Atelier Tanaka

Book 2: Chapter 17 (4)

Alchemist Edita 1

Some time had passed since I left Edita Senseis house. I had been walking around town for a while now.

Ah, back to the homeless life for me.

For now, I need to find some place to live. I can either find a new home here or maybe even consider moving to a new city. Either way, Ill need to stay in an inn for now.

However, there was one thing I needed to do before that.

.Ah, here it is.

The place I arrived at was a bustling town square. There was a large fountain in the centre of the plaza and I could see crowds of people happily chatting to one another.

Most of the members of the crowd are female. The sun is just about to set and many of them are carrying shopping bags in their hands. I wonder if theyre buying stuff to make for dinner.

I found my target at this place.

Speaking of my target, of course, it is the informative little girl.

Oh~! We meet again~!

She also noticed me and ran up to me. Every time weve met before, its been me running up to her. Seeing her run up to me caused me to fall in love for a few seconds.

Im a little happy.

No.

Im seriously happy.

Im so happy that I can feel tears welling up in my eyes.

Im actually looking for a place to stay temporarily. Is there any good inns you know of around here?

An inn? Why?

Due to various circumstances, Ive lost my house.

As a Japanese man, thats difficult for me to say, but it is the truth.

The girl just tilted her head to the side after hearing my response.

Huh?

Eh?

Ive heard that every magic school has a dormitory.

Why is she telling me this?

I certainly remember hearing something like that.

Oji-san, couldnt you go to the school?

I need some place to live.

Cant you live there?

Indeed.

This young girl is showing an innocent smile while speaking to me.

I cant help but want to give her some money.

Rather, that was one of the main reasons I wanted to find her.

Asking about the inn wasnt really necessary.

Thank you.

I reached into my leather bag and grabbed some coins. I normally give her some copper coins, but this time I took out two gold coins. She was the one that gave me the idea of killing the dragon. She deserves at least this much.

Hm? Theyre shinier today.

Do you like how shiny it is? Give it to your mother as a gift.

Alright!

This innocent young girl ran through the streets after saying this.

She looked back at me a few times and would wave as she ran through the street. Her adorable smile could end any conflict in the world.

Yes, it truly is the greatest.

Based on the current market growth Id say her smile is easily worth 10 gold coins.

I actually forgot about losing my home for a moment there.

..Alright, Ill go to school.

The school is quite some ways from here.

Im not sure if theres a curfew in this town, so Ill need to hurry over there.

By the time I arrived at the school, it was already dark.

I could see a maid wandering around the grounds and I decided to talk with her. At first, she looked annoyed, but after explaining to her that I was a student, she quickly offered me assistance.

The dorm was positioned some ways away from the main school buildings. There was a large courtyard in front of a ten story stone building. The building was large enough to house all of the students and have a dining area and other amenities.

From what I can tell, the dormitories are first-class. Also, unlike other dormitories, this one doesnt seem to separate men from women.

As I was walking through the entrance hall into one of the corridors, I thought about why they wouldnt separate the students based on gender. This building is state-of-the-art for this world. If the people of this world are capable of making this, why wouldnt they make two for men and women? Well, the first thought that came to my mind was that it would cost a large amount of money.

Ill be thankful if Im put in the same room as a cute girl.

My desire to survive will become even stronger.

I walked through several corridors, up some stairs, and then down some more, before arriving at my corner room. The entrance to the room was a large, ornately carved wooden door.

Here is your room.

The maid that had guided me so far, took a key out from somewhere around her chest.

The interior of the room reminded me of a billion yen room you might find in a large city.

Inside the room, there was a long, wide corridor that led some ways into the room. There were several doors on either side of the corridor. I wonder if these are all bathrooms and extra bedrooms.

At the end of the corridor, I can see something that resembles a living room. In addition to that, on the opposite wall of the living room, I can see another large door that must have even more behind it.

It seems that this room has already been furnished. In the living room, I can see a sofa and table. For a homeless man like me with no possessions, this is amazing.

Please, enter.

Ah, t-thank you.

The maid urges me to enter the room. I wiped off the stupid look on my face and walked in.

I entered through the door, walked down the long corridor, and arrived in the living room. The room is pretty spacious and Id guess its about 20 meters squared.

This level of elegance is something Id expect them to reserve for high ranking officials of a foreign government. From what I can tell, everything in this room is of the highest quality. If you were to sell all of the items off one of the shelves in this room, you could probably live comfortably for the rest of your life.

