Chapter 44
Stella heard that Tsukasa had come back, but she only glanced at him as she continued to watch television.
“You’re not training, Stella?” Tsukasa asked curiously.
“I’m not in the in the mood,” Stella said flatly.
How could Stella be in the mood to train?
While Stella knew that Tsukasa had dated Touka, she thought she still had a chance since she was living with him, but she saw him kissing Touka and invited her on a date!
With Stella’s personality, it was already impressive that she didn’t explode in the student council room before.
“Then should we eat something? I’m sure you’re hungry,” Tsukasa said as he sat on the edge of the sofa while glancing at Stella’s bottoms that were shown slightly through her short skirt.
Stella was sleeping on the sofa with her legs raised slightly, showing off her red-colored panties.
Tsukasa wasn’t sure if Stella didn’t realize this or if she did this deliberately, but it was a good thing for him.
Girls had always been sensitive to men’s gaze, so of course, Stella noticed his gaze on her skirt, which made her snort shyly, but with this, she could confirm that there was still a chance for her.
“I’m not in the mood,” Stella said flatly, but then she saw him, put his hand on her forehead, which made her surprised and flustered. “Wh-What are you doing?!”
“No, I thought that you would feel sick since you don’t feel hungry,” Tsukasa said with surprise.
“How rude! Do you think that I am always hungry?!” Stella swept Tsukas’s hand away, puffed her cheeks, and showed that she was angry.
“You’re not?” Tsukasa asked.
“…no, I’m.” Stella touched her stomach and felt that she was so hungry right now since she hadn’t eaten lunch after she saw Tsukasa kissing Touka before.
“Should I make you dinner?” Tsukasa asked.
“Can you?” Stella asked in doubt.
“I have been training many things to become stronger, and cooking was one of them.”
While cooking might not seem related to fighting, that wasn’t the truth.
Choosing the ingredients could train his observation.
Killing animals was able to train his way resolved.
There were many things that could be learned from cooking, so Tsukasa learned it.
“Wait there, I’ll cook something shortly,” Tsukasa said and went to the kitchen.
Stella looked at Tsukasa’s figure that took an apron and started to cook in the kitchen. She looked at him curiously, and somehow, it might be her imagination, but she could imagine their future when they might marry each other.
Unfortunately, it was only on her imagination, not on reality.

Tsukasa looked at Stella, who couldn’t stop moving her hands, and ate one dish after the dishes.
“Do you need more rice?” Tsukasa asked.
“Yes!” Stella gave her a bowl to Tsukasa and asked him to give her more rice. It was her first time tasting his food, and she was conquered instantly. Then, she thought for a moment and asked, “Tsukasa, can you use your power on your foods?”
“I can.” Tsukasa nodded, but then he said, “But I don’t use my power since my magic is limited.”
*Gulp!*
Stella couldn’t help but gulp her saliva and ask, “What if you use your power?”
“…Do you want to try?” Tsukasa asked.
“Yes.” Stella nodded with a determined expression.
Tsukasa looked at Stella for a moment and used his power on the bowl of rice that he was about to give to Stella. He only increased the efficiency of the bowl of rice tenfold, but after he used his power, the rice turned in shiny white color, giving a golden gleam to anyone who saw it. “Here.”
Stella looked at the bowl of rice that gave a delicious aroma that she had never smelled before. She gulped and took the bowl of rice before gently eating them and felt her entire sense of taste explode.
Tsukasa looked at Stella, who buried her face on the bowl and didn’t feel surprised since his ability was really that amazing. After all, he could increase the efficiency of anything as much as he wanted with enough magic.
‘Unfortunately…’
Tsukasa shook his head and thought positively since with his power, even if he just threw a stone at his opponent, he could defeat them instantly.
Tsukasa could become David, who could defeat Goliath with his stone.
“So you feel better now?”
Hearing Tsukasa’s question, Stella’s mood became strange again, but then she asked, “Um, Tsukasa.”
“Hmm?”
“Does kissing feel nice?” Stella asked.
