I wake up to the sound of the Maid-sans changing clothes.
Hmm, I have to get up and go to the dining room too.
I open the curtains, it looks like nice weather today.
“Morning,” Is aid.
“Good morning, Makoto,” Karina said.
“Mornin’, so sleepy,” Margot muttered, looking sleepy as usual.
Corinna got up and started changing clothes.
Well, I’m ready to go, too.
I wash my face in the washroom and brush my teeth.
After using the toilet, I change into my uniform.
The maids went to work, and we students also went out of the room and locked it behind us.
“It looks like the number of students will increase today as well,” Corinna said.
“Will there be more?” I asked.
“All lower-class nobility students will eat breakfast in the cafeteria,” Corinna said.
“Well, they’re paying for the food, so it’s only natural,” I said.
The lack of bustle up till now had been abnormal.
When I entered the locker room, the cafeteria staff were all there.
“Good morning, let’s do our best today too,” I said.
“””””Good morning,””””” everyone replied.
The staff is fine today.
“Then, just like yesterday, I’d like to declare the upper-class food as usual, and the lower-class food as porridge.”
“”””Understood.””””
Now then, I’ll put on a three-point headscarf and wear an apron, and I’ll dress Corinna-chan in them as well.
I finished washing the dishes last night, so let’s clean around the counter.
Kyuu-kyuu, there we go.
“It’s Saturday, but I wonder if it’ll be different than usual,” I said.
“Since there are quite a few students returning to their parent’s homes, the number of people eating dinner will decrease,” Corinna said.
“Understood,” I said.
Ah, I’m also staying at the Baron’s house today, what should I do with the cafeteria?
I wonder if it’s a good thing to ask Marissa-san and Corinna-chan to take over.
Marissa-san has arrived.
“What should we do for next week’s menu?” Marissa asked.
“How do you usually do things?” I asked.
“Ilda-san thinks about it,” Marissa replied.
And now Ilda-san isn’t here.
Shall we go visit the Great Temple?
""
“I’m going to the Great Temple today, so I’ll ask Ilda-san,” I said.
“If it doesn’t work, we could just use the recipes from last spring,” Corinna said.
“Oh, Corinna-chan, you’re so cool,” I said.
“Fufuhn,” Corinna huffs, looking grumpy.
“The porridge is cooked. Eat it quickly,” Edra said.
“Alright, I appreciate it,” I said.
“How’s the porridge today?” Corinna asked.
“I made a sweet one, are the toppings nuts or honey?” Edra asked.
“Nuts,” I said.
“Sprinkle honey on them,” Corinna said.
In the locker room, I eat the porridge that Edra-san gave me.
Hot, hot, sweet, sweet, nuts, nuts.
I like how the rolled barley melts in your mouth.
It seems that Kain got rotten stuff from Pottinger-kyou’s house for free and brought it in as the delivery, and it seems that before the barley went bad in storage, it was of excellent quality.
Little wonder it tastes so good after being healed.
“It’s also delicious today,” I said.
“It’s great with honey,” Corinna said.
Well, now that we’ve got our stomachs filled, and we’ve boiled both salty and sweet porridge, shall we go open the girl’s dormitory cafeteria?
I open the shutter in front of the counter and declare ourselves open for business.
Corinna-chan also took a fixed position next to the counter.
“Makoto-chaaan, we’re back, can I have it salty today?”
“Last night’s steak was shocking, I’d like sweet but with honey this time.”
“Give me something sweet again today, sweet.”
“Yes, yes, welcome back,” I said.
Nuts-senpai, Salty-senpai, and Sweet-senpai have arrived.
Today, Nuts-senpai is having it salty, and Salty-senpai is having it with honey.
“What kind of club activities do you do, Senpais?” I asked.
“It’s the Lacrosse Club, why don’t you join, Makoto-chan?” one of them asked.
“I’ll think about it,” I said.
Lacrosse Club, your Stamina and Agility would increase from it, wouldn’t it?
