Chapter 1103 The Eve of the Celebration

The day before the celebration, the royal capital was already crowded with people and filled with a joyful atmosphere. In the church of the Tribunal, there was also an atmosphere of joy.

"Deploy things over there!"

"Tablecloth, where's the tablecloth?"

"Has anyone seen my apron?"

In the dining room and kitchen in a corner of the church, the students were busy and seemed very happy.

It's no wonder that although it is a ceremony, Duanmu Huai said after returning that our celebration has nothing to do with them. So these students were asked to prepare on their own, and the students also had a lot of fun and were quite enthusiastic at this time.

Because most of them are girls, they are mainly responsible for cooking in the kitchen or setting up in the restaurant. As for the physical work, they are naturally left to the few boys.

Hey, this is the tragedy of men in liberal arts classes. To others, a large group of girls surrounded by a few boys is simply an ideal harem, but you won’t know what it’s really like until you go in.

Now, in the kitchen, several girls were handling the ingredients and discussing the content of the dishes.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Curry, everyone hasn't eaten curry for a long time. I found spices very similar to curry in the market here before, so I bought them back."

"Are you sure it smells like curry? The last time I went to buy seasoning, I thought it was yellow pepper-like particles, but it turned out to be sweeter than sugar! The seasonings in this world are completely different from what we have seen."

"I really want to make cakes, but the flour in this world is completely different from what I've used, and I can't find any good baking powder..."

"Speaking of eggs, they are not sold here. Only the nobles have special offers, and they are small eggs, which is completely different from what I thought."

The girls who were cooking were also quite worried at the moment. It is said that you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are when you are not a householder. Who can best understand the difference between the other world and the modern world, it is the girls in charge of cooking. The seasonings are different, the ingredients are different, and even the purchased meat has a fishy smell.

This is completely different from the frozen chicken that everyone used to buy in the supermarket. It is not on the same level at all.

"The teacher said that the meat smells fishy because the blood has not been drained cleanly. It needs to be hung up to drain out the blood..."

"Ugh... to be honest, I don't really want to see that scene..."

Catching birds and hunting are no longer stressful for current students. Students in the frontline group will now go into the forest and kill some animals and bring them back as food.

But for the students in charge of cooking, it was bad luck. They are just like the wives whose husbands come back from fishing. The former will go home and throw the fish away after enjoying the fishing, while the latter will have to cut off the scales and remove the gills painfully, leaving their hands covered with blood. It may not be delicious when it comes out...after all, it's not as good as what's sold in the mall.

Unfortunately, there is no such convenient thing as a department store in this world, so the girls in the cooking team can only grit their teeth and hold knives to disembowel the animal carcasses, pull out the bones and peel off the skin... They finally understand now How difficult it is to be a housewife.

Although it was painful, the cooking team finally showed their special skills at the banquet. When the banquet began, dishes that were all too familiar to the students were placed in front of them.

Burgers, French fries, grilled chicken... are all common things, but to the students who come to this world, these are simply delicacies!

"That's great!"

"I never thought that one day I would burst into tears eating hamburgers..."

One student was chewing a hamburger and was about to cry.

In the original world, burgers were commonplace items in fast food restaurants, and they were all tired of eating them. After arriving in this world, they discovered how difficult it was to eat food like a hamburger. First of all, the bread here is all rye bread, which is not as sweet and delicious as the bread they eat, and even has a sour taste.

Other things are similar, whether it is food, clothing, housing and transportation... Well, traveling to this world for so many days is like going to the mountains and countryside to remember the hardships and sweet things. They have never thought about how important the things they see and take for granted in their daily lives are.

It is said that human beings will only understand the importance of air when they lose it, and it is nothing more than this.

"Delicious………"

Even Liliana also attended the banquet and her eyes widened in surprise while eating the burger in her hand.

"Is this the food of your world, Lord Brave? It's really delicious..."

As she spoke, Liliana looked at Duanmu Huai. When she heard that the Tribunal was going to hold a banquet, Liliana had said that she could ask the palace to send an imperial chef to help. But Duanmu Huai refused, saying that these students should be able to provide enough food and clothing by themselves - now it seems that it is no wonder that he would do this, even in Liliana's view, these foods are not only unique in preparation, but even taste better than those she has eaten. Royal cuisine is much stronger.

"Okay."

Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders and said nothing more. The backward world is like this. The condiments that can be seen everywhere in modern times are all products of industrialization. In this world, they are delicacies that even the royal family can hardly enjoy every meal. Meat from large-scale farming is also species-modified and will definitely taste better than wild beasts hunted directly from the forest.

This is why game is often not as delicious as domestic chicken. People mostly eat game fresh, but if they really want to enjoy delicious food, it must be improved.

