Chapter 174: Busy Stalls and Troublemakers
"That's what I'm saying. Everyone is very busy right now, so you two boys should be more serious."
Stephanie, who was in charge of preparing tea and drinks, also raised her head and stared at the two of them with her beautiful amber eyes and complained.
"Sorry~sorry. The crepes for table 7 are ready."
"Come on, come on."
After handing the meal to Elajeel, Alfred turned to help Stephanie prepare drinks.
"You really can do everything. Fortunately, not all nobles in the empire are as versatile as you."
Stephanie looked at Alfred with a complicated expression as he skillfully prepared various drinks. She couldn't help but complain.
"Not really. I only know a little bit about everything. I can't compare with experts in these areas. The cappuccino at table 3 is ready."
"I see. Table 1 wants two crepes with vanilla ice cream. And three chocolate crepes for takeout."
Rosalie took the tray and informed Alfred.
"Okay, I'll get ready."
While everyone was busy, an uninvited guest came to the kitchen of the stall to cause trouble.
"Ah, Al, you guys are really busy here. It's hard to imagine that this is a first-year student's booth~"
The woman who was speaking had beautiful light chestnut curly hair, greenish amber eyes, and a very pretty, youthful face.
Apart from his extremely beautiful appearance, he looks no different from other humans.
But Alfred recognized the other person's true identity at a glance.
"Al..."
Before Alfred could say the other person's name, Alberta used some kind of silencing magic to make him completely unable to make any sound.
She also made a shushing gesture, signaling Alfred not to reveal his identity.
"Excuse me, who are you? If it's not urgent, please leave as soon as possible. We are really busy here."
Liliana put a new plate of egg tarts into the oven, set the timer, and then began to prepare the cheese tarts to be baked in another oven.
"Ms. Liliana, are the egg tarts ready now?"
Adelaide asked a little tiredly.
"Just put it in, wait a moment."
"Uh...the cheese tarts, puffs...never mind, this is the list, take your time to read it."
Adelaide gave up halfway through his words and handed the note directly to Liliana.
"You need so much... Can those seniors finish it all..."
"They said they were going to use a space ring to store it. Anyway, the food won't go bad that way. Oh, by the way, there should be twenty more donuts at the end of the list. Leonard, you should prepare them as soon as possible."
"Twenty copies... No way, here we go again."
Leonard wailed. Although he was reluctant, his body still started to work obediently, putting the donuts into the frying pan.
Because the taste is good, and it is just a winter day event at the academy, the price of the dessert is much cheaper than the cafes and dessert houses in the shopping street. It is probably equivalent to a 20% to 70% discount.
In addition, there is a space ring, a convenient item that can freeze the time of things stored inside. Food can be stored for a long time without spoiling.
Many senior students and a small number of senior students who also love sweets seemed to be planning to take this opportunity to buy more and save them for later.
Because there is a big order like this from time to time, Alfred and his team are so busy.
"Ms. Liliana, is it really okay for you to treat me so coldly? I am one of the judges of the competition."
After everyone finished speaking, Alberta started teasing Liliana.
Liliana was slightly stunned when she heard her say that.
"Since you are a judge, please don't disturb us while we are working."
Liliana argued a little flustered.
"That is to say, please stop now, otherwise I will send someone to take you away."
Alfred also helped Liliana. Bullying and teasing Liliana was her job.
As for the person Alfred planned to call, it was Sabrina, the only one who could control Alberta.
"Wow! You actually used Lina to threaten me. This move is a bit too despicable, Al!"
"That's not a threat. I just think you're really troublesome, so I want to give the troublesome job to the right person."
Alfred prepared the crepes that were ordered, and when he had some free time, he immediately helped the busy Leonard to fry the donuts.
"You actually still look down on me... Ugh! I want to order food too. Since I'm a customer, Al, you guys can't neglect me, hehe~"
(So, what is she so proud of?)
Alfred was a little dumbfounded when he saw Alberta acting like a willful child.
Although she behaves extremely childishly, this high elf is indeed the current principal of Illya Arya. She is also regarded by outsiders as a very outstanding and talented young elven woman.
It's really sad.
Alfred thought that one of the people who made such comments and this world must be completely broken.
"If you want to order food, please ask Ella and the others to come and make trouble in the kitchen. Another thing is that we only provide take-out service to students, so don't try to cause trouble for us by ordering a lot of food at once, Miss Instructor."
"Ouch! Damn it~"
Alberta puffed up her cheeks in indignation, probably because her thoughts were completely guessed.
"Well, since you have nothing else to do, please leave now."
While the donuts were being fried, Alfred handed over the task of applying chocolate and sprinkling toppings to Leonard, and put his hands on Alberta's shoulders, trying to force her out of the back kitchen of the stall.
Because the stall itself was very small, Alfred and his team also prepared a lot of magical devices.
In the already small space, Alberta, who did nothing, was standing there. Even if she said nothing and did nothing, she would still be a nuisance.
"Woooooooooooooooooooo Al, stop pushing me! I get it, I'm going to go out~"
"Oh Ella, you're here just in time. This tutor wants to order food, please help me."
When Alfred saw Ella coming back, he pushed Alberta out happily.
“Oh, okay. Al, Aeril-senpai asked me to inform you. The student council is busier than expected, so Rose-senpai and the others may not have time to come.”
Elaje glanced at Alberta and continued speaking somewhat at a loss.
"So Aeril-senpai hopes to bring back some desserts for Rose and the others."
"I understand. Let's get ready now."
Alfred said as he took the note from Elajeer.
