Chapter 25 The Boys’ Dormitory at Night and the Mystery of the Beautiful Young Men
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Alys Magic Academy. Man, this is the setting for that Erotic Game, Maidens x Cross-dressing.
If you enroll at seven, you’re here for a total of nine years, until you turn fifteen. After that, you can choose whether or not to advance to the Higher Course, but let’s save that talk for later, yeah?
Eh? Why don’t they enroll at six? Well, that’s fair. Normally, in a game world (now real) based on pre-reincarnation global standards, first-graders usually start at six. But obviously, they couldn’t feature little girl heroines in that game. Ethics, you know?
But the crazy, perverted development team figured they could feature girls who aged from little girls into young women, so they set the entrance age at seven. The developer interview for Maidens x Cross-dressing even mentioned that it was ‘more convenient’ for a lot of reasons. Man, that dev they interviewed must’ve been a total freak.
Whoa, hold up! I got totally sidetracked there.
Alys Magic Academy is a magic school outside the Regain Kingdom. Its massive grounds include student dormitories, various commercial facilities, a huge sports field, and even specialized field stages magically created, like a forest and a grassland.
It’s got that total Erotic Game fantasy vibe. You can live your entire life right inside Alys Magic Academy without even having to go all the way to the Regain Royal Capital. There are also dangerous spots like the forbidden inner garden and the Foggy Marsh, but whatever.
And right now, the entrance ceremony event for today is finally over, and I’m at the student dormitories.
That’s when my most-loved girl decides to throw a fit, see.
”I don’t want to… I absolutely don’t want to. I want to be with Shin-kun, no!” Alexia insisted, her eyes narrowing in a glare (jito-me) right in front of the boys’ dorm.
She was staring at me and at Lala-chan, who was—for some reason—standing right next to me and clutching my hand.
What’s her deal? She should hurry up and head to the girls’ dorm with Layla-chan and Hollow.
”Alexia. This is the boys’ dorm. The girls’ noble dorm is over there, where you’re supposed to go.”
”That is correct ~desuwa. Please do hurry and inform the new Class Head, won’t you?” Lala-chan chimed in. Why is Lala-chan even over on my side? You should hurry up and get to the girls’ dorm, too! You’re rooming with Karentisia-chan, so go bond with your fellow weird-pervert-inclinations-havers!
”…Why do you look so ridiculously happy? And who is this girl next to you?” Alexia continued, her expression clearly furious as she just kept staring at me. Yeah. That’s a scary face she’s making.
”She’s a classmate I just met today. Her name is Ms. Doemsista.”
”Yes. I (watakushi) am Shin-sama’s exclusive Doemsista… Wait, no desuwa. Shin-sama. I (watashi) am Shin-sama’s exclusive—Muggh! Nn!
”Shin-sama! What are you doing? Aren’t we supposed to announce our Master-Submissive relationship to everyone right here?!”
I clamped my hand over Lala-chan’s mouth instantly.
Heeeey. Don’t say anything more unnecessary, Lala-chan the Dork! You’re seriously a professional at confusing a crowd. Alexia’s pupils, which were just narrowed in a glare, are totally dilating now.
”My apologies, Alexia. This classmate… all her screws have flown off, and she’s a troubled child who does odd things. Ahaha…”
Woosh… CHIK-KACK!
”I told you that cheating means your head gets chopped off, Shin-kun.” Alexia brandished the Divine Artifact (Shinki), ‘Goddess Hermes’s Golden Axe’ (miniaturized), in her right hand. Yikes. This girl’s kinda scary, innit?
”Hmph… Alexia. This isn’t the Seyfried Territory. This is Alys Magic Academy, a public place. No matter how much of a noble you are—a Churidinse family—you still have to follow the academy rules.”
That’s right. This is a place where Alexia’s usual demands won’t work. Which means she can’t stick by me twenty-four-seven like she did back in the Seyfried Territory. That, in turn, means I get more alone time!
”Ugh! …But I don’t want to, no! I want to be with Shin-kun all the time!” Alexia wailed a cry from her soul.
But no can do. The academy has proper rules in place. Alexia needs to make friends with her roommate and then hook up with and marry the heroines.
”Hollow-sama! Over here! Alexia-sama is—”
”What? Is that idiot Shin bullying Alexia? Don’t you dare!”
Oh, crap. I wondered why Layla-chan, who’s usually glued to Alexia, wasn’t around. She brought Hollow over? This isn’t good.
”Lala. The dorm head is looking for us. Let’s get back to the girls’ dorm, now.” Karentisia-chan showed up, her uniform demon-remodeled into an arrangement resembling traditional Elven attire.
