Volume 5 Chapter 1 Prize For Winning
First Term: New Student Martial Arts Tournament.
Team Battle Champion: Team Gambo.
Members: Gambo, Elk, Fine.
Prize: 100 free meal vouchers for all restaurants in the shopping mall.
Individual Battle: No winner (officially none. The winner is Elk)
Prize: Student Dormitory.
A dormitory for former staff. A new building was completed, and the staff moved there, so it is currently empty. It was renovated into a student dormitory and awarded to the winner, Elk.
A few students moved here. The reason for the move is said to be 'because there was a leak in their dorm room, so they had to move.'
This is about the prize Elk received, the 'student dormitory.'
The story goes back a little.
Right after Elk was called by Poseidon and met up with Emma and the others.
"So, are you coming to my dorm?"
When Elk explained that he received the 'student dormitory' as a prize, Nickes got excited.
"Seriously!! Yes, yes!! I'm moving into your dorm!!"
"Yeah. Then Nickes is moving."
"Yes, yes, yes!! Hey, Elk. Can girls come too?"
"Yeah. The supervising teacher lives there, and the dorm is separated by gender. It used to be a dorm for staff. They renovated it, and we can use it."
"Then I'm going too!!"
"Fine is in too."
Elk writes names on the 'dormitory resident list' he got from Elshi.
Elk doesn't know yet, but the renovations have already started. After deciding to recognize Elk as the winner of the individual battle, it seems Poseidon had already begun the dorm renovations.
Harem Palace. Elk would choose that... Poseidon seemed to think so. Of course, Elk had no intention of doing that at all.
Then, Gambo raised his hand.
"Is that a private room?"
"Yeah. It looks like it, but since it's a teacher's room, the private room seems to be pretty big."
Elk read the manual he was given.
Gambo thought for a moment and said to Elk.
"I'm going in too. There shouldn't be any noisy people there."
"Noisy people?"
"Don't worry about it. So, is it okay?"
"Of course. Gambo is in too."
Elk didn't know.
Since losing to Elk, Gambo had faced quite a bit of harassment.
His room had been messed up, and his door had been broken.
If he told Elk, Elk would care. Thinking that, Gambo had already told Nickes to keep quiet about the situation.
Elk, unaware of all this, wrote down Gambo's name.
Then, Fine said.
"Hey, hey! Emma and Merry should come too!"
"...Um, I want to go."
"...Well, I'm okay with it too."
"Alright. Emma and Merry are in."
Then, Elk looked at the last person... Yato.
Yato was quietly sipping tea without saying anything.
When their eyes met, she nodded slightly.
"I don't really mind either way."
"I see... Well, I won't force you."
"Yeah."
Yato sipped her tea.
Elk looked at the manual and said, "Oh!"
"This dorm has a bath. It seems like there's a big bath separated by gender... The dorm we live in only has a small tub and a shower. As expected of a teacher's dorm."
"...!"
Yato looked at Elk.
"Alright, I'll go in too."
"Uh... no, you don't have to force yourself."
"I'm not. So, is it okay? Or not?"
"Y-yeah, it's fine."
"Then it's decided."
With that, the members who would enter the dormitory were decided.
Elk stood up with the list of dormitory residents.
"Okay, I'll submit this. I don't know how long it will take for the dorm to be ready, but once it's done, I'll call everyone."
Saying that, Elk left the store and headed to the 'Vice Principal's Office' where Elshi was.
* * *
"The dormitory is ready. You can move in anytime."
"Excuse me?"
Elk handed over the list of dormitory residents.
Elshi's words confused Elk, and he unintentionally replied with a strange voice.
"Ready? But, it hasn't even been a few hours since I got this paper."
"Hahaha. Well then, let me show you the dormitory."
"Oh, okay..."
Elk still couldn't quite believe it.
Following Elshi's guidance, they walked to a 2-story building about 5 minutes from the shopping mall.
There were several similar buildings nearby. They all seemed to be for teachers, but apparently, they were not in use right now.
One of those buildings had a sign that said 'Student Dormitory.'
"This is it."
"Really? Is this really the place? It looks so nicely renovated..."
"Did you forget my skill? 'Time Manipulation'... In the real world, it may only be a few hours, but in the space created by my skill, months have passed."
She paused time inside the dormitory and had workers renovate it.
It seemed that while only a few hours passed in the real world, months had gone by inside the dormitory. With months, the renovations would surely be finished.
Elshi said.
