Chapter 239: The Others

The boss girl then prostrated herself before me, smashing her head against the floor shouting, "Please let me serve you!"

That sudden turn of events was so shocking that I heard a large plate full of food clatter to the floor. I knew exactly who did that, but was too stunned to react, and I didn’t honestly care about it anyways.

But this? Having this girl suddenly submit to me as she did, was not something I was expecting to see or encounter.

Why exactly is she doing this?

"B-Boss?" One of her cronies muttered in shock. "Wh-What are you doing?"

The prostrated girl ignored everyone else and looked up at me with dreamy eyes and a silly smile that bordered on obsessive.

"Please! Let me serve you!" She kept on begging to serve me, whatever that meant.

"..." I looked down at her with some contempt and let go of the woman that I was holding onto to her relief.

I said nothing as I then slithered past her, not caring for her plea and just ignoring her.

I left the dining hall and booked it for my room, but as I turned a corner, I accidentally bumped into some one and fell onto the floor. I got up and immediately apologised.

"Sorry about that, I just wanted to get back to my room as soon as possible."

"Ugh, it’s whatever. So long as you’re sorry." The person before me replied in a gruff yet somewhat feminine voice.

And when I got a good look at her, I noticed that she had a much darker skin tone compared to most serpentine with skin. And on top of that, she had grey hair and a darker grey shade of scales, with some patches being almost black in colour.

She also had nice set of bouncy boobs and a girthy pair of dicks down below. Another odd feature I noticed was her fang. Her singular fang that would indicate that she’s a Naga.

"Woah, you’re a weird one." I commented out loud by accident.

And before I could apologise for my rudeness, she just shrugged it off saying, "Yeah, I get that a lot. I’m used to it by now."

The way she carried herself shows that she is very mature for someone in this place. Much like myself actually. Like me, she was forced to mature due to her circumstances, whatever they may be.

"Name’s Ashtraz by the way, but you can just call me Ash."

"Oh uh, mine’s Traytora." My replied courteously. To a degree.

"Nice to meet you Traytora. You’re not like the other girls in here. And the one guy. You’re special, like me." And with that weird and mysterious statement, she left in the direction of the dining hall.

Leaving me to go back to my room and call it a night for today.

When I woke up the next day, I woke up in my room, on my bed. No one had broken into my room, probably because they didn’t know it was mine, as I suspect that some people would’ve done so.

Anyways, I looked around and found a grandfather clock in my room which I never noticed before. And it was displaying what I believed to be the current time, which was around eight in the morning.

Getting out of bed, I slipped my tail off and hoisted myself upright and headed over to the desk to check my hair.

It was a bit scruffy, and I would’ve brushed it clean but I didn’t have a hairbrush, not was there one provided by the orphanage as all the drawers were empty.

The room was furnished and had replacement bed sheets in the wardrobe, but apart from that, nothing else was provided to me. Not even a toothbrush.

Not that I actually need a toothbrush since my saliva is more than capable of cleaning my mouth on its own, but still.

I sighed and just resorted to brushing my hair with my hand, which worked to some degree, but you could clearly tell that I didn’t put much effort or care into it as I was still somewhat scruffy looking.

Once that was done, I looked at the time and saw that ten minutes hadn’t even passed and I didn’t want to go get breakfast just yet.

So for now, I would just unload some of my stuff from my [Spatial Storage]. And I began with my Maps. I just put them into one of the drawers in my desk. Except for the one that detailed the city, I would keep that on person at all times.

The only other things that I had in my Storage were a pile of mostly magically enchanted clothes, which I didn’t want to put out on display, so I only put away my normal clothing.

There was also the last couple of potions I got from the Dungeon, but I wouldn’t be drinking them anytime soon. If at all ever.

Then there were my gold pouches. They ain’t ever leaving my storage unless I need them.

As for everything else that’s in there... I still have the stuff Kronia gave to me... I forgot to give them back... If we ever meet again, I’ll make sure to pay her back for them.

Then there’s all the stuff from the inheritance as well as the auction that I need to deal with. I won’t do anything with them here as I don’t feel like that’s a good idea. Either way, none of that stuff will ever be leaving my [Spatial Storage] unless I want to use it.

So, ultimately, apart from the maps and my clothes, I don’t really have anything to take out and put into my new room.

And only about twenty minutes passed, meaning that it was now around half past eight...

Guess I’ll go and get breakfast now since I have nothing better to do.

When I arrived inside the dining hall, there weren’t nearly as many people as last night, in fact, there were less than when I came in last night.

There was at most like twenty people in here. Most of them all frantically rushing to finish their breakfast before rushing out. Most likely to get to school sooner.

I went over and this time got a medium sized plate, of which there were more of now than last night. Around double to be specific. And also around half as many large plates as well.

And I can see why. After all, what’s the point of putting out large plates if they’re not going to get used for a meal.

And typically, breakfasts aren’t as big as dinners either, so I can understand having more manageable portions, which would mean smaller plates as compared to other meals.

Anyways, I grabbed whatever was left over and filled my plate up and went to sit down and eat.

Half of the people looked at me with the same expressions I saw on people last night and it made me uncomfortable once again.

"Don’t you people have to go to school?" I said in an attempt to make them ignore me, and to my surprise, it actually worked and they went back to frantically eating.

I then noticed Ashtraz sitting not far away from me, and she was talking to someone else.

And that someone appeared to be a Serpentar. A male Serpentar. That must be the one guy she spoke of last night.

The guy seemed to have finished eating as he got up and left. Ashtraz then noticed me looking and motioned for me to come over and sit with her.

So I took her up on her offer.

I sat down and asked her as I began eating my breakfast, "So, that the guy?"

"Yup, that’s him. The only guy in the orphanage somehow." She confirmed.

"Huh... Surprised to see a Serpentar here, let alone a male one."

"Yeah, I was surprised at first too, but apparently his mother was a noble Lamia who had an affair with a Serpentar." Ashtraz explained.

I stopped eating to comment, "Ouch. That must’ve been a rough time for him. Growing up in that environment."

"Well, the thing is, his mother secretly sent him here in order to protect him. Or so he says."

"Huh... I... Don’t know what to say." I just resorted to resume eating.

"That’s fine, neither did I. And he’s cool about it. He prefers it here after all, even if he misses his mother."

"That’s tough..."

"Yeah... this whole world is. Sometimes feels like it’s out to get you for now reason other than to make you suffer." She spat out with disdain.

"Yeah... It does..."

"... Enough about that sad crap. Care to tell me your story whilst we eat? I don’t have classes until ten." She asked as she returned to eating her own breakfast.

"Sure, though, compared to how long I’ve lived for, there’s not much to my story right now."

"Eh, not a big deal."

"It is, actually. Let me explain..."

And so, I explained my life story, from my mother dying, to my father leaving, to the massive fucking gap in my memories to recent happenings. Minus anything involving the Illuminati. And anything relating to the Divine... I left a lot out actually... It’s for the best though...
