Chapter 108: Barghest's Turn
「Welcome to my tea party, transfer student.」
「Eh, why did I invite you? Hehe, of course because I am very interested in you.」
「Ever since you transferred into our class, the whole class has become much livelier.」
「Class rep Charlemagne complains to me every day, saying that Roland and Astolfo were already enough of a headache, and now with you added, his head has gotten even bigger.」
「And every time I have a tea party with Jeanne, she always brings you up too, even saying that ever since you appeared, Jeanne Alter has gradually become more like a girl, even secretly learning how to put on makeup.」
「The most miraculous thing is, even with someone troublesome like Gilles de Rais, you can still build not-bad relations with him.」
「Eh, you didn't do anything special at all, yet things naturally turned out like this?」
「Hehe, then you might as well try being with me a little, starting from this tea party. As for you, there's still so much more I want to know clearly.」
...
This situation was truly very bad.
Barghest immediately entered the mode of a conservative lady; from the start, she was completely unsuited to participate in this kind of punishment game.
If there was still no progress, in the end it might cause their whole team to be eliminated.
Moreover, if she failed in this game… it would be a tremendous blow to her confidence as a woman!
But really, there was no other way. After all, one's heartbeat isn't something that can be controlled at will.
"Oh my, originally I thought with a beauty like Barghest, taking action would surely be as easy as turning over a hand, but unexpectedly her personality is holding her back."
Finn-sensei commented:
"Do your best, lady. At this moment, don't cling to a maiden's modesty anymore, otherwise in the end you'll just be the one to kick your own team out of the game!"
"Y-Yes..."
Barghest panickedly nodded, completely losing her usual calm and graceful demeanor.
"I… I am a strong Fairy Knight, I will definitely do my best!"
Though she said so, on the contrary, she only grew even more nervous!
In his heart, Eikou thought, can you commentators say a few words less, the more you talk the harder it is for her to get into the mood, instead you're just making her feel even more embarrassed, don't you know that!
But Napoleon seemed to realize this problem as well, yet he instead prattled on endlessly, openly and uprightly starting to stir things up.
"Looks like our contestant Barghest really has trouble relaxing under such circumstances! Don't worry now, take this chance to make some more beautiful memories, later I'll help you clearly record all these sweet moments!"
"You even have to record them?"
Barghest's face instantly flushed even redder.
Say fewer words already, you damn Frenchman! Don't make her even more restrained!
Eikou screamed in his heart.
It's over, completely fallen into the opponent's rhythm, if this keeps up, they really will be eliminated!
Since Barghest wouldn't take the initiative, then he himself would create the chance to take the initiative.
"Barghest, have you ever thought about changing into another outfit, adjusting your Spirit Origin form a little. If you change clothes, your mood will change too."
He took the initiative to speak.
"You don't understand this," Finn suddenly cut in, "wearing sportswear is also a kind of special outfit, you have to learn to appreciate it."
Who the fuck asked you, don't go ruining our atmosphere on your own!
But truth be told, that old lecher wasn't wrong either. Barghest in sportswear really did suit her, even baggy tracksuits couldn't hide her well-trained, alluring figure, instead they gave people boundless room for imagination. And with those tight sports shorts, they only further revealed her beautiful physique.
Yet in the very next moment, Barghest suddenly took the initiative, reaching out to cover the magecraft lens being used to broadcast the livestream.
"Sorry…"
Her face flushed red, she shyly said to him,
"Actually, Sir Eikou, there's something I still haven't ever told you…"
"W-what… what is it?"
Seeing her serious expression, Eikou suddenly felt a little panicked.
Barghest quietly lifted the hem of her shirt, raising it up high.
Eikou's eyes instantly widened.
What appeared before him was Barghest's long-trained, perfect female body, truly a figure born of nature.
The earnest female knight—her body could be said to have reached the level of a "Holy Lance" in terms of voluptuousness—was already wearing a sexy bikini underneath!
BOOBS!!! DEKAI!!!
"I heard the third racecourse will be a water-surface scene, so I already switched into the Spirit Origin swimsuit form beforehand."
"???"
In other words, she had been wearing a swimsuit this whole way?
Earlier when allied with Charlemagne, many of their girls had disguised themselves into Spirit Origin swimsuit forms, causing them to misjudge strategy. But only she—the model student who didn't take off her clothes—turned out to actually be the one who had already changed into the Spirit Origin swimsuit form among them?
"Although at first I put it on to prepare for the water-surface stage, I was thinking… if after the competition you could invite me to go swimming together, it would be even better."
Barghest interlaced her ten fingers like a maiden, gently leaning toward his shoulder, her heterochromatic eyes glancing at him with a shy look.
Although her body, standing at a full one meter ninety, seemed a bit awkward when leaning in,
It was just like how she had secretly been wearing a swimsuit—in that the more serious, dignified, and imposing she usually was, the stronger the sense of contrast it brought! Clearly a righteous and steadfast female knight, yet in this situation revealing the appearance of a little girl!
"What, contestant Barghest had already changed into a swimsuit so early!"
Finn—the commentator, though unable to see the image, was still shaken by the conversation,
"To do such a thing, and not by anyone else, but by Barghest—the one always the most serious and proper…"
"Really, even as her homeroom teacher I'm startled, the girl who normally in class always put people at ease, Barghest, upholding the spirit of a knight—turns out in her heart she also has an ero~ side like this. And yet I cannot criticize the romance and brilliance within it!"
"Just like the swimsuit she hid away, the more she conceals the livestream lens the more it draws attention. Could it be the two of them are doing something unspeakable behind that covered lens? Perhaps this too is part of the contrast—in fact we have already become part of the play between Eikou and Barghest!"
"Barghest… she understands art too well!"
Napoleon: "Perfect score, magnificent!"
Finn: "Perfect score!"
In his heart, Eikou muttered, the two of you aren't even judges, what are you scoring for, moreover you're both teachers, and yet giving this kind of score to a student—is this really okay, aren't you afraid Headmaster Chaldea will fire you!
Ding ding ding ding ding!
Before he even had time to react, the magecraft on his chest gave off a warning.
The hell?
It succeeded?
Eikou froze for a moment, then raised his brows in shock.
"Won!"
He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration,
"You really know how to play, Barghest!"
"Huh?"
Barghest was slightly dumbfounded.
She thought to herself that she clearly hadn't done anything, only simply revealed the swimsuit hidden under her clothes—what on earth were these men talking about?
