It"s almost evening by the time I arrived at Sefi-san"s mansion.
And in the mansion, Sefi-san is... sleeping, figured.
Weird, wasn"t there an order she needed to rush? But I couldn"t bring myself to wake her
her when I saw her blissful sleeping face. She might have not enough sleep lately with all the stuff happening.
I quietly went to the kitchen while making sure not to make noise. Let"s make her something to eat for when she gets up.
Egg, milk, sugar, and vanilla essence. It should be obvious what I"m making with all these together. That"s right, pudding. Smooth pudding that won"t lose to Tamchan"s super smooth skin. There are times when even men crave for sweet, don"t you think. I refrain myself from making bucket pudding tho".
And here"s today"s menu.
Louiv Pork tonteki, bread, salad, mushroom stew, and for the desert, fruit punch and pudding.
Now then, it"s taken quite a bit of time, I should wake Sefi-san up, and have a meal. Ah right, I should ask her about the order too. Hafta confirm how much work should I help her with.
I put the food on the dining room and shake Sefi-san up.
"Sefi-san, your meal is ready you know? Please get up."
"...Mmmm, five hours more~"
"Way too long! I"ll do this to you if you won"t wake up."
I tickle Sefi-san"s foot. Without holding back.
"Hyaaaaa, iyaan, stop iit, ahahahafuuuun. Nmou, n.o.bu-chan, you meanie~."
"From what I saw the dining room, you didn"t eat anything after I left this morning, did you?
did you? Sefi-san is gonna drink all day if I leave you alone, so I"m gonna be stern on you. I don"t want you to get sick after all."
"n.o.bu-chan..."
"Here now, please have at them before they got cold. I"ve prepared your meal and desert with it, enjoy yourself."
"Uwaa, this look so good~. Ufufu, let"s dig in."
As expected of a carnivorous girl (in a different meaning?), she made a quick work of the meal. The way she eat is fascinating to watch. She could be a match for Mitama.
"Nnnnn. Swee~t. I love this pudding~."
"I"m glad that it"s to your taste. Right, how many potions do we have to make for the rush order? It must be a lot if you need my help, no?"
"Nnfuu, actually, it"s not that many? It"s 30 peach flavored potion bottles by tomorrow morning~. I think the order form is on the desk there~."
Sefi-san pointed at the living room while blissfully eating the pudding.
"Ah, then I"ll go fetch it."
30 bottles huh. I"m sure even Sefi-san alone could finish it easily. Well, she must have felt helpless due to the anxiety.
The desk, the desk... Ah, this huh. So what do we have here, by tomorrow morning.... 300 bottles!?
Waitaminute, isn"t it off by one digit!?
"Sefi-san. This order form, it"s asking for 300 potionsfor 300 potions though!?"
"Eh!?"
She stared hard at the order form I gave her then her eyes went round. And then, she slowly turned around to me with a pale face.
"O~oh~no~, I got it wrong~. W-w-w-what should we do. R-right~, since I won the drinking bout against Captain-commander back then, I should still have one request I could ask him. Make it so the order never existed..."
Sefi-san is panicking while holding the order form. Calm down a bit. Since the order is by Master"s subordinate, I would feel sorry for him. I mean, his forehead is quite receded enough from acc.u.mulated stress even though he"s not yet 30. If the 300 potion order was treated like it never existed, lotsa stuff would fall off the guy, in many ways.
"Please calm down. Where did you put the remaining ingredients, bottles, and equipment? I"ll lend a hand, let"s get it done quick. There should be enough time if we do this together and start now."
"Eh, ah, un, you"re right. Those stuff were packed in the vacant rooms, we could immediately begin after unpacking them. Thank you, n.o.bu-chan."
It kinda feels like I just can"t leave Sefi-san alone. And I think that part of her is quite cute, wonder if that means I"ve fallen that deep.
And thus, the curtain for our rushed life was lifted.
