Battle Race in the Fantasy World

EP.131 Why Are You All Like This? Calm Down

“Hurry up and do your thing.”

Kyle wasn’t stupid enough to question what that meant.

The problem was that he understood it too well. How could he not, when she had already started undressing, saying she’d be his?

She had taken off her uniform jacket and even unbuttoned her shirt. As a result, her snow-white cleavage was fully exposed.

If it slipped down just a bit more, her entire chest would be visible.

She had already thrown off her skirt, revealing her bare legs in all their breathtaking glory.

Her firm thighs and smooth calves were dazzlingly beautiful.

“Damn…”

Astonished, dumbfounded, and yet feeling incredibly good.

A curse slipped out involuntarily at this extremely honest and natural male reaction.

They say cursing in moments like this makes you look cheap, but there was no other way to express it.

‘This is really… unfair, isn’t it? Damn it…’

Every day, all they did was fight, spar, and stuff like that.

While she was clearly beautiful, her actions were far from pretty, causing him nothing but stress.

But now, seeing her in this state, all the stress from the past seemed to vanish completely.

“Am I not attractive?”

A question similar to what Elga had asked earlier about being pretty.

But the feeling was completely different. Elga had just asked casually.

In contrast, the princess was being blatant, even creating a seductive atmosphere.

“…Your Highness. Please, I’m begging you, your clothes…”

Gritting his teeth, he suppresses the male instinct trying to turn his eyes inside out.

If he really causes trouble here, it’ll be a big problem. Hold back. Hold back. You’re not a beast.

No matter how much the imperial family was accommodating Jonathan, pouncing on the princess was crossing the line.

If things really progressed that way, who knows what would happen.

Even if the princess seduced him first, that was a separate issue.

Even here, intercourse between a man and woman without a promise for the future is a transgression.

Moreover, a woman’s chastity is valued more highly than a man’s virginity.

Giving in to a moment of temptation could ruin the marriage prospects of an otherwise perfect princess.

He and the princess were nothing to each other. And he had no intention of changing that.

If he were to cause trouble in this situation, it was clear that everything would become twisted and complicated.

Poke poke-.

But the princess, Yurika, seemed eager to cause trouble right away.

“Am I not attractive?”

Yurika tilts her head as she pokes Kyle with her toes once again.

She’s not trying to seduce him. She’s just curious because Kyle’s reaction is different from what she expected.

But to Kyle, that innocent question was the most fatal temptation of all.

“Hmm…”

Yurika, who let out a sigh, slowly gets up from her seat.

And after briefly looking over herself, she says with an innocent face.

“Is it because I stopped halfway? Should I take it all off?”

She wasn’t just asking. She really looked like she was considering taking everything off.

In fact, after that question, Yurika was about to throw off her shirt and underwear too.

“Stop! Please stop, Your Highness! We can’t do this!”

Fortunately, he was able to grab Yurika’s hand before that.

It’s hard enough to endure now, but if he sees what comes next, he might really turn into a beast.

‘Absolutely not. Hold on. Hold on.’

The reason for worrying about Jonathan and the empire falling out. Because of his parents and hometown people?

No. It’s not that, it’s to prevent the empire from disappearing from the map.

It’s such a great place. And academy life is just starting to get fun!

If the Emperor becomes enraged at the loss of his precious youngest daughter’s chastity, it would mean immediate war…

“Let me tell you in advance, you don’t need to worry.”

“How can I not worry! Right now…”

“His Majesty likes you too.”

“…??”

Wait a minute. How does this work out?

The Emperor has already given implicit consent to our relationship?

Then there’s no need to worry about damaging the imperial family’s authority? Since it’s been allowed?

As that thought crosses his mind, the reason that was barely suppressing his male instincts is pushed aside.

His instincts shout, “We’ve got Dad’s permission, so why hold back? There’s no reason!”

Before he knows it, his hand is slowly reaching towards the princess’s chest.

‘Is… is this okay… maybe?’

She signed the consent form herself, and her guardian gave the okay too.

Honestly, wouldn’t rejecting her here make him the real jerk? Or unable to perform as a man.

If the climax in a romance novel is the love story, isn’t the epilogue what comes next?

It might be a bit strange to jump straight to the epilogue, but it’s not a problem at all, right?

As his instincts persuade him, his reason gradually nods and gives in.

His heart is pounding like crazy. Like a beast in heat…

Pop!-

The Jonathan will, which had been silent until now, raises its head.

‘…Oh. Wait a minute. In heat? Peak male hormone secretion? Wouldn’t exercising now be super beneficial?’

He pushes aside both his human reason and his male instincts.

What governs Kyle’s head and body is neither male instinct nor human reason.

“Your Highness.”

