Academic City (1st)
As Sensei continued her lesson about Academy City, a light knock on my door interrupted her.
All three of us turned toward the noise, but it was Goggoru-chan that got up and moved closer to the sound. She silently stared at the door for a few monts, trying to ascertain whether or not the person behind the door was any form of threat.
She slowly turned her head back to and nodded.
safe.
T-Thank you, Goggoru-chan.
She read the persons mind through the door and seed to be convinced.
Im glad shes keeping my safety in mind. I am in an unfamiliar place, so I should keep in mind to be more cautious. The strange disparity between her secretarial behaviour and her loli body was oddly cute.
Now that I think about it, Goggoru-chan has been sitting there quietly listening to Edita Sensei and I constantly talk about the town without saying anything. She must have been searching for an opportunity to join in. I know how isolated shes been, so I dont need the ability to read her mind to know how she must feel.
Her reaction earlier suggests the sa thing.
Co in, the door is open.
The door swung open and a young boy entered.
Pardon my intrusion.
The boy appeared to be fifteen or sixteen. He was attractive in a non-intimidating way and had a strange charm about him. He looked to be about 160 centitres tall and if he were to be dressed in wons clothes, he would be more attractive than most won.
Speaking of clothes, hes wearing a uniform with a short green cloak that I assu is the uniform of Academy City. Beneath the cloak, he wore a shirt and pants of the sa colour with a belt around his waist and a unique tie around his neck.
His charm point was the large round glasses he wore.
Its a pleasure to et you. My na is Osborne Peacock and Ive been asked to show you around today. May I borrow a few monts of your ti?
Its great to et you. My na is Tanaka and I am the representative from the Penny Empire.
I stood from my seat on the sofa to greet him.
Tanaka-sama, right? Its nice to make your acquaintance.
This here is Edita-san and the girl over there is Rocoroco-san. They, like , are emissaries of the Penny Empire. Im sure you can tell that the latter is a mber of the Goggoru tribe, but I would appreciate it if you could treat her the sa as the rest of us.
S-S-ure, its a pleasure to et you.
nice to et you.
His calming voice was befitting of his deanor.
Im happy that, even though he recognized her as a Goggru, his attitude didnt change when speaking to her. He must be a nice kid. In the Penny Empire where a caste system exists, an interaction like this would be unimaginable.
I think Im going to start calling him Pi-chan.
By the way, u-umm, the elf over there.
what?
I dont an to be rude, but have we t before?
No? Isnt this the first ti weve ever t? At least not that I know of.
R-Right, of course. Im sorry. Im certain this must be the first ti weve t, but it just feels so strange.
N-No, theres no need to apologize. Everyone makes mistakes. Right?
Edita Sensei looked to for approval. Its strange for her to act so nervous. It was clear she was feeling anxious. Maybe she has a preference for handso younger n.
Wait, this must be how he picks up girls.
He lures them in with his calming aura.
Sensei, this iken is picking you up.
I wont let that happen. Definitely not.
Yes, umm, youre right. Now, what was that about showing us around?
Eh? A-Ah, right! Youre absolutely right. Shall we begin?
I successfully managed to change the flow of the conversation.
After shifting his posture, Pi-chan began again.
I must apologize for the inconvenience, but the representative of Academy City is currently out of the city, so the deputy representative wishes to address you in their stead. If you have a mont of ti to spare, Id appreciate you coming with .
Id appreciate your guidance.
Thank you. Now, this way, please.
Pi-chan gave a deep bow and gestured with his arm to show the way.
I followed in that direction and left the room.

We were guided to a room that was oddly reminiscent of an office.
Through the door leading out to the hallway was a spacious room around thirty tres square. A large desk was situated in the middle with a pair of sofas facing each other in front of it. A series of bookshelves lined the walls.
One entire wall was just a glass window that allowed you to look down on the city below. A high-rise apartnt in the downtown area of a major city would offer a similar view.
My desire to own such a nice place was stimulated. This Academy City is turning out pretty nice.
Please, allow to welco you to Academy City. I am Professor Klaus Bus, the deputy representative of the Centre.
I am from the Penny Empire. You can call Tanaka.
The man seated at the desk was a bit older than and appeared to be in his mid-forties.
He was a rather tall man, about 180 centitres tall, who wore a strikingly white coat. The part on the side of his head made him more familiar as it was a hairstyle similar to so colleagues I worked with previously. The fact that he was an attractive white man created a sense of distance far greater than the actual distance between us.
Similar to Pi-chan he wore a pair of glasses, but his were square rather than circular. The sharp edges on his glasses matched the sharp features of his face. His stern gaze made him look intimidating based on first impressions.
You wasted no ti in getting here. There is still much ti before the eting is scheduled.
I am rely a baron in the Penny Empire and my ti may not be as precious as many of the other representatives, but I hope this wont make you think my country is any less interested in this gathering.
I understand. I appreciate your candour, Baron Tanaka.
Thank you, Professor Bus.
I expected hed appreciate being forthright based on his intellectual appearance.
I left Goggoru-chan and Edita Sensei behind in their respective rooms. I decided that it might send the wrong ssage if I t with the higher ranking mbers of Academy City with Goggoru-chan at my side. I hope I can manage on my own when first eting with them.
Baron Tanaka, are you at all familiar with the academy in the Penny Empire?
I dont know much about its history or how it operates, but I am enrolled as a student there.
Hou? Thats surprising. Ive heard most of their students are on the younger side.
Even at my age, I still wish to learn sothing new.
I see. How studious of you, Baron Tanaka.
The pursuit of knowledge should only end with death.
Yes, many in this city feel the sa.
And I wouldnt have had anything to eat. Living in such a highly competitive society can be scary. Id happily give up my studies if possible and find a beautiful woman that makes a lot of money to be with. Id spend my days eating, sleeping, and watching porn.
Id like to hear more about the academy when you get the chance.
Id be happy to tell you anything you wish to know.
Thank you.
Theres sothing I just realized I forgot to check with Edita Sensei. I dont know what the equivalent rank for professor would be in the Penny Empire. Considering Im here as a guest and a representative of my country, I dont think it would be a good idea to act like Im better than anyone here.
Theres still quite so ti before the eting is scheduled to begin. If youre interested in exploring Academy City, feel free to look around. Peacock has so other matters to attend to, but I can make arrangents for another to be your guide.
Thank you.
I hope the next one is a schoolgirl.
I hope shes a schoolgirl that wears miniskirts and has a habit of not wearing panties.
Do you have any questions for ?
Nothing that I can think of currently.
I see. Well, I dont an to be rude, but I have many other matters to attend to, so you may take your leave.
Of course. Thank you for taking the ti out of your busy schedule to et with .
My first visit with a representative of this city went pleasantly. Professor Bus was an easy person to talk to. I know my social experience is rather limited, but Ive found that people like him tend to be good at their jobs. I dont think getting closer to him sounds that bad.
Ill be sure to rember his na in the future.
