"Alexander, this outfit is really pretty, but it feels a bit tight in the chest."
In the room, Tohka emerged after trying on new clothes. She was dressed in Kurumi's usual attire, which complemented her beauty perfectly.
However, her figure seemed slightly more endowed than Kurumi's, which made the fit less than ideal.
"I'm really sorry you have to wear my clothes," Kurumi said with a resigned sigh, feeling slightly embarrassed that her wardrobe fell short this time.
Watching Tohka curiously look around like a wide-eyed child, Alexander could only shake his head with a helpless smile. "Alright, Kurumi, no need to feel bad about it. Besides, we've got bigger issues to deal with. Tohka doesn't understand the ways of this world at all... Maybe I should enroll her in school."
"School?" Kurumi glanced at Tohka's innocent expression and nodded thoughtfully. "That's a good idea, but... aren't you worried about her being on her own there?"
"Exactly. That's why I want to find someone her age to attend school with her. Speaking of which..."
Alexander turned to the others in the room, his eyes sweeping across them. "Alright, who here wants to go to school with Tohka?"
At his question, everyone exchanged puzzled glances.
The first to react was Kanna, who raised her small hand enthusiastically. However, Alexander dismissed her with a chuckle. "Come on, Kanna-chan. You're still in elementary school. Tohka might be inexperienced, but she can't exactly attend elementary classes with you."
Mikoto shook her head. "Not an option for me either. I'm already enrolled in a junior high school back in my world."
Saeko hesitated for a moment before replying, "I did attend high school... but my school is long gone now."
Ais chimed in, "I'm not really interested in school. I'd rather focus on mastering swordsmanship. I'm still learning from Zoro and Yasuo's techniques."
At the mention of Yasuo, Alexander raised an eyebrow. 'Happy swordsmanship? That Yasuo… isn't he just goofing around with women?'
The Kocho sisters exchanged a glance before shaking their heads. They had their own missions to complete.
Erina also declined, adding, "Totsuki Academy is focused on training chefs. I doubt Tohka has a knack for cooking."
Tohru, meanwhile, expressed her desire to continue as a maid, a sentiment echoed by Haruhime. As for others like Esdeath, they were busy in their own worlds, and those like Shiro and Sora, they were preoccupied with gaming next door.
Alexander sighed in exasperation. Clearly, he wasn't going to get any volunteers from this group.
"Alright then," he said, turning his gaze to Utaha. "Utaha, I'll leave Tohka in your care. How about I take her to your private Toyogasaki High School tomorrow?"
Utaha blinked in surprise. "Huh? Me?" she asked, before shaking her head. "Sorry, but I can't. I'm not at Toyogasaki anymore—I transferred schools recently."
"You transferred? Why?" Alexander asked, baffled.
Utaha rolled her eyes at his cluelessness. "Because of your anime, of course. I'm practically an idol now. My old school was private, but its security was terrible. Fans would swarm the gates—or even climb the walls—just to get autographs. I had no choice but to transfer to avoid the hassle."
"Fair enough. So, where did you transfer to?" Alexander pressed.
"Shuchi'in Academy," Utaha replied flatly. "It's a prestigious school for the elite. I'm attending with Eriri."
"Shuchi'in Academy? Why does that name sound so familiar...?" Alexander muttered, racking his brain.
He sifted through his memories, trying to recall the academy's significance. It wasn't uncommon for his world to include schools from various universes, such as Sakura High ('Ouran High School Host Club'), Teitan High ('Detective Conan'), or Hakuou Academy ('Special A'). Even Hyotei and Seishun Academy ('Prince of Tennis') were around. The sheer number of schools made his head spin.
"Never mind," he said at last. "I'll figure it out when we get there."
With that, he made up his mind. "Alright then, it's settled. Tomorrow, Saeko, Tohka, and I will visit Shuchi'in Academy for the admission process."
