I'm a Walking Disaster With My Unwanted Virginity

We were actually going to stay in the middle zone of the island. Not in the super city zone or the village zone. 

I didn't have any problems, but on rare occasions, if Marg ever got a bit sick and couldn't teleport, were we going to cross this whole mess of a forest to head to the academy?

'I should just practice flying.' If only I had time. 

Memories of jumping from the plane came flying back. 'Is flying really that great?'

It was but my traumas were saying loads of different things. 

We first made our way to the landlord's office and he was a round guy, with small eyes, and a large belly. 

He was rather happy to see us and sang a lot of my praise. At one point, I almost felt uncomfortable. After all, he wasn't just praising me, no, it was almost as though he was worshipping me. 

He did work rather fast and took us to the apartment though. Actually, it was a literal house with three floors and the whole house was ours. It looked kind of like the one mom and Elsa stay in but just bigger, sturdier, and definitely newer. 'How many kidneys do men have again?'

"Now this here's the house! We've washed it 27 times. We've also given you complimentary furniture. There's food in the kitchen. And you can even move in from today if you want! Actually, please move in, we'll even be your neighbors!" Well, this guy sure was excited. 

'27 times!? Was there a massacre in there or something?'

"But don't you live three blocks away?" Marg asked. 

"Three blocks is nothing, my dear." The man chuckled. 

Why did I get the feeling there was a double meaning to what this guy just said?

"We'll move in when we're ready so don't worry about it." I gave him a nonthreatening glare. But to him, it was probably horrifying. 

He probably thought of me as some world-class villain or something. So he was trying to butter me up for his own good. But I didn't want that. I just wanted to be normal. At this point, it wasn't possible though.

"Shouldn't you show us in?"

"Ri-right." Glad to know the guy had a decent brain. "Let's head inside!"

We got into the building. It was three-storied and the bottom floors had three rooms. The master bedroom was on the third floor which literally took the space of all three rooms. It was big, like really big. The bed was also big!

"How come there's so much furniture and even appliances?"

"We provided the barebones while lord Melheim bought the rest. We assure you, everything is off top quality!"

I wasn't worried about quality, no. I was definitely worried about my empty pocket though.

There was one kitchen and it was pretty big too: definitely not as big as the master bedroom though. It was on the second floor. 

While there were three bathrooms, one on each floor, they did have a spring of sorts in the basement fit for at least half a dozen people: why that I didn't understand. It was also volcanic so I guess that had to be expensive. 

And every room had an attached toilet. The bathrooms of each floor were big and the bathtubs were wide enough to hold two people.

In total there were six bedrooms. The two on the second floor were for guests while the rest of the three were just there for kids and all that. The last one? The master bedroom! That was ours!

I had a feeling someone planned and wasted a lot of time on this. Just the sheer size was enough to make my head spin. Let alone the thought of the rent. 

"Anyway, here's the key! And if you don't like it, we've got more places!" He smiled nervously. "Now, I'll just leave you two alone." He tried to make a devilish smirk, but his sweats weren't helping. "Feel free to move in at your pace."

The guy gave me the key. Actually, this was the same key the count had given me too. I guess now I had two keys. One for Marg and one for me. Not that she needed any.

I cleared my throat and tried to maintain my composure. "Ho-how much was the rent again?"

I was totally normal, like totally. Absolutely normal I say!

"Just twenty gold a month sir! Though, you won't have to pay anything for the coming year."

He grinned and left. 

I was speechless. 

Twenty gold! 

It wasn't murderously expensive, but- still, that was a lot of money. 

In contrast, our rent was 3 gold a month. And that too was on the expensive side.

I was literally freaking out, but Marg held my hand in hers and smiled. "Don't worry, we're in this together."

But 20 gold was a lot, and I repeat, a lot of money! I could buy a literal pool full of chocolate! And I wanted that pool too!

She was right though, it was too soon to be worrying about money. But- if we really were going to move in together, even without the worries of rent, we had to consider food, clothing, education, and even medical expenses-if there was any need. 

'I've to get a job.'

Marg squeezed my hand harder, pouting slightly. "To-ge-ther."

I chuckled. "Fine." She was totally right after all!

'Cute.'

***

With the landlord gone, we locked the front door and I did a bit of reconnaissance. I went from this room to that room, to the basement, to the garage, to the attic, everywhere! 

Needless to say, I didn't find anything. 

Currently, we were in the kitchen.

"What are you searching for?"

Marg was always behind me and she was rather curious. 

It was too embarrassing so I made up an excuse. "Roches. I hate those things you see."

I could never say that I didn't trust her father and just was checking if he was a total pervert or not. I couldn't. 

Thank goodness, he wasn't one. 

"I thought there weren't any on this island?"

First time I was hearing that. After all, even just a day ago, I literally evaporated three behind our mini-fridge. 

Anyway, I cleared my throat. "Well, with all that over, where do you wanna go next?" We could go to a restaurant or even head to the aquarium!

Or maybe even the spring beneath. A twisted smile crept up my lips.

She looked at me, a bit flushed. "The bedroom?"

My heart skipped three beats. Even better!

He he he… now we were talking. 

I was about to say something when- yeah, my saber started to vibrate. 

Sigh. 

I knew it.

I took it out of my belt and turned it on but it just kept on fluctuating. The lights just flickered. This thing wasn't usable anymore. "Enira, ya there!"

There was no response. 

"Something wrong with it?" Marg came close. 

"I actually needed to get it checked. But- after that indecent-"

"What incident?" She gave me a stare. 

With another sigh I told her stuff and what happened this morning too. 

She thought for a moment, a hand on her chin. "Let's go."

"Go where?"

"To fix what you started." She winked. "And after that, I guess to the aquarium?" She came close. "And if I'm feeling good we might even make our way to the spring," She whispered, softly.

But I wanted to head to the bedroom. I sniffed but held her hand anyway. At least I could enjoy my bath with her. I pretended to be sad on the outside, but on the inside…. Muahahahah.

And so, a moment later we arrived at the massive building in the center of the city zone. 

***

Obviously, the guards stopped us. 

"Your business?"

"We're here to see-" What was that dude's name again?

Yeah, I forgot.

"Let them pass." A guard yelled from inside as the glass door opened. He came out. "The top floor."

He kind of seemed familiar. 

Oh yeah, last time, I might or might not have beaten him a bit. 

The two guards moved away and we started going inside. "Thanks, man."

The guy didn't say anything and since he was wearing sunglasses, I couldn't tell if he was glaring or staring. But the moment I was about to pass him by- he whispered something. Something that literally sent a shiver down my spine.

Before I could respond or even ponder, Marg pulled me ahead. She was taking charge. 

Anyway, as usual, the inside was busy and I hated stares. 

"Which floor?"

"99th. I thought you couldn't teleport to places you've never seen before."

"As long as they are within a 12-kilometer radius, it's fine." She grabbed my hand and well, we were now on the 99th floor. 

I guess that did make sense. But, the thing that guy just said was weighing on my mind. 

"The boss bunny is on the upper floor while the guy who made my saber is in this one btw."

"Boss bunny?" Marg sighed. "Let's fix this first then we'll deal with the girl."

"How exactly?"

She didn't say a word and just walked ahead. "This room, right?"

"Careful its-" 'Hot.'

Yeah, she wasn't in the best of moods. 

After hearing what the guard said, I wasn't either.
