by adminMeanwhile, at the same time.
All the noble ladies and rich girls who have been assigned to the first-year Gremory class at the academy and have a new start… … .
Entering an unfamiliar space and seeing Miss Penny Dickens fidgeting like a small animal, I found it so cute that I couldn’t help but gorge on her.
However, it was a long time in the future that they all ended up in Penny Dickens’ orgy harem… … .
However, only one person, Professor Rolande Vassé, was different.
Because as soon as he saw Miss Ratsby Maxwell sitting behind Penny Dickens, he was instinctively frightened and forgot all thoughts.
“Nyahahang─! Are you at peace? I’m Ratsby Maxwell, and my specialty is hunting! My favorite food is Ratatouille! Please take care of everyone!”
“Hiik… … . Cough, Clock.”
A new year has begun for some with the excitement of starting, and for others with life-threatening threats.
───
Lunch hour. Even though I knew it was rude to visit him while he was eating, I felt like I had no choice but to wander around the restaurant looking for Virgilia.
Originally, I was planning to go upstairs early during the break between classes and talk to Vergilia… … The moment I left the classroom, I realized that 10 minutes was not enough.
However, finding someone with a calm silhouette like your senior in the cafeteria of Labyrinth Academy, where the amount of information is ridiculously high, is like finding Willy in the desert.
Let alone a human figure, seeing things like a will-o’-the-wisps floating in the air, a walking chunk of rock, a pile of burning books, or a pink solution in a huge glass bottle… … Wait, that’s Miss Edrose?!
Miss Sammy was carrying a glass bottle that looked as large and heavy as her body with a rope tied to her body. I hurriedly ran there. “Miss Sammy!”
As I put the bottle down on the floor and pulled out the large cork, an exhausted voice came from inside.
“Ugh, I said there wouldn’t be a problem as long as I replenish moisture──. Ugh, ugh, motion sickness… … . Grrrr… … .”
Slime also gets motion sickness. “Huhhh──. I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I wanted to get together and eat together at least once!”
Six, no, five people in rooms 609 and 610 piled on as much knowledge as they wanted and headed to the same table. It’s a very youth-like scene! Moreover, from the first day, we all ate together instead of alone… … !
While Miss Sammy was pouring the shredded steak into the glass jar, I looked around the restaurant with my eyes intently.
… … But it is also not visible. Although it’s more likely that I simply haven’t found it.
“Hey, Penny. What are you looking for?” Miss Ratsby asked, shoving boiled bonito salad into her mouth.
“2nd grade Belial class… … . Senior InContinentia Virgilia. ” With a tray of steaming pasta in front of me, I roll my eyes and look through the lenses of my glasses from end to end.
“Oh, you mean being asked to be a sister?”
“Wait a minute, how does Miss Ratsby know that…? … !?”
“Show evidence: From user Puckleberry Finland, I heard an explanation of what happened yesterday afternoon.”
Ms. Ratsby explained further to the confused me. “We left it aside and asked where it was just you and Phineas, and I heard that a second-year demon senior asked you to be his little sister?”
… … What happened after that was properly hidden, right!? When I looked at Finn, he briefly stuck out his tongue and said, “I’m sorry.” What does it mean?
“You shouldn’t have an affair when there’s a pretty girl like Phineas who only has eyes for you, Penny Nyan.”
“Red dragon’s breath is very hot compared to other dragon species, so caution is required.”
… … I felt that yesterday too. Although they certainly hid the sticky semen kiss they shared in the room, it seems that it was difficult to hide the source of the enormous amount of snacks that were visible to the eye.
In fact, it would be a good thing if the topic of Girls’ Talk was focused on that rather than the fishy smell that was vibrating in the room.
“Penny said something absurd about accepting Soror’s application, so Phineas got upset and said all the content without substance─.”
Finn shouted, his cheeks as red as the tomato sauce on his face. “No, don’t sleep──! Rae Rae Rae Miss Bee, I won’t say that… … .”
… … How much did you say? Suddenly the pasta has no taste. “Miss Penny─! This time too, there are long nostrils—!”
There’s no way that Finn, who had so much fun creating our own secrets, would have even leaked information about that thing hanging between my crotch… … .
In fact, the scariest thing is that Room 610 may just be a group of considerate friends who do not bring up issues related to sex even though they know everything.
“But how could a petty opportunist like Penny turn down such a lucrative offer? Plus, I got a bunch of presents.”
Everyone’s attention was focused on Miss Edrose in the glass jar where she was biodegrading the steak. Lived… … ! That was a good change of topic!
“That’s right. But I can’t find where it went… … . Don’t noble ladies like learning?”
“Eng─. Is learning this delicious?” Miss Ratsby said, licking her fork.
