Chapter 1510: We Have A Big Store Here?
On the last day of the school week, I had Astromancy in the morning before having the rest of the day free, which was quite nice to have since that left the rest of the day for myself.
Astromancy class was... Weird.
Well... I mean... It wasn’t just because the class was weird, though it was part of it.
The fact that the professor could transport the entire class into another dimension and make us float around in space is a pretty big deal.
It was definitely quite trippy to be taking the lesson while floating around in zero G.
But no, the actual weird part of the lesson was the fact that our professor, Professor Yvette, who was a red skinned Infrid, was completely naked aside from her professor robes that barely hid her body from the front and a pair of stockings and heels on her legs.
Yeah... It was quite hard for quite a lot of students to focus on the class... Especially when the professor’s tits were basically right in front of us as she floated around in zero G like we were.
While I was obviously surprised by her state of undress at first... It’s not like I’ve never seen boobs before so it didn’t really affect me much.
And no offense to her but... I think Lisa’s boobs are better than hers... So yeah, I wasn’t really distracted by it at all.
Right after classes ended, I suddenly found myself with nothing else to do.
After going through the entire week where every moment of the day was occupied with something on my schedule, I found the fact that my day suddenly being free of any commitments to be a little jarring.
Now I realise that I don’t really know what else I could do within the Academy grounds aside from just classes.
Unfortunately for me, my girls still have classes today so I won’t be able to hang out with them until lunch at the very least.
My first thought was to just visit the market district again so I just went ahead to use the teleportation array to teleport myself there.
It was still a little early in the day considering the fact that it was before lunch time but the market district was already quite packed with people crowding around the stalls.
Interestingly, it seemed like the entire place was filled with stalls that I did not see set up the first time I was here, where more stall owners have also decided to display their wares here.
Seems like I came at a time where more people would be out selling and buying wares.
Walking through the bazaar section, there seemed to be quite a lot of different goods this time and judging by the clothing that some of these people were wearing, they don’t look like locals here.
"Get your goods from Shendhalla here! Just arrived from Dunsang Trade Port!"
"Fresh goods from Anam City! Get it before it’s gone!"
"Trinkets and baubles from the mainland! Going for cheap!"
Ah... I see... I think an airship just docked this morning so these merchants literally came here to trade, selling things from outside the Academy to people here and most likely buying Academy goods that they will bring back to the mainland to sell.
Since there were new things on sale, I decided to just take a look around the market district since I was already here anyway.
Moving through the crowded bazaar, I perused most of the new stalls to see if they had anything I might want, though most of them were a miss.
Some of them were selling weird looking herbs which I thought Lisa might like so I bought a few of them. Another stall was selling a rather nice looking tea set so I got that for me and my girls to enjoy, and the stall next to it also happened to be selling some nice smelling tea leaves so I got those too.
I then smelled a rather familiar barbecue smell and followed it to the place where the Amrap sisters had set up their stall. It seems like they were not a permanent fixture here.
And as usual, there was a pretty long queue in front of their stall and they were all busy serving the customers their signature briskets.
Regina, the oldest sister, spotted me first since she was managing the line and controlling the crowd.
She smiled at me, "Good morning, Boss. No classes today?"
I shook my head, "I had morning classes but that’s all I have today. You girls seem busy."
She gave me a wry smile, "We kind of expected this kind of crowd when we came here so... It’s no big deal."
"How do you even balance this with your usual school work? You girls are also attending classes, right?"
"Ah, we’re not here everyday, boss. We only open on Friday... Err... I mean... On Finaday until Praday."
I couldn’t help but chuckle at her slip where she used our old World’s names for the day instead of this World’s.
Anyway, they basically just said that they only open on the weekends and Fridays, so just three days of the week.
And I’m assuming that the other four days aren’t usually filled up like mine since they shouldn’t be taking as many classes as me, which should give them plenty of time for rest.
"Have you had any problems with the locals?" I asked, worried that they might also be harassed since they were affiliated with us.
"Not at all, Boss. Ah, I heard about your situation too but... I don’t think others have linked us to you yet... Should we remain that way?"
I thought about it for a moment before shaking my head, "I’ll have to ask Emilia about that, she’s technically in charge of you girls, right?"
"I suppose she is."
She turned towards the stall, catching the eye of one of her younger sisters and gave them a nod before turning back to me.
"Go around the back, Boss. We have some extras that we leave behind for ourselves so feel free to take some. Maisie will pack some for you."
Well, I wasn’t going to say no to free food~
I skipped over to the place where she told me to get free food and I found Maisie standing behind the stall, the black haired Amrap busy dividing up the portions into containers that her sisters could then sell to the customers.
"Hello~" I greeted her, causing her to jump slightly in surprise before she relaxed when she saw it was me.
"Oh, Boss! Hello! What brings you here? Oh wait! Big sister sent you here right? Just give me a moment!"
She then started moving even faster as she packed the meat into the boxes before handing one of them specifically to me.
"Here you go, Boss! Enjoy!"
I took the container gratefully, already thinking about looking for a spot somewhere around here where I could eat this food in peace.
But before I could leave, Maisie spoke up again, "Do you want more Boss? Maybe for the new staff at the store as well?"
I paused and tilted my head at her, "New staff? Store? Erm... I don’t understand?"
She blinked at me, as though she had trouble understanding the fact that I did not understand her.
"The new store, Boss? The one that’s in the main street? I heard that Boss Emilia is setting up a new store there?"
"Eh? I thought we already had a store?"
"She recently renovated and expanded it even more. Umm... Did she not tell you?"
I mean... She did say that she had some business plans but she definitely did not share the details of those plans with me at least...
I guess I might as well just go and check it out.
"Is Emilia there right now?" I asked.
"Unn... I think she is? I’ve been here all morning so I’m not sure... But I did hear the people around the bazaar talking about the new store being opened at least?"
"In that case, could I have another packet of your meat?"
She beamed at me, "Of course, Boss! Coming right up!"
She quickly packed another serving of the meat and handed one of them to me with a grin.
As I took it from her, she held the box for a moment instead of letting go immediately, prompting me to tilt my head at her quizzically, wondering if something was wrong.
She blushed slightly before whispering in a voice that was almost inaudible, "Umm... Boss... When... When can we... Umm... You know... Umm..."
It took me a moment to realise what she actually wanted as I giggled, "Ehehe~ When do you girls close?"
She perked up and gave me a hopeful look, "We... We’ll be done just after lunch."
"In that case, I’ll come find you girls afterwards. Do you girls want to go back to the dorm or..."
Her blush intensified before she quickly hid her face with her hands, "Ahh... Umm... I’ll... I’ll let my sisters decide later..."
She’s actually pretty cute huh? Even though she’s actually bigger in size than I am~
Then again, I guess this applies to all her sisters too. And Odeta as well~
Anyway, I suppose I’ll have to come back and give the sisters some attention later.
But for now, there’s a store that I have to visit first~
