Part 1
「──Nii-san Please wake up I' in」
「Uu, nn……」
There was a light knocking sound and the familiar soft voice of his little sister
After Lux uous reply, the door was opened and a presence approached him
「Good grief, how long are you planning to sleep just because you don't have to do any chores for a while? Today is the day of the periodic medical examination, so please prepare yourself properly」
「N, nn……」
Airi opened the curtain and theThe sunlight shi+ned through and the tranquilair flowed into the room
He was in a room that was made from smooth wood
The interior design gave out a high class atmosphere
This place was the Royal Officer Acadedom
Lux was sleeping in his nostalgic rooirl's dormitory
Lux cleared up his hazy consciousness and lifted up his languid body on the bed
「Airi……? What day is today again?」
「It's January tenth Please wash your face quickly The breakfast in the dining hall will be over soon」
「I see, you're right」
Lux kept sitting on the bed and took a deep breath
Although he still wasn't in his best condition, there wasn't any major discomfort or after-effects in his body
It was a good luck that could be called athrough such fierce battles
「Are you alright, Nii-san? Should I feed you instead?」
Lux ignored Airi's teasing with a wry sether
The breakfast that was made by the capable cook of the Academy was delicious like usual
–
The battle that happened in the abandoned capital Guernica in the Marcafal Kingdom──the final decisive battle that decided the fate of the world
Teeks had passed since then
The representatives of the countries, the Seven Dragon Paladins, Syvalles of the New Kingdohts of the world alliance
All of them made frantic efforts in order to obstruct Listelka and the others, the Lords, fro over the world after their betrayal, and to prevent the hu the world
Many of the elite Drag-Knights fro was that not a single one of the girls was lost in that battle
And then, Singlen's ambition to secretly monopolize Avalon was also crushed, and they were able to obtain Avalon
That victory was the greatest good news
After Lux lost consciousness, the Seven Dragon Paladins including Magialca reached the control room and Aeril connected with the central
She safely coiven by the Autorasped the hidden function of Avalon
First Aeril suspended the resurrection of the hu that and so they temporarily withdrew
For the countries who lost reat war, they had no reason to leave the legacy and technology of the ancient era alone, but everything would co if they excessively forced Aeril who could control Avalon and broke her down
The surveillance of Aeril who becaer of Avalon was carried out in turns by the countries For the tiuaranteed, and then──
It was the New Kingdo entrusted with her
–
「Thank you for the o visit the Triad too after this」
「Yes Please do that, Nii-san」
By the way, the reason Airi was acco him was in order to avoid a situation where Lux was surrounded by the fe his face in the Acade
The existence of Sacred Eclipse and the danger of world destruction itself were also informed to the Academy due to Listelka's incitement, but all the students were also told that Lux and the others headed to the Marcafal Kingdom in order to stop that, and that they had splendidly accomplished it
The students had a lot of things they wanted to ask Lux who they couldn't meet until now because he was in recuperation Surely he wouldn't be able to avoid getting showered with questions
Originally the Acaderoup, the Triad, should be the ones with the role to stop that, but the three were also in recuperation because of serious injuries and fatigue
The pod for medical treaty It beca the minimum treatment to each of the three
Furthermore the main force of Syvalles other than Yoruka──Lisha and the others were returning to their respective homes
Around half of their injuries like broken bones and the like had been recovered, but they were given rest to take away their fatigue too
After parting froht rest afterto the classroo
The first class after New Years for Lux who had been staying in bed all this tian
「Co time since I met with everyone in the class」
Even though it felt uncomfortable when he first caht now he felt happy froirls in his class
「Long time no see, Lux-kun! I heard you saved the world? Thank you!」
「Sheesh…… I wanted to make various chore requests while you weren't here you know? Teachthe reservation」
「Wait, stealing a march just because Tillfur is absent is unacceptable Even us too──」
As expected, the girl classan, but they soon scattered after Instructor Raigree who arrived yelled at them
「Don't cut loose this early after New Years I'll give extra hoht now」
The beautiful young instructor
Raigree's dignified look and atic for Lux
She sent a brief glance at Lux to observe his condition After confir it, she resumed her talk
「At the battle this tidoh the threat fro, all of you have to become fully qualified as an officer as quickly as possible, and becodom in the future」
Raigree's tone was serious
Of course, the cultivation of military officers were also carried out in various places other than in this Academy, but the total number was just too few coht
The Four Great nobles who lent their soldiers for the expedition to the Marcafal Kingdom also lost considerable nu problem for the royal capital
If the New Kingdoon Marauder in this situation, they would be helpless
「This Acade The future of the New Kingdoot it then I'll introduce an adins」
「Eh……?」
The expressions of everyone in the class tensed before the ated into bewilderment
Who would enroll here at this ti?
While everyone was irl entered the classroom
「Nice to meet you I am an imperial princess of the Lords, Aeril Vi Arcadia I will only stay here for a month, but please treat me well」
The one who entered the classrooirl with an androgynous look
The silver hair that was just like Lux was braided and trailed down until her waist Her asymmetrically colored eyes produced mysticity that seemed to transcend humanity
She had showed up in the Acadeuise of Coral, the aide of Vanheion Paladin, but this was her first ti here as a Lord
(No,a skirt!)
