhado de onde ele caiu.
The fragments of the roof he fell from.


Esses fragmentos caíram, e bem em cima da garota que estava por perto.
Those fragments fell, and even from above the small build girl who was nearby—.


“Cuidado!”
“Look out!”


Lux, reflexivamente saltou em direção aos pedaços para afastá-los e caiu em cima dela.
Lux jumped towards her by reflex to push her away and jumped on her.

===Part 3===


“Quanto tempo você planeja ficar em cima de mim, seu idiotaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“How long are you planning to ride on top of me, you fooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!”


—E a consciência de Lux volta para o presente.
—And Lux’s consciousness connected to the present.


“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!


Muitos gritos ecoaram por todo o banheiro.
Several loud screams echoed throughout the bath.


“M-Me desculpaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”
“I-I’m sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorry!”


Banheira, cadeira, sabonete. Várias coisas eram jogadas, e Lux recuou para o local de lavagem.
Bath tub, chair, soap. Various things were thrown, and Lux retreated towards the washing place.


(O que eu faço? Pensar que eu cairia num grande banheiro público feminino....!?)
(What do I do? To think that I would fall into the women’s bath of the large public bath…!?)


Começando a se desesperar, Lux confirmou que havia uma bolsa que ficou um pouco molhada
Starting to despair so, Lux confirmed that there was still a girl’s pochette, which got a little wet with hot water, in his hand.
de água quente em sua mão.


“M-Me desculpa. E-Eu caí porque o telhado quebrou. Eu só queria pegar isso de volta—”
“I-I’m sorry. I-I fell here because the roof broke; I just wanted to get this back––”


Enquanto virava o rosto para longe das meninas nuas, Lux pendurou a bolsa que ele tinha em

suas mãos.


Em seguida, a boca da bolsa se abriu e duas peças de roupas caíram.
Then, the pochette’s mouth opened and two pieces of clothes fell flutteringly.


“Hã...?”
“Huh…?”


Eram duas peças de roupas íntimas brancas, da parte de cima e de baixo.
It was two pieces of underwear white above and below.


A dona das roupas íntimas era certamente uma mulher, mas—
The owner of the underwear was certainly a woman, but––.


“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Um ladrão de roupas íntimas! Além de ser espião, é um ladrão
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Underwear thief! On top of being a peeping tom, he’s an underwear thief!”
de roupas íntimas!”


“Os guardas! Chamem os guardas rapidamente!”
“The guards! Call the guards quickly!”


“Peguem suas espadas! A legítima defesa está aprovada a partir de agora!”
<!--19-->
“Fetch your swords! Legitimate self-defense is approved as of now!”


“P-Por favor, esperem um minuto! Isso não é meu, hmm... Pertence a uma garota que passou
“P-Please wait a minute! This isn’t mine, um –– it belongs to a girl who happened to pass by––!?”
por um—!?”


Enquanto tentava desesperadamente explicar, Lux percebeu.
As he desperately tried to explain, Lux noticed.


(Droga! Nenhum tipo de desculpa vai funcionar!?)
(Damn! Any kind of excuse won’t work!?)


“Como dizer... Hum... Desculpe!”
“How to put it, um, sorry!”


Quando Lux saltou às pressas para fora do banheiro, ele passou pelo vestiário e começou a

correr.


Ele teve a sensação de que havia garotas que estavam tirando suas roupas ali também, mas ele
He had the feeling that there were girls who were taking off their clothes also there, but he decided to pretend that he saw nothing.
decidiu fingir que não viu nada.


“C-Como acabou desse jeito....!?”
“H-How did it turn out like this…!?”


“Peguem ele! Não o deixem escapar!”
“Catch him! Don’t let him escape!”


Lux, que de alguma forma conseguiu escapar da zona de perigo, enquanto era perseguido por

garotas que usavam suas roupas, correu com toda sua energia para um edifício desconhecido.


Um tapete vermelho de alta qualidade estava estendido no chão.
A red carpet of high quality was spread out on the floor.


Havia uma grande sala de jantar como um salão de festas, uma sala de jogos e inúmeros
There was a large dining room like a party hall, as well as a playroom and countless guest rooms.
quartos de hóspedes.


Pinturas e móveis refinados foram colocados aqui e ali.
Refined paintings and furnishings were put here and there.


“Hã? Esse prédio é....”
“Huh? This building is––”


A princípio, ele pensou havia caído em um hotel de alta classe com um grande banheiro, mas
At first, he thought that he fell into a high-class hotel with a large bathroom, but it was too wide for it.
era muito grande para isso.


Não era a Corte Imperial da Capital, por que havia um prédio tão grande nessa Cidade
<!--20-->
Fortaleza...?
It was not the Imperial Court of the Capital, why was there such a building in this Fort city––?


“Ah! Ali está ele! O pervertido que tocou meu peito está aqui! Me tragam uma lança, rápido!”
“Ah! He’s there! The pervert who touched my chest is here! Bring me a spear quickly!”


Enquanto ele pensava assim, as garotas que o encontraram na frente, de repente gritaram.
When he was thinking so, the girls who ran into him in the front suddenly screamed.


“Espe...!? Como virou algo tão grande!?”
“Wai…!? How did it become something this big!?”


Não... Desde que ele estava sendo perseguindo enquanto fugia, se ele quisesse provar sua
No… since he was chased as he ran away, if he wanted to prove his innocence, he should just behave himself, but –– he instinctively ran away.
inocência, ele devia se entregar, mas... Ele institivamente fugiu.


Como querer correr atrás de alguém que foge, querer fugir quando está sendo perseguindo
Like wanting to chase when someone runs away, wanting to run away when being chased may also be the instinct of a creature.
também pode ser o instinto de uma criatura.


Lux fugia enquanto pensava em algo trivial no canto da sua cabeça.
Lux ran while thinking such a trivial thing in the corner of his head.


“J-Já não tem mais esperança! Eu vou continuar com isso...!”
“I-It's already hopeless! I’ll just go through with it––”


Por enquanto, ele teve que fugir até o alvoroço se acalmar.
For now, he had to run away until the uproar settled down.


Quando ele chegou na entrada desse grande edifício enquanto pensava assim—
When he arrived at the entrance of this big building while thinking so,


“Eh!?”
“Eh––!?”


Lux parou, e mais uma vez duvidou de seus olhos.
Lux stopped, and once again doubted his own eyes.


Sob as escadas da colunata onde ele estava, havia um grande espaço decorado com um lustre
Under the stairs of the colonnade where he stood, there was a large space decorated with a chandelier of candles.
de velas.


Três garotas armadas com espadas estavam ali.
Three girls armed with swords were standing there.


“Regulamento da Academia Militar Real, artigo 18.”
“Royal Military Academy Regulations, Article 18.”


Uma voz calma que era de uma daquelas três garotas. Ela foi emitida pela garota de cabelos

azuis com um rosto digno.
A quiet voice which was that of one of those three girls. It was emitted by the blue-haired girl with a dignified face.


