Atelier Tanaka

Book 6: Chapter 1 (2)

Lolita and Bitch

Sophie-chan sat across from Goggoru-chan.

She was easily within Goggoru-chan’s ability range.

However, it’s bothersome to explain this every time, so I’m going to remain silent this time. Goggoru-chan promised that she won’t tell anybody what she’s learned through her ability so, as friends, shouldn’t I trust her?

“...”

The word ‘friends’ isn’t something I’ve used since entering my thirties. It’s not something I’ve thought about much or even realized had become completely replaced by ‘career’ later in my life. The world is a tough place, isn’t it? Such is the fate of those living in such a competitive society.

I decided to take a seat beside Goggoru-chan.

“Why is there a Goggoru here?”

“We have a sort of connection and will be working together going forward.”

She had her normal ‘bitch’ persona on and asked this question with a look in her eyes that reminded me of Goggoru-chan. The number of downer-kei lolis has doubled and so has the destructive power of their cold stares. (TN: ダウナー系 or Downer-kei/style is something I’ve never heard of before. Only thing I could find on it is a visual kei band from 2008 and a random hentai doujinshi, so, yeah. Based on context, I think it’s referencing the emotionless gaze that Rocoroco and Sophie constantly have.)

The only difference is that Goggoru-chan’s stare feels natural and unforced while Sophie-chan’s eyes seem almost too perfect as if she’s putting on an act.

I have a sincere desire to experience a simultaneous blowjob that allows my to be stared at by those eyes.

“What did you want to talk about?”

“...”

Sophie-chan’s gaze shifted to Goggoru-chan after hearing my question.

Should I ask her to leave? But, considering who she is, it’s likely she’s already read Sophie-chan’s mind and knows everything already. However, I also need to know the situation and I’d like to hear it from Sophie-chan herself.

“Is it something you don’t want her to hear?”

“..it’s fine.”

She hesitated for a moment before finally continuing.

“It might actually help having someone else listen.”

“All right.”

She’s fine with Goggoru-chan hearing, but what is this all about?

She’s shown up at my home in the middle of the night, so it must be something important. This isn’t the type of girl to waste time doing something she has no interest or investment in. There’s no doubt in my mind that it’s something personal to her.

“What is it?”

“I want us to get married.”

“..married?”

I was caught off guard initially, but I quickly understood her reasoning.

Of course.

Why else would she come here this late?

“To help join the Bitch Family with the FitzClarence family?”

“Thank you for understanding so quickly.”

“Did your father ask you to do this?”

“You’re right.”

It seems the union between this new baron and Richard has already been revealed to Sophie-chan’s father. I’m sure Earl Bitch has some spies or informants working amidst the FitzClarence family’s servants. There’s no other reason for her and her father to know about this or that I’ve returned to the capital.

I can’t help but wonder what kind of parent decides to marry off his daughter so suddenly. I feel sorry for both of them. Maybe I can boil the dirt beneath Richard’s fingernails and have Earl Bitch drink it. (TN: This is a japanese idiom. It essentially means even the dirt beneath a great person’s fingernails contains greatness.)

“This puts you in a difficult position, Sophie-san.”

“Yes.”

“Do you have a choice?”

“Daughters of noble families rarely have a say in who they marry.”

“..of course.”

I kind of like that about the nobility.

But I don’t want my marriage to be to second-hand goods. I want to marry someone that I can share all of my firsts with; someone that thinks about me as much as I think about them. How could I accept Allen’s personal penis receptacle?

“Do I have a choice?”

“Aren’t you the same Baron Tanaka that tried to court me before?”

“Did that ever happen?”

“It’s fine. I think we’re of the same opinion on the matter.”

She’s probably talking about how I asked her to pretend to be my lover at the FitzClarence’s party. That’s actually pretty funny. I failed at getting her to be my pretend girlfriend and now the universe is forcing us to become husband and wife.

“But it seems like Earl Bitch has made his decision.”

“I don’t think Father is necessarily wrong.”

“Still, would he do that to his own daughter? Richard-san has given me a different idea of how the nobility treat their children.”

“My parents aren’t nearly as devoted to their children as Ester’s.”

“..I see.”

