Chapter 3: The Lost Queen

Part 1

After that, Kamito, who parted from Claire and the others, headed towards the academy director’s office immediately.

He knocked and opened the door –

“You’re late, how many seconds do you plan on making this lady wait.”

That was the first thing Greyworth, who was sitting at the office desk, coldly said.

The Dusk Witch – Greyworth Ciel Mais.

Her figure was certainly that of a bewitchingly beautiful woman but she was originally a long military servicing spirit knight, who had her name entered first on the list of Numbers (the twelve knight commanders).

She had wavy ash-blonde hair. Her gray pupils were shining behind her small pair of glasses.

“Sorry, I heard that you had business and no matter what my walking became heavy.”

“Hmm, so now you're able to run your rather cheeky mouth, are you? Where did the obedient pure boy from those days go? Really, this thing called the flow of time is cruel.”

“You’re the only one who doesn't change, Greyworth. Your outward looks as well as your tricky character.”

Kamito loathsomely spitted out.

Greyworth is one of the few people, who knew him three years ago.

And she was the perpetrator who called Kamito, who threw away the name Ren Ashbell, to the academy and attempted to make him participate in the blade dance two months later.

She did not tell him the reason for that.

Although, it was often the case that the Dusk Witch worked Kamito hard without telling him anything.

“That’s right, you have certainly changed. Compared to three years ago, you’ve became especially weak. In the practice match a while ago, what was that sorry state against an opponent of that level? If it was the you from the past, you would have overwhelmingly defeated one person in under three minutes.”

“You were watching? …As usual your hobbies are bad.”

“In such a sorry state, your participation qualifications to the blade dance are also doubtful. Or, was it a fluke that you defeated that military-use spirit?”

“That time was—“

Kamito slight mumbled.

It was not that he defeated it with only his strength.

Kamito, who had a chance meeting with his changed former contracted spirit and was struck with despair, was given the strength to stand once again by that red hair hell cat girl.

(…!)

Suddenly, the sensation of her soft lips was resurrected in his mind.

To shake off and cleanse the evil thoughts, Kamito shook his head in a fluster.

“I also think that I’m miserable. I can’t even use my contracted spirit’s power yet.”

Kamito dropped his sights onto his right hand, which was engraved with a spirit seal.

“Is it that you still can’t forget your previous woman? How stubborn.”

“Don’t mess around! Restia isn’t like that!”

“On the contrary, getting hotheaded makes it increasingly suspicious. If you like, how about getting a lover or something in this academy? It might even divert a little of the loneliness.”

“Lov—“

“Or, are the girls in the academy too child-like? If that’s the case… I’m also good.”

Greyworth smiled bewitchingly and slightly pushed open her breast area with her fingertips.

He accidentally saw an adult-like black, lacey lingerie on the interior of her cleavage.

“D…don’t mess around!”

“It’s a joke. Hmm, with that tone, it seems that you have not yet reached that level. I’ve heard rumors that you are made to wait on a tiny breasted beautiful girl and a nude knee-socks spirit and are indulging in an improper harem cohabitation life.”

“Guu…”

Trying to refute, Kamito was at a loss for words.

…Objectively looking at it, that was the truth and so it was painful to be unable to denial it.

“Greyworth, did you call me just to say some worthless jokes?”

“That’s right – but, of course, that isn’t the only thing.”

Greyworth creaked her chair and faced the visitor room at the inner side of the room.

“I have a girl I want to introduce to you – okay, come in”

“Okay.”

From the inner room, there was what sounded like a bell being turned over.

The one who opened the door and appeared was –

A girl who wore a black dress like uniform, different from the academy’s uniform.

It was a beautiful girl, whose beautiful long black hair was impressive, to the extent that he was taken aback.

She had clear back pupils. Without thinking, Kamito was charmed by her neat and clean appearance.

“…Eh?”

The moment his eyes met with hers, she made a puzzled face for some reason.

“Errm, you’re … Kazehaya Kamito-kun?”

While blinking her eyes incessantly, the girl asked.

