Part 8

After a while, Eco released Ash and flew back into the room.

"Uuu ~ ~!"

She seemed to be troubled. Perhaps embarrassed by her own actions just now, Ash felt that her every movement was very entertaining. The most surprising thing was that she actually took the initiative to make the bed. Even that deserved a praise, but still the work done couldn't be something called good. But still, Ash was glad from the bottom of his heart. Because of that push, Eco could now automatically do the house chores.

“That’s right; I had bought some snacks for you." smiled Ash cheekily while placing a bag of Crepes on Eco’s hands.

"This is the vanilla flavored crepes. It is your favorite, right?"

Once said, Eco’s stomach growled loudly. Perhaps it was rude to describe the sound was earth-shattering, but the way it sounded could only be made by a dragon. Eco suddenly blushed.

"M-My favorite flavor is Ansal!"

Then she snappily said as if to cover up the embarrassment. Looking at Eco who was finally back to her usual reactions, Ash finally calmed down. Eco, as if she had risen to heaven, tore out the wrapping papers. Although the shapes had changed because they were dropped on the floor just now, but Eco didn't even mind one bit and just gave it a bite.

"How does it taste?"

Eco didn’t answer. She could be seen with her mouth stuffed with crepes and stay motionless.

"....Anything?"

Without warning, there were tears dripping from her eyes which made Ash panic.

"Hey hey, does it really taste so bad to the point you need to cry?"

"That’s not it..."

Eco shook her head and silently ate the crepes.

Part 9

Eco who ate three crepes alone sat on the bed and quietly explained the whole story.

"This morning ... I had a dream."

"What dream?"

"A horrible nightmare... It seems that I was attacked by a Necromancia. It stretched it’s tentacles towards m-me... The reason that I wet the bed... I am afraid it is because of this."

Eco shivered and grabbed her shoulders with both hands. It must be terrifying in her dream. Ash wanted to try helping Eco to overcome her fear. After a deep thought, he finally stretched out his trembling hand and move towards her shoulders from behind. He then gently held those glass-like shoulders. Not only did Eco not refuse, but she was also relieved and leaned her body on Ash’s. This is the first time Ash saw her to be so cute and docile. Under such warmth, his heart was racing.

"The Necromancia had been beaten by us! You need not fear it!"

"No, it wasn't Necromancia." said Eco feebly shaking her head.

"It true that the monster looked like Necromancia... but it is not the same. That monster... is not something that can be defeated easily, not to mention it has nine eyes."

Nine eyes. Just imagining it will give people the creeps.

"How should I describe it... it was gigantic and its look was unknown... it is absolutely the incarnation of evil. And.... the most incredible thing is that though I shouldn't have recognized that monster... I feel that we have encountered each other several times before."

"How could that be? If you came in contact with such a dangerous monster, I would have found out. After all, we live under the same roof."

"I guess you're right."

"It was just a dream. I advise you not to think too much about it."

"But..."

Eco looked unusually depressed. At this time, what should I do? While clutching Eco’s shoulder, Ash was secretly thinking.

...... The memories of his hometown suddenly surfaced.

Ash has a sister. When she was a child, she often came crying to Ash complaining about her nightmare. Whenever she had a nightmare, his sister would sneak into his room. Ash could still remember his sister hugging his personal pillow while crying. Once Ash agreed to let his sister squeeze into his bed, she murmured while half crying and half laughing, "I’m no longer scared”..

“-I know what to do!”

Ash had made up his decision and was ready to perform tonight's operation.

Part 10

Once it was time for lights-out, the students in the dormitory put out the Bright Dragon Crystal lights. Ash was no exception. If he was to be caught with the lights on, he will be lambasted by the warden. Eco as usual was lying on the bed naked. He will sleep on the same bed with Eco tonight- this was Ash’s plan. However once it is time, all he could think about was Eco’s naked body. To build up the courage to sneak into a naked girl’s bed, it was near impossible. However, today’s Eco couldn't be compared with her past. The Eco now was a poor frightened girl who had a nightmare.

As long as he considered her as his sister, there would be no longer any problem. Even when she was naked the room was still dark. If he didn't focus his thought on this, then this problem would be immediately solved. After Ash ensured himself, he crawled out from the futon from the floor. With a pillow under his arm, he walked towards the side of the bed.

"Please excuse me!"

After a slight notice, Ash got into the empty space next to Eco. The thin summer blanket felt somewhat nice and warm because of Eco’s body temperature. The only thing is, make sure not to touch Eco’s naked body

"W-What are you doing? What are you up to!"

Once she discovered Ash climbed on the bed, with a look of horror, Eco rushed to keep their distance.

