Chapter 133: Ero Scientist

Who was the character that took care of me the most in the game?

Combining the word take care in various meanings, that character would be Sempai. Sempai hit me on the right spot in everything she does, she was also a top-ranking character because she possessed the strength of the three strongest.

If we are talking about dungeon capturing that would be Nanami by far.

Her versatility can be compared to that of Iori, the protagonist. If you raise Iori together with Nanami, not only you would be able to capture almost all the dungeons but you will also be able to obtain their treasures and items.

If it’s love life then Ludi would rank highly. I can’t imagine anyone can go against her when she can tightly hold your weak point as a man like that.

However, if we are talking about H-things then that would definitely be her.

Cutting short my capture of The Karakuri Castle, I meet up with Ludi whose class was just over and head to the research center with her.

I’m a little worried because in a certain sense she was the character that flew that way the most. Even so, this is still our first meeting. She shouldn’t do anything weird, I think.

“Hee, Gabriella-san and Yuika-chan was?”

“Yeah, they were quarreling so much before but today they seem to have some business together.”

Cutting classes, I, Yuika, and Nanami gathered the skills and items at Karakuri Castle today. We only part ways just a little earlier.

Yuika met up with Gabby and went to the student council together.

Ludi might think that they are a strange combination but to me who saw how they were inside the dungeon and know that they were quite close in the game, I already knew that this would happen.

Still.

“I am more surprised that Ludi is running an errand for that person though.”

“Apparently it was Yukine-san’s task you know. But since Yukine-san was busy, I came in her stead. And I want to try meeting her once too.”

Well, she was once a noble from the Trefle Empire after all. That woman has a special circumstance though.

“It seems the first research center is this way.”

Nanami said after she confirmed the direction with her Tsukuyomi Traveller. The building interior was bright and clean but for some reason, there’s not even a single person there. We passed through several automatic sliding doors and finally reached our destination.

There are a glasses-wearing woman and a woman with aromatherapy exude from all her over her body. But the main reason that we are here today is the dark elf in front of us, the Ero Scientist.

“Hey, I’ve been waiting. Takioto-kun and Your Highness Ludivine. I am the Third Assistant of the Shikibukai, Anemone de la Cerda. Ah, I hate my last name so just call me Anemone alright.”

Saying so, Anemone smiles.

Anemone is a dark elf woman with many hardcore fans. Her height is around that of Claris-san’s but in contrast to the slender Claris-san, her chest is massive.

“Pleasure to meet you, I am the Junior Assistant Takioto Kousuke.”

“……I’m Ludivine, I am here on the order of the vice president of the public moral committee. It has been a long time.”

“I’m Kousuke-goshujinsama’s bishoujo maid, Nanami. A pleasure to meet you.”

“Aah, I have been wanting to meet you. My juniors. I’ve heard a lot about you and Nanami-san from the rumor you know. And Your Highness Ludivine, the last time we met was probably over ten years ago but you have grown up so beautiful.”

“That’s not true, isn’t Anemone-sama a beauty yourself.”

Anemone is, of course, a beauty but I think her words fit you so well though.

“Fufu, don’t mind the honorific with me. Kouhai-kun too, you understand?”

(TLN: Sempai = Senior, Kouhai = Junior.)

“Yes. I will call you Anemone-san then. Still, there’s a lot of members here today isn’t it.”

I look at the glasses woman behind me and the pink-haired teacher who turn away from me and tried to hide her face behind a bag of potato chips.

“Good afternoon, Takioto-kun, Ludivine-sama, Nanami-san.”

Said vice president Fran while adjusting her glasses.

“………Good afternoon.”

For some reason, Luigia-sensei won’t meet my eyes.

Ero Scientist and Luigia-sensei. Such an anxiety-inducing duo. Let’s pretend not to see her. Well, that’s impossible huh.

“Vice president Fran, what are you doing here?”

“Yes, I came here today to retrieve the item that the student council requested. Third Assistant Anemone can make a lot of splendid inventions you know. We were given some strange products from time to time though.”

For the ladies and gentlemen (Eroge players) those strange products are more desirable for them though. Rather, there were those who put in a request for exactly such products.

“What strange products? They are all wonderful stuff aren’t they. By the way, Luigia-sensei is here for a certain matter you know.”

“Uwaaa…………”

Somehow, I am getting nothing but bad vibes from this. Since Ludi knows about our relationship, she looks at me and Nanami who are having an unpleasant expression on our faces with a bitter smile. The smiling Anemone must also know about the relationship between me and Luigia–sensei as well. Only vice president Fran who doesn’t know the circumstances tilted her head in confusion.

Luigia-sensei hurriedly rushed to Anemon with an expression like she was saying [Mou]. Looking at the tall Anemone and the small Luigia-sensei, I wonder who is the teacher here.

“Now then, you said that you have a business with me right?”

She said as she stares at Ludi. Ludi nodded and handed her a storage bag from me.

“This is from the public morals committee.”

