69. School Violence Ends!

69. School Violence Ends!

As we burst into the training grounds, the eyes of all the spectators turned towards us. Golden Sun also looked at us.

“Skadi?”

“Yeah.”

After a light wave, we walked step by step onto the training grounds. On the opposite side of Golden Sun, I saw the black-haired wolf beastman lying face down on the ground, unconscious. I grabbed her by the neck.

Let’s see the face of the culprit who made me suffer in this heat.

Black hair, black eyes, a face resembling mine. But innocent, cute, and small….

“… Freya?”

The last time I saw Freya was before I left the North for the Academy. If the one in my hands is Freya, then what is Freya at home?

Freya is in the North, and Freya is also at the Academy. This is a contradiction. A situation that confuses my mind, like a problem from a math workbook.

“Hmm.”

After a moment of thought, I came to a conclusion.

“This isn’t Freya.”

If Freya is at home and Freya is also at the Academy, then there are two possibilities. Either Freya has become two people, or the one in front of me is someone who resembles Freya.

Even with my limited common sense, I knew Freya couldn’t possibly be in two places at once. Therefore, by elimination, there was only one answer left.

“Priscilla, I caught the culprit.”

“That’s great!”

What a misconception. If Freya were here, she would surely be furious, asking if I mistook her for someone else.

Perhaps she would have calmed down only after receiving a long kiss. Maybe I should have let her touch my chest too.

Priscilla, who received the culprit I handed over, muttered with delight, especially looking at the tail.

“It’s been my dream since I was little to put criminals in Tartarus! Now I’m finally fulfilling that dream!”

“Congratulations.”

Tartarus was the name of a massive prison in the Louer territory. It was strange that her childhood dream was to put criminals there.

“Iris, that’s the culprit, right?”

“Yes, I think so.”

Just in case, I stroked Iris’s head, which was in my arms, and asked. The soft hair of the young child flowed through my fingers.

Having received Iris’s confirmation, I turned my back on Priscilla and approached Golden Sun. I could hear Priscilla muttering from behind.

-Hehe… Can I touch the tail before putting her in jail?

Golden Sun stood awkwardly, her steel sword resting on her shoulder. She seemed quite flustered by the sudden turn of events. As I approached, she looked at me.

Her rebellious hairstyle obscured her eyes, her swaggering posture, and her tanned skin. She was the epitome of Golden Sun.

“Hello?”

“Yo.”

“What happened that you were fighting with her?”

Golden Sun shrugged and slowly explained the whole story.

“I finished my paperwork and went out to play, and suddenly she came up to me and challenged me to a duel. The condition was that if I lost, I wouldn’t approach you anymore.”

“Me?”

“Yes, you.”

“… A condition not to approach me? Why?”

Is there any reason why someone resembling Freya would tell Golden Sun not to approach me? It was a question that was difficult to answer.

Meanwhile, Golden Sun continued.

“But, well, since the opponent was disqualified, I won, right? Don’t you think so?”

“… Usually, wouldn’t the match be invalidated?”

“The rules for these duels are a bit different. I’m a non-combatant, and the opponent is a combatant. Even if the opponent fainted from a dragon’s breath falling from the sky, it’s still my victory for surviving.”

“Hmm.”

It sounded plausible. Since duels between nobles were fought for honor, there might be rules to balance the skill difference between the two parties.

Golden Sun raised her hand high towards the other spectators behind her and shouted.

“Hey everyone!! I won!!”

Then, a loud cheer followed. The sound of “Waaah-!” filled the training grounds. I didn’t know who this wolf beastman resembling Freya was, but she seemed to have offended many students at the Academy.

“So then, the loser must faithfully fulfill the conditions, right?”

“Conditions?”

“Of course, it’s not like only one side made conditions for the bet. Would it be fair if only one party had conditions?”

Golden Sun looked at the still unconscious beastman. I could see Priscilla burying her face in the tail and sniffing it.

-The smell is really similar!

The muffled voice came from within the black tail.

Golden Sun, who had paused for a moment, spoke.

“… Well, it would be difficult right now. When she wakes up, we’ll make her fulfill it then. After all, everyone here is a witness, so she can’t run away.”

