Book 6: Chapter 1 (10)

Lolita and Bitch

We settled down to talk not long after arriving at Edita Sensei’s home. Sensei took a seat on a sofa directly across from me with a small table between us that had tea arranged on it.

As always, Goggoru-chan sat in a corner keeping her distance from us. She was wearing a traditional dress that reminded me of a mini-skirt. It barely covered anything, but the room was so dimly lit that all I could see between her thighs was darkness. The truth continues to elude me.

“S-So, what’s this all about?”

“Well….”

Unsurprisingly, the first thing she wanted to know was why I was here.

“What is it?” 

“Well, umm, there’s just a lot that’s been going on….” 

It’s hard to put it in words.

Ester-chan has forgotten all about me and I’m lonely. I’m a lonely, middle-aged man. I’m afraid that when Goggoru-chan and I go home alone, I’ll lose control and rape her. I’m afraid I won’t hold back and creampie her. I’ll have no choice but to take responsibility.

How am I supposed to tell her that? 

“What’s wrong? Is it something you can’t tell me?” 

“No, it’s nothing like that….” 

Now that I think about, considering her status, Goggoru-chan would likely fight back. If it turned into a pure contest of skill, I’d be no match for her. Goggoru-chan would put me down.

“Then, what is it?”

“Actually, it’s….” 

I casually glanced down towards Sensei’s legs and, to my horror, her normally fully exposed panties were now hidden behind her tightly closed legs. Have the city’s panty shot stores closed for the night? 

I was the one that gave her this idea.

And Sensei agreed with me. 

I decided that I would one day be rewarded with the sight of her panties when she willingly spread her legs for me.

The view of her panties when going up the stairs was merely a lucky break for me. Sensei is a typical researcher type that gets completely obsessed in one thing and forgets everything else.

“…just hurry up and tell me. Or are you doing this to tease me?” 

Maybe I can avoid the main issue and tell her everything else.

There’s a lot that I can tell her about.

“Actually, I’m planning on leaving the capital soon.”

After hearing about my plans, Sensei suddenly looked upset.

“W-What did you say!?”

She stood from the sofa, leaned across the table, and spoke in an almost combative tone. 

It was a strange reaction.

It caught me so off guard that I missed my chance to look at her panties.

Illustration that goes here

“W-What do you mean by ‘leave?’”

“I’m going to Academy City.” 

“Wha…you’re going to Academy City!? That far!?”

“That’s right.”

Apparently, she’s heard of it before.

Now that I think about it, I’ve heard of the city from her before.

“Why would you need to go all the way there? You’re studying at the academy here in the capital, right? So why do you need to travel so far from home? I know that that city is more advanced than here, but you’ve only just been admitted to the academy here.”

“I have business in that city.” 

“…wh-what do you mean by ‘business?’”

A sudden barrage of questions.

Is this ‘Academy City’ a dangerous place? 

How could that be? 

“Business as a nobleman. It’s something I can’t refuse.” 

“Oh, really….” 

“That’s why I wanted to speak to you once more before I left the city. I’m sorry for dropping in so suddenly.”

“You don’t have to apologize. I-it’s not like I mind….”

Sensei’s eyes flicked over to Goggoru-chan for a second.

The person she was staring at was still silently sitting on the ground. 

She never moved a muscle.

The chocololi’s cuteness was so high that she could be added as a decoration to any room to brighten it up.

“By chance, are you planning to take that Goggoru woman with you?”

“Yes, that was my plan. I’m involved with something I can’t get out of and I can’t leave her alone. I’ve already caused her so much trouble and now I’m asking her to travel even more, but I don’t have any choice.”

“….”

If we’re separated by a great distance, I can’t fulfill my promise to talk with her. I’m sorry Goggoru-chan, but I have to ask you to walk this road with me. If you were to cause any problems with someone while I was away, I’m not sure what would happen.

This definitely has nothing to do with any masochistic desire to always have my mind read.

Sexual harassment, even in a mental capacity, is a serious matter.

“…but you enjoy it.”

“….”

I got hit with a tsukkomi by a loli sitting on the floor with her knees held against her chest.

You’re right, I was lying. It’s the most fun thing in the world.

And it makes me happy when you interrupt my thoughts like that.

Please, tease me more.

“….”

“….”

This isn’t good.

I feel like I’m becoming dependent on Goggoru-chan. She helped out today with what happened to Ester-chan. If I don’t do something about it, I might find myself chasing after Goggoru-chan in the not too distant future. If that happens, I don’t see myself not falling for her. As a virgin, I’d rather be chased than do the chasing.

As I worried about the future of my virgin status, Edita Sensei suddenly interrupted my thoughts.

“I’m going!”

It was a sudden declaration.

“…do you have somewhere you need to be?”

“That’s not what I meant! I-I’m going with you to Academy City!”

“You want to come with, Edita?”

Usually someone like Edita Sensei would prefer to stay indoors, so it’s strange for her to insist on going out.

