A Swordsman and a Mage, Sworn Enemies, Accidentally Crossed a Line and Discovered Their Bodies Were Perfectly Compatible. - Chapter 6

After pushing ourselves to the limit with s3x, we collapsed into a deep sleep, waking only as the sun began to rise.
We scrambled out of bed in a panic, and Remietta rushed me back to the boys’ dormitory.
I’d feared the worst, but we managed to return to my room undetected.
Though Remietta kicked me for my recklessness, I have no regrets about the night before. It was, without a doubt, the best night of my life.
And just like that, our daily routine resumed.
Even after sharing such intimacy, our relationship remained unchanged. We continued to clash as the top swordsman and mage, trading insults whenever we met.
It was as if that night had been nothing more than a dream, so little had changed.
To an outsider, it would be impossible to believe we had already slept together twice.
But that thought, in its own way, was deeply saddening.
For a week, I wrestled with these turbulent feelings, but my mind found no peace.

“That concludes the full account of the Tein Cassina Incident. This will be on the test, but remember that the case is still under debate, so be careful not to rely on outdated information.”

The teacher’s voice droned on. It was modern history class, and we were covering the most crucial event of the era: the Tein Cassina Incident.
The incident, a decade-old indiscriminate massacre of mages, remains shrouded in controversy, its full details still hotly debated.
But I couldn’t care less about any of that. Remietta’s image haunted my thoughts, refusing to fade.
That small, cute, prim loli had captured my heart and refused to let go.
It’s true what they say about men being simple creatures. Once we’ve shared intimacy, even a woman we once despised can stir feelings of affection.
I was falling for Remietta. No, I had fallen for her.
The way she whimpered so sweetly beneath me was utterly endearing, and even her usual taunts now sounded pleasant.
But the problem was that Remietta didn’t love me.
She was merely using me to satisfy her insatiable desires.
Once her lust subsided, she wouldn’t care about me at all.
In fact, over the past week, our interactions had been nothing more than exchanges of insults.
Our next encounter would only happen when Remietta’s sexual urges flared again. When would that be? Tomorrow? A week from now? A month?
Or perhaps she’d find someone else to satisfy her needs. Maybe she’d turn to one of the male Mages who lingered around her. The thought alone made my chest ache with pain.

“Mr. Elvin! Mr. Elvin!”

“…What is it?”

As I wallowed in my gloomy thoughts, Yurio, my attendant, called out to me.

“Hey, wanna hang out with the swordsman crew after school today? I heard there’s a new movie out.”

“A movie? Hmm… that might be good.”

I couldn’t keep thinking about Remietta forever. Watching a movie with my friends would be a good way to clear my head.
With that thought, I stood up as soon as classes ended for the day.

◇

We went to the Royal Capital’s largest cinema to see the new release.
It turned out to be a tragic love story—the kind where the romance never works out. It just left me feeling even more wounded.
The plot, about two noble children from opposing families who fall in love and ultimately die together in defeat, hit too close to home.

“Wow, that was great, Mr. Elvin!”

“It’s good to watch romance movies once in a while.”

My friends were all excited and chattering, but I couldn’t bring myself to join in.
If this is how I’d feel, I wish I’d seen the monster movie playing in the same theater. It supposedly stars a former Sword Knight and is full of acrobatic stunts.
My heart truly sank—

“Oh? What are you doing here?”

The voice I most wanted to hear reached my ears.

“Remietta—”

“Y-you’re Remietta!”

“Hey! What do you want with Mr. Elvin?!”

Just as I was about to reply with a smile, Yurio and the others stepped forward to confront Remietta, cutting me off.

“Did you come to see a movie alone? You lonely thing!”

“That’s right! So you’re just a lonely woman with no followers after all!”

Remietta, who usually travels with an entourage, was alone today. Yurio and his group seized the opportunity to attack, trying to gain the upper hand.
But such a weak attack would never work against Remietta.

“I wish you’d realize how illogical and nonsensical your arguments have become. Is it wrong to come to the movies alone? The fact that you’re using this as an attack reveals your own fear of being alone—a weakness you’re trying to hide. It might be a difficult concept for you, petty people who can only function in groups.”

“W-what did you say?! You bastard! Spouting such nonsense!”

“Yeah, yeah! This is why Mages are useless!”

Yurio and his gang, thoroughly refuted by Remietta’s lengthy rebuttal, flushed crimson with anger. I wish they’d realize that their behavior was degrading their own character and, by extension, tarnishing the reputation of swordsmen.

“Stop it. Any further fighting will only cause harm.”

“Mr. Elvin!”

“What’s the point of this exchange?”

“Hmph—”

It was truly a pointless exercise. But as long as we were swordsmen and she was a magician, fate seemed to compel it.
That’s why I wanted to finish the ranking quickly and be done with it.
But now, even the ranking seemed meaningless.
Swordsmen and mages were both vital pillars of the nation. We should forget past grudges and work together.

“My bad. It’s none of our business how anyone watches a movie.”

“Good. You’re the only one here with any sense.”

“…Yeah.”

I quietly agreed, ignoring Remietta’s casual taunt.
As if caught off guard, she clamped her mouth shut.
To this Remietta, I suddenly asked:

“What do you think?”

“About what?”

“Do you believe there’s any meaning to our interactions?”

This was something Remietta had always wanted to ask.
Remietta was intelligent. She must understand that the conflict between swordsmen and magicians held no deeper significance beyond past grudges.
I had come to this realization through my physical intimacy with Remietta. But what about her?

“I have no intention of answering that question here and now.”

