048 – Storming Club Fair #3
Work during the day and rest in the evening.
balance between work and rest.
Did you say work-life balance?
If you can live a life that protects it, it would be great.
But sometimes you are so busy that you have to work during the day and work in the evening.
That is the purpose of this club training camp.
Making a lot of ingredients in the evening.
The newly developed menus 「Tteokbokki」, 「Rabokki」, and 「Budaejjigae」 were dishes that took more time to prepare than expected.
I don’t know if it’s a reality where products are made in a factory, but at Ludens, I have to do everything from seasoning to preparing ingredients.
So far I’ve been doing it alone.
However, as long as you want to increase the amount you will sell in the future, the help of others is indispensable.
Especially during the ‘Club Fair’, a lot of people will flock to taste our club’s cuisine.
Some of them will be guests.
And some new hires… No, you can become a club member.
“In that sense, I will improve my cooking skills so that all members can produce the quantity. This is the goal until this training camp and club fair.”
It may not be easy to teach cooking, but nothing is impossible if there is a ‘skill shop’ obtained from the club system.
Arnoi, the representative of the Nymphs, raised his hand pretending to be curious about my aspirations.
“… So, when is the courage test today?”
… What is courage?
Where does the test of courage come from in my explanations and conversations?
“There is no such thing.”
“Your energy is going to die… .”
My stern answer made Arnoi stunned.
Enio, who was listening to the story, also said, “That’s a bit disappointing… .” He shook his head.
No, why did the courage test come out all of a sudden?
Arnoi said as I was reviewing the conversation from earlier.
“This old school is famous for having ghosts… ! To live in a place like that and not test your courage… . This is to lose half of my school days… !”
“is it.”
“This is what Manager Nike said… ! There is a terrifying secret hidden in this old school… ! Wow, there is something that is considered one of the 7 wonders of Ludens… !”
indeed.
From Arnoi’s bizarre ardor, I could understand why the story of a test of courage came out.
It seems that the women had a conversation about something while I went to get approval for the camp.
I had heard of the ‘rumor’ that the Old School was haunted.
At D&A, walking down the aisles and parks, you’re like, ‘Did you hear that? There is a person who saw a ghost in the old school building… There were NPCs who muttered ‘!’
However, it was a McGuffin in my opinion, having achieved an achievement score of 87.5%.
It only mentions it, but it doesn’t appear.
In fact, I spent several days in the old school warehouse, but I never heard the ghost’s laughter.
– Squeak.
Rats come out a lot.
ㅁ Kungkong!
Of course, since the wolf spider Kyeongkong stopped all the rats trying to enter the warehouse, it was nice to be able to sleep comfortably these days.
said Nike.
“Victor! After all, it’s a training camp at the old school building! Can’t we do a test of courage? Doesn’t that sound like fun? yes?”
It was almost the first time Nike asked me for anything.
Does Nike like scary stories like this?
“Come to think of it, Nike. You were the head of the Mokey Mokey occult department.”
“Yes. It was closed because there were no members, but… .”
It was none other than Victor who shut it down.
It’s not something I did, but Nike seems to have a lingering attachment to the ‘occult’ and everyone seems to be secretly expecting this test of courage, so I decided to nod my head.
“good. If it’s only for an hour, what can I do? In the first place, you’re Nike, the manager of this cooking club.”
* * *
Old teacher.
An old, abandoned building.
It wasn’t strange that at night, students were less likely to visit.
It’s really scary, like a ghost might come out.
Of course I wasn’t afraid of that.
The real scary thing is not ghosts, but bank account balances.
However, other students seemed to be different.
Tack, Tack.
A bonfire started burning in the old school building.
Enio trembled as he sat around him in twos and threes.
“I usually go back before sunset so I didn’t know. When the night falls, it seems like a completely different world. Is there anyone but us?”
Domina, the teacher who had been grilling sausages on a stick for him, said.
“Well, sincere students wouldn’t come to such a dangerous place at this time, right? More than that, this sausage is delicious. I thought it was just a sausage, but it tastes different.”
Of course, it’s a sausage I made by adding seasoning and crushing it, so it inevitably tastes different from the one sold.
The problem is this.
“Domina, how many are you eating by yourself? Stealing everything from students. This is something no honest teacher would do.”
“… Whoa, I’ll give it a shot when it’s payday! Just one week from now—”
Teacher Domina, who had been making excuses as if embarrassed, kept her mouth shut because a strange wind blew.
——–.
Woo-woo-woo, the sound of the wind passing through a thick pipe.
At that, Domina opened her thin eyes and looked around.
“Guys, didn’t that sound just sound like a ghost?”
“It’s just the sound of the wind blowing in and out of old warehouses. There are many old warehouses around here.”
Enio nodded at my conclusion.
“Victor-kun is right. There are a lot of abandoned warehouses around here. Abandoned warehouses that no one can touch. It’s creepy to think about now.”
Then Nike asked.
