Chapter 3: Symbiosis Mutualism [part 1]

TING ... TING ... TING ... TING ... TING ...

"Good kids, the class is over. Happy break. And don't forget to do your group tasks. The drug!" said Ms. Stella who immediately cleaned up her equipment and immediately walked quickly to the door. "Cheesecake, cheesecake, cheesecake! Don't run out!" And in haste he unknowingly uttered the snack he was after in the cafeteria. Cheesecake enthusiast I guess.

Huft... Stella's Mother's lesson ended, too. Tired if you have to be alone with the Edwardian. Huhhhhhhhhhhh... I don't think I'd be familiar with this guy, that's too polite. For me he was like wearing a mask that was predictable, just like me, but I did not really like the gentleman mask used by this Edwardian. Especially the name, it is difficult to spell! Why not Edward? Or is it Edi?

"Eril! Erill! Have lunch together!" Call Alviria who comes over and immediately holds my hand with both hands.

"Ummm... I want to go around the academy first actually, Wilhelm." My answer is to find a reason to stay away from Alviria, I am not comfortable with such a familiar person.

"That don't be so stiff! Just call me Vera. Then there's still a second break later, I'm watching it around but now we're lightening up the stomach first yuk!"

"Ehh..."

"You touring? I happen to be traveling around the academy too, wanting to join me?" Suddenly Edwardian slammed into our conversation with a smile.

"Well, it doesn't feel like it's noon! Hungry stomach. So, which way is the canteen, Vera? Yuk, the hunt before we run out of cake!" My spontaneous speech stood up from the chair and pulled Alviria's hand in a hurry. It's too bad to have to go around with this shitty guy.

"Eh? Eee? Ah, yes yes. Comeing! Samantha, let's go to the cafeteria together!" take Alviria to the girl who came with Edwardian, Samantha Von Meltere.

Samantha was a little surprised but she nodded and followed Alviria who was being dragged out of the classroom while Edwardian just waved at us, he then moved out of his chair and chatted with the bespectacled man sitting next to him Alviria, Thomas Shawn.

It took me six minutes to walk these annoying stairs while pulling Alviria's hands that didn't protest at all, instead he just smiled but his smile seemed to know that I was just making it an excuse to reject Edwardian's offer indirectly.

Finally arrived on the ground floor. "Ehehe... It turns out that you can also misbehave in front of the Edward, too" chuckled Alviria as she covered her mouth with her right palm.

"Tsk! I'm just rethinking that going around on an empty stomach is not a wise choice, not a personal matter. Huh..." It is my objection that takes the grip off his hand.

"Hee... That so?" Alviria asked who brought her face closer to me in a seductive tone.

"I told you, right! Come on, let's eat!" I replied with annoyance and the road left them both.

"It's through here." Alviria pulled my shoulder and pointed to the other hallway with a mischievous smile, on the other hand Samantha just giggled while covering her lips with her right hand.

"Egh!? I know how. Come on."

The three of us went together down the hall that had been flooded with students from other classes, they rushed to hunt for their favorite food before it ran out. Even so they are actually very organized, no one jostling or running and pushing each other. Everything looks so elegant. It is different from a favorite school.

Huhh... After waiting in line for about six minutes I was finally able to order eight strawberry shortcakes with vanilla milkshakes, what a queue that tested my patience. Although I didn't feel hungry but looking around from the looks of it, this shortcake made me want to devour it as much as possible whereas Alviria ordered pancakes with warm tea and Samantha ordered mushroom soup with orange juice.

"Sit there!" Take Alviria while pointing to the rectangular table that has two long chairs opposite each other, he sat first and put the tray of food a little hard until it sounded like a can being hit.

"Crsst ... It's noisy," said I, who sat next to him, putting my tray down slowly and gracefully. "Good meal!" Slowly, I bit this sweet shortcake. The shortcake taste in this academy is indeed very special! Sweet fitting! Savory, sour and soft. Oh my God, it feels so addictive! Hehe...

"Eril? Your face is smiling so why? Shortcake is good, right? Try dong!" Said Alviria who broke my concentration in enjoying this shortcake, she instead immediately tried to take one of my shortcakes.

Plaque!

"Ouch! Uh-h. Tickler." It was Alviria's strangulation that pulled back her hands that I flapped while petting her as if I was hitting her very hard, but not too hard.

"Sufficient glucose can keep me focused for the next lesson. Glucose deficiency is something that cannot be tolerated. Nyam!" I answered that still ate the third shortcake.

"Pff... Though he just gamau ration sweet snack reduced tuh," kekeh Alviria who continued scooping pancakes that easily scooped because the texture is so soft. With one large spoon he devoured his pancakes and he smiled, enjoying the sweet and soft taste. "People of the prestigious academy are very different! Savory butter plus maple syrup and a really soft dough! It feels like not willing to share. Hap! Hap!" Alviria clucked in awe and with the greed of the defeated pancakes she attacked mercilessly.

"Slowly, it is not good to eat in a hurry," I rebuked him who only responded with a slow nod accompanied by his smile that could not be hidden anymore. Yeah, I don't deny that the food in the academy's cafeteria is too delicious. I think they hired the greatest chefs for the prestige of this academy.

"This soup is also rich in taste" Samantha said to me in a slow and nervous voice glancing at me just before she bowed her face again.

"Yes. The soup here is definitely delicious. Different from my mother's," I said as necessary. Samantha Von Meltere came from a noble family that controlled the varioumvator mine. She was also a cousin of my mother, as my mother was from the Meltere family.

