CH 61

We quietly disappeared into the night sky, heading for our destination.

“Master, why don’t you throw away this handicap and go?”

For about ten minutes after we moved to help His Highness Claude and the Sufia, no one spoke, and everyone was silent the whole time. But as time went by, Sarah and Melissa’s irritation exponentially increased. The atmosphere became tense, so much so that the magic power overflowing from their bodies started making a crackling sound. The first one to open her mouth was the self-proclaimed first slave, Sarah.

“It’s disgraceful that you can’t even move through the air with your own power.”

“Ara? But thanks to it, I get to be princess-carried. So, it’s a good thing I haven’t… learned how to move in the air yet.”

“If that’s why you are bothering Master, aren’t you mistaking something insignificant for the essential?”

“You don’t appear to understand our positions, do you? It doesn’t matter if you happen to be his schoolmate or whatever else. Right now, you’re nothing but another of Master’s slaves like the rest of us.”

“Ara? But it was Master who had decided that my experience would be useful in the search for His Highness Claude and Lady Sufia because I happen to be his classmate. Don’t tell me… you think Master’s judgment is wrong?”

I wonder why my stomach is churning so much.

Is this my fault?

We’ll be working together from now on, so I want you guys to get along. I mean it, and also for the well-being of my stomach.

“N-no, that’s not what I’m saying…”

“Still, try a little so that you don’t become a bother to Master anymore…”

“By the way, could you princess-carry Miss Melissa and Miss Sarah after this? I don’t think it’s right to favour one slave over another. Will you please do that for us?”

“I guess I had forgotten that we were sisters, even though we are not of the same blood.”

“Alright, take your time to enjoy the princess-carry to your heart’s content.”

Aah, the conversation between the three girls is painful to my ears.

“I got it. I got it. If we perfectly complete today’s missions, Melissa and Sarah will get enough of the princess-carry next time, so stop fighting. Also, Bridgette, tomorrow you’ll have to learn at least one way to move through the air.”

“Crush, pound, chop, I’ll finish them all at once! Then I’ll have my time being princess-carried.”

“Ahh, I’m getting wet just imagining it.”

[EDN: Tf.]

“Master, teach me how to move in the air next time, yes, with a little of your help.”

I wonder if I made a mistake in the way I responded. I think so, seeing the reaction of each of the girls.

By the time we arrived at our destination, I barely managed to survive listening to these girls.
