The bed the school provided felt extremely comfortable. This was probably due to the fact that I haven’t slept in a proper bed for the past 3 years or I was just plain exhausted from the events that happened earlier. Nonetheless, this room is better than what I expected. They rooms were spacious, there was hot water in an attached toilet and best of all, I was sharing it with a cute girl. As I drifted off into the state of being asleep, I felt a slight tug at my shoulder. As my reflexes were honed by the JSF in order to detect threats, I woke up instantly and materialized my Kusari-Kama.
“Wait, it’s just me.” A girl’s voice called out amidst the darkness of the room at night.
“Why what happened, are the Exceeds attacking us again?” I asked anxiously.
“No no, everything’s fine.” Shiho reassured me.
“Oh ok, then what’s the matter? While I am trained by the JSF to survive on less than 2 hours of sleep, I would really appreciate some off time to allow my body to rest since I have the chance.” I said sarcastically.
“Well.., it’s just that.., can I sleep with you?” Shiho asked bashfully while looking like she’s about to die of embarrassment.
“Wait what??” I replied while being surprised.
“Wait don’t take this the wrong way, it’s not that I want to do ecchi things. I just had a bad nightmare.” Shiho explained.
“Huh??” I cocked my head in puzzlement.
“It’s the drawback of my ability, if I overuse it I will get bad nightmares that are so terrifying that I can’t even go to sleep.” Shiho said as she looked like she was about to burst into tears.
“All right then.” I guess she must be so afraid that she wanted someone to comfort her hence I agreed. Another reason was that this was the first time I was going to be sleeping in the same bed as such a cute girl so I had to make the most of the opportunity.
“Thank you.., if you’ll excuse me.” Shiho said as she slipped into my bed with me.
The beds were by no means small but with 2 people lying on it, there was just enough room to prevent both of us from falling down. Shiho at that time was just in her thin nightgown which was pure white and I knew that she was just wearing her underwear under it so I had to control my hormones such that I didn’t get excited when she was in the same bed as me.
I tried to fall asleep quickly so that I wouldn’t lose control of my hormones and do something I will regret or even worse to harm Shiho. Shiho fell asleep almost instantly after entering my bed while I was still struggling to do so as I was not used to having such a cute girl sleep next to me. After about an hour, I finally managed to calm down and fall asleep but I was awoken again by the feeling of something constricting me. I opened my eyes and got ready to attack but I looked around and noticed that it was just Shiho who was hugging me like some sort of pillow. I was about to lose my cool and shrug her off for being woken up the second time when I heard Shiho talking in her sleep.
“Don’t go anywhere, don’t leave me alone, my Savior.”
After hearing that, I decided to just suck it up and tank the suffocating feeling until morning. While I couldn’t deny that being hugged like that felt good, I won’t be able to get any sleep if this happens every day. I looked over at her sleeping face and she looked just like any other regular girl even after the traumatic experience she experienced in the past.
“Who knew that sharp-tongued princess could have such a cute side to her when she’s asleep.” I thought to myself as I eventually drifted off to sleep myself.
The next morning, I was woken up by the bright rays of the sun which shined through the window of my room. I looked at my watch and checked that the time was 0800H and I had to report to home room by 0830H so that gave me about 15 minutes to get ready and another 15 minutes to get to the school building. Shiho who was next to me was still asleep with one hand on my chest. As much as I liked that feeling, now was not the time to enjoy myself as I had to get ready for my first day. I gently lifted her arm off my chest and proceeded to wash up and change into my new uniform which was custom made given that I was the only male student on the island.
My uniform was similar to the female uniform which included a white top but instead of the white skirt, I had white pants. After washing up, I checked the time again and it was 0815H which gave me just enough time to walk to class.
However, there was a problem I just noticed. Shiho was still asleep which meant that she was going to be late and as I heard from her yesterday, students who are late have to serve their punishment in summer classes. I went over and tried to wake her up by tapping her arm but to no avail. I decided to then shake her left and right in view of the lack of time. Eventually, she opened her eyes slightly and looked at her surroundings.
“10 more minutes..” she said as she attempted to drift back into her sleep.
“We don’t have time, we’re going to be late and it’s only my first day.” I explained to her rationally.
“Wear my clothes for me then, I’m too tired to do anything.” Shiho replied while still half asleep.
“Don’t be ridiculous, there’s no way I can do that.” I retorted with a slightly annoyed tone given that my new roommate was about to make me late on my first day.
“Fine then, you’re just going to be late on your first day then.” Shiho said sarcastically while yawning.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
“Restia, I need your help.” I talked to the crystal on my chest in hope that another female could dress Shiho instead.
“No way, I am one of the 7 original high ranking Exceeds and I am not going to be used to dress some girl.” The crystal argued with an annoyed tone.
“Ughh, fine then.” I eventually had no choice but to comply with Shiho’s selfish request.
I went over to her side of our room and opened her closet to search for her uniform. Her closet was honestly neater than I had expected with her clothes organized by tops and bottoms. There were also 2 drawers which I dared not open as I assumed they contained her undergarments despite my interest. I took out one set of her school uniform which consisted of a white blouse with a black miniskirt. I then went over to her bed where she finally sat up probably to assist me in dressing her.
“If you can sit up, you can dress yourself right.” I asked sarcastically.
“Nope, I’m so exhausted after yesterday, don’t you have any empathy.” She retorted with her eyes still partially closed.
“I was going to ask you the same thing.” I thought to myself as I did not want to anger her first thing in the morning.
