Choo-choo, choo-choo.

　The morning sun is shining through the window. It's finally starting to feel a little warmer now that the cold weather has finally settled in, but it still feels a little chilly in the morning, and I can't bring myself to get out of the futon.

　I'm up to my head in the futon, and as I'm sleeping.

Oh, Ray... morning... wake up...

　And I hear a woman's voice from the hallway. I want to get up, but my brain won't listen to me. I pull the covers up to my head again so I can't hear it. Then a few minutes later, slam, slam!　And then a horrible noise is heard from the corridor. Then the door is opened vigorously. The one who comes in.

'Ray, get up now!　It was Ray who told me to wake you up because it's a big day!

　And a little angry woman it was Ferris.........

　Why would Ferris be in the Kingdom of Nanor?　That's because I came to study abroad at Cardia Academy two years ago. I also found out after Ferris came to study abroad, but it seems that within the alliance of the Nanor Kingdom, the Beastmen's Kingdom Warbestos, and the Arcadia Pope's Kingdom, there is a study abroad program, and there are times when students from other countries come to study abroad like this one, or vice versa.

　I was surprised when Ferris came two years ago. As soon as I thought that Alexia and I were suddenly summoned to the royal palace, Ferris said he's going to start living with us today. And it's with the approval of the Beast King. Since the Beast King approves, Alexia couldn't say anything strongly enough, and Ferris ended up moving in with me.

　Aeris is intimidated by Ferris when she meets him for the first time, and Ferris has a strong personality, so he is opposed to her. It was hard at the time. Now everyone is supposed to be close........so it's okay......maybe.

　When I was thinking about that.

Stay awake!

　And I hear a jumping sound. ........what?　Jumping?　By the time I came to, it was already too late.

　Boom!

Ugh!

　Ferris bounced onto my belly. Yah, he did it, didn't he? Ferris looks at me writhing in agony and smiles a little with satisfaction. Ferris," he says, smiling a little pleased with himself. You're going to regret pissing me off!

'Huh!　Hey, Ray!

　Ferris makes a glossy voice. The reason I make these sounds is because I'm muffing Ferris' beautiful tail!　He stroked and touched the silky fur, sometimes gripping and firring the core of his tail.

'Hey!　Ahhh!　No, you can't touch it!　Don't touch it, you can't do that!　Uhhhh!

　Oh, man. I think I'm getting a little excited.

　Firs, firs, fir.

Ray!　Really, yah!　No, don't....

　firestorm

No, don't...

　firestorm

I'm telling you!

Guhaaa!

　Ferris seems to have run out of patience and bites my pigeon tail with a goopan. I writhe as my fist morosely enters my pigeontail.

'Hoo, hoo, leh, it's Ray's fault!　Moo, moo, moo, moo, moo, moo, moo, moo, moo on your precious tail like that!

I'm sorry. I just thought Ferris was too cute.

　I said I was sorry, and Ferris said.

I didn't call you cute, dammit!　Just get up early!

　And left the room quickly. But I didn't miss it. Ferris' tail was wagging in a good mood!

　I finally wake up with all that going on. From now on, it's not the training clothes I've always worn, but these clothes I'll be wearing from today.

Hmmm. I don't think they'll always fit me, but...

　It was the student uniform of Cardia Academy. A blazer with a white background, a tie and lines that went into the clothes, color-coded for each year of enrollment. The most senior year, Aeris' year, would be yellow, the third year with Ferris would be blue, the second year with Ferris would be green, and the first year, who was entering this year, would be red.

　I put my arm through my new school uniform. What can I say? The smell of new clothes that haven't been dyed any color yet. It feels crisper and tighter than the clothes I'm used to wearing. And an unfamiliar tie. And when I stand in front of the mirror...well, I still don't think I look good in it.

　I can't go to the academy without wearing it while thinking about that, so I went downstairs like this, and in the living room on the first floor, Ferris was preparing breakfast. Ferris is the best cook in the house, after all. On the contrary, Alexia is devastated. What's the difference between them being the same princess?

'They're finally coming down....right....

　Hmm?　Ferris looked at me and froze. What's going on?

What's up, Ferris?

　I asked as I moved closer to look into his face, and Ferris went red in the face.

Nyanka, nyanka!　But you look good in your school uniform, too!

　And he compliments me on this appearance. I used to think he'd be red-faced and angry, but now I can see he's embarrassed, and after two years of living together, what Ferris might think of me. I even received a letter from the Beast King that said that I would be married to Miss Alexia. I didn't tell Ferris that. Zeke seemed to know about it, too. Maybe it was when we were sneaking around.

　I was staring at Ferris, and he was looking at me.

What?

　He asks shyly. And his dog ears are twitching and quivering. Cute.

'No, I just thought Ferris was cute,'

　When I say that, her face turns so red that you can hear a bonk.

Hehehe, don't be silly, eat your dinner!　You're going to be late!

　And ran back to the kitchen. And.

Whew!

　I fell. .... oh, get up and look at me with tears in your eyes. What happened?

My...

Huh?

Don't look~!

　And left for the kitchen. I feel sorry for him if he messes with it too much. I sat down and ate my meal. White bread and vegetable soup. A fried egg with bacon, an assortment of salads, and all the morning staples!　It is served so well. It's all delicious.

　While I'm eating my meal, Ferris comes back to sneak around. Why is he so alarmed?　Well, let me ask you a question I've been wondering about since I got here.

'Speaking of which, what's going on with your sister?'

　Yes, I can't see Aeris. Normally we all spend our mornings eating together, but for some reason, she's not here today. When I asked Ferris about this, he looked extremely puzzled. What's that?

'Didn't you listen to your sister yesterday already?　You said you had to go early today to prepare for the entrance ceremony. It's hard work being a vice president.

　And Ferris starts eating his food. Come to think of it, I think I've said something like that. I had forgotten all about it. Aeris has been the vice-president of the student council since last year. The president is, of course, Princess Marina, who is in the same grade as him. I hear that she works hard every day to assist her. ''It's so hard to take care of Marina...'' she blurted out, reminding me of Alexia's sympathy for her.

'Ray's starting school today, so I went out in full force. He's going to make it a great entrance ceremony.

　No, it's fine as usual.

　And so it's time to leave. I'll go with Ferris in the morning.

'Come on, let's go!'

　Ferris is in a good mood. His tail is wagging happily. My new life starts today. I hope I'm in no trouble.
