What If the Strongest Villain from the Original Story Became the Protagonist's Ally? - Chapter 15 - Education, and Date

After being accosted by the mysterious student Conrad-whatever, his memory quickly disappeared from my head.

I spent time normally with Iris, normally went home after school ended, normally got dragged into training, and normally went to sleep.

The next day.

When I woke up, I felt something strange on my stomach. When I looked down, for some reason—Nana was on top of me.

“…Hey you. What are you doing in someone else’s room?”

I flicked sleeping Nana’s forehead.

The power was fairly high.

“—Owh!?”

Nana immediately woke up. She looked at me with a somewhat sleepy face.

“…Good morning, Papa.”

“Good morning. Go back to your room.”

“Don’t wanna.”

“Why not?”

“Being alone is lonely…”

“That gets to me…”

She was an abandoned child. The place that picked her up was full of beasts.

Truly alone in the world. She had no acquaintances other than me, and couldn’t return to her former life at this point.

So I grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and threw her off the bed for now.

“T-terrible! Abuse!”

“Hey now. Don’t say things that invite misunderstanding. This is the royal palace, you know? What if I get arrested?”

“It’s the truth.”

“Call it education.”

“You’re saying the same thing as that previous man.”

“That really hits me, you know?”

Something stabbed into my heart.

But I should correct her.

“Don’t lump me together with that guy. His was just violence, but mine is education—scolding a child who did something wrong. Don’t get on top of people. Especially not while they’re sleeping.”

“I wanted to sleep together…”

“That’s cute… but no. It would make it hard for me to sleep.”

“I believe you’ll endure it.”

“Mm, that’s presumptuous.”

Rejected. But if her mental state had recovered enough to state her own opinions, I’d consider that good.

Most of what she was saying was probably jokes anyway.

I got out of bed and stretched my back.

“What are you doing after this?”

“Hmm…? Iris will come barging in, so early morning training followed by school.”

“Again? You should just skip.”

“You’re surprisingly clever… I’d love to adopt that opinion! —Or I would, but”

Bang!

The door opened vigorously.

The person who entered the room was the aforementioned Iris.

“Good morning, Yuguram-sama!”

“Morning, Iris. Knock as always.”

“Then let’s go to early morning training! Today I want to learn how to use mana too!”

Completely ignoring what I was saying, Iris grabbed my arm and dragged me away.

“By the way, Iris.”

“Yes.”

“What color are your panties today? I won’t be satisfied unless I see your panties. Also let me grope your chest.”

“I’ll kill you.”

“But~! It’s always always training and it’s boring!”

I threw a tantrum while being dragged. I was completely like a dangerous person.

“…You really…”

“Hm?”

“You really do like my underwear and chest.”

“Because I like Iris.”

“!”

Iris’s face turned bright red. I was getting back at her for all the usual bullying by teasing her like this.

Swords flew at me occasionally, but getting hit by iron lumps didn’t do any damage, so I didn’t mind.

“I-I understand…”

“Huh?”

“If you want to see my underwear that much… later, um…”

“Thank you very much!”

“—You’re jumping in!?”

I thanked her in advance.

Lucky! Iris’s underwear was premium stuff. It would easily fetch over a million at an online auction.

“Really… . You really are…”

For some reason, Iris was smiling.

That expression was exactly the face of hers that I loved from the bottom of my heart. It was frustrating that it made my heart skip a beat…

“What’s wrong, Iris? Are you getting addicted to showing underwear?”

Crash!

When I made a joke, I was thrown outside, breaking through the window glass.

This was about three stories high for a building.

“I’ll be waiting in the courtyaaaaaaard!!”

I fell while screaming.

“Nice weather today~”

“You’re uninjured as if it’s natural, Yuguram-sama.”

When I waited for Iris in the courtyard, she came immediately. She threw one of the wooden swords hanging at her waist toward me.

I caught it and answered.

“Like I’d get injured from something like that.”

“Normal people would get injured. It would be fatal.”

Iris sighed with an exasperated face. Had she already forgotten that she’d committed attempted murder!?

“I really doubt whether you’re human or not… Well, that’s fine.”

“It’s not fine. I’m the victim.”

“More importantly, is it okay if I decide one thing about tomorrow’s schedule?”

Ignored. Dejected.

“Tomorrow’s schedule? That’s quite sudden.”

Iris raised her sword. Was she planning to fight while talking?

She kicked off the ground and approached me. She swung her sword, and the moment I caught it—

“Ahhh, tomorrow!! Please… go on a date with meeeee!!”

She suddenly shouted loudly. Taken aback, I lost strength and took her wooden sword hit.

Smack! The wooden sword hit right in front of my face. There was no damage, but… I was thoroughly confused.

Unable to bear it…

“H-h-how far can we go…!?”

I asked eagerly.
