[Eon's POV: ]
"Haaa… anyway, Miss Titania. Orange flavor… I think it will be a little difficult."
"Why?" She asked with a sudden worried expression and I shook my head with a sad smile.
"It's nothing serious, but I ended up using all the usable orange slime's condensed essence on me last time so I think it will take a while for us to get our hands on one since it is so rare and always monopolized by the big organizations on this island."
Titania was sad to hear that but my words also meant that what I said wasn't hopeless so she looked at me and was just about to answer with a happy smile when…
"Oh!" Lizzy shouted all of a sudden when I said those sixty percent true words of mine and we all looked at her.
"I think Deleon has a few orange slimes. I can ask him if he has any condensed essence on him."
It was quite a surprising suggestion coming from her, and Titania had no reason to deny such a great offer.
"Liz! I don't know how you do it, but go ask him as soon as you can! And don't worry about the price! Ask for anything he wants in return! I have a rare <Deep ocean pearl> if he wants to trade that essence with me too!" She shouted once again and this time, she even went up to Lizzy and lifted her hand with her little hands.
'She really is far stronger than she looks. Amazing…'
Deleon was some of the most famous energy beast researchers already and his area specialty was slimes.
I wanted to get acquainted with him too but it was not time for that yet even though he is in Rein's house. But it was still a good thing Lizzy was already acquainted with that complicated person.
"Yes, yes. I will go find him as soon as we are done here. I think if I ask really nicely, he will arrange the thing for us."
"Yes~! Thanks, Liz!"
She hugged her face too with an excited smile, totally forgetting the person that was supposed to make the dish she wanted to eat so dearly.
"Thanks to you too Lucifer! If you do make it is like I know, then I will repay you to the best of my abilities too~!" She cheerfully said and bowed before me while still flying with her butterfly-like red wings.
'She didn't forget about me but would only truly express her happiness when I make that sweet for her. A peculiar fairy indeed.'
She was adorable and strong, dangerous and smart, mature and friendly too. She was indeed as special as her background.
"Look forward to it then. I will do my best to finish it as soon as I get the condensed essence."
"Yes! Look forward to it~!" Rein shouted cheerfully and Zoe, Carla, and Quin added their voices as a show of approval.
"Yes! Then let us get going quickly so that Liz can find that Deleon person quickly and Lucifer can make the thing as quickly as possible~! I'm really excited about this! You all will loooooove it when you taste it too~!"
That was definitely true. This unique sweet was far more delicate to prepare and complex to make than its simple-sounding name so it was only natural that they would like it.
"Look forward to it everyone. Especially Carla. You said orange was your favorite right? You will definitely love this thing."
"Really?"
"Certainly."
I nodded with a smile that she very well knew meant for her to actually look forward to this thing, so a smile answering to mine also appeared on her face.
"I will," she assured and the tiny fairy flew up in the room and shouted while looking at everyone below her.
"Alright, everyone! Go! The first house captain meeting concludes here~! Talk with your other captains and finish asking if you have anything. We will all have to gather our house's people anyway so let's go~!"
She flew out first and Princess Luna walked out after her with a graceful bow.
"Alright, Quin and Ara. Let's go too," Carla suggested to her fellow captains and they nodded at her, said her goodbyes to their friends beside them, and went out too.
"Ok then. We will be going too. See you soon everyone."
Then Alph, Chry, and their fellow captains walked out, leaving a few of us there alone.
"Today was fun. I can't wait for the next cooking class." Lizzy gave me a happy smile and I nodded, defiantly agreeing with her words.
"Let's do well next time too."
"Of course~!" She extended her hand and I gladly shook it. We had a fun cooking class and ended up making a good lot for the rest of the class to feast on so the classes had ended with a fun moment.
It was similar for Rein too as she and Clover had their fair share of fun with Quin's surprisingly amazing spirits and the other spirits of their class.
'And she especially learned a new fact about our little kitty. A fact that even I found unbelievably surprising.'
"Alright then. See ya everyone."
She waved at us, Alf waved at us and they also left the class.
Now, the class was almost empty with only the four of us present… and Rein and I had a little something to do so…
"Captain Zoe. You can go ahead to our house's gathering hall. I have a little something to do here so I will join you as quickly as I can.