She was a full-fledged girl by nature, so there wasn't anything wrong with that, but it was a bit of a shock for Lux
「Err, she is Aeril-san who is a Lord, that means she is that person e heard about?」
「Yeah The person they said became our ally──more importantly, she resembles Lux-kun so much Like her hair color……」
「Somehow, it also feels like she resembles Coral-kun but……she is so cool No She is pretty」
Ah she was enjoying Lux's discomposure
「That's how it is, that's why, once again ards, Lux-kun」
Aeril walked as though she was cutting through the commotion that was created inside the class and sat down near Lux
The students started to become noisy once more at the arrival of the unfalare froan
Of course, the Academy had been informed that Aeril had been cooperative with the alliance army, even so, she was someone who the students had an abundance of topics to talk about
After that it ithout saying that each time there was a short break between classes, the class with Lux with questions
–
Part 2
──At the rooftop of the school building, during the lunch break
Lux along with Aeril made an excuse that there was a summon for the Academy's raid squad Syvalles and escaped to there from the female students
「Just what is going on? Enrolling into the Academy with that appearance──」
「Queen Raffi and Headmaster Relie listened to etting targeted if I'm at a place like the capital」
Although she was in the ure as able to control Avalon right now
It was unknohen hostile forces anted her ability would target her
It seemed that it was decided that it was safer to place her in the Acadeathered rather than the area of the Royal Capital where a lot of its Drag-Knights were lost during the great war
There was also a talk of entrusting her to the Four Great nobles' Dist Ralgris, but if there was his daughter Celistia, as expected he would support Aeril's enrollment into the Academy
「But it's unexpected Contrary to my expectations, everyone accepted Aeril naturally──」
It seemed there was an explanation to the ards to the ht that others would poke a bitperception uise herself as an existence called Coral
「About that, you know, it's just as Lux-kun realized」
She smiled mischievously
One of her eyes that was colored like a jade was the proof of the Baptism she received
She possessed the power tothe Ruin's functions
Using that, regardless of the lack of notification regarding the relation of Aeril and Coral, the students of the Acade that fact
「But, I' perceptionanything further than that I have to make an effort to live as Aeril, besides──I's that I am not」
「I see」
Lux nodded in response to her expression that looked unbound And then Aeril twirled on the spot
The fringe of her short skirt was blown by the wind on the rooftop and it fluttered riskily Lux's gaze darted around from it
The white thighs that peeked out from below the skirt that was held doith both hands looked bewitching Her face that was faintly reddening looked adorable
「…………Did you see?」
「E, err……just for a bit」
The lacey panty with refreshi+ng light blue color suited the androgynous Aeril Though, as expected Lux couldn't declare so
She slightly puffed out her cheeks that was blushi+ng with euess it's fine if it's Lux-kun」
「Looks like I'irl』 in the end It feels windy at irls in the class also told me that I still have a cool atmosphere──」
「That…… you look cute like that」
When Lux unconsciously said that, Aeril's eyes opened wide and her body staggered
Her face reddened even aze aardly
「That girl uniforratulations on your enrollment」
Lux could say that naturally because it wasn't flattery but so that came from his heart
No, with the end of the battle this tie also happened within Lux himself
His feelings towards the girls becaer than before
It wasn't just a deep affection sis towards them as members of the opposite sex
「Thank you…… Aah geez, this is really regrettable」
Aeril replied while acting bashful, but then she turned around with a troubled look
「Regrettable?」
When Lux tilted his head in response, a sh was returned to him
「There is still a bit more until the 『pact』 ends If that's not the case, I'll be able to say it clearly at once, and yet──」
「Eh……?」
Lux felt his heart ju Aeril's pained expression from the side
But, the girl didn't answer back and she looked up to the perfectly clear blue sky before speaking to him
「I guess it's about tio eat lunch」
She directed to hi as Coral
Lux left the rooftop with Aeril even while feeling bewildered at the strange emotion in his heart

Part 3
When the school was over, he teirl's dormitory
He wanted to be together with her a bit more, but Lux had his own business to do
His chore jobs had also piled up like a mountain, but there was a place that he had to head towards no matter what before that
First he headed to a florist inside Cross Field After that he purchased fresh fruits in the market
In the end he returned to the Acadeirl's dormitory It was Airi's room
「This is Lux, can I come in?」
「Yes Please Feel free to enter」
Lux felt relieved inside his heart hearing that indifferent tone without any inflection
In this room there was the roommate and best friend of his little sisterAiri, Noct
In the deadly battle teeks ago, even the Triad participated in the final decisive battle and he heard how they got seriously injured
Fortunately their injuries see they could recover from, even so, they were the people who he wanted to meet first where he also wanted to say his thanks to the themselves in order to protect Airi
「Then, excuse me──wait, uwah」
As soon as he opened the door, he saw the figure of three girls and got bewildered
He coht that there was only Noct inside, but contrary to his expectations, all the Triad were there
「Long tireat that you are healthy Fua……」
He discovered Noct looking unusually sleepy Perhaps she had been sleeping until just now even though it was evening already
She earing a light green paja a pillow that looked like a cushi+on
Somehow, her appearance looked somewhat fancy
「Forgive htly appearance I was only finally allowed to move from the medical room to here」
It seemed Noct who came from a family of servants was e up
It was cute how her cheeks were slightly red while her face stayed expressionless
「You don't need to feel bothered about that Noct looking slovenly like thisprecious」
「Lux-chi, your wording sounds indecent soirl faction?」
On the other side, Tillfur, as lightly dressed with clothing that had a black color base was speaking out to him from the chair beside the bed
Different froree by the hibernation pod, there was a splint re on Tillfur's one hand
But, her consciousness was clear It seee between each of them
Lux s that his feelings towards therown
It was also like that towards Aeril before this, but perhaps after the battles had reached an end, sohtened with comfort
「Oh dear, to think Tillfur can speak like that in spite of you being the one who hurriedly dressed up after hearing that Lux-kun will visit here Even though you were still sleeping with bedraggled hair only in your underwear just now」
「Aaah, Sharis! Even though I told you not to say that in front of Lux-chi! Geez, I won't lend you a hand anymore no matter how troubled you are!」