Strawberries grown in the wild and specially grown strawberries have different tastes.

"alright."

When the dinner came to an end, Duanmu Huai, who was sitting at the end of the long table, stood up, clapped his hands, and shouted loudly. When they heard his voice, the students who were still chatting hurriedly turned their heads to look at him and closed their mouths.

"We have been in this world for a while. I have to say that you have done a good job, including the Bastion Fortress. To be honest, your performance really surprised me. I originally thought that even if you had the power, I just shivered in fear and hid aside to cry. I didn’t expect everyone to be very brave... Well, in my opinion, you did a great job!"

"hey-hey………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's praise, everyone laughed sheepishly. After all, Duanmu Huai is not the kind of person who usually praises others. Now when they heard his praise, everyone was very happy.

"I think you may be worried about whether we can return to our original world, but I can assure you that this is not a problem, we will definitely be able to go back!"

"real?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the students' eyes suddenly lit up. Although they had a lot of fun traveling to another world, it is just like traveling. You just go to a remote and backward place to experience life. If you can If so, everyone would definitely want to return to that more modern, convenient and familiar hometown.

"Of course, I already have a way. You don't have to worry about this. As for the specific situation, you will know it by then."

Duanmuhuai waved his hand and did not elaborate, but the students breathed a sigh of relief. They knew Duanmu Huai very well and knew that he would not make nonsense without being sure. Since Duanmu Huai said it was okay, then it must be okay... at least that's what they thought.

Next, the banquet gradually came to an end, and Duanmu Huai also stood up and left, but before leaving, he waved to Kumiko Huangzen.

"Huang Qian, come to my room later."

"Huh? Ah, yes."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Huangqian Kumiko was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Duanmu Huai then walked out of the banquet hall without saying anything. Looking at Duanmu Huai's retreating back, Huang Qian Kumiko seemed a little uneasy... Why did the teacher ask me to go to his room so late? Could it be that he wanted to do something to me? Do I want to change my clothes? Or should I take a shower?

"Kumiko?"

Just when Kumiko Huangzen was uneasy and thinking about things, suddenly the voice of Rena Kousaka came to her ears. She was so frightened that she quickly turned her head and saw her friend's beautiful face right in front of her.

"What's wrong?"

"Ah, it's nothing. The teacher wants me to go to his room later."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Hearing Kumiko Kumiko's answer, Reina Kosaka just nodded without saying anything more. This surprised Kumiko Komae. She originally thought that Reina Kosaka would be worried about her... Well, thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is really nothing to worry about?

"What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Faced with Rina Kosaka's confused inquiry, Kumiko Huangzen shook her head.

Maybe I think too much. After all, the teacher can’t see that he has that kind of intention for me. It’s clear that he didn’t have such thoughts before...

Although she thought so, when Huang Qian Kumiko actually came to the door of Duanmu Huai's room, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She took a deep breath, then reached out and knocked on the door.

"Teacher, I am Huang Qian."

"Oh, come in."

"excuse me."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Huangqian Kumiko opened the door and walked in. Then she saw Duanmuhuai sitting at the table, and opposite him, sat a petite and cute girl who looked like a junior high school student. , from her iconic cane and beret, Kumiko Huangmae immediately recognized that this was her classmate Kotoko Iwanaga.

Unlike Kumiko Huangzen and other frontline teams, Kotoko Iwanaga and Rui Tachibana have been responsible for protecting Tachibana Haruna during this period. The latter's bounden duty is not to fight, but as the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people, and Tachibana Haruna who can improve crops and increase production has been from In a sense, he is a more important being than a hero.

After all, as long as the demon is eliminated, the hero will be useless. But one cannot go a day without eating.

Because of this, unlike Kumiko Huangzen and others who have been fighting on the front line all day long, Tachibana Harina and the others have been staying in the rear to be responsible for increasing agricultural production. The danger is not dangerous - well, of course, if it simply refers to being attacked by demons if.

The problem is that the danger to Kikuharina and the others does not come from the devil.

"All in all, that's the situation. To be honest, it's a bit tricky."

Here Iwanaga Kotoko has finished her report, looking at Duanmuhuai with a smile, and the latter nodded slightly. To be honest, Duanmuhuai was not very impressed by the student Iwanaga Kotoko before because he had not had much contact with him. But I have to admit that after listening to her report this time, Duanmu Huai found that this little girl was very good at observation.

According to Iwanaga Kotoko's report, the Heilish Kingdom has always wanted to keep Kikyo Harina. The reason is naturally due to the technology she possesses to increase land production. For this reason, the Heilixi Kingdom has also spent a lot of money. All the people sent to protect Tachibana Haruna are the kind of handsome guys who can be the protagonists in otome games. The sunny type, the warm-hearted type, the ruffian type, it is dizzying to see.