"Thank you. If it weren't for you, the damage from the Goddess Holy Church would have been much worse. Poseidon talked about a harem palace, but... I want you to make this place the best spot for you and your friends to hang out."
"Vice Principal..."
"Oh, and I've arranged for the supervising teacher and the cook. They'll probably move into the dorm tomorrow."
"Really, you've done so much..."
"Don't worry about it. Well then."
Elk bowed his head.
Elshi started to walk away, then stopped.
Without turning around, Elshi said.
"I mentioned adult responsibilities, but... I might need your help after all."
"...Yes."
"Well then, enjoy your school life."
This time, Elshi left.
Elk looked up at the student dorm.
"School life, huh..."
He wanted to enjoy his school life.
But first... he needed to settle things with the Duke Kinesis family.
He would probably take some action regarding the disappearance of Rosho and Sarissa.
"──Okay!! Oh, that's right. Maybe I'll just move in today."
Elk pumped himself up and headed to the old dorm to grab his things.
* * *
When he told Gambo and Nickes in the dorm about the new dorm, they said, "We have to organize our stuff," so moving in would be postponed until tomorrow. For the girls, Nickes would tell Merry, and she would pass it on to Emma and the others.
Elk gathered his things and jumped out the window.
He used Telekinesis to lift his body and belongings, flying straight to the new dorm.
He landed in front of the dorm and opened the door while still holding his things in the air.
"First one here!! Ah, this is great since I don't have to worry about anything."
The first floor was a lounge.
The kitchen is also attached, and it serves as a dining area. From here, there were stairs leading to the large bath and to each person's room on the second floor.
Elk dives onto the new sofa.
"Ha, ha ha... I can't believe I got a dorm! Wow!! In this huge school, a dorm for me and my friends!! This feels amazing!!"
Elk's excitement rises.
Since he's here, he decides to check out the large bath and kitchen. He stands up.
The large bath is separated by gender. A big sign says 'Men's Bath' and 'Women's Bath.'
"A bath, huh? Did the Duke Kinesis family have one? They hired someone with the 'Hot Water' skill, and Sarissa used to take a bath there every day."
Remembering the past, Elk looks at the entrance of the large bath───.
"Ah, that was a nice bath!!"
"Huh?"
Suddenly, the door to the women's bath opens.
A woman with gray hair steps out.
She has a towel on her shoulder and is bare from the waist up, wearing only underwear on the bottom.
"......"
"......"
Elk and the woman freeze.
The woman smiles, steps back into the women's bath, and closes the door.
Then───.
"Kyahhh!? W-w-w-who is that!? D-d-d-did someone just come out!?"
"Uh, um, I'm Elk, the new dorm resident here. Um..."
He remembers the woman's skin, and Elk's face turns red as he shakes his head vigorously.
"I-I'm so sorry!!"
Elk quickly apologizes.
After that, not knowing what to do, he wanders around the lounge... and this time, the door to the women's bath opens modestly. A woman with long hair tied back and wearing glasses comes out.
"..."
"Uh, um..."
"You're Elk, the winner of the individual competition, right?"
"Y-yes."
"...Aren't you moving into the dorm tomorrow?"
"Um... I heard I could move in anytime, so I came here."
"I see."
She's just like him.
The woman said quietly.
"Um, who are you?"
"Ahem. I am Sophia, the dorm supervisor. I'm 19 years old. Nice to meet you."
"Dorm supervisor? I thought the dorm supervisor and the cafeteria lady were starting tomorrow... oh."
"..."
Elk understood.
This person is just like him...
Sophia turned away, her face turning red.
Elk, flustered, asked a question.
"Um, Miss Sophia, you're really young. I mean, being a teacher at 19..."
"Yeah, well. But I'm not a regular teacher; I'm a 'dorm supervisor.'"
"O-oh..."
A dorm supervisor.
Unlike regular teachers who teach at school, a dorm supervisor is a teacher just for the dorm.
For example, they help with homework questions.
For example, they handle any disputes that happen in the dorm.
For example, they pass on announcements from the school.
The dorm supervisor is responsible for the dorm.
"Ahem. Um, I received a list from Vice Principal Elshi. 3 boys and 4 girls are moving into the dorm. I have rooms prepared for each of you, so I'll show you around."
"Um... was it bad for me to come here?"
"Not at all. Now, this is the boys' dorm."
"O-okay. And... I'm sorry for seeing that."
"..."
Sophia's ears were as red as they could be.
