Chapter 127 (2/2)

Of course, that would be quite the undertaking for any commoner.

“There’s a very small chance of this happening. A commoner must prove that they’re qualified to have such a prestigious position. To do this, they must receive the acceptance of several noble families. Any commoner that wishes to travel this path will usually try to work closely with noble families for several years before even speaking of their lofty ambitions. This is why it’s very rare for there to be someone that will take over a vacant house that is not a known commodity amongst the nobility.”

Based off his tone, Allen seems to belong to this group of people.

“Even so, I still believe that even having a small chance of joining the nobility is better than no chance at all.”

“I agree.”

There was a distant look in Allen’s eyes.

The road he’s set himself on isn’t an easy one.

I’m sure it’s caused him great frustration.

Maybe this is the reason he’s felt the need to have two or even three girls service him at a time.

“Tanaksan, are you a nobleman?”

“No, I’m just a commoner. I’m much better suited to the life of a commoner than that of a nobleman.”

“Is that so? That’s surprising given everything you’ve accomplished since we’ve met.”

“No, it’s definitely the truth. Even in the organization I belonged to before meeting you I was the lowest ranking member.”

“If so, isn’t this your opportunity to succeed?”

Allen had dropped his usual ikemen persona and now seemed generally concerned about my future.

Maybe I misjudged him.

He could’ve easily jumped on this opportunity to belittle me for my past failures, but, instead, he’s honestly trying to get me to improve my life.

He actually appears to be a good person. I can’t even bring myself to hate him anymore.

“Thank you, Allen. But I’m not really interested in that right now. I’ll put all of my efforts into supporting your own dream.”

“..”

I could see the ikemen’s shoulders began to tremble.

“E-Excuse me. I’m not deserving of such kindness.”

“No, Allen-san, this is thanks for teaching me all of this.”

“As always, honestlythank you so much.”

I still can’t get over the thought of Sophichan and Allen alone in my dorm. The place where I go to rest after a tiring day. I don’t think I’d be able to stay there if they actually did anything. I’d drop out of school, run to Edita Sensei’s house and beg her to have sex with me.

I’d have to do something to protect my fragile psyche after such a terrible event.

This pathetic virgin’s dream of a beautiful romance would be shattered in an instant.

In the first place, have they actually done it? Did he break through Sophia’s hymen? When I return home is there going to be a red stain on the living room sofa? If so, I’d lock myself away inside my room for half a year.

The fact that there’s no way for me to be sure is so painful.

I’ll need to find out when I return home.

“Thank you for everything you told me and so much more.”

“N-No, I’m sorry for souring the mood. Is there anything else you’d like to ask me about? As long as it’s something I know about, I’ll answer.”

“I think if I try to learn anymore my head might explode.”

“If you’re fine with it, Tanaksan, I’d be more than happy to answer any of your questions once we return to the capital.”

“Really? That would be a great help.”

“No, it’s really no problem for me.”

Allen had become Allen Sensei and I was now enrolled in his class, Introduction to the Penny Empire Caste System. I think that by learning from him and reading through Edita Sensei’s books, I can survive in this world without attending many classes at the school.

What a generous ikemen.

Seriously, his personality is the best.

If the lower portion of his body had any self-respect, we would probably have been friends from the start.

“Anyway, it’s about time, so.”

“Oh, I’m sorry to have kept you here for so long.”

“I don’t mind.”

“Well, thank you very much for your informative lecture.”

“I’m very happy to be of use to you.”

“Of course.”

I waved to Allen as he walked away into the heart of the camp.

He eventually disappeared completely as he entered one of the few wooden huts that had been set up.

He showed no indication of returning.

I wonder what he’s doing.
