A boy raised by a demon king and a dragon king seems to be peerless in his school life.

Volume 9 Chapter 55 Present

The morning after an intense night.

Chrome lay on the bed, looking exhausted as if she had just concluded a major battle.

“T-That was… amazing…”

Chrome murmured, looking very satisfied.

On the other hand, Ruisha, while not without fatigue, seemed surprisingly energetic.

“Are you okay?”

“After engaging in such an intense battle, asking if I’m okay is quite wicked of you.”

“I-I’m sorry. It just slipped out…”

As Ruisha blushed, Chrome was also influenced and her cheeks turned red.

Ruisha, caught up in the moment, engaged in the act, feeling that it would be rude to hold back. As a result, Chrome was completely overwhelmed.

“It’s fine. It’s not like I’ve never admired being an ordinary village girl. A normal life where I fall in love and create a family. It feels dazzling because it’s no longer attainable. For a moment while being held by you, I could feel that emotion.”

Saying this, Chrome traced Ruisha’s body with her fingertips.

“I like a well-trained body, just to my liking.”

Saying that, she gently kissed around Ruisha’s right chest area.

Then, pulling away with a shy demeanor, kissed Ruisha’s lips this time.

“Mmm… Hehe, I never thought I’d end up doing something so girly. I thought it was a silly act, but trying it turned out to be surprisingly enjoyable.”

Saying this with a cheerful laugh, she pulled Ruisha’s head close and nestled it against her chest.

Ruisha, with his entire face engulfed in the softness, quickly turned his face upwards, trying to secure his breathing.

“Hmm, what…? What’s going on?”

“Hey, Ruisha, how about coming to the Empire with me?”

Chrome asked in a serious tone that didn’t sound like a joke.

Feeling her seriousness, Ruisha didn’t immediately refuse and listened carefully to what she had to say.

“If you come with me, I’ll provide anything you desire. Money is not a concern. I won’t ask you to support me, nor will I force you to fight. …I just want you to be by my side. …What do you think?”

It was an expression so frail and delicate, unimaginable from her usual demeanor.

It was challenging to refuse a request with such a face. Moreover, the invitation seemed very appealing.

Every day living in leisure under the care of this beautiful and strong woman. Surely, that life would have no worries.

If he still lived in the village back then, there would have been no reason to refuse Chrome’s offer. However, the current Ruisha bears a burden.

“…It’s a very appealing offer, but I can’t accept it right now. There’s something I have to do.”

Firmly refusing with a resolute attitude, Chrome sensed that no amount of words would persuade Ruisha.

Understanding this, Chrome showed a slightly sad expression and said, “I see,” before agreeing.

“Just getting you to say ‘not now’ is enough. After you’ve finished what you need to do, I’ll ask for another chance to persuade you.”

“Thank you. I don’t know if I’ll have a favorable answer, but I’ll be waiting.”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Though they had only recently met, they had engaged in a deadly struggle and shared their bodies, fostering a strong bond.

“Oh right, Ruisha, is there anything you want right now?”

“Huh? Why are you asking all of a sudden?”

“Well, if you’re not coming with me, I thought I’d at least get you something. If you have something, even when we’re apart, you can remember me. I may not look like it, but I’m quite wealthy, so feel free to say anything.”

“Um… even if you say that, I can’t think of anything I particularly want.”

“You’re selfless. Hm, I receive many gifts, but I’ve never given one, so I don’t know what would be good…”

Chrome pondered, scratching her head.

The best thing she could give. After a few minutes of contemplation, she came up with something good.

“Oh right, that should make you happy for sure!”

Having thought of a brilliant idea, Chrome told Ruisha the name of that fantastic present.

In response to this unexpectedly unique item, Ruisha, surprised, asked, “Eh! Is it okay to give something like that!?”

“Well, I rarely use it, so it should be fine. The Emperor might scold me, but that’s nothing new, so I don’t mind.”

“Getting scolded by the Emperor, isn’t that really bad?”

“You’re not… happy?”

Asked in a cute manner with a slight upward glance, Ruisha stumbled over his words.

After some hesitation, he came to a conclusion.

“I’m… happy.”

“Alright, it’s settled! Look forward to it!”

“Is it truly alright to accept this…?”

Despite his anxious thoughts, Ruisha couldn’t help but feel excited at the prospect of receiving it.

Volume 9 Chapter 56 Empress of the Sky

“Wow, this is incredibly cool…”

Looking at the imposing object before him, Wolf couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

The rest of their classmates were equally moved as they looked at it. The design of this thing was so refined, captivating the hearts of all who beheld it.

In response to their awe, Chrome proudly explained.

“This, gathered with the pinnacle of the Empire’s technology, is the state-of-the-art high-mobility medium-sized airship, the ‘Empress of the Sky, Blue Empress”

The streamlined airship had a vibrant blue color as its base, with gold accents in various places.

The combination of functionality and grandeur in its appearance made it feel like an embodiment of the ‘class’ befitting the Sky Empress.

Seeing this clearly extravagant airship, Ruisha, with a nervous smile, asked Chrome.

“Uhm, is it really for me…?”

“Yeah, exactly. As a testament to our love, I’ll give you this airship. No need to hesitate. The Empire has plenty of airships, so losing one won’t be a big deal. Probably.”