“Ahh, that’s right, however–“

“But my impression is very…”

…It was somewhat strange but it seemed the girl received a shock.

(Wh…what’s with this?)

“But, that’s right… he’s a boy after all and it’s already been three years.”

The girl was muttering to herself in a voice that Kamito could not hear.

After that, she looked at Kamito’s face again.

“Yes, there’s certainly a resemblance, yeah. Besides, this is fine—“

“What’s up, Fianna?”

Greyworth called out, seemingly puzzled.

“Ah, s…sorry! Err, this is the first time I’ve seen a male spirit contractor!”

The girl called Finna shook her head in a fluster.

“Erm… who is this girl?”

Kamito face Greyworth and asked.

Then, the girl, for some reason, made a sullen expression and pouted her lips.

“I knew it, you didn’t remember… well, that’s fine though.”

“She is the admitted student, who will be entering the same Raven Class as you.”

“Admitted student?”

Ah! Kamito nodded. They were talking about it at the café just a while ago.

(This girl is the one…)

Carol was saying that it was the daughter of a noble social status but in any case the ojou-sama of noble social status in this academy were overflowing near him, so he did not feel anything special.

(After that, she said that… her breasts were big.)

Without thinking, he glanced towards the dress-like uniform’s chest area—

(…Indeed, certainly.)

Kamito consented strangely.

“She is the Ordesia Empire’s second princess, your Highness Fianna Ray Ordesia.”

“…Ordesia?”

Kamito frowned for a moment—

“No way…!”

His eyes widened in surprise.

In Areishia Spirit Academy, which was a spirit contractor training organization, many genuine daughters of nobles were enrolled. This was the result of the empire’s royalty and nobles continuing the bloodline of spirit contractors by marriage that spanned even over several generations.

Naturally, there were also exceptions but speaking of spirit contractors, it was normal that it would be the daughters of the nobles.

Fahrengart, the head of the military family and Laurenfrost, with a history.

Its territory was currently seized but Claire’s Elstein family name was also a noble pedigree.

However, this girl before him was – the second princess of the Ordesia Empire.

She was not even the daughter of a noble.

She was what one would call – the real princess.

(Why would the empire’s princess be in the academy?)

Daughters born into the Ordesia royal family should be scheduled to stack up training as a spirit princess candidate, serving the five great elemental lords, at the spirit princess training organization, the 'divine ceremony institute'.

In any case, Kamito kept that question in his chest for now and knelt down on the ground on one knee.

Henceforth, the second princess completely disappeared from the center stage.

That Lost Queen meant this girl in front of him?

“It’s just as she says. As long as you pass through this academy’s gates, no matter what social status the princess maidens have, there are no special treatments. Even a princess, a male spirit contractor or the Calamity Queen’s sister.”

“There you have it, I’m the former princess but nice to meet you. Kazehaya Kamito-kun.”

Fianna smiled and picked up the sides of her skirt with her fingertips and bowed elegantly.

“A…Ah, nice to you meet—“

Kamito stood up and his expression froze.

“What’s the matter?”

“No, err…”

While scratching his face, Kamito looked away.

“?”

Fianna tilted her head to the side.

“Kyaa!”

It seemed she realized that what she was holding up was not a ball dress but a short length uniform skirt.

Her mature black underwear, weaved with laces, was firmly etched into Kamito’s retina.

“Ka…Kamito-kun… pervert.”

The former princess’ face turned red and she embarrassedly muttered.

“I…I’m sorry…”

“You two, don’t flirt and act lovey-dovey in front my eyes. It’s irritating.”

Greyworth glared at Kamito, with her eyes filled with bloodlust.

“…I’m sorry. And why did you call for me?”

About this witch. It was probably not just to introduce the admitted student.

(To introduce the empire’s princess to me, what is she scheming?)

As if she read Kamito’s emotions, the witch pushed up her glasses, seemingly sullen.

“It’s regrettable, despite specially preparing a special task for your sake.”

“A special task?”

“That’s right. It was just nice that I had a task I want to entrust to her, so I want your team to accompany her as her escort.”
