Chapter 311: Punishment Is…

When we arrived at the academy the time was about to hit 12:00.

Worried by Fia and Hiero not to force it, the two’s care was glad and I smiled and nodded.

The two seemed to have talk with Croana and headed for the principal’s room. I headed for the instructor’s room with Merii who is guarding today.

Arriving at the instructor’s room I took out documents on the desk, sat on the chair, and tried to advance work but could not concentrate.

There is also that my mood is down from the Bis matter... but I do not have time to be depressed.

Heading to Santony the day after tomorrow, if I am like this I will instead trouble the students.

I let out a big breath, put in spirit, faced the documents, and thought to run the brush. Then I was hugged from behind.

In the room there was only Merii. On my back two soft watermelon-like big feelings were pressed.

Both arms reached from behind grabbed both my arms trying to work. A sweet spring-breeze scent floating thicker than Senai.

Smelling that scent I felt the fallen mood ease. I set the brush held in my right hand on the desk.

Looking at Merii cheek-rubbing my side hair in the corner of my eye, grateful for her care I smiled in a troubled way and spoke.

"Today’s me, am I making that tired a face?"

"Rather than tired, I think the expression down is correct. Even working in that state you will not get a good result. That is not only people. We fairies are the same. So let us rest a little, okay?"

"...Then I will have you let me lean on the words. Thank you, Merii."

I turned my face to Merii who had been cheek-rubbing and kissed her cheek. Immediately my lips were kissed too.

Since she will let me be spoiled, I will have that feeling received... honestly the hard feeling is quite tough.

I sat deep in the chair and had Merii sit between my open legs, put both arms under the chest, and hugged.

I buried my face in Merii’s hair flowing to the right, took a big deep breath, and filled my lungs with the scent.

"I am very glad Raide-sama has come to lean. If you call when you want to lean I will run over at once."

"If told that I will end up calling someone every time. I said it, did I not? I am surprisingly lonely."

"Nnfu. I know and am saying... nyan, kus... already..."

At Merii’s mischievous words I lifted my face from the buried hair and kissed the beautiful nape.

Senai and Merii flow their hair sideways. The beautiful nape is always visible and charming.

Both arms put under the chest with the soft feeling on them. When I moved them as if to lift the chest I was cautioned "No~."

"I am aware I have a mischievous personality, but Raide-sama is quite a mischievous child too?"

"Rather than mischief I am leaning though."

"Already. I want you to guess. If you do not make it mischief my brake will stop working."

While pressing the back of her head on my right shoulder Merii smiled with a troubled face and gently stroked my left cheek with her left hand.

The smooth hand feeling was good. I overlapped my own left hand on the left hand stroking my left cheek, and pressed my left cheek on the left hand myself and enjoyed the feeling.

Closing my eyes like that the comfort was enough I seemed able to nap. Merii’s scent cleared the fallen mood more and more.

Even saying the brake will stop working, to Merii who was letting me do as I liked I brought my mouth to her ear and murmured thanks. She smiled and said "I am the one getting a reward" and kissed my right cheek.

Really helped by the existence of the lovers. I can tell myself the lonely and spoiled child is accelerating.

The one whose brake is not working is me... even thinking it is no good during work I end up seeking warmth and hugging.

"Come to think of it. What do you mean to use the bought tavern for?"

"Nn~? Aah. The plan is made. But there is something lacking and for now I cannot use it. Regrettable though."

"Something lacking... personnel?"

"Personnel too, and tools too."

I parted the left hand that had been gripping Merii, returned my left arm under the chest, hugged tight, and smiled with a troubled face and spoke.

Merii tilted her head as if wondering at my words, set the tip of the index finger of the freed left hand on her chin, and made a cute reaction.

Buying the tavern was also as an offering to Bis, but it is to prepare for events that will probably happen from now.

If not only story events but free-play quests occur, I want to have what can be obtained.

Last time I went to Santony I intentionally avoided places where quests occur.

But this time because I am taking the students, when introducing the town I will go near where quests occur.

If no quest occurs no problem, but thinking of the case it occurs property becomes necessary.

If I ask Erika she seems she will prepare at once, but explaining is hard.

And more than anything I cannot give profit at once so I end up feeling sorry.