Whoa. This is insane. Right now, in front of my very eyes, the protagonist (Alexia) of Maidens x Cross-dressing and the three most popular Eroines—Lala-chan, Karentisia-chan, and Hollow—are all gathered! I’m an overjoyed fan! I gotta take a picture ~ Luna-kun ~!
(Nyah ~ Leave it to me, Master.)
FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH!!!
Luna-kun’s residence, my right eye, is loudly flashing. Guess he’s taking pictures.
”Hey! Idiot Shin! What’re you doing to Alexia?” Karentisia-chan demanded.
”Pervert. Lala is my (watashi no) roommate, so I’m taking her with me… Why is that girl crying? Did you harass her, perhaps?” Hollow questioned, her tone measured but sharp.
GRAB! GRAB! Karentisia-chan and Hollow simultaneously snatched me up, lifting my body into the air. This is terrifying.
”Huh? What’s your deal?” Karentisia-chan snapped.
”And what is it with you?” Hollow coolly shot back.
What’s with these girls? They’re already sparking with rivalry right after meeting. So scary.
…Ah, right. In the game, they fought over Alexia numerous times. As expected of Alexia. She’s already started ‘capturing’ the heroines. What an amazing protagonist. I’m so proud!
”Guh?! …Nothing at all. We’re done here. Both of you, I’m against violence!” I choked out.
”Then why is Alexia about to cry?” Karentisia-chan pressed.
”And you were hugging Lala… What, are you (Shin) trying to build a harem?” Hollow accused.
I have zero plans for that, and since Alexia is my most-loved girl, it’s not happening.
”Plus, why is that girl all over Shin-kun?” Alexia whined, possessiveness dripping from her voice.
”Ah, this girl? I was just holding her so I could hand her over to Karentisia-chan. She seems to have a wandering habit and runs off everywhere. So, Karentisia-chan, please take her!”
I pried Lala-chan off my back and practically shoved her into Karentisia-chan’s arms.
”Shin-sama! That was forceful desu!” Lala-chan squeaked.
”Huh? Idiot Shin, what the heck? How many girls are you trying to get into your harem with this pink-haired one?” Karentisia-chan growled.
”Pervert. You… you really were a pervert, weren’t you? Flirting with all these cute girls right in front of the boys’ dorm,” Hollow declared.
Uh oh, looks like things are getting complicated again. Hollow and Karentisia-chan’s grips on me tightened even more.
”Shin-kun… is mine, no… You can’t flirt with so many girls… Uuugh…” Alexia whimpered.
Oh no! Alexia’s about to cry… This is bad. I’ve taken the joke too far.
”Excuse me, both of you, but please stand aside. teleportation magic (Solo).” I murmured.
”Huh?” “He vanished?”
I used teleportation magic to appear right in front of Alexia.
”Alexia. Let’s talk for a bit. simultaneous teleportation (Twins).”
”Sniff… Shin-kun?”
Swoosh ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
”No way! He vanished again, and Alexia with him!” “What kind of magic was that, I wonder?”
* * *
(Boys’ Dorm Rooftop)
”Here you go, Alexia. Your favorite snack, Pocky.”
CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH! She shoved it in her mouth until both cheeks puffed out like a squirrel.
”…Sniff. It’s yummy, no. But I’m still sad, no.”
I pulled Alexia’s favorite Pocky out of my storage charm and stuffed her face until she cheered up. Thank goodness.
”Alexia. As I just said. This is no longer the Seyfried Territory. Therefore, you must follow the rules of the Magic Academy.”
”Okay… Who was that pink girl, though? And I just remembered: sometimes, I could smell a scent like hers coming from your clothes, Shin-kun.”
What the…? This girl? She’s got a super-sharp gaze and is saying something incredibly perceptive. What scent? …Ah, I see. When we were in the Seyfried Territory, I used to carry Lala-chan on my back late at night when wandering around, so her scent must have rubbed off on my clothes sometimes.
”…That girl is my stalker.”
”A… Sneaker? What’s that, no?”
Close, but you missed one letter.
”A stalker is someone who persistently follows a specific person.”
”…I don’t understand difficult words, no.”
”Right. You’re still young, Alexia, so of course you wouldn’t understand… Simply put, she’s a tag-along, ssu. But I just handed her over to Karentisia-chan, and she won’t try to sneak into the boys’ dorm again. Lala-chan is the kind of girl who understands once you tell her. Alexia, you need to be like her and follow the rules in the girls’ dorm.”
