The Noble Lady of Lust

Chapter 121: I hope I don’t catch something contagious.

A few days ago

”Say Aaah...”

”AaaH...”

”grrr”

There I was, watching the pair of lovebirds nonchalantly eating their food in their own world, while a third watched them angrily.

The pair was none other than Selene and Chris. myself, but the point is, as usual, Eira seemed about to attack me.

It was already the fourth month since I entered the academy and almost since I started dating Selene, and she still hadn’t improved her overprotective sister side at all.

The six of us were in the dining room, at noon recess. Since I helped Eira that day, and maybe because Selene hangs out with us more often, Eira now used to spend as much time with us, so she is now a regular part of our ”girls only” group.

..

”Hey, idiot, what are you doing here? I hadn’t said anything, because no one else said it, but you weren’t supposed to have fought with your mistress.”

”Uh?... oh!... uhmm, well we made up like civilized people, not like a certain little accumulation of anger that won’t accept a healthy reconciliation.”

My original self, who is always disguised as Chris, started spending time with us. The reason, well, is that he’s Selene’s boyfriend and honestly I wasn’t really looking forward to spending with the always cold Cordelia, with whom I usually spend time.

Although now I’m not as motivated to bring her into my harem, that doesn’t change the fact that I have to be around to avoid the things she usually does to annoy or bully me, which I’ve dodged thanks to being infiltrated among them.

So far it’s childish things, like stealing my stuff and even my uniform when we have physical classes and stuff. But I’ve avoided most of it, since Chris has Cordelia’s full trust, given that I’ve given a lot of information about myself.

The point is, with Cordelia’s permission, I supposedly now reconciled with Seraphina, but I was only an undercover agent, since I was very good at getting information out of Seraphina, and I had the excuse of spending time with my girlfriend, who was Selene.

Well, it’s all unnecessarily complicated, and I’m just playing around because it was boring to be with her, due to her not reacting to the slightest thing from me and, lately, she even gained resistance to my annoyances.

I preferred to spend time with Selene, something Eira didn’t like and didn’t hesitate to show it.

”What did you say, you bastard? If you have something to say, say it straight out.”

”I said if you took your rabies potion, I don’t want to get infected with your...”

”Now you do!!, you piece of shit! Grrr...”

I was watching Eira attack Chris, a scene that was now so familiar and normal that it wasn’t at all uncommon. In fact, it was now commonplace.

There were even open bets and I walked up to a guy who was collecting money and gave him mine.

”I bet it all on Chris.” If I was betting on myself, I was confident. Eira was flexible and didn’t hesitate to resonate with Selene when she attacked me, but I saw it as a kind of real training and fight for survival. A

yes, I would take the risk and fight without resonance, which made her stronger than me, as Selene now had the same stats as me.

’Oh, that’s it, hold her down, don’t let her rabies rub off on us... yeah, she’s as flat as she looks.’

I must say, because of how intense the situation was, our thoughts got a little mixed up, but really, her chest is sadly flat compared to Selene or me being so far the flattest of the group, Eira who gained some of my sympathy, though then lost it when she bit my ear.

’That’s it! Bite her! Let’s even the field, fire with fire!’

They were both wallowing in a cat fight, or well, technically, she was half one, so rather than looking like one, she was one.

For me, it was a fight against a hate-filled evil spirit that wanted to steal my soul. A good show while we ate, completely ignoring what my other self was experiencing in person.

”This... big sis, do you want to try some of this cake?”

”oh! of course we do ” Alice, at my side, offered me some cake, which I gladly ate. She wasn’t even fazed by my fights with Eira anymore, and Selene didn’t intervene either, since we both told her it was our way of getting along.

Besides, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take out my accumulated insactitivities on her, so cat fights were the best option.

’Wait a minute, that’s a mixed armament instructor opostando huh?...even Aposto, for Eira?,...tch, I’ll make you lose your money, old man.’

I was a little distracted when I saw an instructor betting too, but his mistake was not betting on me, well it’s time to get serious.

”Oh, yeah, bite her there. Yeah, that’s her weak spot - bingo, I won!” Yes, that happens when I get serious, I will ignore the image I gained by biting it in a sensitive place and enjoy my victory.

”Big sis, you said that out loud.”

”Eh?... （⊙ｏ⊙） yeah, sorry. My bad.”

