    201  ssroom Flower Aira #2


    The reaction wasnt very positive


    Aira-nim, there isnt a separate menu. You can pick if theres anything that catches your interest among the items written up there.


    Seureureu.


    Aira opened her slender eyes in response to my words and looked at the menu board on the wall.


    Seeing her gaze upon the 3,000-coin bean sprout soup or the 5,000-coin tonkatsu made me slightly tense.


    If it was Aira, it wouldnt be strange if she was like, Theo, the menu is wrong. A 3,000-coin soup? Isnt that just fodder for animals?


    You have calmly judged the situation!


    You have gained experience points through the talent Calm Thinking.


    All job experience +5


    Wait, seriously? Saying that would just be counterproductive to our purpose foring here!


    Theo, the menu is-.


    Aira-nim.


    Just as Aira was about to say something, I hurriedly interrupted her. Though, it was evidently impolite, with Aira furrowing her brow slightly in response.


    Its not like you to cut me off, Theo


    Aira-nim, may I suggest a menu?


    No, Ive already decided.


    Really?


    I want the red food that the person is eating over there.


    You mean the tteokbokki?


    Yes.


    Airas order was quickly prepared. The person who seemed to be the cook of the student cafeteria looked at us with a rather serious expression.


    Everyone was probably looking this way.


    Airas gaze was fixed on the dish in front of her.


    A food made from rice, flour and chili powder. How unique.


    Well, uhm, not really.


    Regardless of my response, Aira gracefully sliced and ate the tteokbokki.


    Seukseuk.


    To be honest, I wondered who would eat tteokbokki with a knife like it was steak.


    Was that supposed to be a fancy dish?


    I dont know, but it looks impressive!


    The reactions werent too bad. It was probably thanks to Airas rare job, Flower. Whatever she did, shed be seen in a positive light.


    It tastes even better when you dip it in tteokbokki sauce.


    There was such a method?


    Finally, Aira dipped it into the red sauce.


    Its like apletely different dish. Its more edible than I thought. No wonder people flock here to get this.


    I guess everyones taste buds are the same.


    Hmph, shes just trying to show off!


    Are you a Serazade supporter?


    There were a few grumblers, but most faces seemed to say, Good enough. It was at least a passing grade.


    * * *


    Was Airas visit to the student cafeteria so sensational?


    Or was it because the journalist I hired in advance, Nymph Hoenoi, who worked diligently to write the article that got published in the newspaper even before noon?


    Look. The seat where Aira-nim sat will be designated as a special seat, and the dishes you ate will bebined into a Queens Set.


    Chwararak-.


    I unfolded the newspaper to show, but Aira didnt seem particrly interested in what was written.


    In thisnguid teatime lecture, the only thing that seemed to catch Airas attention was the stray cat that Elga found and was ying with.


    Seuk.


    As Aira reached her hand out, the cat ying with Elga climbed onto Airasp and curled up, closing its eyes. Swish-. Aira stroked the ck cats head with her hand.


    Purr, purr.


    The cat happily purred, but therge lioness on the side, Elga, growled angrily.


    Hey, are you taking away my cat!?


    Elga protested that the cat she had found was taken away. However, Aira simply replied, I didnt take it away, it came to me~.


    Really, its just a cat, stop fussing over it.


    Mirna just watched the scene, lightly sipping her tea without much interest.


    Fridays leisurely tea time lecture. As this week, which had been busy in many ways, was slowlying to an end


    Stomp stomp-.


    Soon, arge group of people appeared next to the table shaded by a parasol.


    Most of them had tanned skin, and at their center stood a petite woman draped in a long ck dress.


    I didnt expect youd be enjoying leisure in a ce like this. Arent you being a bit too proud after getting a slight step above against this Highness?


    Serazade.


    Meow-.


    The cat that had been sitting on Airasp suddenly bristled its fur and darted away.


    Everyone tensed up and looked warily at the unexpected encounter, including Elga and Mirna, who stared at the foreign Empress.


    But Serazade said as if nothing was wrong.


    Quite impressive for a blind chick. But Tarantera, this Highness knows that youre not bright enough to pull off such tricks. Thats right, half-fairy. Its all your doing, correct?


    Seuk.


    Serazades slender finger rested on my cheek.


    Its a shame. A talented individual like you is unable to shine under a dull queen. How about it? Wannae under this Highness wing


    Tak-.


    Before Serazade could finish, someone mmed their hand onto the table. It was Aira, of course.


    Serazade, are you nning to snatch Theo away from me? If so, youd best be prepared.


    Snatch? I dont know about you, but this Highness doesnt have such a nasty hobby. However, if the half-fairy chooses toe to me, I will not stop him.


    Seureuek-.


    Serazades finger, which was on my cheek, withdrew.


    Then, Sir Theo. Please think carefully. Who will you stand under? If its this Highness, I can elevate you higher. Under my wing, youll soar~.
