Chapter 101: Attendance After a Long Time

That went better than I expected.

No, maybe she was just too defenseless. After having finished breakfast, I finally sighed in relief at the beginning of this never-changing daily life.

The people who have that same perspective weren’t just me and Ludi. Interestingly, Nee-san, Marino-san, and Nanami are also the same. Sempai is a little reluctant but in the end, she was convinced that it can’t be helped.

Everyone was making their preparation in high-spirit. Especially Marino-san who unmistakably is half playing around right now. However, the reason that it was such a great success was also that Marino-san perfectly performs the most important role.

“When everything goes so well like this it kinda makes me feel anxious……”

As I muttered so, Ludi slightly tilts her head to the side.

“This is what I anticipated though, Takioto-san.”

Yup, I can only feel the sense of wrongness from her tone of voice.

Since I haven’t gone to the academy for quite some time, Ludi’s Ojou-sama mode might be the cause of my anxiety.

“But what would you think if the same happened to you? won’t you feel frustrating?”

“Isn’t it depending on the time and occasion? I think it is finally the time for you to be appreciated.”

“I also agree with Ludi-sama.”

Said Nanami who is walking diagonally behind us.

“According to the information I procured, it seems like they felt restless after they observed Goshujin-sama and Ludi-sama rapid growth rate.”

“I haven’t heard anything about that…..”

Ludi slightly lowered her eyebrows and make a dissatisfied face.

Hmm, if she is seriously worried about that then I think Ludi would never say it out loud. She would keep it hidden inside her heart. Even so, how did Nanami get hold of that kind of information?

In Sempai’s case as well, Nanami’s source of information is a mystery.

“How did you acquire such information…..?”

“I invited the concerned person with a bottle of fruit wine and get them drunk then just extracted everything in one go.”

I see. After she got them drunk with the fruit wine huh. I am worried about the part she said [everything] and [extracted] but let’s ignore that as much as possible.

“If it just making them talk then it is fine with me but be sure not to overdo it.”

Nanami has been doing her job excellently these days but she can do some weird things at times——

“Please be at ease. I have also acquired her preferences in men and her three-sizes as well.”

————I must give her a reward. What a wonderful maid she is. There’s no maid more wonderful than Nanami even if you search for one in the entire wor-……….

“Ugh….”

“Takioto-san, we will arrive soon you know.”

“Yes…….”

Ludi-san. It’s a joke so please stop stabbing your elbow into my stomach.

————–

“Takioto’s here, I wonder if there will be a snow storm tomorrow.”

Orange looked at me with a serious expression and said so.

“Hey hey, what does that mean?”

“Well, I haven’t seen you attending the class recently right?”

“Yeah, I never see you in the classroom at all…..we met up sometimes and had lunch together though…..”

Well, it is exactly like that. I have been skipping classes ever since the test started and even before that too. Even when I come to the academy, I arrived at lunch break or just come here to dive into the dungeon.

If I don’t have any plans for today’s afternoon, I might just dive into the dungeon without coming here at all.

“Well, you guys don’t have to look at me like you saw a ghost though.”

I raised my voice intentionally and said it while looking diagonally forward. The bob cut girl shakes her head and waves her hand around while saying sorry sorry.

Seriously, I appreciate it.

For me to be able to maintain such a mundane boring daily life, there’s no doubt that it is thanks to Ludi and Iori. Other than this place, I am already a center of attention after all.

If I walk around the academy, the first years are avoiding me, while the second and third years students are always saying [is that him?] and the people who look like they were part of the LLL are looking at me with a gaze that has a mixture of fear, envy, and jealousy.

And besides that…..

I stare at Nanami. She expressionlessly standing beside Ludi, when she noticed my gaze she gave me a wink. She is being considerate of me. While I was talking to the boys, she separated and move away from her usual position.

Then, I don’t know when they become so cozy with each other but not just Ludi, she can start a conversation with Katrina, Classrep and the other heroines from Magiero like normal.

Since she’s like that, I think that recently Nanami also has her own fan as well.

On our way here, I saw a male student who sighs in admiration while he looks at Nanami.

Certainly, Nanami is beautiful. Some even regard her silky silver hair to be more beautiful than Ludi’s. And although they are not as big as Nee-san’s, her chest is big while her body is firm and tight. She also has an excellent style and a well-shaped hip.

And most importantly her maid outfit. Due to her maid uniform, all her charm is raised even further.

