Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Rite of Sinful Seduction [2]
"oooh~ Master! There is a fluffy cake in this shop window!"
Ikumi's excited voice sounded from behind Lancelot, her face almost pressed against the clear glass of a small pastry shop with a kind lady waving in the window.
Lancelot chose Sebastian to purchase most items needed for the next few weeks.
The basic supplies of the first day were not quite enough, and he needed more, according to Morgana's list, which meant his silver supplies were almost decimated completely.
'Luckily, I could trade some Avalon coins for currency...'
He transferred 18 coins for 180 silver.
The ration was horrible to avoid needless inflation due to Lord, that didn't care too much about Avalon and just wanted to live a good life as a Noble.
This was because Lords only needed to participate in one battle yearly to keep their noble title, no matter how high the rank.
Sadly this bred a very lazy and passive group of Lords who would only be useless in the future turmoil.
He gave a soft smile to Ikumi, handing her a small bag with 10 silver coins, enough to buy quite a few pastries, but his chest felt strange, lacking a sense of passion or worry...
A sense of numbness to the future, unsure if it was some side-effect to his Dominus or awakening the demon blood that was imbued in him when performing the Hymnal to Morgana.
It wasn't odd for the Lord to receive a blessing or second race if their troops were strong enough; some could even gain a dragon's bloodline.
'Like Lady Guinevere.' Lancelot thought, watching the excited Hare rushing into the store but then looking for trouble on what to buy, her face turning to him with a huge smile and opening her mouth and saying something he couldn't understand.
'She's like a breath of fresh winter air.'
He saw Ikumi move close to the woman before whispering something.
The lady whispered something back a moment later, causing the Frost Hare's ears to flop around and her face to turn bright red.
Pah!-Pah-Pah!
Not to mention even Lancelot could hear the pounding of her feet that the Frost Hares seemed to love doing when shy, embarrassed or shocked.
"Let's hope she enjoys the taste... I wonder if Sumika is here yet?"
He looked down at his phone before taking a seat at the public benches, a small picnic ready to be opened in front of him containing ham sandwiches, strange eastern rice, and fish rolls that cost quite a bit to have made.
Then a few drinks and, of course, some snacks for Ikumi.
While checking, he noticed that many messages came about 5 minutes ago from Sumika's number.

"Yo~ Lancelot fufu! I have just finished training with my strict grandpa!
He said I could not drink alcohol with foreign men, or they would eat me! (Scared Emoji)
Yet~ it's okay if you want to eat me! After you fight me with your swords!
Sumika is 10 minutes away and coming by car!

Today the city was quite busy, considering that most students were off for their last break for another 4 days.
He supposed they were getting the last freedom before life became a simple mixture.
Study.
Avalon.
Study.
Avalon.
Sadly it wasn't until Lancelot's second year that they changed this and added more freedom to the Lord due to many leaving the academy to change sides and find other life methods.
'After all, once the poor students realise how much they can get for an Apocalypse coin in the real world, why would they work so hard for 100 Silver a year?'
'Not only that, but they still got to keep their noble status as long as they came to the Empire's aid when needed. It was nothing to do with the academy...'
"Yahoo!"
A sudden lively voice sounded before the tapping of feet rushed towards him; almost simultaneously, the soft thumping of Ikumi's feet also began tapping the cobbled floor before the two girls clashed.
"Ah! A strange woman tried to sneak up on Master!"
"Oho! A cute rabbit-like creature is carrying a bag of muffins!"
"Hmph! Ikumi is a Pretty Albino Frost Hare! My Master said so!"
"Waaaa! She's so cute! Lancelot, is this your summoned commander..."
"No, you had that sexy woman that was almost naked!"
[Who was almost naked! I covered everything for anyone but Master! Stupid Monkey Girl!"]
Sumika began to move around the body of Ikumi with sparkling eyes.
It was nothing strange or sexual, but this girl loved soft toys and furry animals due to begin brought up in a household of 12 males and 2 females. It was a very tough house to grow up in as a girl.
"Morning Sumika, you're very energetic from so early." Lancelot greeted her with a smile before tapping the seat beside him.
The cute kunoichi hopped towards him, but the moment her ass was about to touch the wooden seat beside Lancelot, two white furry feet dropkicked her into the distance, her agile body rolling and twisting in the air so she landed safely.