I have already informed everyone so everyone should be there soon so just hold the field till I'm there."
"Don't worry and take your time~." She smiled cheerfully knowing full well what my 'little something' meant.
"Eula~. You can go too. Or did you have something to ask?" Rein asked her vice-captain and she nodded with her usual flustered face that also had some idea about what was going on.
"Just that Captain, there seems to be a few people from our house that are still unconvinced that you are a good enough person to lead them."
There was a worried expression on her face but Rein shook her head with a simple smile that, in true meaning, she only had when she wanted to beat up a few people.
"Don't worry and just go to the gathering hall as we instructed everyone. See if these opposing people are there and take everyone there to the common practice arena.
Post on the house forums that whoever has any kind of complaint or problem with me, can meet me there. And also add that if they think I'm not good enough to lead the house, then I will duel with all of them at once.
If they lose, then they would just have to shut the fuck up and do what I tell them.
And if they all combined managed to defeat me, no, if they managed to even touch my hair, then I will do everything within my power to give them as much authority as a house captain and if needed, leave the academy myself."
She was smiling excitedly, and even though Nebula was worried about her as the things she had just said were too extreme, she strangely didn't doubt that this lady before her, her captain that had even defeated the captain of the first ranked house without using any great powers this morning, can take down a bunch of young people that only knew how to complain.
"As you wish captain…" she bowed respectfully and walked out of the room with a hint of embarrassment still present on her pretty white face.
"Alright then…"
Now, we were left alone in this room.
"Three minutes only."
And she was biting her dry lips seductively, inviting me to moisturize them.
"No talking…"
She couldn't do much, we couldn't do much, but what we were allowed, was not something we would miss even a single chance of when we had it…
At least, for the most part.

"Haaa… haaa… alright, let us go meet your legen—dary president."
"Haaaa… yes. We also have to talk about that little incident from the day before yesterday. Haaaaa… or else there will be a bigger crack between the vice president and us."
"But what she did was wrong, alright. That is undeniable and unforgivable from my side. Here."
I handed her a glass of water and stood up.
"Thanks. But, that doesn't mean we should keep this bad blood going on between us. She's an important figure, and from what I can tell, she's close to the president."
She was sitting on the table, her clothes and hair in a mess, just like mine.
If just kissing made us like this, I can't even imagine what would happen when we…
"She is close to the president. Perhaps she's the only one close to him. And I know that but still, what she did was wrong and I know she will never apologize for that."
"Haaa… you are too stubborn sometimes. I love it."
She was a weirdo as always. A cute weirdo.
"Alright get up. Come here."
Lifting her from the table and placing her on her own seat, I started tidying up her dark long messy hair.
They were long in this disguise but her original short hair looked the best on her.
"What are we going to give to the two of them as presents though? Food and one of your fun games?" She asked as she also started tiedying up two of our clothes and I nodded while answering, "Yup. And I know for sure they are going to love it so much they will thank us every day for the next few days, and of course, ask for more."
I was smiling, and even though she couldn't see it, she knew I was smiling. Just like I knew she had a bittersweet smile on her pretty face.
"You bad bad boy darling…"
She was happy now. And I knew just like me, she couldn't wait to end things here, take care of a little mouse group, and go to our dorm house.
"Once more," she grabbed the end of my shirt just when I turned back and gave me a very bad look.
'Haaa...'
But we had to go now, so… I gave her a forehead kiss and picked her up, knowing very well she would do as she wanted if I left her like that.
"Hump. You are a bad person."
"Others will have to wait if we are late so let's go finish the stuff with the president already. It's going to take a while anyway."
Looking at my fiancée with a bitter smile, I requested her again with my poor eyes. And she took pity on a helpless soul like me and finally nodded.
"Alright let's go."
She asked me to put her down, I did, and she used her shadow travel skill after kissing me, just like I knew she would…
It was finally time for our meeting with the person that had fascinated us during our early days and with an old and almost forgotten sword style, a unique aura that few in this very nature possessed, and a mythical beast with a pinnacle skill as his family and partner.
He was a person that I truly wanted… and this first meeting would set the foundation of a probable future where he might lead our [Lightshade] as the sword that cuts the very essence of nature's laws and truths…
