"Sooooo cute! Here Phi-chan, a special handmade fluffy cake for you, mix with strawberries plus hot milk chocolate!" Kosei let go of her cheeks while handing her a delicious cake to make her forget why she came here for.
"Nom..num..num..gulp...!!" Phi-chan instantly snatched the cake, afraid that someone would steal her tasty treat, and started to gulp it down while showing her another cute side, making Kosei yet again want to cuddle with her and pinch her cheeks.
"By the way, what happened with your friend over there? why she is in a sulky mood?" Kosei looked at the girl who stood not far from them as he was very familiar with her so seeing her like that he asked with slight worry in his tone.
She was one of the strongest Drag-Knight and a self-proclaimed rival for Lisha-chan.
"Hmmm! Domt..num..nnom know!" Philuffy tilted her head and replied while eating making her words mixed up.
"Fine...fine, stop talking and eat properly!" Kosei stopped asking her and wiped her cheeks of cake with his handkerchief.
"Yo, why is your face showing a sulky expression, Celi-chan!" Kosei went over and greeted her cooly with teasing words.
"Instructor Ko! Please, I am not in the mood today!" Celistia Ralgris looked at him with a plain expression, not falling for his teasing words.
Celistia is a beautiful young woman with long flowing blonde hair that is held by a black headband. She has blue eyes and a buxom figure. She usually wears the Royal Officer Academy uniform and blue tie which is usually for third years.
"By any chance, did you fight with your father again!" Kosei asked guessing why she might be having a bad mood.
"He just can't understand me, always with his strict attitude. Does he think it will do me any good, for him to act like this?" Celistia Ralgris blurted out with a fuming expression reminded of what happened today.
"Common, Celi-chan! Don't you know your father well so give him a break and he will slowly come around!" Kosei tried to advise the girl to leave her father be and she knows herself that he doesn't mean most of his words, he says something else and thinks inside him something else.
Dist Ralgris is one of the Four Great Nobles of the New Kingdom Atismata, and the father of Celistia Ralgris.
Just like Celistia Ralgris was a socially awkward person before meeting Kosei and becoming rivals with Lisha-chan. Her father also has the same personality so he came out strict with his daughter's upbringing. He is even more absurd if not told in clear words then he might misunderstand you. Just like when he misunderstood his daughter's attitude toward men.
If not for Kosei visiting her home on certain occasions then he might have still thought that his daughter hates men.
"Let's leave this matter aside and tell me what happened with the rebels. Is Lisha-san alright?" Celistia shook her head and changed the topic while showing worry on her face when she asked about Lisha-chan well being.
"She is fine and rebels matter has already been settled so forget about that matter and let's go on a date!" Kosei eased her worry and suddenly proposed to her to go on a date.
"Wha...what...what...!!" Celistia Ralgris became red from embarrassment and stuttered covering her face with both hands in bashfulness. She didn't see his grinning expression otherwise, she would have understood that he was just teasing her.
"Moa! Me...me!" Philuffy came between them with a pouty expression and pointed herself towards Kosei while the cake was nowhere to be seen except for a little evidence on her lips.
"Okay...okay! You can also tag along and Celi-chan, what kind of dirty thoughts are you having in your mind as I was just asking for you to accompany me in a cup of coffee drink!" Kosei looked at the airhead and patted her head with a soft smile while he said to Celistia Ralgris with a teasing grin making her even more embarrassed.
"You...you, humph!" Celistia pointed her shivering finger at him but was unable to find any retort to his teasing so she just humphs at him and turned to face another side.
"Hey, Instructor Ko'! So you were here and I was looking for you all over the academy!" A slender girl shouted from afar and came with fast steps towards them while breathing heavily like she just ran a marathon.
"Ohh! Hey, Kru-chan!" Kosei greeted her with a smile while both Philuffy and Celistia look at her with clear hostility in their eyes for interrupting their sweet time with the Kosei.
Krulcifer Einfolk has waist-length blue hair that is decorated with a black ribbon, blue eyes of cold light, and a slender figure and she is like a perfect work of art, showing neither strain nor slack and with a mature air around her.
She was also one of the girls, Kose got acquainted with.
She is a transfer student from the Ymir Theocracy, a powerful nation from the north.
Kosei got to know that she practically ran away from her home because of forced marriage. With how nobody stopped her from doing so, Kosei already guessed that her family might have helped her from the dark as they might want to protect her from the political marriage.
She transfer here just last year and at first, she came out cold with everyone but slowly Kosei was able to melt that thick ice out of her. As she was also a Divine Drag Knight so he taught her for some time which led them to become close like best friends.
"By the way, what were you two doing here with Instructor Ko?" Krulcifer Einfolk gave a stink eye to the two of them and asked with a subtle aggressive manner.
"Fufufufu! Why do you care Ms. Krulcifer Einfolk!" Celistia Ralgris laughed covering her mouth with her hand and replying in an equally condescending tone.
"Hmmm!" Philuffy just tilted her head, not understanding her meaning.
"Now...now, girls! Don't start fighting!" Kosei gave them a wry smile and calm them down before they start to argue with each other.
"Humph!" Celistia Ralgris just humph in response and Krulcifer Einfolk just sighed looking at this and turned to Kosei.
"Let's just leave these two boring girls aside and come with me for a date!" Krulcifer Einfolk said with a big smile while hugging his one arm into her bosoms.
"Huh!" Both Celistia Ralgris and Philuffy Aingram were surprised by her bold words and action.
"But I was the first one here!" Then both Philuffy and Celistia exclaimed in unison.
"What!" Krulcifer looked at them feeling a little weird sense of humor in their sync.
'What should I do? I think I caught unprepared today!' Kosei had this thought running through his mind about what to do at this moment and who to take on a date first without offending the other two girls.
