CH 28

Kin-kon-kan-kon, the morning lecture ended with the familiar bell ringing.

Classroom life is good, it’s easy.

I thought that if I let my guard down too much, I would stumble in the 2nd or 3rd year, but from looking at the textbook in the library, it seems that I have mastered the subjects up to the end of the 3rd year curriculum.

After that, you can review it, so the lectures are good as passed.

I do so love having a high-spec brain.

Uhahahaha.

Huh?

Feeling something was off in the corner of my eyes, I look beyond the window.

What is that?

What are they doing?

“Makoto, you want to go to Hiyoko-Do again for lunch?” Carol asked. “Makoto?”

Near the pond, there’s a lady in a colorful dress…

Ah, someone is… huh, was she pushed down?

At that moment, I realized who had fallen, and with a “zaaaaah,” the blood rushed to my head.

“What’s wrong, Makoto?” Carol asked. “Makoto, what are you doing!!?”

“Melissa-sama was pushed into the pond! Carol, go find Sensei and tell him!”

“Huh?! Right! Wait, that’s dangerous!”

Ignoring Karol’s screams, I jumped out of the window from the second floor.

I hear the wind whistling past me and feel the ground getting closer.

I activate a Barrier beneath my body.

Barin!

The barrier cracks with a loud noise, and it breaks my fall’s momentum.

On the lawn in the courtyard, while suppressing the shock, I turned around like a cat.

The moment my feet touch the ground, I cast body-strengthening magic on my legs and start running.

“You bitches!! What are you doooinnggg?!!!”

Melissa-sama in the pond is floundering, I wonder if she can’t swim.

The young ladies in splendid dresses looked at her with cold eyes and smiled.

No one is trying to help.

“So you’ve come after all, False Saint.”

“It’s going according to plan.”

“Wh-What are you doing…?”

I threw off my uniform so fast that I tore off the buttons, kicked off my shoes, and jumped into the pond with only a pair of drawers on me.

Dapoon!

“I’m coming, Melissa…!” I yelled.

“Ma, Makoto-sama…!”

It’s a school pond, but it’s pretty deep.

I can’t stand in it.

“Calm down, you’ll float naturally,” I said.

“O-Okayyy…” Melissa says, her expression distorted from crying.

If I hug her, we’ll both drown, so I approach her from behind and support her head.

“Calm down and take a deep breath,” I said.

“Haa, haa, haa.”

I support Melissa-sama’s neck and pull us toward the shore.

The ladies in colorful dresses stand in front of the shore with grins on their faces.

“Get out of there!!” I yelled.

“I’d love to help you,” one of them said. “But my hands might slip, ohohoho.”

Bitch…!!

Shall we blind them all with a 12x Light flash, these guys?

I wonder if I can create a Barrier underwater.

Alright, I made one.

I create two Barriers underwater in a staircase pattern.

I hold Miss Melissa in a princess carry, use the Barrier as a foothold, climb up, and enhance my upper half with body-strengthening magic!!

I stepped on the shoulders of the strongest-looking lady, launched myself higher, and jumped over the group of young ladies.

“You-You just used me as a stepping stone!”

Hahaha, I couldn’t resist.

I’m cold.

As I held Melissa-sama’s body against my chest, she felt warm.

“Ohohoho, you’re a barbarian who stripped naked to save a girl like that.”

“Don’t you have any modesty as a lady? How shameless!”

“You’re getting naked in front of the gentlemen, aren’t you so used to it?”

""

Let’s knock these ladies over with Barriers and throw them into the pond.

You’ll know how dangerous it is to wear clothes in water.

I have to shove my feet back into my shoes.

I can’t put on the rest of my clothes with Melissa-sama already in my arms.

I’m not wearing a bra, so you can see my boobs.

“Makoto, you just, woah,” Curtis gasped as he came running in.

He seemed to realize I was in my drawers and started blushing and panicking.

While averting his eyes, he pulled off his jacket and held it out.

Oh, Curtis-onii-chan, you are a true gentleman and a likable one at that.

“That helps,” I said.

“Makoto, are you okay?” Carol said.

She saw both my hands were occupied with Melissa-sama, so she snatched Curtis’s jacket and threw it over my shoulders.

“These ladies… did they do it?” Elmer asked, looking furious as he glared at them.

“You can bother with them later,” I said, “if we can’t change Melissa-sama’s clothes now, we’ll have to go to the girls’ dormitory, so can I ask you to stay here, Curtis?”

“Okay, leave it to me, hurry up and get there,” Curtis said.

Melissa-sama is trembling with purple lips.

Even though it is spring, the outdoor temperature is still low.

