Chapter 57: Exchanging Notebooks (3)
"Hello, Senior, I would like to ask where the recipe is."
"Recipe, huh?"
Louise, who was busy writing something, looked up at Liliana.
"Yes, recipes for making sweets. Uh... like recipes for cookies, cakes, or chocolates."
Liliana wanted to conceal her intentions, so she deliberately said a lot of irrelevant things as a smokescreen.
But because she felt guilty, her eyes wandered when she spoke.
This did not escape Louise.
"Pfft, if you're looking for the chocolate recipe, it's on the seventh floor of the third section of that row of bookshelves. If you have a ladder, you can get it directly from here, or you can look for it nearby. Remember to put it back where it came from after use."
Louise replied with a chuckle behind her hand.
"Um, um, I'm not going to make chocolate! Really, really not."
"Is that so? Then just consider it as a misunderstanding. I'm so sorry."
Although Louise was apologizing.
But Liliana could clearly feel that the other party did not listen to her words at all.
"If you want dessert recipes, they are basically in that area. If you can't find it, you can come here and ask me."
After Louise finished speaking, she continued to concentrate on the work in her hands.
Completely different from how he treated Alfred.
When Louise faced Liliana, she gave people an indescribable sense of distance.
Although her attitude was cordial and polite, Liliana could clearly feel that she was deliberately controlling the distance between them, and there was a strange atmosphere where no extra words were spoken to each other.
It was as if Louise had cleverly built a special fortress around herself.
Although the fortress appears to have an open gate, it is actually surrounded by extremely smooth slides.
As soon as someone gets too close, they will be immediately sent to the distance designed by Louise by the slide.
I absolutely don't want to get close to anyone, nor do I allow anyone to get close to me.
Liliana had no intention of building a good relationship with Louise, nor did she plan to discuss matters other than recipes with her.
But Louise's attitude still made Liliana feel uncomfortable.
Especially after seeing how intimate she was with Alfred.
"That, that..."
"Hmm? Any questions?"
"This is no longer available. Thank you, Senior."
Being stared at by Louise's gentle purple eyes, Liliana didn't know how to start for a moment.
In addition, asking about the other party's relationship with Alfred is not an easy thing to talk about.
She finally gave up, thanked him and fled.
After escaping from the service desk, Liliana followed Louise's instructions and easily found the chocolate recipe.
"Really? What on earth am I doing?"
She took out a ladder from a special compartment nearby and couldn't help sighing as she climbed up the bookshelf.
The good mood I had today is now gone.
An indescribable subtle feeling made Liliana feel a little overwhelmed.
She shook her head, as if to shake off the worries in her heart.
Then, after taking the cookbook off the shelf, she sat on the ladder and began to read.
"Hmm~hmm, although I feel like I eat it quite often, I didn't expect there are so many kinds of chocolate."
Liliana casually flipped through the different chocolates and browsed through their recipes.
(If it’s too complicated to make, I feel like it will be a mess… If I choose a recipe that’s too simple, will Al misunderstand that I don’t value him…)
The more she looked at it, the more distressed she became, and finally she decided to go with the more conservative filling of nuts.
"Let's remember a few other kinds later. It might not be a good idea to do the same thing as Rose. She might also want to try something more difficult..."
Liliana muttered to herself, pulled out a crystal pen from her bosom, opened her notebook and prepared to copy down the recipe.
But then she realized that this notebook looked exactly the same as her own.
But it's really just the same.
The things recorded in it were not the miscellaneous notes that Liliana usually wrote, but things that she could not understand at all.
It feels like a novel story.
There are very few styles of notebooks sold in the shopping street.
For example, girls would prefer the three styles with pure white, light pink and light blue covers.
The most popular one, of course, is the one with a light pink cover.
Liliana didn't think it was strange to meet a student in the academy who used the same pink cover notebook as herself.
"Ah! By the way, Bartlett and Lespinas seemed to have notebooks just now, so I guess we got mixed up at that time..."
After figuring out what was going on, Liliana sighed and prepared to close her notebook.
After all, she didn't know who the notebook belonged to, Edward or Ella.
It's not a good interest to snoop into other people's privacy.
But when she was about to close the notebook, Liliana saw something she could not ignore.
[On March 3, the academy held an Easter event. Rose died in a terrorist attack by an unknown force. Alfred turned evil and began to investigate the attack and try to avenge Rose...]
(What on earth is this…)
?◇?◇?◇?◇?
"That's all for today. Thank you for your hard work."
After the student union's work came to an end, Cecilia thanked everyone as usual.
"Hehe, it's not hard at all. You are the one who is the most tired, Senior Sister Cecilia. You are the one who is having a hard time."
Aeril replied with excessive energy as always.
"I really appreciate your kindness, Ariel. But since a while ago, you have been hiding beside Rose and taking a break. You haven't done any work, right?"
Cecilia glared at him sternly.
Aeril immediately huddled up next to Rose, trying to use her petite body to block Cecilia's sight.
"I, I have finished my part, and Rose has helped me with the rest, so there should be no problem, Cecilia-senpai, please don't be angry!"
"Ah... So, you're dependent on Rose, and Rose you too, aren't you a little too doting on Lil?"
Cecilia said, holding her head with her hands, as if she was troubled.
"A-Ahahaha...Because I'm totally useless in jobs that require fighting or searching outside, so I want to do as much as possible in terms of paperwork."
Rose, who was named, explained with an awkward smile.
“As for Aeril, she’s a muscle-brained and outdoor person, so when you have the chance, you should order Aeril to work hard!”