“The chefs at our academy are experts enough to be in charge of feeding the Demon King’s Army officer corps. Besides, no matter how warm the lunch box is, it can’t compare to freshly cooked food!”
“Still, after eating a high-end course meal at home, to suddenly eat at a place like this… … .”
“That’s prejudice──.”
Finn added a word. “Well, nobles may dislike this kind of hustle and bustle.”
“… … Anyway, I need to find out where it is… … .”
Sammy Yang’s idea. “Wouldn’t it be okay if I wait in the lobby after school─?”
“I don’t even know when the 2nd grade class ends, so I can’t wait… … And the lobby is bigger than here! Miss Edrose, do you know where the second-year Belial class is?”
“… … Why are you asking me that? Isn’t it you who went to the second grade classroom?”
“Miss Edrose is a super smart supercomputer, right? I knew everything about school inside out… … . Is there an easy way to find the way?”
“Memorize things like directions and use them somewhere. It is most important to obtain nutrients meaningful for life activities in places that can be reached immediately. At least for slimes.”
That may not be an excuse for not taking a step out of bed, but Miss Edrose’s position, having been squeezed by Miss Sammy and taken away in a glass bottle, seemed quite unfair.
All the red-skinned demons passing by saw me looking at them, and Miss Edrose, who had been silent for a while, opened her mouth.
“By the way, did you choose a gift?”
I cupped my hands and turned the telescope towards both Edrose. “Huh? that… … Should I? Is there such a thing as a tradition?”
I look around, but everyone shakes their heads.
“There is nothing wrong with that kind of tradition, but since you received something, you don’t have to repay it. At the very least, it would be nice to have a sincere letter, but if you’re Penny’s personality, you’ll probably end up wondering what to write and then that senior will graduate first.”
“Ah… … .” Come to think of it. “Why is Miss Edrose better at social life than me… … .”
“… … Suffice it to say that slimes are destined to constantly engage in sharp politics and communication from the moment they are born until they die.”
It doesn’t look like that at all… … That would be the case with Miss Edrose. Anyway, it feels like I got hit with a hammer.
Come to think of it, it would be rude to return empty-handed after receiving so many snacks. So where do you get gifts?
“… … Do demons eat fish too?”
There are horrified looks pouring in from all around me. Miss Edrose, who was worse off, said something. “You eat it, but why don’t you give it up as a gift?”
Only one person, Miss Ratsby, speaks with sparkling eyes… … . “Yes! Don’t do that, give it to Nya instead! Huh?”
As the daughter of a fishmonger, this is a moment when my pride is strangely hurt! I’ve lived my whole life being ridiculed for being fishy, but here I have no choice but to protest… … !
“But, salted pollack roe, sea urchin roe, and bottled salted fish are also popular as gifts… … .”
“Optimized advice is calculated: Give something like that only after you start dating, and since you received snacks bought at the store, it is not burdensome for the recipient to return a gift as light as something you can buy at the store as well.”
“Puuup──!”
In ‘After Dating’, the lemonade that Finn was drinking hit Miss Ratsby directly in the eye. “Nyaaaahhh──! My eyes!!”
───
Following Ms. Ratsby’s logic that since we shared all the snacks we received from senior Virgilia, we should all buy gifts together, everyone rushed to the snack stand.
Miss Sammy tied a glass bottle to her body and returned to the dormitory to take the complaining Miss Edrose to her room.
As soon as I entered the kiosk, or rather the ‘general store’, the bright white light of fluorescent lights, which I had rarely seen before, pierced my eyes.
“Welcome─.” A large dog stood up on two legs and greeted us. Judging from the fact that he was wearing a cape, he was a cadet at the academy. The yellow fur is fluffy… … !
Under the chin… … Hot, let’s hold on. You have to endure it. That’s not a dog, that’s a monmusu.
Unlike other spaces in the academy, which had a luxurious low-fantasy atmosphere, the store was decorated like a department store or large supermarket commonly found in the human world.
It is said that when the Academy was built after the invasion 1,000 years ago, it followed the structure of the ‘dungeon’ built by the Demon King.
In fact, this store here was originally decorated in the same way as the ‘miscellaneous stores’ located inside the dungeon.
So, as convenience store trips to other worlds occurred several times, the other worlds gradually became familiar with humanity’s store format, or something like that… … .
The only remaining trace of what it was like 1,000 years ago is the wooden sign at the entrance that says ‘General Store’.
It is said that even though the store underwent construction several times, the sign always maintained its old appearance, as if it were about 1,000 years old. Yes. That sign is new, but it was intentionally made to look old.
… … Of course, as the spending power of the users was no joke, the size of the store was in no way comparable to an ordinary store.
When I first walked in, I was nervous because of the familiar, down-to-earth feel that only notebooks and pots were being sold, but as soon as I turned the corner, what appeared was a ring worth several months’ worth of sales at our store.