As figuras e a atmosfera das três meninas eram completamente diferentes.
The three girls’ figures and atmospheres were completely different.


No entanto, somente o uniforme e o cinto de espada que elas usavam eram iguais.
However, only the uniform and the sword belt which they wore were alike.


“Independentemente de estar dentro ou fora da academia, é proibido usar um Sword Device
“Regardless of whether inside or outside of the academy, it is forbidden to draw out a sword device without the permission of a superior officer. However, only in the case of flagrant delict’s confirmation or when danger befalls oneself is one allowed to draw sword and use a Drag-Ride.”
sem a permissão de um oficial superior. No entanto, somente no caso de confirmação de
delito flagrante ou perigo iminente, é permitido sacar uma espada e usar um Drag-Ride.”


Com uma voz bem projetada na grande entrada, a garota de cabelos azuis sorriu.
With a well-projected voice in the large entrance, the blue-haired girl smiled.


Lux que ouviu isso, esqueceu de dar uma explicação para as garotas e entrou em confusão.
Lux who heard it forgot to even give an explanation to the girls and was driven into confusion.


“...Eh!?
''…Eh!?''


(Agora mesmo, o que ela disse?)
''Just now, what did she say?''


(Sword Device e.... Drag-Ride?)
''Sword device and –– Drag-Ride?''


(Porque essas palavras saíram dessas meninas!?)
''Why did these names come out from such girls––?''


“Hmph. Para um pervertido, você é o de melhor aparência até agora. Você é bonito o
“Hmph. For a pervert, you are the one with the best looks so far. You’re good looking enough to even be added as a candidate for my marriage meeting.”
suficiente para ser candidato para o meu casamento.”


“Hm, desculpe. Agora pouco, o que você...?”
“Um, sorry. Just a moment ago, what did you––?”


Lux perguntou para a garota deslumbrante de cabelos azuis que parecia ser a líder.
To the dazzlingly beautiful blue-haired girl who seemed to have the leader status, Lux asked.


“Mas, é lamentável. Nenhum pervertido que adentrou neste dormitório feminino conseguiu
“But, it’s regrettable. There has been no pervert who had crept into this women’s dormitory and succeeded in escaping after being found by us –– the Triad.”
escapar de nós — a Tríade.”


<!--22-->
“Eh!?”
“Eh!?”


(Dormitório feminino? Do que ela está falando?)
''Women’s dormitory? What is she talking about?''


“Vamos lá. Tillfur! Noct!”
“Let’s do it. Tillfarr! Nokuto!”


“OK!”
“OK!”


“Yes, minha senhorita. Mas, por favor, tenha cuidado. Shalice.”
“Yes, my lord. But, just in case, please be careful. Sharis.”


A garota de cabelos azuis chamada Shalice e as meninas paradas em ambos os lados.
The blue-haired girl called Sharis and the two girls who were standing still on both her sides.


Essas três garotas simultaneamente desembainharam suas espadas.
These three girls simultaneously unsheathed their swords.


Com uma lâmina cinza escura, uma espada sobre a qual pairava uma linha prateada brilhante –
With a dark gray blade, a sword on which a shining silver line floated –– sword devices.
Sword Devices.


“Impossível!?”
“No way!?”


Quando Lux arregalou os olhos de surpresa, ele ouviu a voz de Shalice.
When Lux opened his eyes wide in surprise, he heard Sharis’ voice.


“—Venha adiante, símbolo de poder digno do Elmo do Dragão Alado. Obedeça a minha espada
“––Come forth, Wing Dragon of the crest which is the symbol of power. Fly in accordance with my sword, <Wyvern>!”
e voe! <Wyvern>!”


Ao mesmo tempo, a ponta da espada que Shalice usava brilhou e mudou.
At the same time, the space at the tip of the sword which Sharis swung shook and warped.


O que se reunia ali em alta velocidade eram partículas de luz.
What gathered there at high speed were grains (particles?) of light.


Incontáveis partículas de luz se juntaram e formaram uma única entidade.
Countless pale lights tinged with undulations formed one single entity.

O que apareceu era um dragão mecânico duas vezes maior que um humano.
What appeared was a mechanical dragon twice as big as a human.

The wet luster was abominably beautiful like an embezzled famous sword.

Drag-Rides.

guerra, o qual fora cultivado centenas de anos no passado, em um instante.


Humanos que usavam os Drag-Rides e podiam dominá-los eram chamados de Drag-Knights.
Humans who wore those Drag-Rides and could master them were called Drag-Knights.
Mas, Drag-Rides eram escassos e muito caros, então basicamente somente Cavaleiros do
Reino e pessoas influentes os possuíam.


(Por que essas garotas os possuem?)
But, Drag-Rides were scarce and very expensive and only knights of the Kingdom and some influential people could basically possess them.
 
''Why do these girls possess them––''


“Connection On.”
“Connection On.”


Shalice murmurou, durante a oportunidade quando Lux ficou perplexo.
Sharis muttered, during the opportunity when Lux was dumbfounded.


A máquina azul aerodinâmica se abriu por dentro, e foi desdobrada em várias partes.
The blue streamlined machine opened from within, and was unfolded into innumerable parts.
As partes foram em direção aos dois braços de Shalice, ambas as pernas, tronco e cabeça,
conectados em alta velocidade — estava equipada.

“Oh my, did you creep in here without even knowing where this is? But, it’s useless even if you are befuddled, Pervert-kun. Give up and make a Dogeza<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogeza </ref> there. If you do so, I can get it over with about ten whiplashes.”


“Yes, meu senhor. De toda forma, você será punido.”
“Uh-huh. Peeping is a crime.”


Com as palavras de Shalice, que era a líder, a garota animada, Tillfur e a garota de uma
“Yes, my Lord. Either way, you will be punished.

Essas duas garotas também estavam usando outros tipos de Drag-Ride em seus corpos e

tomaram posição de combate também.


...Ah, espera um minuto!?”
These two girls were also wearing other kinds of Drag-Rides on their bodies and took a stance of combat as well.


(Não é uma situação muito perigosa?)
“…Ah, wait a minute!?


(Dentro de um prédio como esse... Não, em primeiro lugar, isso não é um equipamento para

se usar contra um oponente de carne e osso!!)
 
Within a building like this –– no, in the first place, it wasn’t equipment to use against a flesh-and-blood opponent!


“Haa!”
“Haa!”


Shalice que usava um <Wyvern> em seu corpo, foi com tudo para cima.
Sharis who wore <Wyvern> on her body kicked the floor and flew.


Da armadura de ambas as asas das pernas e da costa, ela pulverizou o ar usando luz.
From the armor of both wings on the legs and back, she sprayed out wind wearing light.
Com um único salto da entrada do prédio, ela atacou Lux que estava no teto aberto do
segundo andar.


Ela balançou seu braço coberto de armadura de metal e de repente atacou-o como se ela o

usasse como uma espada.