“Ah, did it arrive? Great, with this, now I can create that thing. Thank you!”

“By the way, what are you planning to make?”

Ludi probably asked out of her curiosity without thinking too deeply about it.

“Well, Fufu. This you see, is the material you need to create an item that can produce tentacles on impact. Umu, it’s so wonderful just imagining about it.”

………………………

She dropped a big one so suddenly. What should I do about this situation? Why are you pulling out the big gun from the very beginning? It hasn’t even been ten minutes since we met Anemone right?

At least go to one from zero, please don’t say something that goes from zero and immediately to a hundred, good grief. See, Ludi is already speechless you know. Vice president Fran and Luigia-sensei just look on because they are already used to it though.

“Hey, Kousuke. Have I been carrying a tentacle material all this time…….?”

Ludi seems to receive a big shock. I think Sempai probably doesn’t know the content too. If she knows she would definitely never entrust it to anyone else.

Still, tentacles huh. I am incredibly worried but let’s not ask her any more about that. Everyone beside me has a dangerous look in their eyes after all. But I have to consider buying one when it’s completed huh.

“How about it, you want one?”

Madly so. However when I gave up and want to end the topic, [Won’t you have a chat with me about it?], she said that and smile at me.

Can you please not direct such a beautiful smile at me?

“This is a wonderful item, it’s really perfect for Goshujin-sama.”

I would like to question her for about an hour on the topic of how such an item is perfect for me.

“…….Don’t be stupid, let’s continue our talk.”

But I don’t deny that I want one though. Hell, I would even help with its development.

“So, what is your business with me Kouhai-kun?”

“Ah, that’s right.”

The impact was so strong that I almost forgot the reason I came here.

“Um, I have something that I really want you to make.”

“Hou, you want me to make something for you, huh?”

There were several research centers in Magiex that you can develop items in. The fastest way to access them was to join the three committees and have the characters you met there develop items in the research center. This is one of the possible ways to get some of the strongest weapons.

You can also pay her and the other professors to have them make it for you as well. This time the item I want is one of such items.

“I want items that can capture both angels and demons. A lot of them at that.”

When I said that, Nanami keep poking my body. She is holding her cheek with one hand while shyly shaking her head around.

“Geez, even if you don’t use something like that…..I am always ready you know?”

No, what are you imagining!? It’s not something I would use on you alright? Rather, you will make me imagine it too so stop it already, it’s embarrassing.

“I see, so you have such an intention huh…….I am getting motivated!”

“I’m getting stared at with super cold eyes right now so please stop it already, I’m just going to normally use it in the dungeon okay?

”Dungeon play you say……..”

“Dungeon play is it Goshujin-sama……you just gain a 100 billion points of my respect.”

Stop, please don’t mutter those weird things anymore.! Their eyes are piercing me. The one from the vice president is especially bad. Rather, you added too many points!

“Well, let set the joke aside, I have one condition in making it.”

“A condition?”

“That’s right. It is to build something else than the one I will be making this time you see. I want you to fetch it for me. Ah, if Kouhai-kun is in a hurry then I will give you the priority. If it’s someone who can enter the Shikibukai then I can have that much trust in you.”

“Thank you very much. Is it okay to prioritize my items over the others?”

“Yeah, then let’s have a serious talk shall we. Can you tell me more about what you are going to use it for? And I would need battle magic stones and a little something to create it you see…..”

Ah, that huh. I give her a nod.

“I’ve already prepared the [cottons] from the Ittan-Momen and I also have several battle magic stones at the ready as well.”

“…….Hou.”

Of course, I went into that dungeon to get ninja skills to strengthen myself but I was also farming those [cottons].

Yes, it was to hand them over to her at this moment.

I noticed that Anemone’s eyes turned sharp which I also know that it means she has become interested.

Seeing her like that, Luigia-sensei and vice president Fran look at me with a different eye than before.

“Then let’s talk about the spec right away. Fran, Sensei. If you already finished your business then please leave.”

“Ah, I have something to talk about with Sensei later so please wait for a little.”

I have to ask her what she was doing here. For the time being, let’s hope that she isn’t here to ask for some weird machine again.

Hearing me say that, Anemone laughed.

“Ah, Kouhai-kun. You don’t have to worry about Sensei you know.”

“…..? What do you mean?”

“Well, she is here to find out more about your constitution after all.”

“Se, Sensei?”

Sensei shyly laugh.

“Actually…….I was worried about you after all. But as expected I still don’t clearly understand it so…..I was thinking that I shouldn’t talk to you about it yet you see.”

“Se, Sensei……”

“You have found yourself a good teacher huh, Kouhai-kun.”

“Really, you are right.”

I’m so happy. To think that she was researching it for me.

“Oh”

Exclaimed Anemone while clapping her hands.

“That’s right, that’s right. Sometimes she came to get some sweets too you know. She took a lot of them so I was a little troubled you see. It seems like she always shorts on her pocket money too.”

Luigia-sensei looks down while her face turned bright red.
