Early morning.
The forest was shrouded in a thin layer of fog, and the green leaves by the roadside had sparkling dewdrops.
The ground was also a bit moist, and the air was filled with the fragrance of the earth.
The crisp chirping of birds could be heard faintly.
Pushing open the window of the dormitory, a beautiful girl with long hair and brown skin breathed in the fresh morning air and couldn't help but moan.
"Ah ~ ~"
Stretching her hand out of the window, as if she wanted to grab something, she gently shook her hand and smiled with satisfaction.
"It's another good day!"
Looking into the distance, the forest outside the academy was faintly discernible under the morning fog.
When she retracted her gaze and looked at the grass below the dormitory tower, Qiuluk suddenly saw a figure.
"Eh? That's … I remember it seems to be a maid in the academy? "
At this moment, on the grass, there was a girl in a maid uniform waving a strange weapon that Qiuluk had never seen before.
That kind of short dagger-like weapon reflected a frightening cold light, which made Qiuluk squint slightly.
"What is she doing?"
In her sight, the maid seemed to be waving the weapon continuously. Although Qiuluk had never seen those movements before, he inexplicably felt that it was extremely beautiful.
"Is she practicing her dance?"
Curious, Qiuluk immediately took off her pajamas, changed into her school uniform, and dressed up neatly before leaving the dormitory.
When she passed by Tabatha's room, Qiuluk paused, but still knocked on the door.
The room door opened automatically.
Tabatha had already tidied up. At this moment, she was sitting on the bed, holding a magic book in both hands and reading quietly.
"Hey! Tabatha! Come with me quickly! "
Tabatha raised her head and looked at Qiuluk without a word, her face expressionless.
Qiuluk, who had long been used to her friend's character, didn't care. She walked straight into the room and took Tabatha's hand.
Tabatha, who couldn't persuade Qiuluk, got off the bed, holding the magic book in one hand and the magic staff by the bed in the other. She raised her head and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Watching a good show! Something interesting! "
Tabatha pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose and remained silent.
"Aiya, you just have to come with me!"
Qiuluk didn't wait for Tabatha's reply and directly turned around and pulled her out of the room.
The two girls quickly left the dormitory tower and came to the grassland.
The maid Shaista was still practicing alone.
Tabatha's glasses seemed to reflect light when she saw Shasta.
"Hey! What's your name? "
Qiuluk rudely interrupted Shesta's practice.
"Ah —!"
Shaesta, who was shocked, almost attacked Qiuluk out of reflex. Fortunately, she reacted in time and stopped.
Then, she hung the pair of Emei Piercers on her waist and placed her hands on her abdomen. She bowed and said, "Greetings, ladies. My name is Shaesta."
"Shasta … Hey, what were you doing just now? And what is that thing? "
Qiuluk asked as he pointed at the Emei Piercer hanging on Shesta's waist.
"This …"
After a moment of hesitation, Shesta said, "That's right.
"This servant is currently practicing the battle technique that Mister Yakumo taught me. This is called the Emei Piercer."
"Yakumo?" Qiuluk's eyes lit up.
"Battle skill? Emei Piercer? "Obviously, Tabatha's focus was different from Qiuluk's.
Qiuluk looked at Shaesta from head to toe and thought to himself, 'Does Eight-cloud Ink like this type of girl?'
These days, Qiuluk had been attacking Eight-cloud Ink from time to time, but without exception, he met with a rebuff.
This made Qiuluk, who had always been extremely confident in his charm, feel defeated.
However, "Slightly Hot Qiuluk" was not someone who would admit defeat easily. Originally, Qiuluk only approached Eight-cloud Ink because it was Louise's familiar and he wanted to go against Eight-cloud Ink. However, after recent contact, he seemed to have forgotten his original intention.
Just as Qiuluk was thinking about his own plan, Tabatha walked to Shaesta's side.
"Um, can I have a look?"
"Ah? No, no problem! "
Shaesta took off the Emei Piercer and carefully placed it in Tabatha's hand.
Looking down at the two piercers in her hand, Shaesta found it hard to imagine how such a short weapon could be used in battle.
"I've never seen a weapon before …"
Qiuluk on the side also came over.
"But it's really beautiful!"
"This was given to me by Mr. Yakumo."
When Shaesta mentioned this, she could not help but laugh.
