Chapter 14: The Soy Sauce Crowd (Part 2)

  Alicia got up very early. Today was the official start of classes, and she didn't want to face her scatterbrained instructor's unlimited punishment for being late.

  Although Eriol was skeptical about whether Kurisu could appear in the classroom at exactly 8:00.

  Eri: "It's been so long and we're just starting class now? Author, you're not dragging out the plot, are you?"

  I didn't drag out the plot, really.

  I'm just padding the word count.

  Alicia: "Can I hit you?"

  The little loli in uniform pulled open the curtains, letting warm sunlight pour into the room. The golden morning light shone together with Eriol's hair of the same color, radiating a beautiful glow that made her lively and smiling face even more captivating. If accompanied by an OP that was either motivational or heartwarming, it would make for a great opening to some new anime work that specializes in selling moe.

  It's really sorry that this page doesn't support music playback function...

  Alicia's movements woke up the other three girls who were still hiding under the quilt.

  "Hey, Cecilia, why didn't you dress up as a magical girl today?" Eriol quipped at Cecilia, who was changing clothes, while giving a sidelong glance to Rihua, whose eyes were shining with red hearts and mouth watering in an attempt to pounce on both of them at the same time.

  "Well, it's a bit cold today."

  It was also very cold yesterday, but when I saw you cosplaying, you didn't wear more clothes.

  "By the way, why did you dress up as Melur when cosplaying as a magical girl?" Eriol had been bothered by this question for a whole day.

  "Because this way all the sisters in the world can properly and justifiably punch and kick their brothers and scold them."

  "Sorry, I think some of you brothers are not so sister-obsessed..."

  I am the dividing line of sis-con

  After going through a daily-like breakfast again, Eriol and the others finally arrived at the classroom of Class A of the first year - if the eight girls from two dormitories didn't cause a major traffic accident on their way to the cafeteria, if the twin-tailed, braided boy who could usually be treated as a background extra but sometimes suddenly appeared with extreme situations such as fainting or going berserk wasn't hit on by boys, if Rihua didn't beat up anyone who hit on her, and if some enthusiastic single-celled organism didn't come over to say hello after they finally sat down, and the twin-tailed, braided boy didn't flip the table and go on a rampage... maybe, probably, possibly, it could be called an ordinary breakfast.

  What a wonderful morning it is - I wonder if there's something strange mixed in?

  When the school bell rang, Eriol didn't unexpectedly find out that Kuris did not come.

  Perhaps it was her behavior yesterday that gave everyone a bottom line, and no one in the class found it strange. Until a few minutes later, when the door opened and Christy appeared before everyone's eyes, even the greatest calm emperor couldn't maintain his poker face. Not washing her face or combing her hair was nothing, after all, no one expected her to do so - but she actually didn't wear the teacher's magic robe, and came running in directly in a nightgown!!! And what's even more outrageous is that despite looking like she hadn't woken up yet, she still had that chocolate bar that was almost becoming a trademark stuck in her mouth, did she sleep with it in her mouth too?

  "Oh dear, sorry about that. I went out with friends for a drink yesterday." Chris rubbed her forehead and said, "Let's just have a self-study session in this morning's class."

  "Ah, teacher, your clothes..." someone reminded him cautiously.

  "Oh?" Chris looked down at the semi-transparent silk nightgown that was about to be sacrificed for a killer shot, then raised her head and smiled, "How's this? Is it enough? Has anyone gotten a nosebleed yet?"

  Can't you have some self-awareness as a teacher?!

  The little loli finally couldn't help but say: "Actually, if you change into a swimsuit, the effect will be even better - just don't forget to add a warming spell for yourself."

  "Not bad proposal, uh, no... UGH!!" And with that, a clearly hungover Chris vomited on the podium.

  Can our so-called elite class really graduate smoothly with no one left behind?

  Alicia, who couldn't bear to watch anymore, stood up and began to tidy up: "Cecilia, Kasia, come over and help me carry this drunk cat to the bathroom; Sophia, go find someone to clean the floor and air out the classroom."

  Cecilia, holding up the shaky Chris, complained: "You should have called a boy to do this kind of physical labor?"

  Alicia smiled wryly and supported Kureisu saying: "Are you sure that when Kureisu wakes up, she won't get angry about this?"

  Charsi shuddered at the memory of Kriss's magnificent combo from yesterday.

  I am a divider line

  When Chris reappeared in the classroom, drenched from head to toe and shivering with cold, the class meeting was almost over.

  "Alright, I'll keep it brief." Chris looked radiant and spirited, not at all like she was on the verge of collapsing from intoxication just moments before. She had a perfect "model teacher" demeanor - if you ignored the fact that she was still wearing her pajamas and sucking on a chocolate bar. "Every new student must join at least one club within a week, but I won't be keeping tabs on what kind of clubs you join, as long as you join something. This week after school, various clubs will be doing promotions in front of the lake between the boys' and girls' dorms to recruit new members, so just go pick one at random."

  Even with a serious expression, you're still not being serious... And that chocolate stick should be spat out!

  "Teacher, can we create our own community?" asked a soy sauce.

