Magical★Explorer - Chapter 102
The Moon Palace of the Tsukuyomi Academy is basically a place that no one can enter beside the members of the three committees, a special place exclusive for them. Some of the floors are open to the authorized students but only the members and some of the teachers are allowed to delve deeper inside the Moon Palace.
Of course, I have never seen or visited before. I used to go their many times in the game though. When they told me to visit them I am not so sure that I can go there without getting lost. That must be why they offered a guide for me.
“Thanks for waiting, Sempai.”
“Don’t worry, aren’t you arrived five minutes earlier than the appointed time yourself?. I’ve just arrived here too.….and.”
Sempai’s eyes direct toward Nanami.
That’s a natural reaction. Even I was surprised after all.
“I will absolutely accompany him.”
“That’s what she said, and I already got permission from Marino-san as well….”
As I explain to Sempai, Nanami pulls out a card with the academy crest from between her valley.
…….Why did you put it there? Moreover, when she pulled it out she acted like she intentionally does it to show off said valley to me too. You don’t really have to do that sexy anime move you know? But, it’s super erotic, I approve.
“Hahaha………there’s no problem then. Well, I will be there too so it should be fine. Well, it is a little early but shall we?”
I and Nanami follow after the smiling Sempai into the transfer magic circle.
The place could be described as a small palace.
It is a rococo style building with white and blue as its base colors equipped with a garden full of beautiful blooming flowers. At the center of the garden is a fountain with a set of white tables and chairs.
Rococo style architecture
Thanks to the fact that I experienced the Hanamura house before, I am not that taken away by the scene in front of me. If normal students were to come here then they would undoubtedly be overwhelmed.
As I was prompted by Sempai, I and Nanami stepped inside the palace. I walk down the glittering decorated hallway while letting out a small breath. Then I clench and open both of my tensed hands to let out the extra power that entered even if it is just a little bit.
We walk a little further and Sempai stopped in front of the big door with the academy crest on it.
I took a deep breath again but then I felt something hit my shoulder. When I reflectively turned around, a small pain ran through my cheek.
Seems like Nanami just poked my cheek with her finger.
“FuFun.”
Seeing the triumphant smile on her face, I make a bitter smile.
“Takioto.”
Before I can say anything to Nanami, this time I turn to look at Sempai who called out to me.
Then, I wonder why I felt the exact same thing I just felt. It seems like Sempai also poked me with her finger.
“Sempai too……..”
I can only smile at this.
Honestly speaking, I was a little nervous. Both because of the atmosphere of this place and the imagination of the thing that will happen after this. That’s why I am really grateful for their actions.
“Sorry, I ended up doing it too.”
“It can’t be helped so I will you let you off the hook this time Sempai.”
What are you saying when you just wanted to loosen my tension.
Hahaha, Sempai and I laugh together. Nanami doesn’t let out a single voice but she has a triumphant smile on her face.
[Let’s move on.]
Said Sempai, a little while later.
Once I gave her a nod, Sempai opens the door.
It seems like the main members are already assembled in the room.
At my front are the student council president, Monika Mercedes von Mobius and her vice president Franziska Edda von Gneisenau.
On my left, is the captain of the public moral committee, the saint. Stefania Scaglione.
On my right side is the Lord of Shikibukai Benito Evangelista and his senior assistant Himemiya Shion. Behind them are the crest of the student council, public moral committee, and shikibukai respectively.
They stay in their seats and stare at me.
Once Sempai took her place next to the saint Steph, president Monika stood up.
“Good afternoon, Takioto Kousuke-kun and……”
“I am the faithful maid in the employ of Kousuke Ghoshujin-sama, the supreme beautiful maid Nanami.”
“………Nanami-san.”
Nanami takes out the card with the academy crest out from her pocket. Seeing so, Lord Benito whistled.
“I see, as expected from a maid of Hanamura family.”
“My apologies. However, I am not a maid in the service of the Hanamura house. I am exclusively serving to Takioto Kousuke-sama. I have no loyalty toward an old hag like Hanamura Marino.
I was relieved that she didn’t pull that card out from her chest but the thing she said was pretty extreme.
Hearing so, Lord Benito and Shion-san laugh. Vice president Gneisenau smiles bitterly while the president and the saint look at us with interest.
“HoHo, you sure have an interesting subordinate, Are you perhaps interested in joining the three committees yourself?”
“I have no such interest. My place is at Goshujin-sama’s side. That is all my desire.”
“Is that right, I understand. Then, if I pull Takioto Kousuke to my side you will also come along, correct? Besides the individual I wanted, I can get another interesting one huh.”
Hahaha, Shion-san laughs after she finished what she has to say. Her cheerfulness is unchanging from the game.
“How about we leave the talk regarding Nanami at that?”
Sempai said to the president and she gives her consent.
“You’re right. Let me greet you again. Perhaps it is better if I say nice to meet you? I am the student council president Monika Mercedes von Mobius. You can call me Monika.”
When the president said so, her vice president, Fran adjust her glasses.
“I am vice president Franziska Edda von Gneisenau. You may call me Fran.”
“Next is us right?”
I turn my gaze to the left and met eyes with the saint. She stands up with a smile and gives me a small greeting.
“Good day, I am the captain of the public moral committee Stefania Scaglione.”
“It might be unnecessary but I am Muzumori Yukine, her vice-captain.”
After Sempai introduced herself, this time the voice comes from my right-hand side.
“Next is my turn. I am serving as the Lord (Shikibukyo) of the Shikibukai, Benito Evangelista. Nice to meet you Takioto-kun.”
“Fufu, I am the senior assistant (Shikibutaifu) of the Shikibukai, Himemiya Shion.”
“Pleasure to meet you, I am Takioto kousuke and this is Nanami.”
“Yes, nice to meet you, Takioto-kun. I can interpret the fact that you are here that you want to join the three committees, correct?”
Of course. I nod. It was written in the letter that Sempai handed to me. Should I want to join, give them a visit.
The president looked at my affirmation and nod.
“I see, I’m glad. I have heard a lot about you from Yukine. The duty of the three committees…..do I need to explain it? Of course, I don’t mean the duties like the public moral committee protect the moral or the student council take care of the planning of the academy’s event or the Shikibukai’s duty to audit us.”
“Of course……there’s no need.”
“Is that so, then I will skip the explanation. Yes, each of us at the student council, public moral committee, and the shikibukai all want you to join us. No….let me put this frankly.”
After she said so, the president takes a small breath and stare at me with a sharp gaze like a carnivorous animal chasing its prey.
“You have piqued my interest. You, The person who Yukine holds in such high regard.”
