The Absolute Godspeed of Infinite Worlds

Chapter 12: [12] A Sugar Mommy Can Give Me a Better Sword



Knock! Knock! Knock!

Just as the room was almost tidied up, a slow and rhythmic knocking sound suddenly rang out, causing the two to pause their work.

His senior sister was busy helping him set up the bed and unpack daily necessities, while Eiji watched her work.

When his senior sister asked him whether he wanted the top or bottom bunk, he chose the bottom bunk without hesitation. Now, his senior sister was bent over in front of him, her short skirt unable to cover much.

White, slightly large, firm, and good for childbearing.

Eiji silently praised in his heart.

Both of them were busy.

"Coming!"

Hearing the knocking, his senior sister responded and went to open the dormitory door.

"Kanata, why are you here?"

Eiji turned to look and saw a lady with a very British style.

She was a woman completely enveloped in a pure white gown, wearing white lace gloves, with not an inch of skin exposed.

For some reason, even though it wasn't a sunny day, she held a parasol in her hand and wore a wide-brimmed hat, hiding her face under the parasol and hat. From Eiji's angle, he could only see the smooth, golden hair cascading down her chest and a clean jawline.

Just her appearance alone gave off an elegant, aristocratic vibe, along with an air of mystery.

"Touka, the student council work is about to start. Everyone noticed you hadn't arrived, so they sent me to find you."

The girl named Kanata answered Touka's question unhurriedly, her gaze peeking out slightly from under the parasol, revealing a pair of clear, emerald-green eyes.

Her eyes swept into the room, immediately landing on Eiji, who was sitting idly on the sofa.

"Is that your junior brother? I heard he defeated the new Director in the training field yesterday?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Upon hearing this, Touka's face lit up with pride.

"Junior brother, this is my close friend Kanata I mentioned earlier. Her full name is Kanata Totokubara. Why are you still sitting there? That's so rude. Hurry up and stand..."

"Hello."

Eiji obediently stood up, offering a polite smile.

Totokubara?

This surname sounded familiar, not from something he'd read, but more like something he'd heard before. However, Eiji couldn't quite recall where he'd heard it.

Handsome!

Kanata was instantly awestruck by Eiji's smile, her hand holding the parasol trembling slightly.

Even though it was just a polite smile, when it came from a handsome face, it felt exceptionally warm and friendly. On the other hand, if someone unattractive smiled like that, no matter how sincere, it would immediately be interpreted as malicious.

So, in human interactions, attitude isn't the key—face is.

"...Good day."

Kanata steadied her hands, trying to calm her shaken heart.

"Is this a recent move-in?"

Her gaze shifted to the messy bed as she asked.

"Right, because junior brother was injured yesterday, things got delayed, and we haven't finished tidying up yet. Sorry, Kanata, could you let everyone know that I'll be there as soon as I finish helping junior brother settle in?"

Touka clasped her hands together, looking apologetic as she made her request.

"You're the student council president. There's no need to plead with me."

Kanata shook her head, causing her golden hair to sway gently.

"If you're busy, it's fine to be a bit late. I'll make sure Renren and Taka-chan work properly. I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, she turned and walked toward the stairs, her movements as graceful as if she were attending a banquet.

Just yesterday, this had been her room. She had been Touka's roommate for nearly two years, but in just one day, she had been replaced. Moreover, Touka's earlier words made it seem like Eiji was the master of this room... Even if he was handsome, it still left her feeling somewhat displeased.

Before leaving, she glanced once more at the scene inside the room.

Suddenly, Kanata's delicate brows, hidden under the parasol, furrowed slightly.

She looked at Touka, then at Eiji, who was lounging idly. She wanted to say something, but the words caught in her throat.

'I'm an outsider. It's not my place to say such things.'

With this thought, she left the seventh student dormitory.

***

Inside the dormitory.

Eiji sat back down on the sofa, lying down lazily.

"Senior sister, do you have any water? I'm a bit thirsty."

"Just a moment."

His senior sister went into the kitchen, filled a cup with water, and then a faint spark of electricity appeared on her fingertips, quickly boiling the water. She placed the cup on the table in front of the sofa.

His senior sister's ability was Natural Interference-type lightning control, which was extremely powerful. Combined with her exceptional swordsmanship, she had secured her position as the strongest in the academy.

"Was it necessary to boil it?"

Eiji looked at the steaming cup of water, his face full of disbelief.

"Sorry, I forgot."

His senior sister blinked, showing an embarrassed smile.

"Wait, I think there's some ice in the fridge..."

She ran to the fridge, rummaged around, and then dropped two ice cubes into the cup.

Putting ice in boiling water? A bit strange.

"Phew..."

After adding the ice, the water temperature dropped rapidly. Eiji blew on it a few times before finally picking up the cup.

"By the way, senior sister, who is Kanata Totokubara?"

Eiji suddenly remembered the sense of familiarity he had with the Totokubara surname and asked his senior sister.

"My former roommate... Do you prefer white or sky-blue bedsheets?"

His senior sister continued making the bed, not turning her head as she replied.

"White, I guess. No, I mean, does she have any background?"

"Oh, that. Kanata is the heiress of the Totokubara conglomerate."

"???"

Eiji was instantly filled with question marks, almost spitting out his water.

'She's a super sugar mommy?!'

The Totokubara conglomerate.

It was one of the few super conglomerates in Japan, with industries spanning real estate, hotels, healthcare, and more. Its achievements in charitable foundations were particularly admired and praised nationwide.

In this world of 'Chivalry of a Failed Knight,' Japan's largest conglomerate was the Fuurinkazan conglomerate, the economic leader of the country. Following closely was the Totokubara conglomerate. Both were world-class capital groups, controlling almost half of the nation's economic lifeline.

And Kanata Totokubara was the heiress of the Totokubara conglomerate, the biological daughter of the current family head.

"Junior brother, you know I grew up in an orphanage called 'Wakaba no Ie.' Wakaba no Ie is actually a facility under the Totokubara conglomerate, so Kanata and I have known each other since childhood. We often played together and have stayed close ever since."

That's right, his senior sister, Touka, was also an orphan.

However, unlike Eiji, who had been an orphan since birth, his senior sister became an orphan after her parents passed away from illness. That's why she was especially concerned about the health of those around her and loved taking care of others.

So, his senior sister and Kanata Totokubara were childhood friends.

In that moment, Eiji began contemplating the possibility of being pampered by the sugar mommy, Miss Kanata.

As the saying goes, women might dull my sword, but a sugar mommy can give me a better sword!
