1029. Episode of EVE 23
The atmosphere in the student council room was awesome.
Eve, I, and Sylphia were the ones who finished it off.
Eve was furious that she had given Regina Ciela a piece of cake, Sylphia was furious when she heard the whole story, and I’m not usually one to talk much either.
The other student council members also remain silent, watching Eve and Sylphia’s expressions.
It may be difficult to understand that Eve is angry, but anger can come in gradations.
Ha, I totally beat up Regina so you won’t be bothered anymore. From No but well that bitch’s anger flow chart leading to.
Anyway, the current student council atmosphere is not something that can be described as good, even in empty words. It’s definitely spring now, but the cold wind is blowing.
There’s nothing I can do. Here, I have no choice but to throw myself into refreshing the atmosphere.
“By the way… Did you have a student council reunion?”
“What did you say?”
“No, I mean, the student council reunion. If I remember correctly, I don’t think we had one…”
“… … .”
Eve squints her eyes and looks this way.
Since the moment you usurped the position of student body president from me, I’ve been by your side, so I’ve never missed a single day of work. Don’t you remember us having a unity meeting?
And between Act 3 and Act 4 of Eve’s story, there was a unity event as an extra story.
Isn’t it time to start moving forward slowly?
“So the unity meeting… .”
“Really. Can’t you read the mood?”
sorry.
I dared to be very bold.
“hmm….”
“But sometimes, not being able to read the mood like that helps. A reunion… . That’s right. It’s spring, so let’s do one.”
Hey, Emma.
Give me back the apple in my heart.
“Unity rally. Unity rally… What should we do?”
“Why don’t we find a nice place, spread out a mat, have a meal, do something like a treasure hunt, and have fun?”
“Good. Very good. You brought up a really good idea on the Wolfram topic, didn’t you?”
“What’s the topic?”
“Then what… what should we eat?”
“Buffet style is the best. I’ll make it.”
“Very good! Then we’ll prepare the event here, and what about the prizes…? And where to choose the location?”
“In the eastern forest where Sylphia and I went before, there is a park full of spirit flowers in full bloom. The scenery is truly beautiful.”
“Okay! Then let’s check the equipment and prepare the transportation right away!”
Eve bit my offer with shining eyes.
The other student council members’ eyes lit up when they heard this story, and Sylphia also nodded with a small smile.
Okay, so it’s been decided to have a reunion this weekend.
***
Since I couldn’t prepare the entire dish the day before, I planned to start buying the ingredients one by one today.
Even if you prepare dishes that use ingredients with a short shelf life the day before, it doesn’t hurt to start gathering ingredients that will last a long time now.
For example, flour, pasta, olive oil, etc. are already available, and milk and butter are available the day before.
The refrigerator in the break room is quite large, so there is enough space to store all the ingredients for a full meal.
“The main course is beef and salmon steak. Next to that, grilled vegetables, cream stew with beef… . There are four drinks, and salad for dessert. Pasta and sandwiches. Pasta with oil and cream, sandwiches with cream cheese… . Spicy mustard would be good too.”
While I was left alone in the student council room looking at the ingredients and planning the menu, I heard a knock and someone came in.
“Wolfram. You’ve worked hard.”
“I also do this for my own enjoyment.”
“Haha. Normally, you wouldn’t have to take on all of it. Why don’t you just tell me to pack my own lunch?”
“Come to think of it, that’s true too….”
“but?”
“Wouldn’t it be fun if everyone smiled because of my cooking?”
“Ha… Hehe. Right. Is that so? Then I’ll help too.”
Sylphia came into the kitchen and stood next to me.
“Do you know how to cook?”
“Not at all. I never even thought about learning.”
“But you’re standing in the kitchen?”
“There’s someone right next to you to teach you, so what’s there to worry about?”
“Hmm. Then let’s start by learning how to hold a sword.”
I don’t hate a guy who tries hard.
So, starting with Sylphia and preparing the ingredients, I quietly began preparing the ingredients to be used for cooking over the weekend.