It can’t be helped that their eyes will be taken away by her. And it is inevitable for them to throw her master AKA me a look of envy.

If those troublesome gazes continue into the classroom too then undoubtedly it will have an effect on me. I can ignore it to some extent but I don’t want to think about enduring it further in such a tight space. Ludi said that I will get used to it but I wonder when will I be able to achieve such enlightenment.

“Ah, Takioto-kun. Come to think of it……”

Said the bob cut girl from earlier.

“What is it?”

“Takioto-kun, the thing about you being related to Headmaster Hanamura……is it true?”

“Ah, I am curious about that too !”

I am a little surprised, I stare at the girl who joined the conversation.

Iori’s step-sister, Hijiri Yuika.

Soft curly brown hair with clear eyes. Her chest is at a moderate size and her cute demeanor is like a small animal.

But personally, the most noticeable thing about her is that perfectly crafted smile on her face.

The clerks all over the world should take her smile as their model. It is to the level that she could become an actress with it.

“Eh, Yuika?”

“Nii-san is also curious right?”

Well, yeah. Iori said and make a bitter smile.

“About Hanamura family huh. I wasn’t hiding it in particular though. Actually, my mother is a cousin of Marino-san. That makes Nee-san, not that, Hatsumi-sensei my cousin.”

Yuika who looks excited with both her eyes wide open as if to say seriously?.

“Nee-san eh?……you, you really are a young master from a good family huh.”

Orange looks at me enviously while Yuika keeps cheering [Amazing Amazing.]

After they heard my story it seems like they are thinking that I was brought up wrapped in cotton wool. But unlike Ludi, there’s nothing but turbulent in Takioto’s life. It doesn’t feel real to me at all though.

However, I don’t really have to go out of my way to explain that. I don’t have to tell them about the death of my parents nor the fact that Marino-san is now my guardian, depending on how I say this they might find out that I am living together with Ludi after all.

“Hey, Takioto. Treat us to something.”

To what bob cut said, I shake my head.

“Hey hey, just earn something yourself in the dungeon…..I can give you good advice after all.”

“Eh really? That’s great, I’m really happy.”

She must never think that I would actually give her anything since she said it so surprisingly.

“Anyway, if you tell me which direction you want to improve yourself I can even come up with a training menu for you. It will be super harsh though!”

“Yeah, I want one too!”

Yuika followed up.

She cutely smiles while hugging my arm. It is touching, it is really touching, but it is still fine even if it touches more.

“That’s fine right?”

“Well, yeah.”

Of course, it’s fine.

But at the same time, a question has been raised.

Why is she trying to approach me so hard?

Certainly, Yuika treated Takioto better than the other heroines in the game. But was she a character that approached him like this?

What is the cause? The difference between the current me and Takioto from the game……? There certainly is a lot of that.

Was it because I took first place in the school year and my relationship with the Hanamura family? If I take all of these into account then her action is explainable.

“We were already taught a lot by him though……”

“Yeah, the dungeon we dived into before was recommended by Kousuke too right?”

“Ah, how was it? I think that place is really easy to hunt in….”

“It was amazing!”

Iori happily said with sparkling eyes.

“Is, is that so.”

For him to be this happy just because I recommended him a dungeon, he is going to make me blush. I have to introduce him to an even better dungeon next time.

“Come to think of it, what are you going to do this afternoon? I want to consult a little something with you.”

Said Orange. Perhaps he is worried about his own growth? I don’t mind listening to him though.

“Aah, sorry. There’s a place I have to visit this afternoon.”

“Really, where are you going?”

“The Moon Palace (Gekkyuden).”

As expected, Orange knows about that place.

Aside from one person, everyone was astonished. She must have guessed it.

Looking at this situation…….I think it is better to lay some groundwork while I can.

“Eh, what’s the Moon Palace?”

The sole person who doesn’t understand the situation, Yuika asked while tilting her head to the side. Her behavior looked like a calculated action.

“Yuika. You know, inside this academy there are three groups that held great power. The Student Council, Public Moral Committee, and the Shikibukai.”

The person who answered her was Iori.

“These three committees, they recruit their members from the especially talented individual inside the student body.”

“Hee, so there is something like that.”

“Yeah, and you see….”

Iori sweeps his eyes over all the gathered classmates.

“The Moon Palace is those three committees headquarter. A place that normal students cannot enter.”
