"Master~ what shall we do tonight?"
With a seductive voice, Cerbera spoke to me. (Cerberus name given by Kei because the name Cerberus doesn't fit her anymore)
"Let's enjoy the night together master~"
An angel-like voice spoke. It is Manta(obviously it was the manticore)
Dear Ossan X, are you really trying to test my self restraint?! Do you really want me to suffer this much?
You guys put yourself in my shoes and you'll know how hard it is to endure. I guarantee you that you'll definitely lose your reasoning.
Well anyway. Let me explain to you guys why am I enduring this tempting moment instead of enjoying it. It is because, just the other day one student was caught having sex in his closed door room. You know what it means? It means that there is some kind of device lingering in this academia.
There's no way I'm gonna sacrifice my reputation that easily. I promise that once I'm out of this place I will definitely enjoy this two beautiful woman.
"Summon Return"
My shadow suddenly became large and devoured this two epitome of temptation.
Tsurara has been silent for awhile now, seems like there is something going through her mind.
"Tsurara, is there something wrong?"
"E-ehh? No-o there's nothing wrong"
I looked at her face and can see that there's definitely something that's bugging her but I know that it's not the time to ask and just told her..
"Just tell me when you're ready to talk about it, I'm just here. I am your ally"
Hearing my words, her expression softened and she replied
"Yes, Kei-sama"
Seeing that my words comforted her a little I nodded with satisfaction.
"Tsurara, return for now"
When I said those words, Tsurara stepped on my shadow and disappeared.

----------------------------------------
After a few days since the Cerberus incident, no one came to interrogate me or just ask some questions.
Knock Knock Knock!
"Come in"
A school maid entered my room and spoke;
"Kei-sama, Brook-sama and Teacher Vanessa was looking for you"
I stood up and followed the school maid and arrived in Vanessa-sensei's office. The maid then left us three alone. Vanessa-sensei and Brook are both sitting on the sofa while I'm standing in front of them.
"Kei, tell me you're the one who caused our suffering this days right?"
Vanessa-sensei spoke with cold voice;
"There must be some misunderstandings here, I never did anything to you guys"
I replied defending myself despite knowing that the words she said is actually true and that's what they get for getting me almost killed on the Cerberus Incident.
After looking rather indecisive for a while, Vanessa-sensei suddenly said angrily, “How dare you lie to me! Ake-nee was right about this!”
Ake-nee? After wondering for a moment, I understood. She was talking about my mother. She had a rather good relationship with the Royal family, which was my teacher would address her as sister. Though if one went by age she ought to be called aunt, my mother never accepted any address that was older than sister…
After hesitating, I asked, “And what did my mother say?”
Giving me a cold glance, Vanessa-sensei started recounting the conversation.
“What is my son like? Hmm, overall he’s a nice person…that is if you don’t go against him.”
“And what happens if one does go against him?”
“Hmm, you will still think that he’s a nice person. But at the same time, you will have questions along the lines of “Why am I so unlucky lately?” Work on one task and you will manage to fail two, drink cold soup and you will manage to get scalded, eat porridge and you will manage to get choked by bones, walk alone in the corridors in the academia and you will manage to step on bull shit…”
“But how is it possible to be scalded by cold soup? Why would there be bones in porridge in the first place? And how is it possible for bull shit to appear along the corridors in the academia?”
“Hence, my son is a fairly good person overall. That is, if you didn’t do anything against him.”
“You’re not some perfect prince! You’re a filthy, selfish, treacherous person! Even your mother thinks the same,” the Vanessa-sensei said angrily.
My mother! Her examples were absolutely awful; if it was me, I would definitely not do something that was as obvious as scalding someone with cold soup!
“Sensei, even if I’m selfish, do you really believe that I did those things because I'm bored. You guys put me on death's door during the 'Cerberus Incident' You have to expect a little payback.” I replied with a frown.
When I said those words, they became silent. Brook spoke..
"But you won magnificently against the cerberus and even make it sign a contract with you"
"Heh, then you guys magnificently survived my payback so now were equal"
Hearing my words, they both looked at each other and sighed..
"Well, it can't be helped it was our fault last time so we will forgive you for what you've done this past few days"
Remembering their misfortunes this past few days they gave a bitter smile.
The two of them only have one thought in mind; the words of the Queen before she left..
“Let me give you two an advice, even if you’ve unintentionally discovered my son's imperfection, you had better just admit that he’s perfect unless you want to experience his imperfection yourself.”
And with those advice in mind they both decided that they'll never go against the Crimson Prince.
