011 – Before school starts a mayhem #4
Like my father, I cooked quite a bit.
But when it was really important, I ate it roughly.
I was so busy with no time to cook that I had no time to pay attention to what I was eating.
You don’t eat to eat, you eat to live.
It’s because the taste and nutrients were good.
But that was not to be the case.
Eating habits that do not care so much will come back with a big interest in the future.
Poverty earns interest.
That interest is ‘unhealthy’.
It should be different this time.
“Two cups of water. Add about 400mm more and boil for 5 minutes to remove impurities.”
Victor had no connection with cooking and seemed to have no talent.
He was a guy who did what I felt.
A style that cooks thoroughly, befitting a strict personality.
If you don’t follow the recipe written on the back of the ramen bag, you’re a moth.
At least dishes of that nature don’t ‘fail’.
While the soup was boiling for a while, Shadi, who had been frowning at the pungent smell of “Spice Grass,” sniffed.
“… Has the bitter smell really gone? Has my nose become dull? Milone, how are you?”
“Me too, senior Shady.”
“… … .”
The only one who remains silent is Victoria.
If you boil it a little more here, it becomes the second-tier food that you shared with Nike, 「Spice Soup」. But I still had one more secret weapon.
The 3rd tier ingredient, 「Mainland Egg」.
Break it up and stir it around.
And finally, Pang-Starlight bursts out from inside the pot.
“I did it! great success! The dish is perfectly done!」
「Luxury Spice Soup: A soup made with eggs and meat in a golden ratio in a special spice. Through the correct cooking method, the bitter taste was removed and the umami and aroma were added. It couldn’t be more perfect than this!”
“Now, try it.”
I put the soup in a bowl and put it out in front of the club judges.
Shadi, the clerk, and Milone, the accountant, stare at each other blankly with their dishes in front of them.
The first to wear it was the youngest, Milone, who was scheduled to go up to the first year of high school this year.
“Well then, I will eat first. The eggs are still red even though they have been released. Could it be because of that strange pool? What will it be… .”
Yes, this is what the youngest does.
Milone took a spoonful and drank a spoonful of the slightly reddish soup.
“Huh-!?”
Soon, his expression changed into a strange one and he began to eat the soup.
Seeing this, Shadi was taken aback.
“Hey, Milone! You have to tell me how it tastes!”
“I-how can I explain this… ! Seniors, try it yourself too!”
“Trying to eat that Victor’s dish and not someone else… .”
Shadi, who is elegant like a model, frowns slightly.
How is Victor cooking?
Honestly, even if it were me, I would have been suspicious.
Still, I have to say what I have to say.
“Come on, try it. And examine thoroughly. That is your duty.”
I mean, you have to carefully examine every single drop that remains.
“Victor, were you always so talkative?”
Shadi sighed and then picked up the spoon. Then, after eating a spoonful, his brown eyes widened.
“What, what is this? Isn’t it better than the 100,000-Ren lunch we ate in the shopping district earlier?”
“Don’t compare my ‘Luxury Spice Soup’ with mediocre restaurant food.”
“Look at that guy, he’s elated. I do not like it. I don’t like it… .”
Shadi couldn’t overcome her cravings and was busy eating soup over and over again.
“Why is Viktor’s cooking so good? I do not get it. I don’t understand. I’ve never had food like this in the mainland… .”
It was the moment when my hypothesis, ‘Tier 1 food works well for student council executives’, was exactly right.
I spoke to Victoria with more confidence.
“Victoria, you eat too.”
“… … .”
As Milone and Shadi eagerly ate their share, Victorica remained calm.
After staring at the soup in her bowl for a long time, Victoria finally lifts the spoon and scoops a bite of food into her mouth.
“It is delicious. I’m sorry.”
“I’m glad.”
“Dry jerky or native eggs are inexpensive ingredients. It’s a tier 3 material determined by the gods. I don’t know what spice grass is like, but to make something like this with easy-to-find ingredients… .”
“Even cheap things, when put together, create amazing effects.
“Like you and that kid named Nike? Even if it looks cheap, it has such potential. Are you blaming my eyes for not recognizing that?”
What an eye.
What do you mean?
I didn’t want to answer, so Victoria added.
“And you, being able to cook like this. You never told me.”
“Is it so?”
“You didn’t tell me. I’ve never cooked. Now I don’t even know where the hell you started and where you were as a man.”
Shuk.
Victoria put the spoon down.
He spoke coldly, but since he ate all of his own dishes, I think it’s okay to have positive expectations.
“So what? It’s a judgment.”
At my question, Victoria calmly closed her eyes.
While I’m feeling a little nervous, for some reason, the first-year treasurer Milone, who seems more anxious than I am, is bouncing on the abacus.
“… If we can continue to create dishes like this, there will definitely be a huge economic effect. It seems that not only the taste but also the energy overflows from the body. Maybe it will be possible to attack the dungeon in this state and bring more resources to Ludens… .”
