Episode 13- The Pledge of Protection

Early the next morning.

Tenka woke up from her sleep, immediately noticing the ceiling of her room. There was no way she was mistaken since she had two weeks to adapt to her new living environment.

Tenka sighed, trying to move her body but felt a strong grip on her. Someone was stopping her from moving.

Looking back to see what was holding her, she noticed the beautiful long blond hair that was always well-groomed, and the face of the handsomest boy she had ever seen in her life. The angel-like appearance that could only descend from the heavens. His sleeping face was something she enjoyed looking at. Then she looked down and noticed that his arms were wrapped around her waist.

There is no way! Did we sleep in the same bed!? Did we do something sexual last night?! N-no, that could not be the case, he doesn't look like someone that would take advantage of people. I like this feeling but… he is going to have to get up because we have school later.

With those thoughts, Tenka tapped Shito on the face lightly, trying her best to wake him up without using a lot of force.

"...Wake up, it's time for us to go to school."

"Five more minutes," Shito said, clinging onto the Vermillion's princess waist tightly. There was no sign of him trying to let the girl go. He buried his face in her chest and started wiggling around.

That was when Tenka started to get embarrassed, she did not really mind the fact that he was clinging to her, but his face touching her breasts was a different story. That was the first time someone ever made any sort of contact with her breasts.

Ahhhh! His face is buried in my breast! There is no way he is doing that unconsciously because if he is then… I-! guess it's fine.

The young red-haired woman began to panic as she screamed random things internally. 

Tapping him again, Tenka had used enough force to wake him up, she did not tap him too hard.

"I'm up, I'm up," Shito said in the usual monotone voice he always speaks in, a voice that is as cold as ice. Even though he had been sleeping with a girl and even cuddling with her, there was no sign that he enjoyed it at all.

"...So did you like burying your face into my chest?" Tenka asked, ignoring him, not showing any sort of emotion. It was not because she hated that he didn't show any emotions at all, it just looked like he did not really care about her breasts at all.

Shito just looked at the Vermillion princess with no change of facial expression even after hearing the annoyance in her voice and he opened his mouth. "Yes, I really enjoyed burying my face into those big breasts of yours are really soft," he said in the bluntest way possible. There was no sort of hesitation in his voice.

I shouldn't have asked him that question! While I know he is being as truthful as possible I don't want him to say it like that… it's embarrassing.

"Just go out now, I have to get ready for school."

Shito nodded his head, teleporting himself out of the room, leaving no trace of his presence behind. The teleportation spell benefits people who don't like to walk around.

Mages were people who did not really like physical activities because they didn't take any time to build up their physical strength. Mages were weak against physical attacks and if they were to fight a swordsman, they would be killed instantly.

However, even if a swordsman were physically stronger than a mage most mages could beat them in fights. If a mage was smart enough, then they could beat even the best swordsman in the world. But all mages were physically weak. While there was only a limited number of people who had the talent to train with both swordsmanship and magic. There were many people that still wanted to be strong.

The question was, why couldn't everyone be a magic knight? Everyone should be able to become magic knights by training in both swordsmanship and magic. So why could only a limited number of people be classified as 'magic knights'...? The answer was simple, it was because of knowledge. If a person were to try to use magic and swordsmanship at the same to it could destroy your body from the inside out. Both magic and swordsmanship take a lot of time to control, and if it is not used correctly then it would completely kill a person. That is why people did not want to become magic knights because the risk of dying was higher than ninety percent.

Shito arrived at his room, looking around at the room that had nothing but a big bed and dresser.

He tilted his head to the side and said. "...Her breast was soft. I wonder if she is going to let me lay on them again." 

Shito snapped his fingers, using magic to wash his body so he did not have to take a shower.

Magic came a long way. At first, magic was used to purely kill people, but people started to make spells, so they didn't have to take any time out of their day. Like the spell Clean. A spell that cleans a person's body. Magic was useful for more things than just killing.

That girl's body was so soft… I should take advantage of every chance I get to lay on it. It has been the most comforting feeling I have felt in a while. Shito thought as he started walking out of his room door.

When he arrived in the living room, he saw the Vermillion princess already ready and waiting for him.

"Come on, it's time for us to go to school," Tenka said, holding her hand out, waiting for him to take it.

Shito looked at the hand that was in front of his face, immediately grabbing it with no hesitation. He meant everything he said, he would take every chance he got to lie on her body in every chance encounter. Her body was so soft and warm, the body of the Vermillion princess might be more comfortable than his bed.

"Is this not embarrassing for you?" Shito asked, tightly holding off the Vermillion princess.

Tenka just stared at him and smiled, "No, I'm not embarrassed, since the person I'm doing this with is you." she said with no hesitation. Everything she said was the truth and it came from the depths of her heart.

With that, there was nothing else that needed to be said between the two students, they both knew deep down that they enjoyed each other's company, so they kept quiet and started to walk towards the door. The door led them outside so they could be on their way to school, they could have easily teleported to the school, but they liked the warmness of each other's hands, so they wanted to make the most of it out of the little time they had left.

If they tried to show that much affection at school, then there would be people that tried their best to get in the way of it. One student was the daughter of the head of the Vermillion family, Tenka Vermillion. The other was a student that in the eyes of the other students was a beautiful man with no family background, a guy that is getting in the way of being them with the Vermillion princess.

"Ok, let's go to school now…!"

"We can't hold hands in the school it's going to cause too much trouble."

"Don't worry about it… I am going to be able to handle anything that comes our way."

Tenka looked down and nodded her head, "Ok, I think I can trust you." she said, looking a little worried.

"Just trust me, don't worry about anything because there is no need for that."

"...Ok."

The two of them just kept holding each other's hands, not letting each other go. There was nothing that was going to come in between the two of them.

Shito turned his head, looking at the sky, and his caramel eyes started to shine brightly. His gaze was something that could even pierce through the heavens.

If anything tries to come in the way of my happiness… I am going to kill them, be it, God or the Demon King. If they step in front of me trying to harm me, my family, or this girl. I'm going to kill them with no hesitation. I show no mercy, when it's time to die, it's time for you to die and there is no wiggling your way out of it.

Now, a new goal was set for him, while it was his job to protect the girl, he was going to do it all on his own. Deep down he knew that the girl he was protecting was going to be the source of his happiness one day and he was going to destroy anything that got in his way of being with her… no he was going to obliterate them the face of the planet.
