Ep 7: The Knight buys a present

Alexander was walking to school but then he heard some students talking in the way.

Student 1: Did you hear the news? There were some monsters in the town!

Student 2: Yeah, also it's commented they were related to a mysterious guy in Knight armor.

Alexander was little worried to hear that.

Student 3: Yeah but according to police declarations, they were fake rumors. Besides they ensure a magic knight and monsters don't exist.

Student 1: I understand. Besides there's no way they exist if we didn't see them.

Alexander was walking to his classroom, then he sat while thinking deeply.

Alexander: Demitri continues sending his monsters after me. Damn!

Cassandra was approaching to him.

Cassandra: The rumors about you, are being more evident.

Alexander: Yeah but for how much longer?

Cassandra: Fine, then I'll help you next time you have a fight.

Alexander: Really? But Cassandra you could be exposed too.

Cassandra: There's no other option. We are here in this time. We have to support each other if we want to protect this town and world.

Alexander: Okay.

They didn't realize some school boys were looking to them.

School boy 1: That Alexander bastard!

School boy 2: He was trying to attract Asuka-chan, and now with our class rep Cassandra-san!

School boy 3: The hell with him!

Asuka and Nao just arrived to see them.

Nao: Oh my! It seems Cassandra-san is taking advantage to Alexander-san before you.

Asuka: (Little upset) Why she!

At that moment, the director arrived to class.

Director: Everyone, return to your seats. I have to introduce someone.

Then a woman with glasses entered, the same woman when director was chatting the other day.

Director: She would be your new teacher. Her name is…

Woman: My name is Natsu Tokisaki. It's nice to meet you. Let's do our best in this semester.

Then she noticed on Asuka and Cassandra.

Natsu: You two! You must be…

Cassandra: (Stepping up) My name is Cassandra Ashford. I'm the class representative.

Natsu: Oh, and the girl who resembles you?

Cassandra: You mean Asuka?

Asuka: Hi! I'm Asuka Hisakawa.

Natsu: (Smiling) Okay, I'll never forget your names. You two are so cute, you are like sisters.

Asuka and Cassandra: (Upset) How like sisters!

After class, some students were leaving. Cassandra got closer to her.

Natsu: Oh Cassandra-san. I expect your collaboration for the class next time.

Cassandra: Excuse me, Natsu-sensei, but have we ever meet before?

Natsu: Hmm? I don't think so. See you tomorrow.

Cassandra: I'm sure I saw her before. I think my memory is bad after being in this time.

Natsu was walking in the hallways.

Natsu: (Smiling evilly) My old students, Helena and Cassandra. (Then she noticed Alexander was leaving the school) And you too, Dragon Knight.

At next day, Asuka was walking in the school hallways until she heard something inside a room.

Cassandra's voice: Ahn! Wait, Alexander-kun!

Alexander's voice: Sorry, Cassandra. But that is inevitable!

Asuka: Alexander and Cassandra? What are they…?

Asuka heards little moans from Cassandra in the room. She blushed.

Cassandra: Wait! Ahn! That tickles!

Alexander: You can't regret. You offered yourself to me, remember?.

Cassandra: Yeah, but… oh! Ahn!

Asuka blushed while imagining a naked scene of Alexander and Cassandra while hearing their chat.

Alexander: That's so nice, Cassandra.

Cassandra: But it's my first time, I'm glad it was with you.

Alexander: Don't worry, I'll be gentler.

Cassandra: Yeah but.

Alexander: Here I go again.

Cassandra: Ahn! Not so hard!

At that moment Asuka opened the door very funny frustrated.

Asuka: (In her state) Alexander, what are you doing? Aren't you a formal knight?

But then Asuka realized they were sat on chairs in their school uniforms.

Alexander: Asuka! I didn't want you to discover us.

Cassandra: What's going on with you?

Asuka: And you two?

She saw Alexander had his hand on one of Cassandra's twintails. It seems he was playing it with his fingers.

Alexander: Well, I (Suddenly he played with her twintail again)

Cassandra: (A little blushed) Ah! That excited me!

Asuka: Why?

Cassandra: I'm so sensitive in my hair.

Alexander: I'm sorry.

Asuka: No! I meant why are you stroking her hair?

Cassandra: That's because… (Smiling) Alexander-kun likes playing a girl's twintails.

Alexander: Well, it feels little interesting.

Cassandra: In our time, he revealed to one of this team he likes twintails. So I decided to use a hair style like that. But when I did, he already made team with Helena. (Some flashbacks about what she said)

Asuka. You liked twintails?