“Uwaaaaaaaaaaah!?”
She greatly swung the arm covered with metal armor and suddenly struck with it as she used it like a sword.


Lux abruptamente virou-se para o lado e desviou.
“Uwaaaaaaaah!?”
 
Lux abruptly turned sideways and dodged it.

Embora ele fosse capaz de desviar por um fio de cabelo, o corrimão de madeira que estava ali
<!--26-->
foi despedaçado.
Though he was able to evade it by a hairbreadth, the wooden handrail which was over there was smashed to pieces.
 
“Oops! Did I hold back the speed too much?”
 
“No! You used too much power! I’d have died though!?”
 
While putting a riposte to the surprised Sharis, Lux went down the stairs as he rolled over.


“Opa! Será que eu segurei muito a velocidade?”
Then, the Drag-Ride for land battles which was at the entrance up to now. Tillfarr who equipped a jade green Drag-Ride –– <Wyrm> immediately blocked his way.


“Não! Você usa muita força! Eu podia ter morrido, sabia!?
“Hyaffuuuuh. Uh oh, test, test<ref>says often when one makes a test of sound of a mike</ref>. Notification to Pervert-san there. As of now, your crime is light.


Enquanto respondia para a Shalice surpresa, Lux desceu a escada enquanto escapava.

“É ruim”, Lux pensou enquanto se reposicionava.
The limbs covered with thick armors possessed a high mobility due to multiple variables frames and could let out power likely to explode at any time as well.

Por isso o Drag-Ride genérico de Shalice <Wyvern> ainda era bom, mas era perigoso aqui.

However––,


“Nesse ritmo, eu preferiria ser morto!?

No entanto—
Together with the armor worn on her body, she made a side fall down centering on the handrail of the stairs and landed.<!-- 階段の手すりを軸に側転し-->


“W-Wow! Eu não vou deixar você passar por aqui!”
A Drag-Ride was not just a mere heavy and hard armor.


Com um sorriso confiante no rosto, Tillfur imediatamente ficou no caminho.

“Haaaah!”
“Kuh…!?


O braço direito de Tillfur usando essa armadura foi balançado pra baixo.

...Hã?”
Tillfarr wearing <Wyrm> looked at the floor where her fist was driven in.


Tillfur vestindo seu <Wyrm> olhou para o chão onde seu punho atingiu.
He had disappeared.  


Desapareceu.

surpreendido.
“Under the floor! Tillfarr!”


“Debaixo do chão! Tillfur!
“Eh…?


“Eh...?”
Sharis’ dignified voice overhead reached Lux who ran under the floor.


A voz digna de Shalice chegou a Lux, que correu para baixo do chão.
The blow which Tillfarr let out as intimidation.
O golpe que Tillfur usou como intimidação.


Ele passou pelo buraco que ela fez, escapou por baixo do chão e estava correndo.
He went through the hole which it made, escaped under the floor and was running.


“Hmmm...”
“Mmm…”


Quando Tillfur, que foi chamada, olhou para o buraco com um rosto descontente—
When Tillfarr who was pointed out looked into the hole of the floor with a discontented face,


“Não o persiga, Tillfur.”
“Don’t chase him, Tillfarr.”


A voz calma de Shalice parou Tillfur.
Sharis’ calm voice stopped Tillfarr.


“Não importa o quão efetiva a manobrabilidade do <Wyrm> seja, a parte inferior do chão aqui
“No matter how effective <Wyrm>’s maneuverability is, the bottom of the floor here is too narrow. If you destroy the dormitory any further, it’ll be a written apology. I won’t chase him anymore, either.”

Eu não vou perseguir ele mais também.”


“Mas, mas! Se o deixarmos escapar assim...”
“But, but! If we let him escape like this––”


“Está tudo bem. A Noct já começou se mover. Ela não vai deixá-lo escapar.”
“It’s all right. Nokuto has already moved. She won’t let him escape.”


Enquanto acalmava Tillfur, Shalice olhou aos arredores.
While calming Tillfarr, Sharis let her gaze wander about at the surroundings.


“Mas qual o significado disso? Ele conseguiu aguentar sem nenhum equipamento... Esses
“But, what is the meaning of this? He managed to hold out without equipment… Those movements. It was as if he saw through the special characteristics of our Drag-Rides in an instant––”

para o lado.


“Hmm. O que é isso? Shalice.
<!--29-->
“Hmm? What is it, Sharis?


“Cabelo prateado e colarinho preto. Não... Não me diga que ele é—”
“Silver hair and a black collar. No… don’t tell me that boy is––”


Com um tom sério, ela apenas tossiu.
With a serious tone, she just coughed so.


===Parte 4===
===Part 4===


“Uwaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Uwaaaaaaaah!”


Fugindo para a parte de fora do prédio por baixo do chão, Lux correu pela estrada do chão.
Escaping to the outside of the building from under the floor, Lux dashed on the road of the ground.
O <Wyvern> de Shalice e o <Wyrm> de Tillfur.


Também o momento em que ele escapou de dois Drag-Rides genéricos.
The <Wyvern> of Sharis and the <Wyrm> of Tillfarr.


A terceira pessoa — a garota chamada Noct veio atrás de Lux.
Also the moment when he escaped from the two general-purpose type Drag-Rides.


Seu Drag-Ride laranja, era um Drag-Ride genérico chamado <Drake>.

“Pare. Se você não parar, eu vou atirar. Se você parar, eu vou atirar gentilmente.

Using it special characteristic –– visually observing Lux even within the dark by means of the goggles which were worn on her head, Nokuto accurately ran after him.


Lux, que corria no vasto lugar em direção ao portão principal, Noct chamou-o enquanto o

Desnecessário dizer que Noct vestida com <Drake>, estava acima da velocidade.
Towards Lux who ran within the vast site towards the main gate, Nokuto called out to him while chasing after him.


No entanto, Lux correu enquanto avançava pelo mato com muitas árvores e enfraqueceu seu

momento de perseguição.


“Gentilmente? O que você quer dizer!?”
However, Lux ran as he wove his way through the bush with many trees and weakened her momentum of chase.


Lux respondeu somente com a voz sem olhar para trás.
“Kindly? What do you mean!?”


“Yes. Eu ficaria grata se você não morresse. Nesse sentido.”
Lux answered only with his voice without looking back.


“Era apenas o problema dos sentimentos!?
“Yes. It'd be great if you didn't die. In that sense.


“Yes. Eu farei isso para que você sofra o mínimo possível. Nesse sentido.
“It was only a matter of feelings!?


“Você tem a atmosfera ‘por mais que eu te mate, não será o suficiente’!?
“Yes. And, I will do so that you won’t suffer as much as possible. In that sense.


(Como esperado, eu não consigo pará-la.)
“You have the atmosphere of ‘however much I kill you, it won’t be enough’!?”<ref>何でもう殺してもやむなしって空気なの!? Please also TLC this sentence </ref>


(Eu vou morrer se eu parar.)
''As expected, I can’t stop her.''


