A Reincarnated Mage's Tower Dungeon Management

Volume 2, Chapter 7 – Apprentice Mage Elsie Appears!

After recognizing an intruder has come, Belle and I transferred ourselves to the third floor to see our first victim. However, something unexpected happened.

“You……”

I suddenly leaked my voice upon seeing the woman trapped within.

The reason is simple though. This woman – I remember her.

Of course, I said remember, as we’re not in that deep relationship of some sort. She’s on the level of an acquaintance, at max.

“Senpai……I found you at last1!”

Blonde hair tied in twintails. Age, about three years younger than me.

Her name was Elsie.

She’s a Mage Apprentice, and currently should be attending in our Mage Academy as a high school student.

“Gilles, do you know each other?”

“Well, more or less”

“More or less?”

“He’s a junior of mine when I was still a student. That said, I was not really a member of any clubs or some sort, so she’s simply put just an underclassman. She was in middle school when I was already in high school, as far as I can remember”

“Gilles went to school? That’s unexpected”

Wow, other than the woman in front of me, someone has hit me in an unexpected place. Well, the unexpected place is my pride though.

Still, I don’t think Belle meant no harm.

She just couldn’t imagine that I, who was dubbed as the “Degenerate Archmage” went to a school of learning. Now that I look at it, that’s even more ouch to my pride.

“I got no choice back then. It was an order from the country itself. All in just to assure them that I won’t go astray”

“But you never really attended the classes, did you?”

“Of course, I did at first. But the teachers were biased around me, and even though I got full marks, they always give the worst evaluation. They sucked. Why shall I attend more?”

“Heeeh~ But looked to me that you had real fun with it”

Wait, was that a sarcasm? Hey Belle, what are you getting in a bad mood for?

“So, why did you come here?”

Belle turned her cheeks to Elsie who was caught in the trap. By the way, the trap was a narrow pitfall, and she was trapped from her chest down.

“Elsie came to see her senpai!”

“You mean Gilles?”

Belle then looked at me. She’s giving that interrogating look.

I shrugged my shoulders in response. Then,

“This girl, she’s in love with me”

but Elsie loudly denied it.

“T-that’s not true! Elsie was senpai’s……I hate you, I hate you, I hate hate hate hate you so much!”

“Oh, I can see that now. Ufufu”

Elsie swayed fully in denial, but Belle only laughed at her actions even more.

“Hey hey, when did you start hating me?”

“From that day onwards!”

“That day?”

“You forgot!?”

Nope. Don’t remember. Can’t do.

“The only thing I could remember was when she was still in middle school. Also, her boobs were this small that time. but, she was still ongoing puberty. The only thing I didn’t expect is her chest. Her chest! Growing from that dumpling to a melon is just too much!”

“Hey pervert, your thoughts are leaking”

“Oops, that was close”

Still, her chests were no doubt like no other.

She was almost completely buried to the ground from her chest below, but thanks to her breasts “clogging” the hole, she has prevented herself from falling in. However, because of that, her bazingas also shifted upwards, sandwiching them with her face altogether.

I really want to rub those melons while she was still incapable of moving, but let’s be patient for now.

“And, when is that day? I don’t know anything about this Gilles here, and he won’t tell me anything, so could you please try to explain?”

“………Before that, who are you?”

“Me? The Demon Lord”

“Huuuuh!? Th-the DEMON LORD!?”

For quite a small fellow, her reaction is pretty big.

“You’re so pretty! Also, your style is outstanding too!”

“Fuh. Fuh, fuh, I know, I know~”

“Why the heck were you praising her?”

Unable to hold on, I let out a tsukkomi.

“A-and what would be your relationship with senpai here?”

“Lover……nay, a couple would be better……what do you think?”

“Owner and pet. Of course, I am the owner”

I corrected Belle right away, but Elsie didn’t hear my words somewhat.

“S-senpai’s……lover?”

“That’s right! He said he wanted to have a peaceful and proper life, as he was tired of always being treated as a problem child even way back at school, so when we me he decided to live out the rest of our lives together in seclusion!”

“Just ignore what she said, Elsie. She’s just lying to you.”

But when I said that, Elsie immediately glared at me.

Then, she shouted.

“You liar!!”

Well, I did talk a lot of lies, so I won’t deny that part.

However, did I ever lie to Elsie to begin with? I’m not sure.

I really haven’t had much interactions with this girl.