Alexander: Well, I'm a knight but sometimes I liked to do something different in my time.

Cassandra: Anyway, I guess we took too much time. Physical education is going to start you'd better to go to change your clothes. And because someone saw us.

Asuka: What did you mean with that?

Cassandra: You will try to blackmail us.

Asuka: I won't!

Alexander: Cassandra is right. I'd better to change in boys room. See ya.

Alexander retreated, leaving Asuka and Cassandra.

Asuka: What are you planning? Trying to seduce Alexander?

Cassandra: What's the matter? Are you jealous?

Asuka: (Little blushed) No way!

Cassandra: Ha! Whatever, we should go to the girls room to change our clothes. (Leaving)

Asuka: Idiot!

Later, in physical education. The girls were running at marathon field. The boys were cheering at them, but mostly at Asuka. Alexander was with them.

School boy 1: Wow! Asuka-chan's body moving while running!

School boy 2: I'm glad to be here in this school!

Alexander was focusing in Asuka. He noticed while she was running her breasts were bouncing. He blushed a little and trying to ignoring that.

Teacher: Alright! Everyone make teams for tennis practice.

School boy 3: Asuka-chan, be my partner!

School boy 4: No! Mine!

Asuka: Sorry, sensei I can't play, I'm exhausted for the running.

Teacher: Okay, take a rest, Hisakawa-san.

School boys: (Funny crying) No way!

School boy 1, 2, 3 and 4: In that case, Cassandra-san…

Cassandra: Alexander-kun, let's play together.

Alexander: Eh? Well, okay.

School boy 1: (Funny angry like the rest) That blonde foreigner bastard!

During the practice, Cassandra was playing well, but Alexander seemed exaggerating in hitting the ball, with much strength making the balls like projectiles.

Cassandra: Alexander-kun, why are you hitting like this? We are not in battlefield.

Alexander: Really? Hitting balls like in that sport called baseball, isn't the same?

Cassandra: Geez! Come here and take your racket.

Alexander: Okay.

He was holding the racket, suddenly Cassandra was behind him and get closer to him. He was little surprised.

Alexander: Wait, Cassandra. What are you…?

Cassandra: Take it easy. Just let me teach you. Relax.

She was holding him from his back. Taking his hands with hers and teaching the right way to use the racket.

Cassandra: See? Just use it in this movement, little more slowly. (Her breasts were pressing his back, making him blushed) in this way.

Alexander was embarrassed to feel her on his body. He realized the male students were funny anger to see him with Cassandra.

Nao: It looks like Alexander is having a difficult moment.

But then she realized Asuka was funny anger to see them together.

After the physical education, the students were leaving. Alexander saw Asuka who was little upset. He went to her.

Alexander: Asuka, I need to talk to you.

Asuka: (Ignoring him) Hm! Why me? Aren't you with Cassandra?

Alexander: About before. If you are upset with me about it…

Asuka: Tsk! I'm leaving!

She was attempting to leave but then he put his hands on her shoulders.

Asuka: What?

Alexander: Asuka, please! (With serious look) If there's something bothering you, you can tell me. I promised you to protect you, no matter what!

He was looking to her face seriously, making her blushed a little.

Asuka: (In her state) Why are you saying? Are you trying to engage with me?

Other students were playing baseball, one launched and the other hit. The ball flew until hit Alexander's head from behind. The strike made his face fall to her breasts. Both of them blushed in that embarrassing moment.

Alexander: (Moving away) Asuka, that was an accident!

Asuka: (Blushed and anger) Why it has to be you! Idiot!

She kicked him on his head.

Asuka: Don't talk to me again! Ever! (Leaving)

Alexander: (Little injured) Asuka!

Later, Asuka was ready to leave with Nao, she still was angry about before.

Nao: Asuka, I think you exceeded with Alexander-san.

Asuka: That jerk! I wish I had never met him before.

Nao: Asuka, that's bad. He's not that kind of boy who acts like that.

Asuka: Whatever, let's go home.

Nao: I have to pick up some issues for homework from some classmates.

Asuka: Then, I leave first, I'll wait for you at the gate.

Asuka was walking outside the school. But then she heard a music.

Asuka: What is it?

It's heard a melody from a flute. She was looking different ways. She walked until she found out that Alexander was on a tree playing a flute.

Asuka: (Surprised) Wow, that melody is beautiful. Alexander, playing a flute?

Then, Alexander jumped down, Asuka hide from him.

