“Slade, do you have a moment?” She came. She was here. It was terrifying. pondering society’s true purpose while I pretended to nap, when the devil approached me.
Kahit na ang aking mga mata ay sarado, naiintindihan at Nararamdaman ko ang presensiya ng isang demonyon nag-iintay sa kaniyang alalay na magising.

My computer-like brain instantly executed all the calculations to arrive at the answer I most needed.
Conclusion: I’d pretend not to hear her. I had dubbed this the “Sleeping Strategy.”
If she were a kind girl, then she would say something like, “Aw, well, there’s nothing to be done. I’d feel bad to wake you, so I’ll forgive you. " or maybe “If you don’t get up, I’ll kiss you!” would also be okay.
“If you do not awaken within three seconds, I will bestow additional punishment upon you.”
“What do you mean, ‘punishment’?” I asked.
In an instant, I’d abandoned my “Sleeping Strategy” and yielded to her threats of force. Well, at least I offered some resistance by not meeting her
gaze.
“See, you are awake after all, aren’t you?” she said.
“I know enough that I’m afraid to make you angry.”
“Glad to hear it. Well then, may I have a little of your time?”
“kapag tumanggi ako?"
“Well, even though you have no right to veto such a decision, Isuppose I would be exceptionally displeased.”
She continued with, “And when I am displeased, then I will prove amajor obstacle to you. For example, when you go to the toilet, I might splash water on you from above. Or stab you with you with my Laevatein while you are sleeping. Those kinds of obstacles, I suppose.”
“That’s nothing but harassment, or rather, bullying! And besides, that last one sounds strangely familiar, because you’ve already stabbed me before!”
Nagdadalawang isip man ay umupo ako sa kama na aking hinihigaan . A girl with beautiful, sharp eyes and long red hair that framed her face stared down at me. Her name was Crimson blood, a student of the Noxonia Academy, Class A, and my Roommate.
“Don’t worry. That was only a joke. I wouldn’t splash water on you from above.”
“What’s more pressing is the stabbing me with your imperial sword! Look at this! There are still marks from when you stabbed me the last time!Will you take responsibility if it scars me for life?” I rolled up my right sleeve and displayed my forearm to Crimson, so she could see the scars she’d left behind.
I certainly didn’t like how this situation had turned out, but… I thought back to when I’d met this girl
two months ago.
AFTER three hours of walking when I finally Arrived at the town. Habol hininga ang aking ginawa at napagdesisyunan na magpahinga sa ilalim ng punong malapit sa aking kinatatayuan
First, i have to find a lodging house just nearby. I feel exhausted like i could die here any minute now. Does father even know how far the palace from the town? He at least considered to bring me here through his Teleportation magic
I'm lucky that noxonia academy is a boarding school. hindi ko na kakailanganin pang maglakad palagi mula palasyo hanggang Academy dahil siguradong hindi ko kakayanin
if only i can use my spatial magic....i can easily go to the academy in one second. but the thing is I can only transport myself to the places i've Already seen
Pwede naman ako lumipad kaso pagkakaguluhan ako ng mga naninirahan dito dahil makakakita sila ng gwapong binata na lumilipad
Three men suddenly stopped in front of me, one of them is carrying a sacred weapon—weapons that are meant to kill demonoids from underworld
'Akrafena..'
"How'd you get that sword?"pinagmasdan ko ang lalaking May hawak ng Mahiwagang espada
Khael Giruard. Age 19, and the grandson of a former knight.
Madali lamang sa akin ang malaman ang impormasyong ng isang tao since I'm used to use my ability to get information whenever I encounter a stranger
"this? My grandfather gave me this sword as a gift for passing the entrance exam at noxonia Academy"
'The same academy as me'
It's no coincidence. noxonia Academy is one of the greatest Academy for Magicians and Knights
"putting aside. Why are you here? Do you even know how dangerous this place?"
"I got tired, so i'm taking a little break" staying here won't do anything good for me
"May Alam ba kayo ditong lugar kung saan pwedeng matuluyan kahit isang gabi?"
Lumingon siya sa dalawa niyang kasama na umiling lamang sa kaniya at ibinalik ang tingin sa aking gawi"This is my second time here so I'm no familiar with this town, but I heard there's 'Ash Void Inn' and 'Crimson Moon Inn'. the closest from this area is the Crimson moon"
"Gaano kalapit?" agaran kong tanong
"Mga limampung kilometro mula sa kinatatayuan natin ngayon"
"eh?" Sinulyapan ko ang dalawa sa likod niya na agad na tumango sinasabing nagsasabi siya ng totoo
a masked woman riding a white horse passed our way. She stopped and approached us as she removed the veil from her face
"Is there a problem here? Is that man making trouble?"Crimson hair that seemed to embody waves of blazing fire.
Ruby pupils on a beautiful foreign face, had been staring at me daggers.