"Do not worry. I’ll stay with you for tonight."

"What?"

Ash was confused. He did not expect such a response from Eco. He thought that she would be grateful. His confidence that he previously built up was collapsing.

"Err, I just want to accompany you while sleeping so you’ll no longer wet the bed-"

"....What did you say?"

Eco slowly sat up. Although the room was too dark to see Eco’s naked body...... but her curves could still be seen. But now was not the time to feel nervous. It was now an alarming situation. And Ash’s instinct was now ringing.

"Do you really think...? I might commit the same embarrassment?"

Eco's voice trembled. She was apparently very furious about it. When Ash found out that he had spoken the wrong thing, it was already too late to take it back.

"Err-err... In short please calm down first. I didn't meant anything bad for saying those things-"

Unfortunately, Ash failed to finish his sentence.

"Don’t get carried away!”

With a ‘Donk!’, he was hit by a violent kick.

‘Gwak!’

Ash as if being hit by a hammer was knocked back for quite a distance. Fortunately, he fell on his futon and at least he was avoided from feeling the pain for being hit directly on the floor.

"Hmph!"

After Eco snappily grunted, she lay back on her bed. It seemed that Ash made a huge mistake. But having said that, since she had the spirit to cause such a fuss, perhaps she had gotten rid of the nightmare. At least, Eco who sent Ash flying with a kick was back to her formal self.

Part 11

The next day after school...

President Rebecca, Silvia of Discipline, Max of Accounting and as the replacement for the secretary, Ash and Jessica of General Affairs as well as the mascot Eco were gathered in the Student Council’s office.

Secretary Lucca and the vice president who was like a genius from the outer world were also absent today. Perhaps last night's incident had a positive effect; Eco was back to her old self. She wore a summer uniform borrowed from Cosette and attended the meeting as if she had something to do with it. Eco’s duty was just simply playing the role of a mascot which had no need to attend meetings, but she was back to her old-self who didn't let anyone to leave her by the side. Of course Eco’s well-behaved attitude yesterday was full of charm, but the lively Eco still suited her best. Ash believed so.

"Today's topic is on the student council secretary, Lucca Sarlinen."

Rebecca looked around at the faces with her sharp eyes.

"Sooner or later she would become the soul to lead the school. But right now she should not be troubled by this obstacle. I personally strongly hope to solve the problem as soon as possible and take her to participate in the training camp."

The first person to respond to this was Jessica.

"I can understand that you are worried about her, but what can we do to help? I think that it is better to let Angela-sensei handle this problem..."

Anyhow, Angela was a person who acted as the highest research authority on dragons. She should have the ability to teach in the highest institution and was extremely talented. Ash also agreed with Jessica’s views.

"Unfortunately, I had discussed with Angela-sensei about it. Basically, the person who is responsible for finding out that the astral between Lucca and Gawain had been cut off was none other that Angela-sensei."

"Based on Angela-sensei's judgment, what is the cause of it?"

Once Ash asked, Rebecca shrugged her shoulders.

"It seems that she also can do nothing about it."

"How could...!"

For those who did research on the dragons, there is almost not one who is in the same league as Angela. When the well versed Angela couldn't do anything, what help would the student council be?

"The situation is indeed desperate, but we cannot just stand aside idly. If it goes on like this, sooner or later it would be a certain death for Gawain who will run out of Astral."

Those heavy words made Ash shudder again.

"All of you are elite students; do you have any good suggestion?"

Jessica was the first to raise her hands.

"In times like this, we should ask ‘Silver Knight’-sama to make his appearance! No matter how difficult the situation is, ‘Silver Knight’-sama can use his wisdom, courage and magic to solve them! Right, Ash-sama! "

"The ‘Silver Knight’ that you are talking about is the one in the novel, right? To confuse him with me would be a little too..."

"Waa... Even the humble Ash-sama looks handsome!"

Jessica was not bothered by the presence of others and hugged Ash’s head tightly. Because Ash was sitting on the chair, his face sunk into Jessica’s breast.

"...Uwaa!"

In contrast to her slender waist, Jessica's breast were rather large. The breasts changed their shape softly and had covered Ash’s cheek.

"Wait a minute! This guy is my meat slave! If you dare to continue to stick to him, I’ll have you crushed!"

Upon seeing this, Eco immediately suddenly stood up. Incidentally, the ‘meat slave’ here had absolutely no indecent meaning. It meant to supply its master with food when its master was hungry.

"T-To have such unsightly behavior in the sacred student council office... As a knight, you should have known that there must be a distance between men and women! This is the Lautreamont family’s rules!"