E, por precaução, se sua identidade fosse exposta, se tornaria algo terrível.
''I will be killed if I stop.''


“Yes. Então, não pode ser evitado.
And just in case, if his identity was exposed, it would become something terrible––.


Ao mesmo tempo em que ela murmurou algo tão perigoso, Noct armou um Breath Gun.
“Yes. ––Then, it can’t be helped.


Era um rifle de tiro rápido, que deixou a energia do Drag-Ride convergir e começou atirar.
At the same time she leaked such a dangerous mutter, Nokuto set up a Breath Gun.


Era um armamento de baixo poder contra um Drag-Knight, mas se fosse recebido com um

corpo humano, seria uma vítima fácil.


“Kuh...!”
<!--31-->
It was an armament of low power against a Drag-Knight, but if received with a human body, one would easily fall victim.


Lux, que pressentiu que o gatilho ia ser puxado em suas costas, pulou na diagonal para a frente
“Kuh…!”
com toda sua força.


De dentro da escuridão, a fim de esconder sua figura, até o portão principal iluminado.
Lux, who sensed the presence where the trigger was pulled on his back, jumped diagonally forward with all his strength.


Lá havia uma fogueira para iluminar o caminho que levava ao prédio.
From within the darkness in order to conceal his figure, to the way to the main gate brightly illuminated.


....!?”
There –– there was a bonfire to illuminate the passage up to the building.


No momento seguinte, Noct tampou as lentes da armadura com as mãos.
“…!?”


Como a fogueira em si era usada como obstáculo, era muito brilhante para as lentes que

de Noct.


Ela balançou o braço blindado às pressas e sacudiu a lenha.
It was firewood with fire that was from the bonfire. Lux who gripped one of it, threw it aiming at Nokuto’s rear.


(Com um Drag-Knight como oponente, ataques comuns não funcionariam; jogar uma cortina
“Kuh…”
de fumaça seria melhor.)


Mas, naquela oportunidade em que Noct parou de repente, Lux chegou no caminho perto do

Exatamente naquele momento, uma garota vestindo o mesmo uniforme de Noct e companhia,

caminhava enquanto se dirigia lentamente para o dormitório feminino.
With a Drag-Knight as an opponent, ordinary attacks would not work; the throwing of a smoke screen would be better<ref>目眩ましの投擲, TLC here again, please </ref>.


Como havia o risco de envolver a garota, ela não podia mais atirar usando a Breath Gun.
But, at that opportunity where Nokuto suddenly stopped, Lux reached up to the way near the main gate.
Enquanto pensava assim no canto da sua cabeça, Noct ficou surpresa.


“Por quê? Não pode ser...”
Exactly at that time, a girl wearing the same uniform as Nokuto and company walked as she slowly headed to the women’s dormitory from the main gate.


Não importa se elas estavam pegando leve com ele, para conseguir escapar contra três Drag-
Since there was danger of involving the girl, she could no longer shoot with the Breath Gun.
Knights sem equipamento...


“Quem é ele? Aquele garoto...”
While thinking so in the corner of her head, Nokuto was astonished.


“Ok, com isso, de alguma forma...”
“Why? It can’t be…”


Lux olhou para atrás e verificou que Noct tinha abaixado a arma.
No matter how much they were going easy on him, to succeed in escaping against three Drag-Knights without equipment––.


Não seria sensato escapar dessa forma.
“Who is he? That boy––”


(Quando o outro lado se acalmar, vou me explicar adequadamente e me desculpar.)
“Ok, with this, I somehow––”


............”
Lux looked back behind and checked that Nokuto lowered her gun.


Enquanto pensava assim, ele notou diante dos seus olhos, a garota estava lá.
It would not be wise to escape as is though.


A respiração de Lux, que estava fugindo com toda sua força, parou por um instante.
When the other side settled down, he would properly explain himself and apologize.


Era uma linda garota.
“––––”


Ela tinha um corpo magro e bem proporcionado, feições nobres e olhos frios.
When he thought so, as he noticed before his eyes, the girl was there.


Assim como uma obra de arte perfeita, a garota, não mostrando tensão nem folga, estava

diante de Lux.


“Você não precisa persegui-lo. Desde que eu vou detê-lo.
<!--33-->
It was a beautiful girl.


“Krulcifer-san....”
She had a slender and well-proportioned body, noble features and cold eyes.


A garota na frente levantou levemente a mão direita e chamou Noct por trás.
Just like a perfect work of art, the girl, showing neither strain nor slack, was standing before Lux.


Para seus movimentos que não tiveram tanta hesitação, Lux parou instintivamente.
“You do not need to chase him. Since I will stop him.”


“Haa, Haa... Hmm... Com licença. Eu sou, errr—”
“Krulcifer-san…”


De trás do prédio, gritos como “pervertido!” ou “ladrão de roupa íntima!” podiam ser ouvidos
The girl in front of him lightly raised her right hand and called out to Nokuto behind.
baixo.


“Sim, eu sei.
To her movements which had not that much hesitation, Lux instinctively stopped.


Olhando para Lux, que rapidamente tentou explicar, a garota sorriu.
“Haa, Haa… Um… Excuse me. I’m, errr––”


“Que espião, pervertido e ladrão de roupa íntima bastante bonito, hein. Ele ainda é criança.”
From the building behind, screams such as “Pervert!” or “Underwear thief!” could be heard.


“Eh...!?... N-Não.... Eu—”
“Yes, I know.


Enquanto tremia, Lux ficou um pouco irritado.
Looking at Lux who hurriedly tried to explain, the girl smiled.


Certamente a garota na frente dele tem uma atmosfera adulta, mas ela deve ter a mesma
“What a fairly pretty peeping tom, pervert and underwear thief, eh. He’s still a child.
idade que ele.


E ainda—
“Eh…!? …N-No… I––”


“...Bom, pode não parecer, mas tenho 17 anos. Bem, muitas vezes me dizem que meu rosto
While shaking, Lux was, just a little, irritated.
parece infantil, mas...


Esquecido de que ele estava em uma situação em que estava encurralado, Lux refutou.
Certainly the girl in front of him had a grown-up atmosphere, but she should be about the same age as him.


A garota bonita de repente mostrou uma expressão triste.
And yet––.


“...É assim mesmo. Mas eu sinto muito. Eu não gosto, mas mesmo com uma criança como
“…I may not look like this, but I’m 17 years old. Well, I’m often told that my face looks childish, but––”
oponente, não posso ignorar um infrator.”


(C-Criança, criança, ela não se importa com o que lhe dizem...!?)
<!--34-->
Forgetting that he was in a situation where he was cornered, Lux rebutted.


Em uma parte, totalmente não relacionada com esse alvoroço, Lux se decidiu interiormente.
The fairylike girl suddenly showed a sad expression.
Ele entendeu que, ele que de repente caiu no grande banheiro feminino e não conseguiu dar
desculpas, estava totalmente errado.


Mas, seja como for, havia o problema do orgulho.
“…Is that so. But, I’m sorry. I don’t like it, but even with a child as an opponent, I can’t overlook an offender.


