Chapter 7: Extra realizes that coffee and cake are delicious

“What’s your relationship with the president?”

“…A relationship where we grabbed each other’s chins?”

The board game recommended by the president was quite fun.

But, on the contrary, the thought of joining the board game club disappeared.

First of all, when I asked what they do in the board game club, it’s not just playing board games, but the main activities are making them or creating settings.

To do that, they form teams, and they submit it as a project for about a year.

I was skeptical that I could do that kind of activity well, and most importantly, I wasn’t interested.

It would have been nice if I could just play board games as a hobby, but unfortunately, it was eliminated there.

And, the fact that I might run into the president was also one of the reasons.

I said it was ‘reconciliation’, but I wasn’t a good enough person to be comfortable dealing with that person right after that.

Unless the president came directly to my class, I didn’t want to meet her.

It was also burdensome that my emotions were all read.

“I’ve never talked to the president this closely before.”

“Me too. While talking, I wondered if this was real.”

However, unlike me, who was tired from getting involved twice today, Sohee and Jia were just dazed from seeing and talking to the president up close for the first time since entering high school.

Actually, that’s the reaction of most of the students.

It would be fine if she was just the student council president, but since she also has the position of a princess, her popularity in the academy alone was more than that of a celebrity.

During commuting hours, she’s surrounded by those followers, so it’s hard to approach her, and unless you’re in the same grade or a member of the student council, it’s not easy to even talk to her once, so playing a game together like this was very rare.

Originally, she would have been a senior I had never talked to, but I don’t know how I got involved and it turned out like this.

“I never thought I’d see golden eyes so close, but it was amazing to see them up close. The kids at Aria Academy will see that person every time they go to school.”

Sejeong, who was walking next to me, also had a lot to say, perhaps because she was amazed to meet the president.

Originally, we were supposed to meet a little later… well, it didn’t matter if we thought it was a little earlier.

The scene of meeting in the comic wasn’t very dramatic either.

It was just seeing the president standing in front of the podium when we were having an assembly in the auditorium.

The situation of meeting while experiencing a club like this was rather more dramatic.

“You get used to it.”

“Really? I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it, even if I see it every day…”

Personally, it was more amazing that the main character of the comic I was reading was right next to me.

And, I honestly can’t believe that that person is a hidden royal.

‘…You wouldn’t believe it if I told you that you’re also a royal, right?’

It was obvious that she would just think it was a joke if I suddenly said that.

Because she had ordinary black eyes that could be seen anywhere.

Her ability hasn’t been manifested yet.

She manifests her ability a little later.

So, it’s 3 days before the festival is held at the academy.

At that time, the ability she manifested towards a junior she saved while rescuing a junior in middle school was a ‘healing’ ability that seemed to appear only in fantasy, and in the early part of the work, it only healed small wounds, but later it develops into an amazing ability that can survive even if she falls from the rooftop.

‘…The problem is that I’m the one who dropped her.’

Anyway, since that won’t happen this time, if she becomes a royal through the manifestation of her ability, I just have to congratulate her.

The same goes for when she gets married to other heroines.

If we stay friends, I’ll probably get a wedding invitation.

‘It was quite fancy when I saw it in the comic.’

From the wedding hall to the buffet.

Since the three heroines were all people who were not inferior in terms of money, the scale was also considerable.

If it were my past life, I wouldn’t have looked down on women marrying women in Korea, but in the comic, Korea was a country where marriage and polygamy between women were legally permitted, so it didn’t matter.

How is that possible, even if you ask, I don’t know.

The author just answered in the Q&A at the end of the comic that it was a setting full of his own desires.

It’s all said and done that even I didn’t feel strange about that phenomenon until before I had memories of my past life.

‘…Will I also get married to a woman?’

I hated men.

I hated them to death.

I had a repulsion to men originally, but now I was really impossible in that direction.

Then the probability of dating a woman is the highest… I don’t know now.

Probably when I graduate from the academy and get a job, I’ll meet a good person.

My future self will take care of it.

“It should be visible soon.”

More than that, finding the outdoor booth of the cafe club was first.

It was clearly said to be on the lawn of Peony Hall…

“Ah, isn’t that the place we see over there?”

“Where?”

“There it is! There are so many tables lined up there.”

“That’s right. It’s the same as what the transfer student showed us.”

When I got a little closer, I could clearly see the sign.

‘Cafe Club. An elegant day with a delicious cup of coffee or tea.’