  "It's okay, but it takes three days to get the approval, so be careful not to delay." Chris patted her hand, "Any other questions? If not, let's get ready for class..."

  With a "whoosh", the classroom door was pulled open. Norman, drenched from head to toe, bent down and slipped inside.

  "Can you tell me what you've been up to all this time?" Chris's eyebrows were jumping.

  "Oh, mentor, it's like this. When I walked out of the dorm in the morning, I ran into a little cat that had climbed up a tree and couldn't get down, so I helped it out. Then on the way, I met a teacher whose papers were blown all over the place by the wind, so I helped him pick them up. Next, I was stopped by a patrolling teacher who maintains order in the school and asked if I had taken a wrong turn, but after showing my student ID, everything was cleared up. After that, at the entrance of the teaching building, someone from upstairs poured a bucket of dirty water with a strong smell of alcohol all over me (Eriol clearly saw the abdomen-black girl Sophia shrink back). So I could only go to the bathroom to wash up. But that bathroom..."

  "Never mind, I know already," said Kris with a wave of her hand. "To be honest, your right hand can dispel any magic, can't it?"

  At least when Mom's selling appearance is more worthy of the audience than this silly big one!! The other party's most basic is also a punchable (divine beast) palace male lead face, hey!! What's with "this classmate"? You're the instructor of this class, remember your students' names and appearances clearly, you bad teacher!!

  I am a divider line

  Eriol had no idea that the formal lecturer, Chris, was very serious and responsible, and her lectures were also easy to understand - but if she wasn't quite capable, Howard wouldn't have taken a default attitude towards her and Lawrence's little movements this year.

  But her nightgown and the chocolate bar in her mouth are really an existence that breaks through the degree of residual nostalgia...

  Before the morning class ended, Sophia was appointed as the class leader - Eliya estimated that she also had some impression of this new student representative - Chris swung her fluttering light purple short hair and flashed away. In the afternoon, it wasn't a magic foundation course but an alchemy introduction, and little Luo couldn't help but maliciously speculate whether Chris would go drink again after class was already over for her today.

  But she had no way of going down to the end of the line to verify her conjecture.

  "Join our [Beep---] department! Our department head promised that as long as you join this club, you can become a deputy department head!"

  "No, it's better to join our [Beep—] department! We provide afternoon tea here!"

  "No no no, if we're talking about benefits, our [HR] department is the best!!"

  Looking at the club members blocking her and Sophia's way in the corridor, Eriol was speechless.

  Not to mention the author is lazy again, that guy holding the "Lolita fan club" sign who looks like an uncle with premature aging syndrome, are you sure it's suitable for me to join?!

  The seniors in front of me have a spirit that doesn't give up until they achieve their goal. They joined forces to corner the beautiful girls from Class A, and then launched a language bombardment, hoping that they would be forced to join a club casually - although the chances of being selected are like buying lottery tickets, but there is still hope, right?

  "What should we do?" Sophia leaned in and whispered to Elisha.

  "Come on!" Eriol shrugged her shoulders, "You can't seriously be thinking of just picking one at random to join?"

  "The problem is... if we don't make a choice, forget about having lunch today." Charsi also chimed in, "Or should we find someone to call the teacher over?"

  "It's useless, even if we call the teacher to chase them away now, I guarantee they'll be back this afternoon." Elisha shook her head and said, "It won't work today, and they'll continue tomorrow. Do you plan on calling the teacher every day?"

  "What's good then?" Cecilia had been trying to find Fabiano to get him to go for reinforcements, but all she saw was a sea of people in front of her.

  "Why don't we just say that we're going to create our own club?" Little Lori smiled slyly, "We can deceive them into not bothering us anymore, and then we can slowly choose a good club later."

  After a while, the corridor of the first-year magic department was filled with earth-shattering and heart-wrenching wails that were truly heartbreaking to hear. It is said that at noon on this day, all the birds in the campus stopped chirping, the newly sprouted grass withered and died in large patches, and the buds that were about to bloom fell off the branches in handfuls, causing countless students who were moved by the scene to vow to become traveling poets from then on. Many young girls also had their hearts stolen away by those boys who could effortlessly come up with a few lines of poetry that would make even the Poetry Immortal spit out his wine and the Poetry Sage spit out his tea, resulting in numerous beautiful love stories.

  Airi: "Do you dare to spout more nonsense?"

  It's really sorry to have dragged you into this mess.

  Alicia and others finally calmed down, but it didn't take an afternoon for the calmness to end.

  Because after school in the afternoon they were still blocked, and this time the reason was: asking them to join their club!

  Alicia now had a heart of tofu, and for the first time she understood what it meant to be trapped in her own cocoon.

  It wasn't until Chris arrived that those seniors scattered like mice seeing a cat.

  "What are we going to do now? The whole school thinks that the few of us are going to start a new club." Cecilia said, tugging at her hair in frustration.

  "Then let's build one." Sophia said with a smile, covering her mouth with her hand, "Anyway, adding anyone isn't good, it's better to create our own club where we have the final say and are more free."

  "I somehow feel that you're taking pleasure in my misfortune?" Eliysha said with a sidelong glance at Sophia, pouting.

