053 – Storming Club Fair #8
Pang, papa-papang-!
Firecrackers exploded everywhere.
The day when people laugh hahahaha and white doves fly around the sky.
Today is a club fair.
Victoria sat at the fair operation headquarters installed in the center of the park and looked at the situation.
It is a club fair held every semester, but this year the scale seems to be 1.5 times larger than usual.
I didn’t forget to warn the student council members and club managers to prevent any accidents.
“Executive member Skadi.”
“Why are you calling me, Victoria?”
“The remnants of Pimblebert may be watching the fair. You have to watch everything from the outskirts to the alleys with the leading team.”
“I will do it even if you don’t.”
Even if they wear the same executive member’s epaulet, Viktor and Skadi handle their work differently.
If Viktor preferred thorough and meticulous work, Skadi’s work varied greatly depending on his mood, and there were ups and downs in his work.
‘Since Viktor is no longer an executive member, I have no choice but to fully utilize Skadi.’
I was a little nervous.
Knowing the existence of the association “Pimblebert” operating somewhere in the academy, he couldn’t afford to relax.
Even today is the day that ‘Orca Arclight’ comes from the mainland.
Her older brother and former student council president, Ludens’ super celebrity.
Also, he is the one who hid from everyone the fact that he had made some kind of contract with that [Pimblebert].
‘I wonder if I’ll be able to manage my expression well when I meet an orca… .’
At that time, the voice of student council secretary Shadi was heard from the speakers installed everywhere.
“There are thousands of clubs… ! Please feel free to roam around and use the booths of the clubs in this Ludens… !”
The voice was answered by Milone in the Accounting Department, who seemed a bit nervous.
“We will select the best club by counting the total number of Renées you have used in the club booth. Students, relatives, and residents of Ludens. We ask for your support… !”
early morning.
The beginning of the club fair.
“Dearmid, let’s go to the armor club street over there! I can’t wait to see what kind of armor the Wild Fang leather we sold has turned into!”
“I want to look at weapons rather than armor. After earning a lot of René this time, I want to change my weapon first. Wouldn’t it be better to change weapons rather than armor?”
“Yeah, do whatever you want. hehehe, I still earned a lot of Renee. Guy Victor, what are you going to use so many snow lilies for? ?”
Various students from various places start to come and go busily on the streets.
“200 years of tradition, Ludens newspaper department! Sell special edition of the fair! Buy now or never! If you buy it now, I’ll give you photos of wildlings taken in various places in Ludens as an appendix… !”
“Tabla, your voice is small! Today we have to sell over a thousand copies per person!”
It is also fun to watch the publicity of the clubs that are eager to attract them to their booth.
Among them, the place that caught most people’s attention this year was the booth in row A located on the side of the park with the most traffic.
“Look over there. It’s a swordsmanship club. Are those piled up hanging there, perhaps subjugation seals?”
“Aside from the swordsmanship club, there are few places in Ludens where you can complete the Tier 1 quest.”
“But what about these days, the cooking club said they subdued Tier 1 monsters.”
“Ah, what Tier 1 monster does the cooking club catch? More than that, when it comes to the cooking club, it reminds me of Ludens Gourmet, which was the runner-up last year. What are you going to sell this year?”
On the day of the fair, many civilians came from all over the country.
Various boats from the mainland come into Ludens of this heavenly altitude and drop people down.
“Look at that, it’s the merchant ship of the Chessman family.”
“There’s also a pansy marquis in the west.”
“This Bishop Chessman. It’s been a while since I graduated from Ludens decades ago. The unchanging scent of this strange island. this strange heat. Marquis of Pansy, I will guide you as a graduate, so please join us.”
“Viscount Chessman, it looks like you want to go to Ludrick Chessman’s club. Did you say Ludens Gourmet? I heard that it will open even bigger and grander this year.”
Many people mention the name of Ludens Gourmet Society.
The “sword club” that won last year.