Mesmo que ele não gostasse disso, ele pretendia adquirir até treinamento de combate corpo-
(C-Child, child, doesn’t she care about what someone told her…!?)
a-corpo como tal.


Nesse caso—
In a part totally unrelated to this turmoil, Lux inwardly decided further.


(Vou mostrar a ela o quanto essa ‘criança’ pode fazer como tal.)
He understood that he, who suddenly plunged into the large public bath and could not make any excuse, was totally in the wrong.


Obviamente, ele não pretendia atacá-la ou usar ataques como intimidação desde o início.
But, be that as it may, there was the problem of pride.


Ele a esquivaria e escaparia para fora com apenas um mero trabalho de pés.
Even though he might not like this, he intended to pile up (acquire) even the training of hand-to-hand combat as such.


...Haa!”
In that case––.


Com tal grito, Lux começou a luta.
''I will show her how much even that ‘child’ can do as such.''


Para desviar da garota à sua frente, ele fez uma finta para a esquerda, virou-se e foi para a
Of course, he did not intend to attack her or even use attacks as intimidation from the start.
direita.


A garota não conseguiu reagir. Ele a ultrapassou.
He would dodge her and escape outside with just mere footwork.
 
“…Haa!”
 
With such a scream, Lux began the bout.
 
In order to dodge the girl in front of him, he made a feint to the left, turned and went to the right.
 
The girl could not react. He overtook her.


[[File:SaijakuBahamut v1 035.jpg|thumb]]
[[File:SaijakuBahamut v1 035.jpg|thumb]]


No momento em que Lux acreditava assim...
The moment when Lux believed so––,


“....Você é ingênuo, hein.”
“––You’re naive, eh.”


Ao mesmo tempo em que ouviu a voz da garota chamada Krulcifer, o mundo virou de cabeça

pra baixo.


“Eh...!?”
“Eh––!?”


Após questão de tempo, um choque percorreu seu corpo.
After the question of the moment, a shock ran throughout his body.


(O que diabos—)
''What on earth––''


“Bem, então, deixo o resto para vocês. Eu vou tomar banho. Não existe mais nenhum espião,
“Well then, I leave the rest to you. I’m going to the bath. There are no more peeping toms, are there?”

Logo após ouvir sua voz indiferente, a visão de Lux apagou.
Soon after having heard her indifferent voice, Lux’s field of vision turned black.

Episode 1 – The Intruder at Midnight[edit]

Part 1[edit]

There was the colour of skin.

A white steam that covered all sight.

On the other side of the steam, there was a wall and a marble pillar that was visible due to being lit by a lamp.

And the feeling of warm water that wet his cotton trousers.

No matter how you thought about it, this was a bathroom.

“……U-Umm?”

(How did this happen again……?)

That question was going through Lux’s mind.

“……!?”

Lux looked down while he tried not to look at the naked girls that were standing there shocked on the other side of the steam.

“…………Fu.”

Underneath Lux who was inside the hot water with his clothes on was a girl who made a laugh.

Unlike her slim body, there was a mature smile on her expression.

Her smooth white skin turned red due to being inside the bath where her cheeks also became red.

(She’s cute.)

He could have said that if he was looking at her from the side, but Lux not only couldn’t speak, but also couldn’t move an inch due to the dangerous feeling and the steam coming out from the girl.

“……Hey, pervert. Do you have anything left to say before dying?”

Scary words came out from her lovely face where she had forcefully made a smile.

Well, it wouldn’t be weird for her to be angry.

That’s because— he could see her.

Inside the spacious bathroom, the towel that was wrapped around her body fell and her fresh looking naked body became visible.

Her cute looking breasts that were shivering while hitting back the hot water.

Her collarbone that rose above the hot water and the tight curve on her hips.

And also, even places below her silky stomach were—.

“…………”

His fate might be decided with his next words.

Lux started to choose his words carefully with his panicked head.

(I, I should praise her first……!)

In the past, when he did chores while working as a bar waiter, he was taught the technique of how to praise a girl.

Before he could come up with something, his honest opinion came out from his mouth.

“……Hmm, the thing is. You are cute. Your whole package itself is like that of a child……no, even though you seem young, you have quite the chest—and it’s quite tempting. ……Wait, what the!?”

(I’m dead.)

(What on earth am I saying! That’s not what I’m supposed to say!)

(Who was it!? The one who taught me the wrong way to say it!? That damn perverted bar owner!)

“…………Fu.”

The naked girl who heard that released a bitter laughter.

For an instant, she made a bright smile as if she was satisfied with it, and then—


“How long are you planning to ride on top of me, you fooooooool!”


She made an angry voice.

“Kyaaaaaaaah!?”

At the same time, there were many screams coming from the girls inside of the whole bathroom.

The naked girls started to throw anything they could find at Lux with all their might.

“I, I’m sooooooooorry!”

Lux tried to escape in panic.

“H-How did it turn out like this!?”

With teary eyes, Lux started to recall what had happened several hours ago with the bag he was carrying in his hand.

Part 2[edit]

“Stoooooooop!”

The voice he let out from his stomach echoed through the buildings.

The cross-shaped fortress town made from the blocks of five towns, “Crossfield”.

In the first district, which was located at the centre of such place, there were two shadows that were sprinting.

One of the shadows that was running ahead was a cat with tiger stripes and it had a small bag within its mouth.

The shadow belonging to a small build boy was chasing after the cat with all his might.

The sprint started from the third district that is located to the west of the town shaped in a cross.

The boy, who already ran a distance which would normally make you think whether you should take a cargo, had already ran across a single town, and was already at his limit in terms of exhaustion.

Even so, the silver haired boy with a choker continued to run.

The girl from the liquor store who gladly allowed Lux who didn’t have a place to sleep to stay over last night.

When he saw her again, the small bag that she was carrying had been taken by a nearby cat all of a sudden.

“Ahaha……you know you don’t have to force yourself?”

She put on a bitter smile when Lux was about to go after the cat, but—.

“I will definitely bring that back.”

To serve and to help the people of this country.

That is an obligation and aim for Lux who was put in a special position in this country.

Even if that wasn’t the case, he wouldn’t allow the cat to run since it’s a belonging that belongs to someone who had helped him.

Lux raised his spirit once again and sprinted up the slope that was located on the main street.

“……Oh, if this isn’t the young lad. It’s been a while. Will you be able to work at my place next time? I don’t have much manpower to plant some seeds during this season……”

“I’m sorry! I’m in a middle of something, so I’ll get back to you next time—”

Even though an old man stopped him from the side of the street, Lux replied back politely even though he was in a rush.

(This isn’t the right time!)

Even though he was panicking in such a way, he saw an old woman with a good physique far away this time.

“Oh my, its Lux. Can you help out at my kitchen next time? It’s almost the time for the anniversary of the establishment of the New Kingdom of Atismata. You can also make a bit of dishes fitting for a party, right?”