It might be fun if you have good senpais.
I have to think about club activities soon.
For some reason, I feel like I’m going to be in the girls’ dormitory cafeteria kitchen now.
“The salty one is. So. Good.”
“The sweet one is good too, isn’t it?”
“Sweetness is Justice”
The Trio of Lacrosse Senpais is peaceful today as well.
The students of the lower class noble’s food have gathered early today.
Geeze, they’re already lined up at this hour.
“Doesn’t it seem fake that the porridge in the cafeteria is delicious now?”
“It’s true, it seems that the Bejeweled Reijou-sama managed to do something about it.”
“As expected of a saint candidate.”
I can hear various voices.
I’m busily listening to orders and serving.
Hm, there are many students who pay cash to Corinna-chan.
I don’t know, children with high-ranking noble’s diets should eat what was intended for them, this morning’s menu is white bread, sausage and egg, omelet, corn soup, and fruit.
“Makoto, increase production of the sweet porridge, 50 servings,” Corinna said.
“Understood, Edra-san, we need more sweet porridge, 50 servings.”
“Aiyo, it’s very popular, let’s boil it up quickly,” Edra said.
Yesterday’s leisurely serving seemed like it didn’t exist, with how busy we are now.
It’s like serving food in a refugee camp.
Serve, serve, salty, sweet, sweet, salty, sweet.
I’m so busy that my eyes are spinning.
Since Margot-san has come, I hand over the large silver coin, 1,000 dolancs, to Corinna-chan and listen to her order.
“Today, both of our orders are salty, please.”
“Got it, wait a minute,” I said.
Today’s salty porridge side dish is ham and eggs.
I take two plates and go to the counter with the porridge.
“Thank you,” Margot said.
Uu, next is Shirley-san with one student in between them, Hilda-san should quietly eat the senior noble’s meal.
“Sweet porridge with honey,” Shirley said.
“It will be 500 dolancs,” Corinna said.
Shirley paid her the money.
Sweet, with honey.
Surprisingly, Hilda-san likes sweets.
Ladle it out, sprinkle it with honey, and serve it on the counter.
Shirley glanced behind her.
Over there, there were the Three Hungry Dress Sans.
“I’ll need to see your token,” Corinna said.
“All there of us don’t have one,” one of the Dress-sans said.
“Then, in cash, it will be 500 dolancs each,” Corinna said.
“The three of us are eating the upper-class noble’s meals, so we will just transfer that breakfast to the lower noble’s meal,” their Commander-san said.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t do that, you have to pay cash,” Corinna said.
“What are you talking about!? You are mocking us…”
Shirley-san approached the Three Hungry Dress-sans.
“I overheard Hilda-sama saying last night, ‘If they make a fuss at the cafeteria again, I’m going to show them what I am truly capable off.’, so I recommend that you, Ojou-samas, keep quiet,” Shirley said.
Their Commander-san looked quiet.
“Un-Undrestood, 500 hundred dolancs each, here…”
With one hand, Shirley-san snatched the five small silver coins that the Commander-senpai was about to throw at Corinna-chan.
“Hilda-sama requested they be made quiet,” Shirley said.
“I-I see,” Corinna stammered.
And when Shirley handed over the money to her, the other two Dress-sans obediently paid up.
“Thank you, Shirley-san,” I said.
“It’s nothing,” Shirley said.
I don’t think I imagined Shirley-san’s lips lifting up a little, just like a smile.
“Moving on, we’ve got salty and sweet porridge, what do you want?” I asked.
“The sweet one,” one of the Dress-sans said.
“Mine as well.”
“I’d like the same.”
“The sweet one can be topped with nuts or honey, what would you like?” I asked.
“With nuts.”
“Mine as well.”
“The same with mine.”
I wonder if the two young ladies that Commander-san is with are automated machines or something.
Too little subjectivity.
Three bowls of sweet porridge were served and nuts were sprinkled on top.
I put it on the counter, but the Dress-sans don’t touch it.