Then if I buy with my own money and possess it, I will not cause extra worry, and will not be pried.

Thinking that I let out a small breath. Suddenly I was laughed at by Merii, kusu kusu, and I tilted my head what is it?

"Would it not be better to report to Erika-sama?"

"Mm... then when reporting Bis’s outcome to Elysia shall I have Erika attend too?"

"Fufu. I think that is better. So you will not be told you did not consult again. I do not know what you mean to do... but no matter what Erika-sama will worry."

I pulled my left hand from under Merii’s chest, looked at the chest swaying fururun, and with that left hand lightly rubbed the back of my neck and smiled wryly.

Thinking well as Merii says, if I report to Erika later I can see a future of being turned jito eyes and combo-poked.

"...If I cause the lovers worry, I still have to improve more?"

"There has not been a time we did not worry, and no matter how much time passes I think we will worry about Raide-sama. But that is the privilege of us who are lovers. If you do not cause more worry I will be troubled."

"Because I want to be leaned on," Merii murmured kissing my right cheek. I feel she is really twins with Senai.

Not as intense mischief as Senai, but Merii also firmly has mischievous places.

Since she is turning her face sideways I kissed with a touch on the lips, then asked "Does Merii want punishment too?" She smiled a mischievous-child smile and in place of an answer I got a kiss on the lips.

This seems Senai and Merii, I have to punish the two at the same time.

I leaned on Merii’s feeling, and was let work while hugging until training time.

Normally work would be delayed, but in my case work seems to advance. The delayed part in the morning was also summarized by the time training started.

The time is 15:00. Combat training time.

Outside is heavy rain. Considering the students’ condition the training ground cannot be used. Departing for Santony the day after tomorrow so I have them spend training time in the library.

At the same time as telling the students tomorrow is a day off, I do not forget to tell them Croana the principal, each teacher, and each instructor held a meeting and considered.

I crossed my arms, looked over the students, and since it is the library said without raising my voice much.

"Not as a substitute, but summarize what you learned on the trip and submit to the academy. Well. It is also called homework. This homework can be summarized on the way of the trip, or after coming back to the royal capital is fine. But you must submit. Now. Why do you think?"

At my question the students started consulting with nearby friends. Roy looked at Lucy and consulted.

At the table Erika is sitting Aurora, Win, Rain, Porte, Rinelle, and Micon, Scon are sitting, consulting with serious expressions.

By the way Rinelle who does not participate in the trip will have classes directly from Croana, and Fia and Lea.

Hilbyid also seems in good condition today, and was consulting with Relia, Tia, and Karinal... so it is like everyone is saying they will participate in the trip. Looking at that sight in the corner of my eye I smile in a troubled way.

The buzzing voices got fewer. I thought consultation ended and looked over the students.

...Mm. Who to ask... here shall I make it Relia unusually.

I turned my face to Relia. She made a slightly surprised face and immediately changed to a serious one.

"Relia. Why must it be submitted?"

"Well... depending on our results, there is a possibility it will be done in other years too?"

"Aah. Correct. Everyone’s homework will be viewed including Croana the principal, each teacher, and each instructor. And is this trip meaningful? Is it safe? Also meeting, there is a possibility it will be carried out in other years too."

The students who heard my words made tense faces and started talking with friends, buzza buzza. I clapped my hands with meaning to be quiet and made them notice.

I understand everyone’s tension. If thought homework and told the future of all school students is hanging, of course they get tense.

So the students can be as at ease as possible I keep smiling gently and speak.

"There is nothing to strain. Summarize what you saw, felt, learned. Well. You can also summarize the goal thing I said before. But summarize something? As expected I will be scolded."

"Ha~~~i."

The students answered my words with smiles as if amused. I instructed the students to investigate things necessary for the trip.

That is so. Smile. If you strain too much good ideas will not come to mind.

Especially documents. The more you hurry trying to write something the more you cannot write.

Looking with eyes at the students scattering to search for books I smiled with a troubled face. In the edge of my vision Karinal making a hard face and looking at me was reflected.

Karinal looking at me with that face is rare.

Mm... shall I call out from me later. I pray it is not trouble.

I muttered in my heart and let out a small breath.