With that being said, I glared at her back 'What the heck is she talking about?'
the three of them almost drop their jaw the moment they saw her face "L-L-L-Lady c-c-crimson blood. N-n-no, he's j-j-just asking the w-way to Crimson Moon" lumuhod ang tatlong lalaki at yumuko sa kaniyang harapan
'hey, what's with that reaction, guys?
' Blood...when was it the last time I heard of that surname?'
Oh, Right, the blood nobles of Vamp Empire. the race of half-blood vampires and half humans. Unlike pure-Blooded vampires, half-blooded vampires can actually live like a normal human since they don't need to suck bloods from human to regain their Powers
She took a moment to look at my behavior causing me to wonder what she was thinking. I used my [Clairudience skill]—an ability to hear other person's thought within the user's field of vision
'A level 50? What with this weakling doing here?"
Muli nitong ibinalik ang tingin sa tatlong lalaki"Is that so?"
Tumayo naman ang tatlo na May pagkamangha pa rin sa mga mata"y-y-yes, y-your highness"
Muli nitong ibinalik ang paningin sa gawi ko "i'll take you there"
"Okay" I didn't feel like answering her after hearing what she said about me
the man in front of me—Which is khael—whispered "You are talking to a noble, didn't you learn to show some respect?"
'I'm a royalty, you know? My authority is higher than her'
Reluctantly, I stood up from my seat and kneel in front of the her "oh~ I'm in no position to refuse such opportunity to ride with you, Lady Crimson. thank you very much"
'wait...this man..he remember me of someone' Dinig ko na naman sa bahagi ng isip niya
nagtungo siya pabalik sa pwesto ng kaniyang kabayo na akin naman sinundan "suit yourself, But Don't get the wrong idea. It just happened that I have business there."
"Uh.. Saan ako pu-puwesto?"
'isn’t it weird when the man is positioned behind the woman while riding the horse?'
"Why'd you asked? Of course in the back, unless you know how to ride a horse"
"Well, I do" Bumaba ito sandali at ako ang ipinalit sa kaniyang puwesto
As she sat behind me, I held her two hands and wrapped around my waist that made her shocked with my sudden action
'WH-WH-WHAT?!"
"H-hey"
"Hold On tight for the ride of your life, your highness"
Kumaway ako sa tatlong lalaki na nakatayo sa malaking puno at nagpaalam "Until we meet again"
IT took us two hours 'til we arrived at the place "Crimson Moon inn" as i read the sign
"Ikaw may ari nito?"tanong ko sa kaniya bago niya buksan ang pintuan
"nagkataon lang na kapangalan ko ang may ari" saktong bumukas ang pinto
Bumungad sa akin ang babaeng—huh?!, This girl... She looks like The girl who's next to me, are they twin? she seems bit taller than her and— "Why...are you staring at me?" Before i realized that i was staring at her, crimson spoke "you can go back to your original form now"
"aww..no fun" After saying that, its form changed to a Beautiful Woman
Her name was Crimson Moon, 42 years old. Level 33 with transformation ability
i'd read some books about this skill, though, i didn't seen anyone who's capable using it just before now.
"And who is this handsome young man with you? Huwag mo sabihing nakahanap ka na ng manliligaw" the lady asked after she studied me carefully
'There's no way i would date a commoner'
Hey... becareful of your language. Commoner, you say?
Just who are you calling a commoner? Do you even know that my family is the highest ranking of richest kingdom?
[Imagination]
"Who are you calling a commoner? Do you even know that I am Prince Slade Averruncus of perthoi kingdom?"
"What? Y-you're prince Slade? The eldest son of the best magician in the history? " she was embarrased
'I feel bad for calling him a commoner'
"U-uhmm...I'm a big fan of your dad, s-so uh... would you mind if you go out with me?" halos hindi na niya ako matignan sa mga mata dahil sa kanyang tanong
"you mean date?" I ask
"Yes, d-d-date"
"Why would i date you? you called me a commoner, didn't you?"
"Y-yeah b—"
"i declined. i prefer pretty women with thin waistline and thick thighs" Umalis ang dalaga puno ng pagsisisi
[End of imagination]
"Bwahahahaahaha" serves you right woman
'What's this guy laughing about? is he an idiot?'
Nakadinig na naman ako ng boses sa bahagi ng isip niya dahilan para mapatigil ako sa aking imahinasyon at Ibinalik ang aking postura
'This woman really pisses me off'
"I bet he's thinking about you, lady crimson" said the older crimson
Sumingit ako sa usapan nila "pagod ako ngayon kaya kung maari sana ay pwede ko ng makuha ang susi ng aking kwarto dahil gusto ko na makapagpahinga"
"Oh, I apologized, that's rude of me." she took a key from her pocket and handed it to me. I immediately took the key and made my way to the stairs
Hindi pa ako tuluyang nakakalayo ay tinawag niya ako "by the way, what's your name?"
Hinarap ko siya at ipinakilala ang sarili "I'm...Slade. Slade Pheried"
