The morning breeze that was starting to turn cold blew quietly in the Astarte Kingdom. The Astarte Festa is about to begin and people from within the kingdom and beyond are looking forward to the event.

Hilda and I were at a clothing store. The shopkeeper who was serving us was very aggressive from seeing the two of us. The problem was simple, he thought that we were lovers.

I had already given her an explanation of my relationship with Hilda, but she always denied it and sometimes overwhelmed me, so I only asked her to choose clothes for Hilda. Fortunately, this is not a store that doubles with underwear.

I could be considered a sex criminal, it could be bad if it was calculated like that. I could only hear the chatter from the shopkeeper who happened to be a woman, now he was with Hilda behind the curtain of the dressing room.

I was just flirting with myself when I heard Hilda's grievance that seemed to object to the shopkeeper's service. Until a sentence that came out of his mouth can make my hair goosebumps.

“It's better that Kuro just replace the clothes for me."

And that was when I turned to flee, a strong hand held back my black shirt collar. I can feel the breath of the lust that comes out unstable.

Not only that, even his figure was now approaching me, "Master, it seems like I have misunderstood you. He's not your partner, but it looks like a wife, huh?" the whisper is gentle but with a maniacal tone.

"Ciii.... "

When I tried to let go of his grip, his presence was now right behind me a few inches. His body docked, "Then, what if you were the only one to change clothes for him," he said softly in a tone as cold as the ice queen.

My body shivered and somehow my legs moved on their own without any clear command from my brain. I tried to fight but I couldn't do anything. For some reason I turned to the shopkeeper and.

He smiled happily very widely, his hands waving and his face flushed red. He seemed to give me an invisible message indicating 'May be successful, sir' and he took out a tissue from the right pocket of his shirt, then he shrank his eyes even though there were no tears.

Good luck JIDATMU!!!

But since I couldn't stop, it seemed like the guard was using magic on me so that I couldn't escape easily. Right now I hope nothing strange happens.

As soon as I opened the curtain, what I saw was fortunately not in the fifth level or the world was on standby for an asteroid. Fortunately, Hilda had only partially removed her clothes, she still wore her red shirt and black tie as well.

With a full skirt and black stocking that is quite transparent, "Hilda.

Hilda just lowered her head in embarrassment without looking at me. His face was now like a ready-made boiled crab, even I could see steam billowing over his face.

"Then turn around, take off your shirt. I'm going to face the opposite direction as well so we turn our backs on each other" I suggested softly.

He nervously twisted his body, after which began to take off his red shirt where the tie slipped off first. I could hear him exhaling quite tensely.

"Where are the clothes that the shopkeeper suggested for you" I asked.

I looked around but did not turn back, there was a red sweater

white stripes on his long arm. With a black skirt that doesn't seem too short.

I assume that this is the outfit that the shopkeeper suggested for him. Then I lifted the sweater, I did not expect that there was still one more outfit, a slightly thin white tanktop.

For the bread of wheat, I die. The moment I saw that, a perverted thought stopped by my brain for a while. I put it out immediately by shaking my head.

"Hilda, have you taken your clothes off?" askaku.

A slow pull was felt at the back of my robe. I immediately handed the sweater, tanktop and skirt to him. My hand shook quite violently and Hilda's hand that received it was the same as mine, shaking.

I waited for him for a while and then turned around to make sure. But, it seems that what I did was wrong. Because he was currently having trouble using the sweater, as a result I could see his chest protruding even his underwear black.

Gulp ...

Fortunately she managed to use her skirt well, otherwise? I fainted because I ran out of blood in my nose.

Well do it or not, I immediately helped Hilda use the sweater properly. Not long after, I could see his face. His red eyes seemed to see me well.

Calm and serene. Her lips are sweet like strawberries in the morning, red, fresh, and slightly sour yet addictive. She still looked at my face that was very close to her.

His body was draped so close to my chest. I don't know why I'm hypnotized by her incredible beauty. And I'm still wondering why he doesn't have a companion yet.