Remietta replied, glancing at Yurio and the others.
Only I understood the true meaning behind her words.

“I see.”

“Yes. Until next time.”

With that, Remietta turned and walked away. I watched her retreating figure intently.

“Mr. Elvin…?”

Yurio and the others seemed puzzled by our exchange, their faces etched with question marks.
But I shook my head without offering an explanation.

“Let’s call it a day here.”

“S-s-sorry! That woman… she talked us into it…”

“We’re sorry!”

Yurio and the others bowed deeply, probably thinking I was angry about losing to Remietta.

“I’m not angry.”

“But—”

“Well, let’s see… why are we even fighting each other?”

“Huh?”

Since winning or losing doesn’t matter, it’s all pointless. Right now, I’m only thinking about how to end this meaningless conflict. That’s why I asked Yurio and the others.

“Just think about it. Really think about it.”

With that, I left the movie theater. My feet naturally carried me in the direction Remietta had gone.

◇

I hurried down the street and quickly caught up with Remietta.
Being petite, her walking speed was slow, and I closed the distance in no time.

“Hey, Remietta.”

“…What is it?”

Mustering my courage, I called out to her. Remietta stopped abruptly and turned around, her face twisted in annoyance.

“Just wondering if you enjoyed the movie.”

“…Did you come here just to say something pointless?”

“You know that’s not why.”

“Well, yes. It was interesting.”

Despite her displeased expression, I persisted in talking to her. Eventually, though she looked exasperated, Remietta humored me.
Not long ago, she wouldn’t have even acknowledged me. I wanted to believe that our distance was shrinking.

“Remietta, you were watching that new monster movie, right? I didn’t know you were into that kind of thing.”

“Yeah. I don’t really get romance movies. If I were going to watch something, shouldn’t I pick something more exciting?”

“That makes sense.”

“Exactly.”

As we talked, we strolled down the street.
There wasn’t a hint of awkwardness between us; only pure, unadulterated joy filled the air. I cherished these moments more than anything and wished they could last forever.
I couldn’t take my eyes off Remietta walking beside me.
Her silvery hair billowed in the breeze as she spoke animatedly, looking more beautiful than anyone I’d ever seen.
Today, she wasn’t wearing her usual school uniform but a charming casual outfit: a pristine white blouse paired with a jumper dress. It was a perfectly fitting, elegant look that suited her perfectly.

“What is it? Why are you staring?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

“You don’t have to pretend. Hehe. You like me, don’t you?”

“H-how could I? It’s just a physical thing.”

I should have just admitted it honestly, but my petty pride wouldn’t allow it.
I regretted saying it immediately, but Remietta acted as if she hadn’t heard a word.

“Well, let’s just pretend that’s the case.”

Her attitude seemed to say she saw right through me, but right now, I was grateful for it.
If things had gotten complicated here, I would never have forgiven myself.

“Hmph… that’s right, you idiot.”

Still, I hated that I couldn’t just admit the truth.

“By the way, do you have time after this?”

“T-time?”

“Yes.”

My heart leaped at Remietta’s words.

“Ah! No problem.”

“Then could you spare some time? I want to discuss what we should do from now on.”

“Sure! How about my room? This is something we can’t let anyone else hear, right?”

“…I sense a hint of mischief in your thoughts, but I suppose it’ll do.”

Remietta said this and started walking back toward the academy.
My heart pounded even harder.

◇

Using invisibility magic, I successfully led Remietta to my room in the Men’s Dormitory without anyone noticing.
As the second son of the Reinebell Family, I had my own private room. Once I locked the door and Remietta cast a soundproof barrier, we had a perfectly sealed chamber.

“…Surprisingly tidy. I expected it to be much messier.”

“I hate clutter. Don’t you?”

“Absolutely.”

Remietta’s room was also neat and clean, but mine was no less organized.
I kept only the bare essentials because I didn’t want anything hindering my productivity in life.
Even during such trivial conversations, I couldn’t take my eyes off Remietta.
When you’re alone with someone in a private room, it’s impossible not to become aware of them. Especially after a week of being denied, I was struggling to suppress my own desires.
Seeing my struggle, Remietta narrowed her eyes.

“…So, what did you want to talk about?”

“Right. But before we get to that—”

I tried to cut to the chase, but Remietta stopped me and moved closer.
Closing the distance to about ten centimeters, she looked up at me with a mischievous smile.

“Are you in a state where you can even talk properly?”

“—”

Remietta’s scent tickled my nostrils, further fueling my arousal.
Her eyes seemed to see right through me, making me feel like I was being played like a puppet.

“Hehe. Pervert.”

Remietta chuckled gleefully. I could only manage a defiant smirk in response.
Why was I so obsessed with Remietta? There were plenty of women with bigger br3asts and more alluring figures. Yet I found myself captivated by this petite, demure girl with her small chest and hips.

“What is it…?”

“Don’t play innocent. Are you trying to gain the upper hand?”

“…………”

“Fine, whatever.”

With that, Remietta turned her back on me.

“Want to get it out of your system?”

“Huh?”

“We can’t talk properly like this, can we?”

“Remietta…”

She glanced back, her eyes flashing with a seductive glint.
Drawn in as if by a magnet, I gently wrapped my arms around her from behind.

“Just once,”

“Ah, yeah.”

No more words were needed.
I pressed my groin against her small, skirt-covered hips, grinding against her without a word of protest.
She had granted me permission to cum inside her just once.
We were doomed.
Having tasted the pleasures of man and woman, we were now hopelessly addicted.