Alexander: Well, I have to go to work.

He hide his flute and left.

Asuka: I didn't know he can play a melody like that.

Later, at the cafeteria, the employers were doing their activities. One of the waitresses saw Alexander funny depressed while cleaning some glasses.

Waitress 1: Alexander-san, are you okay?

Alexander: (Little sighing) I had a problem with someone in school.

Waitress 1: That's bad. But you can apologize if you talk.

Alexander: I tried but she didn't even want to hear me.

Waitress 1: Her? (Little worried) Is she your… girlfriend?

Alexander: No! She's someone important for me. And I want to do something to apologize to her.

Waitress 1: Well, for a girl, a present would be ideal. If I were your girlfriend that will make happy.

Alexander: A present? In my time, a present also makes happy some women. It could work, thanks!

Waitress 1: Eh, okay.

Then Alexander leaves. Other waitresses arrived.

Waitress 2: Alexander-kun seemed sad. What did he tell you?

Waitress 1: He wanted an advice about a present for his girlfriend.

Waitresses: (Funny surprised) Girlfriend?

Waitress 2: He wasn't single?

Waitress 3: Really?

Waitress 1: Sorry girls. We lost our chance.

Before leaving, Alexander was checking his stuff. Then Mr. Mitsuba, his boss of the cafeteria, comes to him.

Mr. Mitsuba: Alexander, are you leaving now?

Alexander: Mr. Mitsuba, sorry for now working well as usual.

Mr. Mitsuba: Don't worry, everyone has problems. Anyway, I have to show you something. (Then he shows him a motorbike).

Alexander: What kind a cart is that?

Mr: Mitsuba: Actually, it's a motorbike. I'm planning a delivery service of the cafeteria. We can win more profits with this new service, and I expected you could be one of the employers for this.

Alexander: I'll think about it.

Mr. Mitsuba: Okay, take your time.

Later, Alexander was looking some stores and trying to find a good present for Asuka but he seemed had difficulties.

Alexander: (Checking his money in his wallet) Let's see, I have this amount. Geez! The money of this time is more complicated. But I think I can buy something for Asuka. (Then he saw a digital store, he entered)

Meanwhile, outside of the city, another monster, seemed a four-legs animal, was heading to the town.

At next day at school, Alexander was thinking deeply. He was still thinking at his seat.

Cassandra: (Coming to him) Are you still injured by Asuka's kick?

Alexander: I don't want to remember that.

Cassandra: So now what are you planning to do?

Alexander: I… (He saw Asuka coming along with Nao) Sorry, I have to talk with her.

He approached to Asuka, she seemed still upset about yesterday.

Alexander: Asuka, please, listen to me!

Asuka: What?

Alexander: I want to keep our chat, by using this object of your time. (Showing a cellphone)

Asuka: (Little surprised) Alexander.

Nao: Wow! Alexander-san, you have a cellphone.

Alexander: Yeah, I remember what you told me in the trip.

Nao's voice: (Flashback) "If you had a cellphone, you can have chat with her in long distance, whenever and wherever"

Alexander: That's why I bought it. But the problem is I don't understand its function.

Nao: I see, then Asuka why don't you show him?

Asuka: Eh?

Alexander: Yeah, it would be great if you teach me!

Nao: Good move, Alexander-san, you want your reconciliation with Asuka.

Alexander: I have to know your location and to know you are okay without me near.

Asuka: (Little blushed) Eh? Wait!

Alexander: I want to know because if there's a problem I can call you so you can be ready in that moment.

The environment was funny frozen.

Alexander: In that way, I can call you so you can run away from the danger. It's my duty to keep anyone safe.

Asuka was trembling, as she was upset.

Alexander: Asuka?

Asuka: You only worry for your duties? You moron!

She gave him a strong kick to his head making him fell to the floor.

Later, Alexander was sobbing his cheek. Cassandra came to him.

Cassandra: So you failed to talk with Asuka?

Alexander: I wanted her to teach me about this cellphone.

Cassandra: In that case, let me.

After some hours, she checked his cellphone along with him and then she gave him back.

Cassandra: So now you understand?

Alexander: Wow, so this is how it works.

Cassandra: (Taking her own cellphone) I'll give you a call, so answer me.

She dial her cellphone and then he answers.

Cassandra: (On her cellphone) You can hear me?

Alexander: (Using his cellphone) Yeah.

Cassandra: That's my number. Call me anytime, okay?

Alexander: Okay.

He picked up his bag; she realized he brought something while put it in his bag, like a present.

