Contract and the Demon King

Because the change happened almost instantly, Teresa, who was suddenly "attacked", stayed for two seconds as a matter of course.

Afterwards, the screams attracted the attention of people around, but after seeing that no accident happened here, such gazes disappeared one after another.

"Long time no see, Teresa."

"It's true to say hello this way of course, but why did you do something like that just now!"

"That's the way to say hello."

"Is the way to say hello is to hit the chest? Please use the normal method!"

Teresa, who was brutally attacked in the chest, said angrily. Even so, the other party who was preached did not seem to have any intention of introspection.The direct result of this reaction was that the girl who was not effective in preaching became even more angry.

Yate, who looked at these, didn't know how to react for a while.

If it is a companion under normal circumstances... and if it is a female companion who is attacked by a strange man in the store, then the next step is basically to enter the stage of fighting.But this kind of "general" does not apply at this moment.

Because the other party is not a stranger, nor a man.

But it's not someone that Art knows, so I don't know what to say.

"that……"

Finally, the boy decided to intervene in the conversation between the two.

"Excuse me, this is..."

"Ah, speaking of it, Art hasn't seen it yet."

Teresa knew that she only remembered this fact now, and the "opponent" also turned her attention to Art.

The two strangers looked at each other.

"Wait...wait for me!"

Then, a girl who suddenly had a bad feeling immediately inserted herself between the two of them.And it stood in front of Yate as if protecting something.

"I can't watch it anymore. I always feel that if a playboy like Art continues to watch it like this, something terrible will happen."

"Huh? Why? And I'm not much of a playboy."

What happened to cause Teresa to have such a misunderstanding, Art couldn't help thinking.

"This kind of statement is not even convincing at all from the guy who just declared that he has dated different girls a dozen times!"

Teresa's expression is almost like a kitten being on guard, and because this is not something worth joking about with her life.So Yate has no plan to risk his life to break through the block.

However, even if it was protection, Teresa's body alone couldn't completely block the girl behind her.

It was a girl with long cherry-colored hair.

Age... looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, which is about the same age as Art.Unlike him and Theresa who were wearing casual clothes, the girl was wearing a very durable brown travel suit, in addition to a hooded cloak for wind and sand protection.

It was obvious that he had just returned from outside the city, and he was obviously dressed like a traveler, but it was set off by the girl's beauty.But it has a special charm that cannot be ignored.

No, there seems to be something else besides beauty.

Attracted by the wonderful aura exuded by the cherry-haired girl, Yate couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

"Ah, Art is blushing!"

Teresa, who discovered something, became angrier for some reason, and Art, who noticed her gaffe, quickly tried to adjust.

But such an attempt also ended in failure.

"Theresa. Who is this?"

Since she had never seen it before, of course the cherry-haired girl didn't know the blushing boy.

"The name of this playful guy is Yate, and it was Sister Yao who came to the orphanage after she left the city."

I don't know why, Teresa deliberately emphasized her tone when she said "the guy with a heart".

"Sister Yao?"

What Art noticed was another word.

........................

Yue, who was walking on the street, stopped suddenly.

Because it was too sudden, so sudden that there was no time for people to react.As a result, Mei, who was following him, directly bumped into him. If Yue, who hadn't reacted, quickly hugged Mei, the girl would have fallen to the ground due to the reaction force.

Yue also held the freshly bought ingredients steadily, so they didn't drop them on the ground at all because of this.

"it's wired……"

Just now I don't know why.The anxiety in my heart suddenly became much stronger, and it was not without trace.Instead, it has a vague direction.

Although he couldn't describe the specific feeling, but a feeling similar to intuition made him cast his gaze in a certain direction.

Because I am not familiar with this city.So he didn't know where it was over there.

Don't know what's there either.

However, these are not important at this moment.

[Why did you stop suddenly? 】

"Sorry, May. Can I take a short detour?"

........................

The girl who "attacked" Theresa seemed to be the protagonist of tonight's celebration.

It is said that Teresa and the dean decided on the name together.The original meaning is "a visitor from a distant world", but it was shortened to Chengyao.As for why I need someone else to help me figure out the name——

"Sister Yao, like Brother Yue, lost her memory when she appeared in the orphanage."

Theresa sat down and explained to Art.Because the ingredients have been bought, the two have now left the shopping street and came to a small park nearby.

By the way, the two of them were still holding the ice cream they had just bought.Of course, the money was not paid by two people who had no extra funds.The guest was Haruka, and the cherry-haired girl herself was sitting next to Teresa, holding a strawberry-flavored ice cream cone in her hand.

"Theresa, is there an event tonight?"

"Well, it's actually..."

Art, who was about to explain, was quickly gagged by Theresa's hand.

"No, there is nothing, we are definitely not planning anything, just going out to buy things normally."

"Is that right?"

"Yes, it is like that."

Yate was surprised to find that after hearing Teresa's flawed words, the cherry-haired girl actually believed it.

Is it because of the loss of memory, so common sense and the like are also messed up?Or is it just a character that doesn't doubt what others say?

Considering the behavior the other party made when they first met, Art felt that the former was more likely.And even though she also lost her memory, the cherry-haired girl in front of her gave people a completely different feeling from Brother Yue. That kind of gentle and virtuous feeling and a certain temperament made Art inexplicably think of becoming the first princess of Roland Her Royal Highness Philia.

No, there are still some differences, it's better to say that there are more...

"Yat, you shouldn't have any bad things."

What brought Art back to his senses was Teresa's sharp gaze.

Yate, who hadn't thought of anything bad at first, quickly explained.

"No, I just remembered something about Her Royal Highness."

"Yate actually shot at the princess? Is that why he was kicked out?"

"Hey! Why is there such a misunderstanding? Besides, Her Royal Highness is older than me, and she is a very noble, dignified, virtuous and gentle woman."

"...Sister Royal Control."

"So it's a misunderstanding! Besides, it's not me who attacked Her Royal Highness, but..."

……

……

……

Eh?

The person who attacked the princess was...

Just when Art was confused by this.

In front of my eyes, there was a figure that should not have appeared here... To be continued. .
