Book 3: Chapter 4 (4)

Baronage

Edita Sensei guided me to the second-floor living room. I sat down on the sofa and waited for Sensei to return with tea. She came back carrying a tray with two cups and a teapot on it and sat them down on the table before taking a seat in the chair across from me.

She was wearing the same robe as always.

Her long legs that stretched out from the edge of her robe looked so smooth and sexy.

“I really am sorry for disturbing your sleep.”

“So, what are you doing here? There’s no way you came here for no reason.”

Edita Sensei crossed her legs.

I could see all the way up her thigh. Her most important place was covered in darkness, but this didn’t stop me from getting an erection immediately. There’s a chance she’s not wearing any. She usually does, but maybe she’s not today.

It’s possible.

“….”

Thanks to this, I was also forced to cross my legs in a desperate attempt to hide my son.

“…what’s wrong?”

“N-Nothing. I really didn’t have any reason for coming here….”

The only thing I want to do now is worship her thighs. I want to lick them. My heart is still hurting from Sophia, so it’s creating an even stronger desire to lick them.

I need to come up with something to talk about.

Something, something…. There’s nothing.

A-Ah, there’s that.

“Ah, right, there actually was something I wanted to ask you, Edita-san.”

“…then just ask me already.”

“Have you heard about the Academic Conference, Edita-san? It seems to be an event held by the school that involves advanced types of magic.”

“Is that it? The Royal Academy holds that every year around this time.”

“Yeah, that’s probably true.”

“What about it?”

“If you don’t mind, would you like to come with me? I’ve been given VIP seats and was told I could bring guests.”

The noble mage did say I could invite people. She’s an excellent alchemist, so I’m sure the noble mage won’t have a problem with her coming. When we cured the Princess, her name was also given as someone that helped make the potion. I’m sure she’ll be welcomed by everyone.

“…oi, are you serious?”

Sensei sat straight up in her chair as she asked me this.

She looked serious.

I was taken aback by her sudden change in attitude.

“Yes, I was invited to attend and was told I could bring guests. So, if you don’t mind, would you like to go –”

“I’ll go! I’ll definitely go!”

So fast.

“Are you that interested in it?”

“Of course I am! The Academic Conference is the peak of all gatherings of that kind! It’s even prestigious enough to draw the brilliant minds that reside within the Academic City!”

“I-I see.”

It seems that the Deputy Director wasn’t exaggerating.

“I’m sorry for it being so sudden but you’d need to be up early tomorrow morning at my dorm. A guide will be meeting us there.”

“Of course! I’ll be there bright and early!”

She seemed really eager.

It’s too bad the noble mage will be with us.

“But, i-is it really okay? The conditions for taking part in the Academic Conference are very strict. If you’re not a nobleman or weren’t lucky enough to have your name drawn from a lottery, you’d never get the chance to participate.”

“R-Really?”

“Don’t tell me you didn’t know.”

“Yeah, well, this is my first time attending….”

“…you’re as clueless as always…. I don’t know why I’d expect anything else from you….”

“I’m sorry for being so ignorant, but, in my defence, it hasn’t been that long since I entered the academy….”

“Still, it’s thanks to you that I’ll be able to participate this year. I really will, right? You can’t take it back, okay?”

“It’s a promise. You don’t need to worry.”

I know I can count on the noble mage.

We’ll have no problem getting into the conference.

“I see. That’s good~”

Edita Sensei stared off into space. An ecstatic look spread across her face. I was happy that I got to see this expression.

The noble mage unintentionally did something wonderful for me. I should keep this in mind when I help him with his relationship with Christina.

“If you don’t mind, would you like to stay the night at my place?”

“Eh?”

“It’s quite some distance from here to my door. Even if you took a carriage, you’d have to get up before the sun….”

“I’ll stay the night!”

Another immediate response.

She really must be excited about the conference. Is it really that interesting? I don’t know, but I guess I’ll find out tomorrow. Anyway, thanks to the conference, I’ll get to spend the night in the same place as my blonde loli sensei.

“Then, let’s do that.”

I have a spare room for guests. There’s my own room, the living room, Sophia’s room, and an empty guest room. Sophia cleans each room every day, so even if nobody has stayed in it for a while, it should be clean.

“R-Right. I’m sure it will be fine.”

“Well, it may be a little cramped compared to your atelier.”

“Is that supposed to be sarcasm?”

“No, I’m being serious. I’m just sure someone like you is used to having a lot of space to yourself. Ah, don’t worry about that either. My roommate is a girl so we won’t be alone.”

“…you live with a woman?”

“It depends on how you say it, but we are living in the same place.”

Ah, I’m starting to feel sad again after thinking about Sophia-chan.

Even though I had forgotten thanks to Edita Sensei’s thick thighs.

“Does that mean you’re married?”

“Not even close. That would be like something out of a fairy tale.”

Marriage is far from where we’re at.

I’m beginning to doubt that will ever happen.

“T-Then you’re not? Y-You know married. I assumed given your age and the fact that you’re human.”

Don’t latch on to something that causes me such pain you loli elf.

There’s no chance I’d be married with this face.

I could meet a billion women and never find one willing to marry me.

“There are always people that haven’t married even if they want to.”

“…is that so?”

All right, time for the sexual harassment to begin.

It’s something I read in one of Edita Sensei’s books.

