Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance:Volume2 Epilogue
Epilogue
—The next morning, Kamito woke up on a bed in the medical office.
He, honestly, didn't remember much about what happened after that.
He over-exhausted his divine power in using Est, and his consciousness had become hazy.
Jio Inzagi was apprehended by the Sylphid Knights of the academy, who rushed over, and was handed over to the Ordesia military as the suspect of the incident. That fake Demon King, who lost his Blood Stone's power, had no longer any power to resist.
The Jormungandrstrategic-class military-use spirit, which was sleeping under the mine, was resealed without problems by Fianna holding the ritual Kagura of resealing. The shrine, above ground, was also completely destroyed by the Knights. There should never be another time when that would be released.
Darkness spirit Restia had disappeared the moment Jio's arm was cut off.
It did not mean that she vanished—That was what the throbbing of the spirit seal, engraved on his left hand, had told him.
(Restia, what on earth are you trying to do?)
—Because that was her wish.
His former contracted spirit said that. And then, that he would meet her eventually.
Who was this her she mention? Was that possibly referring to the other Ren Ashbell that was participating in this round's Blade Dance?—
(In any case, as long as we advance, we should be able to fight her.)
Their school ranking greatly went up due to this time's S rank quest achievement, but there were still many high ranking teams. Besides, if they reached the «Blade Dance», the elite champion teams would be selected, not just from this academy, but from every country of the continent.
(This isn't the time to be lying down here…)
Making a bitter smile, Kamito tried to get up from the bed, at that moment.
A soft sensation was squirming about from under the sheet.
"… E-Est! You again—"
He flipped up the sheet in a fluster.
A nude Est—
—wasn't on the bed.
"…Fianna?"
Kamito left his mouth opened.
The one, who was there, was Fianna, who put on a dress-like uniform on her body.
"How disappointing, I already got discovered. Despite that I was thinking of playing various things after this."
The princess brushed up her glamorous black hair, and cutely stuck out her tongue.
Being peered at by a chilling upward glance, his face spontaneously turned red.
"Wh-wh-wh-what are you doing?!"
"Fufu, do you know that a princess maiden of the «Divine Ritual Institute» knows various techniques to let spirits enjoy themselves?"
"Y-you, what do you plan on doing…"
"I'm joking. However, look, do you feel that your vitality is recovering?"
"…? Yes, certainly…!"
He felt some sort of energy swelling up in his whole body. Normally, his divine power shouldn't have recovered this much just by resting for about a day.
"It was a secret ritual Kagura of the «Divine Ritual Institute» to distribute a princess maiden's divine power—However, to use it, our skin must be closely stuck together. If you're offended, I'm sorry."
Fianna quickly blushed, and bashfully looked downwards.
"You're not thinking that I'm an im-immodest girl, right? Even I'm really… embarrassed."
"I-I'm sorry… Thank you. However, you don't have to force yourself."
Kamito apologized in a fluster.
She was pretending to be mature, but she was really an innocent princess. After making her this worried, he awfully could not tell her to move aside.
"I'm not forcing myself. I'm doing it because I l-like it."
Fianna quickly turned away with her face still red.
"…Hey, Fianna, is it really alright for you to not return to the «Divine Ritual Institue»?"
The reason that she tried to participate in the Blade Dance should have been to regain the power of her contracted spirit by the «wish» granted to the victor.
That «wish» had already come true, so—there was already no meaning to stay in this academy.
"It isn't possible to return after all this time. Besides, you know"
Fianna brushed up her long black hair, and gently brought her face close.
"I made another «wish» I want to be granted with."
"What? What's your another wish?"
"It's a secret—"
There was a soft sensation on his cheek.
As her cherry-blossom lips pecked, it touched and softly left.
"…You haven't given up on ensnaring me, have you?"
Kamito groaned with a deadpan look.
"Yes, that's right. This time I'm serious."
The princess expressed an impish smile—and, at that moment.
Gacha—the room's door had opened.
"Ka-Kamito!?"
A red twin tails bounced.
It was Claire who was carrying a large amount of peach canned food.
…It seemed like she came to visit him.
She saw Kamito, who was being entangled with Fianna on the bed.
Gogogogogogogogogo…!
"Y-yo-you two, wh-wh-what are you doing…"
"Wait, it's a misunderstanding. Because this isn't what you think…"
"Oh, Kamito-kun, what's being misunderstood?"
Fianna tightly stuck closed to Kamito's body.
"Wh-why are you making a pretense like throwing firewood into the mouth of a volcano!?"
"… Scarlet, burn them!"
"Georgios, chase that noisy girl out!"
At that moment, the hellcat and the armored knight appeared from empty space.
When the hellcat made an intimidation, the knight unsheathed its sword.
"Hey, stop, this is a sickroom—"
Such a shout from Kamito was erased in vain by the violent sound of weapons clashing.
The peaceful sickroom transformed into a place of a blade dance for a moment.