And it was only natural for people to have expectations for the Ludens Gourmet, which missed the championship by a narrow margin.
In fact, “Ludens Gourmet” does not go against people’s expectations.
No, they made their last name with a feeling that exceeded that expectation.
“Viscount Chessman, this. Aren’t you giving me too much power? At this rate, it looks more like a high-class culinary establishment in the flower city of the mainland than a club booth for students. How much support did you give?”
“That’s why I didn’t think I would have opened a store this big… .”
An old-fashioned shop that even aristocrats from the mainland stick out their tongues.
When Victoria peeked inside, she saw round round tables lined with white napkins.
A female student dressed in a maid’s uniform is coming soon.
“Guests from the mainland, I’ll serve them inside,” he said with a soft smile, and the aristocrats said, “I have no choice but to go in.”
At this Ludens Fair, it was the noble customers who spent a lot of money and distribution that gave the club a championship.
Because they want to show off ‘their wealth’ at Ludens, so they spend a little too much.
In fact, it is a restaurant belonging to 「Ludens Gourmet Association」, which costs over 500,000 Renae per menu, but the inside is already full of aristocratic customers.
“Oh, Miss Victoria. Are you here to eat?”
At the voice she heard at that time, Victoria was startled as she peeked inside the high-class restaurant. I turned my head and saw curly blonde hair.
“Miss de Winter.”
“Rev calls me sheep. It’s because we’re going to be ‘family’ in the future. However, even between becoming a family, we cannot advance reservations. The store is really full right now… .”
I thought that the way she smiled ho-ho-ho somehow resembled her older sister Flora.
Of course, Flora’s is cute and naive, but this Rebekah’s laugh was dark inside.
‘In the sense that the outside is brighter than anyone else, but the inside is darker than anyone else, are my brother and I a natural match?’
Putting those thoughts behind, Victorica said, “Don’t worry, I just stopped by to check in as an expo coordinator… .” He blurted out.
Even in the midst of talking like that, the nobles are constantly pushed into the 「Ludens Gourmet Party」. Victoria was a bit nervous.
Then, all of a sudden, I get curious.
‘Why am I nervous… ?’
Victoria tried to find the reason for her nervousness, but she could only find one.
‘De Winter is connected to Orca. I don’t know what Orca’s plan is, but if De Winter’s food party gets good grades, it’s like giving Orca more power.’
You shouldn’t give your strength to an older brother who doesn’t know what he’s up to.
So Victoria concluded that she was nervous herself.
The only thing that can keep such a food party in check is a cooking club with similar attributes.
‘Victor, are you doing well right now? You shouted out loud that you could deal with an orca. You broke up with me with that determination. Just try to get out of this place.’
So what are they doing now?
I wanted to visit in person, but I had to take a heavy step when I heard the story of my best friend Shadi, who called me from afar, saying, “Victorica, Milone is calling!”
* * *
There are many people.
The fact that there are really many people without a chance to set foot is a word about today.
And having a lot of people meant that a lot of money was inevitably coming and going.
“Arnoi, take your order!”
“hehehehe… ! This Arnoi, there are so many orders that my eyes are spinning… ! However, if you endure today, you promise to increase your stake by 1%… . It’s about working hard… !”
“Arnoi, I will help you!”
“No, Nike, you should help Enio prepare the ingredients in the kitchen. The kitchen is running without a break!”
I was so busy that I couldn’t even rest for an hour.
Enio grunting in the simple outdoor kitchen.
“I thought there would be no customers because it was in the corner. what’s this. You are really too busy. And to think that the Princess of Black Star was barely serving as the head chef. Viktor-kun, you are really extravagant… !”
“Luxury is a luxury in this conversation. Enio, keep playing with your hands… !”
Of course, I also cooked without messing with my hands.
Is it because of the hot fire or because the ingredients used are spicy?
I could feel the sweat flowing down my back, where I usually don’t sweat a drop.
“The weather is very hot today. It seems to be the usual ship.”
