POV: Kirigaya Kaizo

"Ughhh!"
"Kaizo!"
"Kaizo's."
When Kaizo woke up, there were the faces of two girls before his eyes.
"Victoria, Tiana?"
"Good, you're awake."
"You're too reckless, stupid."
It seemed like he used his holy power excessively and fainted. After waking up from the cold ground, Kaizo looked around.
The flickering light from the spirit crystal faintly illuminated the darkness. The tunnel had collapsed and it seemed like the road was completely blocked by the falling ground and sand.
"You two, are your wounds okay?"
"Yes, we, are you okay?"
"Ah, I only slightly used my holy power excessively. What, am I worrying you?"
"I-idiot, not like I'm worried or anything!"
"Ouch!"
Victoria's palm landed a crushing blow right in her wound. Kaizo squirms in pain.
"Aiyo, what are you doing?" Tiana sighed in amazement.
Kaizo pressed her aching shoulder as she scanned the surroundings and asked, "Is the other safe?"
"Yes, although it's hard to say that they're safe. For now, I've given them emergency care."
As Tiana lifted the lamp, the sightings of Eve and the others lying on the ground could be seen. Their condition certainly can not be said 'safe' completely.
Rin and Misha, who received the poison directly, are in an unconscious critical condition. Eve seemed to be conscious, but it seemed that walking was impossible under such conditions. Next to Aura, who was leaning and sitting on the wall, Fenrir licked his master's wounds.
"What really happened to him, Noah Alnest?"
"Tiana released a spirit sealed within the spirit crystal. He was swallowed into the pillar of light and disappeared. Well, even though I don't think he's dead."
"Is that a spirit crystal?"
As Kaizo faced towards Tiana, she nodded with a response, "Yes".
"However, a spirit crystal that could seal such a spirit,"
It was the destructive force that forced Noah Alnest's Thanatos to retreat, and made the tunnel collapse.
That holy spirit that Tiana released, was without a doubt a high-tier spirit. However, he had never heard of anything like the existence of spirit crystals and so on that could seal high-tier spirits.
"The Stone Rune of the Blood Queen, a treasure passed down in the Eldant royal family."
"Hey you, you don't know the Blood Queen's Runic Stone either? That's common knowledge for elementalists." Victoria sighed in Kaizo's frowning astonishment.
"You know how else, I'm different from royalty, and I'm not used to things like that." As Kaizo said that, Victoria shrugged her shoulders in disappointment and gave an explanation.
"The Stone Rune Blood Queen is not an ordinary spirit crystal. It could seal a portion of the high rank spirit power with special spirit crystals mined on the Astral Spirit holy ground. Of course, it's not something you can buy with money or power. After all, it was a national-level treasure."
"Is that so?!"
Although her existence has been removed from the royal family, Tiana is the former second princess of the Eldant Empire. The moment she was accepted into the Princess Sizuan Academy, she was probably made to hand it over at the movie screening.
"I have deceived the foolish palace guards and stolen them from the royal family treasure hall. Because I've traded it for an imitation, so it's okay." The princess puffed her chest proudly.
"Ah, I thought it was like that, Hn?"
Incidentally, Kaizo felt a strange feeling that something was out of place. The true identity of feeling out of place was Fianna's chest being pushed out.
(He hid the spirit crystal, the Blood Queen Runic Stone in his chest. Although it was not a big thing, how did he hide it?)
"Ughh! Oh, I-don't see,"
Tiana, who was looking at Kaizo's line of sight, crossed her hands and shamefully covered her chest.
"Kaizo, Tiana, you know, has been cheating us all this time!" Victoria pointed her finger at him in an instant like she was blaming him.
"Craud?"
"That's right, this girl is a fake chest princess!"
Kaizo slowly turned towards Tiana with a flat gaze and asked, "Uh, really?"
"That's right, that's a sanitary pad, is that wrong?" The princess's cheeks flushed red as she answered, and she quickly threw away her face.
"No, there's no point getting angry, but why would you do something like that?"
"To protect the Blood Queen Rune Stone. No one can steal it if it's in my chest. What's more, I heard all the p-men love big-breasted girls, so...."
From the very beginning, his goal of coming to the academy was to ensnare Kaizo and make him his partner. It reminded him, he had come and pressed his chest against her randomly, but was it for such a thing alone.
"No, there are also boys who like girls even though their breasts are small."
"Eh?"
For some reason, Victoria's ears reacted with twitches to Kaizo's words.
"Ka-Kaizo, what you said earlier, is that true?"
"Yes, after all, for each likes the opposite sex. Well, personally, I think rather than not having them, having them is better,"
"Ouch!"
At that moment, Victoria's sharp whip flew.
"You, you!"
"No, what I said just now is my personal thoughts. In this world, there were also many boys with such enthusiastic preferences."
"Luck!" Slight tears appeared on her ruby pupils, as Victoria bit her lips.
(However, that soft feeling is the cushion? I didn't realize it at all. As expected, the technological level of the imperial capital could not be taken lightly.)
Deeply lowering her volume, Tiana clasped her chest, as she muttered, "Although it was my plan to use that Blood Queen Rune Stone at the «Festival of Sword» Style as a trump card."
Although it was not because they were that small. They are almost normal for a girl his age. At least, it wasn't a pathetic chest like Victoria's.
"Eh, what?"
"No, sorry. It's nothing." Kaizo averted her gaze in bewilderment from Victoria, who glared sharply with her teary eyes.
"Ahem," he coughed and turned towards Tiana.
"However, why did you bring such a spirit crystal?"
The spirit and part of its power, released from the spirit crystal, would instantly return to Astral Spirit, unusable.
Therefore, the elementalists, who had contracted spirits, did not use spirit crystals normally. After all, it was more effective to use contracted spirit and spirit magic most of the time in sword style.
As Kaizo asked, Tiana looked down and calmly sighed. "Well, it will be revealed in the end. I'll tell you guys here and now."
Kaizo and Victoria exchanged glances at Tiana's extraordinary serious expression.
"That was four years ago from now, I lost the ability to use my contracted spirit."
