Having obtained an official classroom through Headmaster Neumann’s efforts, the lower class.
With the stir with Heinrich settled, it was at last time to show the inside of the Classroom Tower.
“Come, everyone. Shall we go into the classroom!”
“My, my~! Lady Ulrika’s classroom! How exciting!!”
“Headmaster… you look like you’re enjoying this more than anyone…”
And so the party stepped into the Classroom Tower.
✦ ✦ ✦
First, the first floor.
Opening the door and going in, a wide circular space spread out.
A door to the south, a large bulletin board to the north, lifts to the east and west.
And in the center, a statue of a woman was set.
The students filed into the Classroom Tower.
Then a glint of light came to the statue’s eyes.
«Good morning»
“Wha—it spoke!?”
“Mm! This is a ‘reception golem.’ I made it by combining creation magic and summoning magic.”
“A reception golem? I know of the monster called a golem… is it different from that?”
“A little different. Ordinary golems attack people at random. This golem, however, acts according to the role it’s been given.”
“Hoh? What sort of role have you given it?”
“It greets us at arrival and departure. If you ask a question, it will answer to a degree. And it will drive off outsiders.”
With a creak, the reception golem bowed.
«Everyone, I look forward to working with you»
“This is the first time I’ve seen an artificial golem of such sophistication.”
“Amazing facilities from the first floor.”
“Now then, the first floor is done! We’ll take the lift and look around the upper floors too!”
And so the party went up to the second floor.
✦ ✦ ✦
The second floor.
Stepping off the lift, a large circular classroom spread out.
Desks and chairs in rows. A spacious blackboard. A huge world map.
An open high ceiling, and even high windows with good airflow.
“Hooh~! This is quite a splendid classroom!”
“A world map! What I hoped for!”
“A high ceiling! Windows with good airflow! The ideal classroom!”
Seeing the splendid classroom, the students surged.
Charlotte and Charles, whose hopes had been reflected, looked very pleased.
“What a wonderful classroom! Here we can surely give wonderful classes!”
“Mm! I’m looking forward to Victoria’s classes.”
“Yes. Look forward to them.”
Having looked around the classroom, everyone gathered in front of the lift.
“A more wonderful classroom than I expected!”
“Lady Ulrika, there’s still more above, isn’t there?”
“Of course! We’ll go see the next one too!”
And so the party proceeded to the next floor.
✦ ✦ ✦
The third floor.
Stepping off the lift, a fresh, all-green space spread out.
A floor covered in green lawn. Pretty flowers of every color. Glass windows letting in sunlight.
And a lavish tea-table set placed in the center.
“Ulrika! Don’t tell me this is!”
“The ‘elegant tea-party classroom’ Charlotte hoped for!”
“Amazing, Ulrika! How wonderful!!”
Charlotte looked around the classroom, excited.
“A sense of openness you wouldn’t think was indoors! A gentle, calm air! A lavish tea-table set! Exactly the ideal ‘elegant tea-party classroom’!”
“Charlotte, we’re going to the next classroom soon.”
“Wait, Mother! Just one cup of tea to try—”
“Yes, yes, we’re going to the next~”
“Aahn, Mother~!”
And so Charlotte was dragged to the lift, sliding.
✦ ✦ ✦
The fourth floor.
Stepping off the lift, a space surrounded by masses of books spread out.
Masses of books filling the walls. The aisles too were all divided by bookshelves.
Look right or look left, all that met the eye was books.
“Ulrika, don’t tell me this is!”
“Mm! The ‘classroom of masses of research books’ Henry hoped for!”
“I knew it! Are these all research books!?”
“Mm. However…”
Lady Ulrika put on a slightly apologetic look.
“The books here are all Demon Realm research books.”
“Demon Realm research books!?”
“I don’t know much about human-world research books, so I had no choice but to use Demon Realm ones—”
“That’s no problem at all! If anything, it whets my interest!!”
In a great stir, Henry opened books at random.
“The best classroom! I’m moving in here!!”
“Come, Henry, we’re going to the next soon.”
“Please wait! I’ll read here—”
“Reading can come later~”
“That’s—the research book~s!”
And so Henry was dragged to the lift, sliding.
✦ ✦ ✦
The fifth floor.
Stepping off the lift, a rugged space of stone and metal spread out.