"Oh!"
Clap-Clap-Clap!
Lancelot applauded while she looked proud, only looking at Ikumi with a sour look as the rabbit placed her cakes side-by-side and pushed one with two black chocolate pieces that were narrow like swords and a white cream icing towards Lancelot her little eyes darting between them as her face beamed.
{Hehe~ Master will never know I picked it because it's like him! Fufu, the most handsome cake! I wanted to taste it, but Master suits it best!}
"..."
'What am I going to do... This girl is so adorable...'
"Toh!" Sumika hopped onto the opposite side, began digging into the ham sandwiches, and looked happy.
'I'm glad I told her not to eat too much after training.'
"So...*nom**nom* you wanted... *nom* to train at my dojo sometimes? Mmmn...so good!"
"Ah, they are from the shop just behind you; come before noon to get the best ham and bread."
"They also deliver, but it's hard to get the fresh feel of the bread due to the travel times."
"Nnnn..."
"And training with you would be fun, no?" He added, taking a bite from the cake handed him by Ikumi; her little ears became floppy with a slight sadness when he bit into it, but still, she smiled.
Lancelot couldn't deny her—somehow, she was like a cute sister he wanted to spoil, although her evening actions were different from normal.
He could forget they were man and woman and what Morgana planned to have her help with...
'It's a shame Marimo cannot come here...' Lancelot thought before pushing the second half of the sweet chocolate cake she bought him—the white cream was sweet but freshly made, so there was no aftertaste, and the chocolate was extremely moreish.
"Ah... there's the cream on your lips, silly hare..." Lancelot brushed the cream from the side of Ikumi's mouth as she blushed, still licking her mouth from the delicious cake and happy he shared it with her.
"..." Sumika watched the two flirting and began feeling slightly jealous—she kicked them both in the shin.
Only for her little toes to feel pain from both legs, one wearing steel armour hidden underneath the other a Frost Hare with legs like titanium plating.
"Ahh.. my toe... damn rabbit... stupid handsome foreigner!" Sumika complained in her mother tongue to avoid them noticing.
{Master gave me the cake~ it tasted nice, but I think I tasted Master's lips too! Hehe~ stupid old woman, I got Master's love!}
[I will make you into rabbit stew!]
{Fufu~ Ikumi is a Hare idiot~~~~!}
[Wait until I get you!]
{Ikumi cannot wait!}
Sumika was a little sullen for a short time.
Still, as soon as the various sashimi and rice rolls were revealed, she stopped caring and began to munch them, fighting a secret battle under the table with Ikumi for the ones with bari-fish, a very tender white fish native to the Empire.
"Mmmmm~ what's in it for me if I let you train with my dojo?" Sumika asked, chewing on her food while looking at him with her playful almond eyes.
Ikumi vanished earlier to buy something with her shiny coins, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
"The chance to fight me whenever I am there and trade blows without limits."
Lancelot said with a sly smile, his chopsticks stealing the Bari-fish from Sumika that was half eaten and swallowed whole.
"Mmmm, very tender and sweet, or was that your saliva? Haha~"
"!!!"
Until Ikumi returned, the table became a negotiation battlefield as the pair began to fight for food.
Sadly, in speed, technique and power, Sumika lost overwhelmingly and thus had to rely on economic aid from the Empire of Lancelot.
After beating her several times, he started to get full, so he would feed the ones he stole from her with his chopsticks.
The cute Eastern girl is getting more and more flustered with each loss.
"Let's train... in two days... Grandpa will be mad at me for bringing a boy... you might get beaten up..."
"Still, come?" She asked with a slightly quiet voice looking at his eyes while Ikumi narrowed hers and began to tap the table with her delicate fingers.
"Ah, let's meet her at 4 am in two days. Okay?"
"Mmm! I'll pick you up In my mom's car!"
'Great... Now I can have the best training possible from the future swordmaster of the Empire and the former swordmaster...'
{Master is so handsome when he looks evil! Kyaaa~ Ikumi won't sleep tonight!}
[STAY OUT OF HIS BED, YOU LEWD LITTLE RAT!]
{Fufufu~ how many times does Ikumi say~ she is no rabbit, she is no rat! She is a Hare~ Master's Hare!}
