Chapter 108: Clingy Scathach
[This scene easily reminds one of certain moments in Doujinshi.]
[In deserted public places — such as a park at night or a classroom after school — the boy, driven by desire, would passionately demand intimacy from the shy girl, regardless of being seen.]
[Though in this case, the roles are completely reversed.]
At noon, inside the teachers' office——
"W-wait, someone could come in at any moment..."
Being tightly held and affectionately caressed by Scathach, Eikou's entire face turned bright red.
This teacher, who was normally so cold and composed, just loved doing things that went far beyond proper boundaries in such weird places!
Eikou wanted to pull away, but she was holding him far too tightly.
"Do you dislike this kind of physical contact...?"
Scathach looked shy, yet in truth, she tightened her embrace, leaving him no chance to escape — her hold was as precise as a chokehold used in martial arts.
He could feel, profoundly, what was called "the gravity of a female Celtic warrior"!
"At least… can we move somewhere else..."
Eikou muttered, face burning.
A pure-hearted man like him truly couldn't accept such sinful actions so suddenly.
'Damn it, why do I sound more and more like some innocent girl being teased and gradually corrupted by a bastard blond guy — the roles here are clearly messed up!'
"Feeling embarrassed now? But at the party, you weren't afraid when you boldly challenged me, were you?"
Scathach blew a gentle warm breath onto his flushed ear.
Eikou immediately felt a hot, tingling numbness spreading through his whole body.
"Do you want me to let you go?" Scathach whispered by his ear. "Someone could walk in here any moment — if they see us in this position, that would be troublesome, wouldn't it..."
What the hell is this half-threatening, half-teasing tone? Who taught her to talk like that — could it be her best friend, Medb?!
Even though Eikou had thousands of retorts swirling in his mind, faced with Scathach's tender, clingy demeanor — and in such a sinful setting — he was too tense to say a word.
"U-umu..."
In the end, he could only nod obediently.
"Hehe, good boy~."
Scathach gave him a flirtatious glance and a charming smile — it was the first time he had ever seen her smile so brightly.
"Then, spare one day of your vacation for me. I'll also dedicate a day just for you — to enjoy our date together."
Damn it, so that was her goal after all! No wonder she suddenly wanted to play this weird "play" right here in the office. The vacation I fought so hard to earn is now being taken over by her!
Still, if it's just one day, maybe it's not such a big deal.
Fine then, as long as it doesn't overlap with Baobhan Sith or Morgan's schedules. I have no intention of going through the suffering of "double dating" ever again in this lifetime!
[You have agreed to spend one special day of your five-day vacation on a date with her.]
[Even so, the ever-greedy Scathach refused to let you go, continuing to cling to you affectionately for quite some time.]
[You saw another side of Scathach that she had always kept hidden, leaving you utterly astonished.]
[It wasn't until the other teachers in the office gradually returned that she reluctantly let you go, pretending nothing had happened and telling you to leave first.]
[That made you unable to help but think, if this time you don't make it into the top 10 and get dragged back to Shadow Land, then that "special training" she mentioned… could it be some kind of strange training...]
[Forget it, better not think too much about it, it feels bad for your health.]
[...]
[Anyway, you take the student council's application form and head straight toward the student council room.]
"I have to find a way to escape this situation..."
Walking down the corridor of the school building, Eikou's face was still flushed red.
"I should've realized it already, I can't just keep living carelessly like this, otherwise sooner or later something serious will happen in my social relationships."
Just Morgan and Melusine alone were already scary enough, and now even Scathach — someone who had always been indifferent to romantic matters — had become so affectionate; sooner or later, things were bound to be exposed!
So, I must endure! Even if I really do meet Raikou in the student council room later, no matter how much I like those big-breasted onee-san type Servants, I absolutely must maintain the furthest possible social distance from them!
By now, my social network has already become too large and too tangled, I can't let it get any more complicated, I can't let there be even the slightest chance of more happening!
And as for those married-woman-type Servants, I have to stay even farther away, absolutely not letting them have a chance to butt in again.
Hehe, I must survive.
"From now on, I'll become a loyal, pure, and disciplined man!"
Eikou said determinedly.
[Puhahahahahahahahahaha!]
Hey, what are you laughing at, since when did you become the comic relief character here! What's so funny about that line!
...
[You have prayed to become a man of purity, living seriously and virtuously.]
[But how long this naïve wish can last… is hard to say...]
[You stroll around the Chaldea Academy's trainee building; the student council office should be on the second floor of this building.]
[Even though half a semester has already passed, you're still unfamiliar with Chaldea Academy's layout, since you've never really had the free time to leisurely explore the campus.]
[Come to think of it, you still haven't joined any club yet. When the next half of the semester begins and the clubs start recruiting members, you can try registering for one — as long as you have free time.]
[Cooking club, kendo club, drama club, basketball club, Round Table club, Jeanne club...]
[Once the exam week ends, they'll probably resume activities one after another.]
[You notice a club room at the end of the hallway, its name still pending confirmation. Judging by the stickers outside, its main members include Barghest, Melusine, the Jeanne sisters, Marie Antoinette, and others… the club advisor is teacher Zenobia.]
[Since when did their relationship become this close — to the point of forming a club together?]
[Maybe check it out next time if you have the chance...]
[After a bit of searching, you finally find the student council office.]
Noon, in front of the student council office.
You vaguely hear the sound of conversation inside, as if they're discussing something.
Eikou felt a little tense, but he still knocked on the door, ready to submit his application to join the student council.
If he wanted to grow stronger quickly, the authority and activities held by the student council would definitely serve as a perfect stepping stone — he had a definite reason to join.
Time was limited, every day had to be lived earnestly.
"Come in~"
A gentle, sweet female voice came from inside, sounding somewhat familiar.
Eikou gently pushed open the door to the office.What met his eyes was a spacious, tidy room, where several student council members were sitting properly in their seats, all turning simultaneously to look at the newcomer.
Perhaps because it was lunchtime, not all the members were present yet.
He glanced around once, and as expected, everyone here was an outstanding student of their respective grades — either those with a disciplined demeanor, or Servants of great power and noble lineage.
Arjuna (Archer), Nero Claudius, Charlemagne, Achilles, Astraea (Luvia), Hijikata Toshizou, Martha, Ishtar...
But the first person who caught Eikou's attention wasn't any of those elite students.
It was the one sitting in the foremost seat — the student council president——
Marie Antoinette.
"??"
He had just barely escaped from Scathach's claws, only to immediately run into another heavy-class "married woman." What the hell is this, a turn-based game?!
...
(Note: I remember that in a previous chapter it was said Marie was the vice president, right? And also, I thought mama Raikou was a teacher rather than a student.)