I have to be careful, I got a little excited. well I don’t think anyone listened, but moving on, I kept flirting with alice.

”But, Alice, could I have that cherry on your cake?”

”Uh... sure, big sister, here.”

”Oh, Alice’s delicious cherry, how exquisite!”

I began to eat the cherry exaggeratedly and suggestively, because well, because I can and love to make my sweet Alice blush.

”Big sister, stop bothering me.”

”I don’t know what you mean. I’m just enjoying my dear Alice’s delicious, juicy cherry.”

”Big sister... Stop it!”

I flirted with my sweet Alice while ignoring my other self, who was celebrating a ridiculous victory over Eira. The image was not at all fitting, so I decided not to dwell on that and enjoy my victory and my flirting with Alice. But hey, it was a fair fight, so I extended my hand.

However, Eira simply pushed my hand away, annoyed. She got up and went to hug Selene, seeking comfort and muttering slurs about me.

’Hey!, I can hear you, what do you mean it I was cheating? You used resonance and bit first. I’m the one who should be complaining.’

What a sore loser. But she’s smart, now she’s hogging Selene. I won the battle, but lost the war. Chris, with a hollow victory, sat back and tried to retrieve Selene from the clutches of the evil Eira.

’That’s it! Show her who’s boss.’

For my part, after claiming my fair share of the money I won, I continued eating. At that moment, the sore loser Eira spoke to me, looking to change tactics.

”Is that okay? That guy sold you out on the first day and even said those things about you, why did you forgive him so easily?”

I never spoke ill of myself; it was Cordelia incriminating me. Well, it’s not like it mattered.

”Well, there was no choice, since he’s my pretty Selene’s boyfriend.... right?”

”That’s it? Don’t lie to me.”

”I’m not lying. If Selene is happy, so am I. And if she wants to be with her boyfriend, that’s fine. It’s not our duty as big sisters to think like that too?.”

”You’re not her big sister. We’re the older ones here, and I’ll never accept that idiot as Selene’s boyfr...”

”Sister?...”

”What I meant is that I will never accept being defeated by that idiot. Next time we’ll have a fair duel,”

As usual, Eira was hiding her overly protective side. The moment Selene showed even a hint of disappointment for not having her support, Eira’s resolve wavered.

The truth was, Eira never accepted our relationship, despite pretending otherwise for her sister’s sake. Her initial approval when things started didn’t last long, and she was always looking for a way to drive a wedge between us. No matter how much she pretended, Eira still couldn’t come to terms with it.

Of course, she couldn’t do much about it—Selene and I were inseparable.

”And well, let’s put that issue aside. If you don’t like Chris, just ignore him. Better, why don’t we talk about the plan for our next examination?”

”Wait, we can’t talk about that, he’s still here.” Eira said suddenly, pointing at Chris.

”Who, me?”

”Yeah, you, you idiot, who else? You don’t belong in our group.”

”Oh... well, is right.”

”Tch... well, not that I’m interested in your plans. Goodbye, my little angel. Goodbye girls. And Eira-chan, I hope you didn’t hit me with something contagious.”

”This damn...!”

’yes definitely, she’s angry’

Leaving that aside, I’ve realized that my perception of language is a bit strange. For starters, even when I say ’Eira-chan’ to Eira, they don’t hear it that way.

Rather, they seem to just hear something like ’Eiry’ or a diminutive that sounds like ’little Eira’. It’s complicated, but I also something interesting.

Trying this out, I once asked Alice to call me ’onee-chan’ instead of ’big sister’.

But she asked me why I wanted her to call me the same way she always does, and when she repeated it, I heard it as ’onee-chan’. I realized it’s more a matter of self-perception of the language.

it’s not as if I listen to everyone in my idioa from my previous life, but rather as if I understand, and things are interpreted automatically in my head, even if it’s not my original language, it’s very strange to describe it, but that’s how I think it works.

So basically, as long as I understand what it means I can say anything and it will automatically adapt and I think I hear it like this. if I think about it, if I use the right word, it might fulfill some of my... desires or things that I’ve always wanted to try. ’It opens up new possibilities.’

Well back to the subject once Chris left we could start the supposed private meeting, even though from my perspective and that of the girls is useless because I’m staying here anyway, but it is true that we have to discuss about the subject, so I left without putting up resistance.

Clack.