Cassandra: Alexander, what do you have there?

Alexander: Sorry, but I have to go to work. Let's talk other time.

Later, Alexander was heading to the cafeteria. But before arriving he saw Asuka walking, she still seemed upset.

Alexander: Asuka.

Asuka: You again? What do you want now?

Alexander: I wanted to apologize about before.

Asuka: (Ignoring him) Hm! Why are you apologizing? You seemed getting along with Cassandra.

Alexander: (Little worried, but then he was serious) In fact, I wanted to ask your phone number, but before that, I want to give you something for my apologize.

Asuka: Something, for me?

Alexander was attempting to take something from his bag but suddenly he felt a presence.

In slow motion, Alexander was running to Asuka, who was surprised. He embraced her for pull her. At that moment both were moving to a side while a huge blade passed over them, nearly cutting Alexander's hair. Alexander saved Asuka at time.

In normal motion, they waked up to see what happened.

Asuka: What happened?

A four-legs creature was in front of them, but also there was a man holding a huge blade. They realized that monster was half man and four-legs. It was a centaur.

Asuka: What is that thing?

Alexander: The known monster by its half-human part and half-horse, by its skill to hunt. The mythology creature, centaur.

Asuka: Centaur? The greek creature?

The centaur lift its blade and attempted to attack them again. Alexander took Asuka's hand and run away.

Alexander: Let's get out of here!

They run and the centaur went after them. They keep running until they arrived to the cafeteria.

Alexander: Damn! That monster will find us, unless…

Asuka: Unless?

He saw the cafeteria's motorbike of yesterday.

Alexander: Asuka, let's ride that!

Asuka: Eh?

They got on the bike. He was examining to use it.

Asuka: Wait, do you know how to turn it on?

Alexander: I think so. I saw the manual from internet.

The centaur appeared and went after them.

Asuka: (Scared) Ah! It found us!

Alexander: Hold on, Asuka!

They rode the bike and run away while the centaur chased them again.

Alexander and Asuka keep running through the city. The centaur followed them by jumping over buildings. Some people were amazed to what is happening.

Asuka. We are taking too much attention here, we have to leave to the outside!

Alexander: I got it!

He accelerated the bike until they rode in a grass field.

Alexander: Wow! It's like riding a furious horse. Only grabbing these things like reins. (Using the handlebars)

Asuka: You learn fast.

They continuing riding at side of railroad. A train was passing; the passengers were looking them on the bike. But then the passengers were surprised to the centaur which was chasing them.

Asuka: It's reaching us!

Alexander: Don't worry, I have a plan.

He accelerated and they were nearly to a great cleft.

Asuka: (Scared) No, no, no, no, no!

Alexander: We can do it!

Asuka: We're going to fall!

They jumped over the cleft. The centaur also jumped. At that time Alexander grabbed Asuka and left the bike that fall. The centaur attacked them but it failed while falling on the ground. They arrived grass field.

Alexander was carrying Asuka while landed safely.

Alexander: That was close.

Asuka: A little more and we could have been cut in pieces.

Alexander realized something and looking different ways.

Asuka: What, Alexander?

Alexander: (Funny amazed) Ah! Oh no! (He saw the bike little damaged) The bike is damaged!

Asuka: You didn't expected that.

Then she realized she was still being carried by him, as if they were a married couple.

Asuka: (Blushed) What are you doing? Get me down now!

Asuka separated from Alexander very embarrassed. But then they saw the centaur stood up.

Alexander: (Grabbing his pendent) Let's continue in this unpopulated place.

He used his pendent summoning his Knight armor.

Alexander: Asuka, stay away from here.

The centaur screamed and run against Alexander. He used his sword to attack but the centaur used his huge blade. Alexander was pushing with his sword but it seems the centaur was stronger. Alexander was pushed and fell to the ground.

Asuka: Alexander!

Alexander: This is strange; when I fought against a centaur, it didn't show that kind of strength.

The centaur was attempting to attack him with its blade, but suddenly a fireball attack on its back. Alexander and Asuka realized that Cassandra had arrived in her sorceress costume.

Cassandra: (After using her attack) My, my. I arrived at time.

Alexander: Cassandra. How did you find us?

Cassandra: Geez! Alexander-kun, you're so meanie. I texted you minutes ago! Didn't you see my mails?

Alexander: Really? (Taking and checking his cellphone) Wow! I didn't heard the tunes because of persecution.

Cassandra: You've better learnt the GPS system. It's usefull.