I need to hurry up and get her in a bath.

The moment I was about to start walking, I saw Kevin-ouji coming this way.

“And here you go again, Makoto Kimball-sama!!” Kevin cried.

“… Please move out of the way,” I said.

“What are you saying, I can’t move from here until I hear an explanation…” Kevin started.

“I’m telling you to get out of here!!” I yelled. “If there’s anything you want to ask, ask the dress-wearing ladies crowding over there!!”

“Oh, such disrespect to the prince, to the royal family,” Kevin said.

“Kevin-ouji! Please let her go, the girl in Makoto’s arms is in danger,” Curtis said.

And Curtis-onii-chan with the rescue boat.

“Oh, I, I see, sorry,” Kevin said.

Fuck’s sake, your eyes are knotholes.

I poured magical strength into my legs and kicked off into a run.

Uu, Curtis-onii-chan’s jacket is just hanging over my shoulders, so it looks like it might fall off.

I don’t even wear a bra, so it’s all wrong.

The wind is coooold.

The students who come and go look at me with questioning expressions, but I don’t care about them.

I don’t have time for shame play.

Do-do-do, run, and jump into the girls’ dormitory.

Phew, it’s okay to be half-naked here.

“Makoto-sama, Makoto-sama~,” Melissa whimpers.

She’s crying.

“Don’t cry, it’s okay now,” I said.

I go down the stairs and head to the public bath.

The 24-hour bath was very helpful.

On the way, I stop by the laundry room.

“Oh, oh my, what happened?” the laundry lady asks.

“She fell into the pond, do you have any spare clothes?” I asked.

“If it’s your size, I’ve got some underwear,”

Ah, underwear doesn’t help.

I had the bag of it hooked on my wrist.

“Ojou-sama, ojou-sama, wh-what’s wrong, Makoto?”

“Karina-san, what a relief, you go get Melissa-sama some spare clothes,” I said.

“Ah, aah, understood, I’ll get it right now, but what happened?” Karina asked.

“It looks like she was pushed into the pond. I don’t know the details either,” I said.

“What the hell, what the hell did Ojou-sama do, why would they have reason to push her into the pond?” Karina said.

“It, it’s my fault, Karina,” Melissa said. “The Onee-samas got angry because I mentioned Makoto-sama’s name, which offended them.”

Damn it, for fuck’s sake.

I didn’t understand the stupidity of Pottinger-kyou’s faction.

Was it all bunch of vile idiots who were all willing to go to such lengths?

It’s my fault for stirring up Melissa-sama.

“I’ll ask about the details in the bath, Karina-san, I’m counting on you,” I said.

“Understood, you’ve done a great deed for me, thank you, Makoto,” Karina said, also crying now.

Fuck you all, you idiotic Ojou-samas of Pottinger-kyou’s Faction.

I will definitely retaliate and make a mess of them, too.

I carried Miss Melissa to the dressing room.

“Can you stand up?” I asked.

“Yes, thank you very much, Makoto-sama, you saved my life,” Melissa said.

“No, it wasn’t a big deal, ehehehe,” I chuckled.

“I, I’m really happy that you helped me by jumping into the pond even if you had to get na-naked,” Melissa said.

And now she’s bursting into tears again.

“It’s alright, don’t worry about it. Come on, let’s take a bath,” I said.

“…… Umm,” Melissa said.

“Hmm?” I asked.

“My-My clothes, I don’t have anyone to take them off…” Melissa said.

Ah, ah.

A real young lady can’t even take off her clothes.

Leave everything to the maid.

The real thing about the noble lady is that she has too little responsibility.

“It’s embarrassing and painful to make you act as my maid, Makoto-sama…”

“Well, leave it to me,” I said.

Even so, it’s hard to take off this complicated dress style.

I untie the string that crosses her back, ah, it’s wet with water and it’s hard to untie.

Why aren’t you wearing a uniform?

Hii, Karina-san, please come quickly.

After some trial and error, I managed to remove the wet dress, and Meliss-sama is now naked.

I also take off my drawers and I’m naked now, too.

“Makoto-sama, you’re beautiful…”

Stop that, don’t stare at my body.

“Come on, let’s take a bath and freshen up,” I said.

“Ye-Yes, umm, I, I suppose this is what a wedding night feels like,” Melissa said. “Kyaa, I’m getting so excited.”

Yeah, things are going well as usual.

Good, good.

Pour hot water over your body and enter the bathtub.

It’s lunch break time, so it’s reserved for us.

Fuwaa, it’s warming.

Melissa-sama’s expression softened as well.

Alright, alright.

The bath is an oasis of life.

Let’s forget all the painful things and sad things in the hot water.