Just when I thought it was a new kind of harassment, three maids came, put the bowls of porridge on a tray, and carried it to the upper noble’s area.
In that case, I thought they should have sent their maids for them in the beginning, but I wonder if they just wanted to make a complaint and not just eat.
When I looked at Commander-san with flabbergasted eyes, she glared back at me.
“Fuhn, we’re leaving now,” Commander-san said.
“Haii.”
“Haii.”
The Three Hungry Dress-sans left.
Come to think of it, what happened to the discussion about the dormitory masters coming in to prevent trouble?
When I glanced at the dining room, I saw Estelle-senpai eating elegantly by the window in the upper-class noble’s area, and when she noticed my gaze, she waved.
I thought they should eat breakfast closer to the kitchen counter, but I reconsidered that and thought they could just stay there.
It’s still closer than the penthouse.
“Makoto, Corinna, good morning,” Carol said, arriving with a pata-pata patter.
Yeah, she looks cute this morning too.
“Good morning, Carol, it’s going to be 500 dolancs,” Corinna said.
“Alright, Corinna,” Carol said, handing over 5 small silver coins.
“Salty today too?” I asked.
“Salty, please,” Carol said.
I place the salty porridge in a bowl and place it on the counter with a plate of ham and eggs.
I put it on a tray and Carol picked it up.
“What’s Anne-san doing today?” I asked.
“I refused to let her accompany me because she has to clean,” Carol said.
In other words, Carol wanted to avoid Anne-san buying her porridge for her.
Carol happily started eating porridge at the table.
""
What’s going on, the table in the lower nobles’ area has all been filled up.
Geeze, when you’ve finished eating, don’t hesitate and get out of the cafeteria already.
“Marissa-san, can you man the counter please?” I asked.
“Ah, yes,” she said.
“I’m going to start restricting entry,” I said.
“Oh, I see,” Marissa said.
It’s better to limit them at the entrance rather than having them wait in line and then wait for a table with porridge already in hand.
“Attention, right now, it’s getting crowded, so we’re going to limit the number of people entering,” I said. “I’m very sorry, but I’d appreciate your cooperation. If you’re a lower-ranking noble, please line up now. If you’re a higher-ranking aristocrat, please enter later.”
“Huh, we’ll have to wait?”
“I’m sorry, there are no empty tables, so please wait for a while,” I said.
As they see the line forming, the students who were drinking tea at the table near the entrance hurriedly stood up.
“How many for your table?” I asked.
“Three of us.”
“Please use the table over there,” I said.
“Understood, thank you Bejeweled-san.”
Stop calling me Bejeweled-san.
After waiting in line for a while, the congestion in the cafeteria finally eased.
“Thank you for the meal, it was delicious today too. Work hard, Makoto,” Carol said as she left.
“See you later, in the classroom, Carol,” I said.
“Mm, see you later.”
When I calmly look at the clock, it’s 8:30.
I’m tired of the crowds today.
“Good work, Makoto-san, Corinna-san,” Marissa said.
“We were so busy today, huh?’ I said.
“Well, the customers will probably change like this,” Corinna said.
“Let’s do our best until Ilda-san comes back,” I said.
“Well, even if Ilda-san returns, won’t you guys stay here?” Marissa said.
“If you two man the counter and do the accounting work, we can concentrate on cooking,” Edra said.
“Well, I’ll discuss that with Ilda-san,” I said.
It’s only morning and night, so it’s okay to work part-time at the cafeteria.
“Ah, and I’m staying at the baron’s home today, but what should we do for tonight?” I asked.
“Have a nice day, there aren’t many customers on Saturday, so I’ll be at the counter,” Marissa said.
“Wow, Marissa-san, you’re so kind, thank you,” I said.
“Don’t worry, Makoto, I’ll take care of the rest,” Corinna said.
“Corinna-chan, you’re being so cool, too, thank you.”
Now, let’s take off the three-point headscarf and apron and go to school.