Equipment for training the body, weapons of all times and places, and a simple bath.
It was filled with the air of a men’s space.
“Miss Ulrika! Don’t tell me this is!”
“The ‘special muscle-enhancement classroom’ Charles mentioned!”
“Uooooh~! You granted my hope~!!”
Charles looked around the classroom, roaring.
“This is equipment for the biceps! This is the quadriceps! There’s even equipment for the back!!”
“Come, Charles, we’re going to the next soon.”
“Please wait! I’ll train—”
“Training can come later~”
“That’s—the training~!”
And so Charles was dragged to the lift, sliding.
✦ ✦ ✦
The sixth floor.
Stepping off the lift, there was—
“Greeeat Angel of the Suuun~
Beauteeeful, our princess~
Charlotte♪ Charlotte♪ Charlotte Anne Romuluss~
Charlotte♪ Charlotte♪ Charlotte Anne Ro~mu~lu~s~”
—a mysterious song, flowing from somewhere.
“What… is that song…”
“This is the ‘Angel of the Sun classroom’ Natasha mentioned!”
“Ulrika! You granted my hope too!”
“Lady Ulrika! You even granted Sasha’s hope?”
“Eh… Livi? My hope isn’t allowed to be granted…?”
“Eh… because Sasha, you only put out weird hopes…”
Olivia and Natasha looked at each other steadily.
The air was rather awkward.
“Hmm… I didn’t really understand what an ‘Angel of the Sun classroom’ was. For now I tried making Lottie feel divine.”
Looking at the middle of the room, a white marble statue in Charlotte’s shape stood.
“I… never want to come to this room again…”
Charlotte muttered it.
And then—
“Greeeat Angel of the Suuun~”
—from somewhere, the mysterious song flowed again.
✦ ✦ ✦
The seventh floor.
Stepping off the lift, a space packed with gold and silver treasure spread out.
Golden walls. A golden floor. A golden ceiling. And a throne adorned with jewels.
A classroom of supreme glitter, in ultra-nouveau-riche taste.
“Hey, Ulrika! Don’t tell me this is!”
“The ‘glittering gold classroom’ Beppo mentioned!”
“Amazing! Gold and treasure! The best!!”
Beppo looked around the classroom, eyes shining.
Charlotte watched that Beppo with a cold look.
“Beppo… this is far too bad taste…”
“Ugh… Lady Charlotte… but I like what I like. It can’t be helped…”
“Even so… far too bad taste…”
“Guh…”
Under a lingering gaze, sweat ran from Beppo’s forehead.
After staying silent a while, he slowly opened his mouth.
“C… come on, let’s go to the next floor…!”
And so, in an awkward air, the party left the “glittering gold classroom.”
✦ ✦ ✦
The eighth floor.
Stepping off the lift, a space like the Demon Realm spread out.
Mysterious creatures crawling on the ground. Mysterious creatures dancing in the air. Mysterious creatures clinging to the ceiling.
Creatures no one had ever seen, filling the room.
And in the middle of the room, a lavish kitchen was installed.
At the incomprehensible sight, everyone froze, mouths open.
“Lady Ulrika… what in the world is this…”
“This is Natasha’s ‘classroom of the world’s delicacies’! Combined with the lavish kitchen Olivia hoped for!”
“Is it true, Ulrika! Are all these creatures delicacies?”
“That’s right! I’ve let loose creatures considered delicacies in the Demon Realm.”
“Lady Ulrika… why, of all things, did you combine the kitchen I hoped for with Sasha’s mystery classroom?”
“Delicacies have to be cooked. Together with a kitchen is convenient, isn’t it?”
Hearing Lady Ulrika’s answer, Olivia crumpled from the knees.
Natasha, for her part, was already going after the mystery creatures.
“Now then, the next classroom! Next is—”
Queen Victoria caught Lady Ulrika hard as she tried to go to the next floor.
“Wait a moment, Ulrika-chan. How many classrooms did you make?”
“Hmm… I don’t know! I stuffed everyone’s hopes in, at any rate.”
Hearing that, Queen Victoria clapped her hands.
“All right! That’s enough for today!!”
“What’s that!? There are still more classrooms…”
“If we look at all of them the sun will set. Let’s leave the rest for another time.”
And so, by Queen Victoria’s forced ending, the tour came to a close.