“Hmm.”

“Besides, if she runs away, you’ll catch her, won’t you, Skadi?”

I tilted my head and looked at Golden Sun.

“Me?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

If she’s a wolf beastman from the North, she might catch her if asked, but why specifically me? I looked at Golden Sun with a puzzled expression.

Golden Sun uttered a rather shocking statement.

“Why? She’s your sister.”

“…… What?”

“Freya von Lyra, isn’t she your sister? That’s what she said.”

I looked at the culprit again. A face resembling mine, black hair, and a fluffy tail. But this alone couldn’t identify this beastman as my sister. There are many black wolf beastmen.

“Wait a moment, Priscilla, move aside.”

“Yes?”

Priscilla struggled to hold onto my tail as I pulled it away with force. But there was something I had to confirm, so I couldn’t let go.

“If this is really Freya….”

If, by any chance, the one in front of me was the real Freya, there would be something that could definitively prove she was Freya.

Perhaps something that not many people knew, except me, Freya’s….

“Mole.”

“Yes?”

“Freya has a mole under her tail.”

No matter how much she resembled me, the mole’s position wouldn’t be the same. So, by seeing Freya’s mole, I could confirm if this child was Freya.

I immediately took off the skirt of this beastman child. Then, I pulled her tail out of the hole in her clothes, took off her underskirt, and gently pulled her panties down-

“Oh.”

Plump and white buttocks, and a clearly visible mole.

This child was indeed Freya.

“… Wait a minute. Then, did Freya do this to Iris, knock out children, and cause trouble?”

That couldn’t be right. The Freya I remembered was a good and kind child who relied on and depended on her older sister, only a little jealous.

Besides, Freya hadn’t even come to the Academy. But the child in front of me was definitely Freya….

I felt like I was experiencing cognitive dissonance. I shook my increasingly tangled thoughts and looked at Freya again.

“….”

Yes, that’s what it was.

After a moment of thought, I realized. The reason Freya suddenly caused trouble at the Academy, the reason she bothered children and ran wild!

Freya was going through puberty!

Yes, it’s possible to go through puberty at 19. Perhaps she ran away from home because of puberty. It was clear that was the case.

Freya’s deviation like this was a natural behavior. I saw on TV in my past life that suppressing puberty excessively had the opposite effect, so all I had to do was watch Freya so she wouldn’t go too far astray.

“Golden… No, Sorina. Can I take Freya with me for a while? I’ll make her fulfill that condition or whatever when she wakes up later.”

“It’s fine. As long as she doesn’t run away.”

“Okay.”

I picked up Priscilla, who was pouting with her tail taken away.

“Priscilla, let’s go. We’ll put Freya in the room first.”

“Yes? Why? Then what about Tartarus?”

“I think Freya is going through puberty. I believe a little guidance from my side will fix this.”

I dragged Priscilla along.

“Come on, let’s go.”

“No…! My achievement…!”

——

Freya sleeping soundly on the bed.

I sat on the opposite bed and fanned myself to cool down from the heat. Iris sat on a desk chair, and Priscilla was near my tail.

My human air conditioner, Claire, hadn’t arrived yet.

I waited for Freya to wake up for over ten minutes. However, Freya showed no signs of waking up. I was melting from the heat.

“Is that the sister you mentioned last time? No wonder the smell was similar!”

“….”

“Wow… Then I have three tails now! I’m so happy! Good deeds really bring good luck….”

“… Ah.”

“Skadi?”

Finally, I realized. The reason I was so hot.

I turned to Priscilla with my face flushed from the heat and said.

“Priscilla.”

“Yes?”

“Do you know that beastmen go into heat periodically?”

“Yes…?”

Beastmen don’t menstruate. Instead, they periodically go into heat. And according to my sister, to resolve this heat period-

Thump, Priscilla falls onto the bed. I climb on top of her.

“J-just a moment, Skadi?”

“It’ll be quick.”

It’s simple. I just need to repeat what Freya has done for me. Although this time, I’ll have to be the one to initiate it.

“S-Skadi, Iris is watching-“

I kissed Priscilla.