I looked carefully at his body. With a sweater that is perforated from both shoulders to the neck, her skin is white and clean. The tanktop strap looks out embracing his left and right shoulders.

Because the sweater is not too big to make his body look very beautiful. Black skirt to parts

the upper knee and two black stockings that cover both legs are very appetizing.

"Hmm.. it seems like there is still less," I murmured softly.

"Huh?"

I also directly use the invigorating magic, "Vecta.... "

From the palm of my right hand appeared a small green rune and from within it was as gentle as a gentle breeze coming out, caressing his face as well as his neck. Removing the back ties of her neat white hair.

With hair that was previously neatly tied, it now becomes perfectly unraveled. With the bangs that fit perfectly to beautify the front of his face, "Finally finished too. well gini will be more beautiful," said me gently with a small smile.

When I was still staring at the blessed beauty in front of me, she suddenly just soaked her face in my chest.

"Eh... ?"

"It's a little embarrassing, because it's only this time that I don't wear my usual clothes" she said slowly as she looked at me like a small milking beast with wide eyes and blushing cheeks.

At first I was speechless with a flat face, but deep in my heart I cried out loud because I could not help but hold back that sweet expression.

I'm astonished. Who is ashamed here.

“Tenace. After all, it is rare that we can get a day like this,”, I said and pinched Hilda's nose slowly.

“Ouchh! K-Kuro's... “

“Believe in. You are one of the sweetest women I have ever met”

"W-what do you mean, K-Kuro-?" tanyanya stutters.

"Listen.today is a special day as it will enter Astarte Festa. It's only natural that you take off your servant's clothes and move on to clothes like this, I want you to enjoy it too."

Slowly he let me go. Maybe he's preparing mentally, I don't know, but for sure it's a good sign.

"Feel better?"

Hilda just nodded slowly while occasionally stealing glances at me. After that we went out while paying for the clothes that Hilda was wearing. Luckily it's not too expensive and I'm grateful for that.

As soon as we walked out of the store, everyone I saw was staring up into the sky. I saw her and it turned out that it was a visualization of Irina who might say something.

The kingdom has a unique system. Like having two titles, Irina is currently the queen and principal of Swordia Academy itself.

I could see him standing on a podium. When his right hand was raised, I could feel the enthusiastic intentions of everyone around me.

[With this the Astarte Festa series of events begins.].

“It looks like I missed something. but, yeah, that's it. The festival is also already underway..”.

Then came several fireballs out of nowhere that shot into the sky and exploded simultaneously. It was then that the voices of spirit and enthusiasm cheered very loudly.

Maybe because of reflexes or something, but right now I'm holding Hilda's hand.

"What's with that face, Hilda?" my many.

"E-e. no, it's just .. This is my first time in a man's company" he said with embarrassment.

"Hmm .. so it's like that" I muttered. "It's better that you walk next to me if you don't want to be teased by the drunken om-om in that bar" I said with a nosy smile.

Hilda was quite surprised, because her appearance was now no longer like a servant but like a beautiful woman who was a loner.

He immediately grabbed my right hand and flanked it between his chest. Because he was quite afraid.he was indeed not afraid of monsters and so on. But when it comes to dealing with a man he doesn't know yet, he's like a frightened child.

But where did his servant's clothes go?

"Speaking about clothes." I murmured.

"Let me keep it in using the magic of the reducer," he said and he also recited the fast rune.

A magic circle emerged from the top and bottom of the cardboard bag and made it shrink. After that he took it and kept it in his skirt pocket.

I did not expect that he would stick like this to me, though I only ordered him to walk beside me. But apparently Hilda was holding my hand as if I were her partner.

Huh. but if he's happy, I don't mind him. After all, he had been confined to the Tower of Entia for 300 years. However, it seems that something is not right with this Astarte Festa.

Although I felt that something was awkward, but at least I wanted to enjoy it together with the people I knew.

***

In the central part of the city some people with silver blue Handband walked around. They are Astarte Festa's security forces in case of chaos. Reya, Hiro, Fiana and Satella. They seem to enjoy this Astarte Festa even though they are on a patrol.

