Dorm Life 2

Several days have passed since the attack on Ester-chan.

Every day since then I have been standing guard all night and sleeping through the day. My day and night life have been completely flipped. Ill only occasionally talk with Sophia-chan and Ester-chan at night before they go to bed.

I wonder why Im trying so hard.

Well, a promise is a promise. I should do my best to protect her.

Im a proud lolicon. I wont go back on my word.

For the time being, I want to keep going until we can catch the person behind that attack.

It seems that Ester-chan is still pretty distressed about the attack against her. If something similar were to happen to her, and she diedjust thinking about it causes my mind to become restless. Even if she is a non-virgin, shes still a classmate of mine. Weve also formed a relationship outside of school. Though, it really wont do me any good to worry about this.

And so, Im eating dinner with Sophia-chan again.

Im sorry but Ill be standing guard again tonight.

Ah, yes.

I had become used to eating two meals a day with Sophia-chan.

The quality of our conversations has also improved over the last few days.

U-umm, by the way, Tanaka-san.

Yes, what is it?

How does the soup taste today?

.

Moreover, Sophia-chan is the one starting the conversation. What a drastic change in behaviour. The service this maid provides is too good. Ill fall in love with her again if this keeps up.

Tanaka-san?

Yes, its very delicious. It tastes amazing.

Really?

Yep, it really does.

.

Is something wrong?

no, umm, is it a bit saltier than usual.

Salty? No, I think it has a very rich flavour.

Is this possible?

Can I actually finish Sophia-chans route?

Really? Then, I-I-Ill get a replacement dish right away!

Eh?

Im sorry. Ill get a new dish right away. Please, wait just a moment.

No, I think its fine as it is.

Saying this, she jumped up and ran out of the room pushing the service cart. Sophia-chan looked like a maid on a mission. Its possible that her heart is finally starting to warm up to me now that weve been living together for some time.

Im not even sure how far Ive progressed down her route at this point.

Anyway, I do feel a pretty significant sense of satisfaction.

This dorm life isnt so bad.

There are many young and pretty girls all around the dormitory, I get to eat delicious food every day, and all of the housework is done by my own personal maid. The quality of life here is significantly better than when I was living in Edita Senseis house.

But Ive only ever attended my lessons once.

.

Its likely that I wont be able to remain in the dormitory if this keeps up.

Its probably starting to look bad.

Still, I dont want to just give up on my school life. Maybe theres an opportunity for me to become a teacher. Or some kind of post graduate program. I should check with the noble mage when I get a chance.

Well, I wonder whats taking her so long? Ive been waiting for the maid that I love to return to my room. I want us to be able to eat together, but if she&r

squo;s taking this long the food is likely to get cold.

Maybe theres a long line in the kitchen?

I waited for a little while longer.

But she still hasnt returned.

I think I should go see if I can find her.

I was starting to get worried about her.

Considering what happened to Ester-chan.

If they decided to change their target.

I dont even want to think about that.

I left my room and had been walking through the dormitory for some time now.

I found the kitchen on the first floor along with a dining room. It seems I could eat here if Id like. Its dinner time now and there are many people going in and out of the dining room. The majority are students in uniform.

.

I glanced inside from the entrance of the dining room.

Even though theyre wearing the same uniforms as the students from the main school building, the accessories theyre wearing are all polished and their shoes are shiny. This dormitory truly is for the most high-class students.

There are even teachers happily talking with their students as they eat their meals.

And of course, because this is a student dormitory, theyre almost all teenagers. Although, there are very few that seem to be in their twenties. Even the maids that are attending to the students seem extremely young. It seems that every student here is young and pretty.

The sight of Sophia-chan with the meal cart came into view.

Ah.

She was in the middle of a large crowd in the dining room.

There seems to be something interesting going on. Most of the people in the crowd are male students. I cant tell whats happening because my view is blocked by their backs, but there is definitely something interesting happening in the centre of the crowd.

.

I was very intrigued.

Occasionally, I would hear a voice from the crowd saying, Ooohh.

ju-just a little peek.

I muttered to myself as I entered the dining room.

After entering, I headed straight towards the large crowd of male students.

I stood on my toes as I tried to see over the shoulders of all of the gathered students.

p-please, forgive me.

Sophia-chan, with teary eyes, was kneeling on the table in the centre of the crowd.

Shes holding up both sides of her skirt so her underwear is in clear view.

Her panties are white.

Theyre pure white.

Theres a yellow spot slowly growing in the centre.

Its yellow, your highness.

Hey, take those off. That filthy underwear.

One of the students surrounding Sophia-chan poked her chest with the wand he was holding. Since her maid outfit exposed the top of her chest, the way he was poking it was likely to cause her nipples to pop out.

There is also another maid standing next to the male students watching this scene. Im guessing shes his personal maid. Shes probably a little older than Sophia-chan; shes maybe in her early twenties.

Please, s-stop this.

I have to teach you how to behave like a proper maid.

Sophia-chan was about to break out into tears.

The male student looked at Sophia-chan with an indecent smile.

I wasnt expecting to see something like this here. If possible, Id like to get a nice hot cup of tea and enjoy this until the end. From pure love to humiliation play, Im a man with diverse tastes.

Still, I cant just stand by and watch if the leading actress is Sophia-chan. Beside the table she was on, sat the service cart carrying the delicious looking meal she was bringing me.

.

I got choked up at the sight of this.

A man is weak to something like this.

I love you my cute Sophia-chan.

Excuse me for a moment. Can you all stop this now?

I forcibly pushed my way through the crowd until I was standing next to the table Sophia-chan was kneeling on.

T-Tanaka-san!

After taking a quick look at Sophia-chans chest, thighs, butt, and panties I turned to the male student that poked her with his wand.

who are you?

That girls roommate.

Ah, so another servant.

By the way, Im now wearing casual clothing.

Something that would be called traveler clothes in this world.

Judging by my appearance I probably look like an older teacher thats getting close to retirement. But now Im getting involved with these nobles.
