High School Hack and Slash Chapter 106 Part 2
「We’ve arrived at Byakko-sou~.」
Behind Doggy-senpai, who turns around with a twirl, there stands a building that boasts a size incomparable to that of Asagi-sou.
The three-story building is the same as Asagi-sou and other entry-class dormitories.
However, as opposed to a retro-style wooden building, it’s a contemporary-style, simple, modern building.
It sports a design that puts the surrounding forest into consideration, so it doesn’t stand out like a sore thumb.
It looks like a villa in a summer resort or a fashionable hotel.
「By the way, each dormitory, the Byakko, the Genbu, the Seiryu, and the Suzaku, has a design with a different concept-woof. You can choose the dormitory of your choice, such as Japanese modern, Scandinavian, or country style-woof.」
Led by Nenene-senpai, who acts as our guide, we intrude into Byakko-sou.
The glass-sided entrance is an automatic door, and the entrance floor looks like a hotel lobby.
There is a lounge with a number of table sets arranged, and in the back there seems to be stores such as a boutique or a convenience store.
They’re by no means universally stocked, but it looks like even without having to go outside, they have all the daily necessities you need.
「Whoa. This isn’t a dormitory, but totally a hotel.」
「This is also the first time I’ve seen a middle-class dormitory, but it sure is nothing like the lower-class student dormitories, huh.」
Not only Mai and Seiichi, but also everyone is looking around restlessly.
「The facility management inside the dorm is a given, but things like cleaning the rooms are also handled by the housekeepers-woof. The same goes for laundry, as long as you ask for a cleaning, they’d deliver it all the way to your room-woof.」
In our entry-class dormitory, everything is basically self-service, handled by the students.
There is not even a manager, and the commuting aunties also only cook breakfast and dinner for us.
「Sigh… As I thought, it sure looks comfortable. I was also aiming for either Byakko-sou or Suzaku-sou, you see.」
「I believe you’d be better off staying in an environment that is busy enough, Otoha-senpai. If it’s too comfortable, I bet you’d gradually grow depraved, after all.」
「Th, that’s not true, okay? Well, at this point, I have no thought about moving out of Asagi-sou, though.」
As we proceed through the entrance floor, there’s a restaurant that looks like a mini school cafeteria.
There are also bar and tavern-like establishments, but as a student, I can’t help but wonder about their existence.
After that, there is also what looks like a beauty salon.
「Other than these, there is also a fitness gym and a spa facility-woof.」
「Amazing, or so I thought, but on second thought, we also have it in our dormitory, don’t we?」
「Asagi is too special-woof.」
「Ahaha. Everyone did their best to renovate it, after all.」
The upgrade has been continuing.
Moreover, how should I put it, these days, I get the feeling that the size of the dormitory visible from the outside doesn’t match the space inside the dormitory, which is being expanded.
The temporary club room and lounge area for instance, I get the feeling that they have been expanded to more than double their original size.
Well, there is no change in the exterior appearance of the dormitory, so it must be the so-called optical illusion or trick art.
Umeka-senpai showing a petite, smug face is adorable.
「Hmm. As expected, the menu is smaller than the school cafeteria, huh.」
Kurumi-senpai, making a face of someone observing the enemy’s movements, is peering into the restaurant where food samples and menu are being presented.
「… In exchange, it is open 24 hours a day… With a buffet in the morning, a lunch menu at noon, and there are also multi-course menus….」
Kanzashi-senpai, holding a worn-out doll, adds.
The doll sports a design I’ve seen somewhere before.
The work is rough, so I believe it’s her own work.
「… the taste is about as good as the school cafeteria… although the price is higher …」
Meals appear to be not free.
But it means that if you have leeway in your capital, you can eat whatever you want, whenever you want.
Food samples such as sushi, wazen (homely Japanese-style meals), donburi, ramen, omelet rice, spaghetti, tonkatsu (pork cutlets), steaks and hamburgers give off a somewhat nostalgic restaurant air to it.
「It’s a good idea to take some break and have some snacks.」
I catch Doggy-senpai, who is wagging her tail and is about to get inside, like a crane game in an arcade.
It’s obvious that she would end up settling down as if she had grown roots.
