Maou Gakuin No Futekigousha Chapter 66

Chapter 66

66 . Tranquil morning

In the darkness, I felt a little hand touch me .

“Arnos . ”

I hear the voice of a familiar girl as I’m gently shaken .

“Breakfast . ”

I open my eyes and see a girls face looking at me .

Beautiful blue eyes and long platinum blonde hair with ringlets that tickle the tip of my nose .

It’s Misha .

“Woke up?”

“Aah . ”

Misha laughs happily and says

“Good morning . ”

Getting out of my bed I ask Misha

“Why are you here Misha?”

I draw a magic circle under my feet and change my pyjamas into my uniform instantly .

“Practising making bento today . ”

I see . Was my mother teaching you how to make bento’s while she was making mine?

“I also made breakfast . ”

“I’m looking forward to it . ”

Misha blinks several times and looks surprised at my words .

“What’s wrong?”

“Going to eat?”

“We are talking about breakfast right?”

Misha nods a couple of times and points to herself .

“Mine?”

“Can’t I?”

“Mother made Arnos’ share . ”

I see .

“Let’s go then . ”

“Nn . ”

Misha answers plainly like normal and opens the door .

Her expression is as deadpan as ever but she seems depressed .

“I’ll happily trade my breakfast for the one Misha made . ”

Misha stares into my eyes searching for my true intent .

“………That okay?”

“If it’s okay with you . ”

Misha thought a little before answering .

“Arnos likes mothers cooking . ”

“I do indeed, but I seldom get a chance to eat your cooking . ”

Misha looked down a little and smiled a shy but happy smile .

“Gentle . ”

“I’m just whimsical . ”

Misha shakes her head .

“Did Arnos understand?”

“Understand what?”

“My feelings?”

“That you were a bit disappointed?”

Misha lowers her eyes slightly when I pointed it out .

“…… . . Embarra.s.sed…… . . ”

“You often look at me as well . ”

When it comes to seeing right to the bottom of my heart no one else comes close to matching Misha .

“However, my demon eyes won’t lose to you . ”

When I say that Misha’s eyes open a little and she laughs .

“Did I say something funny?”

“Have a guess”

Why did she laugh?

“Are you happy?” (A)

“Look more . ” (M)

Misha answered me but didn’t give me an actual answer .

Misha heads down to the living room and I follow .

Breakfast is set out ready on the table but only for two people .

“My parents?”

“Work . ”

My dad is still helping out the workshop that helped him with the Kongo Iron sword . Thanks to the demon sword tournament my dad seems to have been acknowledged as a superior craftsman now . He’s even been told he can go and help out anytime he wants in the future .

“My mom?”

“A customer asked for an appraisal at their home but it’s quite far away . ”

So she left early then .

“Arnos was tired from the tournament so they said they didn’t want to wake you . ”

I wasn’t actually tired but I guess it’s a parent thing .

“Shall we eat?”

“Nn . ”

It’s usually quite noisy thanks to my noisy parents but me and Misha had a quiet breakfast together .

After finis.h.i.+ng breakfast we tidy up and leave the house together .

Walking side by side we take a leisurely walk to school .

I could have used but we have plenty of time . There’s no need to hurry .

It’s not a bad feeling at all attending school while slowly taking in the morning streets .

“That’s… . . ?”

We encounter a face we know well .

It’s Sasha and she’s looking at us suspiciously .

“……… . Why are you coming to school with Misha?”

“Because we met this morning . ”

“I can see that you’ve met up . I was asking why . Don’t you want to tell me? Is the explanation awkward?”

“Bento . ” Misha says . “I had Arnos’ mother teach me . ”

“I see . Hmph . You did say you were learning cooking . If you were going this morning you should have told me . ”

Sasha seems slightly dissatisfied . Do you feel left out?

“I said . ”

“Eh? When?”

“When I went out this morning . ”

Sasha looks down in thought but doesn’t seem to remember at all .

“You’d already gone when I got up though…… . ”

Misha shakes her head .

“That was the second time . ”

“Lie…… . Really…… . ?”

I see . Sasha fell asleep again after Misha told her .

“Fumu . Sasha’s weak in the mornings it seems . ”

“I’m not really……… . ”

Misha nods at me .

“Very weak . ”

“I’m not . It just takes me a while to get out of bed, my head is all fluffy and my memories a bit vague . That’s all . ”

How is that not weak? Have you listened to yourself?

“What’s with those triumphant eyes?” (S)

“It’s fine . It’s nothing to be ashamed about . Being weak in the mornings isn’t a problem . Your life isn’t over because of it . ”

“Can you stop talking like you’re saying something really important?” (S)

I told her she didn’t have to be ashamed but it looks like she didn’t understand what I was saying .

“Whatever . It’s fine . Let hurry up and get going . ” (S)

As soon as Sasha started walking Misha hurried after her .

“Angry?”

“About what?”

“…… . . I went alone . ”

“I don’t mind that . It can’t be helped that you expressly left early this morning and made a big detour to Arnos’s house . ”

Misha looks down thinking .

“……I won’t go anymore……”

“Why? I said I don’t mind . If Misha wants to go then just go . ”

Misha falls silent and I start laughing .

“What are you laughing at?”

“Nothing at all except you’ve done nothing but lie since we met up Sasha . If you wanted to come to my house you should just say so . ”

“I……… . I didn’t say I wanted to come or anything……”

Her words feebly drop off at the end .

“There’s no point in being stubborn . You are weak in the mornings and couldn’t come anyway but don’t worry about it . In front of me, your morning weakness means nothing . ”

“… . . Errrm . You seem to be exaggerating a bit there but what do you intend to do?”

“I’ll come to you and wake you up myself . ”

“… . . Eh . ”

Sasha’s face turns beet red .

“I’m not as nice as Misha . Don’t think I’ll let you fall asleep twice in front of me . ”

I look into Sasha’s eyes while talking .

“……Ah………”

“What’s your answer?”

Sasha couldn’t meet my eyes and looks down .

“………………………… . . Yes………… . ”

Sasha’s answer is very faint . Is it really so embarra.s.sing not being able to get up in the morning?

“We can all go together next time . ” I say to Misha who nods happily .

“… . . Bu…… . but…its weird that Arnos will come to wake me up just so I can go to Arnos’ house . ”

Sasha starts mumbling to herself .

“Yo . Good morning . ”

I turned around and Ray was standing there .

“Yo . ”

Misha and Sahsa say good morning to Ray together .

“Have you always gone to school together?”

“No . It’s just a coincidence this morning . ”

Ray walks over to my side .

“Oh, by the way . Do you have any idea where I can find a good demon sword?”

“Fumu . A stand-in for Initeio?”

“Because it was spectacularly broken it can be fixed but it will take quite a while so I need a replacement for the time being . ”

Fair enough . Not like he can have Sheila become his sword every time he needs one . I wonder if I’ve got a suitable sword for Ray in my treasury?

“Good morning everyone!”

In the distance, Misa waved at us and runs over to us where we greet her .

“This is unusual all of you attending school together . ”

“Yeah . Apparently its a coincidence . ” Ray says .

“That’s right . *Fufufu* but it’s nice being able to attend school this way since I was always alone in the mornings . ” (Misa)

“That’s surprising . I didn’t think you were someone that got lonely easily . ”

“Ahahaha… . . That’s a secret…… . ”

As two people make a little exchange we continue on our way to Deruzogedo enjoying the tranquil morning calm .
