Tatsumi brings the BB to the dorm, where Maya, the director of Student Affairs, gives them a brief tour and tells them to read the starter pack on the table. Their uniforms are in each room, already tailored to use for tomorrow. They eat the stored bento boxes for lunch and dinner.
The weather for today is sunny.
Tatsumi parks his black car and drops the BB at the dorm entrance.
Seiya - Tatsumi (rubs palms) Come on! Take us back to the mansion.
Tatsumi - Milady's orders are absolute!
Tatsumi drives away, and a kneeled Seiya drops to the ground.
Seiya (extends arm) Wait, Tatsumi!
The BB shift their attention to a stern, middle-aged brunette with glasses wearing conservative business attire, who raises her voice.
? - Welcome, I've been waiting.
The BB momentarily stares.
Maya - I am Maya Kaburagi, the Director of Student Affairs. Follow me.
The boys reluctantly follow Maya inside and observe an empty dorm.
Maya - This is the lounge that is referred to as the "common area." This is where you'll be spending most of your time. There's a starter pack on the table, along with your dorm keys. Do not lose them. (pause) This counter here is to greet visitors. But it won't happen in your case. Any concerns should be consulted with the director. The door behind the counter leads to this dormitory's exclusive gym.
They go to the dining area next to the lounge, separated by a partition.
Maya - This is the dining area. The two doors on opposite sides lead to the kitchen on the left and the laundry to your right. Both have exits leading to the backyard, the place to hang your laundry.
Next, they head to the second floor and see a table with a large cabinet. There are six dorm rooms to their right.
Maya - This is the second floor. The doors are where your rooms will be. Choose whichever you like. This spot here also serves as a study area.
And lastly, they head to the third floor. There is a large door before them.
Maya - This is the third and last floor. The floor after this leads to the roof. There are also dorm rooms to your right, but that is not your concern.
Seiya - How come?
Maya - Save the questions for later.
The group then enters the library. It's filled with bookshelves on all sides.
Maya - This is the dormitory's exclusive library. You're allowed to use the library in the main building, of course. This also doubles as a study area.
Once the tour finishes, they return to the first floor.
Maya - That concludes your introductory tour. Any questions?
Hyoga - Will there be other students besides us?
Maya - Under normal circumstances, twelve students of mixed gender can live here. But Miss Kido asked us to reserve this for the five of you.
Shiryu - You said visitors are not allowed.
Maya - Visitors are allowed under normal circumstances too, but not in your case. Consult the director as I don't have any information.
Ikki - This will sound off-topic, but the name Gurade is associated with Mitsumasa Kido. What does he have to do with this school?
Maya - Mitsumasa Kido was an educator. He founded this school.
Seiya - Are you sure that's the same Mitsumasa who sent us overseas?
Maya - I know he served as the director for many years. That is all. (pause) There are a few things you need to know. You have box lunches supplied in the kitchen, and each dorm room has its bathroom. To bathe, you must use the one in the gym. Your regular, summer, and PE uniforms are in the closets, along with a bag containing supplies. I'll be going.
Maya exits the building, leaving the boys all by themselves.
Hyoga - Talk about an unappealing person.
Seiya - I hope that's the last we see of her.
Ikki - This dorm is so empty...
Shiryu (sits on the sofa) Come on! Let's read the starter pack. We should have a basic idea about the rules of this school.
As they sigh and read the starter pack, hours pass. It's now nighttime. They head to the second floor and stop by the dorm room doors.
Seiya - I'll choose my room and take this last one to the right.
Shun - Well, I choose this first to my left.
Ikki - I choose the one next to Shun.
Shiryu - I'll choose the first one to the right.
Hyoga - I'll choose the one between Seiya and Shiryu then.
Seiya - Alright, we got our rooms. Goodnight, everybody!
Seiya enters his dorm room, and the layout is like back at the yacht house. There's even a cardboard box filled with his belongings. He checks the closet and sees the uniforms Maya mentioned.
Seiya - Well, at least I got my room back... (sigh)
He slumps into bed to catch some sleep for the day tomorrow.