Even Silvia was also feeling angry and stood up straight.

"Enough!."

Fortunately, Rebecca intervened to prevent anything bad from happening.

Silvia and Jessica returned to their seats. Perhaps Eco instinctively sensed some danger coming from Rebecca, she obediently sat down and didn't even dare to say a thing.

"Jessica, can’t you calm down a little?"

Rebecca warned by calling her name, but Jessica just snappily answered.

"Hmph... You only know how to complain about others, what about yourself? You only know how to seek opinions from others and didn't even give your own views...... you are not acting like Rebecca Randall. Or is it that even the ‘Scarlet Empress’ is also unable to do anything?"

"My idea? It is not that I don’t have any, but it is risky."

"Risky... what do you mean?"

Jessica was surprised. Somehow, Rebecca gave a stabbing like look to Ash. Her emerald eyes were intently staring straight at him which almost stopped his heartbeat.

"Ash, you are said to be able to ride all dragons. Even the Necromancia is no exception, right?'

"Rebecca... san?"

Ash gulped, waiting for Rebecca to give out her order.

"Go and ride Gawain."

"What did you say!"

"When you were riding the Necromancia, you sensed its will, right?"

"Uh... just faintly."

The memories resurfaced. In fact, Ash had heard the dead grey dragon speak. Even though it had happened at the beginning of last month, Ash still felt like it had happened for a long time.

"So, I hope you can use the same technique on Gawain. Gawain might be willing to open his heart to you."

Ash remembered about Lucca. Even when yesterday was a weekday, she hid herself in her room in broad daylight, wearing pajamas. Perhaps she was poor in expressing her emotions; she didn't look as if she was greatly depressed. However, she should have received a huge blow. Maybe, this has a thing or two that was related to the Eckbald.

-I want to save her. thought Ash sincerely.

Is it because I am her senior in the same school? Is it because that we are fellow breeder? A Student council's member’s responsibility?

Those reasons could not be denied. However, even if those factors were to be cast aside, Ash just couldn't sit back and watch a helpless girl to continue languish. Ash decided to obey his feelings deep inside.

"I understand. I am willing to gamble for it."

"Thank you for your cooperation. Then, the task is scheduled to be performed after school tomorrow-"

Part 12

The next day, the ringing of the noon bell also signified that the school had ended for the rest of the day. Because there was a staff meeting in the afternoon, they only had classes for the morning session.

“Kuu… Kuu…”

Eco, who sneaked into the classroom today, occupied the seat next to Ash. Like usual, she was lying on the table fast asleep. Even when the bell had rung, she still didn’t have signs of waking up.

"I... really don’t know how to deal with her."

Since she wanted to sleep that much, there really was no need to come to the classroom... Ash secretly complained. Leaving the issue aside, Eco’s sleeping face was like an angel. Every time he saw her sleeping face, his heart became soft and forgave her usual bad behavior. Even Ash himself felt strange. Looking at her soft face, Ash suddenly had the thought of poking her.

"-To be peeking at a girl’s sleeping face, you really have a low taste."

For someone to suddenly speak from behind, Ash almost jumped.

"Princess?"

Many students who had begun to pack up and go home, gave a surprised look at Silvia. For her to start a conversation with someone in the classroom was like the sun rising from the west. Silvia was not bothered by the rest and continued to just stare at Ash. Her ice blue coloured eyes were as if they are gently swaying.

"Do you really intend to ride... Gawain?"

"Why ask me this question now?"

"B-Because..."

Silvia looked aside, suddenly revealing an anxious look. Silvia who was usually noble and acted highly, somehow looked very cute as she suddenly blushed.

"Well, that... I-I just..."

"Just?"

"N-Nothing! Just don’t try too hard! In the end, this is Lucca and Gawain’s problem. If you intervene and result in a heavy injury... I will never forgive you! "

Silvia finished her confusing talk, she suddenly turned around and walk off. Her gorgeous shiny blonde hair swayed gently with the wind. Leaving a faint fragrance, Silvia marched out of the classroom.

"She... What is she angry about?"

Ash watched Silvia’s back blankly.

Part 13

The top floor in the center tower in the campus. While facing the student council members who gathered in the student council office, Rebecca announced loudly:

"So, I’ll announce your work today, I’ll first go to the Seventh Dragon House and explain it to the staffs, Max is responsible to look for Angela-sensei, because basically we must have a teacher to be present while doing the job. Ash, Eco, Silvia, Jessica are to meet with Lucca. Are there any other questions?"

Jessica was the first to raise her hand and comment.

"To fetch Lucca over, a person is enough."

