Chapter 229.2. Preparing For Base Camp
“Alright then, let’s eat the curry.”
“Hehe, it feels just like camping, doesn’t it?”
“Bon appétit!”
We set up a table in front of the mansion, scooped curry onto their plates, and raised their spoons. We were already very hungry.
Just as we were about to eat the curry with smiles on their faces, a voice with a thorny tone reached their ears, causing them to stop.
“Oh my, you seem quite at ease with your orienteering.”
It was Menou Elizabeth who appeared unsteadily from the forest, her perfectly arranged drill-like hair now messy, twigs entwined in her hair, and her cheeks smudged with mud.
Her face showed signs of exhaustion, and she seemed to be walking with little energy.
“It was quite difficult to get here…”
Tsuki also appeared in a similar state, followed by Sena, Shin, and even Masatoshi. Only Ninny was calmly riding a broomstick.
Surprisingly, even Shin seemed tired. Furthermore, the other classmates and senior guardians who were there for their protection also followed behind.
What’s going on? What happened?
“We were also heading towards this base, but there were a lot of troublesome monsters. It was tough.”
“Big brother helped our classmates who were being attacked, so he had a hard time!”
“Well, well… They’re all classmates, so it’s only natural to help each other, right?”
Shin gently patted Tsuki’s head, who was fuming with anger.
“Alright, let’s start preparing for the camp. Is anyone unable to move?”
He even asked if there were any injuries and showed concern.
…? Wait a minute. I can’t see that somewhat acting-like appearance from earlier. He looks like he genuinely means it.
There was Shin, showing his typical kind-heartedness.
What’s this? I turned my gaze to Sena, and she was frowning with a bitter expression. It’s a face that ruins a beautiful girl’s appearance, so be careful, Seina.
“Until we got here, everyone went through hardships… Yet, Teijou Yamiyo seems to have it quite easy. Isn’t Student Council President Kohaku showing too much favoritism?”
“Huh, what?”
Elizabeth sharply criticized Sena with a piercing gaze.
Confused by what she meant, Sena was taken aback, and Elizabeth continued to express her dissatisfaction.
“The Student Council elites served as their guards, providing accommodations, luxurious meals… And they’ve already prepared the required magic stones for submission. Is this not favoritism?”
“Uh, …wha-what?!”
Taken aback, Seina tried to speak but couldn’t find the words.
I see, I see… favoritism, huh.
Indeed, behind Mii-chan and the others, they saw the restored accommodation facility for 7.2 billion yen just now.
And the delicious-looking Ultimate Curry.
Mii-chan and the others already took a bath and looked clean.
They also saw Doggie King’s magic stone we left on the table.
I get it now. The people who just arrived seem to see it as favoritism!
“No, no! We just spent 7.2 billion yen to restore this accommodation facility!”
“Hah, if you’re going to lie, why not come up with a more convincing lie? Who would spend so much money on a 2 night, 3 day camping trip? You must have prepared it in advance!”
Elizabeth laughed at Suzu, who was telling the truth.
But why does that idiot with teary blue eyes look like she’s about to cry?
“Mi-chan, help me~.”
“Well, it’s pointless to argue now! Let’s say the bath is ready, so everyone can come in.”
Seeing their tired expressions, Mii-chan suggested entering the mansion.
“Thank you, Her Majesty.”
“Phew, we made it~.”
“Can we use the stove to cook?”
“Have you decided on the room arrangements?”
“Yes, it’s all settled.”
“When you’re tired, eating candy can help!”
I handed out candy I had made in large quantities. People who received them smiled and said the candy was delicious.
It seemed like they were all planning to stay overnight. Well, there are plenty of rooms, so it doesn’t matter.
“Ha! You’re deceiving people like that! We won’t lose to the Kohaku Family!”
“Now, now, let’s focus on our monster extermination. Let’s aim to collect more valuable magic stones than that one.”
Shin comforted Elizabeth, putting his hand on her shoulder. His eyes shone with a mischievous light.
She nodded, and Elizabeth and her group also entered the mansion. They just walked in.
But I’ve seen this before…
In the 1st volume of the original story! The turbulent orienteering where Kohaku Suzu favors Taiyou and his followers.
For Taiyou and his entourage, she prepares food, sets up tents, and even provides them with magic stones, working like a servant.
Deciding to distance herself from the Menou Marquisate, Elizabeth forms a party with Shin and the others.
Then, she complains that Suzu favors them too much.
Suzu laughs off her protests and answers that power is everything.
And then, just like Shin did now, they defeat a powerful monster attacking their classmates and obtain a magic stone, achieving the top score.
The epilogue of the first volume had Shin, Student Council President, Susano’o, and the other Susano’o men come into full-blown hostility.
Strangely, Suzu is frustrated, and Taiyou only has a few lines.
The situations are different, and their positions are different, but I see. It was following the story quite closely.
I’m impressed. Well done. The original story has finally begun.
It’s a shame, Mii-chan is being ignored again.
She’s just a background character, so she can’t do anything.
By the way, while we were talking, the plate with the curry is empty. Nan-chan, do you know anything about it?
