293 – Confectionery Club Yes – 1
I sat down on the Rakuracu that Erich gave me as a gift and looked around the club room. Now, seven members, one advisor, and one honorary member are resident, so it felt more crowded than last year.
When I turned my gaze to the right, I saw Louise baking cookies while checking the oven, and Ma Jong-gong, who was interested in confectionery, and Sera, who was helping to carry the ingredients. It’s so nice to see pure members who haven’t been stained with madness yet.
‘It’s good.’
I’m especially glad that Louise and Sarah seem to be getting along just fine. From Sera’s point of view, Louise is the only female member and general manager, excluding the member Hoso, Ma Jong-gong.
Besides, she is also the person who will become her elder brother after she leaves the club and graduates from the academy. There’s nothing wrong with her getting to know her beforehand.
‘This is a confectionery club.’
Anyway, women with colorful hair colors of pink, white, and gold got together to make confectionery, so it really felt like a confectionery club. Of those three, Louise is the only one with the confectionery ability, but why not even look around nearby?
‘They’re different.’
As I quietly turned my gaze to the left, I saw five of them, madness itself. They have now given up even caliber. There was definitely a time when they volunteered to join the confectionery club.
“You only come with really bizarre tactics.”
“hahahaha, thank you for the compliment.”
Ainter, who became a victim of the 4-bishop tactic following Later, cast ‘You’re a magpie in a game’ with a smile on his face. Of course, from the point of view of Ryutis, it is highly praised, so he just laughs it off.
Chess is a mess in the confectionery club room, and even in the club room where real-time confectionery is being made on one side. Obviously, common sense requires someone to raise an objection, but the male members were watching with an excited expression without any sign of stopping.
“I’ll do it next.”
“Oh, it must be a special feeling to beat the next saint as a bishop!”
No, I was actively participating, leaving the spectacle.
What is teabagging earlier than that. At least, isn’t it the right thing to provoke after winning?
‘That’s the confectionery club.’
I didn’t have the confidence to see it to the end, so I closed my eyes. I had seen that tail last year too, but back then, there was an excuse that Louise kicked me as a group, so I admitted it. Men in their prime might wander a bit if they get dumped by the woman they love. So I watched as the confectionery club darkly evolved into a chess club, a poker club, and a jokgu club.
But now is different. Didn’t you have time to gather your mind during winter break, and didn’t you start a new school year? Wouldn’t it be time to finish wandering and join the club with a new mindset?
Actually, changing the confectionery club into a multi-purpose entertainment club seems like a new idea.
‘Crazies.’
My mistake. I forgot about them for a while because they evolved from bastards to labor force and showed unexpected brain play. That their essence is madness.
“Eat before you eat. I’m done.”
In the meantime, thanks to Louise’s voice announcing that the cookie was complete, Tanian’s defeat was postponed. To be honest, I can’t picture Ryutis losing at chess.
“You can play chess while eating—”
“Then you spill it all and eat it.”
Liu Tis clicked his tongue in regret at the resolute declaration to focus on eating when eating.
And I felt like I was about to sigh because of this bizarre conversation. Does it matter whether you play chess or not as long as you eat?
‘It’s a compromise.’
Not only the male members, who were already insanity itself, but also the manager, Louise, compromised with this situation. Whether it’s playing chess in the club room or playing foot volleyball outside, it seems like that’s the case. They seem to be satisfied with just eating the snacks or bread they make, and having a conversation together like this.
Of course, the real purpose of the academy club is friendship, so it’s nothing strange, but they pretend to keep the founding purpose…
‘I’m sorry.’
When Sarah smiled softly as she bit into her cookie, her eyes caught her, and she felt guilty beyond words.
Since the manager compromised, there was nothing to say about the newcomers, Ma Jong-gong and Sera. Ma Jong-gong was amazed, thinking that kids these days are free-spirited, and Sera accepted the wrong common sense, thinking that this crazy situation was natural.
This is terrible. She showed a totally unusual side to Sera, who was socially active for the first time in her life. Wouldn’t she weep if the lady-in-waiting found out?
‘I can’t say anything.’
The most terrible thing is that this grotesque phenomenon cannot be stopped.
They act like a multi-purpose entertainment club rather than a confectionery club, but honestly, that doesn’t hurt me. I just feel miserable at the state of the club that can’t pay for the nickname.
