Chapter 32: This Maiden Shall Grant You Any Wish You Desire~!
Naturally, St. Fellatio Girls' Academy had places to eat.
Of course, since it was an institution for noble daughters, it wasn't some basic cafeteria or student mess hall. It was more like a collection of high-end restaurants serving multi-course meals.
However, even these young ladies were human; they couldn't survive on nothing but formal course meals three times a day. Moreover, if lower-ranking noble girls from poor territories ate at those restaurants every day, their families would go bankrupt in no time.
After all, the family had to support everything—from tuition and dormitory fees to food, clothing, various living expenses, and even the wages of personal maids.
So, how did they manage their meals?
The answer was to go to a cafe rather than a restaurant. Since there were no places selling cheap street food in this academy, the cafes were the only spots with relatively lower prices.
It was said that those in truly dire straits would ask their maids to pack lunch boxes, but in the webtoon, this was depicted as something that required a lot of thick skin.
If you showed even a hint of being look-down-upon or acted "poor," you’d immediately be ignored and become the target of backstabbing gossip—that was the true nature of a lady's academy in a romance fantasy!
There was a reason Freyja went to such lengths to act like a Duke’s daughter and put on airs. It was a place where one couldn't survive without schemes and pretension...!
Of course, none of that had anything to do with me.
"A-A commoner..."
"I-Is that person the commoner...?"
As soon as I appeared on the cafeteria street, the eyes of the young ladies sitting inside and outside the shops, grabbing a quick bite, focused on me.
At this point, I was in "fun game mode" regarding this attention. I strolled around with a slight erection, basking in the gazes of these high-born noble ladies!
"W-What on earth is... that in his pants?"
"S-Surely that isn't... what I think it is?"
"How suspicious. It's so suspicious...!"
Every time I passed a shop, the girls whispered loudly enough for me to hear.
Gaze all you want, ladies.
I exerted my presence, flaunting my erect cock as I performed the Commoner's Domination Step!
"Have you heard? That commoner is a monster who snapped a whip with his bare hands...!"
"Oh my, is that true? No wonder... his physique is so large, it's quite terrifying..."
Hmm.
Is it because this is a girls' academy? Rumors sure travel fast. It seems the story about me breaking the whip has already spread far and wide among the students. Well, I suppose in a boring academy like this, something like that qualifies as a major incident.
"Is he really that strong...? A commoner?"
"He truly is a monster. Hmph..."
"He certainly does seem to have a lot of muscle..."
Oh?
Strangely, the way the girls were looking at me seemed to have changed. This morning, most of them would run away in horror the moment they saw me. Now, it was... how should I put it?
A mix of half-fear and half-curiosity. A somewhat complicated gaze.
I received looks like this often in my past life. By nature, females fear a strong male, but at the same time, they harbor a desire to submit! That is the female instinct. And no matter how much of a noble lady they are, they aren't devoid of that instinct!
Sniff, sniff.
I found a shop that smelled delicious! I walked right in.
Jingle...
The commoner has entered!
"Hiek!"
"A-A commoner just walked into our shop..."
"W-What could be his reason for coming to a place like this?"
I waved at the whispering girls and walked up to the shopkeeper. At the bakery earlier, they kicked me out saying a commoner would ruin business, but fortunately, they didn't throw me out here.
"...W-W-What... can I do for you?"
The clerk looked up at me, trembling. She was quite pretty, but my cock didn't budge an inch. She was a commoner.
"I'd like to have a Qi Circulation Meal."
"...Huh?"
"What's the best-selling menu item here?"
"Ah..."
The clerk exchanged glances with the other staff. It seemed they had decided to accept me as a customer.
"...T-The salami sandwich with Bordeaux cheese and a strong coffee is our most popular item."
I had no idea what that was just by hearing it. Let's just think of it as a sandwich set.
"Give me one of those."
"That will be 14 pennies."
"14 pennies, huh..."
I rummaged through my pockets. I felt a piece of cloth.
...Wait, these are the Imperial Princess's panties, right? I almost pulled them out. If I get caught with these, it's game over. My head would literally roll.
"You... do have money, don't you?"
"I do. Just wait a second."
Is there anything else? Anything else?
I felt something clinking. I pulled it out—it was a necklace. The one I picked up in the stable!
"...Can I use this?"
"No. Please exchange it for pennies first."
"There aren't any pawnshops around here."
"T-There is one. Over at the student council hall... though it's probably closed for the day."
So there is one. Well, this is an otherworld that doesn't even have paper money yet. It would be more problematic if there weren't any pawnshops.
"...If you don't have money, p-please leave."
"Man, life is tough. And I'm hungry."
"E-Even so, I can't give it to you without money."
"That's fair."
I turned to leave, figuring that complaining further would just make me a nuisance. The other noble ladies began gossiping behind my back, loud enough for me to hear.
"Look at that... Even though he was rejected, the commoner didn't go on a rampage."
"I heard commoners never buy things with money and only steal or take by force... To think he'd back off just because he has no money."
"Is it because he's being educated by Professor Shayla? He's different from other commoners."
