Chapter 50

Nikami POV

I passed Emica, and she didn't seem fazed by it, and placed my breakfast on a table, I sat down staring at it. Normal bacon and eggs, with it a cup of coffee. I took the mug and held it under my nose, inhaling the hot scent of caffeine. The mug also warmed up my hands which made me feel slightly relaxed.

"How nice…" I blurted out, Emica flinching at my sudden words.

"I did my best Nikami-sama, you always loved your coffee black, and oh! I'll go prepare the bath. I'll come back when it's ready, please excuse me." Emica let out a small giggle, doing a bow and going inside the bathroom.

I let out a sigh of relief, glancing over at the door to Yasachu's room. I narrowed my eyes in frustration and sipped the coffee, put down the mug, and started to eat.

"How annoying…" I mumbled to myself.

"Of course, it was annoying, having a roommate was annoying enough, but having the center of the universe as a roommate? More infuriating." I grumbled.

As I finished my food I saw myself talking a lot, about the texture of the bacon, the scent of the coffee… This curse is worse than I thought.

"The bath is done Nikami-sama, would you like to take a bath now?" Emica asked me.

"Yes, make sure to prepare my clothes." I answered, standing up and going over to the bathroom. I took off my clothes, undid my braids, and I put on fingerless gloves on my left hand. Got in the tub, I put in my feet first then my whole body.

I let out another sigh as I looked down at the water.

"It's too cold." I whined, looking around for the shampoo and soap. and started to wash myself.

Right after I finished that, I groaned and got out of the bath.

"Emica!" I called out to her, and she immediately rushed in with a towel and a bathrobe.

"Come here," I called her once more, water dripping off my body, she nodded and wiped off the water and also put on my bathrobe.

"Can you style my hair?" I asked, running my hand through my hair, taking all of the water on it and guiding it in front of me, my hair was immediately dried up as the water blob stayed hovering in front of me. I took off my fingerless gloves and poked the blob for a second and it quickly frosted up and froze.

"Of course Nikami-sama." She answered, also slightly confused about the fact that I kept on talking but still kept on smiling. She took my long white gloves and put them on my left hand.

"Good. Let's carry on." I walked over to the outside, sitting on the couch and waiting for Emica. She quickly went behind me and braided my hair, going all around my head as I adjusted my bangs.

Right after I did so, Emica helped me put on my clothes and she asked a question.

"Nikami-sama, you are awfully talkative today, did something happen?" She asked, adjusting my green tie.

"It's just a weird masked girl who went inside my room and cursed me or something. It only takes a day or so, I hope she was actually telling the truth." I spoke without hesitation, but then quickly covered my mouth.

"Shit." I mumbled under my breath.

"Ah?! What?! Why didn't you tell me?! This is extremely serious!!" She lifted up her head to look at me in the eyes.

"It's nothing that bad, I just talk a lot. And that's really it. I can get through this, it's absolutely nothing to me." I sighed, speaking with confidence as I walked towards the door to the outside.

"W-wait a moment Nikami-sama, maybe we should tell a teacher about thi-" Before she could even finish I cut her off.

"Why is she not awake yet?" I asked her, glancing over at Yasachu's room.

"I finished my food, got into a bath, and yet she still hasn't woken up?" I told her my concerns, letting out another sigh.

"That is true…" She nodded, looking over to it as well.

"Want me to lock pick her room and open it?" She snickered with a grin.

"No." I replied quickly.

"Ahaha! Okay, okay, I'm just joking Nikami-sama." She laughed.

"Though I guess that isn't in your concerns, you should probably get to class now right?" Emica looked back at me, smiling.

Good. She was always so easily distracted. I wrote in my notebook, walking out the door.

I looked behind me and saw Emica just cleaning the dorms, and in confusion I said something.

"You aren't coming with me?" I blurted out.

"Ah! They said I couldn't really follow you around always. Only when you specifically call me. It is a weird system, but Nikami-sama is perfect anyway. She doesn't need anyone's help." She flashed a smile at me.

"That's not true." I mumbled, but walked out anyway.

As I kept on walking along the halls, towards the outside of the dorms, and then towards the campus I found myself keeping on writing.

"Must be perfect… I can get through this all on my own." I spoke out.

"Tch." I clicked out my tongue in response, irritated by always speaking or writing.

My face slightly lit up when I saw Shukona and Raijin in the entrance, talking to each other. But… I also saw some girls around Raijin and couldn't help but feel something prick my heart.

"Look! It's Gakerumi-sama! He is such a cool prince…" A girl spoke.

"Hey look, it's the sister of the Amatarini brothers, I heard she's a brat." A boy spoke.

"Tch, why is highschool always so dumb, even here it's full of gossip…" I grumbled as I walked towards the two, glancing over at Raijin blissfully talking with the girls.

"And then I said, What did you just say about my hair?!" Raijin chuckled loudly in a joking manner.

"And you punched him didn't you?" Shukona added.

"Oh look, it's mister playboy." I glared at the girls who were talking with Raijin.

"Hah? And what? Are you jealous, miss bookworm?" Raijin rolled her eyes at me.

"And is there a problem?" I clicked my tongue.

"Excuse me?" Shukona was startled at the sudden response, I usually wouldn't answer that quickly.

"You are my fiancee. I am engaged to you. So please, act like it. You dolt." I spat, just staring right at him.

"W-what the? And here I thought you never had a filter?!" Raijin got a bit taken aback at my words.

"Nika, you are awfully talkative today, did something happen?" Shukona asked.

"Curious. Emica said the same thing." I turned to Shukona.

"Eh? Seriously? Weird." Raijin chuckled.

"But yea! You are being super talkative! Maybe more honest as well?" Raijin put her hands on her pockets and stared at me.

"I'll explain later, there are people here." I glanced over at the girls and students looking at us.

"Come on." I took Raijin's hand and went straight towards inside the school.

"H-hey?! What the hell?!" Raijin yelled out, confused at me suddenly holding her hand. She turned red at this action as Shukona followed up behind.

"You are being straightforward as well, you are usually more stoic…" Shukona added.

"I guess, is it really that obvious? I know I don't talk a lot, but really?" I continued to drag Raijin towards the back garden of the school.

"Hah! One thing for sure! I like it more this way! You may insult me a lot, but at least it's more honest!" Raijin chuckled loudly.

"I am always honest with you two. I just rarely open up. I guess." I spoke to them, finally arriving at the garden. I let go of Raijin and walked towards in front of them, letting out a small sigh.

"So? What did happen?" Shukona folded her hands and looked at me up and down.

"I got cursed."

"HAH?!? YOU FUCKING WHAT?!?"

"Cu-cursed?! This is only your first day!! How did you make someone mad already?!"