The clerk Shadi receives the words.
“Yes, Victoria. Unlike the sloppy talkers, you seem to have enough qualifications. You said you were going to do business too, right? can i eat it? huh? Say yes!”
“Sales will be limited. And it must have Victoria’s approval. You can open a club only with the approval of at least three judges.”
Our gaze turned to Victoria, whose eyes were now closed.
How many seconds of silence filled this room?
through.
Victoria opened her eyes and said.
“Okay, I’ll approve.”
It’s more pleasant than I thought.
However, Victorica added a meaningful word to Nike.
“Moke-Moke-san, please try your best so that the club is not abolished this time. Viktor, a new member of the club, may not know that starting from now on, but Ms. Moke-Moke will understand, right?”
“… I’m different this time too. Because you are not alone this time.”
“Yeah, but please don’t get hit in the back by trusting someone like anyone else.”
Is it because of the mood? Horses have bones.
“Then, I, Milone, will receive the deposit for starting the club from Victor and Nike. The start-up fund is 10 million Renae, as announced.”

Jingle.
Now, the remaining money is 7 million Renée.
The thick bundle of money became incredibly light.
“Then leave now. Hello everyone.”
Anyway, the business here is over.
It was the time when I was about to leave the screening room with Nike because I thought nothing good would come out if I stayed here for a long time.
“Miss Mokey Mokey.”
Victoria called Nike and stood him up.
why call again
I don’t know what will happen if we talk too much and it gets revealed that we signed a ‘lover’ relationship contract.
Gouruluk.
Victoro’s stomach hurts.
He probably doesn’t like this situation where he lies about a ‘lover contract’. You bastard, and then you become a wacky boss monster. Be patient.
“Why… ?”
When Nike asked, Victorica took a deep breath and spoke.
“I made a mistake earlier. What I said was twisted. You’re the first other than Viktor to embarrass me like this. That hair suits you well.”
“That, is it? Miss Victoria is also very pretty. Her skin is also very white… .”
With that, the conversation ended.
* * *
“Huh, I thought I was going to die of nervousness!”
Nike shouted out loud as he left the student hall.
“But it really worked in one go! What was it? That “luxury spice soup”! It tastes better than the high-end dishes in the shopping district. Can the spice grass be like that?”
“Come to think of it, Nike, I couldn’t feed you.”
When I made it, there were only three bowls.
After giving it to the judges, it was said that there was nothing left.
It was Nike who actually obtained and prepared the ingredients, but I felt a little sorry when I thought that Nike couldn’t even take a bite.
Nike is bright though.
“Can I eat a lot in the future? huh? If it’s a spice plant, I know a few more places where it grows! Shall we eat dinner tonight?”
“It’s not about touching food ingredients that need to be sold in the future. The remaining budget is also tight at 7 million René. For the time being, we may have to eat the bark before school starts.”
“Ugh… .”
Nike didn’t seem convinced, but this is the reality.
Now we are just standing on the starting line.
I still have a lot of debt, but it has increased by taking out loans.
However, Nike’s expression was quite bright.
“It was great though! Did you see the reactions? Everyone ate very well! Isn’t that enough to make money really quickly? huh? Is not it?”
It must be because there is hope that you can be so happy even though the situation has not improved at all.
Yes.
It is hope.
It’s not just because the poor don’t have money.
What they lack is hope, I say confidently.
Hope that tomorrow will be better.
If there is only that hope, people will laugh even in mud.
Fortunately, hope was free.
“This is the beginning. Nike, I’ll increase the tempo, so follow me.”
“Tempo… ? I don’t know what you mean, but now I just need to gather members! I couldn’t gather three members, so the club was abolished. Viktor, since you’re from the student council, you probably have a lot of friends, right?”
“I’m tired.”
tempo goes down
* * *
A minimum of three members are required to maintain a club.
There are also problems such as having to participate in club fairs every time and show results.
After all, there must be three people.
First of all, me and Nike.
In 「The Cooking Club of Victory」, the two members were confirmed.
The other one is the problem.
Of course, I thought that this Nike would have a friend to bring to the club.
An iceberg that appeared in an unexpected place darkened my eyes.
said Nike.
“… I thought you would have many friends, Viktor.”
“Do I look like I have many friends? To me, Victor, there are only enemies. You got angry when you first saw me too.”
“That… That’s right. So what? I don’t even have a single friend!”
“What the heck? The deadline is one week. It should be thoroughly publicized. First of all, it would be better to focus on high school freshmen.”
When the new semester started, did various events related to clubs take place?
Existing clubs are clamoring for new students to receive even a little more support money. I thought I would intervene there.
“No, what? It’s such a hardship, it’s not really a problem.”
There is only one person.
You only need to add one person.
If you join the club, you can eat tier 1 dishes?
If you spray this kind of bait, you may have to worry about it because it is rather crowded.
Time passed like that.
It’s the first day of school.