Just how bad is the image of commoners in this world? I performed the common sense action of not buying food when I had no money, and my reputation actually went up. It's not like I'm some kind of hooligan...
Anyway, what now? I've been exerting myself all day, so I'm starving. If I don't get some proper protein, I'll lose my hard-earned muscle mass.
"Ohoho~♪ I have finally found you~!"
"?"
As I was turning to leave, someone blocked my path.
"What?"
I looked down. An incredible beauty was standing in my way.
At a glance, her dress was extravagant, and her accessories felt a level above the others. She had drill-curls and a tiara encrusted with jewels. She was a student who seemed desperate to scream, "I am a person of high status!"
"Do you have any idea how much trouble this maiden went through searching for you all day~? A commoner? But no matter, you are still within the palm of Lucia Maren III's hand~!"
She was even a "~sawayo" noble lady!
Throb, throb...!!
My cock went full mast instantly! My radar was telling me to fuck the woman in front of me right now! This girl clearly wasn't of ordinary status!
"I-It's Princess Lucia...!"
"W-Why would someone like her be in a humble place like this...!"
Princess? Did they just say Princess?
The other noble ladies eating in the shop all bowed their waists in respect. The commoner clerk went as far as prostrating herself on the floor.
"Everyone~! This Lucia has only come to meet this commoner~ Please continue your meals~!"
"Ah...!"
"T-Thank you, Princess Lucia."
Only after Lucia gave her permission did the noble ladies finally raise their heads. Is this the power of a Princess?
"Ohoho~♬ Commoner gentleman? Please look at this maiden~."
She called out to me without a hint of fear. It seemed I needed to teach her the greatness of a commoner.
"Me? For what reason?"
"Ugh...!?"
I stepped in close, enough for my shadow to fall over Lucia's face.
"Y-You are a much taller commoner than I thought..."
Was she slightly flustered?
"But that means nothing before Lucia Maren III~! Ohoho~♪"
She was a Princess overflowing with confidence!
Damn... I feel like I'm going to cry. It's been about two days since I arrived here! Finally, I've found a properly cocky young lady!
I want to fuck her right now! I want to give her a "true education" with my commoner cock! This insolent Princess...!
Gurgle...
"Ah."
"Ohohoho~♬ By the looks of it, you are unable to eat properly because you have no money~!"
Is she mocking me? This damn Princess?
"Staff member over there~? Please give this commoner gentleman something to eat~!"
"...Food?"
Wait a minute. This changes things.
"That is right~! Eating is the most basic desire of the people. First, please have your meal, and then we shall talk~!"
"I-I'll prepare it right away...!"
The staff suddenly became busy making sandwiches.
What's with this Princess? ...She's a much better person than I thought!
"H-Here are ten servings of sandwiches! Princess!"
"You may keep the change~! Ohohoho!"
*
"L-Look at that. Princess Lucia is... s-sitting at the same table as a commoner...!"
"Is it really alright for her to be alone with him like that?"
I didn't care what the passing noble ladies said. None of them bought me a single piece of bread!
Munch, munch, munch, munch.
As expected of food eaten by nobles? It was incredibly delicious! Since they were made for noble ladies, the sandwiches were cut into bite-sized pieces, so I just shoved two in at a time!
"Commoner gentleman~! There is plenty of food, so please eat as much as you like~!"
"Thank you...! Princess Lucia!"
Gratitude...! Overwhelming gratitude...! A noble lady who buys me food is a good noble lady!
"Ack, cough!"
I choked because I was eating too fast!
"Ohoho~♬ Here is some special black tea from Arantia~!"
Since I was choking, she even handed me tea. I downed it in one go. Was black tea always this delicious?!
"Kaaah."
For now, I accepted and ate everything she gave me. But now that my stomach was full, other thoughts started to surface. Who exactly was this Princess, and why was she suddenly being so nice to me?
"Are you finished eating~? Ohoho."
"Thank you for the meal, Princess."
I knelt on one knee and greeted her just as Shayla had taught me earlier. This person deserved respect! Because she gave me food!
"Hmph~ For a commoner, you are quite well-mannered~!"
"Now, Princess, would you tell me why you were looking for me? I'm sure you didn't call for me just to buy me a meal."
"Hmph~ You are a more perceptive commoner than you look~."
She wants something. Princess Lucia spoke while scanning my body from head to toe.
"This maiden has heard that the commoner gentleman possesses the strength of a giant~."
"That's true."
I did dump a ton of points into my Strength stat, after all.
"Could you lend your strength to this maiden~? This maiden desires the power to defeat Alicia~!"
"The power to defeat Alicia... you say?"
Who's Alicia? Ten to one it's the name of another noble lady. Some kind of rival?
"That is right~! If the commoner gentleman lends his strength... Ohoho~!"
Princess Lucia spoke with a meaningful smile. Don't tell me she's going to give me something? If the flow continues like this... it's probably...!
"This maiden shall grant you any wish you desire~!"
"Is sex an option!?"
If it's a wish... it has to be sex!
