Chapter 21: Aesc the Rain Witch
[Rain Witch pats your head.]
[Although not understanding why she suddenly had such a bold action, she very quickly returned to the shy, timid appearance of a little girl not good at communication.]
"My name is Aesc, witch of Rain Clan."
Rain Witch Aesc shyly introduced herself,
"Although I'm not sure why I came here, it's just like stepping into a fairy tale in Wonderland… cough cough, what am I saying. Was it you who summoned me here, Mochizuki Eikou, this place seems very interesting."
After speaking, she bashfully pulled the brim of her hat lower.
For a girl not good at communication like her, talking with a boy like Eikou truly required a lot of courage.
"Summoner… is there anything I can do for you?"
"..."
It's hard to associate this girl who seems like the girl next door with the lofty, strong, proactive Fairy Queen of the present.
"Right, you can just think of this place as a fairy tale,"
Eikou followed her words, said,
"Today I happen to be free, Aesc, could you go out to play with me for a bit?"
"Go out to play?!"
Just hearing this, Aesc's green eyes immediately lit up,
"Please you must take me along! Is there some lively activity today, you must let me participate!"
As she spoke, she looked exactly like a happy little girl, quickly straightening all the things on her body,
"Cloak done, hat done, staff done! Aesc, ready to set off!"
"..."
Eikou had intended to think of a way to persuade her to go out with him, but seeing her bright joyful face he realized he had worried for nothing.
Morgan, in the past were you ever this innocent, this kind of thing is very easy to be tricked away by strangers!
But Eikou still couldn't help but smile.
Fairy Queen Morgan, so you also once had such innocent and pure times.
"Then let's go, have you thought of where you want to go yet?"
As he spoke, Eikou naturally took hold of her cold white hand, slender and delicate as if it had never done any physical work, it was the hand only a chamber princess would have.
Rain Witch Aesc felt like she was electrocuted, she hurriedly pulled her hand out of his palm.
"That… holding hands is still a bit too soon… too lewd..." Her snow-white face revealed a faint blush.
"..."
Eikou was stunned.
It's just holding hands, does your younger version need to be this pure, Morgan? Isn't your nature that of a woman who actively 'predator' so strongly!
However, looking at her expression it didn't seem like she didn't want it, it was simply that she was shy.
Wait, could it be…
Before it was always Morgan unilaterally bullying and teasing me, but today it seems I might be able to reverse the situation and tease her back!
Just for today, his rank seemed a bit higher.
If that's the case…
Eikou suddenly showed a mischievous smile,
He again took Rain Witch Aesc's hand, face beaming as he led her out of the Magic Workshop.
"Let's go, Miss Witch!" he said with a grin, "Let's go have some real fun together!"
"Uwaaahhh…"
Rain Witch Aesc, blushing, flusteredly held tight to her witch hat while trailing behind him,
"Wait a moment, even if you don't hold my hand I will still obediently follow you!"
Da Vinci, watching from the side as the two quickly left the Magic Workshop, couldn't help but sigh:
"Looks like I understand now, Mochizuki Eikou, this kid really only bullies the weak and fears the strong."
...
At the same time, on the other side of the school building.
The young lady of the Orkney Group, Baobhan Sith, was angrily striding through the school hallway.
Her blazing red hair fluttered, high heels striking hard against the polished hall floor.
"Where on earth is that Eikou!"
She muttered angrily to herself.
"This is truly a huge disgrace, today Mother-sama came to the school as a judge for the Home Economics exam, yet I happened to skip class!"
It's over, surely she has already noticed her absence.
If it were only that it would still be fine, but Baobhan Sith also heard that her mother had received Valentine chocolate from Eikou right in class, and furthermore after the Home Economics class ended no one knew where the two of them went.
No matter how you hear it, it sounds very suspicious, making her feel there was a great danger aimed at her mother.
Although normally the one in danger is Eikou, today in a certain sense, it really was as Baobhan Sith thought.
Suddenly, she saw on the other side of the hallway two figures hurrying along.
Eikou was smiling brightly, tightly holding the hand of a blonde girl, his expression extremely happy and smug.
And the cute girl whose hand he was holding looked both flustered and blushing, the witch hat on her head tilted to one side, completely swept along by his pace.
"Uwuwu… summoner, could you maybe let go of my hand for a moment…?"
She stammered.
"Why," Eikou smiled with feigned innocence, "could it be you don't like being close to me, Morgan? If you don't like it, just tell me directly."
"I just want to fix my hat…" Aesc lowered her head, blushing, she replied softly.
"So that's it," Eikou stopped, he reached out and gently adjusted the hat for her, "now you don't have a reason to refuse me anymore."
"Summoner,"
She spoke a little shyly,
"all this time I've been wondering about your reaction… what exactly is the relationship between you and me (Morgan), why can we do things like this, our relationship doesn't seem normal at all? Could it be you usually also tease an 'other me' like this?"
"Heaven and earth can witness, normally I'm the one being 'teased'…"
"Eh eh eh…" Aesc's small lips parted slightly in surprise, "then what exactly is our relationship?"
"That is…"
Countless answers rushed to Eikou's lips, 'hunter and prey', 'sugar mama and sugar baby', 'engaged couple', each answer seemed reasonable, but none could explain clearly.
Eikou chose the closest answer, then he gently stroked her blonde hair:
"Actually we are lovers!"
"What?!"
Aesc's green eyes widened in astonishment.
"Moreover, not long ago, you even wanted me to marry you tomorrow. That really gave me quite a headache." Eikou pretended to be troubled as he spoke.
"???"
She was so shocked she couldn't utter a word.
Aesc's skin, white as snow and seemingly never touched by sunlight, instantly flushed red, to the point that even Eikou could feel the heat from her body.
"Then… then what about you…"
She pulled the brim of her hat lower, but still couldn't help bringing her pure, lovely face close to his.
"You said you feel headache… is it because you don't want to marry her (me)?"
"No no, it's just that I myself am not mentally prepared yet."
Eikou gently caressed her face, he gave a radiant smile:
"Actually in my heart I'm very happy, because I can feel that I'm being loved by you, Morgan, this truly makes me very happy."
