POV: Kirigaya Kaizo
_____________________________________
By the time they all finished conquering the giant parfait, it was already afternoon.
Kaizo, who had returned from Academy City, appeared in the central auditorium as he had promised Eve. After waiting for a while, Eve came running from afar and was out of breath.
"Sorry, I made you wait."
"No, I didn't wait that long." Kaizo made a bitter smile at Eve who was panting. He then asked, "Hey, Eve, you've just been in Academy City, right?"
"You saw me!?" Twintail Eve swayed as she was shocked.
"Ah, I happened to see you from the restaurant window. Is that the Knights' security guard?"
"No, err, a-I was shopping for a wide variety of items. Ahem," Eve coughed and her face flushed red for some reason.
A question mark appeared in Kaizo's mind, but, it might be fine. Kaizo then said, "For now, if we're going to study, are we going to the library or something?"
"Ah, no, not the library." Eve shook her head in confusion.
"Hn, not the library? Then, are we going to go to an empty classroom?"
"That's in the room."
"Huh?" Kaizo reflexively distrusts his ears.
"A room?"
"I-I mean, err, a-I want you to teach me in my room!" Eve shouted with a reddened face.
"W-Is that okay?" Kaizo looked agitated and she finally realized, "No, hey wait, for a boy like me to enter the girls' room,"
"So-a girl?!" In an instant, Eve made a face like she had lost something in her head for some reason.
"Na-yet, didn't you live with Victoria Blade and the others in the room together?"
"No, well, that's how it happened." Kaizo scratched the back of his head as he replied.
"A-or, you don't want to come to a straight girl's room like me?"
"No-no, there's no such thing!" Kaizo shook his head in confusion as Eve looked slightly injured.
"Then, then,"
"Ah, I understand, I understand. Let me in." Even when Kaizo still did not understand anything, he nodded in a bit of despair.

Just like that, Kaizo was taken to the Eagle Class dormitory. Being the opposite of the Crow Class that gathers superior troubled children, the Eagle Class was a class of diligent underachieving students.
Eve's room was upstairs, up the stairs, on the second floor of the building. Eve coughed at the door. "This is my room. Of course, this is the first time a boy has entered it."
"If you say it like that, I become a bit tense."
Eve opened the room door and muttered a mantra in tongues.
* ᚲ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛉ ᛋ ᛗ ᛜ ᛟ ᛈ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛖ ᚢ ᚦ ᚨ ᚱᚲ ᚹ ᚺ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛉ ᛜ ᛞᚠ ᚢ ᚱ ᚲ ᚷ ᚦ ᚨ ᛚ ᚲ ᚹᚺ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛈ ᛗ ᛚ ᛜ ᛞ ᛁᚠ ᚨ ᛟ ᛗ ᛚᛜ ᛞ ᛟ*
At that moment, the spirit crystal on the ceiling shone and the dim interior of the room was brightly illuminated. The interior design is not much different from the Victorian room. However, Eve's room had been neatly arranged.
"You have tidied it up well. It's like the Eve I know."
"Ah, that's because if I don't take care of it, my roommate who is too serious will get angry."
"A roommate more serious than Eve?"
(It was disrespectful, but I can't imagine it in the least.)
"Where is this roommate now?"
"He was gone for a few weeks because of the mission of the Academy. If that person is now in this place, you probably won't be able to get out of here alive." While saying something dangerous, Eve placed a pillow on the floor for him.
"Make yourself as comfortable as you are at home. I'll prepare tea and snacks now."
"Ah, sorry."
Eve immediately boiled hot water, and took out a hot black tea and snacks. Despite being the princess of a great noble family, she was extremely capable in such a field.
Since the Veilmist family was of military descent, he might have received rigorous training since he was young.
"It's delicious. Eve, did you make it?"
"You can say that. That's my hobby." Eve acted shy, and turned her face away.
It was a sponge cake sprinkled with black tea powder on its surface. It tastes simple because of its mild sweetness. He knew that cooking was his strength, but it was surprising that he could make such a subtle thing.
"Calm down a second. I'll go make preparations now."
As Kaizo asked, Eve drew her sword at his waist. With a strange voice filled with intensity, "It's per-si-a-pan."
"I-I understand." With the sword thrust into the back of his neck, Kaizo nodded.
When Eve disappeared into the next room and Kaizo became alone, she sighed a little, "What the hell was that?"
Sipping the black tea Eve made, she looked around the inside of the room.
There were uniforms and pajamas neatly folded over the bed. There were teddy bears and beautiful stuffed rabbits lined up beside them. And the design of the room is also feminine.
(Surprisingly, he has childish preferences,) While thinking about such things, he moved his gaze.
Incidentally, his eyes stopped on the writing table. A spirit crystal object, which was emitting a faint light, had been placed near the table.
(That.).
Kaizo approached, and took her into his hands. Inside the transparent spirit crystal, various white shadows appeared and disappeared.
"The spirit crystal that seals memories, huh?"
It was an article that could restrict the scene in one's memory by inserting holy power into it. The appearance of the same girl had repeatedly appeared to the surface within the spirit crystal.
Her glamorous hair fluttered and she held a jet-black demon sword, the appearance of a very young girl.
"Eh, isn't that me from three years ago?!" Kaizo reflexively shouted.
Well, the person reflected there was undoubtedly, the appearance of the strongest Sword Style Holder, Rei Assar.
(That reminds me, he said that he admires Rei Assar.)
As he let out a heavy sigh, he put back the memory sealing spirit ore onto the table. If Kaizo doesn't make sure that at least his true identity isn't exposed to him at all.
If that was true, he would end up destroying the dream of a pure girl, which he could not do on his own.
(Dn?)
Suddenly, Kaizo realized that the appearance of a girl other than Rei Assar was being projected inside the spirit crystal.
She has shiny blonde hair. She was a beautiful girl, who had a cold look like ice. The one who stood bashfully beside the girl was probably Eve when she was young.
(I have a memory of this girl somewhere,)
Kaizo has her doubts about the girl's appearance. Kaizo suddenly heard a subtle sound from Eve that seemed like it would disappear at any time from behind. That was because his voice seemed soft and shrill.
"I-I made you wait."
"Eve?"
Kaizo turned around, and her mouth opened wide. There was a maid standing in front of him wearing a servant's garment (maid).
After Kaizo rubbed her eyes, she opened her eyes once again.
(Yes, there must be a servant.)
She had a neat dark blue maid uniform combined with a white apron, and a beautiful long skirt with frills. And then, she had a headdress, which was slightly placed on her head. It was Eve in full maid outfit.
"You, what are you really doing?!" Kaizo swallowed his saliva.
"A-I'll be your exclusive maid maid from now on. W-Is it okay?" Eve whose face was flushed, held the end of her long skirt and bowed.
Under her flipped skirt, Kaizo slightly looked at the black garter belt quickly.
"What?!" Kaizo was surprised and covered his eyes with both hands in confusion.
"Don't look at it too much, it's embarrassing." Eve's face turned red, and she rubbed her knees shyly.
Since he was not wearing his armor, his trembling large chest became more highlighted than usual. Kaizo was at a loss for words.
Eve whispered with an agitated-looking expression, "As I thought, clothes like this, don't suit me?"
"No, err, not that." Kaizo said while turning her eyes.
(Or rather, she's cute. Very cute.)
No, even the usual Eve was of course cute, but she did not expect Eve wearing a maid uniform would be so charming. However, beyond that, Kaizo was more confused.
"Why the maid uniform?"
"I-This is an act of sincerity from me."
"Sincertificate?" Kaizo asked in return to Eve who muttered something timidly.