Qiuluk looked at Shaesta, then looked at the Emei Piercer in Tabatha's hand. His eyes turned, and he suddenly said, "Um, Shaesta, right? How about giving this to me? Of course, as a noble, I won't take it for free. You can ask for anything. "
"This …"
Shaesta suddenly hesitated.
"Qiuluk!! What do you want to do to my maid!? "
Louise's voice suddenly rang out.
Qiuluk and Tabatha turned their heads and saw Louise and Eight-cloud Ink walking towards them together.
"Yo, little brat from the Vallier family, since when did Shesta become your maid?"
"Just last night!"
Louise walked in front of Qiuluk, raised her head and waited for Qiuluk without showing any signs of weakness.
"Miss Louise, Mr. Yakumo!"
Seeing the two, Shaesta quickly bowed.
"You're very serious."
Eight-cloud Ink looked at Shaesta, who woke up early in the morning to train, and laughed.
As expected, this maid was a very hardworking person.
"Um … Thank you for the compliment, but I don't deserve it."
Shaesta lowered her head with a red face.
"Hmph!" Qiuluk and Louise snorted in dissatisfaction at the same time.
Tabatha held the piercers and walked in front of Eight-cloud Ink and asked, "How do I use this?"
"You're interested?"
Tabatha nodded and did not say anything.
Eight-cloud Ink turned to look at Shaesta. "Shaesta, how's the practice I taught you?"
Shaesta said softly, "Although I remember the moves very clearly in my mind, it's still very awkward to use. I can't do it well … I'm really sorry!!"
Towards the end, the little maid bowed and apologized profusely.
"It's okay, after all, I just taught you last night. Just practice slowly."
Eight-cloud Ink did not make things difficult for Shaesta. After thinking for a while, she waved her right hand.
"Succubus!"
Under the shocked gazes of the four girls, two Succubus appeared on the grass.
"What kind of magic is this?"
"They look so powerful …"
Chuuk and Louise cried out in surprise.
Tabatha pushed her glasses up, and under the morning light, her glasses seemed to make a "bam!" sound.
She casually took the piercers from Tabatha's hands and threw them to one of the Succubus. Eight-cloud Ink then let the two Succubus fight each other.
Succubus were better at using their claws to attack because their claws had a corrosive effect.
However, under the control of Eight-cloud Ink, she was able to exert some of the power of the piercers.
Seeing the two Succubus attacking and defending each other, the girls' eyes lit up.
"So, so powerful …"
Shaesta murmured.
"Can I be that powerful too?"
After dispersing the Succubus and returning the piercers to Shaesta, Eight-cloud Ink encouraged her, "Of course you can."
"Right!"
Louise suddenly remembered something and clapped her hands as she looked at Eight-cloud Ink and said, "Yakumo, can you perform this at the evaluation meeting?"
"Evaluation meeting?"
"Yes!"
Louise nodded. She could almost see the scene where everyone was amazed by Eight-cloud Ink and she won the championship.
"It's the demonic tamed exhibition for all the second grade students. Her Royal Highness will also be there!"
Eight-cloud Ink noticed that Louise's entire body glowed when she mentioned "Her Royal Highness".
It seemed that this "Her Royal Highness" was very important in Louise's heart.
However —
"You're not … asking me to perform like a monkey on stage for people to evaluate, right?"
At this point, Yakumo shook her head.
"That's out of the question."
"Wha-?"
Louise immediately showed an aggrieved expression.
"Why?"
"There's no why, little girl. Although this contract exists —"
Eight-cloud Ink waved her left hand.
"— But it doesn't mean that I really treat you as my master. In this world, no one is qualified to be the master of the Yakumo family."
"Coo —"
Louise, who more or less understood Eight-cloud Ink's temper, immediately shook her lips and squatted on the ground, feeling sorry for herself.
"Why is the summoned demonic tamed beast so disobedient … Boohoo …"
Seeing Louise like this, Chuuk mercilessly laughed.
The little girl's sad appearance gave Eight-cloud Ink a headache. Finally, she said, "Forget it, I'll throw you two Succubus for you to perform. If you really can't do it, I'll give you a Charm Card to play with. It's impossible for me to go on stage myself."
"That's fine too!"
Louise, who saw how the two Succubus fought each other, immediately agreed.
— Even if it was just a Succubus on stage, she was sure that she would win!
As for the "Charm Card", Louise didn't care.
But soon, she realized how stupid it was to ignore the "Charm Card".