However, our relationship with the Meltere family is a bit tenuous due to the fray over the rare varioumvator, Grenzenlos. Grenzenlos actually got my father with great difficulty on the border of Meltere's ruins, but because the ruins were underground branching off into the land of the Meltere family then they felt more deserving of Varioumvator Grenzenlos.

In the end, to prevent unwanted commotion, the father handed it with a heavy heart into their hands, even though he had taken the legal route.

I honestly don't really remember what Samantha was like when we used to play together at eight years old, but when I heard her name in class hours it made me think of her. I guess why he kept his distance from me because he felt bad for his family's behavior to Draggrhurl.

"Yeah. Aunt Filena's soup really misses me. May the god of the weredragon always accompany him d-with health," he said slowly as if afraid to make me angry with him.

"Already, Mantha. Don't be so stiff. Forget about the problems between our families, it's our parents' business, not ours" I said softly, though I thought it was more assertive.

"I-iya sort of-"

"It's none of your business" I said bitterly to Edward, who cut Samantha's words.

"Ah, forgive my guts. By the way, can I have lunch with you guys?" Ask with a gentle smile, pffft... Just like butler.

"Find somewhere else"

"Here, here, sit next to just Mantha!" Alviria cut me off and spontaneously allowed Edwardian to sit at our table.

The irritated me threw a cynical look at the insensitive Alviria, or perhaps she took the initiative to prank me. Haizzz... This girl is very cute, even she is busy eating her pancakes without showing expression other than enjoying her pancakes.

Edwardian sat down and he pulled out two bright creamy short sticks from his pocket, which was familiar but I didn't really know what kind of eating style it was. He used the stick instead of a fork and spoon.

Heh ... Stupid timing. Then I'll spend this shortcake as soon as possible and go back to class instead of lingering in front of this guy. Thus, one by one I quickly but without reducing in the least to my chivalry because it will be troublesome if others label me as a greedy girl.

"Miss Draggrhurl? Eat you a lot too, yes," said Edwardian who glanced at my remaining two shortcakes.

"Isn't there a limit for you to interfere? And please don't wear miss. Dradrhurl is enough." My jerk kicked the table until Samantha was shocked to a small squeak while Alviria glanced at me with an excited look.

"Ah, pedestal. Forgive my sass-"

"Shut up! Your formal mask is making me sick! Don't get along, yeah! I was very uncomfortable with your behavior throughout the lesson, you know??" My protest is pressing the tone in every few words but trying to muffle the height of my tone so as not to attract attention.

"Well if that's what you want, but I don't wear any mask. See it? 100% organic, uhum~" ledek Edwardian who pointed at his cheek and turned around his face with a tone that was still too polite, I mean in the sense like a servant only.

"Fuck."

"By the way, Dragdrhurl. You want to try this osengan? This vegetable is delicious and nutritious, excellent for as an end-dish"

"I told you not to interfere in my affairs-hagh!" I could not speak when the vegetable stirring was forced into my mouth with his cane when I wanted to yell at this guy.

"Ah, it tastes delicious right? It's okay, it seems strange at first but it will taste better if chewed longer, hahaha ..." His laughter that did not look the tone he was teasing or not. All I could capture was the blissful tone that made me eat his vegetables.

Ehhh... Ehh? Tasty. Savory. Huh!? What kind of a stir-fry is this!? Crazy savory! Savory but not to make me tired, even I followed his advice and chewed it even longer. It turns out that as good as this, even I have never eaten stir frying since reincarnating. The last stir-fry I ever ate came from my old life where it was a cheap, tasteless dish if the cost of the parlour was insufficient.

"Ahaha, Dragdrhurl doesn't seem to mind. Then I'll help you spend one of your shortcakes" the hand of Edwardian who tried to touch the shortcake directly I hit as hard as possible until he was surprised, without me knowing my face it feels so red that shame flows every inch of my face.

Damn guy. When to play me!! Ehh... Ehh... Waita minute... The stick he was wearing... Then about my lips... That meant... Heh?? HUH!? Does it count as an indirect kiss!!? Heh! No kidding!

"B-b-be-" I groaned slowly which lowered my face while gripping my skirt with both hands.

"Sorry, I'm not going to take your cake. But I don't mind if you want to taste it again" said Edwardian, who offered me the stir-fry again.

"A- um ... Ji-if you don't mind ..." Samantha suddenly interrupted and thrust her now empty soup bowl. Edwardian then smiled and gave him some of his stir-fry.

"May I, may it fit your tongue" Edwardian replied as he moved some of his stir-fry to the bowl.

"Heeee... Me too! Me too! To dong! Hehe," said Alviria who thrust her empty plate to him who was giving stir-fry. Edwardian turned and gave it to Alviria. "Mac." He said happily.

"Be-b-b-beee-" the shame and resentment overflowed uncharacteristically in my chest, the grip of my hand growing stronger on my skirt.

"Hmmm? What's up Eril?" asked Alviria who was scooping the stir-fry with a surprised expression of the delicious taste. "That's delicious!"

"Yes right?" edwardian sahut who seemed pleased with Alviria's reaction.

"CAPOOOO!!" I finally shouted with my eyes closed and immediately drank the rest

my milkshake and snatched away from before them all with a great shame.

"Eril! How's cake?" Shouted Alviria who turned to me who walked quickly away from them.

"Vera bego's!" My old fool with the rest of his shortcakes.

"Relope ..." Alviria was confused by Eril's response.

Some of the disciples looked at me with curious gazes, but they said nothing but watched in silence as I walked past their table. Fuck the shortcake, it's better to just go back to class now, huh! So I went back to class and waited for the bell to ring.