To make it easier for me to monitor them, gather in the club and enjoy the entertainment they want to do and live quietly. Isn’t that the best situation for managers? I stopped it for no reason and said, ‘Then I’ll come and play somewhere else.’ If you say, please don’t go, and you have to hit the head.
‘…I just need to be happy.’
I worked hard to activate the happiness circuit. Wouldn’t it be enough if the manager didn’t say anything and all the members were happy? If you are an advisor who has to put the happiness and safety of your members first, shouldn’t you be happy about this situation?
Okay, let’s just think that way.
Fortunately, a third party outside the club had an objective view.
“I may have to change the name of the club soon.”
“I think so too.”
Hearing my complaint, Margheta opened her mouth with an awkward smile. If there is only one confectioner out of seven members, it is not a confectionery club, but 0.03% Confectionery fragrance is added.
Cognitive dissonance is likely to come. The only new member seems to have passion but no confectionery skills, and the existing members have skills but no passion. Is the balance crazy, someone adjusted it like this?
“Still, it’s fortunate that you seem to have affection for the club itself.”
Marghetta also nodded her head at the comforting words.
It is not enough to emphasize a few times, but the confectionery club is a club whose practical function is more important than its external function. Even if the members like confectionery, it is meaningless if you cannot retain members like Ryutis and Later, and even if you are in the confectionery club (no confectionery) as it is now, it is enough if you properly hold on to the members.
‘It should always be like this.’
But I’m a little worried. Aren’t they already ignoring the external functions of the club and living freely? It would be a lie if I said there was no concern that they would someday ignore the frame of the club itself.
So please, please, let’s keep it like this until graduation. Then it doesn’t matter if it’s a pastry club or a jokgu club. Even if you turn the club room into a casino, it will pass.

“By the way Carl. I didn’t want to say that at this timing either.”
While Louise, who would be shocked, promised that I would somehow appease her, Marghetta opened her mouth while glancing at her slightly.
I feel anxious. What the hell are you trying to say?
“It’s the exhibition registration period soon… Remember?”
“Ah.”
“I forgot.”
Belatedly, the memory that had been stuck in a corner of her head was salvaged. Yes, the first major event of the Academy year was the fair. Last year, because of the third honor, the 1st and 4th directors came and it was a mess.
“We need to receive applications for which booth to operate for each club. What booth will the confectionery club operate?”
“…….”
I couldn’t bear to open my mouth at those words. ‘It’s a confectionery booth again this year!’ Couldn’t shout
Looking at Koraji right now, I think there will be talk of running another booth.
An ominous prediction is never wrong.
“Aren’t you tired of doing the same booth two years in a row?”
As always, Ryutis opened the door by teasing the devil’s muzzle.
I almost hit my forehead at the unexpected words. Then, of course, the club booth continues with the same theme, will you do a topic that is not related to the club? Other clubs cry when they hear that.
No, there was no need to go far, and even Louise had a shocked expression. Is this the difference between a madman and a normal person?
“Originally, the booth has the same theme.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Yes you bastard. The word
Rose to the top of my throat, but I held it in. Ryutis in the 1978 season is different from Ryutis in the 1977 season.
‘Why such a conversation?’
At the same time, I felt skeptical. Selecting a theme for an exhibition booth, is this something that needs discussion? Of course, isn’t it going with the confectionery concept like last year?
“Do you run other booths with club themes these days?”
“No…”
Gong Ma Jong, who was watching this scene, secretly asked Louise. I wonder if the way the fair has changed in 100 years.
Of course, Louise weakly answered with a voice that seemed to collapse. It was a bonus that there was a deep doubt in Ma Jong-gong’s eyes at that answer.
‘Damn it.’
I looked at Erich, who was standing in a daze, suppressing a sigh that was about to explode. Before madmen can change the world, we must subdue as many normal people as possible.
Luckily, Erich noticed my gaze and hurriedly opened his mouth. The effect must be certain because he sent a look saying that if he didn’t stop that crazy red man right away, he would do nothing.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to run a confectionery booth? The justification for blocking the new members was that they couldn’t do confectionery, but it would be strange if we left the confectionery as well.”
“You’re right. When the cause loses its power, the barely achieved control will crumble.”
Later also added strength to Erich’s argument, which was extremely valid.
Impressive. Labor power No. 2 And No. 3 Move according to my will. Is this the feeling of a boss dealing with subordinates?
‘…I couldn’t have done it without them.’
You had to convince the five members alone, let alone subordinates.
That’s terrible. Last year’s me, I didn’t manage to commit suicide and endured well.