“I’ll come to you when the time comes!”

Lux took out a pen and notepad quickly from the bag equipped on his belt and wrote down some memo.

He was out of luck to have shown some confidence due to the cat slowing down its pace up the slope.

“What, you came back from the kingdom? You should have come to my atelier to give your greetings to me. You were still in the middle of your training as a blacksmith at my place.”

The stern-looking worker turned around and said that to Lux.

“Umm, I have a bit of free time in five days so—”

“Hey, Lux. Can you help out at taking care of the cow—”

“Can you become a play buddy for my daughter—”

“Hold on a sec……, I can’t! I’m sorry, I can’t do all of this now!”

He was trying to write all of that down but had to put away his notepad and give up.

Now wasn’t the time to be taking requests for his “labour”.

His first priority was to capture the cat.

Putting that in his head, Lux sprinted as he put the last bit of energy he had in his legs.

One hour later. About the time when it became dusk.

“I, I should have given up already……”

Possibly due to the labour work Lux had done from morning to noon, he was simply exhausted.

Apparently, it was a part of an organisms’ instinct to chase after those who ran away from them.

Despite breathing violently, he climbed up a tall wall and continued to chase after the cat.

“Huh……? Where is this place?”

For an instant, Lux panicked thinking that he had entered a military area due to the spacious area and atmosphere. But there should be something else in this first district of the central.

(Then I would be able to come up with an excuse.)

As he thought that, the cat climbed onto a different building while it carried the girl’s bag in its mouth.

“W-Why did you have to go over there……!?”

Lux didn’t have a choice but to kick the wall and jump onto the other roof.

Since he had experience repairing roofs many times as a part of his labour, he had a good grasp of climbing the roofs safely.

He wouldn’t have to do this normally, but he was already doing it basically due to obstinacy.

“—Alright! I’ve finally arrived!”

There was basically no place left to go, so Lux closed the distance between him and the cat slowly.

He then became resolved and went for the cat.

“Nyaa!”

He will obviously lose to the cat in terms of speed, but his target was the girl’s bag from the beginning.

When Lux grasped onto the shoulder belt of the bag with his fingers, the cat finally let go off the bag it was holding onto.

“Hooray!”

(I finally retrieved it!)

Lux started to smile due to the relief and accomplishment.

This might be a small achievement, but this was still an act of goodwill.

(If I report this to the administration, they may help me by lowering the debt I have by a bit.)

“……No, this kind of selfishness isn’t right.”

No matter how large a debt Lux had been burdened with by this country, he should simply be happy that he was able to become a help for someone.

“Now then. If I don’t get back soon—”

It had completely become dusk all of a sudden, so the surroundings had become dark.

(Not being able to see the surroundings once I become too focused on things is my bad habit.)

As Lux reflected on his own actions, he was about to jump of the roof, but—


Crack!


A nasty sound like that was made.

“Eh……?”

The source of the sound came from the single part of the roof Lux was holding onto while he put all of his weight on it.

“H-Hey!? Don’t tell me this is—”

Lux tried to get away from the spot in a hurry.

But he was too late.

While the crack was made below his hand while making so much sound, the speed of it breaking increased and then shattered.

“Uwaaaaaah!?”

Lux fell along with the sensation of losing his sense of weight.


Splaaaaaaaash……!!


Lux fell into the water after a second.

“Uwaaaah! Cough! ……Huh?”

Apparently there was water under him.

Lux became relieved for a moment that he wasn’t injured, but he realised the strangeness right away.

(This is— hot water?)

When he looked, his body from his hips downward was covered by hot water.

On the other side of the white steam, he was able to see an expensive looking marble pillar and wall due to the faint lamp that made the surroundings look orange.

“Don’t tell me this place is—”

Lux realised it the moment he was trying to grasp hold of the situation.

The fragments of the roof he fell from.

Those fragments fell, and even from above the small build girl who was nearby—.

“Look out!”

Lux jumped towards her by reflex to push her away and jumped on her.

Part 3[edit]

“How long are you planning to ride on top of me, you fooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!”

—And Lux’s consciousness connected to the present.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

Several loud screams echoed throughout the bath.

“I-I’m sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorry!”

Bath tub, chair, soap. Various things were thrown, and Lux retreated towards the washing place.

(What do I do? To think that I would fall into the women’s bath of the large public bath…!?)

Starting to despair so, Lux confirmed that there was still a girl’s pochette, which got a little wet with hot water, in his hand.

“I-I’m sorry. I-I fell here because the roof broke; I just wanted to get this back––”

While turning his face away from the girls’ naked bodies, Lux hung up the pochette which he had in his hand.

Then, the pochette’s mouth opened and two pieces of clothes fell flutteringly.

“Huh…?”

It was two pieces of underwear white above and below.

The owner of the underwear was certainly a woman, but––.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Underwear thief! On top of being a peeping tom, he’s an underwear thief!”

“The guards! Call the guards quickly!”

“Fetch your swords! Legitimate self-defense is approved as of now!”

“P-Please wait a minute! This isn’t mine, um –– it belongs to a girl who happened to pass by––!?”

As he desperately tried to explain, Lux noticed.

(Damn! Any kind of excuse won’t work!?)

“How to put it, um, sorry!”

As Lux hurriedly jumped out of the bathroom, he passed through the dressing room and started running.

He had the feeling that there were girls who were taking off their clothes also there, but he decided to pretend that he saw nothing.

“H-How did it turn out like this…!?”

“Catch him! Don’t let him escape!”

Lux, who somehow managed to escape the danger zone, while being chased by girls who wore their clothes, ran with all his energy in an unknown building.

A red carpet of high quality was spread out on the floor.

There was a large dining room like a party hall, as well as a playroom and countless guest rooms.

Refined paintings and furnishings were put here and there.

“Huh? This building is––”

At first, he thought that he fell into a high-class hotel with a large bathroom, but it was too wide for it.

It was not the Imperial Court of the Capital, why was there such a building in this Fort city––?

“Ah! He’s there! The pervert who touched my chest is here! Bring me a spear quickly!”

When he was thinking so, the girls who ran into him in the front suddenly screamed.

“Wai…!? How did it become something this big!?”

No… since he was chased as he ran away, if he wanted to prove his innocence, he should just behave himself, but –– he instinctively ran away.

Like wanting to chase when someone runs away, wanting to run away when being chased may also be the instinct of a creature.

Lux ran while thinking such a trivial thing in the corner of his head.

“I-It's already hopeless! I’ll just go through with it––”

For now, he had to run away until the uproar settled down.

When he arrived at the entrance of this big building while thinking so,

“Eh––!?”

Lux stopped, and once again doubted his own eyes.

Under the stairs of the colonnade where he stood, there was a large space decorated with a chandelier of candles.

Three girls armed with swords were standing there.

“Royal Military Academy Regulations, Article 18.”

A quiet voice which was that of one of those three girls. It was emitted by the blue-haired girl with a dignified face.

The three girls’ figures and atmospheres were completely different.

