Fianna's confession

Part 1

"Ug…"

"Kamito!"

"Kamito-kun"

When Kamito awakened, there were the faces of the two girls before his eyes.

"…Claire, Fianna."

"Great, you've awakened."

"You're too rash… idiot."

…It seemed that he over exhausted his divine power, and had fainted.

Upon getting up from the cold ground, Kamito looked around his vicinity.

The flickering glow of the spirit ore was dimly illuminating the darkness.

The tunnel had collapsed and it seemed that the path was completely blocked by the fallen earth and sand.

"Both of you, are your injuries alright?"

"Yes, we are… are you alright?"

"Ah, I only over exhausted my divine power a little. What, have I worried you?

"Id-idiot, it's not I like I was worried or anything!"

"Ouchhhh!"

Claire's palm landed a clean hit exactly on his wound. Kamito writhed in the intense pain.

"…Come on, what are you doing?"

Fianna sighed in astonishment.

Kamito pressed his hurting shoulder as he surveyed the surrounding,

"Are the others safe?"

"Yes…although, it's hard to say that they're safe. For now, I've done some emergency treatment.

When Fianna held up the light, the appearance of Ellis and the others lying on the ground could be seen.

…Their condition certainly couldn't be said as safe.

Rakka and Reishia, who received the poison directly, were in an unconscious critical state.

Ellis seemed to have consciousness, but it seemed that walking was possible in that condition.

Next to Rinslet, who was leaning on and siting along the wall, Fenrir was licking its master's wounds.

"What on earth happened to him—Jio Inazagi?"

"Fianna released the spirit that was sealed in the spirit ore. He was swallowed into the pillar of light and disappeared. …Well, although, I don't think he's dead."

"Was that a spirit ore…?"

When Kamito faced towards Fianna, she nodded with a "Yes".

"However, a spirit ore that can seal such a spirit—"

It was such a destructive power that it forced back Jio Inazagi's Thanatos, and made the tunnel collapsed.

That holy spirit that Fianna released was, without a doubt, a high ranking spirit.

However, he had not heard of like the existence of a spirit ore and so forth that can seal a high ranking spirit.

"Blood Stone—a treasure handed down in the Ordesia royal family."

"…?"

"Hey you, you also don't know the Blood Stone? It's common knowledge for spirit contractors."

Claire sighed in astonished at Kamito frowning.

"It can't be helped, I'm different from a noble, and I'm unfamiliar with things like that."

When Kamito said that, Claire shrugged her shoulders in disappointment and gave an explanation.

"Blood Stone isn't an ordinary spirit ore. It can seal a part of a high ranking spirit's power with a special spirit ore that was mined at a sacred ground of Astral Zero. Of course, it isn't something that you can buy with money or power. It is a genuine treasure of national-treasure-level, after all."

"Is that so…"

Although her existence was erased from the royal family, Fianna was the former second princess of the Ordesia Empire. The moment she admitted into Areishia Spirit Academy, she might have been made to hand it over in the screening.

I had tricked the stupid palace guards and pilfered it from the royal family's treasure hall. As I had switched it with an imitation, it's alright."

The princess puffed her chest out.

"Ah, I thought it was like that… Hn?"

Incidentally, Kamito picked up a strange feeling that something was out of place.

The out-of-place feeling's true identity was… Fianna's chest pushed out.

…Small. It had obviously become small.

(That reminds me, just now Fianna…)

She was hiding that spirit ore—Blood Stone in her chest.

Although it wasn't such a big thing, how was she hiding that?

"Ug… D-don't look…"

Fianna, who noticed Kamito's line of sight, crossed both her hands and bashfully cover her chest.

"Kamito, Fianna, you know, had been deceiving us all this time!"

Claire thrust out her finger at her in a snap like she was blaming her.

"Deceiving?" "That's right, this girl is a fake breast princess!"

"…"

Kamito slowly turned towards Fianna with a deadpan look,

"…Uh, is that right?"

"Th-that's right, it's pads… is that wrong?"

The princess' cheeks reddened, and she quickly faced away.

"No, it's nothing worth getting furious, but… why did you do such a thing?"

"…To protect the Blood Stone. No one could steal it, if it was within my chest. Moreover, b-boys all like large breast girls, I heard so…"

From the start, her purpose for coming to the academy was to ensnare Kamito and make him her comrade.

…That reminded him she had been coming and pressing her breasts at random, but was that for such a thing?

"No, there are also boys who like girls even if their breasts are small."

"Eh?"

Claire's ears reacted with a twitch for some reason at Kamito's words.

"Ka-Kamito, what you said just now... is that true?"

"Yeah, after all, to each to their own liking of the opposite sex. Well, personally, I think that compared to having none, having them is better… Ouch!"

At that moment, Claire's sharp whip came flying.

"Y-you, you…!"

"No, what I said just now was my personal thought. In the world, there are also many boys of such enthusiastic preference—"

"Uuu!"

Slight tears surfaced in her ruby pupils, as Claire bit her lips.

(Nevertheless, that soft feeling was the pads?...)

…He completely did not notice it. As expected, the technological level of the imperial capital couldn't be made light of.

"Although it was my plan to use that Blood Stone at the «Blade Dance» as a trump card."

Greatly lowering her volume, Fianna clasped to her breasts, as she muttered.

Although, it wasn't that they were that small. They were about normal for a girl of her age.

At the very least, they weren't deplorable breasts like Claire's—

"Uh, what?"

"…No, sorry. It was nothing."

Kamito averted his eyes in a fluster away from Claire, who was glaring sternly with her teary eyes.

Ahem, he coughed and turned towards Fianna.

"However, why did you bring such a spirit ore?"

The spirit and part of its power, which were released from the spirit ore, would instantly return to Astral Zero, it could not be used again.

Therefore, spirit contractors, who possessed contracted spirit, didn't use spirit ore normally. After all, it was certainly more effective to use spirit magic and contracted spirits most of the time in a blade dance.

"…"

When he asked, Fianna looked downwards and calmly sighed.

"Well, it'll get exposed eventually. I'll tell you guys right here and now."

"…?"

Kamito and Claire exchanged glances at Fianna's usually serious expression.

"—It was four years ago from now, I lost the ability to use my spirit."
