31 – 031 – Spring Comes Spring # 1
031 – Spring Comes Spring #1
I understand why Melvin and Dearmid followed me.
Why would people come to the cooking club club?
It’s obvious that he wanted to eat something.
Teenagers growing up.
No matter how much you eat, your stomach will soon go off after a while.
After using his body as much as he could in the dungeon, the hunger must have been stronger.
That said, it would be a bit like eating another meal, and it would be nice to have a clean snack. It is natural to think.
So I put the [Snow Lily] I just brought back from the dungeon into the mortar I received from the student council a while ago and grind it.
A lily that crumbles like snow.
It may seem like a simple task, but rhythm is important in its own way.
If you don’t adjust the exact rhythm and strength of the strength, it might melt the moment it breaks.
Pot-pot-pot-.
After grinding the lilies for a long time, he transfers them to a plate at the correct timing.
Pyong.
A little star bursting out of the bowl.
This little star is a tier 2 item crafting effect.
「Snow shaved ice: shaved ice that melts like snow. it’s good. But I feel like I’m missing something. There might be a way to make it even more delicious… ?”
Snow shaved ice was completed as I thought.
Even though it was a dessert food that belonged to the bottom of the 2nd tier, this was enough for the moment when the ingredients were lacking.
“It’s a try-on, so I won’t take any money. Try it and evaluate it objectively.”
“this… .”
Melvin opened his mouth wide as he looked at the bowl in front of him.
Is this your first time seeing shaved ice?
“Putting my eyes on the bowl like this reminds me of my hometown. I used to eat like this when it snowed in my hometown, Draheim.”
eat your eyes
What kind of hometown food is that?
Before he had time to ask questions, Melvin took a spoonful and ate a large bowl of Snow Shaved Ice. Soon, his stern expression becomes even more stern.
“Oh, the taste is completely different from the snow of my hometown? this one is a bit sweeter like, like… Like what? Heh, I can’t explain this taste with my vocabulary, so dear midi, you should try it too!”
As he said that, Melvin’s hand did not stop.
Deermid, looking at it, said, “I just went to a cold place, and it’s shaved ice… .” He seemed to be slightly wary, and finally raised his spoon cautiously.
And a deermid that can be swallowed in one bite.
The boy’s body trembled.
“This… . It’s an unexpected taste. tastes like milk I thought it would just taste like flat eyes. The taste is completely different from snow. and put it on a little very fine.”
The guys’ evaluation was positive, but I suddenly became curious.
Why does everyone know the taste of snow?
I didn’t ask because I thought I shouldn’t know too deeply.
What’s left is Megaira?
After obtaining the [Snow Lily], he was strangely quiet. It’s rather unpleasant to keep your mouth shut, which hasn’t been quiet for a moment.
I pushed the bowl further towards him and said.
“Eat this and go back to Enio soon. You triplets are Enio’s shadows. Did you see the shadow leave its master?”
I mean, stick close to Enio and fight him.
It was a story that contained the meaning that Enio would keep coming to me and bothering me because you guys weren’t doing your job properly.
Megara, who seemed to understand that, glanced at me slightly and raised her spoon.
Then he opens his mouth and puts something like a white snowflake into his mouth.
“Hmm!?”
Megaira trembled.
His red hair stood up like a cat’s.
“Swallowing something cold in one go will give you a headache.”
“That’s about it, I know. I know. Than I thought… Yes.”
“what?”
“… no, it’s delicious Viktor, did you know you could do something like this… .”
“What do you mean?”
Megaira ate all the shaved ice she was given.
It’s just snow bingsu, but if you can make chocolate bingsu, strawberry bingsu, or snow bingsu, which is a top-tier tier 1 “snowflake bingsu” with toppings added, you’ll be able to save up some money in the summer.
Even spring hasn’t come properly yet, so it’s a little far away.
* * *
“Call me next time you have something to do. in the rain… Victor! And if you develop a new dish, be sure to call it!”
“I get it.”
Dearmid and Melvin did not return to their dormitories until eight o’clock.
It’s a bonus that I ate two pockets of beef jerky that I had been saving for, and my life became a little needy.
Melvin guy, he’s worth the money.
However, it was not a losing business because it earned the favor of the guys.
Things like hunting and raiding dungeons, which I find annoying, should be done by those guys.
Then, in the long run, is it beneficial to give those guys a spec upgrade?
As those guys get stronger, the range of activity and gathering of materials will increase as well.
“So you’re not going?”
“… … .”
Megaira was quietly in the club room, like a cat left by a friend for a while. When Melvin or Dearmid left, he thought he would go out with them, but he seems to be sitting down like this.
“I will mention it for reference. Mixed meals in club rooms are prohibited. You have to move out of this room before 10:00.”
“Ugh… .”
“Megaira, you were in the room next to Enio. Are you afraid that you might run into Enio?”
Megara trembled at my question.
“How do you know I’m in the room next door to Enio-sama?”
“Yeah… .”
Yes, it’s because I’ve acquired items while rummaging through drawers and closets while playing as Luke.
Of course, I lied because I would be treated like a madman if I said that.
“As much as you know about me. i know about you Since I belong to the Arclight family, it is essential to know about the hostile Blackstar’s minions.”
gooo
My stomach hurts.
Have I reached today’s limit of 3 lies? Viktor hated lying, but the more you lie, the more your conscience becomes dull.
At first, I had a lot of pain in my stomach just once, but now it’s okay up to three times a day.
By the way, if you do more than that, you will faint.
please understand
It seems that my origins worked, and Megara accepted my story for a convincing reason in its own way.
“That’s right. I know something about you too, Victor. For example, he was an orphan who was abandoned and then picked up by the Arkwright family.”