"Do not underestimate her. Just to just drag her out of her room, should cause enough trouble for you. She is an absolute indoor type[3], it is just that this incident had intensified her symptoms."

After listening to Rebecca's answer, Jessica sighed.

"Haa.. I understand. We will take responsibility to bring her out. Princess also doesn't have any problems with this, right?... Princess?"

Silvia seemed like she had just come out of her trance and raised her head to reply:

"Ah, ahh.... Understood."

Since she had spoken those confusing words in the classroom, Silvia looked lost. This made Ash worry endlessly

"So I’ll be waiting for everyone to report in the Seventh Dragon House. Members report. Kaisan!" [4]

Part 14

"Lucca-san... Lucca-san! Are you in there! Please answer me!"

Jessica was shouting while knocking. But there was no response.

"Don’t know what had happened to her?"

Jessica stiffened her face, while looking at Ash and the rest. It seemed that she was not certain on what she was going to do next. Eco who lost patience, impatiently lifted her feet.

"For a paper thin door like this, why don’t we just-"

Eco intended to use her abnormal dragon strength to break the door.

"Hold on!"

Ash quickly stopped Eco.

"Do you know who is going to pay for it after you break them! Please do not do anything necessary!"

"Hey! How dare you try to order me when it is obviously me who is taking care of you? Meat slave!"

"Who is your meat slave!"

"What are you arguing about...?"

Silvia who arrived a little later was dumbfounded when Ash and Eco were quarreling. Silvia was holding a silver key.

"I guessed that might be the case, so I borrowed a spare key from the warden."

"Just as expected of our princess."

Jessica took the key and inserted it into the key hole.

"Lucca-san I am going to open the door!"

The door opened with a ‘Click’ and Jessica marched into the room. Sure enough, Lucca was fast asleep in her coffin. Although the room was filled with the smell of incense like yesterday, she seemed to have followed Rebecca's instruction to control the amount of smoke.

"I don’t really get her... to be sleeping in broad daylight."

After Jessica complained, she pulled back the half-opened curtains. The noon sunlight had filled the room.

"Uuu... Nnn... Stop... I’m going to melt..."

Lucca muttered and then rolled over. The hem of her one-piece pajamas lifted up and her snow-white lower body was exposed.

"......!"

Lucca was without her panties. Ash saw her small and rounded hips. On her ass was her Seikoku - the contract with the dragons.

"Hey! I forbid you from staring!"

Silvia grabbed Ash's head and twisted it regardless.

"Ash-sama you mustn't peek! If you like hips this much, then it is fine for you to look at mine!"

On the other hand, Jessica was lecturing something that was off topic to him while helping Lucca with her pajamas.

"Uuu..."

At that time, Lucca finally woke up and like an electric doll slowly sat up. Then, with her dreamy eyes, she looked around with a shocked expression..

"....Who are you?"

"We just met yesterday!" commented Ash. She really was a perverse girl.

Logically speaking, anyone will get a shock when some stranger walks into their room. But, she was completely unmoved. Is this a behavior of an Eckbald or Lucca's own- It feels like the latter, or else the Eckbald would have perished long ago.

"Ah, I remember. You are Johnny?"

"Who is Johnny! That name has nothing to do with me. I am Ash, Ash!"

"S-Sorry."

Lucca disappointedly lowered her shoulders.

"Hey! This is outrageous. How dare you bully a girl from a lower grade! Buzz off!"

Silvia who looked flustered stepped forward. She with her golden thread-like hair and highly tone ordered her without any explanation.

"Lucca Sarlinen we need cooperation from you and Gawain. We will immediately head to the Seventh Dragon House, please get ready."

Lucca looked straight into Silvia's face as if she was going to pierce a hole in her face. After a long while, Lucca murmured:

"Who are you?"

“Wha…!”

After hearing that, Silvia turned pale. She probably didn't expect someone from this school to not recognize Silvia Lautreamont the fourth princess from the Knights royal family. She moved around unsteadily as if she had suffered a serious blow , while muttering facing the wall.

"T-There is a student who does not recognize me... Is my presence such unimportant... Am I not fit to be a royal... I'm ashamed to face Onee-sama who came here to motivate me..."

"That, Princess are you okay?"

Jessica rushed to Silvia’s side. While letting Jessica to comfort Silvia, the hope was now on Ash and Eco. Regardless of anything, they must drag her out from her bed to the Seventh Dragon House. At this time, Lucca seemed to have a strong interest in Eco. She suddenly clung to her waist tightly.

“Huh…!”

Eco who was attacked lost her footing and was dragged into the coffin shaped bed by Lucca.

"Wait... What are you doing!"