This room may be a little small, but hopefully it is good enough for you.

No, I think Ill be fine.

Was she expecting me to complain? I feel like a room like this would be given to only the richest people. Edita Senseis house cant even compare to this place. If theres more to this place behind that door, I could even remodel this entryway into an atelier.

This is the key to the room.

Ah, thank you.

The key has a very unique design.

Its in the shape of a dragon.

This made me think about Christina and I felt a bit complicated.

Well, she reminds me of a goblin more than a dragon.

I would like to introduce you to the maid in charge of this room, but I am very busy right now. Im sorry, but can you please wait a while?

Eh?

Each room has a maid assigned to it. The maids room is the one nearest the entrance. Im sorry shes not out here to help you already. if she causes you any difficulties, please contact the administration office.

O-Oh, sure.

The maid started to run off.

More importantly, didnt she just raise a flag. The kind of flag that ends with me cumming inside my own personal maid.

I want to impregnate her.

Of course, Id also take responsibility for the child.

Wait a moment.

The maid suddenly stopped and turned to face me.

She left the living room, walked down the corridor and stopped in front of one of the doors in the hallway. She entered the room and from inside I could hear the yell of a young woman. It seems that someone was actually in there.

A little bit later, she came out of the room dragging a woman dressed in a maid outfit behind her.

I know that girl.

Eh?

I couldnt help myself and let my voice slip.

And the girl seemed to be pleading with the maid that I didnt know the name of.

.Umm, do I have to.

Sophia-san!

And the unknown maid responded with a yell.

Sophia then turned to speak to me.

Ah, eh, umm. You can call me Sophia

She looked like she was about to cry as she introduced herself.

She was wearing a maid outfit that seemed to emphasize her already huge breasts. In addition to that, her skirt was short enough to see her thighs. I dont think I can hold back, Sophia-chan. What a dirty maid you are.

Why is she a maid here?

That outfit is so erotic.

She probably wont answer me, but I still need to ask her.

Uh, why is Sophia-san a maid here?

Fahren-sama forced me to work here.

The culprit was quickly identified.

I wanted to bring her along on the dragon extermination quest to impress her with my own achievements. My love for Sophia-chan is still strong, but the other maid is very cute and erotic in that maid outfit. I want to hug her right now.

I see. So, youll be my maid here.

It seems that the maid that guided me to the room didnt know that Sophia-chan and I knew each other. She looked a little surprised as she watched the conversation between Sophia-chan and I. Maybe after staying here for a while Ill become accustomed to seeing maids.

Do you two know each other?

Eh, well.

If thats the case, will you please excuse me? Im sure she can tell you everything you need to know. Im sorry if I seem like Im in a rush. Please, enjoy yourself.

The maid turned on her heel quickly and left the room. As the door closed I could hear her footsteps fading away down the corridor. She certainly is a busy person.

It was now just me and Sophia in the room.

After a while, I could hear a faint voice come from her direction.

U-umm..

Ah, yes. What is it?

That person told me to give you this.

Sophia-chan took out something that looked like a small bell.

Similar to the key, this bell was engraved with a dragon. If this were to be sold at an antique store, it could easily go for 100,000 yen. It feels wrong for me to even touch it.

..This is?

Its something like a buzzer.

I think I get what she means.

It seems to call me if Tanaka-san rings it.

Eh..

When you ring that bell, my collar will tighten a little. It doesnt hurt that much, but it is rather uncomfortable when it happens while Im eating.

Sophia-chan is talking while rubbing the collar around her neck.

A maid with a collar is the best.

I guess this really is true. Sophia-chan is now my property. My personal maid, while I live here, is Sophia-chan. Even though my LUC is incredibly low, Im still able to experience such an amazing thing. I wonder if Im really allowed to be this happy.

This is the happiest moment of my life.

So, Tanaka-san was a noble.

Sophia-chan muttered to herself. Her eyes were completely empty and she looked like she had given up.

I love her like this. I love her.

No, no, no its not like that. Im just a commoner.

Then, why are you going to this school.

This is also due to Fahrens influence. Hes completely obsessed with magic and got me into this school because of his interest in my magic.

..Is that so.

Sophia-chans completely dead eyes are also cute.

Energetic Sophia-chan is nice but seeing her completely give up also suits her.

Why does such a defeated expression suit her so well?

Though she has such high LUC.

Lets take the rest of the day off. After all, it is already night.

..Yes.

Sophia-chan slowly walked back to her room.

My first day in the dorm passed like this.