I’m not sure what to make of this.

“D-Do you not want me to come?”

“No, I’d be happy to have you with me, Edita. I’m just wondering why you’d want to come. You have a life here and you’re still finishing up your book….”

“I can finish the book anywhere!”

“Are you sure?”

“Of course! Which is why I’m coming too, right…!?”

She proudly declared that she was coming too while puffing out her chest, but her final words trailed off a little.

I saw the duality of my sensei. She started off excited and full of energy, but finished looking hesitant and unsure of herself. 

“…c-can I?”

How can I say no to that face?

I’d be overjoyed to travel with her.

I should be the one begging her to join me.

“Of course you can. I’ll be sure to handle the necessary arrangements.”

“T-Thanks!”

My thick thighed loli sensei has joined the party travelling to Academy City.

Later that evening, in Edita Sensei’s home.

It was late in the night when we finished eating and bathing and had said goodnight to each other. I was lying on the sofa in the living room with only a sliver of moonlight from a nearby window offering me any light. In the silent room, I noticed a slight change as if someone were watching me. I sat up on the sofa and looked around. It took me a moment, but I noticed a faint silhouette of a dark color that blended in with the darkness of night.

“…I thought you were given the third floor guest room.”

This was the living room on the second floor.

“We never got a chance to talk about today.”

“You’re right.”

She’s been sexually harassed by me all day and still wants to talk to me. I guess Goggoru-chan’s tolerance of sexual harassment is higher than I thought. If Sophia-chan were in her place, she would have ran from me the first day. I’m not even sure if Ester-chan could put up with it.

“Are you going to get up?”

“Yes, I’m getting up.”

I fully sat up off of the sofa and moved my feet to the floor.

Goggoru-chan quickly took the seat next to me.

The distance between us was so small that our shoulders were touching.

This might make it easier for her to read my thoughts.

Now that I think about it, there’s one thing I need to ask.

“…what’s that?”

When you were alone with Sophie-chan in my dorm, you only just met her, and yet you attacked her. I don’t think that’s very like you, Goggoru-chan. To attack her so suddenly, even if her mind is dirtier than mine.

“What do you think?”

“I’d rather hear it from you than speculate myself.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Why did you attack Sophie-chan?”

“….”

Goggoru-chan seemed reluctant to answer. I wondered if I should take her silence to mean there may be something wrong with her. But, after a few more moments of silence, she replied in a quiet voice.

“She was thinking about using you in worse ways than even that nobleman.”

“Aah….”

Is that what she meant before when she said, “there is always someone stronger”?

That means the attack against the idol bitch was a warning to her to stay away from me. And I asked Goggoru-chan not to talk about the things she has read. Goggoru-chan was dealing with that knowledge and the guilt for attacking her without giving me a reason.

“….”

“I think that’s incredibly brave of you.”

“…no, it isn’t.”

I was right.

I’m not surprised about Sophie-chan.

“I’m sorry for putting you in a difficult position and making you feel uncomfortable. Thank you.”

“I did good?”

“Yes, and I’m relieved to know why you did it.”

“…she was thinking terrible things.”

“But I still don’t hate her.”

“She doesn’t have a hymen.”

“T-True, but that doesn’t make me hate her.”

Goggoru-chan has surprisingly good comedic timing.

It made me both happy and said.

Or is she just trying to make me feel better?

I don’t know.

“She’s saved my life multiple times before. I wouldn’t be here without her.”

“…right.”

“Yes.”

“Whatever you say.”

“Thank you for understanding.”

“….”

I never told Goggoru-chan this, but if I think about who has aided me the most in this world, Sophie-chan falls second to only the noble mage. She definitely acts with her own interests in mind, but she also thinks about others.

More importantly, she has been one of the top ranks for material I use at night since we first met. I wish to thank her from the bottom of my heart for everything she allowed me to see today. I hope we can continue being friends for many years to come.

“But, she is far from what you want to reach the happiness you desire.”

“Forming good relationships isn’t that easy. Considering the two people involved, the distance between her and I is surprisingly close.”

“…you really believe that?”

“Yes, I really do.”

One day, we’ll grow closer and I’ll have my way with her.

I’ll make her cum over and over again.

“…you really believe that?”

“You decide to focus on strange things.”

“….”

Or are you just worried about me?

That couldn’t make me happier.

“I’m glad we met, Rocoroco-san. Thank you for always looking after me.”

“I haven’t done much….”

I’m kind of annoyed at Sophie-chan for making me doubt Goggoru-chan.

Well, whatever, that’s enough about the idol bitch for one day.

Now I just want to use this time to better know Goggoru-chan. I’d like to know if there’s anything she enjoys eating. It’s important to get to know another person’s hobbies and likes. It allows you to shorten the distance between you. And, if it’s something I can make, I’d be happy to do so.

“Rocoroco-san, what do you….”

The rest of the night passed peacefully with Goggoru-chan.