However, only the uniform and the sword belt which they wore were alike.

“Regardless of whether inside or outside of the academy, it is forbidden to draw out a sword device without the permission of a superior officer. However, only in the case of flagrant delict’s confirmation or when danger befalls oneself is one allowed to draw sword and use a Drag-Ride.”

With a well-projected voice in the large entrance, the blue-haired girl smiled.

Lux who heard it forgot to even give an explanation to the girls and was driven into confusion.

…Eh!?

Just now, what did she say?

Sword device and –– Drag-Ride?

Why did these names come out from such girls––?

“Hmph. For a pervert, you are the one with the best looks so far. You’re good looking enough to even be added as a candidate for my marriage meeting.”

“Um, sorry. Just a moment ago, what did you––?”

To the dazzlingly beautiful blue-haired girl who seemed to have the leader status, Lux asked.

“But, it’s regrettable. There has been no pervert who had crept into this women’s dormitory and succeeded in escaping after being found by us –– the Triad.”

“Eh!?”

Women’s dormitory? What is she talking about?

“Let’s do it. Tillfarr! Nokuto!”

“OK!”

“Yes, my lord. But, just in case, please be careful. Sharis.”

The blue-haired girl called Sharis and the two girls who were standing still on both her sides.

These three girls simultaneously unsheathed their swords.

With a dark gray blade, a sword on which a shining silver line floated –– sword devices.

“No way!?”

When Lux opened his eyes wide in surprise, he heard Sharis’ voice.

“––Come forth, Wing Dragon of the crest which is the symbol of power. Fly in accordance with my sword, <Wyvern>!”

At the same time, the space at the tip of the sword which Sharis swung shook and warped.

What gathered there at high speed were grains (particles?) of light.

Countless pale lights tinged with undulations formed one single entity.

“…!?”

What appeared was a mechanical dragon twice as big as a human.

A streamlined form where metals with an acute angle were connected and lay innumerably on top of one another.

The wet luster was abominably beautiful like an embezzled famous sword.

“A Drag-Ride!? Why––”

Drag-Rides.

They were ancient weapons which were summoned by drawing sword devices used as a pair. Mechanical armors, which copied legendary dragons, worn on one’s body and with which one acquired the war potential of a thousand soldiers.

Seven Ruins were discovered in the world.

Those weapons which were excavated from there possessed power enough to overturn the concept of war, which had been cultivated over several hundreds of years from in the past, in an instant.

Humans who wore those Drag-Rides and could master them were called Drag-Knights.

But, Drag-Rides were scarce and very expensive and only knights of the Kingdom and some influential people could basically possess them.

Why do these girls possess them––

“Connection On.”

Sharis muttered, during the opportunity when Lux was dumbfounded.

The blue streamlined machine opened from within, and was unfolded into innumerable parts.

The parts went towards Sharis’ both arms, both legs, trunk and head, connected at high speed –– it was equipped.

The Drag-Ride covered its master’s body with non-stop movements and changed into an armor.

“Oh my, did you creep in here without even knowing where this is? But, it’s useless even if you are befuddled, Pervert-kun. Give up and make a Dogeza[1] there. If you do so, I can get it over with about ten whiplashes.”

“Uh-huh. Peeping is a crime.”

“Yes, my Lord. Either way, you will be punished.”

At the words of Sharis who was the leader, the girl with a light tune, Tillfarr and the girl with a calm atmosphere, Nokuto agreed.

These two girls were also wearing other kinds of Drag-Rides on their bodies and took a stance of combat as well.

“…Ah, wait a minute!?”

Isn’t this a very dangerous situation?

Within a building like this –– no, in the first place, it wasn’t equipment to use against a flesh-and-blood opponent!

“Haa!”

Sharis who wore <Wyvern> on her body kicked the floor and flew.

From the armor of both wings on the legs and back, she sprayed out wind wearing light.

With a single leap from the edge of the entrance of the building, she attacked Lux who was in the open ceiling of the second floor.

She greatly swung the arm covered with metal armor and suddenly struck with it as she used it like a sword.

“Uwaaaaaaaah!?”

Lux abruptly turned sideways and dodged it.

Though he was able to evade it by a hairbreadth, the wooden handrail which was over there was smashed to pieces.

“Oops! Did I hold back the speed too much?”

“No! You used too much power! I’d have died though!?”

While putting a riposte to the surprised Sharis, Lux went down the stairs as he rolled over.

Then, the Drag-Ride for land battles which was at the entrance up to now. Tillfarr who equipped a jade green Drag-Ride –– <Wyrm> immediately blocked his way.

“Hyaffuuuuh. Uh oh, test, test[2]. Notification to Pervert-san there. As of now, your crime is light.”

“In a sense, I’m treated more severe than in an average punishment, though!?”

“It’s bad”, thought Lux while riposting.

The flight ability could not be fully used indoors; on the contrary, it became a hindrance to the movements.

That’s why Sharis’ flight general purpose Drag-Knight <Wyvern> was still good, but it was dangerous here.

The limbs covered with thick armors possessed a high mobility due to multiple variables frames and could let out power likely to explode at any time as well.

After all, the land battle general-purpose Drag-Ride <Wyrm> was a Drag-Ride with properties most suitable for close range combat.

“Well, anything is fine, so behave yourself. If you struggle strangely, it’ll be rather dangerous.”

“At this rate, I would rather be killed!?”

Lux put his feet on the handrail, and jumped down to the first floor without going down the stairs where the path was blocked.

However––,

“U-Uh-oh! I won’t let you pass here!”

Floating a confident smile, Tillfarr instantly stood in the way.

Together with the armor worn on her body, she made a side fall down centering on the handrail of the stairs and landed.

A Drag-Ride was not just a mere heavy and hard armor.

The kinematic performance of the installation part was also greatly strengthened by the energy brought forth from the Force Core which was the Drag-Ride’s power

“Haaah!”

The right arm of Tillfarr clad in that armor was swung downward.

“Kuh…!?”

*BANG*! With a crushing sound, the wooden floor was smashed and dust soared. There was a light shout and movement, but the power was very great.

While Lux shuddered at the performance of a Drag-Ride which he felt with his own body––.

“…Huh?”

Tillfarr wearing <Wyrm> looked at the floor where her fist was driven in.

He had disappeared.

The figure of Lux, in front of whom she displayed her power just now, and who should be surprised.

“Under the floor! Tillfarr!”

“Eh…?”

Sharis’ dignified voice overhead reached Lux who ran under the floor.

The blow which Tillfarr let out as intimidation.

He went through the hole which it made, escaped under the floor and was running.

“Mmm…”

When Tillfarr who was pointed out looked into the hole of the floor with a discontented face,

“Don’t chase him, Tillfarr.”

Sharis’ calm voice stopped Tillfarr.

“No matter how effective <Wyrm>’s maneuverability is, the bottom of the floor here is too narrow. If you destroy the dormitory any further, it’ll be a written apology. I won’t chase him anymore, either.”

