Chapter 415

Once again, Sacred Beasts are incredible beings.

“Well, that. We did get exposed immediately in the end, but being able to eat delicious meals like this is a blessing in disguise!”“Yes… truly… it’s a time of bliss.”

Byakko-sama laughed as he chomped down on Onigiri, while Suzaku-sama ate quietly with a melting smile.

“Fools. It will get troublesome for Miss Cristea from now on. We are pathetic for having you feed us like this… forgive us, Miss Cristea.”“Don’t mind it, Sei. You also didn’t have a good appetite, right? Eat up, eat up.”

I pushed the food towards Sei who bowed his head apologetically, poured tea to everyone’s cups, and sat on the sofa.

“It was a disaster for you guys too, huh. I didn’t think I would be exposed this fast.”“That can’t be helped. Weak monsters are often cowardly and overly sensitive to strong existences. Well, they wouldn’t be able to escape otherwise. We also didn’t think that something like that would be living at the academy.”

Byakko-sama shrugged his shoulders.Which reminds me, Kaguya was also extremely frightened by Byakko-sama’s existence and tried to hide in fear.

“True. Though we wouldn’t even pay attention to a small fry like that in the first place. Those kinds of fries generally run away from us anyway. Just because of the miscalculation that was the guy called Neil, it didn’t run away… no, would saying that it couldn’t escape be the more precise?”“It couldn’t escape?”

Satisfied by the food, Suzaku-sama who slowly proceeded to pour herself a cup of tea nodded to my question.

“Yes. That monkey is not a contracted beast, but an enslaved one. They are not under a contract like us, it’s being forcibly enslaved. It couldn’t escape from us most likely because of the orders it received.”

According to Suzaku-sama, Timid Monkeys seem to be the weakest kind in the monster society(?).Detecting threats and quickly running away is apparently their specialty.Despite that, it detected us but it was making a ruckus instead of running away, so Suzaku-sama believes that it was ordered to do that with a magic command.It certainly didn’t escape but make ruckus instead when it encountered us as well.It didn’t seem like Teacher Neil heard its telepathy, but it was berating him for being “idiot” while hiding itself behind his back… I wonder if this little guy was putting up some resistance?

“This fellow called Neil is utilizing the nature of that monkey.”

Kurogane said annoyingly and Byakko-sama who finished eating poured himself a cup of tea, added.

“That seems to be the case. There seem to be countless of people bringing pets with them without authorization, so he’s regularly patrolling around, or that’s at least what he said.”

Ah~… there’s no way he wouldn’t find us then.That’s why Oniisama seemed so unimpressed at that time.That’s what he meant by being found sooner or later, huh…

“Well, it’s troublesome that we couldn’t keep the contracts secret, but you weren’t rejected from enrolling, and the headmaster seemed like he would do a good job reporting to the country, so you guys don’t have to worry that much!”

Byakko-sama encouraged me with a wink while I was looking far into the distance.Even if you tell me that, the headmaster is going to interview me with my parents tomorrow, so not worrying isn’t possible for me.

“That reminds me, Sei. How did you explain your contracts with Byakko-sama and others to the headmaster?”

Sei is the son of Yahatul’s Emperor, the one who rules over the entire country, but he was raised by a family of a Samurai, and the Empress is after his life.The eldest child from the Empress… Sei’s brother from another mother is sickly, but his mother the Empress wants to make him the Emperor, and killing Sei is one of the steps.Sei who had no ambition of becoming the Emperor fled under his foster father’s recommendation and crossed the ocean to enroll into the Doristan Kingdom’s academy.

Once again, I realized that Sacred Beasts possess tremendous powers and I trembled inside.
