Chapter 9 Classmate Princess
After the morning lecture, I had lunch at the castle’s restaurant .
“I’m glad that lunch is cheap . ”
There are a lot of items and menus . Thank you for being able to live in this easy environment for a year .
…… The seats are also spacious .
The tables in the cafeteria are quite full, but there are only air pockets around me . The classmates say a word or two but go to another seat .
I thought that this was a kind of leave alone play, and when I finished eating and drinking tea .
“Chrono-san, is it good next to you?”
Sofia comes . She also seems to have lunch and has a tray with sandwiches .
“Please sit down next to me . ”
“Huh, that’s nice .
Saying that she took a seat .
At that time, I realized that the clothes she was wearing were different from what I saw earlier . It was a dress with a lot of exposure during the lecture, but now she’s wearing long sleeves with fluffy frills .
“Oh, you changed your clothes, are you going somewhere?”
“Yes, a little towards the town . It’s the second day since I came here, and I was thinking about buying some small items such as bedding . ”
“Yes, bedding …”
When I was thinking about yesterday that I had forgotten to buy, I yawn involuntarily .
“… Fu-aaa …”
“It looks like you ’re tired, Mr . Chrono . ”
“Oh, no, it’s nothing special . I slept poorly because I slept in a bad position yesterday . ”
“Is that so? Why is that?”
Sofia has a slightly pinched face, but, indeed, she’s not sleepy . The mattress of the demon king was comfortable to sleep in . It was good…
…… The pillow was just a rolled cloth that didn’t fit . Thanks to that, my neck got tired . It seems that drowsiness due to the lack of sleep cannot be helped, even though the resilience at the time of sleep is doubled .
“It’s heavy from neck to shoulder”
As I was talking, I tried to lie down on the table .
“Fufu, if you sleep here, your neck will become more tired . Without a cushion like this . ”
Sofia put her hand between my head and the table with a relaxed movement . My head is on her wrist . If she does that, her body will inevitably come closer to me…
“… Eh, what are you doing?”
“No, thank you for showing me something amazing in the previous lecture . ”
“I don’t remember showing anything . ”
“Don’t worry about it . If you feel that you owe me, return it, because that’s the motto of my family, my clan . I’m doing it because I want to do it”
“Oh, that’s fine . ”
When I sleep in this state, the clothes on her arms hit my cheek and it feels good . I thought so much and realized that…
“… Sofia’s clothes are so soft and fluffy”
It feels more elastic and better than feathers and cotton .
“Oh, thank you for the compliment . I think my tailor will be happy too . ”
What kind of material is that?”
“Fufu, it’s a vampire ’s trade secret . I ’ll just say it’s a casual piece made of cloth handed over to the nobles . ”
I suddenly heard a shocking fact and I went stiff . I forced myself to move my head .
“Wang, noble … was Sophia a princess …?”
When I looked at Sofia and asked, she nodded as expected .
“Is that so?” It is not uncommon for people of special class to be such people . ”
I was told normally .
Well, that said, there were many special-class people, such as royalty and nobility, who were strong in terms of ability and power .
“Don’t worry . I don’t care . ”
Sofia said with a smile . That helps me a lot .
The princess’s arm pillow might be tasteless if seen from an external point of view . But, inevitably, it has already been done, so let’s go as it is .
“Anyway, back to the story, these clothes are packed with various vampire techniques . ”
“Is that so? It feels good . I want to make a pillow . ”
It would be more comfortable if I could sleep with this touch as a pillow . I said while thinking of that .
“Huh, I ’m honored you say that . Then, would you like to touch it a little more?
“Yup?”
She leaned against my body approaching the clothes . I mean, she hugged me .
“That… isn’t it too bold? No, I ’m happy . I thought the pillow was a joke . ”
Looking up at Sofia’s face, her face was also stained red .
“No, no, I’m not going to do so far… . I ’m sorry! I retreat now!
Sofia shows a reaction like that . But she doesn’t leave .
“Oh, Ah? I can’t get away somehow …! My body doesn’t move!”
“What?”
I stand up, what are you saying? But she is still hugging me .
“Uh, Sofia …?”
“Sorry, I ’m sorry .
Sofia shook her head with a red face . What is going on? I look around and find that Sophia’s body has a semi-transparent black chain clinging to her .
…… Is she undergoing some sort of magical attack? But why attack us? I don’t know why, and I’m confused .
“Huh? Chrono, what are you doing?”
“Lisa?”
The Demon King passed by . It was just right . She should be able to tell if we are being attacked by magic . I thought so and tried to listen . But earlier than that,
“Chrono seems to have a slave contract with the girl, but is that relationship?”
Lisa said, with her head tilted .
“Yes?”
“No, that black chain attached to the child is the chain of the ruling contract, right? It controls the other’s soul, enslaves them, and makes them obey orders . Chrono seems like the contractor seeing the movement, but you didn’t do it, did you?”
Liza asked, pointing at Sophia’s chain .
“I don’t have any memories of that . ”
“Is that so?”
“Yes . But to summarize the current situation … Does Sofia have become my slave?”
Lisa answered the question in a light tone .
“After all, Chrono is good at putting all together . That’s right . –Magically, the child is Chrono’s slave . ”
The second day after entering Demon Castle . Somehow, I made a classmate, the vampire princess was a slave .