To my words, Domina, the female teacher holding the chart, answered.
“The fair is held on the best day even in spring. Today is the sunniest day In the afternoon, the weather is not nice and it can be hot.”
“It is a good sign. Rather, Domina will not ask for help, so go find out the current sales situation of each club and come.”
“That’s asking for help. Seriously, to make a teacher out of an elder. I’m just helping you today. okay?”
A large instrument panel is installed in the center of the park.
The rule is that the winner of the fair is determined according to the ranking on the dashboard that indicates how many Renées the customers have used in the club booth.
Domina, who had disappeared, returned with a rather serious expression.
“Victor, the first prize is the Ludens Gourmet. It made 10 million Renae within an hour of opening. For reference, we now have 3.8 million ren… .”
Nike, who was eagerly peeling the fruit, opened his mouth wide and shouted in surprise.
“Ten million in an hour! So, how much is today’s sales… .”
Nike, a soil mage, was really surprised by the amount of money he was earning 10 million an hour, so he couldn’t think of anything.
That’s definitely a lot of money.
But I was sure there was no need to panic.
“Upscale restaurants have a limited number of people going in and out. And since you have to hold on to each table for a long time, the turnover is not good.”
The game I played also had the nickname ‘high-class restaurant’.
Due to the small number of users, the matching time was long, so the market share was not good.
That game was lost to a game nicknamed ‘Snack House’.
Back then, it couldn’t have been that pathetic.
But now I am the owner of a snack bar.
“Enio, we will sell it in the afternoon.”
“That’s it. Will it really work? it?”
It was while Enio was wiping the sweat from his forehead.
“It was hard to find in a corner like this. Still, I praise you for attracting customers like this in a place that is not even A.”
Someone came towards us, clattering their heels.
Enio stopped raising his hand.
“Miss de Winter.”
“Enio, don’t stop your hand. The order has been delayed.”
Rebekah covered her mouth with her palm and laughed.
“I can’t believe that the princess of Black Star is working hard in the kitchen to make such inexpensive, food that commoners can eat. Miss Enio’s father will be sad if he sees it.”
How dare you attack Enio’s mentality.
That’s our deputy chef.
I decided to strike Rebekah out so that she could no longer speak.
“Are you here to play? It seems that there are no customers in the store, so there is nothing to do, right?”
“It’s break time. All the ingredients I prepared for the morning were exhausted. The amount of sales in the morning alone is already 20 million REN. In contrast, you… .”
Rebekah’s eyes scrutinized us.
“Even if I work hard all day like this, I can only earn 10,000,000. The world is just like that. Quality is more important than quantity of work. However, I will admit that I am struggling.”
That’s right.
Even if you work the same hours, the pay is different.
“From the beginning, the floor they were born with is different.”
In the first place, the lives of nobles and commoners could be like that.
The debt of 200 million that I suffered through giving all my youth.
For some, it could have been money that could be spent on leisure expenses in a year or even less.
It was then.
“Ooh, we won’t lose to you… !”
someone shouted.
She was Nike peeling fruit.
Nike spoke in a trembling voice, as if trying to squeeze out the courage that had sunk deep in the soles of his feet.
“It ain’t over until it’s over! Whoever laughs last wins!”
Indeed, that is correct.
However, Rebekah mocked us, saying, “There are times when you can know things without looking at the results.”
A proud pride as much as a high nose.
I want to press it down.
“Let’s compete, Rebekah. I am making a bet.”
“It was an obvious match that had already been won. What can we win and receive from you?”
The blue eyes of Rebekah, who spoke calmly, turned to the trembling Nike Mokemoke.
“Then you. You said you were from Rashgard Forest, right? There’s something I’m looking for there just in time. Let’s get some help with that. Also, your club is ruined.”
“On the contrary, if we win, we will take your signboards. Your Ludens Gourmet Club will be renamed with the name I gave it, and we will take over the supervision.”
I won’t give you a special lung.
you have work to do