「What are you doing? I’m going to eat a snack~.」
「Alright, alright. I’m going to give you this, so bear with it for a bit.」
「Imokenpi!」
Doggy-senpai was struggling and flailing in the air, but instantly calmed down when she got a paper bag handed to her by Kurumi-senpai.
The bag was probably something she received on the way out from Meiron-senpai, who is house-sitting this time.
Merion-senpi the『Patissier』 is also sweet to Doggy-senpai.
「Asura-chan has been completely domesticated with food.」
「I’m giving a bit to you too, Kaoru-chan.」
She really shares just a little bit of the imokenpis with Lady Guy-senpai, who is holding his temples and sighing, and she.
The imokenpis made by Meiron-senpai is tasty, so it can’t be helped.
It’s on the level that even the shut-in Yuki would come out to seek for some imokenpis.
The crispy fried shredded sweet potatoes have a gentle sweetness.
「For Prez to share her snacks, she really has grown-woof.」
「… delicious, but only one piece …」
Still holding Doggy-senpai, who has gotten quiet, in my arms, I ask her to show us around Byakko-sou.
In middle class dorms, all rooms are private ones.
The arrangement of the rooms is uniform, with a bedroom and living room, and a modular bath with toilet as standard equipment.
The rooms are fully equipped with air-conditioners, and it doesn’t seem like you’ll be unable to sleep well, even on sultry nights.
The rooms are exactly what one would expect from a comfortable one-person apartment.
Although you can’t cook for yourself, there are public facilities in the dormitory, so there should be no problem with it.
「The interior is also stylish like a city hotel, and it certainly looks comfortable. But….」
「If you ask me if I’d want to move in, I’m not sure.」
Just as Mai and Shizuka say, I get the feeling that I don’t feel much appeal from it.
Or rather, I guess Asagi-sou is simply too comfortable upon being leveraged by the Craftsman senpais.
Compared to Kurou-sou, which had taken care of me when I first enrolled in the academy, or Hakutsuru-sou, where Shizuka and Mai lived, I think it is an environment I would like to move into without any complaints.
Sorry to say, but my impression after being briefly shown around the dormitory is something like that.
「Asagi is strange-woof.」
「It’s just a commonplace, ordinary girls’ dormitory, though.」
「… nice joke …」
Incidentally, it seems that dormitories of middle rank and above are shared by both men and women.
For better or worse, there seems to be a men’s wing and a women’s wing, but the areas are loosely divided with a Compatible feel to it.
Still holding Doggy-senpai, who’s holding a paper bag filled with sweet imokenpis and heartily stuffing her cheeks with it, in my arms, we return to the entrance floor.
She’s the Doggy-senpai who becomes docile when there is food, so she is dangling her legs.
「The condition for moving into a middle-class dorm is that you must belong to a club with a rank of C or higher-woof. If you have a rank down in the tournament, you will be kicked out-woof. Well, those who barely meet the requirements as such are not allowed to move into the dormitory from the beginning-meow.」
The monthly rent is 100,000 sen.
Things like food expenses and room service all charge extra.
We, the Adept Orders, are also qualified to move into the dormitory, but I think the price is fairly expensive.
At the very least, it is a sum that the enjoy group, who cannot earn sen in the dungeon, cannot afford.
「The presentation of Byakko-sou is pretty much something like that-woof.」
「Yes. It was very helpful, I suppose.」
「Right.」
Rinko-senpai and Mikan-senpai say so, but it wasn’t that helpful in terms of observing enemy movements.
The number of dormitory students who are returning to Byakko-sou is also increasing gradually, but everyone is laid-back, giving off an everyday life feel to it.
Mm, that’s undoubtedly a camouflage.
Even though they are living in the same dormitory, their club is different.
The intention to provoke negligence and then jump the gun on the others is obvious.
No, I guess it is a pattern where they attack you when you let your guard down, huh.
I have felt gazes on us since a while ago.
It’s too flimsy to be bloodlust, but there is a clear malicious intent directed at us.
I hope they’d attack us without reservation.
We are ready to intercept.
I am sure that Doggy-senpai, who is dexterously picking and eating imokenpis with her kigurumi claws, is not letting her guard down, either, probably Maybee.
「Well then, let’s go and take a look at Qilin-sou next-meow.」
I get the feeling that the cry setting has been contaminated since a while ago.
As I end up being at a loss whether to throw in a retort or not, that ends up becoming an opening.