Alexander: GPS system?

Asuka: Guys! That monster is still alive!

The centaur woke up and was furious. Alexander saw something on its back, like a little creature was grabbing on its back.

Asuka: What's that thing on its back?

Alexander: It could be… a demon parasite?

Asuka: Demon parasite?

Cassandra: Yeah, a horrible creature that it sticks on a living being and increase its power, mostly their rage.

Alexander: That explains its powerful strength.

Cassandra: If we eliminate that parasite, we could have a chance.

Alexander: Then, let's do it!

Cassandra: Yes!

Alexander and Cassandra run to attack again. The centaur attacked but they separated.

Cassandra: (Using her staff) Flame daggers!

Her attack hit on its back nearly killing the parasite. The centaur was screaming in pain dropping its blade.

Cassandra: Now, Alexander-kun!

Alexander: (Using his attack) Burning sword!

His attack reached the centaur burning it along with the parasite until become ashes.

Alexander: (Little tired) That was difficult.

Cassandra: (Happy and embracing) Alexander-kun! We fought together as a couple!

Alexander: (Blushed) Yeah, yeah. We were a great team.

Asuka: (Upset and separating them) Let him go, that's enough!

Alexander: But now there will be monsters with more strength like that.

Cassandra: That's so weird.

Alexander: What do you mean?

Cassandra: To use a demon parasite, it requires a lot of magic. It means a wizard should be in Demitri's group.

Alexander: No way! That means a lot of danger!

Cassandra: For that, you'll need my help to face it.

Alexander: Thanks, I'm counting on you.

Cassandra: (Little blushed) Yeah. I'll better to go home. I have some business about school reports. See ya! (She leaves)

Alexander walked and took the bike.

Alexander: My boss will be angry if he knows the bike is damaged. (Turning it on) Unless is working.

Asuka: Hey, Alexander.

Alexander: What? Asuka.

Asuka: (Little blushed) Can you take your cellphone, please?

Alexander: Eh?

He took his cellphone, then she took hers too. Then she sent him a mail and connecting with his.

Alexander: (Checking his cellphone) Asuka, that's…

Asuka: It's my number, I considered your advice about communicating in anytime.

Alexander: (Smiling) Yeah, I'll be in contact with you. (Asuka was smiling a little) Oh, that reminds me.

He took the present from his bag.

Alexander: Take it. (Giving her the present)

Asuka: What is it?

Alexander: It's a present as a form of apology. (Riding the bike) Let's go, I'll take you home.

Asuka: (Little confused) Eh, okay.

At night, Asuka was in her bedroom, then she checked the present. She opened and was amazed.

Asuka: What is it?

She found out it's a ring.

Asuka: It's beautiful.

Mrs Hisakawa: (Who was on her back) Oh, is it an engagement ring?

Asuka: (Blushed) Ah! It's not that, mom!

Mrs Hisakawa: Is from that Alexander kid? He really likes you.

Asuka: (Blushed) Mom!

Meanwhile at night, Mrs. Natsu was walking while was communicating with someone telepathically.

Demitri's voice: So you plan about infecting our monsters with that demon parasite, failed?

Natsu: It was just a test, next time I'll use more magic. That Knight won't have good luck. I'll make sure my old magic students have the same death like him. (It's revealed she's the same woman in Demitri's group)

Demitri's voice: You'd better be right.

At next day at school, Alexander was on a tree. Asuka came to him.

Asuka: Alexander. (Little blushed) Thanks for your present. (Showing the ring on her finger) So, why did you buy this ring to me?

Alexander: Yeah, I knew that fit on you.

Asuka: (In her state) I wanted to ask you something.

Alexander: Yeah?

Asuka: Can you play… that melody you played that day?

Alexander: Eh, why?

Asuka: I think it's beautiful, I didn't know you can play that instrument.

Alexander: (Taking his flute) I bought it during the school trip. (Flashback about him at the antiquate store, he saw that flute) I wanted it, because it resembles the instrument I used to play in my time.

Asuka: Then, can you play that melody for me?

Alexander: Sure.

They sat on the ground and he played that melody. Asuka was hearing and was smiling. Alexander continued playing. After a while she felt calmed, closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder. He realized that but it didn't bother him, he felt comfortable while closed his eyes.

At that moment a flashback about his past appeared. It's seen Alexander in his Knight armor playing the same melody, Helena in her sorceress costume was on his side too. She was calmed and smiling like Asuka. They were in a pretty garden from the past. The same scene like the present.