“…Why would you ask such a question?” Tsukasa asked weirdly.
“It-It’s alright, right? Ju-Just hurry unswer me!” Stella’s face was as crimson as her hair, asking him that question.
“Instead of simply asking how it feels, how about you taste it yourself,” Tsukasa said in a perfunctory manner, thinking that this nympho princess was thinking something weird again.
“Tas-Taste it?” Smoke emitted from her head. “Pervert!”
“…You’re the one who asks, so I just answer naturally. Also, why did you say that I’m a pervert?” Tsukasa said speechlessly.
“Be-Because you told me to kiss…” Stella murmured in a blush.
“…I never told you to kiss me. You can kiss your boyfriend in the future,” Tsukasa said and wondered how this girl could come to such a conclusion.
Stella’s expression darkened, and she said depressingly, “I don’t have a boyfriend…” The boy she was attracted to had a girlfriend, and she didn’t have any interest in the other boys in this school other than Tsukasa, so how could she have a boyfriend?
Tsukasa looked at Stella for a moment and asked, “Do you want to train?”
“Train?” Stella was confused.
“I mean, a kiss. Do you want to train a kiss?” Tsukasa said.
“Training?!” Stella was dumbfounded and asked subconsciously, “Wi-With who?”
“Well, with who do you want to train with?” Tsukasa asked curiously.
Stella didn’t say anything and kept glancing at Tsukasa from time to time.
“…Me?” Tsukasa said unsurely.
“….” Stella lowered her head shyly.
“…I don’t really mind, but do you think that is alright?” Tsukasa asked after a moment of hesitation.
“Yo-You don’t mind?” Stella didn’t care whether it was alright or not since she just wanted to kiss him.
“I mean… we’re just training, right? We’re not doing the real thing.” Tsukasa looked at Stella innocently, but then he hesitated and said, “But…”
Stella, who was attracted to this “training offer,” suddenly felt her heart beating so fast until she heard the “but” from Tsukasa. “…But?”
“I’m sure that whether it is Touka-nee or the people in your empire won’t be happy to hear that we’re doing something like this, right?” Tsukasa said hesitantly, showing that he was afraid that he might do something wrong.
Stella also started to think about this problem, so she thought for a moment and made up her decision.
“Then… what… what if we don’t tell anyone?”
“We don’t tell anyone?” Tsukasa looked at Stella in surprise.
Stella gulped and knew that it was wrong, but since she had said it, then there was no need to hesitate. “I-I mean, we don’t need to anyone that we’re doing training. We can just do this training without anyone knowing.”
“I see…” Tsukasa nodded thoughtfully, then asked, “But is that okay for you?”
“I…” Stella looked at Tsukasa for a moment, then nodded shyly. “…Okay.”
Tsukasa looked at Stella for a moment and wondered whether this girl was serious.
The two of them sat next to each other on the sofa while awkwardly looking at each other.
“Then… should we do it now?”
“Now?!” Stella raised her voice and blushed since she didn’t expect their training to start so soon.
“If you don’t want to, we don’t need to do it now,” Tsukasa said calmly.
“Bu-But… isn’t it a bit too early?” After all, they had just met each other a few days ago, but now, they had kissed each other?
‘No, it’s training!’
Stella wasn’t sure what kind of training it was, but she just wanted to leap to him and kiss his lips!
As for the rest, Stella didn’t care!
“Ok-Okay! Le-Let’s do it!” Stella changed her mind and decided to start their training right away. She closed her eyes and said, “Ju-Just do it!” She pursed her lips, waiting for their training to start.
‘Is this okay?’
Tsukasa wondered whether this was really alright since he had just played around and teased her before, but this girl took him seriously. He wondered whether it was too late to say that he was joking, but…
“Tsukasa…” Stella called his name meekly.
At that time, something was broken in Tsukasa’s mind, and he didn’t hesitate to take Stella’s lips.
After they tasted their first kiss, no, they started their first training session.
They kept training until their proficiency became better.