“You……you really didn’t remember anything”

“Sorry”

“This Elsie told to senpai…… even though she told this already to senpai……”

“What was it?”

“That Elsie wants to be your pupil!”

“……”

Nope, I don’t think I remember that at all……

On the other hand, Bell gazed at me, as if speaking the word “really?” out loud.

“……I’m sorry. I really can’t remember”

“Turning me down like this, so horrible! I’m really hurt!”

“Hmmm, where did I met this girl……”

I was pretty sure it was in the courtyard of the school……

I was sleeping on the lawn as usual, when a woman with tiny breasts showed up before me all of a sudden.

She said many things without caring about by response at all, but to summarize it looked like she wanted to be my pupil.

However, I don’t take disciples.

I explained Elsie that, however she didn’t buy it, and instead glared at me more.

“May I know the reason why?”

“Reason?”

It’s bothersome!

I didn’t really say that out loud, but if I were to, I would bet bitten for sure.

“I’m sorry, but I just don’t have a thing with girls with such small breasts”

That was I said back then.

At that time, Elsie ran for god knows where with tears in her eyes.

A few years passed since then.

Now, Elsie has come again, now with massive jugs before me.

“Senpai, Elsie’s breast got bigger now! I massaged them a lot, ate meat a lot, and worked my hardest every day!”

“A-ah, yeah. You really became so much more chest-I mean breathtaking in a way”

I mean, I could already see how big it was from the clothes she’s wearing – that revealed her cleavage wide-open.

“So the Demon Lord over there is my senior pupil now? Her boobs are certainly big!”

“She certainly have big boobs, but she’s not my pupil”

“Of course I don’t. Why would I want to become Gilles’ pupil?”

“Gugugu……! Still, does senpai want this Elsie to be your pupil now?”

“No way”

When I refused, Elsie went in tears just like that time she ran away.

“Uweeeeeeenn~ This really made Elsie saaaaaad!”

“Elsie, why do you want to become Gilles’s pupil anyway?”

“You don’t know? Senpai is a genius-level mage! I want to receive tutelage from a wonderful mage like him!”

“Now that’s the part I can believe. His personality may have a bit of a problem, but I must admit, his magic is out of this world”

“Of course, of course!”

Looks like Belle and Elsie had hit a common point.

“Gilles, her boobs grew bigger now. How about taking her in?”

“Eh……”

What the hell. I don’t want to deal with her. She’s a hassle. I want to be free. I’m a free spirit after all.

Shut up, shut up! I have to do something about this fellow.

“I hate you senpai…… I really hate you! If you don’t take me as your pupil……I’ll kill you!”

I just rejected you to become my pupil and now you want to kill me for it? What am I going to do with you……

……Hm? Wait a moment.

Perhaps……I could make her “participate” for some experiment.

“Elsie, do you hate me?”

“I hate you”

“What if I tell you that I’ll be willing to take you as my pupil if you let me give love to you?”

“I refuse!”

Oh? She didn’t want to be embraced by yours truly. This is unexpected……no, this is convenient.

“Ah, that stupid smile again”

“Why is my smile stupid? Also, I just came up with something interesting.”

“What is it?”

I whispered to Belle’s ear.

“……That’s how it is. Belle, can you teleport me and Elsie together later?”

“Well, it’s not that I got a problem with it. Still, you already know……alright?”

“When we’re done, Ill love you too, so don’t worry”

When I said that, Belle happily nodded.

Now then.

“Elsie, I’m sorry”

“Why did you apologize all of a sudden?”

“You came to this tower because you were chasing me, weren’t you? I want to pay tribute to that guts of yours”

“S-senpai?”

I approached Elsie then knelt down on one knee.

“I’ll help you know. So, don’t worry and entrust yourself to me”

I decided to rescue Elsie, complete with likes from a handsome prince of a fairy tale.

Now then, what would a handsome geek-from-previous-life do from here on?

Translator Notes:

1. Elsie (Junior/Kouhai) speaks in a respectful tone to Gilles (Senior/Senpai), as Japanese culture put emphasis on seniority over all other matters. This tone is lost in the translation though as there aren’t any forms of it in English for me to localize. Other translators usually add -desu at the end of the sentences (In which Elsie too speaks the similar way) but it’s really weird in English. So I didn’t do that. Same reason I’m keeping the Senpai-Kouhai terms – it looks really weird when translated as such, when English culture don’t give a fuck about seniority at all.