  "Ah, it's just an illusion."

  "It sounds even more suspicious."

  "Everyone says it's just an illusion." Sophia couldn't help but pout her small mouth, with a "you're bullying me" look on her face.

  "Don't act cute in front of girls, that's Lolita's specialty." Erihaya said with a poker face.

  Sophia gently pinched the small stupid hair on Eliya's head and smiled: "Unfortunately, the only loli here never sells Meng, what a pity."

  "Don't pinch me anymore, I won't turn black even if you pinch me again."

  Are you getting something mixed up?

  ================================I am a divider line================================

  Under the guidance of the map drawn by Chris, which was irresponsible but still useful for Kerry to follow, after experiencing 99 times of inhuman encounters such as crossing the college, passing through the men's toilet, three-minute hell crossing, and passing through a certain loli control and sister control palace, several girls finally found the student union room.

  Is this weird thing really just a map? By the way, how did you guys manage to cross over to the Demon Realm from the safest place in Western Continent?! That palace inside is probably full of loving creatures, why didn't you go in and take a look?!

  That's all for now, I've reached the word limit.

  Contrary to Eriol's expectations, after pushing the door open, she did not find the student council president dressed as a warrior that she had seen yesterday, but rather someone completely unexpected was organizing files on the desk in front of her.

  "An Qi xue jie? How are you here?" Eriechiya replied.

  "Oh, Eriol and Misha, it's you two." Angie nodded to the crowd and said, "Of course I'm here, since I'm a member of the student council myself."

  "Are you a member of the student council? This school is kind of scary......" Eriol said with a "I'm scared" expression while backing away.

  "Hey, are you here to humiliate me? I've already apologized for what happened with Michelle!"

  Eri sighed helplessly: "That's why people with dull brains can't make jokes. Okay, senpai, today we're here to apply for the establishment of a new club."

  "I've heard about it. It's quite a big deal, you guys." An Qi pulled out a large sheepskin paper form and spread it on the table. "So, has everything been settled regarding the club name, main activity content, members, and activity department? The advisor teacher should be Ms. Kulis, right? Only she would take on dozens of clubs as an advisor and never show up."

  "Activity department room... uh, senior sister, can you help introduce an empty one?" Elisia and the others also made a temporary decision, how could they think of so many things.

  "There is an empty room on the second floor of the old building near the back hill, you can arrange club activities there." An Qi flipped through the materials and said, "As long as you don't mind the noise around."

  "Are you still going to quarrel when we're both old and near the end of our lives?" Michelle tilted her head, furrowed her delicate eyebrows, and thought deeply.

  An Qi smiled slightly: "Because the old building isn't just your club. The Mahjong Club is upstairs, and the Light Music Club is downstairs, both are very noisy."

  Should I even be complaining about this? You careless typist, go back and revise the script for me!!

  Sophia looked around and said, "For now, the members are just me, Michelle, Eri, Kassie, and Cecilia. Since it was Eri who proposed applying to create a club, let her be the minister. As for specific matters..."

  Sophia looked at herself, and Eriol thought carefully and said: "We haven't thought of what activities to do in the club for the time being. Maybe senior can fill in the three words 'making soy sauce'?"

  "You can't be serious?" Krassi laughed stiffly.

  "What's wrong with being idle? Do whatever you want when there's nothing to do." Elisha said, counting on her fingers, "Drinking tea, playing games, chatting, all that's fine. If you're really bored, I'll give you the ultimate atmosphere regulator - Li Hua Yin, the exclusive pet of girls' dormitory 2A09!"

  Thinking of Li Hua's usual behavior, everyone in the house except for a certain naive and clueless third-year student suddenly had beads of sweat forming on their foreheads.

  "Still, perhaps it's better not to?" Cecilia said cautiously.

  "It's indeed a bit too spicy." The little loli herself couldn't help but wipe away some sweat, "Pretend I didn't say that."

  "Compared to this, you'd better think of a name for your club first," Anqi said to Eri.

  Eriol's right hand supported her chin as she pondered, "The name... Because the purpose of establishing this club was to avoid trouble and find a peaceful place, it goes without saying that our future club activities will definitely be spent in idleness and doing nothing. And the idea of establishing a club initially flashed through my mind like a passerby..."

  I've decided! Our club's name will be... "The Soy Sauce Passersby!"

  Mitsuki pushed open the window, which was still a bit cold, and enthusiastically observed a small bird with bright colors on a nearby branch. A gust of cold wind blew in through the window, carrying a few dry leaves into the already chilly student council room, adding to the chill.

  "Although it's completely free to choose a name and club activity, it still needs to be reviewed by the student union and approved by the dean." An Qi, who was usually serious, also had an expression of crying and laughing at the same time, "Are you sure you want to choose such a name that looks like it doesn't make sense?"

  "Oh, it's been approved by the Dean, huh." Eri suddenly smiled mischievously, "That makes it even easier. Senpai, just hand over the application form to me and I'll guarantee that it'll be approved by the Dean in no time."

  The little loli laughed so evilly that Angie couldn't help but feel that someone was going to be unlucky.