Considering everything I know about Sophie-chan, this makes perfect sense. She is the textbook definition of a girl that has not received enough love and attention from her parents. That’s why, rather than relying on a close friend or family member, she craves the attention of her fans and resorts to whatever means necessary to get it.

This is how her idol bitch persona was born.

“Maybe Duke FitzClarence will be pleased to hear that we’re engaged. It will give him a reason to put distance between you and Ester and, as long as my family is a member of his faction, I see no reason for him to object.”

“That does make sense.”

But this is a big deal, Earl Bitch.

Aren’t you expecting too much of a new baron?

And a foreigner at that.

“Thank you for informing me of the situation, Sophie-san.”

“..I didn’t do much.”

“It might be worthwhile for me to speak to Earl Bitch myself.”

“I don’t think that will be possible for a while.”

“Has he left on business?”

“That or any other reason he can come up with not to see you.”

“Right...”

“Our only option is to discuss this with Duke FitzClarence.”

“I see. That does seems like the best course of action.”

Well, I suppose it’s fine to leave it at that for tonight. This is the way this world works and I’ve found myself in the middle of a nobleman’s quarrel. If this bitch loli’s father tries to make an issue out of it, I still have the right to decide.

I’m not sure what Earl Bitch thinks, but I know I don’t have the political power to defeat Ester-chan’s father. I think he might be misunderstanding our power dynamic.

“Are you going to go home for the night? We can meet up tomorrow.”

“I’m staying here tonight.”

“You are?”

“That’s what I was ordered to do.”

“Of course you were...”

And Goggoru-chan has been sitting here silently this entire time.

I’m sorry, Goggoru-chan. I know I promised to talk with you and I’ve been sexually harassing you nonstop, so I’d like to fulfill my side of the agreement. I like to give as much as I receive.

“Then, I’ll get a room prepared for you.”

But, I can at least do this for you, chocololi. Someone else to talk with that’s not going to mentally sexually harass you. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it more than talking with this virgin.

“My maid is currently away so it might take me some time. If it’s okay with you, please, talk with her while I’m gone. I know you’re aware that she’s a member of the Goggoru tribe, but I assure you, she’s a good person.”

“Okay.”

Sophie-chan gave me a nod as I turned to leave the living room.

***

I changed the sheets, got some towels for their bath, made some more arrangements, and, finally, had two rooms made up for my guests. Goggoru-chan will be sleeping in Sophia-chan’s room for the night.

I’ll get pajamas for the both of them from Sophia-chan’s room too. Honestly, I’d like to offer them both only a simple button up shirt of mine. They’d obviously decline so I can’t make that offer. And I’d be devastated if they told me the shirts smell.

It was at this time that something happened.

An explosion coming from the living room.

“Wha...”

What happened?

I ran from the room and arrived in the living room in a panic.

I was met by the sight of Sophie-chan collapsed on the ground. She didn’t appear to be injured, but her face was in agony. Something had caused her to hit the floor with some force.

Goggoru-chan was still sitting on the sofa as she looked down at her. She hadn’t moved much since I was last here, the only indication of any action on her part was her slightly raised arm that suggests she used some sort of magical attack.

“W-What happened?”

“I don’t like talking to this woman.”

Goggoru-chan was the one that answered.

She spoke in her usual, uninterested tone, but that still doesn’t answer my question.

“No, umm, even if you don’t like it...”

What am I going to do?

I can understand how someone would think Sophie-chan is unpleasant to talk to. Honestly, the idol bitch isn’t that likeable. For a busamen like me, she has other redeeming qualities, but those qualities may not be able to be appreciated by someone of the same sex.

That being said, Goggoru-chan really isn’t in a position where she can be picky of her conversation partners.

I don’t have high hopes for her future if she so quickly resorts to using magic on someone she doesn’t like.

“Are you okay, Sophie-san?”

“..I also dislike that Goggoru.”

“I-I see.”

Sophie-chan sat up on the floor. The position she shifted to exposed her thighs and offered me a brief glimpse of her panties. Her idol-like knight attire wasn’t too far off from an outfit an actual idol group would wear. This idol-like attire served to further enhance my reward of seeing her plump thighs.

I have no doubt that this was all calculated.

It’s a vulnerable pose that demands any man must protect her.