It was easy to wander around the store as it was getting quiet at the end of lunch hour, but we were also pressed for time.
Unlike me, who had no idea what to choose, everyone except Miss Edrose had different opinions about which gift was best.
“How about snacks? That senior must have thought that cookies were the best gift and gave them to him.”
“Recommendation: Stylish accessories or jewelry are always great gift items. If the other person is a student, wouldn’t it be a good idea to give them school supplies?”
“I vote for cosmetics! ah… … But I don’t know that senior’s skin tone. Is it a cool tone or a warm tone?” It’s a sultry tone.
Miss Sammy, who returned late, joins the conversation. “I think it’s okay to have a couple ring since it’s a gift to establish a noble sisterly relationship─.”
“That-that’s-no-no-Kyaan… … !!” Then, only my head, which was standing in the middle, was burned.
I blew out the fire on the top of my head. “… … Yeah, yeah. The ring may be a bit of an error. Even if that side is too burdensome, it’s okay.”
Spending money that our family has never touched in one go in our lives in something like this is not just a little, but a big mistake.
“Ah, in times like this, trust Ratsby’s intuition! Because Nya’s intuition has never been wrong!”
… … What can I say, the cat says that, so it’s incredibly believable. I turned the corner, following Miss Ratsby, who ran away without making any sound.
A show window filled with luxurious perfume bottles appeared. Inside the store, a dryad clerk with flowery hair greeted me with a smile.
… … For a moment, my eyes were so dazzled that I almost went blind. It no longer felt like the atmosphere of an ordinary academy canteen was anything to go by. Even though it is an academy attended by nobles and rich people who care about maintaining their dignity… … ! I wonder if it’s a bit too polite.
me… … It was the first time for someone from a rural area like me to come to a place like this. In my hometown, I only used cheap perfume bought at a fancy store. To begin with, I am not familiar with the perfume itself.
I’ve lived my whole life without knowing how to decorate, and more than anything, it would have been a big deal if the fish smelled like perfume when I was helping out at the store.
“Can I help you? ” Miss Ratsby, who was standing with a strong stance while stopping the dryad clerk who spoke to her with her palm, raised her finger and said.
“ character. Penny, Penny! Tell me three impressive words that senior said!”
“… … Suddenly?” I, who had been staring at the stall as if fascinated, raised my head.
Finn, who was standing next to him, poked his forearm. “Penny, trust me… … ! Ms. Ratsby is not just an expert in this kind of work, she is a craftsman!”
“… … What did the senior say?” I glance towards Finn.
“I forgot everything.” Finn smiles and draws a V with his hand. It’s like this cute dragon… … !
“Umm… … , When we first met, I said, ‘The tie is crooked’… … .” I closed my eyes and recalled the contents of episode 13 as best as I could. “ I think they also said, ‘Eat this or that’ or ‘Did you enjoy the sights?!’”
“Oh─hoho… … , It’s not easy for you, senior. I understand why Penny and Phineas were so scared… … .” Then, he folded his stubby pink fingers one by one and counted something.
One, two, three… … nine!
──Sparkling! The cat’s eyes lit up, and Miss Ratsby’s tail stood on end. He then pointed his finger in the direction the tail was heading. “That’s it! With gift wrapping!”
The Dryad clerk smiled, lowered his head, and, while rustling the flower petals, headed to the counter and put the perfume bottle into the box. Finn and I, common people, quietly approached the stand where the bottles were placed and looked at the price tag.
“… … !%%&──!!”
“… … ***$*──!!!”
Finn was shaking with his tail standing upright, and I was shaking with my tail being shriveled up. Now, how many times do I have to submit a document to cancel it?
Yes, for out-of-towners like us, the option to ‘cancel an order’ does not exist. Even if the food comes out wrong, if it’s the same price, you can still eat it… … !
Excluding Ms. Edrose, who is questionable as to whether or not she even lives in finance, there are 5 people who run the business, but the prices are enormous… … !
“Then── lump sum payment.”
What are you talking about–!! I was so shocked that I tried to stop him without even a voice coming out, but he was already in front of the counter… … Miss Ratsby took out a card and held it up.
A black card.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry──. Let’s assume this is a gift from me to support Penny Cat. Instead, I need to get into Penny Nyang’s heart, so buy me a copy of 《The Revenge of Medusa Bamson》 later.”
… … Is even Miss Ratsby a gold digger? Ms. Sammy also looked at the card and was impressed, saying, ‘Miss Ratsby, your level is one level higher than mine.’ … .
Although I was fortunate financially, my shocked heart did not subside at all. Is this really okay?
The dryad clerk, who was watching the price debate with a smile, looked at us curiously as we skillfully wrapped the wrapping paper, and then spoke carefully.
“… … This is a scent that a lot of demon girls are looking for, do you mind?”