"Hm... Reya, aren't you hungry?" ask Hiro suddenly.

"Maybe a little. How's yours?" ask Reya.

Hiro immediately nodded, "Fiana, Satella?"

"Hmm .. I'm the same as Reya, but if you're hungry, Hiro. We can take a short break" Satella said.

"I agree with Satella" Fiana said.

Then they agreed to take a break, now they want to go to the food stall on the corner of the main street of the kingdom of Astarte. There Hirolah was the most excited when they had arrived.

He ordered a lot of food even though his body was small like a 7-year-old, while Reya only ordered one large glass of orange juice with one warm grape pie.

Fiana ordered three grilled sandwiches, one glass of warm milk and a small bowl of salad. Then the last is Fiana he only ordered one bowl of sweet bean porridge and one large glass of water.

In between them enjoying the food they ordered, Reya seemed to be worried, "What's up, Reya," asked Hiro who was aware of his worries.

"It's not just that I wonder why Fear and Velia's attitude suddenly changed when they finished patrolling this morning" he said, inserting a piece of wine pie into his mouth.

"I also want to ask the same thing about it to the two of you" Satella said suddenly.

Reya gulped down her orange juice quietly, "About that maybe this is just some baseless speculation that I always question myself."

Hiro, Satella and Fiana start putting on serious faces even though they are eating their own food, "It's possible that they were both exposed to unidentified magic or they found someone dangerous and threatened them both to keep their mouths shut" Reya said.

"That's what I've been thinking about since their nature changed" he continued, then he began to take a small note from his fairly wide back pocket.

"I don't think anything like that is possible" said Fiana.

Hiro and Reya looked at each other then they looked at Fiana, "Why?" ask them both.

"That's because along the outer walls of the kingdom has been installed the Deterrent runes, you must remind about the meeting that night," explained Fiana.

"Hmm.. sorry, I'm forgetful," said Reya then he wrote important things in his little note.

"But there must be a limit, right? The rune boundary was going to disappear because it was running out of time" Hiro said by examining the rune seen outside the kingdom as he looked through the glass of the food stall.

"That doesn't explain it, Hiro," said Satella. "The rune has been strengthened by the principal's Crystal Enchant, so if it runs out of time it will be right if after this Festa is completed, the function of the rune will disappear" he continued.

"Ahhh .. deserve—“

Yet they were all suddenly struck by a beautiful voice. The sound was like it was echoing and bouncing around the entire kingdom itself. Even Reya who was famous for crafts when it came to records, now she stopped and enjoyed the sound.

Out of nowhere? Who's playing it? What kind of musical instrument makes that sound? but one thing they do know, this voice is so soothing.

In another place a handsome white-haired man was enjoying the cotton candy he had just bought from his shop. With quite a radiant face, but the look in his eyes was so full of dark aura.

Other students include Sightmund, Shiena, Loki, Mai, Lily, Shiren, Mea, Nheil, Satella, Grey, and also Wesley who was both resting immediately calmed down when he heard this unknown sound.

Like a whistle in a vast meadow. So smooth and makes the heart full of his game. Sounds vary from slow to stagnant and sometimes fast to rhythmic.

The other teachers were like being carried away by this voice as well, they put on a face that was so peaceful and serene. No exception for Aresya, Irina, and also their Regin who was working on several document manuscripts and location mapping also fell silent when listening to this sound.

But not for Fear and Velia they were still thinking about that time, the time when the man crossed paths with them. They were very eager to meet him once .. especially Fear who had been crying for no reason and always muttering ... 'Why did you leave me, Kuro'...

Unlike the Oz Selina. The two of them fell silent in shock, but on the other side looked elated. Only one person always plays such whistles.

Selina let out tears, while Oz calmed her by stroking her back.

"What should I beware of... Young Master," he murmured softly.

Behind the beauty of the voice there is a very deep secret message and warning of danger....

—Be careful something bad is coming.