***
Everyone’s steps toward the unity rally were light.
There was talk of renting a carriage and going, but the carriage was only loaded with cooking ingredients and supplies, so we decided to walk.
First of all, the distance wasn’t that far. It was a thirty-minute walk from the student council room, so it was like a light stroll.
As soon as they passed the residential area, the student council members’ faces showed signs of tension, but since it was the eastern forest, there was no danger.
And we arrived at the forest.
Countless flowers imbued with spiritual power flutter in the wind, and their power dyes the air in seven bright colors.
The guys’ mouths dropped open at the dreamlike appearance that was completely different from the usual forest.
“It’s beautiful.”
Even Eve evaluated it that way.
The food prepared the day before was laid out, a mat was spread out, and a drink was passed around to each person.
Eve began her opening remarks, still holding a beverage she hadn’t consumed.
“Honestly, I think this is the beginning of an incredible term. I also think that serving as student body president in the future will not be easy. However… . If you all join me, we will definitely be able to achieve all our goals. I hope today will be the starting point.”
When Eve held out her glass, everyone simultaneously raised their glass. Each of them tasted the drink, their eyes widening, and sometimes even smiling. It was no different for Sylphia and Eve.
Even though I couldn’t blend in as a member of the student council, I’m glad that I was recognized as someone who cooks meals.
One by one, everyone came to eat, each holding a disposable plate. I also took a bite of two sandwiches and looked out at the surrounding scenery.
It was a little far away from other people. But it was also a great spot with a great view of the forest.
There, I saw student council members gathered in groups of three or five and chatting, and I wondered if this was how parents felt while watching their children play.
“Good. It’s a really nice view.”
“What are you watching me for, like an old man?”
“eve?”
“Instead of just socializing and acting all fancy, go to a place where everyone is gathered and hang out together. Are you going to show off that you don’t have any friends?”
Eve, who had come next to me, grumbled.
“Haha. I see. Let’s do that.”
“Yes. And I also participate in some events.”
“What is the first event?”
“It’s a treasure hunt to find the piece of paper that was hidden yesterday.”
“I think I found that one too.”
“Huh? Wait. Did you sprinkle some here too?”
“Hmm. Is this correct?”
I lifted the small folded piece of paper that was lying under my palm.
“Oh, that’s right. What is it? What does it say?”
“This is… I see. Should we keep it a secret? Does it have an expiration date?”
“Well, there isn’t any for now.”
“Okay. Then I’ll take it out and use it later when I need it.”
“hey?!”
He covered his mouth and laughed quietly, and Eve, embarrassed, asked what it was about.
I’ll have to keep it a secret because if I tell Eve, she’ll be shocked and cancel.
?Student President Eve von Lohengrin grants one wish?
Anyone can see that he is the target.
I’ll have to use it later when it’s important.
***
Then when I returned to the unity convention.
This time, it was not Sylphia or Eve, but other students who approached me.
“Lord Wolfram. How did you know about this place?”
“The meal today was really delicious!”
“Aside from here, is there a place that has beautiful scenery and is safe?”
A barrage of questions.
Did they accept me as a member of the student council and not just a rice bowl?
There is absolutely no reason to unilaterally kick someone out here and ruin the mood.
Even if it means lying.
“When I was the student council president, I tried to draw a picture of Zephrin. I was able to draw a picture of Zephrin to some extent by secretly wandering around countless places, including the Eastern Forest, and reading books. This is one of those places.”
“I’m glad you liked the meal. If you vote for what you liked in there, I’ll add it to the weekday lunch rotation.”
“There are many more besides these. I will guide you in the future when I have the chance.”
In addition, there was an elf executive who came and bowed his head slightly and asked for a favor.
“Is there a place where, other than these flower petals full of spiritual power, there are also beautiful flowers that can be used as tea leaves?”
“Of course there is. It’s in a safe place. It’s just a little ways in from here… .”
“Ah, ah. Then… . May I ask you to guide me… . Is that okay?”
