As the sun fully set, the sky narrowboat flew towards the spanning coast side city made of sandstone brick with European-themed architecture. The city was surrounded by a tall circular sandstone wall, save for the section directly by the ocean. The sky narrowboat entered the city's air space and flew above it as it headed toward the large castle-looking building on the elevated circular section at the city's centre.
The sky narrowboat descended towards the moat surrounding the estate of the castle-looking building, passing through a thin veil of energy so faint it's only visible when someone is right next to it. The sky narrowboat landed in the moat and floated to the inner side of the moat before the boat shut off. The boat's side door opened and Vestro stepped out of the boat followed by a groggy Miana carrying a sleeping Kousako on her back.
"Meet me at my office-" Vestro managed to say before Alleutia stuck her head out the driver-side window.
"Yeah-yeah, I'll fill out those reports after I've parked my skyboat," Alleutia grumbled before slinking back into the boat. Vestro rolled his eyes and pushed the skyboat's side door shut before the skyboat began to chug away towards the hanger-like dock on the side of the estate. Miana shuffled her way in front of Vestro while hulking Kousako on her back as her legs wobbled.
"Do I have to carry them?" Miana grumbled, her breath hitching as Kousako leaned forward into her.
"Given that Kousako shall be staying in your dorm it only makes sense for you to carry them," Vestro stated as he headed towards the closest entrance into the academy building. Miana whined and complained to Vestro the entire time they walked through the academy halls together until Vestro entered his office.
"Man... I'll let him off with insulting me," Miana muttered.
"Don't sully my character by insinuating I said you don't have any friends," Vestro said from behind the door. Miana loudly huffed before slowly storming off but didn't get very far as Kousako became too heavy. Miana felt her whole body shiver before she collapsed and became buried underneath Kousako.
"They weren't this heavy when they were awake," Minana grumbled as she struggled to slither herself out from under Kousako.
The next day, Miana frantically paced around the common area of her dorm while muttering random phrases in a trance-like state.
"Why won't they wake up?" Miana chanted mentally as her footsteps drummed through the common area. As Miana continued to ponder her options, one of the doors leading to a dorm room opened before Suethia stepped out into the dorm common area with a pout.
(Suethia Shininggale is a slightly tall demi-human bunny[a humanoid with rabbit features]; she has elbow-low curly golden blonde hair with faint ruby red ends, ruby red eyes, long golden blond rabbit ears, a big fuzzy golden blonde rabbit tail, medium breasts, wide hips, muscular thighs, and tanned skin)
(Suethia is wearing a red T-shirt, an open black leather vest, golden silk leggings)
"How could you not follow through with that text-," Suethia whined before pausing upon seeing the sleeping Kousako sprawled out on one of the sofas like a rock, "Who's that?". Miana continued to pace around the sofa, ignoring Suethia due to how deep in her mind she was. Suethia sighed before raising a hand, grabbing Miana by her collar and yanking Miana back to snap her back to reality.
"Oh, Thia," Miana mumbled as she rubbed her neck. Suethia pointed her hands at the sleeping Kousako. Miana gazed between Kousako and Suethia before nervously chuckling.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
"Erm... Master Vestro said they're a new student and would be assigned to our dorm," Miana explained.
"Ah, I see. So, what's with the pacing?" Suethia asked as she placed her hands on her hips. Miana deeply exhaled and pointed at Kousako.
"I've been trying for hours but they just won't wake up!" Miana complained meekly. Suethia playfully rolled her eyes as she thought Miana was being pedantic.
"Come now, Mia, you must be....". Suethia froze mid-sentence as she noticed the various objects scattered across the common area: ranging from books, various music drives(rectangular metal cases filled with threads) and the music player for them, and even Miana's sheathed Gold Level Echelon longsword.
"Did you really hit... her...him with Celestial Edge?" Suethia asked as she picked up Celestial Edge. Miana sprung to her feet while flailing her arms about.
"Of course not! I just tried to poke Kousako with it and before I knew it Celestial Edge was sent flying across the room and knocking everything over," Miana explained adamantly. Suethia sighed and handed Miana Celestial Edge before heading to the kitchen area. Suethia swiftly returned with a slightly damp cloth and placed it before Kousako's nose. Kousako's entire body twitched before they swiftly opened their eyes and sat up. Suethia briefly blinked at Kousako before sighing.
"What a mild reaction, but I guess not everyone would overreact as much as you Mia," Suethia remarked amusedly, making Miana's face turn bright red as the duo recalled the time Miana couldn't stop uncontrollably gagging after smelling smelling salts.
A few minutes later, Kousako stared at the full-body mirror beside the dorm common area's exit and took in their new attire: Kousako was now wearing an oversized black T-shirt, dark blue shorts, black and dark blue checkered leggings, and black boots.
"Sorry about the clothes not fitting perfectly; they're the only clothes I had that somewhat fit you," Suethia said with an apologetic tone. Kousako silently stared at Suethia before tilting their head.
"But what was wrong with the kitsune suit?" Kousako asked.
"You mean the onesie?" Miana asked as she was brushing her hair. Kousako nodded their head leading to Suethia sighing.
"You can't wear bed clothing in public, dumb-dumb," Suethia stated as she reached to open the exit to the hallway.
The trio walked through the halls of Abisuthegale Echelon Academy, Kousako clinging to Miana's hand as the group arrived at a divergence in the hallway.
"Alright, you just need to keep heading forward until you come across Master Vestro," Miana explained as she released her grasp from Kousako's hand. Kousako stared at Miana
"But mother said Kousako shouldn't walk outside by themselves," Kousako stated. Suethia tilted her head in confusion at Kousako's statement.
"But we're inside right now," Suethia remarked. Miana rubbed the back of her head as she wondered how she could convince Kousako to walk by themself. She continued to ponder as a set of footsteps approached.
"I'm sure she only said that to stop you from wandering off from her," Vestro remarked as he stood before the duo, with Kousako already standing beside Vestro before the two girls registered Kousako's movement.
"When did they?" Miana muttered before she noticed Vestro waiting with an expression implying for her to pay attention.
"As long as you two don't overthink things, you'll easily pass your examination test," Vestro stated, leaving the two girls to awkwardly/nervously chuckle. The two bidded Kousako and Vestro farewell before they headed down the hallway Vestro hadn't come from. Kousako grabbed onto Vestro's hand, making him sigh exhaustedly as he turned around and led Kousako back the way he came from.
A short walk later, Vestro led Kousako into a large room filled with first-year academy students. The students muttered among themselves as they watched Vestro walk in while Kousako held his hand.
"Why are they holding the hand of the Sovereign of Elves?" One of the students whispered to another. Vestro guided Kousako to the front of the students before he turned to face the students as Kousako let go of his hand.