“You’ve never been married, Edita-san? Based on one of the books I read, it seemed that you had plenty of experience with men.”

In her book [My Ex-Boyfriend and Me], Edita Sensei created many alchemic items to use on her ex-boyfriend that had turned into a stalker.

Ultimately, she came up with something that turned her ex into a woman. The ending of the book said her ex was now walking the streets of Kalis working as a popular sex worker.

I wanted to hear more about this experience from Edita Sensei herself. I especially wanted to know what type of person her ex-boyfriend was.

I wanted to know what type of man Edita Sensei is interested in.

“That’s right. W-Well, I’d be lying if I said I don’t have a good amount of experience.”

“As expected of Edita-san.”

“But I’d never be satisfied with an ordinary man!”

“I-I see….”

Damn, she turned me down before I could even say anything.

I feel like my heart can’t take much more damage.

“What’s wrong? Do you want to know more? About what kind of exceptional man could satisfy me.”

“…I’m sorry, I won’t ask.”

“Eh?”

“For someone that’s single like me, it’s hard to listen to you talk about your past experience with men.”

I looked down at the ground.

Edita Sensei tilted her head and asked,

“Aren’t most human men attracted to experienced women? I remember seeing a stage play in town where the men all demanded an experienced woman.”

“Well, I’d say it depends on the person. If this play was performed in this large city, I’d guess they’d tailor the script to match the ideals of most men that live here.”

“…really?”

“Y-Yeah, probably….”

“I see. Then, o-oi, what about you? What type of woman do you like?”

“Eh? Me?”

“Yeah.”

“Umm, well….”

There’s really no reason for me to hesitate.

“If anything, no offence, but I prefer someone inexperienced….”

Actually, someone with no experience at all. For me, it doesn’t matter if a girl has been with one guy or a thousand. If I’m not the first, I hate it.

I held back on my more vulgar thoughts and conveyed my honest opinion to her.

“….”

Now that I think about it, this is the first time I’ve ever talked about sex with someone of the opposite sex.

I felt defeated moments ago, but now I feel a strange sense of fulfillment in my chest.

This must be how riajuus feel all the time.

“I-Is that really how you feel?”

“Like I said, it depends on the person. That play you saw may be how most men feel, but this is how I feel.”

“I see….”

“Is it possible the play you saw was intended for women?”

“There were a lot of women in the audience…. That could be the case.”

“I’m sure it must be.”

“….”

Edita Sensei looked offended.

Is there a big difference between elven culture and human culture? Or is it that Edita Sensei was extremely isolated thanks to her alchemy studies?

She always seemed like an intelligent and experienced woman, but when I take her away from alchemy, she’s a much more innocent girl than I imagined.

Regardless of the reason, I need to say something.

I don’t want Edita Sensei to hate me.

“Well, all of this is coming from someone with no experience with women….”

“…eh?”

“I’m ashamed to admit it, but, despite my age, I don’t have any experience with women.”

I confessed to the one thing I never wanted to admit.

Please, do something. I’d even be okay with her laughing at me.

Please, bless me with the ridicule and mockery of a blonde loli.

“Eh? You don’t have…any experience? At your age….”

“…y-yeah, well….”

Don’t repeat it.

It’s already embarrassing enough.

“Is that…true? Is that really true? You’re a virgin?”

“Umm, I don’t like how you say it so bluntly, but it’s true….”

“….”

Is she disappointed? Probably.

I once took part in machicon in Ikebukuro and there was a section in the entry sheet that required you to write down your relationship history. I had to leave it blank….  This combined with me being over the age of thirty, led to all of the women I was paired with staring at me with the same incredulous look. (TN: Machicon is a large-scale matchmaking event)

Some of the women said, nearly word for word, what Edita Sensei just said to me. But, it’s somewhat pleasant hearing it from a blonde loli.

I’m actually really pleased.

It’s a welcome type of reverse sexual harassment.

Her sexual harassment will give me the strength to keep living.

“I see, that’s how it is….”

“Y-Yeah, that’s how it is.”

However, I don’t want Edita Sensei to distance herself from me now that she knows.

I think I might cry if she told me she no longer wanted to stay at my place. What should I do? Coming out may have been a bad idea. Oh god, I’m so nervous. I feel more anxious than that time the dark elf cut my head off.

I’m scared.

I’m so scared.

“Then, sorry, I shouldn’t have brought this up….”

“Should we go? To your dorm that is.”

“Eh? R-Right now?”

Oi, what’s with this elf changing the topic so casually?

I need a second to recover the damage my virgin mind has suffered.

She’s acting like I didn’t just admit something horrible.

“Or did you change your mind?”

“No, it’s nothing like that. Still, even though it’s not that late, it’s already dark out….”

“Then, we should get going, right? Unless you don’t want me to come over.”

“That’s not what I meant. I’d be happy if you did.”

‘T-Then there’s no problem, right? Let’s go!”

“But….”

“Are you worried about me seeing something at your place? Hmm?”

“N-No, it’s not like that.”

I’m feeling a weird sense of anxiety like nothing I’ve felt before.

Honestly, I have no idea what she’s thinking.

Still, if she’s going to stay at my place, I couldn’t be more excited. I have to show her a good time. I’m sure I’ll have plenty of opportunities to admire her panties while she’s there.

Edita Sensei; this loli bitch is cute.