“No, this is definitely bad! It’s way bigger than I thought, and it can fit like twenty people, not a smaller one!”

Compared to the massive airship that could accommodate a hundred people that Ruisha and the others arrived in, it was much smaller. However, it was still significantly larger than the small airships that could only carry a few people. Clearly, this was not something an ordinary citizen could own.

“It’s not just about the size, no no. This airship is equipped with state-of-the-art magical propulsion engines. It’s a groundbreaking creation, boasting the power to move even large airships, excellent fuel efficiency, and an extraordinary lightweight design that defies common sense. Its performance sets it apart from your average airship.”

“I’m telling you, don’t just casually hand over something that powerful!”

The group was in an uproar, voicing their concerns.

Amidst the commotion, a figure approached the group slowly.

“Goodness, it’s noisy even this early in the morning. Can’t you keep it down a bit?”

Walking calmly was Emperor Cobaldius.

Yuri felt nervous upon seeing his face.

“Good morning, Your Majesty.”

“Yeah, sorry for the trouble caused by my folks.”

“N-No, it’s not trouble at all.”

Perplexed at receiving an apology from the infamous cold-hearted Emperor, Yuri was at a loss for words. The Emperor paid no mind to Yuri’s state and approached Chrome.

“What’s this note? Explain, Chrome.”

The Emperor, upon waking up in the morning, saw a note on the desk. Written in Chrome’s handwriting, it said, ‘I’m giving an airship to Ruisha!’ and the Emperor had come all the way to confirm its true meaning.

“That’s exactly what it means, Your Majesty. I sincerely apologize for not making use of this bestowed gift, but I believe it would be more beneficial in the hands of this young man.”

“Well, even if that’s the case, allowing individuals from other nations to see the Empire’s technology…”

The Emperor raised a valid point, but Chrome stood firm. Swiftly approaching the Emperor, she whispered in his ear.

“I’m doing my best to be liked here. If you don’t nod silently, I might have to change jobs.”

“Oh, how scary… Am I the first Emperor to be alienated just to please a young boy…?”

Realizing the trouble if he were to be alienated, the Emperor reluctantly agreed.

While they were discussing this, students from the Imperial Academy arrived. Gelozia, the top student, approached Ruisha.

“So, you’re leaving?”

“Yes, thank you for helping me before.”

Ruisha, who hadn’t properly thanked them for the incident with the Third Eye, bowed his head in thanks. His classmates, unaware of this incident, tilted their heads in confusion but didn’t interject, sensing the serious atmosphere.

“You don’t need to thank us. Compared to what we did to you all, that’s not even close to atonement. We regret our actions, driven by the desire for a temporary victory, and we all feel remorse now.”

The students from the Imperial Academy had been watching Ruisha and Chrome’s battle from a distance. Witnessing top-tier combat even in this world, they realized how insignificant and petty their pride was. Remembering their original intentions, they decided to start training anew, their eyes now stronger and more dependable than before.

“So, I won’t ask for forgiveness here. I’ll start from scratch and show you how I can become stronger to entertain you. That’s our apology.”

“Understood. I’m looking forward to it.”

The two who promised to meet again shook hands.

“Hey! It’s about time we go in!”

The time for departure came, and the Magic academy students started entering the magical airship one by one. The plan was to return on the magical airship of the Merchant Nation Blum, but it was hastily canceled, and everyone decided to return using the ‘Empress of the Sky, Blue Empress’ together.

“Well then, it’s farewell.”

Cheerfully yet somewhat lonely, Chrome brought it up.

They had only met for a few days. However, a bond had undoubtedly formed between the two. Through dialogue with their fists, they could convey even things that words couldn’t fully express to each other.

“Hey, Ruisha, by the next time we meet, I’ll become stronger. And I’ll make myself even more charming to make you fall for me. Get ready for it.”

“That sounds… very challenging. I’ll also work hard not to disappoint.”

“Hah, a young brat talking big. But I’m looking forward to it.”

The two shook hands firmly.

At that moment, Chrome, with a puzzled look, noticed two girls looking at her.

Of course, those two were Sharo and Iris. Seeing Chrome, who had suddenly appeared as a woman, and Ruisha talking intimately, they had a bad feeling.

Seeing this, Chrome, who had figured it all out with a chuckle, smiled.

She gently pulled the clasped hands and boldly took Ruisha’s lips, showing them off to the two.

“「Wha…!!」”

While the two were dumbfounded and Ruisha was frozen in surprise, Chrome passionately kissed as if reluctant to part with her lover, paying no mind to them. She slowly released the kiss.

“You won’t forget this, will you? Both you and them, right?”

Saying this with a joyful smile, Chrome jumped from the spot and disappeared at high speed.

Watching her leave like a storm, Ruisha muttered, “Can’t compete with that.”

“Now then,” he said as he tried to board the magical airship, but the two girls blocked his path.

“Ahh.”

Sweat poured down Ruisha’s forehead, as he had completely forgotten about their presence.

“Ruisha~!? Could you please explain what’s going on!?”

“Let’s put Ruisha-sama on the magical airship, Sharo, then he won’t be able to escape.”

“H-haha. Gently, then…”

With a strained smile, the two maidens rejected Ruisha’s plea.