“Okay, I see….”
“Wolfram. Cien. Individual actions are prohibited in places like this.”
“The chairman says no. I’ll draw a map for you later.”
“thank you!”
The elf schoolgirl bowed her head deeply and took a few slow steps back.
“Are you already wagging your tail? You’ve become a little closer?”
“If anyone saw me, they would think I spoke first.”
“That’s… . That’s true, but. Hmm.”
Why are you staring at me like that?
I poured a drink into my glass and drank it leisurely.
“Wait a minute, Wolfram. I don’t think I’ve seen that drink before. Is that… alcohol?”
“That’s right. It’s alcohol.”
“Hey! What are you thinking about?!”
“I am of legal age to drink alcohol under the Zephrine Act.”
“Don’t lie! It’s next year!”
Tch. Got caught.
However, when I was in the modern era, I couldn’t drink properly because I was afraid that I might get a herniated disc. Before that, I only drank soju on site…. There weren’t many opportunities to leisurely drink high-quality alcohol like this.
“Well. When it comes to letting go, it’s right to let it go a long way. If it’s let go halfway, the remaining desires will only make it more painful.”
“Do you think that nonsense can be rationalized?!”
This doesn’t work either.
There’s nothing I can do.
“Eve. Would you like a drink too?”
“Are you crazy?!”
“I’m in my right mind. It’s okay to have a drink on a day like this, even in front of adults.”
“Who is an adult?”
Of course, it’s me. Who else could there be?
“So. Are you really not going to drink?”
“I don’t drink.”
“Then let me drink alone.”
“You shouldn’t eat it either!”
“You’ve already had one drink, so whether you have two or three, it’s the same. Just don’t get drunk and act like an idiot. Right?”
“… … .”
Eve kept her mouth shut.
This makes sense again.
I took a sip of wine and enjoyed its aroma. I would be so happy if it weren’t for the gaze of someone next to me staring at me.
“Wolfram.”
“what?”
“That… . Does it get you drunk quickly? So… . The alcohol content? Is that high?”
“No. Just a quick bite.”
“Oh, really? I see… .”
“Are you interested?”
“Who’s there?!”
“Here. Drink.”
“No, that’s… That’s….”
“It’s a good experience to just take a sip. Surely you won’t get drunk from just one sip?”
“Well, then let’s consider it as social experience… Where…”
Eve accepted the glass and stared at it for a moment.
I don’t know much, but… . So.
“Smell it, enjoy it with your tongue, hold it in your mouth, and then enjoy the aftertaste.”
“Pretty, pretty good, huh?”
“I read it in a book.”
“Hmm. Okay, okay. Then where… .”
Gulp. Eve took a sip of her wine, then her eyes widened.
“it is delicious….”
“yes?”
“Yes. It smells good… and it’s not as bitter as I thought. I could drink a whole glass of this.”
“Here. There’s some good fruit. Take some of that too.”
“Haha. You have good taste.”
Eve ate a grape and enjoyed the wine again.
Before long, the glass was empty, and the guy was staring at my bottle.
“Do you want to drink more?”
“Who, who wants more…? But since you said one or two drinks are the same… . Well, if you give me more… .”
“Okay. Okay. Just accept it without beating around the bush.”
“Oh, I can’t help it….”
Eve took another sip and nodded.
After enjoying the strawberries and grapes, he emptied another glass of wine and looked at me with a redder face than before.
“There’s something left…?”
It would be fun to watch Eve’s antics by feeding her more here, but…
“Stop. You can’t drink any more.”
“Why…? Two or three glasses… .”
“The other guys are watching. I have to protect the dignity of the student council president.”
“Ugh, ugh… .”
“If you do something praiseworthy later, I’ll prepare a special reward for you. Is that okay?”
“Really…?”
“Okay. Really.”
“all right….”
Eve nodded obediently at my words.
I poured the last of the alcohol into my glass, took a sip, and nodded.
Eve becomes a rascal when she drinks alcohol.
I found out something good.