She then raised her hands in the air which was probably to assist me in taking off her nightgown. I took extra care not to touch her skin at all if possible as I wanted to avoid any unnecessary complaints from her and finally I lifted her white lace nightgown over her head which left her just in her pink underwear. Up close, her skin did look so smooth which reminded me of porcelain but there were the presence of several scars which I assumed were obtained through battles with the Exceeds so I guess she takes good care of her skin befitting of a princess.
I slipped her hands through the arm holes of her blouse and buttoned it up accordingly. The blouse looked like it fit Shiho’s body perfectly so I assumed they were custom fitted for each student which would make it easier for them to fight when needed similar to my own uniform.
Next was the tricky part as I had to wear her skirt without accidently touching any weird places. I slid it up her slim legs and she stood up to let me fasten it on her waist. Throughout the whole process, I was holding in my hormones such that I don’t lose control of my powers accidentally but up-close Shiho was really a cute girl at the end of the day so suppressing my lust was extremely hard.
“There, I’m done, at least wear your own socks and shoes by yourself.” I said in an annoyed tone.
“All right fine.” Shiho then eventually woke up and put on her socks and shoes by herself while also tying her light blue hair in twin tails and we took off to class together.
“By the way, you forgot my garters.” Shiho said to me as we were rushing to school.
The thought of Shiho in garters was so stimulating that I started to flush.
“There’s no way I’m doing that.” I replied while somewhat blushing.
“Tch, you’re no fun. But anyways, thanks for this morning and last night. However, what happens in our room stays in our room got it. I don’t want any weird rumours spreading because of you.” Shiho instructed.
“Yea yea I got it, I don’t wish to be treated like some kind of pervert on my second day here. Anyways, what class are you in?” I asked.
“I’m in the Brunhilde class with the other Regalias so you should be there as well since they place us in classes based on combat ability.” She explained as we just reached the school building.
“I see, I guess I feel relieved that there’s at least someone I know in class so that I won’t be left out.” I said with a smile as I placed my hand on the classroom door and excitedly opened it to enjoy my new normal school life.
When I opened the sliding door with the label of Brunhilde, my dream of having a normal school life shattered. The classroom was a mess and it was damaged everywhere, at its centre were 2 blonde girls who were emitting disturbingly powerful auras and death staring each other.
“Miyu, I am normally indifferent towards your picky eating habits but this is the last straw.” The blonde girl who had her hair tied in ponytail said in a serious tone towards her counterpart whose hair was of a similar colour but tied in twin tails.
“Onee chan, it’s just a sandwich and besides, today is my turn to get the extra piece.” The other blonde girl responded sarcastically.
“Uhh, did we enter the wrong room?” I turned over and asked Shiho.
“Nope, welcome to Brunhilde class. This is pretty much a daily occurrence. Those 2 blonde girls there are Miyu and Mayu and they can start a fight from basically nothing.” Shiho explained calmly while having a slightly annoyed expression.
“I see...” I thought to myself as I searched for an empty seat in the classroom that was currently a damaged mess. The 2 girls who were apparently named Miyu and Mayu were still staring each other down and seemed like their auras were nothing less than impressive.
“Miyu, since you show no sign of repentance, I have no choice but to teach you with my fists the traditional way.” The blonde girl with a ponytail said as the aura she was emitting grew even stronger.
“3-layer Talisman…” Before she could finish chanting her spell, an even stronger energy erupted out of nowhere that made even a seasoned warrior like me flinch. The energy felt familiar and I instantly remembered where I felt it.
“Who is fighting first thing in the morning in my classroom!” A familiar looking petite girl with silver hair erupted in anger. Contrary to her adorable appearance, the aura she was exuding was probably even stronger than mine.
After seeing that outburst, both Miyu and Mayu calmed down probably from fear of the president of the student council and her equally terrifying vice-president.
“She definitely wasn’t kidding when she said that she was the strongest Regalia in the school.” I thought to myself.
Emiri and my sister Kasumi both entered the classroom and they both started lecturing Miyu and Mayu.
“I can’t believe the 2 of you are fighting over something so insignificant again. Maybe I should start using more forceful methods in order to discipline the both of you.” Emiri said in a sarcastic tone with a sadistic grin on her face.
Both Miyu and Mayu immediately gulped their saliva and started apologising profusely to Emiri. Meanwhile, Kasumi approached me and complimented my uniform.
“Good morning Onii-chan, that uniform looks really good on you. I trust you slept well last night?” Kasumi asked cheerily while still maintaining her honour student persona.
“Yea.., I guess you could say that..” I replied as nonchalantly as I can while remembering the interesting night I had with Shiho. I took a quick glance over to Shiho and apparently she heard what Kasumi said as well as I could see her face flushing a little.
Emiri who was done with her lecture then approached me as well and whispered in my ear which was quite a funny scene due to our differences in height.
“Did nothing happen between you and Shiho last night?? I find that quite hard to believe given that both of you are around that age where curiosity would most likely overcome your rational thought.” Emiri said seductively with a playful smirk on her face.
“Someone of your age should not be using such suggestive language, anyways I would be far more interested in doing such interesting things with you.” I replied back in a teasing tone which caught her a little off guard and she started blushing a little.
Shiho who I assumed heard what I said looked a little annoyed at the comment as she probably thought that she was not attractive in my eyes which was not the case.
Before Emiri or Shiho could retort, Kasumi instructed everyone to take their seats as class was about to begin.