“I know.”
“But I abandoned my master. I never thought I’d do something like that. Ever since you did that, I feel like I’ve strayed off the beaten path.”
“It’s because of my mood.”
“Why did you abandon your master?”
“Didn’t you tell me that you had another woman before?”
“That is a lie. Other people may not know, but I can tell by pretending that the relationship between Mokey Mokey and you isn’t like that, right?”
As expected of Enio’s subordinate, I feel good.
It was too late to let go of pretentiousness.
Now, the number of times you can lie a day, 3, is almost full.
Megaira asks.
“I don’t know why. By any chance, if I had the same reason as you, would I abandon Enio-sama?”
no.
Megara wouldn’t be like that.
The relationship between this guy and Enio is a bit different from the relationship between Victoria and Victor.
If the latter was an obligatory relationship by contract, then Enio and Megara are real friends.
Enough to hit the flying arrow instead.
This guy won’t leave Enio’s side no matter what the reason.
If I had at least one friend like that, I would have lived my life as a debtor. Because you can’t find such a friend even with money.
I was able to answer this easily because I knew it well.
“Megaira, you are with me. So do your best when you have the chance. Don’t suffer like me in such a shabby place where the strings fall off. It means not to be abandoned by Enio.”
Megara was furious at that.
“Enio-sama, won’t you abandon me?”
“I know. then come back soon Don’t be in a daze by yourself.”
“… … .”
Megara stood up without saying a word.
Then, frowning, “I wanted to get out of this desolate place!”, he approached the door.
Then, before leaving the room, he asked me.
“Would you like to come to the Blackstar family? I’ll talk to Enio.”
“You must have said that before? hate.”
“Anyway. Even if given a chance, they buy it and suffer. Fool… !”
With that, Megara swooped out of place.
“It’s not stupid, it’s stupid.”
Wasn’t “Idiot” the line you hear when Megaira’s favorability rating, which basically starts at minus, rises to plus?
Was there anything in the conversation that made you feel good?
no, it wouldn’t have been
As long as you don’t give me the [November issue] magazine featuring Enio, whom I like because it’s Mega, it won’t go up as a plus no matter what option or gift you give it.

“In that sense, I will start classes in earnest from tomorrow. Since all of you are in your sophomore year, from now on, it will be focused on practical skills and actual battles, so be prepared.”
Classes on the first day after the incident were all over.
Lectures are nothing.
It was about explaining the monsters and fields that lived near Ludens.
It was a story that I honestly didn’t even need to hear because I already had it all in my head.
“Wow, Melvin. Isn’t that Ice Fang leather covering your knees? I heard in class earlier that you have to go to the cold regions in the north to meet them. Have you already been there?”
“ah? This… .”
Shuk.
When I turned my head, Melvin met my eyes and nodded slightly. It was as if he was telling me, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep a secret.”
Then Enio, who was sitting next to me, asked me.
“Victor-kun, what did you do with Megaira yesterday?”
“Why do you ask that?”
“No, he’s been looking a little down lately. But yesterday he came to my room and gave me an ice flower? And I told you a lot about you.”
“At least it wasn’t a good story. I must have spread a lot of my gossip. Because he hates me.”
“is it? Come to think of it, I don’t think it was. anyway. You said you made snow bingsu? I want to try it too, do you have time after school today?”
“do. Anyway, I have to make shaved ice for Arnoi, the delegate you recommended.”
“Arnoi? That 8th grade Arnoi?”
“yes. The delegate you recommended me to.”
“weird. The person I recommended Viktor was someone else? Morian, Eris, and Ashtar-senpai are three of us.”
“… … .”
Then what the hell was Arnoi in the 8th grade?
Didn’t you say something about Enio’s recommendation after seeing me?
“It must have been a lie.”
he’s a really weird guy
To the point of fooling me, who was soaked in this D&A.
It’s not usually a bet.
Anyway, if it wasn’t for Enio’s recommendation, wouldn’t it be okay to not make dessert?
It’s good to save material and time.
Thanks to that, the afternoon went up unexpectedly.
It was a time when I was thinking about what to do at that time to earn Rene most efficiently. Someone approached me slowly.
“Enio, I have something to say to Viktor. Please step aside for a moment.”
“yes. Because my business is over.”
Enio waved, “See you again, Viktor-kun,” and disappeared outside the classroom.
“Looks like Miss Victoria and Victor are talking about something.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I want to hear it.”
Students around us started to take an interest in us. Perhaps because it was Victoria who couldn’t have known that, he exhaled lightly and said.
“I have an important story. It’s a story to be told by just the two of us. You and me.”
“If that’s the case, you can do it in the club room. It is quiet there.”
With that feeling, Victorica and I moved places.
Nike hadn’t finished today’s lecture yet, so the club room was quite cold.
Victoriaka said in that quiet place.
“Victor, my older sister who headed to the mainland is coming back to this Ludens soon. Perhaps the ship tomorrow.”
“Has it already been that time?”
Originally, Victoria’s older sister does not appear until spring is in full bloom.
The appearance of her must mean that the spring semester has begun in earnest.
However, Victoria’s expression was quite serious.
“If the story of you and I broke up in my sister’s ears… .”
“It will be complicated in many ways.”
However, it was not that he demanded a breakup without taking measures to that extent.
I, Ha Seung-ri, know Victoria’s older sister, Flora Arclight.
It’s just going to be a bit complicated.
As I was thinking of ways to do it, Victoria said.
“So that’s what I mean. Can we pretend we didn’t break up the engagement?”
“Pretending not to? What do you mean?”
“At least in front of my sister, we’re going to act like you and I are engaged.”