Eco naturally became furious, but Lucca was not bothered by it. She held Eco who fell on the bed and drag her closer. Then, she stared at her head closely. It seems that she had taken interest in Eco’s pair of horns.

"This is not decoration... It grew out from the head?"

"What if it is! This is my proof of being a Dragon!"

"Cute."

"Huh?"

"Very cute."

"I-Is it......?"

Eco was probably shy and thus gave up on resisting. Lucca as if taking care of a baby, gently stroked Eco’s horn. Halfway through that, Lucca suddenly came out with a ridiculous request.

"Can you give me your horns?"

Eco became transfixed in fear, but then it was followed by her expression of ferocity.

"What? Want me to give the my horns to you... you're dreaming!"

"Can’t you pull them down?"

"Pull them down! What do you think a dragon horn is!"

"Otherwise, can I taste it?"

"What? Taste?... Hyaa!"

Eco gave an eccentric voice and then remained motionless. Ash was also dumbfounded by what he just saw. Lucca hugged Eco from behind, then bit the horn on the head. The way she was tasting Eco’s horn was like a small animal nibbling its owner.

"Ah... don’t bite my horn...!"

Surprisingly, Eco didn’t even resist, but she showed an exhausted expression and let her do whatever she wanted. The seductive expression on her face made Ash’s heart race. Apart from her face, even her limbs were dyed a vague hint of pink.

"W-What are you doing to a honourable and noble dragon... what are you doing... W-Watch out or else I will trample you... Ahh, huff...!"

Her cheeks were red, judging from her panting. Perhaps she was trying her best to resist.

"S-Stop...... P-Please spare me...... Awu!"

Eco’s body shuddered and lifted her chin. Desperately trying to escape, she inadvertently bent her knees which lifted her skirt. The white cloth could be seen.

"-!"

Ash was dumbfounded but he quickly looked away. Although her position made imagination run wild, Eco who was under Lucca's control didn't realize that her panties were exposed. Two girls were entangled in the coffin-like bed. That alone will enough to cause a nose bleed. Anyway, who would have thought by biting her horn, she would become weak... Ash concealed his surprise after finding out another Eco’s weakness.

"...It really has the taste of a dragon."

Soon, Lucca who was finally satisfied released Eco.

Eco seizing that chance, immediately jumped out of the coffin and hid behind Ash. She just stuck a face out and stared fiercely at Lucca. Looking like she was almost out of breath, it was as if she was a beast that lost her fight.

"Well... I'll continue with my sleep."

Lucca was totally not bothered by Eco’s sight. She comfortably lay herself flat in the coffin.

"You still want to sleep!"

Ash came back to his sense and grabbed Lucca's shoulder. Although he was shocked by how thin her shoulders are, now was not the time to retreat.

"Rebecca-san is waiting at the Seventh Dragon House. I beg you, can you please immediately get ready? It is for you and Gawain."

"... What are you going to do to my Pal?"

Lucca's eyes soon become serious. Ash nodded to her firmly and tried to calm her down.

"Rest assured, we will not do anything bad to Gawain."

But rather I am a little worried that I’ll be thrown up far away by Gawain... Ash silently added in his heart.

Lucca stared at Ash’s face for a good while. Then, she finally got up from the coffin.

"...Alright, I'll get ready right now."

"Thank you."

Ash who was relieved tried to express his gratitude to her- However, Lucca without a warning put her hand on the button on her one-piece pajamas. Regardless of Ash’s presence, she unbuttoned them one by one. From her collarbone to her chest area... Her ceramic-like skin was exposed bit by bit.

"Wait a minute!"

Ash rushed to seize Lucca by her shoulders. Lucca stopped what she was doing and looked at Ash face confusedly.

"What?"

It is wrong for her to look at me in the eyes... Ash secretly groaned. Her delicate and charming appearance, nearly had Ash entranced. Her facial features were like a doll, her amethyst-like eyes, pointed ears, and a delicate body that looked like it might disappear with just a touch and a vanilla-like fragrance... It was like everything about her had a mysterious charm, as if something that did not belong to this world. Ash forced himself to look away, and spoke to her in a tone for disciplining children:

"I-I’ll look aside, please hurry up and change, okay?"

Even though Lucca still looked confused, at least she understood his sincerity and gently nodded.

Ash was relieved and turned his back against Lucca. He caught a glimpse of Silvia still being taken care by Jessica from the corner of his eyes. At the same time, she was constantly reciting something like a curse.

"F-For someone to actually not know the princess... which means... My royal family's dignity must be further strengthened..."

In addition, Eco was furious behind Ash.

"How dare she bite my precious dragon horn... T-T-This is a great insult...!"