In addition, every time they go to a territory, the latter will send their sons to come forward, or hold banquets and dances to lure Kikyo Haruna to take the bait. To be honest, although this is not as bloody as the front line of swords and swords, it is no less dangerous than the front line. After all, Huangzen Kumiko and the others are still smart, but Kikuharina... To put it mildly, from the fact that she easily attracts scumbags, this teacher is probably not very smart.

So much so that it took a lot of effort for Kotoko Iwanaga and Rui Tachibana to act as her "guards".

Listening to Iwanaga Kotoko's report, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but think of the game he played before. The protagonist was a servant in the family. The task of the game was to prevent the mistress and eldest lady of the family from being attacked by outsiders such as villagers, doctors, and students. , once the prevention fails, the hostesses and eldest ladies who have little resistance in the first place will become the targets of the tauren's ecstatic dance.

Tachibana Haruna is like the hostess in that game, and Iwanaga Kotoko and Tachibana Rui are like the protagonists, trying every possible means to stop the evil hands reaching out towards Tachibana Harina from all directions.

Of course, for Duanmu Huai, failure is failure, as long as it can be remembered. He has no idea about such a brainless woman.

"Excuse me, well done."

"No matter where you are, no matter what world you are in, these despicable adults are all the same. Compared to hells and demons that I am not familiar with, this is much easier to deal with. After all, there is no contraception in this world. , they must be thinking that if they can get Teacher Tachibana pregnant with one shot, she will stay here. Men are really simple, no matter what kind of conspiracy, in the final analysis, they still want to use this to solve the problem."

While speaking, Iwanaga Kotoko raised her hand, made a circle with one hand, and inserted her fingers into it with the other hand.

"Okay, okay, you little kid can't learn this."

Seeing what Kotoko Iwanaga did, Duanmuhuai rolled his eyes helplessly. This little girl is good at everything, but she always likes to speak in a pornographic accent. She is obviously a young lady, but where did she learn this?

But Duanmu Huai also had to admit that it was indeed true in many cases...especially when dealing with women like Kiyoko.

She can become a mistress for "true love". Isn't it natural for such a woman to be deceived?

If Tachibana Rui and Iwanaga Kotoko hadn't kept a close eye on her, Tachibana Harina might be lying on some noble's bed now.

"That's it."

Seeing Huangmae Kumiko walking in, Duanmu Huai also said to Iwanaga Kotoko, who nodded and stood up, then put on the beret again.

"Then teacher, I'll take my leave now."

"Um, oh, by the way, just do as I say tomorrow, no problem."

"Please leave it to me, absolutely no problem."

After saying this, Iwanaga Kotoko said hello to Huangmae Kumiko, then turned and left. Watching Iwanaga Kotoko leave, Huangmae Kumiko sat down.

"Excuse me... what does the teacher want from me?"

"It's about the parade tomorrow."

"ah………"

Hearing this, Huang Qian Kumiko suddenly realized that she had already heard from Liliana about the specific situation. They will also participate in tomorrow's celebration, with Duanmu Huai as the brave man who destroys the devil. As for themselves and others, they are the heroes who protected the Bastion Fortress. They will circle the city along King Street during the parade and celebration, accepting the cheers and praises of the people.

Duanmu Huai was not interested in this, but the students were still quite interested.

"Are you ready for tomorrow?"

"Well, we decided to wear uniforms..."

After all, in Japan, students generally wear uniforms on formal occasions.

"Oh, that's how it is."

Duanmuhuai nodded.

"That's easy. I want you to be fully armed tomorrow."

"Hey? Do you want to be fully armed?"

Huangqian Kumiko was a little surprised when she heard Duanmuhuai's words. When they come to this world to fight, they will definitely not be wearing the uniforms of Kuou Academy. Instead, they will be wearing the armor of this world. Of course, everyone is different, so the equipment is also varied. It doesn't matter if you wear it like this when going to battle on weekdays, but wearing it like this during parades and celebrations - it is somewhat difficult for the Japanese who value uniformity.

But Duanmuhuai doesn't care about this.

"That's right, at most hang a cloak outside, and be prepared for battle."

"...Teacher? Preparing for battle? Are we going to fight any enemy?"

"It's just a premonition. In short, you go and make it clear to the people in the frontline team that they will be ready for battle tomorrow and listen to my orders at any time. The people in the logistics team will stay in the church on standby, and Mary will be in charge of being ready to support at any time. Why do you think I want you to celebrate a day in advance? I'm afraid that you might not be in the same mood tomorrow. In short, be careful and don't get too immersed in the celebration."

"Well……………"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's unceremonious answer, Huangqian Kumiko was a little embarrassed, but soon she recovered her mood and nodded.

"I understand, teacher."