“These warehouses, and the old school. Do you know why it was abandoned? Wouldn’t it be a bit suspicious to say that the facility was simply outdated and moved to a new school?”
“Well… .”
Enio shook his head as if he didn’t know anything.
It was Arnoi, who was playing poking around the bonfire with a poker, who opened up about this.
“This Arnoi knows… ! The days when this Arnoy was still in the first grade… . A rather unfortunate incident took place in this old school building… !”
“An unfortunate incident? Arnoi, what is it?”
Nike was interested.
Nike sure likes stories like this.
“that is… , This is the story of students who suddenly started disappearing one day… . Quite a number of students have disappeared… , In the end, it is a story that this building was closed and left unattended… .”
such a story.
It was also in D&A.
There were many deceased figures who made all sorts of inferences through this MacGuffin.
I also tried to write articles according to my brain a few times, but in the end I gave up because there was no way to prove it.
“Even now, the sound of those missing students scratching the wall from somewhere makes the old school building ring. !”
That’s one of the seven wonders of the old school.
Is it ‘Disappearing Students and Ghosts’?
Saaa – the wind that blows.
Perhaps because of the scary story they had just talked about, everyone was talking less.
Are you scared?
Teacher Domina showed her enthusiasm and gave a round of applause.
“… Alright then. Shall we have dinner now?”
You just want to eat
It was when I was about to add water to the pot, thinking I couldn’t do it.
“Ears, ghosts have appeared… !”
Arnoy held the burning firewood in his hand and began to froth at the mouth. Looking at the place where Arnoy pointed his finger, isn’t it white floating around?
It’s even coming this way.
“If you talk about ghosts, the rumors that ghosts are listening are true… ! This Arnoy, I haven’t even graduated yet, but I don’t want to be captured by ghosts… !”
Something more and more approaching.
Realizing its identity, I spoke lightly.
“What is it, Victoria?”
“… Then who did you think it was?”
You knew that a real ghost would come out, so you expected it a bit.
anyway.
The identity of the pale thing was Victorica.
Its face illuminated by the moonlight was exceptionally white, so it seemed like a ghost or spirit. Nike, who had approached Victoria, sniffed.
“Miss Victoria, you smell good. soap? No, it’s like perfume… . No, it’s a cosmetic smell! Miss Victoria, you have makeup on!”
Right.
did you put on makeup
Victoria, whose face is as white as the full moon, even puts on makeup, so it’s not strange that only her face looks like it’s floating in the dark night.
Victoria said bluntly.
“I just put on some lotion that my sister gave me because my skin was dry. There’s nothing to make a fuss about? Everyone puts on some lotion, right?”
Did you get the lotion from Flora?
It is strangely white for a lotion applied.
enough to care.
“Victoria, it’s okay if you don’t put anything on.”
I don’t want to be misunderstood as the ghost of the old school, so I think it’s better to erase it.
Whether she realized my intentions or realized her mistake, Victoria said, “If you say that, then I will erase it… .” he said shyly.

This is the only bath facility in operation in the old school building.
After dinner, we decided to wash our bodies lightly there.
As I was about to take off my clothes, I heard a voice through the wall.
“Miss Victoria, great underwear… ! string… Ugh-.”
“Shh, mokey mokey! Quiet!”
string?
what string?
“Makeup is a trick, so this is the main topic, Victoria.”
“Enio, you should be really quiet too.”
“Oh my, I am afraid. Ms. Domina and Ms. Victoria are bullying me.”
As it is an old facility, it was not soundproofed at all.
Thanks to this, the women’s chatter can be heard from the men’s bath beyond the wall.
“Miss Victoria, what the hell did you eat… .”
“I’m also curious about this Arnoi… ! It’s like 8th grade… , no ninth grade… !”
“Mo, Mokey Mokey, don’t touch it on your own!”
with a splash. with a splash.
“It’s bigger than Miss Enio.”
“… Have you ever touched Mokey Mokey or Enio?”
“No, you can tell by pretending.”
“It is. Mokey Mokey, did you know something?”
“… I’m trying to hate you guys.”
It’s very noisy.
I was waiting for this feeling after washing first, and the women came out.
“Victoria, your face has become less white.”
“Why, what, do you have any complaints?”
“No, no. Now that I’ve had dinner and washed up, I’m going to finish that courage test right away, and I’m going to pass on the goal of today’s training camp, 《Low Cooking》, to everyone.”
There is no time.
It’s already eight o’clock.
“Then, how do you do that test of courage?”
I asked Nike, who was drying her pink hair in front of the campfire.
“How about bringing something from the old school? There is a science room on the 4th floor of the old school building. Get a beaker or flask or something from there!”
“Simple and nice.”
It seems that beakers and flasks can be washed and used everywhere. Thinking about that, I couldn’t stay still.
“I go first.”
But teacher Domina stopped me.
“Wait a minute, I think it would be dangerous to go alone. I think it would be better to move in a group of two. At the time, there are six of us, so three teams will appear.”
Is it a 2-in-1?
“Then how will the group be divided?”