“But, but! If we let him escape like this––”

“It’s all right. Nokuto has already moved. She won’t let him escape.”

While calming Tillfarr, Sharis let her gaze wander about at the surroundings.

“But, what is the meaning of this? He managed to hold out without equipment… Those movements. It was as if he saw through the special characteristics of our Drag-Rides in an instant––”

To the perplexity of the girl who was usually very confident, Tillfarr tilted her head to the side.

“Hmm? What is it, Sharis?”

“Silver hair and a black collar. No… don’t tell me that boy is––”

With a serious tone, she just coughed so.

Part 4[edit]

“Uwaaaaaaaah!”

Escaping to the outside of the building from under the floor, Lux dashed on the road of the ground.

The <Wyvern> of Sharis and the <Wyrm> of Tillfarr.

Also the moment when he escaped from the two general-purpose type Drag-Rides.

The third person –– the girl named Nokuto came chasing Lux.

Her orange Drag-Ride was a general purpose Drag-Ride called <Drake>.

In contrast with the flight type <Wyvern> and the land battle type <Wyrm>, it was a type classified as a special equipment (customized) type.

Although it was a Drag-Ride equipped with special functions such as searching for the enemy, camouflage, support, assistance, restoration and the like, and its basic performance (ability) was somewhat lowered, its strength under a specific situation surpassed the other two.

Using it special characteristic –– visually observing Lux even within the dark by means of the goggles which were worn on her head, Nokuto accurately ran after him.

“Stop. If you don’t stop, I will shoot. If you stop, I will shoot kindly.”

Towards Lux who ran within the vast site towards the main gate, Nokuto called out to him while chasing after him.

Needless to say that Nokuto clad in <Drake> was above him in speed.

However, Lux ran as he wove his way through the bush with many trees and weakened her momentum of chase.

“Kindly? What do you mean!?”

Lux answered only with his voice without looking back.

“Yes. It'd be great if you didn't die. In that sense.”

“It was only a matter of feelings!?”

“Yes. And, I will do so that you won’t suffer as much as possible. In that sense.”

“You have the atmosphere of ‘however much I kill you, it won’t be enough’!?”[3]

As expected, I can’t stop her.

I will be killed if I stop.

And just in case, if his identity was exposed, it would become something terrible––.

“Yes. ––Then, it can’t be helped.”

At the same time she leaked such a dangerous mutter, Nokuto set up a Breath Gun.

It was a rapid-fire (blaze) type rifle which let the Drag-Ride’s energy converge and began shot.

It was an armament of low power against a Drag-Knight, but if received with a human body, one would easily fall victim.

“Kuh…!”

Lux, who sensed the presence where the trigger was pulled on his back, jumped diagonally forward with all his strength.

From within the darkness in order to conceal his figure, to the way to the main gate brightly illuminated.

There –– there was a bonfire to illuminate the passage up to the building.

“…!?”

The next moment, Nokuto obstructed the goggles of the armor with her hand.

Because the bonfire itself was used as an obstacle (wall), it was too dazzling in the view which raised sensitivity.

“Yes. It looked like, you know, the <Drake>’s special trait. However, with only that––”

The view sensitivity which was provided through the goggles of the <Drake> could be immediately adjusted.

When Nokuto exposed her face which she covered with her hand so as to take aim with the Breath Gun again,

“––!?”

Before her eyes, fire was approaching.

It was firewood with fire that was from the bonfire. Lux who gripped one of it, threw it aiming at Nokuto’s rear.

“Kuh…”

She swung the armored arm in a hurry and flipped the firewood.

With a Drag-Knight as an opponent, ordinary attacks would not work; the throwing of a smoke screen would be better[4].

But, at that opportunity where Nokuto suddenly stopped, Lux reached up to the way near the main gate.

Exactly at that time, a girl wearing the same uniform as Nokuto and company walked as she slowly headed to the women’s dormitory from the main gate.

Since there was danger of involving the girl, she could no longer shoot with the Breath Gun.

While thinking so in the corner of her head, Nokuto was astonished.

“Why? It can’t be…”

No matter how much they were going easy on him, to succeed in escaping against three Drag-Knights without equipment––.

“Who is he? That boy––”

“Ok, with this, I somehow––”

Lux looked back behind and checked that Nokuto lowered her gun.

It would not be wise to escape as is though.

When the other side settled down, he would properly explain himself and apologize.

“––––”

When he thought so, as he noticed before his eyes, the girl was there.

The breathing of Lux who was running away with all his power stopped for an instant.

It was a beautiful girl.

She had a slender and well-proportioned body, noble features and cold eyes.

Just like a perfect work of art, the girl, showing neither strain nor slack, was standing before Lux.

“You do not need to chase him. Since I will stop him.”

“Krulcifer-san…”

The girl in front of him lightly raised her right hand and called out to Nokuto behind.

To her movements which had not that much hesitation, Lux instinctively stopped.

“Haa, Haa… Um… Excuse me. I’m, errr––”

From the building behind, screams such as “Pervert!” or “Underwear thief!” could be heard.

“Yes, I know.”

Looking at Lux who hurriedly tried to explain, the girl smiled.

“What a fairly pretty peeping tom, pervert and underwear thief, eh. He’s still a child.”

“Eh…!? …N-No… I––”

While shaking, Lux was, just a little, irritated.

Certainly the girl in front of him had a grown-up atmosphere, but she should be about the same age as him.

And yet––.

“…I may not look like this, but I’m 17 years old. Well, I’m often told that my face looks childish, but––”

Forgetting that he was in a situation where he was cornered, Lux rebutted.

The fairylike girl suddenly showed a sad expression.

“…Is that so. But, I’m sorry. I don’t like it, but even with a child as an opponent, I can’t overlook an offender.”

(C-Child, child, doesn’t she care about what someone told her…!?)

In a part totally unrelated to this turmoil, Lux inwardly decided further.

He understood that he, who suddenly plunged into the large public bath and could not make any excuse, was totally in the wrong.

But, be that as it may, there was the problem of pride.

Even though he might not like this, he intended to pile up (acquire) even the training of hand-to-hand combat as such.

In that case––.

I will show her how much even that ‘child’ can do as such.

Of course, he did not intend to attack her or even use attacks as intimidation from the start.

He would dodge her and escape outside with just mere footwork.

“…Haa!”

With such a scream, Lux began the bout.

In order to dodge the girl in front of him, he made a feint to the left, turned and went to the right.

The girl could not react. He overtook her.

The moment when Lux believed so––,

“––You’re naive, eh.”

At the same time as the voice of the girl called Krulcifer, the world turned upside down.

“Eh––!?”

After the question of the moment, a shock ran throughout his body.

What on earth––

“Well then, I leave the rest to you. I’m going to the bath. There are no more peeping toms, are there?”

Soon after having heard her indifferent voice, Lux’s field of vision turned black.

It was after he woke up later that he noticed that it was due to the shock when he was flung by Krulcifer.

The long first day ended, and began.