“Yes. Should I undress? What should I do? Just tell me.”

Kyle realized once again. Why his father called this a curse.

Why people from his hometown, even after escaping Jonathan, inevitably return!

“Want to fight?”

It’s a shame. Such a waste. At the peak of male hormone secretion.

He should be exercising to the brink of death, putting maximum strain on his body at this time.

Or engaging in a fiercely intense battle, he needs to do something!

“You want to fight?”

“Yes. I mean, let’s spar. Right now.”

Only the two of them were here. The atmosphere was perfectly set.

And yet, instead of a tumble in bed, he’s suggesting a sparring match.

If it were any other woman, she might have sighed or gotten annoyed.

“…Alright! Let’s fight!!”

Of course, Yurika was a woman who operated on an entirely different wavelength from those women.

“Oh my…”

Somewhere, it seemed like the Emperor’s regretful sigh could be heard.

*

The woman who suddenly appeared just now, it must have been her.

Elga blinked her eyes and quietly glanced at Tisha sitting across from her.

“Uh… uh, huh?”

Judging by her reaction, it seems my thoughts were correct.

The woman who snatched Kyle’s hand and disappeared somewhere was undoubtedly the princess.

‘Why does she keep showing up? And like some monster, appearing here and there in a flash!’

Somehow, she always appears whenever I try to do something with Kyle.

At this point, I’m starting to suspect she might be constantly monitoring Kyle from nearby.

Just now too. Though I was in a subtle confrontation with Tisha, it was a battle worth fighting.

Kyle’s flustered response to the question of whether I was pretty was a very good sign.

Isn’t it undeniable proof that he sees me as a woman?

If he had no feelings at all, he wouldn’t have shown any particular reaction.

Of course, with Tisha here too, we were inevitably keeping each other in check and competing.

But I wasn’t too worried. I was confident I could win.

I thought I didn’t need to be anxious since I had confirmed Kyle’s feelings.

Yes. That was until the princess suddenly appeared and took Kyle away.

‘I can handle Tisha somehow. But the princess… it’s impossible right now.’

Squeeze-.

Elga’s fist clenches tightly.

Surely the princess must have seen her talking with Kyle.

Yet she just took him away. As if saying, “Try to get him back if you can.”

It’s frustrating. So frustrating I could die. It’s frustrating, but there’s nothing I can do.

As a mere duke’s daughter, I’m not yet able to compete with the princess.

Especially not against a princess who holds the title of one of the Empire’s Top 10.

‘What about Tisha….’

Once again, she turns her head to where Tisha was.

Tisha, who had been looking dazed until just now, was lying on the bench, gripping the bar.

Watching her, Elga quietly stood up from her seat.

And as Tisha was about to start her bench press, Elga approached her head.

“He said there’s a risk of injury if you do it alone.”

She places her hands under the bar Tisha is holding, ready to support it in case of emergency.

Even though it’s just an empty bar without any weight plates, it’s still quite heavy.

If nothing else, for this bench press, it must always be done in pairs.

Now she could understand why Kyle had emphasized this point so much.

“…Thank you, Lady Elga.”

Tisha’s expression, as she said this, was just as unhappy as Elga’s.

At first, she thought it might be because of her, but soon she realized the real reason.

“That was Her Highness just now, wasn’t it?”

Tisha asks as she lifts the bar once.

As Elga nods, Tisha continues speaking while lowering the bar.

“I wonder why she came. Or rather, when did she come to the south?”

“I don’t know. We can’t know about imperial affairs, and we shouldn’t try to either.”

Even as one of only three duke’s daughters in the empire, what’s off-limits is off-limits.

Tisha, who had secretly hoped to gain some clue, sighed.

“But one thing seems certain.”

“What’s certain?”

“Tisha, you saw it too. How she took Kyle away. And what she said before.”

At Elga’s answer, Tisha puts the bar back and sits up.

She felt similar to Elga. Frustrated, and a bit annoyed too.

After bothering Kyle so much. Not even being considerate. And now acting so selfishly.

“Lady Elga. May I ask you one thing?”

“Yes. Go ahead.”

“Do you like Kyle?”

It wasn’t a roundabout question, but a direct one from Tisha.

As Elga hesitates for a moment, Tisha speaks again.

“I like Kyle. Not just because he’s a good person, but more than that.”

It sounded almost like a declaration of war to Elga.

Thanks to this, Elga, who was about to reflexively avoid answering, came to her senses.

“…Is that so? I see. Well, I like Kyle too.”

It was the princess who had snatched Kyle away, yet here were a duke’s daughter and a witch engaging in a battle of nerves.

And Yurika, the one who caused all this…

“Ahahahaha! Ahahahaha!!”

She was in the middle of an exciting fight with Kyle in a deserted place.