A person wearing a brown apron like a cafe part-timer over their school uniform was holding coffee, tea, and cake, and when the number was called, the students were receiving coffee or tea.

As I got closer, a helper gave us each a number.

“Are you here for the experience? When your number is called, you can go over there and get it. You can choose coffee or black tea when you go, so choose what you want.”

“Number 6! Number 6 student!”

‘I’m number 12.’

I received it first, so I was number 12.

Sohee, Jia, and Sejeong received 13, 14, and 15 in that order.

It might take longer than I thought.

“How about sitting over there?”

When I looked in the direction Sohee pointed, I saw a moderately shaded place next to a tree.

There were exactly four chairs.

“It’s good. Let’s sit there for now.”

In a short time, I cooked, played board games.

I’ve been around a lot.

Now, when I thought that all I had to do was drink tea and take a breather before going home, I felt the fatigue I had forgotten.

As soon as I sat down, I lowered my upper body almost as if I was lying down.

“Haaa…”

Ah, I made a sound without realizing it.

“Are you tired?”

Sejeong asked me.

“A little?”

“Still, that posture isn’t good for your spine.”

“It’s okay. I’m still energetic.”

“Pfft, what’s that… You’re saying something like an old man.”

‘…’

I don’t know if she said that knowing, but my conscience was pricked.

Am I unconsciously using expressions from my past life?

I need to be a little more careful.

“We did a lot today. It’s understandable that the princess is tired.”

“Cooking, board games… When we did the club experience before, we just went home, so today was the most fulfilling!”

“Really? Still, isn’t the main gate locked when it’s not dismissal time?”

“Ah, there’s a way for that…”

When I was dazed for a moment, the three of them started talking on their own.

Even when we were in the cooking club, it seemed awkward, but it seems to have loosened up a bit while playing the game.

Having said that, I still feel a bit of a wall, but if we stay together as classmates, we’ll get close.

Chaa.

So, when I was watching the three of them, melting into the sound of the wind.

Poke.

Sejeong poked my cheek.

“Why are you poking me?”

Honestly, it felt more like she was gently placing it rather than poking it, but I still protest.

“Hmm… Because it looks soft?”

“What’s that.”

Seeing her say that, it seems that I’ve become much more comfortable than I thought.

It’s understandable.

We spent the whole day together and played so hard.

“I’ll poke too.”

“Me too!”

“What are you two doing?”

As I sat still, my left cheek, which was not being held by my arm, was constantly attacked.

Is this the feeling of a lion lying still?

I should bite them.

“Number 12! Number 12 student!”

…I should bite them later.

“Hayeon-ah, they’re calling you?”

“I know, right. I’ll be back.”

Mmmm.

I stretched my body to the fullest, then got up from my seat and headed to the place where the number was called.

There was a table like the one we were sitting at, but the difference was that there was a teapot for tea and cake on display.

“Would you like coffee or black tea?”

“Coffee, please.”

“Yes. The cake is only one kind, but it’s a confident kind made directly in the cafe club. Enjoy.”

‘They’re kind.’

It was as kind as if I had come to a real cafe on the street, not a club.

The cake looked delicious, and the coffee smelled like it was brewed directly.

It’s just, this also seemed a bit much to join as a club.

‘If I join the club, I have to learn all that.’

I have a palate that eats coffee or tea well even as instant, so I don’t feel the need to brew beans or steep tea leaves.

Making cake is also not really…

“Wow, did they make this here?”

“Yes. It’s handmade.”

“It looks delicious. I should get it quickly.”

Sohee, who was called right after I received it, passed me as I returned to my seat.

If we’re going to do this, I thought it would be better to give one number per group, but there might be people who come alone, so I guess they considered that

“Hmm, hmm…”

‘…It’s delicious.’

The cake and coffee I ate while sitting in my seat were a very good match.

To the point where I want to eat it every day.

‘Next time, should the four of us, including Sejeong, go cafe hopping?’

I don’t know about the club, but I liked this more than I thought.

At the time when the four of them were enjoying cake and tea and chatting.

“…Sejeong?”

A woman was standing in the glass of the passage overlooking the entire lawn.

The school uniform was unusually sharp, even though the academy emphasized that the school rules must be strictly observed.

A neatly tied ponytail.

And, a bracelet mixed with black and red, meaning the disciplinary committee, on her left arm.

‘And next to her is…’

The disciplinary committee president, Baek Ahra.

‘Kim Hayeon…?’

She was confused by the two mismatched combinations of her childhood friend, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, and a delinquent.