”Okay, no. But Karentisia-chan… Lala-chan… Shin-kun, you have so many girl acquaintances besides Layla-chan and Hollow-chan.”
Uh oh! She’s giving me that glare again. Is this girl’s intuition getting too sharp day by day?
”They’re just classmates I made friends with… Listen. From now on, I live in the boys’ dorm. You live in the girls’ dorm. This is the rule of the magic academy. You have Layla-chan as a roommate, and you also have Yura, Sara, and Meryu-chan as your servants, so you have absolutely nothing to worry about in terms of daily life.”
Hoo, if I explain it this carefully, Alexia should finally understand…
”Muuugh… Okay, no. I’ll try my best, Shin-kun.”
”Good. I’m glad to hear that, Alexia.”
Good. Even Alexia, who usually never changes her mind once it’s set, seems to have finally been convinced. Now I can secure some alone time during the weekdays at the academy dorms. Alexia can also spend more quality time with the Heroines. Happy ending, I guess…
* * *
(Dormitory Central Corridor)
After convincing Alexia, I teleported to the corridor between the boys’ and girls’ dorms.
”Well, Alexia. See you tomorrow. Good night.”
”…Yeah. Good night, no.”
…She still doesn’t look completely convinced, my most-loved girl.
”Oh? Were you here, Alexia-nee… Alexia.”
Hmm? Who’s that boy with the white hair? His face looks similar to Alexia’s.
”Alexia, who is that?”
”That’s Noel-kun, my twin brother, no.”
”Noel-kun…?”
”Noel-kun. I need you to come with me for a bit, no.”
”Huh? What’s wrong, Alexia?”
Whoa. Alexia just dragged that boy named Noel off somewhere. What’s her deal?
Come to think of it, was that character in Maidens x Cross-dressing? …No. There were other characters in this world (real) that I didn’t know about, so I guess he could exist. But usually, the protagonist’s (Alexia’s) twin would be an early-game character… Wait, no way.
”Could it be… a numbered sequel? Is this world (real) a sequel I don’t know about?”
CHIK-KACK…
(Elder Sister! You cannot do this desuwa!)
(It’s an older sister’s order, Noel-chan! Just give up, no! Layla-chan, help me, eh!)
(Yes, Alexia-sama!)
(Wha—What are you doing, Elder Sister Alexia!! Layla-sama!!)
RIIIP RIIIP RIIIP RIIIP!!
Huh? What was that? Did I just hear the sound of something tearing coming from the direction Alexia went?
”Alexia! Are you okay?!”
”Yeah, I’m fine, no! You can relax now, Shin-kun ~!”
Alexia’s cheerful voice drifted over from a distance.
”…Well. I doubt any new student would cause trouble for the current Class Head, so I guess they’ll be fine. I’m going to make my cool exit to my own room, now.”
I made my cool exit to the private room the magic academy had prepared for me.
* * *
(Boys’ Dormitory – Shin and Noel’s Room)
I was just relaxing in my prepared room when they suddenly appeared…
”H-Hi, Shin-kun. I’m your roommate, Noel, no. Please take care of me from now on, no.”
”I am Ray, Noel-sama’s butler. From today, I shall be taking care of Shin-sama and Ale—Noel-sama.”
”…Alexia… Layla-chan. What in the world are you doing?” I whispered.
”Please take care of me from now on, Shin-kun.” “We look forward to serving you, Shin-sama.”
…What kind of outrageous development is this? Where is my alone time?
Who barged into my room? It was none other than Alexia and Layla-chan, now dressed as bishonen (beautiful young men) in the boys’ uniforms!
* * *
(Girls’ Dormitory)
”…Why are you here, Noel? Isn’t your private room in the boys’ dorm?” Karentisia-chan demanded.
”Elder Sister and Layla-sama stripped me and sent me here, desuwa. This is horrible, Elder Sister! Layla-sama!” Noel cried out.
”…Tough luck, kid.”
Notes:
• Meryu – The “Highest Water Fairy” of the Fairy Kingdom, who now serves as an “exclusive maid” for Shin’s hidden base and is currently acting as Layla-chan’s guardian. She was captured by Shin (the brat) using a net and a cage on a hot summer day while stuck in a tree hollow. Shin enforced a Master-Servant contract using the Oath Book (Honorius) and a Pleasure Crest document. She is comically defensive of her employer, citing his good wages, time off, and the fun she now has, and is realizing she is starting to like this world. She is terrified of Chairman Callus.
• Sara – One of Alexia’s new maids sent from the Churidince family. She is described as sharp and composed. Twin; has a graceful smile.