Even though I’m able to so clearly understand this, I can’t help but stare at her. It’s so erotic. Her body is far from what you’d expect from a normal noble woman that has grown complacent eating sweets and having others do everything for them. She has a toned body with enough muscle to be visible but not take away from the soft curves of a woman’s body.

Every action she takes and every curve of her body reminds you that she’s a woman. And that vertical crease on her panties reminds me as well. Is it possible she’s learned how to control her body to the point that she can create such a crease at will.

I can’t help it. I have to do something. Heal, let the pain go away.

“Are you feeling better.”

“..you have my gratitude.”

But what happened between these two?

I was only gone for a few minutes.

It can’t just be a simple misunderstanding.

“We weren’t apart for that long. What did you two talk about to cause this? I think it’s best we try to clear this up now before allowing relations between you to worsen.”

I asked this with a slight hope that there was still a chance of fixing things, but...

“I don’t want to talk to that woman.”

“I don’t want to talk to that Goggoru.”

“Even if you say that...”

I don’t know what to do.

Now that I think about it, I really don’t know anything about Goggoru-chan. I can’t imagine what she does for fun or as a hobby, what she thinks about me or anyone else, or even what she’s done in her past. Considering she’s not even human, it’s highly unlikely her real age is anywhere near the age she appears to be.

Maybe I should put in some effort to learn more about her.

That will also help with our future conversations.

“She attacked me unprovoked.”

“...”

“And she didn’t have to chant either so I had no time to set up a barrier.”

“Doesn’t that mean you’re just weak?”

I don’t really care about the reasons.

But I don’t want them to fight. Fighting between lolis is a waste.

The only time women are allowed to fight is when they’re fighting over whose turn it is to use a man’s penis.

“All right. I’ll just take you to your room for the night, Sophie-san.”

“That’s not good enough.”

“I’m sure you’re upset, but can we please call it for the day? I’ll listen to your side of the story and her side separately. I won’t decide anything until I hear you both out.”

“..fine.”

“Your room is at the end of the hall on the right.”

“I’m not staying here.”

“Eh..? Are you sure you can go home?”

“I’m not sure of many things, but I want to see if your actions can back up your words before I decide anything myself.”

“R-Right.”

Sophie-chan staggered to her feet.

She offered one final bitch remark before walking away. She disappeared from sight behind the door and, shortly after, her footsteps faded as well. She really did leave.

After confirming that she was gone, Goggoru-chan said,

“..there is always someone stronger.”

“That’s not enough for me to make a decision.”

“...”

She must have read something from Sophie-chan to make her react in such a way.

I don’t know what to do.

I can speak from personal experience what dark thoughts can fill someone’s mind. Even now, I’m imagining Goggoru-chan being gangbanged by dozens of men. Goggoru-chan filled to the point of overflowing is the most adorable.

It’s possible that this pure minded chocololi had a negative reaction to the dirty bitch thought-filled mind of Sophie-chan and attacked her because of it. I don’t think anyone can prepare themselves for such a direct injection of concentrated bitch.

“...”

Oh her eyebrows suddenly raised.

It seems I’m on the right track.

Thank you, Goggoru-chan. I love you.

This might actually be a good time for us to talk.

As a man, I’d love for her to say I kept her up all night.

“Do you want to talk like we planned?”

“...”

“What’s wrong?”

“..what about that woman?”

She was looking at the door Sophie-chan left through.

“I don’t know what happened, but I know you’re not a bad person.”

“..right.”

“Yes, I am right.”

Goggoru-chan didn’t say anything else.

I hope she understands but I’m not sure.

But I was the one that wanted to end this for the night.

More important than that, I don’t want to have Sophie-chan’s pantyshots or her thighs be ruined for me by finding out that real answer. There are many things in this world that should remain unknown. In order for me to be able to happily enjoy the lower half of the idol bitch’s body, I don’t want to know any more.

“Do you want to go to bed for the night?”

“Don’t stop. Talk lots. Hurry.”

“Of course.”

I’ll do my best to entertain her tonight so that she can enjoy herself.

A night spent alone with Goggoru-chan.

Maybe she’ll use this opportunity to reverse rape me.

“..I won’t.”

“I already know that but don’t ruin this for me.”

“...”

I hope Goggoru-chan reverse rapes me someday.
