Friend
We part ways with Aristes
From there, we went straight on the main street
Then a big gate came into view
There is also a pillar that says International Academy's Dormitory Building.
"It would be nice if there was someone at the reception desk."
"It was said that there are students living here even during this time, so I assume there is a caretaker."
―――
"Yes, I've confirmed your arrival."
When I showed my student ID, the manager let me into the dormitory easily.
Although she is called the manager, she is a young woman in her 20s who is acting as a substitute during school holidays.
The original manager is said to be a 70-year-old man.
"If you go down this hallway, you'll find the living room. From there, you'll find the dining room, boys' dormitory, and girls' dormitory."
"What time is meal time?"
"Meals can be eaten at any time, but we recommend eating at a time when the large clocks in the living room and dining room are pointing directly below and above.''
"Reason?"
"If you order at a different time, there will be a wait time because they will start cooking from there. If it is late at night, the food may be pre-prepared and heated."
"I understand. Thank you for your hard work."
"Yes, have a good student life."
"T-thank you very much!"
Mileina, who couldn't get into the conversation between me and the acting manager, finally spoke up.
"Then we'll say goodbye here. Do you know your room?"
"Yes, there is a floor plan, so it's okay."
"That’s right, if it’s a wall-mounted floor plan, you won’t have to turn it around."
I have a little time until dinner time.
Let's check the men's dormitory.
―――
And so I ascended to a floor corresponding to my own grade
When I go out from the stairs to the hallway
"Hey, this is an area where only people over the age of 15 can enter."
Five unknown men stopped me.
"I'm 15 years old, there's no problem, and my room is over there."
"What? Are you a transfer student at this time?"
"That's right. You got a problem with that?"
"We, the Lambda Family, are in charge of this floor. Please understand that and act accordingly."
"I see, good luck."
When I say that and try to pass, another man blocks my path.
"You're in the way, though?"
"Isn’t it decided that a toll is required?"
Ah, something like that
"How much?"
"The first time is 3 silver coins."
Isn't 3 silver coins an amount that even adults would hesitate to pay?
Are you sane as a student?
"Is there anyone who could pay for that?"
"There are about five people."
"What about the others?"
"It's a tab. If you can't pay it within 5 days, 1 silver will be added."
......When I was walking around the empire with sensei, we came across a town that was infested with brutal debt collectors.
Like 100 gold coins increasing to 110 gold coins in 10 days.
Sensei says, [It is not funny and is against the law].
The next morning, the debt collectors disappeared from the town. every single person left
So what I want to do right now
"Agi!"
“Higi!”
“Ogya!”
I dislocated the shoulder bones of three of the five people blocking the hallway.
"Don’t do anything stupid and work hard on your studies."
"Y-you!"
"I'll kill you!"
The remaining two people attacked me.
I dodged the first person's fist and hit his chin as a counter
"……Huh?"
He fell to his knees on the spot, not seeming to understand what had happened.
Apparently, it was shallow and not enough to take away consciousness. I still have a long way to go.
The last person saw the counter and immediately ran away.
"Hey! Next time, don't say I'll kill you so easily, okay?"
These kind of people don't understand the weight of words.
The more people use strong words to intimidate others, the weaker they appear when looked at calmly.
―――
I parted ways with Ask-san in the living room and went into the back of the girls' dormitory.
Somehow he seemed like an adult.
Polite and bright, without losing his composure
Someone who has no hesitation in helping people like me.
"I wish I could be friends with people like that..."
While muttering that
"You there!"
"Hyain!"
Suddenly I hear a voice from behind me and a strange voice comes out.
"This is the first time I've seen your face. Under 14 years of age are not allowed on this floor!"
"Ah, y-yes! I'm 15 years old!"
"Is that so? Oh, I'm sorry, but are you the girl who will be transferring in fall?"
"Y-yes, Mileina..."
"What's wrong?"
"Well, my last name is long."
"Then just give the abbreviated one. It's important to give your name when you meet someone for the first time."
"Yes, then... I'm Mileina Deshinai."
"I am Eugenia no Sordalene."
Everyone in the village
It was my first time, but I quickly made friends.
